00:00 All right gentlemen your instructions are real simple you will listen for my
00:04 instructions you will obey my instructions at all times if I say
00:07 break or stop I expect you to stop punching and take a step backwards do
00:11 you understand me? Touch them up boys let's get into it.
00:14 First of our bouts ready to get underway and both of these fighters looking in
00:19 fantastic condition it is Fawcett on your screens and Setche that you can see
00:26 now he's the one in the Converse shoes just about ready to get started the
00:31 first of four bouts and we've got Fawcett and Setche now at center ring and
00:38 a nice right hand to start us off to from Jason Fawcett Ben Zaman and
00:42 commentary alongside former world champion Barry Michael and perhaps a
00:47 future world champion in Michael Zarapa plenty of action early on boys. Yes
00:52 certainly certainly Ben both boys opening up really fast here and both look as
00:57 though they've got good hands but really we've got a battle between two
01:00 undefeated fighters one with one fight and a draw and the other one four fights four wins.
01:05 A couple of nice shots there from Setche as well and it was Fawcett early on
01:10 who got through with a couple but Setche managed to find his range he does have
01:15 that reach advantage he likes to switch as well and now he takes a big shot
01:19 there from Fawcett. Big right hand but Setche switching he turned to south for
01:23 briefly and it was successful for him but he's gone back to the orthodox stance now.
01:27 How are you seeing it so far Michael? Yeah Fawcett's trying to show the dominance and landing with that right hand pretty early but it's punch a punch at the moment.
01:35 Good fight. First round good fight.
01:37 Plenty of action to start us off in the opening round of this one and Fawcett
01:42 he's had some success with that right hand Setche he seems intent on switching
01:48 his stances side to side then he takes that chopping right hand again from Fawcett.
01:53 Yeah that's a winner for him for Fawcett for sure he's got a great overhand right.
01:56 Oh lovely left grip from the body that had a lot of power in it.
02:02 Really nice shots from Fawcett he's walking forward throws to the body again with a right hand and tries to punch down but again Setche comes back
02:12 throws his uppercuts but a left hook from Fawcett got through as well.
02:15 There's a left hand as well from Setche. Setche's back in the southpaw stance thinks it's working for him but I tell you he's taken some big punches in there.
02:23 They're not warming up here they're straight into it. Fawcett goes one two the right hand got through the guard.
02:30 How are you seeing it Michael? Who do you think is in front this round so far?
02:35 It's a pretty tough first round but I think I've got Fawcett up on this one he's just finding a home for that right hand and his knee.
02:40 Just a defense on Setche. Good shots from both fighters. Jason Fawcett he's having a lot of success with his right hands and Setche takes a hook as well.
02:55 There's that right hand again from Fawcett. Setche just needs to get his hands up and get out of the way of some of these because he's having success but he's taking too many shots is Setche.
03:09 He certainly is taking some big shots too. Now they just tangle.
03:18 Setche should stick to boxing I think he's you know Fawcett's a bit strong for him and you know a heavier handed puncher.
03:25 The power seems to be with Jason Fawcett and he goes one two again. Setche comes back toughness from Setche but a good round from Fawcett.
03:39 Plenty of action to start us off the opening three minutes here in Sydney and live on Fox Sports and Jason Fawcett will sit down pretty happy with what he's done but gee there was some good moments as well from Setche as we have a listen to the Fawcett corner.
03:54 Every time we give him something where does he end up? Down there. Right if we can curl, land that backhand, put a left hook finish on it, start again. A really good round.
04:04 It's not like he's in that moment.
04:07 Take us through what we saw in the opening round boys.
04:10 Fawcett's just trying to walk forward and land that right hand and he's finding home for that right hand. I think Setche needs to get on his bike and use that distance and the jab and start boxing a little bit more because he's getting caught too much too early I feel.
04:21 Yeah true and also Fawcett's body struts were extremely powerful, very good body function as well.
04:26 Strong boy, he's trying to land those overhand. That's been successful for him.
04:30 So the first three minutes down and we did see plenty of action and I'm sure we will as we get into round two of six here between Fawcett and Setche. Good shot too from Fawcett.
04:44 Lovely left hook.
04:46 The right hand came out, the left hook followed it and rocked the head back of Setche who takes another right hand.
04:54 Tell you what, Setche's copped a lot of clean shots but he seems to take them well. Got a good chin.
05:01 Goes to the body well, good shots.
05:03 Big shots from Setche, good body punches.
05:05 Wound up with a right hand and a left hand, goes there again.
05:09 Wow, he's turned around.
05:10 And over the top as well.
