00:00 [Music]
00:02 Okay gentlemen, you both have the instructions in the dressing room so you know what's expected.
00:06 Keep your punches up, a bane might come out, you can set yourselves at all times.
00:09 You've got two votes, Jones, touch this.
00:11 [Crowd chanting]
00:19 I know it's a bank holiday weekend, I know that it's a four day weekend for a lot of people.
00:26 So actually people travelling down is to be expected but what an early atmosphere in here at Mount Mackley.
00:32 Those Barnsley fans really, really making themselves heard and it just sort of rolls out the red carpet
00:39 for him to get this done, Callum Simpson, and get back up to Barnsley and set up a homecoming.
00:43 Yeah, he's had a really exciting stage in his career, you know, he's on a roll, building good momentum.
00:49 He's due a title shot again for the British title but he's got a, he's on a big card here
00:55 can't afford any slip ups, he's got to stay switched on, be sharp and get the job done.
01:01 Yeah, he's already found a home for the long straight right hand but as expected,
01:06 Dullat and Barmet, he launches into everything, just got to be careful, Callum Simpson, keep that chin down.
01:14 [Crowd chanting]
01:18 Those of you that follow domestic boxing, you will have seen Dullat and Barmet before but not as you know him tonight.
01:23 Boxing under his alias of Abdallah Paziwapazi.
01:27 He was knocked out by Rocky Fielding in a couple of rounds but he was a real live challenger in that fight
01:32 and he fought exactly like this. Rocky Fielding put him away with a brilliant combination but
01:38 it was bells and whistles and everything. This is some start from Mbabe and Callum Simpson, he's fired up
01:45 and if he hadn't done his research and he's found out pretty quickly that Mbabe is here to try and wreck
01:52 that Zach Chele fight. Nice clipping left hand from Simpson.
01:56 Yeah, he wants to start sharp, he wants to put Mbabe in his place but he doesn't want to get too reckless either.
02:02 He's got to kind of collect his own defenses and has to be aware of the shots that are coming back at him.
02:08 So, yeah, good start from Simpson. He's establishing his jab, he's nice uppercut there as well from him.
02:14 Yeah, he's certainly settled after those first sort of 30 seconds where both fighters were going hell for leather.
02:21 Just got behind a nice basic one-two there Simpson and found a home for the right hand.
02:26 Both fighters in black, Simpson in the black and gold, Mbabe in the black and white.
02:31 We mentioned in the intros, he switches and throws punches from unorthodox angles.
02:37 Simpson just finds him at the end of the right hand there but he's distanced right there Simpson.
02:49 My eyes have just caught sight of the champion on the horizon, Zach Chele, watching on.
02:55 Both look to land body shots. I think it was Simpsons that was a better shot and then he just goes through the gears with a nice eye-catching combination.
03:07 Mbabe, he rides some of those punches. He's got a nice high guard. The crowd are up but I don't think any of those particularly landed.
03:14 Just smothering his work a little bit here Simpson. He's landed some good shots and then falling in on top of himself and smothering his own work.
03:26 He just needs to get a bit of room.
03:28 Good first round from Callum Simpson.
03:40 [Crowd cheering]
03:47 Well there is Zach Chele, all smiles and why not?
03:52 His career is in a rich vein. He deserved the win for the titles and now he's got them.
04:00 You would think his confidence is sky high. I think he's been a little bit put out by the sort of hype around Callum Simpson and why not?
04:07 Chele is the champion. But that is a fight we would like to see.
04:10 Yeah, with that I think Chele, you've got to look at his career and admire. He's took challenges and always comes with a lot of intensity, a lot of self-belief.
04:21 And I think he'll relish that challenge from Simpson.
04:25 Yeah, and if it has to be hostile territory up in Barnsley, just knowing the character make-up of Zach Chele, I would have thought he'll absolutely be delighted.
04:36 To go up there in a hostile crowd. Back to this one.
04:40 You couldn't really blink with this because both fighters put in a lot behind those early exchanges.
04:46 Particularly Simpson who threw a couple of meaty right hands towards the end.
04:50 But Mbabe at the moment he's boxing out the orthodox stance.
04:53 He immediately switches to Southboy in the blink of an eye.
04:57 You have to have your smarts about yourself because you don't quite know what he's going to do.
05:02 Yeah, Simpson in the first round when he was throwing the one-two and then like a screw shot left hook.
05:07 His right hand was coming a bit low and was kind of open for the left hook counters.
05:10 And at the start of this round Mbabe's thrown a few good left hooks.
05:13 So he needs to tie it up defensively Simpson. Watch out for that.
05:18 That's good. Nice jab from Simpson.
05:20 Yeah, just clips Mbabe who was just trying to creep into range himself.
05:25 He's got long levers, Callum Simpson.
05:27 He'd do well to use them but then when he does close distance like that, it's eye catching work from the Barnesy super middleweight.
