00:00 to have a chance in the WELTERWEIGHT division, but they have given the scale 70kg.
00:05 There is Johan Alexandru Lutic, who belongs to the team of Manuel Ortiz,
00:10 that many will say, who is Manuel Ortiz?
00:11 Lin, ah, Lin, I should have said it before, right?
00:14 Well, he is already well known in the pugilistic world as Lin,
00:18 and he is the one who has been in the career of Johan Alexandru Lutic.
00:22 And Tomás, we don't have to sell anything to the spectators, it's a tough fight, huh?
00:28 Yes, of course.
00:30 Be careful, when Johan Alexandru faced El Cartuti, he already put him out in the first round.
00:38 He also made El Cartuti kiss the canvas.
00:40 Johan Alexandru has that victory, and he has that victory by KO,
00:44 and we have seen it in other disciplines as well.
00:46 It's tough, it won't be easy for Francis Morales, who comes from that defeat with Jorge Fortea,
00:53 that time of inactivity, but he has to force himself today.
00:58 Fortea, no, with Robin Zamora.
01:00 With Robin Zamora, sorry, with Robin Zamora, the pugil that had that resurgence,
01:05 that had that victory against Tamen Taylor in Córdoba,
01:10 that he can narrate in person, that he had a spectacular fight,
01:14 that he imposed himself there, frankly, he had a couple of good victories,
01:18 and the Robin Zamora pugil is not easy to beat,
01:21 even if he has that series of defeats, but it is a very strong pugil with good activity.
01:25 He didn't have it easy in that aspect, but he's still there,
01:30 he's facing now this one, and Alexandru, who as we see,
01:34 doesn't stop in his attack, in his offense, and he wants to impose himself,
01:37 and this fight is very appetizing, Emilio.
01:41 Very corpulent, the Romanian boxer, Johan Alexandru Lutic,
01:45 the back like an open wardrobe, as that mythical humorist would say,
01:50 Francis Morales has to work.
01:52 You can't allow a mistake by Francis Morales, this Catalan boxer,
01:59 the 37-year-old pugil, that defeat you mentioned against Robin Zamora,
02:04 you said Jorge Fortea, Jorge Fortea is the one who defeated Ismael Flores,
02:08 we'll talk about it later, but that defeat against Robin Zamora,
02:12 well, it was, the truth, something unexpected,
02:15 and an amazing setback for Francis Morales' career,
02:22 as we said, the 37-year-old, there's not much time left,
02:27 the time is running out, and we need to make the Spanish Championship.
02:31 Today, Francis Morales can't fail, he has to work from a distance,
02:35 there's nothing else to see, Johan Alexandru Lutic,
02:39 a muscular pugil, a very strong boxer,
02:42 who's going to look for that fight in the short distance,
02:46 be careful Francis, jump from there, that's dangerous.
02:50 We said it before, Emilio, that Alexandru is a pugil that puts pressure,
02:55 we'll see how far the cardio can take him,
02:59 but he doesn't give up, he hasn't come here to lose,
03:02 Alexandru doesn't let himself be fooled by his record,
03:05 it's a professional record that doesn't match the attitude of the Roman pugil,
03:11 but he comes to offer a fight, he comes to offer a blow,
03:14 he's offering an offensive that, so far,
03:17 we've been careful, this first jump can escape Francis Morales.
03:24 Well, Francis Morales has to go to his boxing,
03:28 boxing at his distance, not confronting Lutic in that short distance.
03:36 Look, the Romanian boxer is greeting his partner,
03:42 you have to be focused, you've made a good first jump,
03:47 and of course, Lutic promises.
03:51 Yes, of course, you're not letting Francis Morales think,
03:56 Francis Morales is a pugil that has a much more technical boxing than him,
04:01 he's a pugil that has a good correct boxing, orthodox,
04:04 based on that jab work, those combinations, that mobility, those straight blows,
04:09 you have to be careful, practically, with that offensive.
04:13 We're going to go to the second jump,
04:26 a first round that Francis Morales has dominated from a distance,
04:30 with the good jab work, but Lutic has finished very aggressive,
04:34 cutting the distance, trying to lead the fight to a fight in an elevator,
04:41 where there's no possibility of displacement, where only the strongest is in command,
04:47 and that's what the Romanian is trying to do, to lead Francis Morales,
04:50 and Francis Morales, I think, Tomás, has to be moving and working on his jab.
04:59 Lutic is a very strong guy.