05:13 Good variation from Isaiah Setche but Fawcett, he wears the shots, he comes forward again.
05:24 And jabbing to the body and now over the top is Setche.
05:27 And looking for his uppercut, the right hand from Fawcett came back and he goes one two as well and just walks forward does Jason Fawcett.
05:35 I tell you what, it's a quality fight. Very good technique by both boys.
05:39 The sun's gone low there from Setche and Sulos saw it straight away, pulled it up.
05:47 And we return to the battle and he seems, oh, the right hand from Fawcett got through again, straight over the top and Setche felt that.
05:57 He took a body shot too.
05:59 He's taken some big body shots but I tell you what, he fires back well and he's had a lot more success this round so far.
06:06 He's switching again and there he takes that, the right hand while he was in Southpaw and went straight back to Orthodox.
06:15 Would you rather see him Orthodox or Southpaw, Setche Michael?
06:19 Well, when he gets on the bike and he throws his body shots and he's finding home with that Southpaw stance but I mean he's just standing there
06:26 copping too much punishment from Fawcett. He needs to move a lot more and keep those hands up.
06:30 Yeah, he gets hit with that right hand all the time which is, you know, the best punch against the Southpaw.
06:37 Fawcett throwing the right hand straight down the middle when he switches.
06:40 So Setche's walking down now with his hands too low. He's going to get caught with that open hand.
06:44 Bit of a cut as well for Setche over his left eye and it is just trickling blood now around that eye.
06:53 So something extra to contend with here in round two as he takes some big shots again from Jason Fawcett
07:01 who responds with a counter right as Setche came forward. He's trying to work to the body and uppercuts as well as Setche
07:09 but the power, Barry, all seems to be with Fawcett.
07:13 Yeah, definitely the heavier puncher of the two but I tell you what, cracking fight coming up 15 seconds remaining in round two of six.
07:20 We've got a real war here.
07:25 Body shots, both fighters, Setche's success.
07:29 Turns him around, goes to the body, right hand from Fawcett.
07:32 They're both having their moments. I mean Fawcett I think is landing the majority of the heavier shots.
07:37 Beautiful right hand there but Setche's taking him well and firing back.
07:41 Oh that might be, didn't even feel it, did Setche.
07:49 And there is that bit of damage to Isaiah Setche and well it's not in a good spot but at the moment he'll be able to deal with that.
08:00 Yeah, that's not too bad.
08:05 I think this is where it came from.
08:11 Well it's already there but that certainly wouldn't have helped.
08:15 That right hand that got through straight above the eye.
08:20 Yeah, there's been a lot of beautiful right hands landed by Fawcett, really clean right hand.
08:28 As we have a look at the highlights, what would you be saying in the Setche corner?
08:33 What do you want to see different from him against the hard punching Jason Fawcett?
08:37 He's got to move a lot more, he's got to keep his hands up. He gets a little bit lazy after he lands.
08:41 He just lets his guard down and he gets caught and all his hard work goes to waste and it just happened just then now.
08:46 He needs to get on his bike and use that jab, use his reach.
08:49 Don't be there just to be hit. He gets all his success when he does this and that move, now he gets caught.
08:54 He got caught again.
08:55 Yeah, puts him together well though.
08:59 He can box, no doubt about that.
09:02 As you can see on your screens, Tim Zoot, Tony Harrison.
09:04 This Sunday the pay-per-view begins at midday Australian Eastern Daylight Time.
09:11 A huge night of boxing, a huge week of boxing.
09:14 Right now we're watching the very first fight of plenty that you'll see through the course of the week across Fox Sports and main events.
09:23 It's a good one too, here in round three between Fawcett and Setchey, who's having some better moments here in round three.
09:30 Yeah, he has quite a bit of success but he's just still taking those long straight rights and left hooks from Fawcett.
09:38 Fawcett happy to march forward and walk through some shots as he jabs away now.
09:48 Here goes again.
09:51 Just skidded by, plenty on the right hand and Setchey turns and goes to work.
09:56 He has a nice upper cut, he goes to the body too.
09:59 Both sides from Setchey.
10:03 Upper cut and another upper cut from Setchey.
10:07 That might be his shot.
10:08 I tell you what, they've both got a really good kit of punches.
10:11 You're seeing everything here.
10:14 Fawcett just sat down on it.
10:18 Takes a right hand back from Setchey.
10:20 Mate, he's got a great chin, Setchey. He wants a really big right hand, doesn't he?
10:24 He's just walking through him.
10:25 Both of them have done the phase by either one of their shots.
10:28 They've definitely got great chins.
10:30 Quality fight.
10:33 The right hands from Fawcett have been dominant.
