00:00 (crowd cheering)
00:01 - When action gets underway,
00:02 referee in charge, Will Sulos.
00:05 - All right, gentlemen.
00:06 You're both professionals.
00:07 I expect you to behave like professionals out there.
00:10 Obey my instructions at all times.
00:12 When I say break or stop, you will stop punching.
00:15 We'll take a step backwards.
00:16 You understand me?
00:18 Touch 'em up.
00:18 - So Truella and Weitra get ready to go
00:25 in the second of our fights here in Sydney tonight.
00:29 And the Western Sydney faithful here in force
00:32 to support Daringara Truella
00:35 in his third professional fight against John Weitra.
00:38 And they meet at center ring.
00:44 - Dan, I believe Daringara is related to Chok, yes?
00:51 - Yeah, that's true.
00:52 He is related on his mother's side
00:54 to Anthony "The Man" Mundine.
00:56 - One of our greats.
00:58 His middle name is Ali as well.
01:00 So he was always gonna end up here born to fight,
01:05 he calls himself.
01:06 And he shows a really good eye there
01:07 as he comes back with a nice slick right hand as well.
01:10 - Excellent anticipation there.
01:12 - Weitra, good right hand of his own.
01:16 - Yeah, big step.
01:17 - Turned around a left hook
01:18 and followed up with that straight right.
01:20 - Both boys feeling each other out in this first round.
01:27 (crowd chattering)
01:30 - It was a really entertaining debut we saw from Truella
01:34 on that card in Newcastle last year.
01:36 A repeat of that would really get this crowd going
01:40 as Weitra gets on that right hand.
01:43 - Hand free, punch out of there.
01:43 - Weitra throwing good punches.
01:45 - Don't hold in there, John.
01:45 - Daringara, you know,
01:47 seeing him exceptionally well at the moment.
01:49 - Quick jab there from Weitra.
01:54 Gets back on it again.
01:57 (crowd chattering)
02:00 - Turns it into a hook and it is Truella
02:03 straight up the middle.
02:04 Body shots, Truella.
02:08 - Beautiful, both sides of the body, beautiful.
02:10 Head shot, right rip the left side
02:13 and then left hook the body.
02:14 Fast hand.
02:17 Look at those reflexes, beautiful body shots.
02:21 - Really nice body work it is from Truella.
02:23 He goes downstairs nicely
02:25 and now he gets back on that jab.
02:27 There's a significant reach advantage
02:29 by the looks of things to Weitra
02:31 when he gets that long left jab out.
02:34 But Truella has found his way past it a number of times
02:37 and is starting to do some really good work to the body.
02:40 Now it is Truella who fires out a powerful jab
02:44 and finishes with a right hand there as he got in tight.
02:47 - Truella sees punches brilliantly.
02:53 Anticipation is excellent.
02:55 - There's that combination again from Weitra.
03:05 Left hook into a right hand, he's had some success there.
03:08 Truella up on his toes and
03:13 he leads the action and does so nicely
03:17 and that gets a buzz out of the crowd.
03:19 - Nice left hook.
03:20 - Good.
03:21 - 10 seconds.
03:25 - Good shot there on the inside.
03:29 - Unbelievable timing, beautiful,
03:31 beautiful timed uppercut
03:32 which is a very hard punch to land anyway.
03:34 Beautiful, look at that.
03:35 - There's one to finish the round as well.
03:37 Truella had the very best of it
03:40 over the last 30 seconds of the opening rounds.
03:43 And this is his corner with Tony Delvecchio.
03:45 - Take your time, I see what you're doing.
03:47 You're sucking it in, already is,
03:48 already sucking the big one.
03:50 I'm throwing the body shots.
03:51 Money in the bank, money in the bank.
03:53 Keep breathing, breathing.
03:54 On the exit, there's a high guard.
03:56 That's the only thing you gotta worry about, all right?
03:57 That's it.
03:58 You gotta worry about it on the exit, all right?
04:03 High guard in, high guard up.
04:05 Go one jab, one jab, lock him up, one jab,
04:08 one chop, chop, stab.
04:10 You don't even have to focus on the one jab,
04:12 you can just talk about jabbing in the corner.
04:14 When you come in,
04:15 just watch your hands, reset your hands, okay?
04:20 - Tony Delvecchio giving some good advice
04:27 to Karen Garra-Truella there in the corner.
04:30 - He is, and we'll get started shortly
04:34 for round number two.