05:02 He needs a lot of mobility, he has that ability,
05:06 he has that ability to work with his jab and move well,
05:10 he has a good jab, he knows how to cross that right, he knows how to work well in the back,
05:15 and he has to melt that pressure that is increasing Alexandru,
05:21 who has a good offensive, a good attack in offensive,
05:26 but Francis Morales has more technical ability, more talent, more resources than the Romanian,
05:33 and we'll see if Alexandru's pressure is imposed or that technical ability of Morales.
05:39 Indeed, Morales has to do what he's doing now,
05:45 touching, moving, trying to win the assaults in this way.
05:50 Then, what Tomás said, Lutic is also an unknown,
05:55 how he's prepared, we imagine he's good, of course,
05:59 but then, maybe the pressure is not so hard, so insistent,
06:05 and that can favor Francis Morales,
06:08 but what he can't do is lose these first assaults,
06:12 and of course, not stay there on the ropes,
06:17 in this case, the Catalan boxer.
06:20 Yes, indeed, not lose these first two assaults,
06:23 this is a combat with six assaults,
06:26 but a priori, the Romanian has been very effusive,
06:30 now it seems that he has slowed down a little,
06:32 but be careful, when he reaches his distance, he's reaching too,
06:36 he's reaching, exchanging and connecting blows that can be...
06:41 Francis Morales.
06:45 For the moment, there is Francis Morales with his jab work,
06:49 trying to be on the edge of the fight,
06:53 in which Lutic wants to put him,
06:56 what a good time against Morales,
06:59 with that right straight to the Romanian,
07:03 Johan Alexandru Lutic, who has swallowed him without water,
07:06 the boxer of the team, Lin,
07:11 and Francis Morales, without trying,
07:15 to his luck, hitting with those combinations,
07:18 he must win the rounds,
07:20 that's the plan that Francis Morales must carry.
07:24 Yes, totally, I think he was a little surprised by that aggressiveness,
07:29 that effusiveness with which Alexandru has come out,
07:32 he has been a little surprised,
07:34 Francis Morales probably tried to cap the time,
07:38 to level that aggressiveness of Alexandru,
07:42 but it's costing him,
07:44 because Alexandru comes with that offensive attitude,
07:48 combining and doing damage.

08:21 Morales's good technique of the veteran Francis Morales when the third assault begins, and Lutic, who will have to do the opposite.
08:38 Totally, he is a guy who finds that ability when he is given the indications, he knows how to interpret them correctly. I had the opportunity to be in his corner in 2018 in the Spanish amateur championship as a coach of the national team, I was in his corner with Sándor Martín.
08:59 I remember that I was with him, and when Sándor told him the indications, he really interpreted them to the finger. Now it seems that he also follows that line, he is a very hardworking boy, he must remain at that distance, in that type of work that facilitates his strategy and not let himself be carried away by that impulsiveness that he is letting himself be carried away by.
09:26 Well, well, that combination of Francis Morales, he has not lost anything, a step back, because that is what he has to achieve, to win the assaults. Now he stays there at that distance, in which, as we say, he has nothing of interest for him.
09:48 The important thing is to touch, to hit, at least he wants to look for a KO, because he has seen that Lutic had shown some weakness, but that is not the case. Therefore, Morales has to be touching, hitting, moving, winning the assaults.
10:07 He does very well with that combination, perfect, the right straight, that is the boxing that Francis Morales must do, he is doing it well, and of course without making mistakes.
10:18 Totally, that is the boxing that he needs, that left jab work, mobility, when he sees the opportunity, cross with the right, Alexandru shows a more frontal offensive, absence of that waist work, with a work of Sainz, he is exchanging blows, either right or left guard, with danger in both hands.
10:42 But the strategic power is in Francis Morales, he can work with that left, move around, cross when he wants, and work at a distance.
10:52 For the moment, Francis Morales is doing a good job in this third assault, perhaps the assault in which the Catalan boxer is more brilliant.
11:07 And there, very well, doing his good boxing, which is what he needs, you have to warm up, you have to decide who is the strongest, it is not necessary, for boxing, the strongest does not always win, the smartest wins, and the one who does what he has to do wins.
11:27 Good third assault by Francis Morales.
11:37 Third assault.
11:47 That is the key, put pressure, put pressure, but the pressure is not to start, to start and to each one.
11:57 And another important detail, that Lutic is strong, there is no doubt about that, physically and also mentally.
12:17 He knows his rivals, and he has never lost by KO, he has 5 defeats, all of them to the points.
12:27 And it is precisely something that advises, that should advise Francis Morales, the one who has no interest, does not have to look for a fight, to put pressure on him.
12:37 But to play, to box, what is called boxing.