10:37 And the kit of punches that Setchey has shown when he's had his moments has been exciting as he finds another for us.
10:45 An overhand right that gets away.
10:47 Big right hand from Fawcett as well.
10:51 All action here.
10:53 Round number three between Fawcett and Setchey.
11:00 Yeah, this fight could turn suddenly at the moment. I tell you what, they're both having their moments.
11:09 Jamping and trying to stay long at this stage is Fawcett who just ducks in.
11:15 And Setchey, the hands go down for a moment.
11:19 He stays here in orthodox and he takes some shots.
11:22 And there's another over the top with that left hand from Fawcett who misses with the right hand.
11:27 Setchey just looking to set something up here.
11:34 Oh, big shot Fawcett.
11:37 Counter shot Setchey.
11:39 Upper cut as well from Setchey.
11:41 Great action.
11:43 Wow.
11:44 Outstanding boxing and after the fights tonight, the premiere of Tim Zhu, Soul Taker.
11:52 Tim Zhu has another massive victory.
11:57 The old boy versus the young boy, but I'm the matador on this one. He's the young boy, I'm the matador.
12:01 You see.
12:03 How much Tim Zhu, whatever his name is.
12:06 Friday beat Tim Zhu, Saturday celebrate.
12:10 People don't realize when you fight someone like me, it could look different on the outside, but when you're actually in the inside with me, it's hell.
12:18 It's hell and it's not fun.
12:19 How much they got?
12:21 How much money they got?
12:22 My opponents know.
12:24 And 21 I've said something and 21 I've failed.
12:29 And that's coming up after the fights. Michael, we might watch that together. That'll be fun.
12:35 Yeah, it'll be an exciting fight. You know, it'll be good. Good to get around it.
12:39 All of Australian boxing will be tuning in this Sunday. Even Michael Zarapa to see Tim Zhu.
12:45 And Tony Harrison as Setchi comes out with a right hand, a good one too, over the top of the jab from Fawcett to start round number four.
12:54 You told us what you want to see from Setchi. What about Fawcett?
13:06 Well, Fawcett is doing what he's doing.
13:09 You know, his defense is getting caught a little bit like Setchi as well. After he does land, he sits there and gets a bit lazy and gets caught with something that gets fired back.
13:17 You know, after he throws and lands, he should get on the bike and move a little bit.
13:19 Setchi combination punch from Setchi.
13:21 Unbelievable. Great combo.
13:23 Went to the body, came through with an upper cut, found something over the top as well.
13:28 And he's starting to find his rhythm, his Setchi, but the power remains with Fawcett.
13:33 Setchi's taken a lot of big shots, but he's worn them so well and he's firing back better.
13:39 Oh, there's that right hand again.
13:43 Beautiful right hand and again from Fawcett.
13:45 Spot on.
13:47 And a jab to the body from Setchi.
13:56 Good scoring punch. Good stiff jab to the body.
13:59 Should have followed it with the right hand over the top. He's looking for it.
14:03 There it is.
14:05 Counter shot there from Setchi as well.
14:07 I mentioned...
14:09 Slip and grip and hook. Beautiful.
14:11 Great boxing.
14:13 Setchi just has to get to the body. He's had some success there as the right hand comes back from Fawcett.
14:21 I mentioned Sam Goodman earlier and he's a training partner of Jason Fawcett.
14:27 They went on that trip together to the US where Fawcett was so impressive in some of the American gyms.
14:32 He'll be fighting this Sunday, of course, Will Goodman against TJ Doheny.
14:37 A really good fight that you'll see as part of the pay-per-view on Sunday.
14:41 And he's here at the venue watching his training partner in action in a really good fight here.
14:46 Round 4 of Fawcett vs. Setchi.
14:49 And just starting to breathe a little heavier is Isaiah Setchi.
14:53 And fair enough too with the pace they've been going.
14:56 Yeah, it's been a hell of a pace.
14:58 Both fighters have taken lots of clean shots and both are doing extremely well.
15:03 Marginally low that one.
15:06 Perhaps from Fawcett.
15:09 Big body shot there.
15:13 Round 4 of 6, 25 seconds remaining.
15:24 Big body now, Setchi. Right hand misses from Fawcett.
15:28 More punches from Setchi at the moment.
15:31 Up and down. Nice right to body.
15:34 Good shot there from Fawcett.
15:35 There's that right hand again.
15:37 Uppercut, Setchi.
15:42 Hooks as well to Setchi.
15:44 Nice and tight on the inside with a left hook from Setchi.
15:48 Jabbing to the chest there, Fawcett, to end the round.
15:53 Good competitive stuff.
