Transcript
00:00 - All right, boxes, trunks are looking good.
00:02 Remember, protect yourselves at all times.
00:04 Listen to my commands at all times.
00:06 Any questions from anybody,
00:07 fetch gloves, come out swinging.
00:09 - Our main event of the evening, Ryan Shaw,
00:12 707 knockouts, he's in the black trunks.
00:15 Andre Donovan, 724 knockouts, he's in the blue trunks.
00:19 Mark Ambrose along with the two-time NFL All-Pro
00:22 Albert Hainsworth, and we are here at the Texas Tribunal,
00:24 which this fight looks to be a
00:27 really competitive fight on paper.
00:30 - Yeah, definitely gonna be a competitive fight.
00:32 And again, you're gonna see a lot of punches thrown.
00:35 Again, like the speed of Ryan Shaw is amazing.
00:41 - Shaw, who's been fighting at bantamweight.
00:44 This fight is just a little bit
00:46 over the limit for super flyweight.
00:49 Donovan's been fighting featherweight.
00:51 He's been fighting at 130 pounds.
00:53 So he's been fighting higher up.
00:55 He said he just couldn't get fights
00:56 in his more natural weight class.
01:00 - Yeah, I think that's one thing
01:02 that we've been seeing with Ryan,
01:05 because he's been with Country Box
01:08 probably about six or so months now.
01:11 And it was hard for him to get fights at this weight.
01:16 So I think we expect to see him probably move up.
01:21 - About a month ago, I got a text message
01:26 from the manager of Donovan,
01:28 and he's like, "I can't believe they picked us."
01:30 So maybe they know something about Ryan Shaw.
01:34 Shaw, a little short to the right.
01:38 Donovan jumps in with a left hand,
01:40 him being the southpaw.
01:41 - Yeah, I think right now it seems like
01:47 Shaw is definitely trying to figure him out a little bit.
01:54 - He's not chasing him.
01:55 He's got an aim to the right.
01:57 - Donovan jumps in with a left,
01:59 misses with the right hand.
02:01 Now he's a southpaw, very awkward.
02:05 A lot jumping around there from Andre Donovan.
02:07 - Yeah, it is.
02:08 And I think that's what Shaw is trying to figure out.
02:13 - He's jumping in, and Shaw's ducking his jumps.
02:18 Donovan trying to just place.
02:22 There's a right from Ryan Shaw.
02:24 - Yeah, he's got like an awkward,
02:30 you know, he's got like that bouncing around,
02:32 kind of like the Manny Pacquiao.
02:34 You know, that's how Pacquiao attacks,
02:38 you know, like bouncing.
02:40 - It's like a rhythm for him.
02:41 - Yeah.
02:42 - Shaw trying to land some shots on the inside.
02:47 Donovan started boxing at the age of 13.
02:50 Tell me he was a wrestler.
02:52 - I can see that.
02:53 - There's a right hand from Shaw's,
02:55 and a right to the body from Donovan.
02:57 Shaw holding the left arm of Donovan.
03:02 Donovan continues to throw with the right.
03:04 Good right from Shaw.
03:09 Shaw being the puncher here,
03:11 wants this fight at distance.
03:13 It looks like there was a headbutt.
03:19 End of round one scheduled for six, our main event.
03:22 Ryan Shaw and Ray Donovan.
03:23 - You can see like, you got a nice welt
03:31 already coming up on his head.
03:32 And also, Ryan Shaw got a bloody lip.
03:35 I don't know if that's all from the headbutt or...
03:40 - You see Shaw getting in the little right hand.
03:45 Shaw, I think, wants some extension on his punches.
03:49 - Yeah, most definitely.
03:52 - So, you see a welt.
04:00 You see the cut above the left eye of Andre Donovan.
04:07 - Yeah, that's definitely probably from a headbutt.
04:14 Oh, wow.
04:15 For a boxer, that is not good.