04:35 Here's Truella and Weitra.
04:38 And it was a really strong finish
04:41 to the round from Truella.
04:43 And a strong start here as Weitra comes back
04:45 and turns around that left hand to the body.
04:48 But Truella, he started to fire some shots away.
04:53 He steps up the power now,
05:01 as Truella, he's throwing with plenty of venom
05:03 as he gets to the body of Weitra as well.
05:05 One, two, three shots from Truella.
05:10 - Weitra taking them well at this stage.
05:13 - He covers up, the body's exposed for a moment.
05:16 It's a good shot from Weitra, but not much on it.
05:23 There's a bit more on those body shots from Truella.
05:26 Now he's trying to punch straight through the hands
05:30 of Weitra.
05:31 - Yeah, look at that, good combo,
05:36 but you know, blocked well by Weitra,
05:38 but still good shots.
05:40 - Lovely body shots. - Body shots, yeah.
05:42 - Nice stuff, Truella.
05:43 He's starting to unload here in round number two.
05:46 Weitra throws a wild uppercut, but misses,
05:49 and just gets a bit ragged for a moment
05:51 as Truella continues to work hard.
05:53 - Yeah, lifting the pace this round for sure, Truella.
05:56 - The body shots look the punches most likely
06:06 for Darren Garrett-Truella here in round number two,
06:09 and into the second half of it.
06:11 - Back to your lane, John.
06:12 - Rolling.
06:13 - Weitra looking to counter, but not doing enough,
06:19 just there catching the shots.
06:21 - It's a good shot. - A good right hand, yeah.
06:22 - A good right hand from Weitra.
06:24 - That's what he needs to do, throw more of that.
06:27 - Just that same combination, oh, it's uppercut too.
06:30 - Truella.
06:32 - There he is.
06:33 - Good left hand, but he takes a good shot
06:35 back from Truella, pushes forward again
06:38 does Darren Garrett-Truella.
06:39 - There you go again.
06:40 - Misses with that one over the top as Weitra covers up now.
06:49 - I think if Truella really puts the pressure on,
06:54 and keeps it on, there's a big chance of pulling out
06:57 from Weitra.
06:59 But at this stage, Weitra's fighting back well.
07:02 Look at that, oh.
07:05 - Ripping into the body there with the right hand,
07:08 is Truella.
07:09 - Right above us here.
07:12 - He turns that right hand around twice, good stuff.
07:16 Truella who goes to the body now,
07:18 and Weitra's in this corner.
07:20 He leaps out and throws a shot, but.
07:21 - Break fellas, break.
07:22 - A tangle here.
07:23 10 seconds left in the second round, oh body shots.
07:28 - Beautiful clean body shots.
07:30 - Stands up to them well on that occasion does Weitra,
07:33 but he can't take too many more of those,
07:35 as he gets through round number two.
07:38 This one just a four rounder,
07:39 but Darren Garra-Truella is starting to pick up the pace
07:43 here on John Weitra.
07:44 - Money in the bank, it's working, water.
07:46 - Breathe, breathe.
07:49 You're fucking brilliant here mate.
07:54 - Up on the knee, shift.
07:56 You get him on those reps, body body, shift.
07:58 Get up the middle.
07:59 - Let's keep that up all night,
08:00 this one's about to get to the two rounds here.
08:02 - And these are the highlights of a really strong
08:05 Darren Garra-Truella round.
08:07 What have you been most impressed by
08:09 in having a look at him Barry?
08:10 - Probably been his anticipation.
08:13 He sees shots very well, he counters beautifully
08:16 and he's a very good body puncher as well.
08:18 - Get set for round number three of the action here
08:24 and Barry, you'll be as interested as plenty of our viewers
08:28 would be I'm sure.
08:29 Saw Jeff Fennec this afternoon in hospital.
08:31 He is on the improve.
08:33 He's been 12 rounds with the surgeons
08:36 and the doctors in recent days
08:37 and has had a really tough time of it.
08:40 But he's in recovery mode now,
08:41 which is really great to see.
08:43 - Great to hear and sounds like it's been a tough battle.
08:47 - Oh yeah, he's had a rough trot
08:49 but it was good to see him this afternoon
08:52 and I'm sure he'll be back with us very, very shortly.
08:54 But hopefully you can tune into the action tonight
08:57 but I'm sure plenty are interested in his progress
09:00 'cause it's been a rough little time
09:02 but right now we're having a look at a good fight
09:04 between Darren Garrett-Truella and John Wietra.
