00:00 Gents we've been through the instruction you both know the rules remember to obey my commands at all times above all protect yourselves at all
00:07 times
00:09 so
00:35 He was in a big car smash as well last year
00:38 He's had problems making the weight in the past
00:41 But now he says he's a dad daughter Harper is his focus and he wants to make up for lost time
00:48 He's a good kid is the explosive, but I've always admired his skills actually very skillful talented boxer
00:56 How these problems most certainly very clear there behind him now?
00:59 He's in with the tough lad here tonight is when his last five and he's decent
01:04 But being here. It's like a bear pit
01:06 Bethel green
01:10 May affect his opponent here and Janez, but yes gone. I've always been a big fan of his and I admire his skill
01:17 He's exciting to watch and he's a ticket seller. There's a fair few made their way up from the south coast
01:23 He's based in Southampton trained by Wayne Batten and of course good old uncle Frank Hopkins
01:31 Who's been alongside him since word go and there's plenty of punches being thrown in this opening round?
01:37 Kevin Parker being told by Anton is watch for Garner's elbow which he says came into effect in that close exchange
01:45 Garner here boxing quite sensibly in this opening round the way he's boxing. He's keeping the hands nice and high
01:52 So Anton is has come back with a couple of right hands, but they've been blocked from gone
01:56 Look as he's walking forward look. That's a nice job, but the guards nice and high
02:01 Anything coming back there was an example. They had a right hand from Anton is but it's well blocked from Garner
02:06 When buttons been trying to instill in Garner the understanding that fights don't have to be won by
02:13 Amazing all-out assault from the word go and that sometimes the long route
02:18 The more measured route is the way to take a fight
02:22 He live instilled that into him
02:24 But Garner's natural inclination is always to get in there and throw the big punches like this
02:30 Good injection of pace there from Ghana really put it on on his opponents backing him onto the ropes
02:41 Just lost his focus there got caught and his opponent just turned him
02:48 Wild shots from Anton is I should imagine. He's fairly dangerous
02:52 But like I says gone up to this stage keeping that guard high blocking the shots and the better quality
02:58 He's coming from the Southampton man
03:00 Tall for a super by the way to answer that stands close to five foot ten
03:06 As you heard he's won his last five fights in fact took his Spanish title in his last appearance
03:15 Runs a grocery store away from boxing
03:18 Good work from Garner in the last few seconds of a fairly dramatic opener
03:25 Welcome back to a hot night at York Hall Ryan Garner in the red shorts really going for his Spanish opponent
03:41 Good work here from Ghana put the pressure on going through the gears
03:45 Lovely straight left down there work for him
03:48 Kept in turners in that corner
03:51 The first round
03:54 Yeah, first round to Ghana it's a ten rounder this for the vacant WBC international title
04:02 See the ring position is better for Ghana when he backs up lantern is onto those ropes the taller man
04:10 In Antonez, he can't use the height and reach his feet come square his body then he's target areas full on to Ghana
04:16 So he's taking advantage to Ghana's boxing. Well here good tactics
04:21 Antonez has got a stay central more in the boxing ring space to maximize that height and reach
04:27 You notice Ryan's tattooed arms. He's got pictures of Muhammad Ali Mike Tyson and sugar a Leonard
04:34 So three bad ones
04:39 Nice defensive work there from Ghana also
04:41 Just slip in those shots. I
04:44 Think Anton is okay. We'll carry a fair bit of weight in those swings
04:50 The shots that he's throwing gets liquid leverage in his punches, but it's very inaccurate
04:55 Like I said, he's all over the place. His footwork is bad John the way he keeps going back onto those ropes and the feet come square
05:07 Ghana nice and compact and he's boxing his way into range
05:10 There's nothing being flung in from range out of desperation. But when he gets in range lovely right uppercut in there
05:17 He's making the most of the opportunities that come his way
05:20 Doesn't want to get complacent no as he's walking forward still keep
05:27 Half an eye on avoiding the shots as you're going forward better work from Ghana
05:32 Kiko
05:34 Nartinez another Spaniard who held a world title recently as one of the smaller fighters
05:48 He was the IBF featherweight champion beat kid Galahad
05:52 In 2021 before losing the title to Josh Warrington
05:56 Is good again from Ghana
06:02 Yes, he's boxing in Bursas knees landing some good shots and the hands are nice and high again took him in the
06:08 Elbows also, so he's blocking shots
06:10 After he's landed his own. That's good work
06:13 And the eye-catching flurries which will surely be catching the eyes of the judges. That's better for Martinez
06:21 battling back
06:24 Trying to return fire with fire
06:30 Look into his own corner there though wasn't there as much to say how do I stop this guy?
