02:00black and orange jeans, while Hernandez is wearing blue pants.
02:06We see Harold Laguna, as usual, very calm, letting go of his hands.
02:13He's not a boxer who throws a lot of punches on the fly,
02:20so we're seeing him trying to put his punches,
02:25the punches that he understands are necessary for the humanity of Hernandez.
02:29I like that, he's very passive, calm, he's letting himself go round by round.
02:34If he reaches his hand, he reaches it.
02:36If he doesn't, let's take the experience, as Melvin was saying,
02:39and continue to grow in the assaults.
02:41We're seeing a very good combination of two punches.
02:45There he tries to work Hernandez's body.
02:52Melvin, from what you've seen, you understand that maybe Harold should do a little bit,
02:57you understand that he's doing well in what he's going to do.
03:00Yes, so far he's doing well, he's studying his opponent's left guard,
03:07he's taking him, he's setting traps for him,
03:10and he wants to work his body, which is the key to this fight.
03:14We're seeing that his opponent doesn't hold back,
03:16he's an opponent that's not an easy target.
03:19We're seeing him working his quadrilateral.
03:23Harold is trying to work his body.
03:27He's throwing a very good combination.
03:29Working his body.
03:31Harold on the 1.
03:34Pedro Hernandez grabs fast.
03:39We're in the last seconds of this first assault.
03:44What a veteran is Hernandez.
03:46He's very tense.
03:48He grabs.
03:54There we are in the blue corner of Pedro Hernandez.
03:59We have Rafael Hernandez, Emanuel Guzman, and Andres Valdez,
04:03who at some point was in the corner of Sniper Pedraza.
04:07Jose Pedraza.
04:09There we are giving indications.
04:12In the red corner we have Luis Braña, Jose Cuadrado, and Wesley Torres.
04:18In the red corner, the corner of Harold Laguna.
04:23There.
04:25Big corner.
04:27Big corner.
04:28We're seeing the best moments.
04:30There's the one that hits the body by Harold,
04:33who insisted on working his body.
04:38Pedro Hernandez, fast.
04:40He grabbed and connected a very good hand inside the tie.
04:46We're going to what is the second assault of this fight,
04:50and it's going to be a six-man fight.
04:54Harold Laguna vs. Pedro Hernandez.
04:59Chary, what do you think Harold should be doing in this fight?
05:03Look, he has a very complicated opponent in front of him.
05:06He's alive, he doesn't let himself be hit.
05:08He has to stay calm and keep looking for the fight.
05:11Keep looking for the fight, because the guy doesn't stop.
05:14He's moving, and he's alive in front of him.
05:17With that blow, how could Harold stop Pedro Hernandez's movement in the ring?
05:25Pressing. He has to press him.
05:28He has to cut the ring and work the body.
05:31He has to work from the bottom up.
05:34And there he threw a very good blow to the body, up and down.
05:38But his rival, Pedro Hernandez, is a very slippery guy.
05:43I don't like Laguna going backwards with his head very high.
05:47He has to go more alive to the sides.
05:51And now it's Harold who's going backwards.
05:55I don't know if it was because he didn't like one of the hands that Hernandez threw.
05:59And it seems that Hernandez also perceived and went over Harold.
06:05Now Harold is standing in the middle of the ring.
06:13We're seeing Harold, right?
06:16How he capitalizes on how to attack Pedro Hernandez.
06:24Did Hernandez change the fight?
06:26Yes, it seems that it was at that moment that Harold had him on the ropes.
06:30He threw a blow.
06:31The way he went backwards. We'll see the repetition.
06:34The way he went backwards.
06:36What he received going backwards was a jab.
06:39But apparently it was solid.
06:41It was good.
06:42Yes.
06:43So, Melvin, how can Hernandez make that happen?
06:51How can he achieve that when Harold is throwing him backwards, he can take him backwards?
06:57He's the one who throws Harold backwards.
07:01When Harold is attacking him, he has to use his side steps.
07:05He has to use his side steps and then recalculate again.
07:09Even the GPs have a hard time with that.
07:11And throw him backwards, he can do that.
07:13And Harold has to do the opposite.
07:15Harold can't let that happen.
07:17Yes, because he got lost at that moment and the fight took a turn.
07:21We're seeing that Harold continues to throw combinations.
07:25A very good hand by Harold.
07:28But Hernandez...
07:30It's very complicated, Hernandez.
07:32Yes.
07:33Harold is doing what he can.
07:35He keeps moving forward and backwards.
07:37Hernandez is very complicated.
07:41Let's see if...
07:42It could be that he still doesn't have confidence.
07:45It could be.
07:46We're speculating.
07:48We can give him the benefit of the doubt.
