00:00They circled on the schedule, but hey, if you believe what he's saying and the way he's he's carrying himself
00:10Let me tell you something, referee. This man fought Chavez. He fought Chavez.
00:13He fought Chavez. He fought Chavez. He fought Chavez.
00:15And he was giving it. And he was giving him some roofed off.
00:19Here we go with round number one, ladies and gentlemen.
00:21Ice to Sparwood.
00:23Talavera with a jab to the solar plexus, to the stomach.
00:26Oh, tries to land, surprises the opponent, tries to surprise the opponent with an overhand right, Talavera.
00:32Moving nice.
00:34But it didn't face off Felix.
00:36He's throwing it, though.
00:38Felix not doing much the first 15 seconds of the fight, but still early.
00:42He's sizing him up.
00:44Talavera's moving a lot.
00:47Hoping he don't run into nothing.
00:49Talavera looking for that wild overhand right.
00:52I hope Felix keeps that hand up, that jab, cover up that overhand.
00:56Or he rolls and throws his own right hand.
00:58Someone just came up to us before we got on and was like, hey, this is going to be the fight.
01:03But we already knew that. We were already excited after yesterday's weigh-in.
01:08Once again, Talavera throws a wild overhand right, but does not connect.
01:14I like his focus.
01:16Talavera or Pedefi?
01:19Talavera.
01:21Talavera.
01:22Pedefi's popping that jab. When he lands it on the gloves, it sounds hard.
01:25No, no, you can tell he's built stockiness, you know, and can punch by his physique.
01:30Or it looks like he can punch.
01:31Oh, good left.
01:32Short left hook by Yesner.
01:35You know, I love the fact that he's coming in and not acting like he's your opponent.
01:39No, no, no.
01:40He's legitimately...
01:41Yes.
01:42He wants to win.
01:43He got hit in the right hand.
01:44A good one, too, by Pedefi.
01:45Felix Santana Jr.
01:47Felix showing a lot of poise, a lot of patience.
01:51Being a young fighter, that's a beautiful thing to see.
01:53Good body shot by Yesner.
01:55Good body shot, body jab by Felix.
01:58Felix Santana lands straight jab to the stomach, to the breadbasket.
02:04He's got...
02:05Oh.
02:07Felix is tight. They sharp tonight.
02:09No, Yesner made it clear.
02:10He has to win by knockout, or he has to beat him up every round to get a victory.
02:15And Felix Santana, even though he's from Ocala, this is pretty much his backyard.
02:19There's a mouse under Yesner's eye right now.
02:21Under the left eye.
02:24Little mouse.
02:25It looks like a rat developing.
02:30Felix has the crowd pretty quiet for this fight.
02:34They're waiting for that...
02:35See?
02:36See that mouse?
02:38Guajadita.
02:40Pushes his opponent to the ropes.
02:44He's waiting for referee to...
02:46He's telling the referee he's dizzy, but he's holding him around the waist.
02:51Good right hand by Felix Santana.
02:56Reggie Caldwell.
02:57Still early, 20 seconds left in round number one.
03:00Ooh, good hook.
03:02Good kind of hook by Felix.
03:03Felix is landing...
03:04Calavera acknowledges, also good one, too.
03:08Last 10 seconds of round number one.
03:11Felix looking good.
03:13Oh, good left hand by Calavera.
03:20You know, Nate, this is professional.
03:22You can give a 10-10.
03:24No, no, no, we're not doing 10-10.
03:25No, we're not doing 10-10.
03:26No, no, no way.
03:27It's a 10-9 match.
03:29But hold that, hold that thought, hold that thought.
03:31Who do you...
03:32Nate, who do you think pulled that first round off?
03:34In fact, before you say that, before you say that,
03:36talk to me about the highlights, Frisco.
03:38What do you see?
03:39You know, Calavera is doing some bombs.
03:43But he wasn't landing with much of them.
03:44But Pay-to-Fee was landing.
03:46He landed a better shot.
03:47A cleaner shot?
03:48Absolutely.
03:49Yeah, so I have to give him a round.
03:50I'm not giving it to him because I want to.
03:52I'm giving it to him because I have to.
03:55I would have rather have been...
03:56I would have rather have been Pay-to-Fee.
03:59So you're going for quantity, not quantity?
04:02Dude, he threw the most, but he landed the least.
04:07Shots land.
04:08Here we go with round number two.
04:10Round two for four rounds in the lightweight division.
04:12This is the way class used to dominate in your time.
04:16Yes, sir.
04:17Frisco.
04:18No, I mean, Nate.
04:19Frisco, how high did you go up when you...
04:21I went to...
04:22I fought a title at 132.
04:24132, okay.
04:27Oh, good overhand right by Feliciano.
