00:00 >> Let's go to the final
00:11 >> Our first fight of the
00:13 evening in the bantamweight
00:15 division, 118 pounds.
00:17 This is scheduled for eight
00:19 rounds.
00:20 Both fighters with very
00:22 different backgrounds.
00:23 But they're here on this big
00:25 stage, both wanting and needing
00:27 this win.
00:28 >> We're going to be looking
00:30 for a big advantage.
00:31 We're going to be looking for
00:33 a big advantage.
00:34 We're going to be looking for
00:36 a big advantage.
00:37 We're going to be looking for
00:39 a big advantage.
00:40 We're going to be looking for
00:42 a big advantage.
00:43 We're going to be looking for
00:45 a big advantage.
00:46 We're going to be looking for
00:48 a big advantage.
00:49 We're going to be looking for
00:51 a big advantage.
00:52 We're going to be looking for
00:54 a big advantage.
00:55 We're going to be looking for
00:57 a big advantage.
00:58 We're going to be looking for a
01:00 big advantage.
01:01 >> Good straight right hand for
01:03 Sultan.
01:04 Splits the guard of southpaw
01:06 Masuda.
01:07 >> Masuda listed at 5'6".
01:09 Sultan at 5'5".
01:10 You brought up the point there,
01:12 Chris.
01:13 The other interesting thing to
01:15 note in this fight, we do have
01:17 the southpaw versus orthodox
01:19 matchup.
01:20 We're going to have that a few
01:22 times tonight.
01:23 That always makes for a
01:25 great opportunity for the
01:27 southpaw to get a little bit of
01:29 a push.
01:30 >> Masuda has a deep amateur
01:32 background.
01:33 I'm sure he's fought plenty of
01:35 southpaws in his time in the
01:37 amateur ranks, especially
01:39 fighting internationally.
01:40 You're going to find a lot of
01:42 southpaws out there.
01:43 I'm sure he's no stranger to
01:45 fighting those lefties out
01:46 there.
01:47 >> Good straight left hand down
01:49 the middle for Masuda.
01:51 >> He went to the body there.
01:53 >> He's a great fighter.
01:55 We like to see that.
01:57 There's the straight left again.
01:59 It looks like he's having
02:01 success using the jab to set up
02:03 the straight left.
02:04 >> He's doing a great job
02:06 changing up his levels.
02:08 Going high, going low.
02:10 Jab down low.
02:11 Straight left hand up top.
02:13 Jab down low.
02:14 Very good job changing levels.
02:16 >> Is that the advice you would
02:18 give to the fighter with that
02:20 reach advantage?
02:21 >> I would say, you know,
02:23 you have to be able to get
02:25 that straight left and work the
02:27 jab and set up some power shots.
02:29 >> I'm surprised Masuda is being
02:31 as aggressive as he is.
02:33 Good body shot.
02:34 >> Big body shot lands for
02:36 Masuda.
02:37 We mentioned his aggressiveness.
02:39 It looks like it paid off in a
02:41 first-round knockdown.
02:42 Sultan visibly hurt.
02:43 And that's the end of the fight.
02:45 A first-round knockout win for
02:48 Rico Masuda.
02:49 He's going to get back into the
02:51 win column.
02:52 And he does so in spectacular
02:54 fashion here.
02:55 >> Wow, that was very
02:56 impressive.
02:57 We've been talking a lot about
02:58 Sultan and how he's come in and
03:00 been able to upset a lot of
03:02 people.
03:03 He's never been stopped.
03:04 And he just got stopped with a
03:06 body shot in the first round.
03:08 >> We were talking about the
03:10 importance of going to the body,
03:12 Chris.
03:13 That's one of the reasons you do
03:15 it.
03:16 If you catch your opponent in
03:18 the body, you're going to be
03:20 able to get him back.
03:21 I think that's a great sign for
03:23 a young fighter who's coming off
03:25 of a loss in Rico Masuda who
03:27 really needed to get his
03:28 confidence back.
03:29 >> He has a 100% knockout
03:30 percentage in his wins.
03:31 Yes, like you say, he's coming
03:32 off a loss.
03:33 But, man, he's back in a big
03:34 way, stopping a very tough
03:36 veteran with a body shot.
03:38 Straight left hand.
03:39 I mentioned the aggressiveness
03:41 of Masuda.
03:42 I was surprised that he came out
03:44 the way he did.
03:45 Normally it's Sultan who's the
03:47 one who's going to be in the
03:49 lead.
03:50 He's going to be the one who's
03:52 going to be in the lead.
03:54 He's going to be the one who's
03:56 going to be in the lead.
03:58 He's going to be the one who's
04:00 going to be in the lead.
04:02 He's going to be the one who's
04:04 going to be in the lead.
04:06 He's going to be the one who's
04:08 going to be in the lead.
04:10 He's going to be the one who's
04:12 going to be in the lead.
04:14 He's going to be the one who's
04:16 going to be in the lead.
04:18 >> And for Jonas, it's a
04:19 tough fight.
04:20 >> Yeah.
04:21 >> Rico Masuda needed a first
04:23 round knockout, get his young
04:25 career back on track.