04:21 But again, right now, this would be under,
04:28 I don't know what the round is.
04:32 - Round two scheduled for six.
04:34 Andre Donovan with a nasty cut on the left eyelid,
04:38 coming out, fighting frenetically,
04:40 trying to jump all over Ryan Shaw.
04:43 (crowd yelling)
04:45 - She's turning into, I was gonna say, a wrestling match.
04:52 And that's what Andre Donovan wants.
04:55 Donovan already leaking blood out from that left eyelid.
05:04 I don't think he's been touched there here in round two yet.
05:07 - No, absolutely not.
05:08 Yeah, absolutely not.
05:13 Good right from Shaw, but Donovan just trying to jump,
05:17 and Shaw goes down from a, well, he's a wrestler.
05:22 You call that a two-point takedown?
05:24 - No, I don't think so.
05:25 As you see it, like,
05:29 you know what this guy is doing,
05:34 is kind of going to the left.
05:36 He's going to the left of Ryan Shaw,
05:38 staying away from his right.
05:42 You know, he's staying away from his right, as you can see.
05:44 - This fight, good right from Shaw, this fight early,
05:47 somewhere between a wrestling match
05:49 and dancing with the stars.
05:51 - Yeah, as you see, like, but watch Donovan's style.
05:56 I can see it now.
05:57 He's going, look, he's attacking Shaw's left.
06:02 - Oh, there's a right from Shaw, left from Donovan.
06:08 And a good way to kind of thwart a puncher
06:12 is to stay inside and make that,
06:14 we were talking about earlier fights this evening.
06:16 - Yeah, make it ugly.
06:17 - Making ugly fights.
06:18 Well, they should have taken a page out
06:22 of Andre Donovan's book,
06:24 'cause he's doing a good job of that.
06:26 - See, like how he's trying to escape to the left?
06:31 If Shaw can keep him from the left
06:35 and keep his outside, his left hand outside,
06:38 that's where he's going to be more effective.
06:40 - There's a right uppercut from Shaw.
06:42 Shaw misses with the left, Donovan jumps in.
06:45 - Yeah, as you see right here,
06:47 like Donovan is trying to attack the left,
06:50 but he gets more success when he keeps
06:55 that left on the outside.
06:57 And now you can see how he's fighting to wrestle that.
07:01 (crowd shouting)
07:03 - This is a rough and tough fight.
07:13 Two more points in reversal for Andre Donovan.
07:24 Uppercut from Shaw.
07:29 Right from Donovan.
07:31 We close round two.
07:32 - I had to say, probably two rounds
07:37 might have been going to Donovan.
07:39 - The very few punches that were land,
07:43 I mean, Donovan's gotten into some,
07:44 as we see here on the replay.
07:46 - I mean, it's literally...
07:58 It's an ugly fight for Shaw.
08:03 And if he can kind of stay upright,
08:09 'cause he's crouching down, I mean, they're the same height,
08:12 but if he can fight upright.
08:14 - Shaw seems to be squinting from his left eye
08:17 in the corner now.
08:18 Definitely from the head attack of Andre Donovan.
08:24 - Oh, he has a, I mean,
08:27 a nice welt under his right eye.
08:30 - Donovan comes out jabbing to start round three.
08:42 - And he wants to step in.
08:48 (crowd shouting)
08:51 Shaw tries to land an uppercut,
08:57 tries to land a second uppercut.
08:58 Albert said there's a cut above the left eye
09:04 and a welt below the left eye now of Andre Donovan.
09:08 Body shot from Donovan.
09:10 - Watch out.
09:12 - Right from Shaw.
09:18 - When he keeps them, he's gotta keep them,
09:23 he gotta keep his left outside.
09:25 And that's where Ryan Shaw is gonna have more,
09:29 definitely have more success.
09:31 - It was a good right from Shaw.
09:33 - And that blood started.
09:34 Just that one shot.
09:37 - You can see Shaw's trying to step back a little bit,
09:43 create space for himself.