07:59Melvin, what would you say to Harold right now?
08:03The most important thing is confidence.
08:05He has to have confidence.
08:06He has to raise his hands.
08:07He has to use his side steps.
08:09And keep working on his body.
08:11Keep working on his body.
08:13Maybe Harold's endurance in this assault is not because he received a hand.
08:19Maybe it's because he wants to get out of it.
08:22Because he knows it's 6 assaults.
08:24And his opponent is very uncomfortable.
08:26He can take him to the distance.
08:27We're seeing that moment where Harold had it.
08:30On the ropes.
08:33Let's see if we can see the moment when Harold went backwards.
08:41Let's see what this third assault is.
08:48Harold Laguna.
08:50Pedro Hernandez.
08:52Pedro looks fresh, Charly.
08:55Pedro looks fresh, Charly.
08:57We're seeing a veteran versus a good opponent.
09:04And these are competitive fights.
09:06These are good fights.
09:08Without a doubt, this is a complicated fight.
09:11That's right.
09:12There's Harold Laguna.
09:14White pants with an orange line.
09:16And Hernandez with blue pants.
09:19Let's see Harold trying to implement his rhythm.
09:23Hernandez isn't cooperating.
09:24He's moving a lot on the ring.
09:26He can't let him.
09:28Harold can't let him fight.
09:30He's leaving him passive.
09:32He has to be cutting the ring, like Melvin said.
09:34From side to side, with his hands down.
09:36If he doesn't do that, he won't find him.
09:41Because he's uncomfortable.
09:42One step back, one step forward.
09:44To the sides, grabs.
09:46Exactly.
09:48If you see Hernandez, I don't know if you've noticed.
09:52He's attacking with his body.
09:54He starts his attack with a jab.
09:57And that uppercut to the body.
09:59Something happened.
10:00Something he saw.
10:01He's insisting on that hand.
10:02Yes, it seems like it was the moment of retreat.
10:05And he took that hand.
10:06That's a very good hand from Hernandez.
10:09From the right to Harold Laguna.
10:11And now he throws a strong left hand.
10:14And now another left to the body from Harold Laguna.
10:18And we're in this third assault.
10:22This fight is tied at 6.
10:24A good uppercut from Hernandez.
10:27And Harold releases a combination.
10:34There's another very good left hand from Harold Laguna.
10:40Look at Hernandez with what Melvin says.
10:43Combining that hand and the body.
10:46There's something.
10:47There's something.
10:48Something he saw on the corner.
10:49Because in this assault, he's throwing even more at Hernandez.
10:57That's what Laguna has to do.
10:59Cut him alive and go.
11:01Don't let him show his fight.
11:03Because Hernandez isn't fighting.
11:05He's boxing him.
11:06He's uncomfortable.
11:07He grabs him.
11:09Yes, but it's like I said at the beginning.
11:11It's an excellent fight for him to come back.
11:13And I understand that Harold must dominate this boxer.
11:17Better than what he's doing.
11:19Not that the boxer dominates him.
11:21Like we were saying.
11:23We'll see again with the low hand.
11:25Yes.
11:26But despite how the fight has developed,
11:31Harold must be winning the fight.
11:33The strongest hands have been Harold's.
11:36But it hasn't been easy.
11:39No, no, no.
11:40Exactly.
11:41So he doesn't get it wrong.
11:43I see him winning the fight.
11:45But he has to be more dominant.
11:47In this stage of his career, he has to be more dominant.
11:49Yes, he has to dominate the fight even more.
11:51Exactly.
11:52And the third assault is over.
12:02What do you think, Victor?
12:03What do you think of this assault?
12:05A pretty good assault.
12:06I think Harold did better.
12:09I think the assault wasn't bad.
12:12He worked his body, but it wasn't seen.
12:15What do you think of Harold's instructions?
12:21Harold's instructions don't change.
12:23For me.
12:24But I'll make an adjustment.
12:26The straight that Harold is throwing,
12:28he can't throw it very straight to the head.
12:30He has to throw it to the left shoulder of the left.
12:33Why does he throw it to the left shoulder of the left?
12:35Where does it go to the right?
12:36If you see, he hasn't been able to put that right hand where it goes.
12:40And that's why.
12:41Throw it to that left shoulder.
12:43So you can make adjustments and be able to place it.
12:47Now we go to the fourth assault.
12:50Harold Laguna vs. Pedro Hernandez.
12:56The assault has begun.
12:57Now I ask you, Bendy.
12:59When you see that possibly,
13:02Harold can't cut the ring to what Pedro Hernandez is.
13:07What could be that other instruction?
13:09To then minimize the one that is moving so much in the quad.
13:13He has to make adjustments.
