19:23 We welcome you to San Diego.
19:25 Our continuing coverage of the undercard
19:27 for what will eventually be the lightweight championship
19:29 of the world between Barancic and Navarrete.
19:31 But just moments ago in Saudi Arabia
19:33 it is now official.
19:35 Alexander "Sasha" Usyk
19:37 is the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
19:39 So what we're gonna do is continue with our coverage of the undercard.
19:41 We'll double down on the undercard
19:43 and we'll continue with our coverage of the undercard.
19:45 We'll double box it for you.
19:47 You won't miss any of the action.
19:49 But we are gonna continue on
19:51 with our post-fight analysis
19:53 of the undisputed heavyweight title fight
19:55 between Alexander Usyk and Tyson Fury.
19:57 And Tim Bradley, let me start with this.
19:59 It was a hell of a fight.
20:01 [Laughing]
20:03 I think that's an understatement.
20:05 My gosh. I mean...
20:07 Look, I'm lost for words, man.
20:09 What Usyk was able to do and pull that off.
20:11 I mean, starting off, stepping on the gas,
20:13 pressing forward, you know,
20:15 starting to dictate the pace early on.
20:17 I thought he might have swept the early rounds.
20:19 But towards the middle,
20:21 when you saw Tyson Fury just dancing around,
20:23 having a good time, popping here,
20:25 popping there, throwing him body shots.
20:27 You know, he was in total control.
20:29 But something happened, Tess. Something happened in the eight.
20:31 He got hit with a big left hand
20:33 and something happened with his nose.
20:35 From there, from that point on,
20:37 the fight completely changed.
20:39 And then in the ninth, Usyk lands that beautiful
20:41 looping left hand that hurts Fury.
20:43 And, you know, I thought it was a knockdown sooner.
20:45 It could have been two knockdowns, to be honest with you.
20:47 Because when he staggered back the first time
20:49 towards the ropes, that should have been counted
20:51 a knockdown right there. However,
20:53 great fight from Usyk. Congratulations
20:55 to Usyk and his team.
20:57 What a phenomenal performance he put on.
20:59 Wow. I'm blown away.
21:01 Split decision win for Alexander Usyk.
21:03 One judge had it.
21:05 114-113 Usyk.
21:07 Another judge had it.
21:09 112 Usyk. And then
21:11 Craig Metcalf from Canada
21:13 had it. 114-113 Fury.
21:15 Of course,
21:17 Mark, the turning point in the fight,
21:19 we know what happened in the eighth when he gets hit in the nose,
21:21 but the knockdown and the brutality
21:23 in the ninth round put forth by
21:25 Usyk, it all started with the left hand.
21:27 It started with the left hand, but
21:29 look, I wrote the other day
21:31 that, taken together,
21:33 there's never been
21:35 a pairing of bigger,
21:37 more skilled heavyweights.
21:39 I saw nothing at all to
21:41 dissuade me from that opinion tonight.
21:43 I thought that Fury was a little
21:45 too cute early on.
21:47 I was waiting for him to start
21:49 bullying him, to use his weight.
21:51 I think he conceded pretty much
21:53 the first three rounds and put him in a hole.
21:55 Then he came on, and
21:57 you saw it change. We said,
21:59 "We think his nose is broken." Whatever it is,
22:01 Usyk cracked him, and
22:03 that changed the fight.
22:05 It was such a
22:07 high-level fight. I had it
22:09 115, 112.
22:11 Usyk, but
22:13 it's
22:15 no longer an American division,
22:17 but it is a great division.
22:19 What Usyk did
22:21 in his size, moving up,
22:23 is extraordinary.
22:25 So you had it at 115.
22:27 You had it seven rounds
22:29 to five in favor of
22:31 Usyk, obviously a 10-8 round.
22:33 How did you score it? I had it 115,
22:35 112 as well.
22:37 I had the same as Mark. That 10-8 round
22:39 was definitely the turning point of this fight.
22:41 Let me just say, it's about damn time
22:43 one of these big fights delivered,
22:45 and this was it.