15:55 Certainly the opening bout of the night.
15:58 Both fighters are fatigued at this point.
16:20 That right hand has been the punch for Jason Fawcett.
16:23 It certainly has, but I'll tell you what, there it is again too.
16:26 But he's also good with that left hook following up.
16:28 Look at that beautiful right hand.
16:30 And again, look at that, flush on the chin.
16:33 Both breathing deeply here as we get deeper into this fight.
16:38 You can order the pay-per-view for Sunday now.
16:40 Tim Zut, Sony Harrison, there's the QR code.
16:49 Box!
16:50 And they continue, round 5 of 6.
16:54 Fawcett and Setchi.
16:56 He is impressed, as Isaiah Setchi, with the variety of shots.
17:03 But then he takes those shots from Fawcett again.
17:07 Yeah, you've got to wonder how the judge is seeing this,
17:09 because both fighters are having good, really good moments every round.
17:13 Oh, look at that right hand.
17:15 The right hand's got to have him in front.
17:16 He's landed so many good clean right hands.
17:19 Fawcett.
17:20 Right hand from Setchi, came back big.
17:22 Right hand again from Fawcett.
17:24 Setchi went with it.
17:25 And we're seeing good action here.
17:33 Next up, we see Kane Clark and Hunter Awani.
17:35 Then we go to heavyweight, and it's Liam Talibata and Michael Seckor.
17:40 And then the main event of the evening, it is Brock Jarvis and Marlon Padiamogan
17:45 as the right hand of Fawcett just shudders through again.
17:50 And he is looking to score with that big.
17:57 Yeah, Setchi doesn't stop working, though.
18:03 He's always doing something.
18:04 But he gets caught.
18:05 He lands a shot, then he gets caught.
18:07 And again, Setchi throws a couple of good shots,
18:10 catches Fawcett off balance, and now he goes to the body as well.
18:15 My guy!
18:16 There you go.
18:18 Uppercut misses. He punches down with his left hand.
18:20 He's sitting now in Southpaw again as the body shot comes out from Fawcett.
18:25 Beautiful body shot.
18:27 Don't hold in there. Don't hold on tight.
18:29 You can hear the power in him.
18:30 He's got it against the body when he's sitting here at ringside.
18:33 Break! Break!
18:36 Leaning in is Fawcett.
18:39 Both of these fighters are fatigued,
18:42 but Fawcett produces big shots from somewhere.
18:46 Takes a right hand, too.
18:48 Blood now trickling out of that cut that we saw.
18:54 Yeah, I don't think it's going to bother him too much.
18:57 He's not bleeding into the eye, so it's not obscuring his vision.
19:00 But look, he's right there in front of his opponent,
19:03 you know, open for Fawcett's right hand.
19:06 Oh, heads clash.
19:08 Yeah, the heads came together.
19:10 And Paul Sulos does warn for that.
19:14 And Sechi just starts to try and wipe that blood away
19:18 as he scores with a good shot.
19:20 And he goes forward again. Fawcett with good shots.
19:23 Sechi in uppercut. Fawcett now forces him back to the ropes
19:27 and will try and work from there.
19:28 Sechi takes the opportunity to have a breather.
19:32 15 seconds.
19:33 That worked so hard.
19:34 Incredibly great pace, Ben.
19:37 Coming up 10 seconds, remaining round five.
19:40 Coming up to the sixth and final round of a real quality war here.
19:45 And hooking away is Fawcett again.
19:49 And finishing with a big right hand.
19:52 Sechi, he finds an uppercut to end the round.
19:55 Wow.
19:56 Good competitive fight.
19:58 Very.
19:59 Who do you think is scoring wise?
20:03 Michael, as you have a look at this,
20:04 who do you feel is in front heading into this final round?
20:07 I definitely hate to be a judge, but I've got to back Fawcett.
20:09 Only up by one, maybe.
20:10 But every time he lands a good shot,
20:12 Sechi comes back with one or two of his own.
20:15 So he evens it out a little bit.
20:16 They've just got to have a bit more tight defense.
20:18 Like I said, when they land, they've got to move.
20:20 This is where it all counts.
20:22 All your hard work you put in, this is where it all counts now.
20:24 This is where I need you to be.
20:26 Discipline. Makes sense?
20:28 Take control.
20:29 Take control of that center and put him on the back foot.
20:32 You've got this now. It's all hard now here, brother.
20:35 You've got it. You've got it.
20:37 You've got it. You've got second phase stuff.
20:39 You're touching him, backing up, you're catching him.
20:41 The second phase, you're catching him.
20:42 It's all you now.
20:43 So they get Touch Gloves into Isaiah Sechi in the corner.
