00:00Okay, gentlemen, from here on down, it's low, okay?
00:05All I ask is a good, clean contest.
00:07Obey my commands and protect yourself at all times.
00:09If you want to touch up, touch it now, and I'll see you at the belt.
00:12Let's go.
00:13The action continues in the light heavyweight division.
00:31It's Emmitt Brennan in the green and red trunks.
00:36Devon Lee in the blue and white.
00:38Eddie Claudio is the third man in the ring.
00:42Nice right hand there by Devon Lee.
00:44This is an interesting matchup.
00:47Brennan, third pro fight, fighting a guy with 21 pro fights,
00:50and Lee is no slouch.
00:53Brennan, a 2020 Olympian, getting fast-tracked in the pros.
00:58If he gets the win tonight, he's certainly going to earn it,
01:01as Devon Lee has been in the ring over 20 times,
01:05has fought a lot of big prospects along the way,
01:09has fought some names that boxing fans would know as well.
01:14And Devon looks fit.
01:16He looks like he's in good shape tonight,
01:18more so than I've even seen him in the past.
01:21That is some good shots.
01:22Right hand over the top, a left hook right there.
01:24That's a little body shot on the inside as well from Lee.
01:27Brennan is a 2020 Olympian, only has two pro fights,
01:30but is 32 years old.
01:32Got a little bit of a late start to his amateur career.
01:35And it's interesting to point out,
01:37that he also does have close to 100 amateur fights, I believe.
01:41But Chris, I want to ask you, how much of an impact does it make?
01:45This is his first time fighting outside of the UK, outside of Europe.
01:49How much of an impact does that usually have on a fighter?
01:52It depends a lot with the individual.
01:54I mean, there's always the travel, the time difference.
01:56That's always going to affect you.
01:57Different foods, the travel can affect your weight loss or making weight.
02:02With a lot of amateur experience the way that he has,
02:04I'm sure he's traveled quite a bit.
02:06But still, very early in his pro career.
02:08And 100 amateur fights isn't that many for a guy with a big amateur background.
02:13You know, there are guys that have 200, 300 oftentimes coming from Europe.
02:19Nice uppercut from Lee there.
02:21Lee trying to find his legs here early in round one.
02:23Yeah, Lee has landed some really nice shots.
02:25There's actually a little swelling in the right eye from Brennan early on.
02:32It's Lee who's bouncing around on the balls of his feet.
02:36A little more flat-footed and pressing forward.
02:40I think he's also seeing some different looks from Lee that he hasn't seen yet.
02:43Especially in the pro ranks when you get those small gloves on, no headgear.
02:49Brennan's crafty.
02:51Stuck his tongue out right there after he landed a nice right hand.
02:58Very intrigued how this one plays out.
03:02This is for eight rounds in light heavyweight division.
03:06Emmitt Brennan.
03:08Coming out of Dublin, Ireland.
03:11Good shots there from Brennan.
03:15Got to figure he'll stick around New York City next week.
03:19I'm sure he's going to want to win.
03:22Stick around and hit up the pubs.
03:24Win or loss, he's going to be hitting up the pubs.
03:27I saw Conor McGregor was in New York City.
03:30Pouring some of his new Irish forged stout.
03:33Gave him a free pop there.
03:35A good competitive first round.
03:37A good first round there.
03:39Back and forth stuff.
03:41I guess it's fair to say too that Lee definitely made it clear that he's not here to just lay down for him.
03:47He's here to challenge him.
03:50Absolutely. I thought he landed the more telling blows throughout the round.
03:54That's easily a Devon Lee round in my sport.
03:58Don't let that 11-10-1 record fool you.
04:01Exactly. You've got to look past the numbers.
04:03You've got to look past the numbers with a guy like Lee.
04:06That's the thing about boxing insider promotions.
04:08That's the thing about club shows.
04:10It's not about the record.
04:12It's about matching guys up the right way.
04:15Giving tough rounds to an Emmitt Brennan.
04:17Giving tough rounds to a Chris Taylor.
04:19That we just saw in the last fight.
04:21I'm sure Emmitt Brennan could have found a guy, a walkover.
