00:00 (crowd chanting)
00:02 - Okay, gentlemen.
00:03 (crowd chanting)
00:04 Schedule the box 12 rounds.
00:05 I'm going over the rules in the dressing room.
00:07 I expect you to obey my commands at all times.
00:09 Most of all, protect yourself at all times.
00:11 Touch gloves, good luck.
00:12 - The mentality of Vincenzo Gualtieri is to be respected.
00:18 He said, "I understand Zsanibeg is a strong fighter
00:21 "with excellent punching power,
00:23 "but we're in the top level now,
00:25 "and I will only fight fighters who are good."
00:29 That's what boxing needs.
00:30 Stop hiding behind the O.
00:33 Go out there and look for glory,
00:35 and that's what Vincenzo Gualtieri
00:36 and Zsanibeg Elimhanala are trying to do here
00:39 in this middleweight title unification.
00:42 The power of Elimhanala in the green trunks
00:44 trimmed in red against El Capo,
00:47 the boxer, Vincenzo Gualtieri.
00:50 - Gualtieri has an interesting style.
00:53 It's untraditional.
00:54 You know, right now he's fighting in an orthodox stance,
00:56 but he also can fight in a southpaw stance.
00:58 He is a left-hander as well.
01:00 - How'd you prove it, Tim?
01:02 - Well, what I did was I threw my pin
01:04 across the table during the fighter meetings,
01:06 and he picked it up with his left hand,
01:08 and I said, "Oh, you're left-handed."
01:10 (laughs)
01:12 Makes a lot of sense.
01:13 - You hear Zsanibeg chants,
01:18 you hear El Capo chants as well here in Rosenburg, Texas.
01:22 See that lungeon right there?
01:24 Zsanibeg's gonna make him pay.
01:25 Right there, he took a pitcher.
01:27 A pitcher right there of Gualtieri
01:31 going over his back leg,
01:32 bringing his back leg forward and square it up.
01:34 Now, uppercut will be coming sooner than later.
01:36 - And both have vicious uppercuts
01:38 because that's the punch that Gualtieri
01:40 dropped Eskiva Falcao in his world championship fight
01:44 to win the world title his last time out,
01:47 but his power does not compare to Zsanibeg's Alimhanullah.
01:52 - Well, he caught him and he hurt him
01:53 because it was a punch he didn't see.
01:54 It came from underneath.
01:55 You know, the uppercut, Gualtieri is reactive.
01:59 So if you put enough pressure on him,
02:01 if you're close enough,
02:02 he's gonna release those uppercuts.
02:04 And they're quick, they're accurate, and to the point.
02:06 - The other thing that Gualtieri tends to do
02:12 is walk with his hands low, and you're seeing it there.
02:15 For moments, he picks them up,
02:17 puts them out as earmuffs,
02:18 but there's opportunities for Zsanibeg
02:20 when he walks like that with those hands low to connect.
02:25 - Good defense there from Gualtieri
02:26 as he gets those hands back up,
02:28 as Alimhanullah was shooting that right,
02:30 but that jab and the left cross get in.
02:32 - There it is.
02:33 No, this round, Zsanibeg's just taking his time.
02:41 Taking his time, he doesn't feel threatened at all.
02:45 He's bagging up Gualtieri, even with his feints.
02:49 Gualtieri has definitely felt that power,
02:51 and he doesn't wanna get hit cleanly.
02:54 That's the reason why he's playing defense right now.
02:56 He wants Zsanibeg to wear down just a little bit,
02:58 so that way he can start working.
02:59 But Zsanibeg is so good with his range,
03:04 so good with his range.
03:06 Takes a half a step back right there to land that left hand.
03:09 - Gualtieri trying to goad Alim Khan
03:15 as he's making a mistake.
03:17 As Zsanibeg misses with that long uppercut,
03:22 thinking he's Emmanuel Navarrete for a second.
03:25 Round one of this middleweight title unification
03:31 is in the books.

04:27 - Here's where legends are born,
04:29 and every match is a spectacle.