04:29Don't say no.
04:30Those little guys.
04:31Calavera acknowledges it.
04:32So he says no, but that means yes.
04:35You landed on me.
04:36But that means it hurt.
04:37Yeah.
04:38No, I didn't.
04:40When I said it, I really meant it.
04:45The lightweight division loaded from top to bottom
04:48with a bunch of fighters.
04:49I don't think so.
04:50No?
04:51Devin Haney?
04:52Okay.
04:53Tank?
04:54Well, Devin Haney moving up to 40.
04:55Dude, if you're saying loaded,
04:58when you say loaded, it's got to be loaded like it was
05:01back in the day.
05:02When you were fighting?
05:03Yeah.
05:04It was loaded.
05:05So you got four, maybe five guys.
05:06Okay.
05:07Nice exchange, finally.
05:09Pisa Cruz.
05:10I'm going to give you a few.
05:12I gave you six.
05:13I need four more.
05:14We was 15 deep.
05:16Felix Santana sticks his tongue out,
05:18showboating a little bit.
05:19Very confident.
05:20Very cocky.
05:21Calavera is landing some more.
05:23He's being the most aggressive in this fight.
05:25Yeah, but you don't count the shots that land on him.
05:28Felix having fun in there.
05:29Yeah, but Felix is not throwing enough.
05:31Hey, he told me, Will, this guy is going to pay the fee.
05:34He could pay it before,
05:36but he's definitely going to pay it after.
05:39Felix, good guy, man.
05:40Great guy.
05:41Yeah.
05:46Good defense.
05:47Yeah.
05:48See, Felix is throwing shots.
05:51Felix is trying to throw shots and smother.
05:53Throw shots and smother.
05:54See, that's the kind of stuff that-
05:55Felix or Calavera?
05:56Oh, Calavera.
05:57Calavera.
05:58Yeah, no, I got you.
05:59Oh, good body shot.
06:00Good body shot.
06:02Good defense shown by Calavera.
06:05Felix had a flurry, but nothing landed.
06:09He's just being aggressive.
06:10You know, he's putting-
06:11He's keeping Felix in the ropes.
06:13Trying to let him out.
06:14Good short right hand,
06:15chopping right hand by Felix three times in a row.
06:20Felix is boxing the life out of this guy right now.
06:22Yeah, he's showing good-
06:23Great footwork.
06:24Great footwork by Felix Santana to get off the ropes.
06:26And he's putting shots together nice.
06:27But his problem is he ain't putting-
06:30If you had a judge like Francisco-
06:32Good defense.
06:33If you had a judge like Francisco,
06:38all the punches.
06:39All of them.
06:40Calavera flurries, but nothing landing.
06:43Felix is landing the most, the better punches.
06:45He is landing the stronger.
06:47And he's showing great defense.
06:49Now, is Felix-
06:50Good combination.
06:51Is he laying too much on the ropes, Francisco?
06:54A little bit, but yeah,
06:55but he's still being aggressive
06:56and he's still landing some good shots.
06:58Now, Calavera doesn't look like he's pushing him to the ropes.
07:01Why is Felix going back to the ropes, Nate?
07:04That's a good question.
07:07Why is he going on the ropes?
07:08Does he like working on the ropes?
07:09I like working on the ropes.
07:10So, I mean-
07:11But you're not fighting.
07:12I'm talking about Felix Santana.
07:13I mean, so I can't think for him.
07:14I don't know why.
07:15I mean-
07:16Last couple seconds of round number two.
07:17And he's landing a better shot.
07:18That brings us to the end of round number two.
07:20There's a nick on the face.
07:22He's landing hard shots off the ropes.
07:25He really is.
07:26He has a cut.
07:27There's a cut on the cheek.
07:29Oh, it is.
07:30But, but, well-
07:32Nate, talk to me.
07:33I like the rope.
07:34What do you see?
07:36I see Felix landing very good clean shots.
07:38Not saying he's not-
07:39This guy's in the round, but he's not landing.
07:42Felix is landing hard, clean shots.
07:45What up, Marky?
07:47I'm about to introduce to you guys an up-and-coming, well-to-weight in the Tampa Bay area.
07:55So, give me a few seconds.
07:56I got you.
07:57Mark Reyes, MRJ, joining us, man.
08:02Hey, a pleasure, man.
08:03How you feeling?
08:04How's training?
08:06It's been great, fellas.
08:07I'm excited.
08:08You just coming off a fight?
08:09Yeah, about, what, eight weeks ago?
08:11Winning by unanimous decision.
08:12It's been a little long, so I'm ready to get back.
08:14Hey, man, I see the beard.
08:15Oh, yeah.
08:16Everything's growing.
08:17Oh, that's right.
