00:00 Ladies, this is a 5 by 2 minute bout.
00:03 Protect yourselves at all times.
00:04 Fight strong, fight fair.
00:06 Any questions?
00:07 Touch gloves, back to you, Paul.
00:10 The third of our bouts between Angel Rushton and Jala Tomat.
00:17 About to get underway.
00:18 The third bout too, refereed by Leanne Reid.
00:22 So she has her hands full.
00:25 Our referee this evening as they meet at centre ring and there was intensity from the walkout
00:32 from Rushton.
00:33 Can she continue that as the action begins?
00:35 Well, yes, it appears so.
00:37 This is going to be a great fight.
00:42 Rushton has improved each time we've seen her and she works with power there against
00:48 Tomat who marches forward and tries to pick her off on the way in.
00:53 But a lot of switching from Rushton and some really familiar things that we see from Glenn
01:05 Rushton's pupils as well.
01:10 She just faints away and then gets in.
01:17 Good intensity early on from Angel Rushton.
01:21 Yes, definitely so.
01:22 She's a girl like you said, who's improved so much, Ben.
01:27 I think she's getting better and better.
01:29 Her opponent today is very, very experienced and can fight.
01:33 At the moment, Rushton's doing everything right.
01:36 What a beautiful right hand.
01:37 She's doing everything right at the moment.
01:38 Perfect right hand it was from Rushton.
01:40 A really good shot.
01:43 And Tomat just trying to work out what's in front of her because it's moving everywhere.
01:49 That's exactly right.
01:52 Just gets to where she wants to get her.
01:54 Rushton just moves and throws a body punch first.
01:56 She throws a straight punch to the body and then comes over the top.
02:02 We're seeing all that stuttering and stepping that we grew so familiar with with Jeff Horn
02:08 in Rushton.
02:12 And she's just trying to be explosive off the back of it.
02:15 So far, so good.
02:20 A furious start from Rushton.
02:28 Tomat just trying to work her out as we get into the Glenn Rushton, Angel Rushton corner.
02:34 Just make sure you're nice all the time in there.
02:40 Keep working hard, nice and intense and keep exiting well off that center line.
02:44 Apart from that, bring it easy, easy round.
02:46 Nice deep breaths.
02:47 Just give me another good round like that.
02:50 Just pace yourself well.
02:51 So well done.
02:52 You want any more?
02:53 Yes please.
02:54 Okay, so easy.
02:55 Just no ropes.
02:56 No ropes.
02:57 Stay off those ropes.
02:58 Straight right is working well.
02:59 Yeah, beautiful.
03:00 You're going really well.
03:01 Keep those entries as I said.
03:02 Just get the exits good every time and nice and intense.
03:04 Just keep them going like that.
03:05 Well done.
03:06 Brilliant.
03:07 Doesn't need the full minute, Glenn Rushton.
03:08 He's very happy with the opening round there from Angel Rushton and he can understand why.
03:18 Well, yeah, he should be.
03:19 I think she's had a perfect first round.
03:21 Her movement is just totally confusing the opponent.
03:24 What do you want to see from Jala Tomat, Kate?
03:29 I'd like to see Jala popping her jab out a little bit more, adding some feints, a bit
03:33 more head movement.
03:34 The one thing that I love about Rushton is she can box and she can brawl and she always
03:41 puts on a great show.
03:42 So it's going to be a good fight and they're just getting started, Ben.
03:47 Yeah, she's doing a bit of both at the moment is Rushton.
03:50 She's happy to stay in this sort of position and throw her shots, but she's just as happy
03:55 to get in there and do some work as well as Tomat just tries to find her with that jab
04:01 and she just can't.
04:02 Yeah, well Tomat knows that she lost that first round.
04:03 She has to change things around in the second round and she's trying really hard.
04:07 She's putting more pressure on Rushton, not letting him move as much and trying to get
04:11 on the ropes where her father told her not to stay.
04:15 Tomat just setting her feet a little bit and trying to find the target, but Rushton just
04:21 won't let her sit.
04:22 Won't let her be in the position she wants to be.
04:26 And here goes Tomat throwing some shots, but again, Rushton just wheels around to her right.
04:32 She's out of trouble.
04:33 I like how Rushton switches there.
04:34 Tomat again tried to work with Rushton in a corner, but Rushton covered up and held
04:46 on.