04:31 - Aces, Liberty.
04:32 - In our fighter meeting, Zsanibeg Alimhanala told us,
04:37 "You haven't seen the best Zsanibeg
04:39 "because I haven't seen the best opponent.
04:41 "None of my opponents have been on my level tonight."
04:45 Vincenzo Gualtieri wants to change that
04:48 in this unification bout,
04:49 as one of these two men will either go back to Kazakhstan
04:52 or Germany, holding two belts.
04:55 - Gualtieri right now, he's looking for an opportunity
05:03 to rush in, to get close, to close the gap right now.
05:06 Zsanibeg right now is holding his ground, using his jab,
05:09 using that up jab, trying to split the guard of Gualtieri.
05:12 - Saw the promo for October 28th,
05:16 the baddest man on the planet,
05:17 Tyson Fury or Francis Nganou.
05:20 One is a lineal heavyweight champion,
05:22 the other, the MMA champion at heavyweight.
05:26 Tonight, we're gonna find out who the baddest man
05:27 at 160 pounds is, Alimhanala or Gualtieri.
05:31 - Zsanibeg now is looking for that uppercut.
05:34 He's sitting on that back foot,
05:35 keeping his head back towards his back foot.
05:38 And he's looking to entice Gualtieri.
05:41 He wants him to get a little aggressive.
05:43 Gualtieri's not taking the bait.
05:44 He's taking his time.
05:46 (crowd chanting)
05:48 - Gualtieri understands his identity as a fighter here.
05:51 But that uppercut from Zsanibeg follows it up
05:54 with a left to the liver.
05:55 - But Gualtieri also threw an uppercut, a right uppercut,
05:58 right in between, just slipped past the head of Zsanibeg.
06:01 - He's gotta make Zsanibeg respect him,
06:06 because if not, he's gonna walk right through him.
06:09 - Well, what Zsanibeg can do is pick up his jab.
06:11 Both fighters can pick up their jab.
06:13 You know, that space in between,
06:14 there's not much going on.
06:16 Those are opportunities for you to win that battle,
06:19 to give your opponent something,
06:20 get him to worry about something.
06:21 Then that way you can lead on lane encounters like that.
06:24 See, flick jabs, flick jabs,
06:29 throw some bait out there.
06:30 You want him to try to commit and counter,
06:33 and just lay a trap for him.
06:35 - Nice body shot from Zsanibeg,
06:37 a straight to the solar plexus.
06:39 - That was nice right there.
06:40 I like that right hand.
06:42 And a quick forward shift by Guatieri
06:46 to get in the inside and land a few shots.
06:48 See, southpaw versus orthodox.
07:01 You know, a lot of times you hear about the left foot,
07:03 the left foot outside, the left foot outside,
07:05 lead foot dominance, yes.
07:07 And a lot of times you're gonna hear people that,
07:08 they say, "Don't move to your right."
07:10 You can move to your right when you have the proper space
07:12 or distance, there's not a problem.
07:14 You just can't move one way and be predictable.
07:17 You know, you can move both ways, but again,
07:19 it's all about having the right range, being outside.
07:22 - But you mentioned in your left, Jim,
07:26 as you see that double jab from Olimpanola,
07:29 how good the Kazakh fighter is at closing those gaps.
07:33 And that's the challenge that Guatieri is facing here
07:36 as round two comes to an end.
07:38 Top-ranked boxing on ESPN.

08:38 UFC 294, buy.
08:40 (crowd chanting)
08:43 - All right, when you get a southpaw
08:45 in an orthodox fighter, Tim,
08:46 you were explaining the importance of that lead foot
08:49 and Zhynebek's already using it to his advantage
08:52 here early in this fight.
08:53 - Yeah, but sometimes your feet get too close.
08:55 You step on the foot of your opponent.
08:56 Now, I don't know if that was purposely done right there
08:58 by Zhynebek, it was twice in a row right there,
09:00 but I would assume that it was probably done purposely.
09:05 - After the second and the third time?