08:18Here we go with round number three, guys.
08:19TMI.
08:22Oh, good one, too, by Felix.
08:25Felix is separating himself by simply being sharp.
08:29Now, what can he do to separate himself even more?
08:32Go to the body.
08:34Go to the body.
08:35Go to the body.
08:36Go to the body.
08:37Go to the body.
08:38Okay.
08:39Talavera, see what Talavera's doing?
08:40He's trying to close the gap and smother.
08:41He's not punching.
08:42Mark, is this the first time you're seeing either fighter?
08:44This is the first time I'm seeing Felix Santana.
08:47Okay.
08:48And I have seen Talavera once at a Pro Box show.
08:52What I noticed from him, he's a tough, rugged guy.
08:54He's gonna come in like a bull every time, and pretty much
08:56what I'm seeing today.
08:57Good hook.
08:58Good check hook.
08:59Double hook.
09:00Talavera bleeding from his right cheek.
09:04That's probably a testament to the left hooks that have been
09:05landed.
09:06Yeah.
09:07He's getting hit with them.
09:11Now, I would say I'd like to see from Felix a little bit of
09:14punch selection.
09:15He needs to settle down and find his shots.
09:17But, you know, at the times that he does, great right hand
09:21that he came in to.
09:22There it is.
09:23Once again, chopping, coming down with it.
09:26The thing about it is when you say shot selection, what you
09:30gotta remember is this here.
09:32He's only six, seven fights into his career.
09:34He doesn't understand he don't have to fight with him.
09:37That's something that comes with him.
09:39Oh, excellent overhand right.
09:40Should have threw the uppercut behind it.
09:43Now, are you impressed, Marky, with Felix Santana so far?
09:47Oh, absolutely.
09:48The skill set's there.
09:49Great potential.
09:50And he's only six, seven fights in.
09:52I mean, I see a lot of great habits from him so far.
09:57Obviously, things to work on.
09:59But decent fighter.
10:02He's doing really well.
10:03And back to the ropes.
10:05Felix goes.
10:06Still, still working.
10:08Not giving up.
10:09Not quitting.
10:10Showing a lot of heart.
10:11The cut's not bad.
10:12Under the, well, on the right chin.
10:15It's under the eye, so it's not affecting him at all.
10:19Oh, Felix got hurt.
10:20Felix got hurt.
10:21Oh, Felix is hurt.
10:23Felix is hurt.
10:24Oh, what a turn of events.
10:27And this was something that I noticed in the second round.
10:31He was wobbled momentarily by a right hand that was so subtle.
10:35Talavera trying to pull off the upset.
10:38No, he's not.
10:40Felix is hurt.
10:41Hanging on.
10:43Fighting back.
10:44Smart move.
10:45He's fighting smart.
10:46Talavera growing with confidence.
10:49Trying to land one shot.
10:51And if the truth be told, he's still winning the round.
10:54What a great fight so far.
10:56Felix was, Felix Santana was controlling and then just got caught.
11:00What shot?
11:01He got caught.
11:02A subtle right hand.
11:03It was a subtle right hand.
11:05And he still landed.
11:06Felix is hurt.
11:07He's still out on his feet.
11:10We're down to the last 10 to 15 seconds of round number three.
11:13What a turn of events.
11:16Oh, nice combination.
11:19Left hook by Felix Santana.
11:21Felix has no idea what he's at.
11:23No, he doesn't.
11:24He doesn't.
11:25But I tell you what.
11:26We play survival.
11:27Did he lose the round?
11:29No, no.
11:30Excuse me.
11:31Excuse me.
11:32Now, Crystal, tell me if you see where he got hurt.
11:35He got hit with a hook.
11:36Right there.
11:37He got hit with a hook.
11:38Right there.
11:39Right there.
11:40Before that was a hook.
11:41Well, the second one is the one that probably did the most damage.
11:45But he still kept fighting.
11:48I can't even give him the round.
11:50Now, Nate, we don't know.
11:52That's going to be a pivotal round.
11:54You have to give him the round.
11:55The third round is going to be a pivotal round.
11:57Can it be a 10-8 round?
11:58No.
11:59Can it be a 10-8 round?
12:00It can't be.
12:01He didn't go down.
12:02But he got beat up real bad.
12:04He landed more punches.
12:08He just said that.
12:10But this is not amateur's professional.
12:12Oh, God.
12:13The harder the punches.
12:15He landed eight hard shots.
12:17Here we go with the fourth and final round.
12:19Very, very important.
12:21In professional boxing, one punch can win you the whole round.
12:25And Talavera comes back strong, looking to see if Felix Santana is still wobbly on his legs.
12:33Of course he is.
12:34If he don't go down, it's going to be a draw.