22:47 There was ebbs and flows
22:49 because Oleksandr Usyk was nipped
22:51 and tucked early on. He never
22:53 left his comfort zone, but
22:55 he let Tyson Fury know
22:57 that he was in this fight. That left
22:59 hand eventually found a home, but he
23:01 had to work so hard
23:03 to get inside. It was
23:05 the pawing with the jab
23:07 of Tyson Fury, but the difference
23:09 is, between the jousting and the pawing,
23:11 there was never a definitive jab
23:13 that just stopped Usyk
23:15 in his tracks the entire fight, and I think that
23:17 was one of the weaknesses of Tyson Fury.
23:19 And when I look at what happened in this
23:21 fight, everything that
23:23 Tyson Fury lacked,
23:25 Oleksandr Usyk had in
23:27 spades, and I think that was the difference
23:29 in this fight. Again, let me just
23:31 remind everybody what's going on here. We
23:33 are breaking into what would normally be
23:35 our ringside coverage of this
23:37 top-ranked undercarders. We are showing you
23:39 some of the images of what just
23:41 happened in Saudi Arabia at
23:43 Kingdom Arena, where Oleksandr
23:45 Usyk remains undefeated
23:47 and is now the undisputed
23:49 heavyweight champion of the
23:51 world, handing Tyson Fury,
23:53 the Gypsy King, the first
23:55 loss of his career. He does
23:57 it by split decision. He does
23:59 it by coming on late. He does
24:01 it by a series of left hands in the
24:03 ninth round that forced a knockdown
24:05 when Fury was seemingly
24:07 in control by most
24:09 accounts of ringside observers
24:11 winning all the middle rounds,
24:13 winning five straight rounds, and
24:15 then Usyk takes over the fight
24:17 to remain undefeated, so he's
24:19 now the undisputed cruiserweight
24:21 champion who moves up to heavyweight, and
24:23 is the undisputed heavyweight champion.
24:25 Joe,
24:27 go ahead, go ahead.
24:29 It's almost like Tyson
24:31 was feeling him out, thinking how much he can get
24:33 away with those first three rounds,
24:35 and then after that, I had
24:37 Fury winning the next four,
24:39 and I was like, "Okay, this is inevitable now,"
24:41 because Usyk had to work so hard,
24:43 and then he cracked him in the nose,
24:45 but Timmy, you said something
24:47 that Usyk made
24:49 an adjustment. What was that?
24:51 So, at first,
24:53 what Usyk was doing, he was attacking
24:55 after Fury would jab,
24:57 and then Fury was setting him up with the uppercut,
24:59 so Fury would shoot the jab,
25:01 then Usyk would try to attack,
25:03 and Fury would load up with the uppercut,
25:05 but then Usyk, what he started doing was
25:07 he started allowing Fury to react,
25:09 and once he'd react,
25:11 then he would make a miss, and then he would react
25:13 right afterwards, even if he took
25:15 the shot flush, you know, so he
25:17 was just reacting to what Fury was doing.
25:19 He was being first sometimes, and being
25:21 - But he took the uppercut away. He took that, like,
25:23 - Yeah, because he wasn't coming in
25:25 after the jab. He was waiting
25:27 on him to fully extend himself.
25:29 Once he extended himself, then he attacked
25:31 right afterwards, catching Fury
25:33 out of position. - You know what?
25:35 I think Tyson Fury's out of pocket right now,
25:37 speaking out of position. - Why? - He just said
25:39 in the post-fight interview that the reason
25:41 that Oleksandr Usyk won is because
25:43 his country's at war, and they're siding with him.
25:45 I think that, look, man,
25:47 let's just put this out there.
25:49 It was a close fight. It was a great
25:51 competitive fight, and for those
25:53 who think it could've gone either way, yes,
25:55 but that knockdown made a huge difference.
25:57 Even if it was split 6-6,
25:59 that knockdown gives it
26:01 to Oleksandr Usyk. It was that close of a fight.
26:03 - We've seen this.
26:05 This is like a phenomenon in our
26:07 sport. Guys' egos are
26:09 so huge coming in. It's like you can't
26:11 accept defeat. - Correct.
26:13 - And right after,
26:15 you kind of rationalize it.
26:17 We've seen incredibly rational
26:19 men say incredibly rash
26:21 things in loss.
26:23 - All right, let's just give you some historical
26:25 context here as we continue on, and then I
26:27 want to get back to the point that Bernardo made,
26:29 and we'll go through the scoring, and I'll explain something to you.
26:31 Oleksandr Usyk is
26:33 now the undisputed heavyweight champion.