20:52 And try and pump him up for three more minutes
20:56 against Jason Fawcett,
20:58 who has continuously come forward and thrown big shots.
21:01 There you go.
21:02 Chasing again is Fawcett.
21:08 Don't hold. Break. Break. Step back.
21:11 Throws a couple of shots over the top.
21:13 Back off. Back off, Isaiah.
21:15 Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.
21:17 This is a good fight. The final round of it.
21:23 There has been all action all the time.
21:25 Yeah. I wonder how the judges have got it.
21:28 You could see different scores different ways here.
21:30 It's been relatively even all the way through.
21:33 You said Michael probably forced it,
21:36 landing a cleaner majority of the big shots.
21:39 But Sechi having a lot of success as well.
21:42 Turns that one around, does Sechi, and Fawcett.
21:47 Just jabs away.
21:49 Uppercut from Sechi. He gets through with another shot.
21:56 Fawcett can't find him there, and he does there.
21:59 Now he comes forward. Sechi in this corner.
22:02 Right above us.
22:03 Break, fellas.
22:05 Just having to hang on there is Fawcett.
22:08 Just for a moment, Sechi takes a shot again,
22:13 and Fawcett burrows in and tries to follow up.
22:17 Jabbing is Isaiah Sechi.
22:20 Uppercut. Lovely. Gets through as well.
22:23 Halfway through the sixth and final round.
22:25 Who's going to get the points here?
22:27 Looks like it's going to the line.
22:30 Chasing and following with his left hand there is Fawcett.
22:35 A good shot. Right hand, lovely left hook follow-up.
22:39 And it is Sechi now in Southport.
22:49 Now switching back. A beautiful uppercut from Sechi.
22:52 And he follows up as well with his left hand.
22:54 Fawcett looks for his right hand. Can't quite find him.
22:57 Comes forward again inside the final minute of the fight.
23:00 Beautiful left hook it is from Fawcett.
23:02 Lovely left hook. And again.
23:05 Scored cleanly again, but as has been the case throughout this fight,
23:09 Sechi hardly even acknowledges the big shot.
23:14 He's taken some bumps, and he hasn't looked like being hurt really.
23:17 I think his face got caught again there.
23:19 Good shots these from Fawcett.
23:21 Picking his shots nicely. Rocking the head back of Sechi.
23:25 30 seconds to go in the sixth and final round.
23:28 Lovely right hand from Fawcett again.
23:31 And again. Good stuff again from Fawcett.
23:33 Again a beautiful left hook that got through from Fawcett.
23:36 Sechi fires back with his own right.
23:38 Firing back off the ropes under pressure here in his own corner.
23:42 Step back. Step back.
23:44 And we get towards the final bell.
23:48 And a really exciting six round war between Fawcett and Sechi
23:55 who trade to the bell.
23:57 And standing stack.
23:59 The starters off here in Sydney.
24:01 What a fight. Yeah, I wouldn't have been folded back over the draw.
24:03 That was an absolute balter. That was a cracker.
24:07 Both fighters absolutely exhausted and why not?
24:10 Because they have thrown absolutely everything at each other
24:16 in those six rounds.
24:19 A really well matched fight as well.
24:21 We had the power shots of Fawcett
24:24 who was looking to set up his right hand off the jab
24:27 and Isaiah Sechi who threw every shot in the book.
24:35 Really good stuff.
24:38 And these are the highlights of the full fight.
24:41 Boys, take us through what we saw.
24:43 It was a really good fight.
24:44 That right hand of Jason Fawcett I think was the major winner of this fight.
24:50 Sechi fought back with beautiful combos and good body shots.
24:54 But I just think for the judges, look it could even be a draw
24:58 but I would probably lean a little bit towards Jason Fawcett.
25:01 But a very close fight indeed.
25:03 What do you think Michael?
25:04 I would have to agree with you Barry.
25:05 I think he just found a little bit more home with that right hand
25:08 and just pushed the pace up a little bit more.
25:10 But I tell you what, Sechi's chin and his heart
25:13 could have evened it out to be a draw.
25:16 Yeah, look, it could easily be a draw but a great fight at the opening.
25:21 What do you reckon Ben, how do you see it?
25:24 Well yeah, it was the big shots from Fawcett
25:27 but the kit of punches from Sechi.
25:29 So I think maybe we see Jason Fawcett get the decision
25:34 but I would not be surprised if it was close either way.
25:39 It was a really, really strong fight.
25:41 Great stuff to start us off.
25:43 A six round up at 69 kilos.
25:47 Next up it will be Cain Clarke and Hunter Awani.