04:25It could have been matched up easily.
04:29But he chose Devon Lee.
04:32Which is respectable.
04:34I mean I guess coming from a pedigree, being the age that he is,
04:38from an amateur pedigree that he's coming from,
04:40I guess he does want to challenge himself early on.
04:42He's going to serve you well in your career if you want to move forward.
04:45Also fighting an eight-rounder.
04:46In his third pro fight.
04:48That's another big risk there.
04:50But I believe his last two fights too, Chris,
04:52have been either six and eight.
04:54Yeah, they're definitely starting them out fast.
04:56Now you see those Olympic rings on the inside of his left arm.
05:02I think that's like a prerequisite.
05:04If you are in the Olympics, you have to get that tattoo.
05:06Especially if you're a boxer.
05:08It's got to be visible.
05:10It's Lee who's now talking to Brennan.
05:15I like that pull right hand from Brennan.
05:18He's thrown that a couple of times too in the first round.
05:20That was the best one that landed thus far.
05:22Pull rides that jab back.
05:24Comes back with his own right hand.
05:29Nice reach in.
05:31Nice right hand from Brennan.
05:33Finds the mark.
05:35That's a good one.
05:36Nice right hand from Brennan.
05:38Finds the mark.
05:40Follows it up with a left hand.
05:42Best sequence of the fight for Brennan.
05:44Good body work too on the inside.
05:46Brennan doing a really nice job of holding his ground.
05:48Keeping his balance.
05:50And that comes with experience.
05:52Like we talked about all the amateur pedigree.
05:54Good right hand.
05:56He keeps finding that hold for that right hand.
05:58Lee does.
06:00He's tricky, man.
06:02That experience, I talked about that.
06:04That's that intangible.
06:06I really like that jab that he landed to the body.
06:09I've been in the gym with Lee for a year.
06:11It's been a long time.
06:13He's one of those guys.
06:15He has fun when he gets working.
06:17When he finds his flow, he'll let you know about it.
06:19He gets that flow state.
06:21He's definitely not intimidated by the Irishman tonight.
06:26He's willing to stand and trade and really stand in range.
06:29Which leads you to believe that he's not really that impressed with Brennan's power.
06:37Brennan from our vantage does look to be the bigger man of the two.
06:41I wouldn't say that the power looks to be anything that daunting.
06:46Nothing that Devon Lee hasn't seen.
06:54Nice body shot on the inside from Brennan.
06:57This round he's been putting some shots down low.
07:00I think that's a good idea.
07:02An eight round fight against an experienced guy.
07:03If anything, Devon Lee's going to give you rounds.
07:07His last fight went the distance.
07:09Before that went the distance.
07:11If you take a look at his box rack, it's all decisions.
07:15He's definitely no pushover.
07:18Also with Devon Lee, he's trying to win.
07:20He's not just a survivor in all those fights.
07:23A win over an Olympian like this would be great for Devon Lee.
07:26That was a good left hook from Devon Lee.
07:28Caught Brennan as he pulled out straight back.
07:30Both guys trading here at the end of round two.
07:34Better round for Brennan, but he got caught there at the end with a left hook.
07:40I would definitely give that round though to Brennan.
07:42I feel like those right hands earlier in the round were definitely landing easily.
07:47I agree 100%.
07:49Take a look at the action there from round two.
07:51Henry, it looks like Brennan got his legs a little bit under him
07:54and was able to fire off a few combinations.
07:58But it's not to say that Devon Lee did not have some good moments in there as well.
08:03The only difference between this round and the first round is that
08:05Brennan actually got off in combination.
08:07First round was a lot of one shots, missing some shots.
08:09He wasn't really comfortable finding his feet.
08:11That last round, round two, he was able to let some combination go
08:14as you saw from the replays.
08:17And it's going to be more interesting to see
08:19the deeper we go in the water,
08:21how much of that composure is Brennan going to be able to carry in.
08:24It's one thing being in deep water
08:26with guys that he's fought in the past
08:28who are probably not as challenging.
08:30And it's another thing when you're in deep water
08:32with a guy like Devon Lee.