09:07 And Wietra really digging deep here to stay in the fight
09:17 and to give himself some sort of a chance.
09:19 - Hands free, that's it.
09:20 - As I mentioned earlier,
09:21 he was a very good amateur prospect.
09:23 He's dipped in and out of the sport at times.
09:27 He's clearly got some ability
09:29 but he's in there with a really good one tonight.
09:31 - He's certainly in against a good opponent
09:32 but so you can see that Wietra's,
09:34 he knows his way around a boxing ring.
09:36 He's tough, he's a pretty reasonable puncher.
09:38 He's stood up for the punch a lot of shots so far.
09:41 - They're good body shots from Truella.
09:43 He goes with the left hand,
09:46 follows up with another little right hand to the body there
09:49 and Wietra just backs away,
09:50 tosses out an overhand right
09:52 but there is a look of intent from Truella now
09:57 as he pushes forward and just tries to open up the target.
10:02 - That right hand pulled again and goes again.
10:05 He's getting in a position to throw meaningful body shots
10:08 as he starts to work over the top is Truella.
10:12 - Truella's got brilliant anticipation.
10:15 He's just got that.
10:17 - That was a good one into the body.
10:18 These body shots are doing damage.
10:20 John Wietra in a bit of trouble here against the Ripes.
10:23 Truella looking for openings.
10:28 That one just about bent him over.
10:30 That one gets up and through.
10:33 There he goes with his left hand to the body
10:34 and uppercut as well from Truella.
10:36 He scores with a right hand.
10:37 The crowd behind him as he goes bang with a right hand
10:40 and Wietra comes back.
10:42 - Comes back with his own right.
10:43 Showing a lot of heart here and toughness Wietra.
10:46 - Absorbing a lot of these shots
10:48 but taking plenty cleanly as well
10:50 and showing real resilience here is John Wietra.
10:54 In the face of a quality boxer, Darren Garra Truella
11:00 in his third professional fight.
11:02 Knowing all the punches, including a slick jab there
11:04 that glanters into the jaw.
11:06 - Truella's got a full kit of punches.
11:08 Good uppercut here from Wietra.
11:10 - Really nice uppercut from Wietra.
11:12 - Good stuff.
11:15 - He looked in real trouble at times.
11:17 - He did, but he's come back well.
11:19 He's weathered everything so far.
11:21 - Oh, that's a good body shot again.
11:23 - I felt that down here.
11:24 - He felt it.
11:26 He took a step back,
11:27 straight back in front is Wietra.
11:30 He is tough.
11:31 Well conditioned too to take these body shots.
11:34 - For sure.
11:34 (bell rings)
11:35 - Oh, he's got three round three.
11:37 He's got one to go.
11:38 - Three rounds down.
11:41 Truella and this man Wietra
11:44 who has absorbed a lot of punishment.
11:48 Have a look at the body assault from Darren Garra Truella.
11:58 What are you seeing here, Barry?
11:59 - Yeah, look, as I said,
12:01 he's got a full kit of punches at Darren Garra Truella.
12:05 He sees punches very well.
12:07 Doesn't get hit hardly at all cleanly.
12:09 Look at the timing he's got.
12:10 Look at that.
12:11 Perfect body shots.
12:13 But you've got to give Wietra credit.
12:16 He's a tough cookie.
12:17 He's in very good condition
12:19 to be taking what he's taken so far.
12:21 Looked pretty drained in the corner here
12:23 coming up for the fourth and final round.
12:26 - Second down.
12:27 - Fair enough to look a bit drained
12:29 after some of the shots that he has taken,
12:31 particularly to the body.
12:33 John Wietra giving a very good account of himself.
12:36 - Fourth and final round.
12:39 - Straight to work.
12:40 - With a very good Darren Garra Truella.
12:42 The quality about Wietra as well.
12:49 - Yep.
12:50 - Looks set to go on two
12:51 to start his professional career here.
12:53 Right up against it against Darren Garra Truella
12:56 a few rounds into this fight.
12:58 But he's got something to offer,
13:00 no doubt about that,
13:01 as Truella gets back on the jab
13:02 and just tries to open up that target
13:04 that's in front of him.
13:05 Leaping uppercuts are good.
13:08 - Oh.
13:08 - There goes Wietra.
13:10 - Good shot from Wietra.