06:35 Well, I think he's quite inaccurate though John with his work a lot of the time Martinez. I
06:39 Think the better words from Ghana
06:41 Even at long range with the job occasionally for sure
06:45 But he closes the gap very quickly and then gets to work mid-range short range on the inside
06:50 It's been all gone up to now
06:52 These body shots from Ghana are starting to get to the Spaniard a bit and that's a conclusive round to Ghana
06:59 Yes
07:01 That was another really good round
07:06 Instructions coming from Wayne Patterson
07:14 Really close trainer fighter relationship those two
07:20 Gala had a good round there Richie
07:23 Very good indeed pressure on that front foot. That's how he closed that gap down with that jab
07:29 You see that's good boxing from him if he misses the target the feet are in fast
07:33 Then he does he's better work that made in short range
07:36 When button wrecks that answer is
07:40 Represents a step up in class for Ryan Ghana
07:45 But I just thought there were signs even at this early stage in the second that the Spaniard was struggling with the weight
07:52 particularly of the body shots of Ghana
07:54 Well, he's gone off at a terrific pace as Ryan Garner, it's whether you're about to keep this up
08:02 This is a 10 round contest remember
08:04 Antonez obviously taking shots
08:07 tiring himself
08:11 But can Ghana maintain this pace?
08:13 Martinez being told for Antonez being told off for grabbing hold of his leg. He's got a chance to get it back in the game
08:20 Martinez
08:22 Martinez being told for Antonez being told off for grabbing hold of his man illegally
08:45 Punch from Ghana straight low, but it switches the attack to the head effectively
08:50 Antonez has got to watch what he's doing here John the way the way boxing is
08:56 Taking so many risks let me go on and get through on the inside and work into the body feet from square
09:02 He's gone
09:05 Brilliantly in the corner chopping right hand followed by the left hand to the chin and is he gonna get up?
09:12 Frank Warren was on his feet
09:14 Applauding his fighter Ryan Garner and now the end could come here right here in the third because Ghana's going to work
09:21 He's looking to take out the Spaniard right now and the referee Kevin Parker is poised
09:27 One more big punch might be enough
09:29 He wants to see something coming back from Antonez and there comes a punch and not before time
09:35 Ghana's put a tremendous effort here in in this third round, but he cannot get him away
09:41 One more big shot maybe
09:43 It's all over
09:46 Gets a brilliant win his legion of supporters celebrates
09:50 He's hugged by his delighted trainer Wayne Button and tonight
09:55 He was very very good. That was a terrific display for Ryan Garner. We said it at the start of the round
10:02 Can he maintain this pace? He didn't maintain it
10:05 He went up another level
10:07 Caught his opponent with a cracking shot to put him to to the canvas and then just kept it going sustain the pressure
10:13 It was his accuracy. It was the work with the jab
10:16 It was the work on the inside and it was also that defensive work that made it so impressive an overall display
10:22 Very very good indeed. Let's have a look at it here as he's coming forward
10:27 There's that right arm through the middle there
10:30 Then he just tries to avoid a shot knows he's got his opponent in trouble here
10:35 He senses the victory so he maintains the pressure keeps it going
10:39 Left down goes through there's the right hand turns his opponent
10:44 There's a cracking right hand there and then he knows that the finishing lines in place and that's the one that put him to the canvas
10:51 After that, he kept it going
10:53 He put Antonez into the corner
10:55 To fisted attack maintain the pressure the referee jumps in it's a good shape from the referee nothing coming back
11:02 That's a good victory for Ryan Garner really was we said before it began. This is one very very exciting young fighter
11:10 25 years old
11:13 Antonez took it to him, but Garner had every response all action
11:19 Terrific variety of punches and the sustained attack that took him out and the chance now of Ryan Ryan
11:27 Sure will be music to his ears
11:31 Wayne Batten and Ryan Garner just speaking to Frank Warren. Yeah, it's a good display and Antonez had a three and a half inch height
11:39 Advantage there John, but he was never allowed to use it Garner was better with the footwork
11:44 The tactics were spot-on back your opponent onto the ropes making come square switch the attack body and head his accuracy and timing
11:53 We're perfect tonight Ryan Garner. That was a real good display
11:56 But the tactics from him in backing his opponents up I think was key and Antonez just couldn't find the center of the ring
12:03 And yes, that's a good display indeed
12:05 He admits he's done some silly things in the past, but at the age of 25
12:11 He realizes that he has to make the most of his considerable ability and tonight he did here's Devsani
12:22 Ladies and gentlemen at the time of two minutes 18 seconds in the third round
12:27 Your referee Kevin Parker calls a halt to this contest
12:32 therefore your winner by TKO
12:34 New