26:35 That is the first undisputed
26:37 heavyweight champion we have had
26:39 in the sport since Lennox
26:41 Lewis defeated Evander Holyfield
26:43 in 1999.
26:45 Keep in mind, that was
26:47 the three belt era. This is the
26:49 first four belt undisputed
26:51 heavyweight champion. Of course,
26:53 he's also now the lineal heavyweight
26:55 champion of the world. He's the
26:57 man who beat the man who beat
26:59 the man, going all the way back to
27:01 John L. Sullivan. Now
27:03 add to that list the name Oleksandr
27:05 Usyk. As for the
27:07 claim by Fury that there was
27:09 sympathy for Oleksandr Usyk
27:11 because of the happenings in Ukraine in
27:13 recent years and the Russian invasion,
27:15 keep in mind that the dissenting
27:17 score to make this a split decision
27:19 came from Craig Metcalf
27:21 from Canada. Craig
27:23 Metcalf is the judge
27:25 assigned by the
27:27 WBC, the belt,
27:29 the green belt, owned
27:31 prior to this fight by Tyson
27:33 Fury. So if there was any bias
27:35 in the judging in this fight,
27:37 it was for Fury
27:39 to give you a split decision by
27:41 his WBC judge from Canada,
27:43 114 to 113.
27:45 But the WBC wouldn't do that.
27:47 Sure.
27:49 Here are the final copy
27:51 box numbers as we look through
27:53 here. And you see that Usyk
27:55 outlanded Fury
27:57 170 to 157.
27:59 Of course, Fury
28:01 active with the jab with his
28:03 reach advantage, 85 inches.
28:05 You see the power punches
28:07 thrown with a distinct advantage
28:09 for Alexander Usyk
28:11 122 to
28:13 95. And it was
28:15 the power punching in both the
28:17 8th round and the 9th round,
28:19 Tim. Listen, the 8th round, he
28:21 doesn't score a knockdown, but it may be
28:23 the most significant moment of the fight
28:25 when he lands flush right
28:27 to the nose and it's like the air just
28:29 came out of Tyson Fury. You know what brought me back to
28:31 that punch that
28:33 Adewaleen landed? That's the same
28:35 exact shot that Fury couldn't get away from.
28:37 And that's that looping left hand. Fury
28:39 was moving right, but when he had the proper distance,
28:41 he was making that left hand fall short.
28:43 Then when he was moving left,
28:45 he was taking that left hand away from him. But Usyk,
28:47 man, being as so technically sound
28:49 as he is, man, he found a way
28:51 to set him up for that big shot.
28:53 He would slide left, slide right, then he'll
28:55 loop the shot over, catching Fury out
28:57 of position and unaware of it.
28:59 You know, a couple weeks ago
29:01 we said, and this is not
29:03 meant to be a jingoistic or nationalistic
29:05 comment, but a couple weeks ago
29:07 you were of the opinion that
29:09 Ukraine had a really great
29:11 run. They've had a really great century
29:13 going back to the Klitschko's,
29:15 but it's run its course right now.
29:17 Then you saw Loma.
29:19 Now you saw this. And tonight
29:21 we're going to see the silver
29:23 medalist from the
29:25 2012 Olympics.
29:27 That extraordinary Olympic team,
29:29 most of them trained by
29:31 Anatoly Lomachenko, we're going to see
29:33 him tonight in the main event,
29:35 see if he can upset a guy who
29:37 is thought to be the bigger guy, even though
29:39 he's the natural lightweight, Deren Sparanskiuk
29:41 versus Navarrete. Guys, can I just
29:43 bring something into the conversation? Please.
29:45 Because Terence Crawford
29:47 just said, man, y'all better
29:49 put some respect on Usyk, man.
29:51 He's definitely a candidate from number one
29:53 pound-for-pound fighter in the world. He beat
29:55 the man who beat the man in a bigger division.
29:57 That's the definition. Give salute, brother.
29:59 And what I get at is because
30:01 we just had Naoya Inoue
30:03 last week look brilliant.
30:05 Two division undisputed. Terence Crawford
30:07 the first man to beat two division undisputed.
30:09 Now, Oleksandr Usyk,
30:11 a two division undisputed
30:13 champion. But the whole concept
30:15 of pound-for-pound came about.