12:57 He knows he has to work, he knows the type of work he has to do, but he also knows the type of work he has to do, he knows that you can hurt him, you can work, you need to put pressure on him.
13:17 And the advantage can counteract the power that Francis Morales can show, but he will always be there, giving battle, he has to keep pushing, working, and continuing.
13:37 He has to keep pushing, working, and continuing.
13:57 He is doing an excellent fourth assault, with good technique, an intelligent assault, touching and also trying to hit with precision.
14:07 He has thrown blows to the body before, it seems that Francis Morales is aware that there is no way to win by KO to Lutic.
14:17 He has not been able to do anything with him, in his 6 professional fights, a young 26-year-old Romanian, and he is trying to throw him to the body, where he may have some weakness.
14:31 He is also starting to increase the pressure, he has nothing else to do, because if he is dedicated to boxing with Francis Morales, he loses.
14:45 Morales is better equipped technically, he is demonstrating it in this fight, as we say, a fight that goes from less to more.
14:55 Morales is taking out Francis Morales, knowing the pressure of Alexandru, he is not leaving him, good combinations, very good work with that left jab that is giving him the victory.
15:07 But he has to be careful not to stay there in that short distance, because he is under pressure from the Romanian, who does not want him to breathe during these last three assaults.
15:19 He has to have that mobility, Francis Morales, to leave him out of range and impose his technical strategy.
15:28 Another assault that passes to the locker room of Francis Morales, a very spectacular assault, this fourth round for Francis Morales.
15:41 There are two, six minutes, many minutes against Alexandru Lutic.
15:47 Obviously he is not a boxer with an excellent record, let's see if we hear the corner.
15:54 He is entering well, clean, hands up, always, all the time.
15:59 Francis, you are boxing spectacular, why don't we start the first minute, the first minute, don't touch us.
16:05 You started so strong at the beginning, the first minute I don't touch you, long rest.
16:09 The second minute we start now, the third minute, we adjust.
16:13 You start, you turn very high, and at the end you have 30 of weight.
16:17 Seconds, out.
16:24 Good conversation that they have had there in the corner, with Juanjo Albuiseque, César Córdoba and Francis Morales.
16:29 I told César Córdoba, let's manage the time better, don't start so strong that you notice it at the end of the assault.
16:35 And Francis Morales felt, understood what they were saying to him, but he said, hey, but mark my time.
16:42 Mark me a little bit, how the assault is going, so I know how I have to go, elaborating my plan.
16:52 The pressure that Alexandru is putting on me, it is difficult to work with that kind of pressure.
17:01 He is a guy you have in front of you, who always has an offensive attitude, who is eating the ground.
17:07 He needs mobility, he needs step back, he needs lateral steps, and always work with the automatic pilot in counterattack.
17:16 The work that Francis Morales is doing is not easy, because Alexandru is not the Romanian who comes here to lose,
17:24 he comes to do a job, and if he can, he is going to give it a try and try to win before the limit.
17:32 Good work also by Francis Morales, with that attitude he has, and knowing how to manage his strength at all times,
17:41 to dominate and stay well physically in that second half of the assault.
17:47 Well, Lutic, we already know, well, you can beat him, but Lutic is armed, he is armed, he has a gun,
17:55 and at any time he can reach you, even in the last second of the sixth assault, that requires a lot of concentration.
18:04 Francis Morales, a good physical preparation, that dosing that Cesar Córdova required,
18:11 and of course Francis Morales is doing a good fight.
18:16 Zero errors against Lutic, they are not recommended in any case, and therefore always maintaining that safety distance,
18:26 playing, working well with the jab, winning the assaults, I think he is winning the fight well.
18:32 You can even allow an assault that is not brilliant, but much less, what you can't allow is a confrontation with Lutic
18:44 in the short distance, it's a change of blows, I'm stronger than you, I beat you with my fists, and that's not it.
18:52 That's not the boxing that Francis Morales has to do.
18:55 I'm really enjoying Francis Morales' attitude, for that strategic work he's doing, but,
19:03 I love Alexandru, you can't neglect him, he's a puncher who's going to come, he's in danger in the six assaults,
19:11 and you can never underestimate this puncher in any fight, he can come, throw you a hand, and you can see that he has power.
19:18 He doesn't trust his record, this puncher can put a hand on you and sit you down in any assault.
19:25 Good work, he can't lose a concentration apex, Francis Morales, because he has to keep working to overcome this last assault,
19:35 and finish dominating this fight that is always in the shadow of chaos.
19:40 [Music]
19:46 Let's see what Lutic says.