13:11 - Good stuff from Wietra.
13:14 He's got a beautiful uppercut.
13:16 - He certainly-
13:17 - And he's chasing now.
13:18 Oh, he takes that little left hook
13:20 as Truella scored well.
13:22 Now he goes to the body as well.
13:24 Truella misses the uppercut from Wietra.
13:26 Body shot Truella.
13:27 Leading with his right hand is Truella again.
13:30 - Wietra has certainly got himself
13:32 in very good condition to be withstanding
13:34 what he's taken so far.
13:35 - He took a really strong left hook on the inside
13:38 as he had a little moment of his own there.
13:40 Did Wietra.
13:41 Now he just goes backwards and tries to stay away.
13:45 The body shots pour in again from Truella.
13:48 That left rip to the body was doubled up
13:51 and Wietra stayed upright somehow
13:54 as Truella goes one, two.
13:57 Straight down the middle.
13:58 - You've got to give Wietra credit.
14:00 He's in very good physical condition.
14:02 - With the right hand.
14:05 - Both hands from both fighters.
14:08 Truella into the guard and he turns it around again
14:10 as Wietra throws his own right hand
14:13 but it's over the top of Truella.
14:14 There's a nice right hand.
14:15 Truella again into the body of Wietra.
14:19 (crowd cheering)
14:21 Who stands up tall and tries to cover up.
14:24 - Coming up to a minute remaining
14:27 in the fourth and final round.
14:29 Is Truella gonna get the stoppage?
14:31 I think it's probably unlikely at this stage Ben.
14:34 - Yeah, there was a perfect right hand there as well but.
14:36 - Took it well.
14:37 - He was unaffected.
14:39 There's another right hand straight through the gloves.
14:48 Just stands back and.
14:49 - Little right hand there.
14:52 - Tries to find a moment here as Darren Garra Truella.
14:54 Left hook misses over the top.
14:58 - Coming up to 35 seconds remaining
15:02 in the fourth and final round.
15:04 - Right to the 30 seconds remaining
15:05 for the final round.
15:06 It's Rupert Wietra.
15:08 - Yeah, the crowd getting behind these boys
15:10 but John Wietra's shown a lot of heart.
15:13 Very good conditioning here.
15:15 - Yeah, he's fought very well against a quality boxer here
15:20 as John Wietra but Darren Garra Truella
15:24 has shown all the punches and produces a nice overhand ride
15:27 as well as he takes one, gives a couple back.
15:30 Wietra covers up here and takes a body shot.
15:33 That's right from the nose of Truella.
15:35 Well, they stay on their feet.
15:38 A really good full round.
15:39 Darren Garra Truella and John Wietra.
15:43 Wietra showed tremendous resilience to stand up
15:46 to a body assault and plenty of shots over the top.
15:49 - He sure did.
15:50 - Unfair that he's about to head to O and two
15:52 as a professional but Darren Garra Truella,
15:55 he's going to three and O and he's going places as well
15:58 because there's something about him.
16:00 He's been in some entertaining fights when we've seen him.
16:03 He showed the full kit of punches here tonight
16:06 and he's clearly got plenty of ability, Barry.
16:09 - Ben, he's very impressive.
16:11 His timing is impeccable. He sees punches beautifully
16:14 and counters exceptionally well.
16:16 - A great punch selection throughout this bout.
16:22 Went to the body, went upstairs,
16:24 really tried to open up Wietra who showed good defence,
16:29 covered himself up well with that high guard
16:32 and absorbed plenty of body shots throughout the four rounds.
16:37 - He had a few good moments himself.
16:38 He landed some good shots, a couple of good uppercuts,
16:40 a couple of right hands because Truella,
16:43 very, very hard to hit plainly.
16:44 - Really nice uppercut that he has, John Wietra.
16:48 Got away a few of those through the course of the four rounds
16:54 but it's Truella's fight and we'll make that official now
16:57 with Steven Payos.
16:58 - Ladies and gentlemen, after four rounds
17:00 of professional boxing, we go to the judges' scorecards
17:02 for the decision.
17:04 Judges Leanne Reid and Tom Lambert score the contest 40-36
17:07 and judge George Plellis scores the contest 39-37.
17:11 All three judges in favour of your winner.
17:13 Unanimous points decision,
17:15 blue cutter,
17:16 Darren Garra Truella!
17:19 - Well, remember the name Darren Garra Truella.