09:07 - Yes, yes.
09:07 - I would think so, Tim.
09:09 - Yeah, keep your man still.
09:10 - Now, Gualtieri says, "Oh, I can do the same thing
09:13 with my big old size 12."
09:15 - But you know what happens though?
09:19 So, you step on the man's, on the fighter's shoe right there
09:22 as you keep seeing Zhynebek doing,
09:24 you see the referee's not paying attention to it.
09:26 Now, what happens is if Zhynebek hits him with a shot,
09:28 but it's not a clean shot and he goes down,
09:30 now that's unfair.
09:31 - That is.
09:32 - So, the referee has to pay attention to that.
09:35 (crowd cheering)
09:38 - There is no instant replay here.
09:42 - So, that was the counter count.
09:43 - So, Tim, that's interesting because it could happen
09:46 that it looks like a knockdown, but it actually isn't,
09:50 and it's counted as one, but Zhynebek finally lands
09:53 that left uppercut after doubling up the jab
09:56 as Brian Valoria, his new trainer,
09:58 asks him to do right before round three.
10:01 - Again, Zhynebek is staying patient,
10:03 but now what he's doing is he's countering the counter.
10:05 So, he's getting a flick jab out there,
10:07 flicking it out there, getting him to look at it,
10:09 and he knows that Guatieri's trying to counter,
10:12 and when he does counter, he makes a miss,
10:14 and then he comes right back with his offense.
10:17 So, a lot of back and forth right here from Zhynebek.
10:20 - You don't get to win 300 amateur fights
10:24 without having boxing skill,
10:26 and when you have power like Zhynebek shows there,
10:29 it gets overlooked.
10:30 - Yep.
10:33 - And right now he has Guatieri a little spooked.
10:37 He doesn't want to commit.
10:37 Guatieri usually will commit.
10:40 Zhynebek is too good at controlling the distance,
10:43 and he doesn't want to walk into anything,
10:45 but there's gonna come a time where Guatieri's
10:47 gonna have to sell out because he's losing these rounds,
10:49 and when he does sell out,
10:51 that's what Zhynebek is waiting on.
10:52 He's waiting on him to sell out and get overaggressive
10:55 so that way he can catch him with a kill shot.
10:58 - It's pick your poison against Zhynebek Alemhanalov.
11:01 Do you want to slowly be punished,
11:04 or do you just want to be sent home quickly?
11:07 - Yes, and right there,
11:10 Zhynebek was just catching him in the slip,
11:12 actually catching him changing positions,
11:14 going from the southpaw to the orthodox stance, squaring up,
11:17 and Zhynebek was waiting on that.
11:18 That is something that you work on in the gym,
11:20 and that was something that he alluded to
11:22 in the fighter meeting.
11:23 He said, "Oh yeah, when he's in this switch, he's not set.
11:25 "I'm gonna catch him."
11:27 - You see a little bit of swelling in it,
11:29 some bruising under the left eye of Vincenzo Gualtieri here
11:33 early in round three,
11:35 and it's that jab that's just doing damage.
11:38 It's a piston that Alemhanalov sticks out there.
11:42 It's not just a measuring jab.
11:43 (bell rings)
11:47 - Those new tiles are falling right into place.

12:41 - Aces, Liberty, we're all about the W...
12:48 - Back inside the Fort Bend Epicenter.
12:51 Zhanyebek Alemhanalov and Vincenzo Gualtieri
12:53 as we start round four.
12:54 Mark Kregel, your unofficial scorecard after three.
12:57 - I don't want to break too much news,
12:59 but I got a three rounds to none for Zhanyebek.
13:03 This might be an actually interesting fight,
13:05 but for one thing...
13:07 - Ooh, there's a nice combination.
13:09 - Yeah, we gotta throw some punches.
13:10 There he goes.
13:12 - Well, Alemhanalov's the one who landed
13:14 not only a left cross, but also a body shot.
13:18 So Alemhanalov, when Gualtieri tried to open up,
13:21 made him pay.