04:47 Yeah, for a girl with so few fights, Rushton's showing a lot of experience here in the holding
04:51 area.
04:52 Yeah, landed a beautiful right hand again there.
04:55 She's constantly switching, constantly moving and throwing with power as well.
05:01 Angel Rushton and another good right hand.
05:04 20 seconds left here in round number two.
05:13 Rushton was telling her father how the right hand has been landing and it's continued to
05:17 do it in this round as well.
05:18 She's landed a couple of nice right hands.
05:26 Second round down and they head to the corners again and we'll hear from Glenn Rushton and
05:33 I'd imagine he's pleased again.
05:35 You've got to pull the trigger, don't lose any ring control.
05:38 Okay?
05:39 So just hold the good work, right?
05:40 And keep up and down, side to side, intense in, hard to hit.
05:45 Keep right off those ropes.
05:46 You get close and you pull that trigger.
05:47 Okay?
05:48 Just keep getting those entries and exits and nice and intense up and down, left, right,
05:49 in and out.
05:50 Do that and you just keep winning the rounds.
05:51 But you must hold the work right because she's trying to attack more now.
05:52 So look for those snapbacks.
05:53 Full snapbacks.
05:54 Let's have a look at a couple of those because there were some good right hands from Angel
06:08 Rushton and Kate, she knows that's her punch.
06:12 Oh yeah, absolutely.
06:13 Just as her father says, boom and that right hand.
06:16 That's exactly what she did.
06:19 Round number three coming up here between Rushton and Tomat.
06:23 A couple of strong rounds to start us off from Angel Rushton.
06:29 Tomat, she stepped it up in that previous round, but Jeff, what does she need to do
06:36 here?
06:37 Well, she needs to land punches, Ben.
06:38 She's not landing.
06:39 And the reason why she's not is Rushton, as soon as they get in anywhere of a range where
06:44 she can punch, Rushton's holding it.
06:46 She's doing a great job on it.
06:49 She looks like a seasoned pro at holding and knowing what to do.
06:52 There's a good shot from Tomat, but Rushton came straight back with the right hand.
07:02 Yeah.
07:03 Best punch of the fight so far from Tomat, but she got one straight back.
07:14 And what a more feinting in the previous fight.
07:16 Well, Angel Rushton is giving us plenty here.
07:19 Her work rate is unbelievable.
07:21 She's super, super fit.
07:22 The way she moves.
07:23 Working on the inside is Rushton.
07:24 Tomat tried to find her.
07:25 And you can see the damage on the left eye of Nomad from the constant landing of the
07:34 right hand from Rushton.
07:35 Tomat with some swelling around that left eye.
07:41 Here's a good shot.
07:42 That was a great shot.
07:43 So the corner of Tomat saying, let her launch and kick her off.
07:56 So she tries, but she's straight towards again.
08:02 She really is Rushton just throwing punches in bunches.
08:05 It's never just one punch on her.
08:07 She's throwing a minimum of two, three punches every time she comes in and puts the pressure
08:14 on.
08:15 Working now.
08:16 Tomat got a punch through, but Rushton fired back and they tangled again.
08:20 Well, they don't tangle, Ben.
08:23 Rushton just holds them when she holds them right at the right time.
08:27 Let's go to Charmaine Nifsen.
08:35 I'm here with Ella Vu, the super lightweight champion for Australia.
08:38 Ella, how does it feel to defend your title on an all-female Cardiff's co-main event?
08:43 It's an honor to be here, honestly.
08:45 I'm so excited.
08:46 The energy in the room is just amazing.
08:48 I'm just so grateful to be here.
08:50 Can you talk us through your personality?
08:51 Because through the week, it's been no bad beef between you and your opponent at all.
08:57 How do you switch that into your bubbly, normal personality until when you get in the ring?
09:01 Because when you get in the ring, that changes things.
09:02 Is that anything to do with your trainer, Johnny Lewis, or how do you go about that?
09:06 I think I obviously respect my opponents, but when it comes down to it, I really want
09:11 that win and I'm going to do anything it takes to get there.
09:14 So, yeah, I'll do that.
09:16 I just switch and that's what it is.
09:18 Good luck in defending your title.
09:21 Thank you very much.
09:24 Ella Vu, she doesn't seem like a boxer, but I tell you, when she steps through the ropes,
09:31 something completely changes and she has brutality as well as pure class.