09:46 (crowd shouting)
09:48 - Yeah, like Shaw, he gotta use his left more.
09:52 He gotta use his left more.
09:56 - With WrestleMania this week,
10:01 and I think Andre Donovan's starting a little early.
10:04 - Do they have little weight classes like that?
10:08 - No, they don't.
10:09 Uppercut to the body from Ryan Shaw.
10:15 (crowd shouting)
10:17 - See what I mean?
10:19 See how Donovan's running to Shaw's left?
10:22 - Yes.
10:23 Shaw just misses with a right hand.
10:30 - See how Donovan's staying outside on his left.
10:37 So he's staying away from the right hand.
10:39 (crowd shouting)
10:41 - Shaw's now trying to time Donovan coming in.
10:44 He's gotta throw a jab.
10:45 - Body shot from Ryan Shaw and a right to the head.
10:56 (crowd shouting)
10:58 Uppercut, and here comes Donovan back landing
11:08 two right hooks to the head.
11:10 Misses with a straight left.
11:13 (crowd shouting)
11:16 Straight left from Donovan.
11:19 - I think that's what Donovan saw,
11:28 is that he knew he could attack the left side of Shaw
11:32 and be successful.
11:35 - End of round three.
11:38 (upbeat music)
11:42 (crowd shouting)
11:45 - See some of the action in round three.
11:49 See the cut that just.
11:52 Nasty cut, but you know,
11:58 they kept Donovan in the fight with it,
12:01 so they're doing a good job so far.
12:04 - And the way that Donovan is running to Shaw's left,
12:09 he's not like,
12:11 like Shaw's not being able to take advantage of that cut,
12:14 because of his powerful right hand would open that up.
12:18 That's a great,
12:27 it's definitely a great plan by Donovan's team,
12:31 I gotta say that.
12:32 (upbeat music)
12:34 Round four.
12:48 Ryan Shaw in the black, Andre Donovan in the blue.
12:56 A lot of black and blue marks on the faces of both fighters,
13:02 but unfortunately not really many from punches.
13:05 - Yeah, a lot from head butts.
13:07 'Cause there's not,
13:11 haven't really seen a whole lot of hard punches landed.
13:15 - Well, Donovan is making this a real ugly fight.
13:19 There's a right to the body from Ryan Shaw.
13:21 Donovan pushes, fall with a lefty,
13:25 mouthpiece of Ryan Shaw comes out.
13:31 Straight left from Donovan.
13:33 Good offense being mounted now by Andre Donovan.
13:37 Straight left again.
13:41 Shaw ducks under a right hook.
13:45 (crowd shouting)
13:48 He's making,
14:03 Donovan has made this an ugly fight that Shaw doesn't want.
14:08 And also he's kept away from his right hand,
14:11 which is Shaw's most dangerous weapon.
14:15 - And now that welt that was under the right eye of Shaw,
14:17 I think has become a cut.
14:19 - Yeah, absolutely has.
14:27 - Jab and a right hand from Ryan Shaw.
14:32 - You see like, you see like Shaw's body is outside.
14:36 His left is outside of Donovan.
14:39 And that's why,
14:40 so he can keep the guy in the center of his body
14:42 and that right hand can really do damage.
14:44 - As they say, usually it's the feet.
14:46 You want to be outside the feet.
14:48 When a southpaw and an orthodox fighter are fighting.
14:51 There's a right hook from Andre Donovan.
14:54 A left hook from Shaw and a left from Donovan.
15:05 - I don't know about a four.
15:07 - Yeah, Donovan seems at certain times
15:09 to pushing his punches forward.
15:12 - Yeah, like I don't think,
15:13 I don't think they're necessarily hurting Shaw.
15:15 They're just annoying and he's putting them in his face,
15:19 but that's enough for the,
15:20 that's enough for the judges to be honest.
15:23 Like he's more busy
15:25 and like Shaw's pop, pop shot.