05:32 That's a really good left hook to the body.
05:39 Snuck in there from Simpson. This is good work.
05:42 Good right hand followed by a left hook by Simpson.
05:50 He's certainly settled a little bit more you feel in this second round.
05:56 He's using his jab more in the second round here Simpson.
05:59 Those right hooks to body, right hook to the head combination.
06:03 Working well for him.
06:05 Yeah, you would feel were only in the second round but those sort of body shots will pay dividends for Simpson.
06:12 There was a good right hand in there as well which he didn't throw straight.
06:17 It wasn't quite a screw shot. It was like a long uppercut almost.
06:21 Mbabe though taking these shots well for the moment.
06:26 He's only 30, Dulet Mbabe but this is fight number 50.
06:37 There's something to be said for activity as a pro.
06:40 He's boxed all over and fair play to him to get to 50 already.
06:44 With a good record as well.
06:47 34 of those have been wins. 29 of those 34 wins inside the distance as we said.
06:53 He can punch a bit. You can see he does look heavy handed.
06:56 Do you feel that maybe Simpson has just got his range here?
07:08 Yeah, it looks like it.
07:10 I think he's got to use the jab a bit more though I think Simpson.
07:15 Just set the attacks off. Don't look for the lead off with the big shots.
07:19 Get the jab there first. Punch your combinations and then finish the combination on the heavy shot.
07:24 Good body shot.
07:26 Yeah, not for the first time the body shot was a good one from Simpson.
07:29 Good end to the round for the Barnsley prospect.
07:33 Good eye catching work from Simpson.
07:38 [Crowd cheering]
07:43 [Whoosh]
07:45 Welcome back.
07:49 That was a really impressive round from Callum Simpson who settled down to his work quite nicely.
07:53 Yeah, landing a nice array of shots.
07:55 [Bell rings]
07:57 Used his jab more. More of the same now in this round.
08:00 Just a little bit of confusion in the Tanzanian corner.
08:04 The gumshield couldn't be located. Now it is. We're ready to go.
08:07 [Crowd cheering]
08:12 [Whoosh]
08:14 Good jab to start the round from Callum Simpson.
08:17 [Crowd cheering]
08:25 He's really made a name for himself Callum Simpson.
08:27 Up and down the country and really around the world in terms of the sparring pedigree.
08:32 He's been mashed back so many times by Artem Bezhabiev's camp, you can almost say that he is part of a wider team.
08:38 But he's sparred everyone and I know Dan Aziz is a huge fan.
08:42 It's good education because this is where you do your learning but also behind closed doors.
08:47 That's great education.
08:49 Definitely and it's a good guard shift for himself personally.
08:53 He'll gain a lot of confidence and see where he's at.
08:55 How's he coping in those sparring sessions. Is he giving as good as he's getting?
08:59 Is he a little bit under the cush? Comes back the next day, has a go.
09:03 You know, great. Thanks for his experience.
09:06 These are good shots from him.
09:08 That was absolute quality from Callum Simpson.
09:10 Just working with the right hand. He just tapped with the first right hand and then changed the angle.
09:16 Came back with another right hand.
09:18 Impressive stuff so far from Simpson. This is what he wanted to do.
09:24 Good right hand and just knocks him by the off balance.
09:28 I think it was partially blocked but certainly the power carried through the guard.
09:33 Yeah and because he's a little bit ungainly, Barbe, it isn't quite obvious if he's hurt or not.
09:40 Because he does sway in the wind a little bit.
09:42 But undoubtedly these are good shots from Simpson.
09:45 Confidence is absolutely flowing.
09:49 I think Simpson's definitely a heavy hand because sometimes the shots look like they're arm punches but you see they have effect.
09:58 That is not where Mbave wants to be. Trapped in that red corner.
10:02 He was throwing back but under a barrage of punches.
10:06 A flurry of punches from Callum Simpson.
10:08 He's doing a real job here at the moment. Impressive stuff.
10:12 And most of it is coming off a good basic fundamental jab which is nice to see.
10:19 Switches down to the body and then back up.
10:21 Really good work there. Double left uppercut, uppercut, up the jab and then switch back through the right hook. Good shot.
10:27 I'm by no means a purist Matt. I think you know that by now.
10:30 But it is all being set up by a good jab.
10:33 For all the other Razamataz, an impressive work. Everything's coming off a really good straight jab.
10:38 Definitely and the uppercuts are working really well for him now.
10:41 Right uppercuts but also the left uppercuts are working a treat.
10:44 Yeah and Mbave actually can't get out of the way at the moment.
10:48 We spoke about he couldn't get a read on Mbave's punches at the very start of the first round.
10:53 They were coming from different angles but Simpson now boxing out southpaw.
10:56 He's got Mbave in a storm. He doesn't know where they're coming from.
10:59 Doesn't know if they're going to the head or to the body.