13:15He has to make adjustments on top of the quad, mister.
13:19And he has to be the dominant.
13:23You have to have the singer's voice on top of that quad.
13:27You have to be the one with the singer's voice in that fight.
13:31And how do you do it?
13:32Cutting the ring.
13:33Putting pressure.
13:34Being the dominant singer on top of that ring.
13:37Why?
13:38That's what you're there for.
13:40Chary, when you're with a rival,
13:43because now it's from the fighter's point of view,
13:47that you can't do what your coach is telling you to do,
13:53what goes through your mind?
13:55Or is it a moment to improvise from the fighter's point of view?
13:58It's complicated.
13:59It's complicated.
14:00It's complicated when you have a fight plan and you can't do it.
14:02You have to, like Melvin says, adjust yourself.
14:05And let it come out of the corner.
14:07It's not coming out of this or this.
14:10And then in the corner you set up a fight plan
14:13in what you're going to see in the assaults.
14:16There we see Harold Laguna.
14:18The fight, I understand, is kept in the same tone.
14:24Obviously, now he's a little more standing up
14:27because the assaults are still going on.
14:29The condition is the same from that first assault.
14:33And both are letting go of their hands.
14:35Pedro Hernandez himself is staying more standing up.
14:38I see him with more confidence.
14:40I see Pedro Hernandez with more confidence.
14:42Letting go of his hands.
14:45Confidence comes from what I'm telling you.
14:48You have to dominate him.
14:50You have to put pressure on him.
14:52You have to take him to the ropes.
14:54If you don't do that and go backwards,
14:57it looks like he's dominating Harold.
15:01You have to fight him.
15:02So you understand that the moment Pedro is in
15:07is simply because Harold hasn't done what he has to do.
15:13He hasn't done what he has to do.
15:15And most importantly, he has to show respect for his opponent.
15:20Of course, because I'm the man here.
15:23Exactly.
15:24You have to see that Hernandez isn't giving up either.
15:26That's true.
15:27It's complicated, but it's like Melvin says.
15:30He has to make adjustments,
15:32find a way to be the dominant.
15:36He's coming in with dry hands,
15:38he's coming in with strong hands.
15:39His strongest hands have been his,
15:41but he's letting Hernandez come up with his fighting plan.
15:44Now we're seeing, we're in the last seconds
15:47of this fourth assault.
15:50A fight with a little more action,
15:52but because Hernandez has been more standing,
15:55and the fourth assault ends.
16:09We're seeing Hernandez's corner, giving him instructions.
16:13Rafael Hernandez
16:16Meanwhile, we're seeing Braña
16:21with Harold Laguna
16:25and Jose Cuadrado.
16:28Now we're going to the fifth assault.
16:30Laguna is not in condition.
16:32He looks like he's in condition.
16:33He doesn't have his mouth open.
16:34He's well prepared.
16:36He has to keep going.
16:38Laguna is a well-disciplined boxer.
16:41He works hard in his career.
16:44In his physique, he works very well.
16:47Very good, very good. I like it.
16:49We're going to see how this fifth assault develops
16:54between Harold Laguna and Pedro Hernandez.
16:59It could be, it could be,
17:01I'm bringing it here, I'm talking here, right?
17:03It could be something psychological.
17:06That, the fact that Harold Laguna is so patient in combat.
17:11Look, remember that the opponent, Harold Laguna,
17:15where he lost, which guard was he?
17:19The one before him?
17:20Yes.
17:21Left-handed.
17:22Left-handed, right?
17:23He won with you.
17:24Yes.
17:25It could be what you're saying.
17:27You don't know how to get involved well with a left-handed fighter.
17:30Because you see that in the first assault,
17:32he dominated pretty well.
17:34And then from there,
17:36you're having a fight more or less there
17:40which hasn't been the great dominant in this fight,
17:44what we were expecting.
17:46Exactly, like cold and hot.
17:47Exactly.
17:48There's a moment, but there it is.
17:51Hernandez, we see that this assault was decided.
17:54Yes.
17:55It's simple.
17:56The instructions, we don't have to listen to them to know them.
17:59The instructions from the blue corner are,
18:01hey, throw him back.
18:03He looks tired.
18:05And he doesn't have confidence.
18:06When you throw him back, he doesn't know how to fight like that.
18:08Let's do it.
18:09Let's push him.
18:10Exactly.
18:11Exactly.
18:12There he went in with a very good right hand, Hernandez.
18:15And he keeps hurting his body with it.
18:18He hasn't stopped.
18:19He can throw combinations up,
18:21but he always throws,
18:23or a left hand by Hernandez
18:28over Harold Laguna.
18:31There he released his hand, Harold.