08:34Round three was scheduled for eight
08:36in the lightweight, light heavyweight division.
08:39It's Emmitt Brennan in the dark green and gold.
08:44And he's going to be in the deep water.
08:46He's going to be in the deep water.
08:48He's going to be in the deep water.
08:50He's going to be in the deep water.
08:51Revolutionary, deep water.
08:53In the dark green and gold,
08:55Devon Lee in the blue and white,
08:57Henry DeLeon, Dan Quidovio,
08:59Chris Algieri.
09:01And the Irish are letting their voices be heard here.
09:04That's one thing you've got to love
09:06about the Irish, man,
09:08is that they come out and support their people.
09:11That's the beautiful thing about boxing,
09:13it's such a sport where it's rich
09:15in their nationalities and pride.
09:18We've seen such big Mexican crowds,
09:19Mexican crowds, we've seen big Irish crowds.
09:22Puerto Rican crowds, especially here in New York.
09:24Oh, yeah.
09:27Polish crowds in Chicago.
09:29I've seen Polish crowds in Brooklyn for Backey.
09:32Yeah, New York as well.
09:33That was a beautiful one, too, there with that.
09:34I mean, just connected.
09:36Yeah, Devont Lee came out in this round
09:37with a whole different mindset.
09:38He met Brandon right in the middle of the ring.
09:41He's standing his ground more this round,
09:42trying to trade, trying to assert himself,
09:44show himself that, show Brandon
09:45that he is the more experienced man.
09:48Beautiful body work right there by Devont Lee.
09:52Brandon, man, he's physically strong.
09:53He may not have big knockout power,
09:55but he's definitely a physically strong guy.
09:57He was able to back Devont Lee up
09:58just with his physicality.
10:00Good uppercut right there from the inside by Devont Lee.
10:02Lee is starting to land some shots there,
10:03and a little bit of a mouse starting to develop
10:05underneath the right eye of Emmett.
10:13It's a back and forth fight here we got, guys.
10:15Yeah, this round three has been the best one so far.
10:17These guys are just fighting at home booth at this point.
10:22Oh, big uppercut there from Brandon.
10:27Seems to me this is where Brandon likes to fight,
10:31in close, up against the robes.
10:33Doesn't mind getting rough in there.
10:35Nice triple uppercut there from Devont Lee off the robes.
10:38It seems like Devont Lee's just as comfortable as Brandon,
10:40and he's like, all right,
10:41this is where you want to fight, let's fight.
10:43I think Brandon's a little bit physically stronger,
10:45but Devont is craftier.
10:49He's able to find those holes.
10:51Which is interesting,
10:52because you would think that the Olympian
10:53would be the craftier fighter.
10:55Yeah, this is the pros, baby.
10:57It's a whole different world.
11:00Devont fires off a four-punch combination.
11:02And then spins off,
11:03tries to get back to the center of the ring.
11:06Nice little inside body shot there, too.
11:07Those little shots, man, a lot of times from the outside,
11:09people are like, oh, that was nothing.
11:10Oh, no, no, you feel those.
11:12Especially if you catch a guy breathing in.
11:14They all start to accumulate.
11:17Next thing you know, you got welts on your ribs.
11:20You got a mouse under your eye.
11:23Emmitt Brennan becomes that with a victory.
11:25He's going to earn this one.
11:27As Devont Lee is not just looking for a paycheck tonight,
11:31he's looking to win.
11:33Watch out for the overhand right from Devont Lee.
11:36Setting it up nicely with those stab jabs.
11:39You can see the determination in Devont Lee's face,
11:42like he is not going to back up here.
11:43He's going to be in front of Emmitt Brennan's face
11:46all night long.
11:47That was what I was saying about him coming in
11:48in such good condition.
11:49He looks lean.
11:50He looks like he put the work in.
11:51You can see it in his face, like you said.
11:54Those left hooks are landing beautifully
11:55for Devont Lee there.
11:56Nice double, triple hooks.
11:58There's that really nice uppercut.
11:59I think that was probably the best punch
12:00of the fight landed thus far for Brennan.
12:03It was a right uppercut on the inside.