11:02 And Simpson just continues to pour it on.
11:05 Brilliant round from Callum Simpson. Impressive stuff.
11:08 Let's just keep an eye on this blue corner as well.
11:14 I just, there was a shake of the head there from Mbave.
11:16 I just wonder...
11:18 I just wonder if there's a discussion going on there.
11:23 Well he's certainly given out distress signals.
11:36 Yeah whatever the question was the answer is no.
11:42 Yeah.
11:44 Mbave.
11:45 Yeah I mean there's a real confident finish there to the round from Simpson.
11:56 I think he may start this round quick.
11:59 Yeah they won't have heard that combination but Mark Hurley and the team in that red corner will know
12:06 that was a torrid three minutes from Dula and Mbave.
12:09 And if Simpson can start how he finished
12:12 perhaps he can get his man out of there.
12:14 Desperately wanted to get a stoppage as well after back to back points wins.
12:18 At the end of the day he's a young fighter and they want to knock people out.
12:22 Yeah the benefit of the rounds it's all experience and you can't buy it.
12:27 But he wants to, he wants to get the headlines.
12:30 Yeah but Mbave's come out here aggressive himself here.
12:32 He's really letting his hands go.
12:34 Trying to take the fight to Simpson. Trying to back Simpson up.
12:41 Yeah all credit to him. If this is one last hurrah it certainly started well enough in the first 40 seconds of round number four.
12:47 Yeah it's up to Simpson to take the sting out of him. Tame him.
12:52 That was good defense from Simpson on that occasion. Nice high right glove.
12:57 Yeah good lead right hand there from Simpson.
13:00 Yeah I think there's something in that massive right hand.
13:05 Drops it for Mbave. Set it up with a brilliant left hook to the body.
13:10 Followed it up with a crisp right hand to the head.
13:13 He shakes his head. This one's going to be over.
13:15 Callum Simpson back with a bang and sets up a British title fight with Zac Kelly.
13:22 He's there. Back to style.
13:24 Yeah looked really good there. Put his shots together well.
13:29 Mbave came out at the start of that round trying to fight his way back into the fight.
13:35 Really you know put the pressure on Simpson. Tried to back him up. Take the play away.
13:39 But Simpson answered it with better shots.
13:42 Got him under the end of the jab. Landed a lovely lead right hand.
13:46 And then put a combination together with it to get the knockout.
13:49 That's nice to see Callum Simpson just helping Mbave back to the blue corner.
13:56 But they will be very happy in that corner.
14:03 I can see Kevin Murray. And I can just see that I know that's where Zac Kelly is seated.
14:07 And he's just exchanging one or two words.
14:10 We can't see it but I'm sure that Callum Simpson will be saying "You're next".
14:15 Yeah he was definitely shamed down to him.
14:18 And I don't know what he was saying but I can see Zac Kelly answering him with something.
14:23 I'm not a lip reader but uh...
14:26 You're many things Matt. You're many things.
14:29 But I don't think you necessarily have to be a lip reader to know that they're exchanging a couple of pleasantries over the top rope.
14:35 And why not? They're on a collision course.
14:37 What do you think Zac Kelly would have made of that tonight?
14:41 I think he would have been impressed.
14:43 Could you not be? Simpson he boxed well.
14:45 He uh...
14:46 Right from the first round he come out.
14:48 He landed some good body shots.
14:50 He landed...
14:51 Some lovely uppercuts. Left uppercuts. Right uppercuts.
14:55 You know and in the end he landed I think it was his right hand which got the uh...
14:59 The job done.
15:00 But you see those left uppercuts working a...
15:02 A treat for him. Yeah there was the right hand. He missed with the left hook but he...
15:06 He set up the right hand to come behind it but uh...
15:09 I think it was a really...
15:10 Really good performance from Simpson.
15:13 And uh...
15:14 Yeah Zac Kelly will know he'll have to be...
15:17 On his game if he's to...
15:19 Fend off this guy.
15:20 Yeah and for context only two have done it.
15:23 Rocky Fielding was one of them. We said that.
15:25 But Umar Salamov very talented Russian.
15:28 Future Light Heavyweight World Title challenger.
15:31 The only other one to do it.
15:33 So there's pedigree there.
15:35 Simpson joins a pretty good list.
15:38 With a very impressive performance topped off...
15:42 By that brilliant right hand.
15:44 That's a highlight right?
15:46 Highlight real finish for Simpson.
15:49 And no wonder they're celebrating.
15:54 It's a long journey down from Barnsley.
15:57 And they will have enjoyed that every minute of it.
16:00 That was a proper job.
16:02 From Callum Simpson.
16:04 Let's get confirmation of the result.
16:06 With Big Mo.
16:17 Ladies and gentlemen referee Mark Bates calls a stop to this contest.

16:46 column as well, 10 of them inside the distance.