13:23 - Shoot, I mean, I thought that Jamel Charlo was bad.
13:28 My goodness, Alemhanalov,
13:31 what is up with these champions not coming to fight?
13:34 What is the problem?
13:35 - Come to fight.
13:37 - You think Gualtieri didn't come to fight, you mean?
13:40 - I mean, he's trying to be...
13:41 Right now, he's trying to survive.
13:42 He ain't fighting.
13:43 - Well, Zhanyebek's gonna say,
13:45 "I'm gonna make sure you don't finish this fight
13:48 "on your feet."
13:49 We knew Gualtieri does not have the punching power
13:52 and when you mentioned the fact
13:54 that you gotta throw your hands,
13:56 he's throwing 46 compared to 117.
13:59 For Zhanybek Alemhanalov, that's just not gonna cut it.
14:01 - What did I tell you?
14:02 I told you, somebody's fool's gold.
14:04 And right now, you know who's looking like fool's gold?
14:07 Right now?
14:08 Look, you can be a champion,
14:10 but that doesn't make you a great fighter.
14:12 You know, you can get lucky,
14:13 you can fight the right opponent,
14:14 they match you up right, you have a good day.
14:17 But then when you get in there, there's levels to this game.
14:20 That's what it is.
14:20 That's what Gualtieri's experiencing right now.
14:23 There's levels.
14:24 Zhanybek's are levels, is levels ahead of him.
14:27 Or above him, I should say.
14:29 - Gualtieri had 100 amateur fights, 172 of those.
14:38 Zhanybek, 307 losses to go with that.
14:43 So, you can see the difference in pedigree.
14:46 Nice jab from Alemhanalov,
14:49 who takes a left from Gualtieri.
14:51 And that should make him think,
14:54 "Look, I can hit Alemhanalov, so why not try it?"
14:59 - He don't want that counter.
15:00 Them shots are hard, Bernardo.
15:02 They're sharp, they're quick, they're accurate,
15:04 they're on the money.
15:06 And they sting.
15:07 See, that's the Cuban style right there.
15:11 That's what you're seeing from Gualtieri.
15:12 With those hands down, trying to be elusive,
15:14 trying to move his head.
15:15 But Zhanybek is timing it perfectly with his jab.
15:19 - Ooh, he hurt him with that shot.
15:21 - Zhanybek trying to find his range,
15:24 trying to find that moment to unleash on Gualtieri.
15:28 And we talk about Zhanybek making his punches count.
15:31 He usually lands 36% of his power punches.
15:35 Tonight, he's at 54%, and that is not a number
15:39 that El Capo Gualtieri wants Zhanybek Alemhanalov
15:43 to be around if he's gonna finish this fight on his feet.

16:48 - So all blazing.
16:50 - Yes, guys!
16:51 - In the corner of Vincenzo Gualtieri,
16:57 Frankie Saldama said, "You're getting hit unnecessarily
16:59 "because you're not listening to me.
17:01 "You need to faint."
17:03 And then on Zhanybek's corner,
17:05 Brian Valoria, in their first fight together,
17:07 says, "Stay the course.
17:08 "Don't allow him to get on track."
17:12 - Yeah, because the minute you give Gualtieri confidence,
17:15 the minute that's when he gets confident,
17:17 he starts letting his hands go,
17:18 he starts feeling himself a bit.
17:20 You know, you never wanna let a guy gain confidence
17:22 and fight his fight.
17:23 Zhanybek is fighting a disciplined fight right now,
17:25 but I wanna see, later on in the fight,
17:28 if he can step on the gas a little bit
17:29 and try to get Gualtieri up out of there.
17:31 Take a little bit more chances,
17:34 'cause Gualtieri's not a big, big puncher.
17:37 He's not a big puncher.
17:38 You can use defense, you can catch and shoot.
17:40 There's a lot of different things that you can do
17:43 to mount your attack.
17:45 - Alinkhanilov staying disciplined behind that stick.