19:48 [Music]
19:52 [Music]
20:00 [Music]
20:08 [Music]
20:16 [Music]
20:25 Well, we know that there's one assault left, three minutes of boxing, three minutes where Lutic has to go for all,
20:34 he has to go for a corner, cut the way for Francis Morales, cut all the space,
20:41 to fix him between the ropes and to take out definitive hands, and Francis Morales, on the contrary,
20:47 what he's doing, throwing the left jab, moving, going through the hip several times in the round,
20:55 careful with that right that Lutic just threw, and we already know what boxing is, Tomás,
21:01 you're having a fantastic fight, but you get a hand and it's over.
21:06 That's why Francis Morales must have excessive concentration against those blows,
21:12 which are terribly dangerous, Emilio, Alexandro, every time he takes out a hand, he takes it out with everything,
21:18 he comes with that offensive, he comes carrying the body as much as possible,
21:22 without leaving a force apex out of the ring, and he comes to try to win this fight,
21:28 he keeps fighting to win this fight, in the last assault, Francis Morales can't lose concentration,
21:35 he can't lose a second of concentration to have dominated by that offensive,
21:40 and those blows, we already saw it there, he already hurt him with that blow.
21:43 Exactly, Francis Morales was staying, right now we are seeing it, he is staying,
21:48 but nothing has been lost to Alexandro Lutic, who has just knocked him down,
21:54 there is a minute and a half left for the final, Lutic, we already know that he is going to try to hit the body,
22:01 try to finish the job with blows, Francis Morales has to continue, Lutic is hurting him,
22:08 the truth is that he is a very powerful boxer, very brave, a man who does a lot of damage,
22:14 and Francis Morales, who has to, now, pray for what you know, in this case, run as much as you can,
22:21 because you have to win the fight, and if you stay there, Francis, or he forces you to stay,
22:26 look, another fall of Francis Morales, the issue is that there is a minute left.
22:31 We don't fool anyone, Emilio, we don't fool anyone when we say that he was going for everything,
22:38 that he knows, that this Romanian hits hard, that he has a very important job,
22:44 45 seconds left, I think he won't be able to do it, Lutic is very strong,
22:53 unless he grabs himself again, he touches him again, three falls, the referee does not have to stop him,
23:01 but it is three falls, well, look, he stops him.
23:07 I think he has intervened in the corner, he has done a lot of damage to him in the area of the cup,
23:14 not in the empatic area, but in the opposite area, but he has worked very hard, we already said it,
23:20 we don't fool anyone, Emilio, when we say this, this Romanian comes to work,
23:26 he didn't come to lose, he comes to win, that record he has, deceiving,
23:31 we know that he worked hard on that offensive, he hit very hard, and he couldn't lose a point of concentration,
23:39 Francis Morales, in the end he won in a fight that he had won practically,
23:46 and good victory of the Romanian, Emilio.
23:49 Lutic, let's see, boxing is not easy, it is not impossible, because it is very complicated,
23:57 and of course it can get you, but what we have said, Francis Morales had to run as much as he could,
24:05 even if it seems like something that goes against the art of boxing, but in this case there was no other choice,
24:11 run in an order, run by touching, avoiding the short distance with Lutic,
24:17 especially when he had won practically all the assaults, but there, that first fall,
24:23 Francis Morales has stayed close to Lutic, and there he has finished him with that blow to the left side,
24:32 and then from there he has recovered, we know that the blows to the abdomen,
24:36 if they are recurrent, they are practically a synonym of KO.
24:41 He has taken advantage of it very well, he has taken advantage of the side-steak,
24:45 he does not mind changing the side-steak, practically left, right, side-steak,
24:54 he throws with combinations the Romanian, Alexandru, and he has taken him with that hand,
25:01 that first hand has done damage, and when they touch you down, it is very difficult to recover,
25:05 and it has been very difficult for him to recover, he has known how to work later,
25:10 and obviously he has doubled him because he has not been able to bear the pain that has inflicted on him.
25:18 A pity, a fight that has practically won Francis Morales, a good job that he had been doing,
25:25 but we already said it, be careful with Alexandru, I would not like to have him in front of Alexandru,
25:31 he is a boxer who hits hard, he comes well prepared,
25:35 and be careful, this is the sixth assault, and it can give the surprise.
25:40 2 minutes 40 seconds of the sixth assault, in the blue corner, Joan Alexandru López.
25:50 Well, the victory for the Romanian at 2 minutes and 40 seconds,
25:54 there were 20 seconds left for the predictable victory of Francis Morales,
25:58 but hey, we already know that we had been warning him, the boxing...