12:05This was a very close fight, close round, sorry.
12:08Chris, Dan, who do you guys think won that round?
12:10That round looked like it was Emmitt.
12:12You can go with Emmitt Brennan in that one.
12:14I liked the work that he did
12:16when he had him up against the ropes.
12:18I liked Lee in that round.
12:19I thought that he landed the crappier shots.
12:21I liked how he came out right at the beginning of the round
12:23and met Brennan in the middle of the ring.
12:26A lot of ebbs and flows in that round.
12:32Look at Devont's face.
12:33You feel like, you can almost get that sense of feeling
12:35like he senses something.
12:38He senses the opportunity to win.
12:40Brennan's chomping at the bit
12:41to get to the center of that ring.
12:43Both fighters meet right in the center of that ring.
12:46Head to head, toe to toe here.
12:48Boxing insider.
12:51Ooh, good body shot there.
12:54High level stuff here from Emmitt Brennan and Devont Lee.
13:01Scheduled for eight rounds, light heavyweight division.
13:04There's that double left hook again.
13:06So it's Brennan who is the standout amateur
13:09who represented Ireland in the 2020 Olympics.
13:13As Devont Lee has had to earn it.
13:15Every win in his career has been earned.
13:1820 fight veteran.
13:23I've seen him get robbed a few times too.
13:25Beautiful overhead right, I'm sure he has.
13:28Coming up the ranks as the B-side.
13:30Ooh, nice chopping shots on the inside there from Devont Lee.
13:33He's chopping shots on the inside there from Devont Lee.
13:36Eddie Claudio is throwing a little time out here
13:37to try to get this one in order.
13:40Eddie Claudio has been around even longer than me,
13:45which is very odd.
13:53This is so far a very good round for Devont Lee.
13:56He's definitely been landing the cleaner shots in this round.
13:59In the last two rounds, he's starting out really good
14:01to see if he can hold on.
14:03His last round was the same thing.
14:04He started really good for the first minute and a half
14:05and then Brennan came back in the second half of the round.
14:10Nice counters there from Brennan.
14:12Nice shoot, good body work.
14:13Ninety seconds here to go in round four.
14:17Devont Lee getting some good work in here
14:19in the center of the ring.
14:22It seems like it's Devont Lee's ruggedness
14:24that's presenting some trouble
14:25for some challenges for Brennan here.
14:28I guess Brennan fired off the combination
14:30and Lee just was undaunted by it.
14:32He's still hammering to the body.
14:34Good, really good angles too.
14:36Good combination there by Devont Lee.
14:39Yeah, I don't think Brennan's used to letting
14:40his best self go and then have his opponent
14:42come right back at him with an answer each and every time.
14:52It's a good scrap, guys.
14:55Very competitive.
14:57Shout out to our matchmaker, Eric Botcher,
14:59one of the best matchmakers in the game right now.
15:08Right hand there, find the mark for Lee.
15:12Here comes Brennan.
15:17We'll see if the Irish contingent
15:18likes Eric Botcher at the end of this fight.
15:21Right now, Brennan's got all he can handle.
15:24Nice work here for Devont Lee.
15:33Devont Lee's shouting and hollering at Eric Brennan.
15:37Confidence growing for Lee.
15:40Which is a dangerous thing for a fighter to have.
15:42Yeah, a dangerous thing for a fighter like him to have.
15:44A guy with so much experience,
15:46he hasn't had a quality win in a while, this would be one.
15:50Wow, what a tremendous round for...
15:55You got Devont Lee?
15:57For Devont Lee, yes.
15:59Tremendous, tremendous round.
15:59So you have Devont Lee winning three in the first four.
16:02I have him one round up.
16:03Yes, I think the last round before this one
16:05was a little close,
16:05but I feel like he's landing the more effective shots.
16:17We're halfway through this round.
16:18Do you guys feel that Brennan is starting to question
16:22that he might have been a little bit more
16:25than he can chew?
16:25I think so.
16:28Yeah, I think Devont Lee is winning this fight.
16:30He's come on strong, especially the last couple of rounds.
16:33Finding his rhythm, feeling much more comfortable.