17:47 That jab is causing trouble,
17:49 not only under the left eye of Gualtieri,
17:52 but there's also a slight scrape
17:55 on the bridge of the nose of Vincenzo Gualtieri.
17:59 There's that jab and that left cross from Alinkhanilov.
18:05 - This is brutal.
18:06 It is, this is brutal.
18:08 Like, you being a fighter in the ring,
18:10 you got two hands just like the other man,
18:12 and you can't lay a finger on him.
18:14 Demoralizing.
18:16 - Because when you take a risk,
18:19 Alinkhanilov makes you pay.
18:20 - Yes.
18:21 Brutal.
18:23 You just know that you're outskilled,
18:29 and ain't nothing you can do about it.
18:31 You just trying to buy your time and get through the fight.
18:35 - Yeah, but here with Gualtieri,
18:37 he understands he doesn't have
18:38 the punching power to neutralize.
18:40 Sometimes you can get beat a lot of rounds,
18:42 and you have that equalizer.
18:44 Gualtieri does not possess that in his arsenal.
18:47 - Yeah, you're right.
18:48 But I didn't have a whole lot of punching power either.
18:50 - Ooh, that uppercut hurts Gualtieri as he reels back.
18:54 Alinkhanilov is in finish the fight mode,
18:57 and that's exactly what he's trying to do
18:59 here in round number five.
19:01 But what a great recovery from Gualtieri.
19:05 Moved his feet, bought himself some time.
19:08 Trying to clear his head.
19:08 He was buzzed for a split second.
19:10 Gualtieri, he's in shape,
19:12 'cause he's recovered quickly right now,
19:13 but he's still not out of the woods.
19:15 Janabek looking to line him up again for a big shot.
19:18 Gualtieri finally.
19:21 See, Janabek gotta stay still.
19:23 What Janabek needs to do if he wants to get this,
19:26 he needs to stay in the pocket.
19:27 Stay in the pocket.
19:29 Weather the storm.
19:30 Look to punch in between the shots of Gualtieri,
19:32 because he gets wide with his punches.
19:35 - That uppercut is a damaging punch
19:38 from Janabek Alinkhanilov,
19:40 and so is that right hook to the body.
19:42 - Did you see that arm go down?
19:43 That elbow?
19:44 Tucked it real quick.
19:45 - Gualtieri earned himself another round here.
19:55 - Look at that thing.
19:56 Oh, goodness.
20:04 - The holidays are coming to the Home Depot,
20:07 with free delivery on over two million items.
20:09 - Aces, Liberty.
20:11 We're all about the WNBA finals.
20:13 - So cool, the acing.
20:16 - Yes, guys!
20:17 - Islam Akashev, Alexander Volkanovski.
20:21 The rematch.
20:22 - It will be war.
20:23 - So much.
20:24 (intense music)
20:27 - Aces, Liberty.
20:41 We're all about the WNBA.
20:43 - We're inside the Fort Bend Epicenter
20:48 here in Rosenburg, Texas.
20:49 So new that we can smell the paint,
20:51 but Janabek is denting the paint.
20:54 - Beautiful jab.
20:55 That's a pull.
20:56 That's a pull counter right there.
20:58 With that jab first, step back, boom.
21:00 Swept with the left hook, with the right hook.
21:02 Brought him right near that uppercut.
21:05 Beautiful shot.
21:06 That's beautiful stuff right there.
21:08 You know, those shots are not lucky shots.
21:09 Those shots are set up and planned
21:12 well before he actually lands them.
21:14 - Well, you've been talking about
21:15 Ali Muhammadullah setting up Gualtieri
21:17 since the first round, but he's paying it off here.
21:21 And in the corner, Brian Valoria was telling
21:23 Ali Muhammadullah, I need you to follow up
21:25 with that left hand.
21:27 He's there for it.
21:28 Just throw it.
21:29 - Well, what he said was, is that he's staying.
21:32 He's no longer moving.
21:33 He's staying there.
21:34 You know, he's shielding up, going into that high guard,
21:39 and you can split that guard with an uppercut
21:42 or a straight left hand.