18:35He's going to throw a combination and take it over the rope.
18:39He tries to work his body, but it doesn't work.
18:42And an open by Hernandez.
18:46Laguna, we see that when he's in the corner,
18:49he goes back and lets him go again.
18:52When he's in that corner, he has to execute.
18:54He has to release his hand.
18:56You have to vary in attack.
18:58You have to vary in attack.
18:59If you always take him to the corner,
19:02right hook, left hook to the body,
19:04right hook, left hook to the body,
19:06the boxer knows you're coming with the same thing.
19:09You have to vary.
19:10Of course, because he's already being predictable for his opponent.
19:13Exactly.
19:14We're seeing, listen to me,
19:16quite active in this assault,
19:18Pedro Hernandez.
19:22He has neutralized
19:24Harold Laguna's attack.
19:30And there,
19:31Laguna throws a good punch,
19:33but it lands on Hernandez's shoulder,
19:35who stays in front of Laguna.
19:40Laguna has become a one-handed boxer in this assault.
19:44The left, why?
19:45Because of the same thing he just showed you.
19:47The right, it doesn't go there.
19:49You have to impact the right first
19:51and then place the left hand.
19:53That's the big problem Harold is having.
19:55He hasn't been able to impact a right hand yet.
19:57This is a very good assault for Hernandez.
20:10There we are,
20:11looking at Harold Laguna's corner,
20:13Luis Braña giving his impressions
20:16to his pupil, Harold Laguna.
20:20You can see,
20:22you can see the punishment
20:24from the previous assault,
20:26the fifth assault.
20:27Meanwhile, we see Pedro Hernandez's corner.
20:30Here we see the best moments.
20:32There we see that hand,
20:33that right hand
20:35by Pedro Hernandez,
20:37which landed very well
20:39on Harold Laguna's shoulder.
20:41The body is being worked by Harold.
20:46And a man by Pedro Hernandez.
20:52And now,
20:53we go to what is the sixth
20:55and last assault
20:57of this fight.
20:59You could be seeing
21:01the cards closed.
21:03A very good fight,
21:05without a doubt.
21:07All the fights have been good.
21:09Yes.
21:10I noticed Harold a little,
21:12I noticed him a little tired in the previous round.
21:14And we have Hernandez,
21:15who is a boxer
21:17of 23 fights,
21:19who knows how to manage himself,
21:20knows when to attack,
21:21knows when not to.
21:22He knows how to catch that air.
21:24He threw a very good hand to the body.
21:26A left hand,
21:27Hernandez,
21:28on Harold Laguna.
21:31Hernandez is confident.
21:34He's executing.
21:36How difficult is it to get a fighter
21:38out of that confidence
21:39when he gets into his rhythm
21:41of a fighter?
21:42Look,
21:43we see Harold now
21:44desperate
21:46because the plan didn't work out.
21:48Really,
21:49when a fighter doesn't let you,
21:51you have to find a way to do it.
21:53You have to find a way to do it.
21:54It doesn't matter how,
21:56but you have to do it.
21:57You have to try to execute it.
21:59There,
22:00Harold,
22:01it looks like he's talking to his rival
22:02and his rival did
22:04a cute hook.
22:06It depends on one hand.
22:08As he says,
22:09it depends on one hand.
22:11There we see Harold.
22:12It looks like they're talking.
22:15Pedro Hernandez and Harold Laguna.
22:18That's called frustration,
22:19Mister.
22:20A good hand from Hernandez
22:22and he insists with his hand.
22:24But he gets a hand from Harold
22:27and he tries to grab Hernandez.
22:29Let's see.
22:30He hurt him.
22:31Yes.
22:32And there he takes the body of Laguna.
22:34He has it on the rope.
22:36Let's see if Laguna can finish
22:39Hernandez,
22:40who gets out laughing
22:42from that grip.
22:45He gets a hand from Harold.
22:48And the right, you see.
22:50He gets another very good hand from Laguna.
22:55And there's only one minute left
22:59of this fight.
23:00What a great robbery.
23:02Yes.
23:03What a great robbery.
23:04Let's see if Harold can finish this fight.
23:08By knockout.
23:10He has it on the ropes again.
23:13And Hernandez speaks to him.
23:15And Harold steps back.
23:18And Hernandez's body works it.
23:21And Harold Laguna starts running.
23:24He starts using his hips.
23:27A good uppercut.
23:29But with this one,
23:30Harold Laguna also has very good hands.
23:32He has to follow Laguna.
23:33He can't let him.
23:34He can't let him come.
23:35He has to follow him.
23:36On top of him.
23:37On top of him.
23:38He's doing well.
23:39He's doing well.
23:40It's when he had his chance