16:35Brennan at times is looking a little discouraged,
16:39looking for answers, but still a lot of fight left to go.
16:45And it's fair to say that in those 22 fights,
16:47Devont Lee has experienced tough fights.
16:50Brennan's experienced in the pros for tough fights.
16:53Yeah, but it's nothing like,
16:55there's experience and then get in there
16:57with a guy that has 20 pro fights.
16:59New York fighter.
17:01It's a whole different ball game in there.
17:07We're halfway through
17:09of what has been a really back and forth affair
17:12between Emmitt Brennan and Devont Lee.
17:16Thank you everyone that's watching
17:17over on the Boxing Insider YouTube page.
17:22Been a fun night of fights.
17:23Thursday night fights.
17:26I like midweek fights.
17:34Little shuffle there from Lee.
17:35Again, feeling confident, feeling comfortable
17:39in the ring tonight.
17:44Nice stab jabs down low.
17:46I feel like this round has landed some good body shots.
17:47Back right comes back.
17:49Brennan with a nice right hand down low himself.
17:51Those have been Lee's money shots.
17:53I feel those are the shots that have been creating
17:55these opportunities for him.
17:56Slashy left hand lands from Brennan.
17:58And a nice solid jab from Brennan as well.
18:02Oh, the body work.
18:03Down to the body.
18:04Heavy body work.
18:05Looks like Brennan's finding his second win.
18:09Yeah, I mentioned there's still a lot of fight left.
18:13It's Brennan who's the fresher of the two fighters.
18:16Excuse me, four years younger.
18:20Has the extensive amateur career,
18:22but only two pro fights.
18:27Devon Lee, 36 years old.
18:32Slowed a little bit down this round.
18:37Switching sides now.
18:38Finding out the southpaw position
18:39gets cracked with two shots.
18:42So, it's a good comeback round so far for Brennan.
18:46Yeah, this has been the best round of the fight
18:47so far.
18:55Irish faithful on their feet here inside of Sony Hall.
18:59Willing their man, Brennan Lee.
19:01Who is in a tough battle with the veteran Devon Lee.
19:07Here comes Lee in the center of the ring.
19:08Letting the hands go.
19:11Good body roll.
19:13And that was an outstanding combination
19:15right there from both guys.
19:17Yeah, Devon Lee was doing good work,
19:19letting his hands go,
19:19and then Brennan came right back with a big left hook.
19:21That spun the head of Lee around.
19:25Final 30 seconds.
19:27Excellent round here for Brennan.
19:31Nice comeback round after the last two.
19:37Beauty of a left hand there from Brennan too.
19:39Definitely having the best round of the fight.
19:41Wish I brought my poncho.
19:42These guys are spraying sweat all over the ring.
19:45I take sweat over blood any day of the week.
19:49Covered in blood in San Juan last weekend.
19:57Nice.
19:59Some good exchanges we had in this round.
20:00Action heating up here at Sony Hall.
20:05Some good exchanges.
20:06Brennan definitely had the better of this round.
20:10I think that Brennan seemed more dominant.
20:12This has been the more dominant round.
20:14Through five rounds on Henry DeLeon's
20:17unofficial scorecard.
20:19He has
20:21Devon Lee up three rounds to two.
20:23To two.
20:36Now it's interesting to see how Devon Lee's response
20:39coming off of a round like that.
20:41That round was obviously dominant for Emmitt.
20:43And up until that point, Devon has been very confident.
20:45So it'd be exciting to see how he bounces back
20:48and how he regains that confidence this next round.
21:03Round six underway.
21:04We're gonna take a look at the
21:07left hand of Brennan that needs to be re-taped.
21:14Doesn't seem like Brennan is that exhausted.
21:18Devon Lee's corner is not having any part of that.
21:22Old veteran trick.
21:24Buy some more time as both fighters meet
21:26in the center of the ring and let the hands go.
21:32See this is that body language that Devon came out
21:34a few rounds ago where he had a really good round.
21:37Coming forward, meeting Brennan in the center of the ring.
21:39Nice body work there for Brennan.
21:52You heard the corner say over the top.