21:44 - Or stick the jab triple time.
21:47 I was pretty impressed with Gualtieri
21:50 being able to recover from that left uppercut
21:52 because it looked like he was going down,
21:54 just like he's about to go down now.
21:56 He protects himself.
21:58 He almost took a knee.
22:00 - He's never been down, and he's never been stopped
22:04 in his entire career.
22:05 - Gualtieri.
22:07 - That may change tonight, but he's showing the will
22:09 that he said he had, but this is not the place
22:12 you want to be against John Abeck Ali Muhammadullah
22:15 as referee Fields is just about to step in.
22:19 - The next big shot that Ali Muhammadullah lands
22:22 on Gualtieri, I think David Fields will stop this fight.
22:26 The legs are buckled and no reason
22:28 to receive any more punishment as John Abeck Ali Muhammadullah
22:32 is the unified middleweight champion of the world,
22:36 taking the IBF belt from Vincenzo Gualtieri.
22:39 - What'd they say?
22:41 Light work, no reaction?
22:43 That was good work right there.
22:47 - I told you it was going to be easy.
22:49 I told you it was going to be easy.
22:51 John Abeck is the man.
22:53 He's the man in this division now.
22:54 Now he has two straps.
22:56 Now, would the rest of the division,
22:58 or I should say the belt holders,
23:01 want to face what they saw tonight?
23:03 - Well, Jermall Charlo saying yes.
23:06 No, he's got a fight coming up.
23:08 He's tied up.
23:10 How about the other champion, Ediz Landilata,
23:13 a slick mover, a southpaw himself.
23:15 - I would love to see that.
23:16 - That would be a style matchup.
23:18 - Yes.
23:19 - We saw what Denzel Bentley could do
23:21 against John Abeck Ali Muhammadullah.
23:23 That's the toughest fight so far,
23:25 but the power of John Abeck would be
23:28 a difference in that fight.
23:29 - Yes, it will be.
23:31 - You see the celebration from the
23:32 John Abeck Ali Muhammadullah fans.
23:34 Tim, let's walk through how Ali Muhammadullah
23:38 left tonight, not in the judges' hands, but in his own.
23:43 - Now, this is how you systematically
23:45 break down your opponent.
23:46 Ali Muhammadullah just took his time,
23:48 setting up his jab, using his feints,
23:51 just keeping Gualtieri on the end of his punch.
23:54 Setting traps like that, I mean,
23:56 he landed right there high on his head,
23:58 splitting that guard and hitting it high on his head.
23:59 And you saw the reaction.
24:01 It's beautiful work.
24:02 See, that jab that he's throwing,
24:04 he's throwing it up and in between the guards right there.
24:08 He's blinding them and he's coming in behind
24:10 with that straight left hand,
24:11 looping left hand right there, high on the head.
24:14 And you see Gualtieri ducking, you know,
24:16 the body language, just look at the body language.
24:18 He didn't want to beat it.
24:19 He didn't want to take any more punishment.
24:21 And I'm glad that the referee stepped in to stop the action
24:24 'cause it could have gotten real ugly.
24:25 - That was how it ended.
24:26 But Vincenzo Gualtieri took an uppercut
24:30 that almost put him down,
24:31 but it was the beginning of the end of this fight.
24:35 Let's take a look at that one, Tim.
24:36 - Let's see how he set it up.
24:38 Stepped in behind the jab and what?
24:42 There it is.
24:44 Left uppercut, perfectly timed, just a pull counter.
24:46 That's all it is.
24:47 Flick, jab, pull counter, caught him with the uppercut,
24:50 rushed right in.
24:51 Now the effect, double impact.
24:54 He's coming in, bringing his weight in,
24:56 and he's setting him up for that trap
24:58 with a loaded backhand uppercut.
25:00 - Double impact for Zhanivek Alimhanala.
25:03 We'll be back with the official time of the stoppage
25:06 and we'll speak with the new unified champion
25:10 in the middleweight division,
25:12 Zhanivek Alimhanala, right here from Texas.
