00:00 Ladies and gentlemen, when I say it's a great mistake, step back immediately, keep your
00:05 punches up, obey my commands and perset yourselves at all times.
00:08 Good luck to you both gentlemen, touch gloves.
00:11 Ryan Garner from Southampton, what a year he's had.
00:16 Was in a huge car crash last October and from what he was telling us earlier on, very, very
00:24 fortunate to have escaped with his life.
00:26 His trainer Wayne Batten in the car at the time as well.
00:31 He's had a daughter, Harper, born four months ago and says that it's going to be a new Ryan
00:36 Garner now, settled, grown up, wanting to earn money, wanting to dedicate himself, wanting
00:43 to buy a home for his little daughter and he's been sparring as well with one Michael
00:48 Conlon over the last few weeks and apparently doing okay.
00:51 He won't get better sparring than that with him preparing for his world title shot, so
00:57 that would have really benefited from those spars, but yeah, he's a quality kid, isn't
01:02 he, Garner?
01:03 But he's had his problems.
01:05 Oh, good shot.
01:06 Sorry, Richie, good shot, that left hand.
01:08 Yeah, good shot indeed and he's had his problems out of the ring as well, hasn't he?
01:11 And when you consider he made his debut in 2016, he's only had the 12 fights and seven
01:17 years on and he's got to really get a move on.
01:21 He's aged 25, but like you said, John, he's got his priorities right now and a lot to
01:25 aim for and he's got a lot of skill.
01:27 He's in a good contest here.
01:29 Yeah, a lot of talent.
01:30 There were times when it looked as though he was going to go off the rails and not really
01:35 make the most of the undoubted talent that he has at 25.
01:40 I'll tell you what, I for one really hope that he does start to deliver.
01:43 A couple of body shots there from Valverde, left hand was a decent one, just underneath
01:48 the right elbow of Garner.
01:51 Boxing well here, switching, they're both actually switching the attack downstairs.
01:56 Garner just getting the better of it, good body shots going in.
02:00 Yes, always been impressed with Garner, very skilful boxer indeed.
02:06 And he's in against an opponent here who's willing to take a shot to land one.
02:12 He's a bit of a toughie himself here, Valverde.
02:15 Well he dropped Birmingham's Tommy Collins back in March in the first round.
02:21 He lost in six rounds on points there, but he has got a reputation for being a real spirited
02:26 opponent.
02:27 And he's looking as though he's prepared to try and stand and trade with Garner, which
02:33 can be a high risk strategy.
02:35 Interesting as well that in Ryan Garner's corner is his manager and cut man, Frank Hopkins,
02:41 who keeps trying to tell us as he's in his mid-70s that he's walking away from the sport,
02:46 but he can't walk away from Ryan.
02:48 No, he can't.
02:50 I mean this round has been a cracker, hasn't it?
02:52 It certainly isn't a scouting mission for either of them.
02:55 Both going for it, both landing big shots, taking a few risks, but switching the attack
02:59 well.
03:00 A couple of good body shots going there from Garner, and lovely right hand to the head
03:04 there also.
03:05 Well, more action in this opening round than you sometimes have in several rounds, and
03:10 it's been the most entertaining little scrap that we've seen so far here at York Hall tonight.
03:17 Last few seconds of a really spirited opening round.
03:20 Good body shot from Garner, planted his feet and dug in a left hand into the solar plexus.
03:25 He's probably won that opening round, but Valverde has really made it an argument.
03:35 With the biggest range of cars to buy entirely online, it's no wonder everyone's cinching
03:39 it.
03:40 I cinched it.
03:41 Chris and Sue cinched it with no surprise fees.
03:44 Everything was covered.
03:45 Well, Johnny cinched it with a 14 day money back guarantee.
03:49 Nice drive.
03:50 Yes, it is actually.
03:51 I cinched it.
03:52 Even my mum cinched a quality money back.
03:56 We know you're everywhere.
03:57 With so many great reasons to buy, the nation aren't just nailing it, they're cinching it.
04:03 Don't, don't, listen, don't let them count on you, them single jacks, okay?
04:09 And then it works, it works.
04:12 Good opening round.
04:13 Mix them up, up, down, up, down.
04:14 Just be alert, just watch them long, moving shots.
04:15 Mike Barton and Frank Hopkins in that corner.
04:16 Valverde showing plenty of spirit though, Richie.
04:17 He was in there opening round all the way, wasn't he?
04:18 He landed some good shots of his own.
04:19 I just thought the better quality work came from Garner.
04:20 Towards the end of the round then he hit Valverde with a couple of, a couple of, a couple of
04:21 shots of his own.
04:22 And he's got a good shot of his own.
04:23 He's got a good shot of his own.
04:24 And he's got a good shot of his own.
04:25 He's got a good shot of his own.
04:26 He's got a good shot of his own.
04:27 He's got a good shot of his own.
04:28 He's got a good shot of his own.
04:54 The pain is staying.
04:55 He bravely gets to his feet, but how much more will he have to give?
05:01 Right now Garner will look to finish him off and we'll look for another body shot I'm sure
05:06 in the same place into the body.
05:07 And down he goes for a second time.
05:08 And will he be able to get up again?
05:09 It might be that the white flag is raised here.
05:10 He shakes his head and Garner is the winner.
05:11 Tremendous body work there from Garner.
05:12 It's an amazing round.
05:13, but you feel the body shots on them.
05:33 The ones that really get under your rib cage, that you feel them round after round.
05:38 So he would have still been feeling that pain as he's gone up and tried to box on.
05:42 He took another shot and then he just couldn't continue, but very impressive indeed from
05:47 Garner.
05:48 Let's have another look here.
05:49 There's a body shot there that went in and there's that left hook.
05:52 That's the one that really did the damage.
05:55 And he's still been feeling that as he gets up.
05:58 So then he continues and there's two shots that went in there, right hand and also the
06:04 left hook.
06:05 So what a display, what a comeback that was for Ryan Garner.
06:09 Punching display to the body.
06:11 First class.
06:12 And there's some very, very happy people in that Garner corner.
06:17 Wayne Button, Frank Hopkins, their faces wreathed in smiles and Ryan Garner rightly is absolutely
06:25 delighted and his fans look as though they're in celebratory mood as well.
06:30 Two fighters centering now and here's Dev Sarni to tell us the timing of the end.
06:39 Ladies and gentlemen, at the time of 49 seconds in the second round, your referee Mark Bates
06:46 calls a halt to this contest.
06:48 Therefore your winner by knockout, Ryan "The Pohanner" Garner.
07:00 Well if that's a new beginning, if that's a new serious Ryan Garner, if that's a man
07:05 who's trying to put together a boxing career to provide for a family, then that looked
07:11 pretty good to me.