30:17 What would happen if this guy
30:19 moved to heavyweight and could beat the heavyweight?
30:21 Well, Oleksandr Usyk did
30:23 just that. And it's different as
30:25 a heavyweight, too, because you're not
30:27 talking about seven-pound increments,
30:29 nine-pound increments, whatever.
30:31 Four-pound increments. You're talking about
30:33 you're going to an unlimited weight category
30:35 against basically
30:37 the tallest, longest
30:39 guy there's ever been.
30:41 Give credit to Bud Crawford
30:43 for saying that and coming out publicly.
30:45 Bud Crawford on ESPN pound-for-pound list.
30:47 As, by the way, you can see the action
30:49 between Lopez and Ortega hitting up
30:51 here in that neutral corner. We're going to continue
30:53 bringing you all the ringside
30:55 full coverage of this undercard leading up
30:57 to this title fight. And we do get
30:59 a stoppage here in this fight
31:01 as you see the action here.
31:03 Bernardo, do you want to chime in just quickly
31:05 on what we saw behind us? And then we will
31:07 continue on now, because this fight
31:09 is concluded. We will continue on
31:11 right here with full coverage of
31:13 Fury Usyk. But, Bernardo, just chime
31:15 in on what we just saw. >> Gio Lopez out of
31:17 Orlando, Florida, just stopped
31:19 Edgar "El Ciclón" Ortega from Mexicali.
31:21 Lopez, he is a fighter who
31:23 is trained by Eddie Reynoso
31:25 right here in San Diego, part of
31:27 Canelo Alvarez's camp.
31:29 And the most important thing is, his dad worked
31:31 the corner like he did throughout his amateur career
31:33 and early on in his career, because
31:35 Eddie Reynoso was in Saudi Arabia
31:37 with his fighter, Frank Sanchez,
31:39 who got knocked out
31:41 by Agit Kabayel. So,
31:43 we see what a brilliant fight we saw.
31:45 All action. The fighter from Mexicali,
31:47 he came in
31:49 with a good winning streak
31:51 of five fights,
31:53 three of them by knockout, but this young
31:55 man, he comes from a family of fighters.
31:57 His father used to fight
31:59 out in Puerto Rico, trained his
32:01 sisters to be fighters,
32:03 and now he's got this young man,
32:05 Gio, his daughter and a
32:07 younger son, and this young man,
32:09 he's on everybody's radar,
32:11 Joe, to be signed, because he's part of
32:13 Eddie Reynoso and Canelo's camp. >> That's a great
32:15 win, sir. And we have four more fights on this
32:17 undercard here. Then we have our two title
32:19 fights, but let's continue on
32:21 with our reaction to the undisputed
32:23 heavyweight championship of the world that took place
32:25 in Saudi Arabia and wrapped
32:27 up just moments ago. Alexander
32:29 Usyk, now the undisputed
32:31 heavyweight champion of the world with his
32:33 split decision win against Tyson
32:35 Free.
32:37 We were getting into the conversation
32:39 as to the size of Alexander
32:41 Usyk. As you chimed in and said,
32:43 "Bud Crawford has put out the tweet there."
32:45 Bud Crawford, who is the number one
32:47 pound-for-pound fighter in the world,
32:49 according to many of the lists,
32:51 according to our list at ESPN.com,
32:53 this is not an instant
32:55 reaction by us here
32:57 on the set of having this pound-for-pound
32:59 conversation. We said
33:01 prior to the Inouye fight
33:03 that if Alexander Usyk
33:05 goes out and defeats the
33:07 undefeated lineal
33:09 champion, it would be
33:11 obvious that most would have him
33:13 jump. Let's get the official decision from Mark Schnuck,
33:15 then we'll continue on with Fury Usyk conversation.
33:17 Ladies and gentlemen, here
33:19 inside Pechanga Arena,
33:21 this bout comes to a conclusion
33:23 at 2 minutes, 39
33:25 seconds of round number 8
33:27 for your winner by
33:29 knockout, Gio
33:31 LaRocca
33:33 Lopez!
33:35 Alright, so Gio Lopez is 15-0
33:37 with 11 knockouts.
33:39 The big undefeated story today is that of
33:41 Alexander Usyk. Alexander
33:43 Usyk with the split decision victory
33:45 a three over Tyson.