15:31 And you can see like our judges,
15:33 our judges want,
15:34 our judges want more, you know, more action
15:40 and more punches landed.
15:41 No matter where they are, as long as they're landed
15:44 and he's just throwing them.
15:45 - End of round four between Ryan Shaw
15:49 and Andre Donovan, our main event.
15:50 Here at Country Box 15.
15:53 - Yeah, right now I'm definitely seeing Donovan,
16:10 probably Donovan's won, I believe all four rounds.
16:13 He's made it his fight
16:16 and Shaw doesn't quite know what to do with it right now.
16:24 He's had some success,
16:27 but like Donovan's game plan has definitely worked
16:33 and I gotta come in to his corner.
16:38 'Cause I mean that's a,
16:39 he stayed away from his most powerful shot
16:44 and really, really slowed Shaw down
16:48 'cause we haven't seen his hand speed yet.
16:53 - Round number five between Ryan Shaw and Andre Donovan.
16:57 Donovan works as a laborer at an aluminum factory.
17:05 (crowd shouting)
17:08 Donovan trained by Lee Kreischer.
17:26 Good right hook from Donovan
17:28 and a left on the ropes from Andre Donovan.
17:35 Uppercut and a combination from Donovan, Andre Donovan.
17:38 Landing some good shots to start round five.
17:48 - Yeah, some great shots.
17:52 - Uppercut just misses by Donovan.
17:56 - That's-- - And a right from Shaw.
18:03 - That's the thing, Donovan's not gonna stay out there
18:04 and let you hop shot him.
18:06 - And there were some close rounds earlier
18:09 that this is turning into a close fight.
18:12 Right from Shaw, misses with a right to the body.
18:15 - It's gonna require a knockout
18:17 and I don't know if Shaw has the gas
18:20 to be able to knock him out right now.
18:25 - Donovan working on the ropes here.
18:34 Lands a left on Ryan Shaw.
18:37 Combination from Andre Donovan on the ropes.
18:55 Now it looks like there's some blood
18:57 coming from the mouth of Ryan Shaw.
19:00 - Yeah, that's from the mouth
19:02 and these are all from punches.
19:03 I mean, the first damage probably could have been from--
19:06 - You think what Donovan started early
19:15 with that mauling style's now taking effect
19:17 here in the later rounds?
19:18 - Absolutely.
19:20 I mean, again, he's a wrestler.
19:21 They have incredible stamina.
19:26 Yeah, they know how to reserve
19:30 and they're gonna be up close,
19:31 wrestling around, they know body language.
19:33 And now you're adding punches to it.
19:37 That's a whole different--
19:39 - Some work inside from Ryan Shaw.
19:42 - Yeah, that's one thing I think he's gonna have to work on.
19:47 - Both are trading combinations
19:51 as they're just moving their hands.
19:53 Combination from Andre Donovan to end round five.
19:56 (crowd cheering)
19:59 - Really like to see the guys that Donovan has fought
20:09 where his two losses came from.
20:11 - Well, his two losses came to Jay Stencil III
20:14 who was two and O at the time
20:15 and John Lewis Jr. who was four and O at the time.
20:18 Both decision losses.
20:20 - Okay.
20:22 - And again, like we were talking about
20:26 in the last fight where Carolina fought
20:29 some pretty good competition,
20:31 probably better competition than Arrolano's fought.
20:35 Same thing here.
20:36 He's battle tested his Andre Donovan.
20:39 - Yes, he absolutely is.
20:40 He's a warrior and their game plan has worked.
20:45 He alleviated Shaw's right hand, stayed away from it,
20:50 kept being outside and put Shaw right in the middle of him.
20:55 This fight stopped in the corner
20:58 as Ryan Shaw cannot continue.
21:01 It looks like the left eye is almost completely shut
21:09 from Ryan Shaw.