09:36 And we'll see that very, very shortly as she attempts to defend her Australian title.
09:42 Oh, a wonderful jab there from Tomat.
09:45 That's better.
09:46 She needs a lot of that though.
09:49 Because Angel Rushton is showing no signs of slowing down as she fires out the right
09:56 hand.
09:57 Left hand from Tomat got through.
09:58 Now she gets in a good position, but again, Rushton just hangs on and ties her up.
10:06 This is better from Tomat.
10:10 Yeah, she's increased the energy levels now.
10:13 She needs to throw from this position though and it's instead Rushton who does and then
10:22 moves.
10:23 Tomat's got to cut the ring off.
10:24 She's just following around, Ben.
10:25 She's following around, making it easy for Rushton to clear those punches.
10:30 Right hand from Rushton and she turns her left hand around as well.
10:40 And then Rushton happy to hang on again.
10:43 She's so strong, Rushton.
10:45 And fit.
10:46 Look at the movement, just constantly using the ring.
10:51 Tomat.
10:52 And she thought she had her opportunity there, but again, Rushton just grabs on and then
11:00 she leads with that right hand, turns her jab around as well as she switched stances,
11:05 Angel Rushton.
11:06 Here goes Tomat.
11:07 If she worked from this position, that's a good little left hand.
11:08 Better stuff at stages in this round and another left hand from Tomat towards the end of the
11:30 round.
11:31 And she's got a good lead there.
11:32 And she's got a good lead.

14:07 And she's got a good lead.
14:08 And she's got a good lead.
14:10 [INAUDIBLE]
14:11 Tomat digging deep and trying to find something big.
14:16 But Ruston is just continuing to throw with power.
14:20 Under and over there by Ruston, two beautiful punches.
14:24 Oh, and she leaps out.
14:26 Tomat with a shot.
14:27 Ruston comes back.
14:29 What a fight.
14:30 What a great fight.
14:32 And they embrace as we go the distance.
14:36 Both had success.
14:38 But Angel Ruston, she just continues
14:41 to improve a really impressive performance.
14:44 She switched throughout.
14:49 She worked hard.
14:50 And she scored with big right hands.
14:52 And you'd think she's done enough
14:57 to win this fight against the very tough Jala Tomat
15:01 as we look at the highlights.
15:04 And there was some--
15:05 Punch it.
15:06 Yeah, there were some highlights, Ben.
15:07 She was switching from orthodox to southpaw,
15:09 landing with left hooks, then right hooks.
15:11 What she'd done was amazing.
15:12 Angel Ruston, we've seen her in a number of fights.
15:21 But she just continues to improve.
15:24 And clearly, she's dedicating herself.
15:27 And she's boxing really strongly.
15:29 And she must be so fit, Jeff, to keep that up.
15:32 I was just about to say that, Ben.
15:34 You can see that she's worked very, very hard in the gym.
15:36 She's fit.
15:37 She's a great listener.
15:38 Her dad gave her some great advice.
15:40 And then she took it.
15:41 And then, like I said, it was a very comfortable victory
15:44 for her against a very good opponent.
15:47 Jala Tomat is a quality opponent.
15:49 And she did really well at times and came on later in the fight.
15:53 She had her best success towards the end of this one.
15:58 But it's a difficult target, Angel Ruston,
16:01 in this sort of mood and with this sort of energy.
16:04 And next up, we will be seeing the Australian super lightweight title
16:09 fight between the undefeated Ella Boots and Annie Thatcher.
16:14 And then it is our main event, the Australian super welterweight
16:18 title bout between Millie Agbo-Bullen and the challenger Taylor Harris.
16:24 So that is all still to come here on Fox Sports.
16:27 But first of all, we have to find out our winner,
16:30 according to the judges, with Lieutenant Dan Hennison.
16:34 Fighters to the center ring, please.
16:38 Ladies and gentlemen, can we please have a round of applause
16:41 for these two super featherweight warriors?
16:47 After five rounds of action, we go to the judges' scorecards for decision.
16:51 Judge William Solis scores the competition 49-46,
16:55 Leslie Feer 48-47, and Christopher Allende 48-47.
17:01 For your winner by unanimous decision,
17:03 fighting out of the blue corner, Angel "The Alchemist" Ruston.
17:10 [applause]
17:13 (upbeat music)
17:15 - I'm not saying it's right.