21:53Brennan heard, heeded that suggestion
21:59and came with that right hand right over the top.
22:00And you see the mouth of Devon Lee is open this round.
22:05I thought he slowed down a little bit in round five.
22:07He ended round five pretty strong,
22:09but that was a clear round for Brennan.
22:11And maybe you're seeing, you know, all those mileage,
22:15all those miles, I should say,
22:16of Devon Lee starting to show a little bit.
22:18Hey, you know what I'm seeing?
22:19I'm seeing all that body work from Brennan early on.
22:21That too.
22:21He has been tricky with his shots on the inside.
22:23Devon hasn't shown that they were affecting him,
22:25but maybe this could be the effect of that.
22:29There could be a lot of factors.
22:31Gotta give credit to Brennan.
22:34Switching up his game plan a little bit,
22:35weathering that storm from Lee
22:38and digging down to the body, Henry.
22:40You see what I mean about the physicality of Brennan?
22:42He was able to just literally walk Devon Lee to the rope.
22:46Here he is doing it again.
22:47Not throwing punches, not being very physical,
22:49but just using his size to push Devon Lee back.
22:53Ooh, good left hook upstairs.
22:55Take care of yourself.
23:02About two rounds ago, Brennan found the left hook,
23:06and that's been one of the best weapons he's had all night.
23:08Since he discovered it, for sure.
23:11Blood on the nose from Brennan now.
23:16We got a minute to go here in round six.
23:18We're scheduled for eight light heavyweight divisions.
23:21Emmitt Brennan, the 2020 Olympian,
23:23weathering the storm against a battle-tested Devon Lee.
23:29Really good fight here.
23:30Breaking out in Sony Hall.
23:32Big right hands, two of them from Brennan.
23:35Oh, snaps the head back at Devon Lee.
23:37Devon Lee says, that don't hurt.
23:39That didn't phase me.
23:41I almost want to say that Brennan is having difficulty
23:43breathing from his nose.
23:44Just look at the way he's breathing from his mouth.
23:46Saw that too, Henry.
23:48That's a great point.
23:49He's literally opening his mouth, picking his head up,
23:52trying to get breaths in.
23:54Good body work there from Lee.
23:56Possibly sensing that he's having trouble breathing,
23:58being the experienced veteran that he is.
24:16Close round.
24:21I like the work from Brennan in this round.
24:23I like the left hooks, I like that double right hand
24:25and that big hard jab to pop the head back of Devon Lee.
24:28Take a look at some of the action there in round six.
24:31Bang, good, nice double right hand there from Brennan.
24:33Flick, flick.
24:35He keeps those punches short.
24:36They're very dangerous.
24:39Good stuff there from Emmitt Brennan,
24:41who has seized some of the momentum in this fight.
24:44Henry, how do you have it through six?
24:46I have it pretty even.
24:47I got three-three each one.
24:48Dead even.
24:49Dead even.
24:50I had the same.
24:51Listen, regardless of who ends up coming
24:53in the victory to this fight,
24:54this is great experience for someone like Emmitt Brennan.
24:57Absolutely, I mean, come on.
25:00This is his third professional fight.
25:02Fighting Devon Lee is like fighting 10 bouts,
25:0610 four-rounders.
25:07You remember a guy named Derrick Finley?
25:08Yeah.
25:09He was the guy that was always
25:11on the Broadway boxing circuit.
25:13Another guy, he was like a guy that would always give
25:16young fighters a round.
25:17Went the distance to everybody, knocked off some guys.
25:19Yeah.
25:21I remember coming to a Broadway boxing
25:23and he had a giant hematoma on his head.
25:25Yeah, that's right, that's right.
25:27That was a wild night.
25:28But he could punch too,
25:29like he would knock guys out every once in a while.
25:31That was a very dangerous guy to fight.
25:33Not saying him and Devon Lee fight the same style,
25:35but they're the same type of fighter
25:37that are gonna get in that ring, look to win,
25:39but also look to take out a young prospect.
25:42Same category of fighter at this point.
25:44So important to the sport of boxing.
25:47That's Devon Lee in the blue trunks,
25:49Simon Brennan in the dark green and gold.