12:38Felix still holding on.
12:41Now, should the referee be letting him fight?
12:44Why did he separate?
12:45What was the reason?
12:47Oh, good body shot.
12:48Let him work it out.
12:51Good body shot.
12:53Still a little bit dazed, but trying to pull this victory.
12:57Throwing some harder punches.
12:59He's throwing good shots.
13:02I tell you what, I can't wait to interview whoever wins this fight.
13:06It's going to be a draw.
13:07I got a lot of questions.
13:08It's going to be a draw.
13:11Oh!
13:13Was that a knockdown?
13:15No, it was not.
13:16His knee did not touch the canvas.
13:18Back and forth.
13:19What a fight, ladies and gentlemen.
13:22Oh!
13:23Oh, nice.
13:24Pay attention.
13:25We told you all it was a fight of the night.
13:32What a fight.
13:34Felix showing great courage from the heart.
13:38It's more than a minute and a half left.
13:40They got the whole half a round to go.
13:45Talavera still staying in Felix's chest.
13:47Lands a wild right hand.
13:50Felix must have gasped after that.
13:53Pulls Talavera behind the head.
13:55Trying to catch a break.
13:56Felix is hurt.
13:57Yeah.
13:59Good jab.
14:00First of all, have you been hurt like Felix has been hurt before?
14:03Oh, good overhead right.
14:05Let me tell you, if it doesn't hurt, I'm in trouble.
14:07Hey, Talavera is walking through everything Felix has to offer.
14:11Both guys are cut.
14:12Both guys are cut.
14:13Talavera opens a cut on Felix Santana's left eyebrow.
14:20The corner of the left eyebrow.
14:22Less than a minute left and they're still going at it.
14:25And Felix is landing such decent shots.
14:28Amazing.
14:30These kids, they got to do this again.
14:34I mean, you got to give credit to both fighters.
14:36One is just being aggressive, trying to survive.
14:39And it's survival.
14:41Right.
14:42It's crazy.
14:44Since the third round, Felix has been on shaky legs.
14:47But still fighting.
14:48Nice right hand by Felix.
14:50Yeah.
14:51Nice counter.
14:52Catch the counter.
14:53Nice stuff.
14:56As long as he don't go down, this fight is a draw.
14:59Felix moving around a lot.
15:01Do you think he's?
15:03Oh.
15:04He caught him.
15:05Talavera comes back.
15:06Felix with a short, crisp, check hook.
15:09The last 10 seconds of the fourth and final round.
15:12What a heck of a fight, ladies and gentlemen.
15:16Oh, my God.
15:17This fighter is fighting to the bell.
15:19And that brings us to the end.
15:21What a great fight.
15:23Hey, you want to have to do this interview together.
15:26Because I have a lot of questions.
15:30All of a sudden, two rounds to two.
15:32Hey, Talavera kept his promise.
15:35He said he was going to come to win.
15:38Look at his face.
15:39Talk to me about the highlights.
15:40There it is.
15:41There's the hook.
15:42I would not be surprised if Talavera wins the fight.
15:47He lost the first two rounds.
15:49But look what he did the last two.
15:51You can't give him a 10-day run if he don't go down.
15:53Hey, we're going to find out if you guys are right or wrong.
15:56The three judges that were scoring this contest, extremely,
16:00extremely experienced judges.
16:02Brian Gary, Dennis Daubon.
16:04Sami Shipman is relatively known.
16:07But Brian Gary and Dennis Daubon have been in the boxing game for a very,
16:11very long time.
16:12Over 20 years.
16:13We're about to see their scorecards.
16:15Write it down.
16:16Nate, what do you have?
16:17I have a draw.
16:18You have a draw.
16:19Frisco, what do you have?
16:20He has it for the Spanish guy.
16:22No, no, no.
16:23Let him answer his question.
16:24I think Talavera might have pulled it off.
16:26You think Talavera might have pulled off this victory?
16:28We're about to find out.
16:30So you gave him two 10-8 rounds?
16:32No.
16:34Then how did he win?
16:35He lost the first two rounds.
16:36How do you give Felix a 10?
16:38He won the first two rounds.
16:4010-10.
16:41Say 10-9 both rounds.
16:44Let's see.
16:45Hey, I need you guys.
16:47Hey, don't start fighting.
16:49We might have an exhibition here.
16:51I'm bringing all my dirty tricks because he's bringing all of his.
16:56I got plenty.
16:57Bob has the scorecards.
16:58I'm going to throw it back to Bob from Colorado Boxing Hall of Famer.
17:01Ring announcer Bob Alexander.
17:03This is a good fight.
17:04We're about to find out right now in just a few minutes who the winner is.
17:20Touch.
17:21Now, Nate.