21:11 - Well, he's holding it shut,
21:14 but I'm thinking he's got,
21:15 I don't know, he may not have poked an eye,
21:17 but something happened to his eye.
21:18 It's been bothering him the last three or four rounds.
21:23 - So we have a mild upset here
21:26 in our main event of Country Box 15.
21:29 Andre Donovan.
21:33 - What these guys gotta do, they gotta fight back.
21:39 I mean, it's a tough fight out here
21:42 and you're gonna keep getting better and better opponents.
21:46 Donovan's showing a lot of class for Shaw.
21:53 - It's beautiful, always beautiful to see.
21:55 - So Andre Donovan goes to eight and two,
21:58 notches fifth stoppage victory.
22:01 Ryan Shaw loses for the first time in eight bouts.
22:03 He's now seven and one.
22:04 - I wonder what happened to his eye.
22:10 I really wonder what happened to his eye.
22:14 I mean, he's not, his eye is not closed,
22:16 but he's keeping it closed.
22:19 (crowd chattering)
22:22 - Yeah, it's definitely the eye and, you know,
22:26 he's got a bloody mouth.
22:28 - Got a cut.
22:30 - You gotta give Donovan some credit
22:32 in the sense that, well, you gotta give him credit
22:33 for the win, but he had a nasty cut
22:36 to start this fight in the first round.
22:38 - Yeah, I mean, he really, really did.
22:43 I mean, again, like why that cut did not affect him
22:48 during the fight is because he stayed away
22:50 from Shaw's power hand and staying away
22:54 from his power hand, which is his right hand,
22:56 which that cut would have been hit over and over again.
23:00 I mean, it was a beautiful coaching job
23:03 by Donovan or Donovan's team.
23:06 I mean, like I said, and it's not taking nothing away
23:09 from Donovan, a heck of a fighter.
23:12 I mean, a lot of stamina.
23:15 I mean, he's not even breathing.
23:16 He wasn't breathing hard at all.
23:18 And so that's beautiful.
23:19 - The game plan was to crowd.
23:21 - Yeah. - Shaw.
23:30 - And he did that.
23:32 He did that perfectly.
23:34 He did that perfectly.
23:35 (crowd chattering)
23:38 - I think it was just announced the winners,
23:55 what we're doing right now.
24:02 - I think I just heard that Shaw wants a rematch.
24:07 - I'm sure he does.
24:09 - He's gonna have to definitely look at the tape.
24:14 And like I was saying during the fight,
24:16 he gotta keep that left hand outside and use it more
24:23 because that's what Donovan was running right to
24:25 because Shaw wasn't necessarily using the left hand
24:29 as he should.
24:30 - Both guys have a ton of respect for each other.
24:33 Have a nice conversation in the middle of the ring.
24:36 - Yeah, absolutely.
24:38 That's awesome to see.
24:39 - I don't know what we're waiting on.
24:47 I believe it's a stoppage.
24:50 - I mean, the referee waved his hands.
24:52 I believe we stopped at what, five rounds?
24:55 - At the end of round five.
24:56 - Yeah.
24:58 (crowd chattering)
25:00 I don't know if they're tallying up scores.
25:02 I mean, there's no reason to.
25:03 We're just waiting on the commission to give the okay
25:17 to JT Conway.
25:18 We don't have that quite yet.
25:19 (crowd chattering)
25:22 Yeah, it's been a wild night to say the least.
25:36 - It's par for the course here at Country Box.
25:41 Never know what you're gonna see.
25:45 So we are ready to get the official announcement.
25:48 Let's show up to JT Conway.
25:49 - Okay, folks, and if you will get these two fellas together,
25:53 let's hear it for both guys.
25:54 (crowd cheering)
25:57 We have a decision at the end of the fifth round,
26:01 TKO by Dr. Stoppage in the blue corner,
26:03 Andre Sugar Dre Donovan.
26:05 - There you go.
26:07 That's just what we thought.
26:08 I don't know why it.
26:10 - We'll throw it back now.