25:57If I'm Brennan here, I'm putting on the heat.
26:00I know he's having some trouble breathing.
26:01You see him folding around with his mouthpiece in there
26:03because I think that nosebleed, like you mentioned, Henry,
26:06is giving him a problem,
26:07but he's gotta take advantage of that youthful exuberance.
26:10But he's landed some really good shots to Devon Lee
26:13and he hasn't seen the effects take on Devon Lee
26:16like he would like.
26:17Do you not think that it would be better
26:19if he just maybe goes back into his boxing
26:21and instead of trying to land these big shots
26:23to start scoring points?
26:24I don't think so because Devon is the older guy
26:27who's been slowing down.
26:28If you let him control the pace, let his experience shine,
26:31he's gonna be able to keep the rounds at least close
26:33if not win them.
26:36I would say keep the pace up.
26:40Make those old legs work.
26:42Henry has it, a three-three.
26:45Let's see what these judges have it.
26:48In that type of fight, back and forth stuff,
26:50it was Devon Lee early.
26:53Emmitt Brennan woke up somewhere around the fourth round
26:57and has taken over a lot of the momentum in this fight,
27:00but don't count Devon Lee out.
27:02We're talking about a guy with 20 pro fights,
27:05been in the ring with some of the bigger names in the sport
27:08on the women's side of things.
27:10Some of the bigger names in the sport,
27:12on the regional level, I should say.
27:15If Emmitt Brennan wants to reach
27:17that world title contender,
27:20he's gotta get past guys like Devon Lee.
27:23Good body work there from Devon Lee on the inside.
27:26Tell you what, Lee is still coming forward.
27:30Having a good round, letting his hands go on the inside.
27:32It's a huge pivotal round.
27:35Swing round.
27:40I don't like how Brennan keeps fumbling around
27:42with his mouthpiece there.
27:44What do you think that is?
27:45I mean, is he doing something to the jaw?
27:47Henry, I think you hit him right on the head.
27:49He's having trouble breathing.
27:51Or it could also just be that maybe
27:52his mouthpiece isn't fitted correctly.
27:56I think that would be a colossal mistake from the corner.
28:00He just spit it out.
28:01I mean, it's 2024.
28:02If guys still are using boiling bite mouthpieces
28:05to fight pro fights, I'd be really worried about that.
28:09Final 15 seconds, here comes Devon Lee.
28:11Wow.
28:13Seems to be a cut open for Brennan there.
28:16Now we got blood pouring down the left eye
28:19of Emmett Brennan.
28:21Mouthpiece is out.
28:22I mean, talk about adversity.
28:24Cut on the outside of the eye.
28:25Doesn't look like it's in a bad spot.
28:27Doesn't look to be a bad cut either.
28:29Can't really see it great from our vantage, but.
28:31Listen, you're in your first fight in New York City.
28:34Right before St. Paddy's Day.
28:37Right, and you're fighting a guy that has 20 pro fights.
28:40You got blood pouring out of your eye.
28:42Your mouthpiece doesn't fit.
28:44You can't breathe.
28:45You got Dan Canovio calling your fight.
28:48How much worse can it get?
28:49That's the least of his troubles.
28:55Great action heading to the eighth and final round.
28:57That's what it's all about.
28:59Boxing Insider bringing these developmental shows
29:02where you see a guy like Emmett Brown,
29:04who was an Olympian.
29:06In there with a battle-tested guy in Devon Lee.
29:09Who would you guys give that last round to?
29:11I give it to Devon Lee.
29:12I agree.
29:13Yeah, I got Devon up 4-3.
29:15I mean, this fight is very much up for grabs
29:17here in the last round.
29:20On our scorecards, barring a knockdown or a knockout.
29:25Yeah, I mean, we're entering draw territory.
29:27It's been that kind of fight all night long,
29:28so I'm not that surprised.
29:31How about this?
29:32It's Devon Lee standing up with about 10 seconds to go.
29:37And it's Emmett Brennan.
29:39The 36-year-old with 10 losses
29:40and the first one to stand up.
29:42Love that.
29:43Ahead of the last round.
29:44Gotta love that.
29:46Eighth and final round.
29:49Emmett Brennan and Devon Lee.
29:52Ooh, good overhand right.
29:56On our unofficial scorecards,
29:57we have Devon Lee up one round.
30:00And Devon is feeling very confident right now.
30:03Brennan's got to put on a real show here
30:05in that last round.
30:07Blood from the eye already.
30:09Yeah, I think rounds five and six
30:11is when Brennan took over the fight
30:13and then he let Devon Lee back into this fight
30:15in round seven.
30:18I think a lot of that was when the breathing problems
30:20started to happen in round seven.
30:26Maybe it's his jaw.
30:27It could potentially be a jaw injury
30:29because he is constantly chewing on that mouthpiece now.
30:34We'll have to hear from Brennan afterwards,
30:36win, lose, or draw,
30:37on what was bothering him in this fight.
30:40Could also be hearing from a potential winner here,
30:43Devon Lee, would be a massive win for him.
30:47I kept saying from the beginning,
30:48pros and the amateurs are different.
30:49I don't care how much amateur experience you have,
30:51the pros are a different game.
30:53How are the judges seeing this fight?
30:57The tale of two fights, at least in my opinion,
30:59early on, it was Devon Lee,
31:00boxing and moving.
31:02And McBrennan got those middle rounds.
31:05How did these judges see these final two rounds?
31:09Early on, it was a little bit tough to score.
31:12It wasn't that clear.
31:13Like you said, Dan, those middle rounds,
31:14the last round, it's been clear,
31:16but I'm curious to see how the judges have it.
31:19Ooh, nice uppercut on the inside for Brennan.
31:21Cops the head up of Devon Lee.
31:23A flashy uppercut from Brennan.
31:24All those punches count here in his final round.
31:27It's in moments like this, when they're this close,
31:29that Devon seems to take advantage
31:31and Emmitt just tries to smother.
31:34And the referee isn't jumping in or breaks.
31:36Ooh, big shots.
31:39One minute to go, both fighters going toe-to-toe here.
31:42Boxing insider promotions.
31:45One minute to go, and this round is still up for grabs.
31:47This fight is up for grabs as well.
31:50Ooh, the body shot.
31:51The Emmitt-Brennan faithful.
31:53One last rally cry for their guy.
31:57Oh, big right hand from Brennan over the top.
31:59I think Brennan's doing just enough to steal this round.
32:02Are we headed to draw territory?
32:05Are we headed to a split decision for Devon Lee?
32:09Who works with Devon, wow.
32:10Who says, you know what?
32:11I'm going to go for it.
32:12I'm going to go for it.
32:13I'm going to go for it.
32:14I'm going to go for it.
32:15I'm going to go for it.
32:16I'm going to go for it.
32:17I'm going to go for it.
32:18I'm going to go for it.
32:19I'm going to go for it.
32:20I'm going to go for it.
32:21You know what?
32:22I'm going to hammer to the body real quick.
32:23There's a lot of determination at this round.
32:24Good trading right hands there.
32:28Last 20 seconds.
32:33Emmitt-Brennan-Devon Lee battling out.
32:41We go to the scorecards here in Times Square.
32:45Beautiful round.
32:46Good finish there.
32:47What a fight.
32:49What a great fight.
32:54I'll be honest with you fellas.
32:55I gave that last round to Devon Lee.
33:00If that's the case, then you have Devon Lee winning five of each round.
33:03I think so.
33:04I mean, he's very impressive.
33:07The determination that he came in with.
33:10It's raining Irish flags here.
33:12I think it could be a draw.
33:13Possibly.
33:14I mean.
33:15I didn't score.
33:16You scored.
33:17I'm going to lean on you, Henry.
33:18Listen, man.
33:19I would give that last round to Devon.
33:20If that's so, then I have Devon winning.
33:21Close, close round.
33:22Will Devon Lee get a decision?
33:23It's his hometown.
33:24It's not the A side.
33:25It's his hometown.
33:26It is his hometown, but it's not the A side.
33:27You never know.
33:28He is the B side.
