00:00Mattie Sheehan, I saw him out of box and I thought he was off the box, but he's two southpaws.
00:05Okay, protect yourselves at all times, touch them up, come out on the ring, bell.
00:12Is it going to be a fight between two southpaws? I'm sure it is.
00:18They're leaving each other out then I suppose.
00:21Sheehan possesses the power, Miller probably possesses the better ring craft, and a very, very awkward customer.
00:29Round one, here we go.
00:43Lucas Miller, a very snappy southpaw indeed.
00:48Fast hand.
00:51I'll tell you what, what a show we've had tonight though, gentlemen.
00:55Yeah, we've seen a bit of everything, Mark.
00:59The debut of Premier Boxing 7 plus here in Melbourne tonight as well,
01:03proud to be a part of it alongside you two.
01:05Oh, what a left hand from Lucas Miller, Sheehan went down hard.
01:09He's bad, he's gone, he's gone, this fight's over.
01:12This fight's over.
01:13Still unsteady on his feet.
01:15He's going to let it go on, but he's going to get stopped.
01:19Take a step to the side.
01:20National title.
01:21Wowee, what an upset.
01:25Miller planted him.
01:28So Miller with just the three knockouts to his name,
01:31but he has got Matt Sheehan in really deep water in the opening stanza.
01:37Two minutes to go.
01:43It was a peach of a left hand.
01:46Hang on, will he be able to get out of the box?
01:50Oh, he's landed it again, and again, and again, it's all over.
01:54Towel's gone in, fight's called off.
01:58Stunning performance from the thriller Lucas Miller,
02:01with a statement knockout in the first round of Matt Sheehan
02:04to retain his Australian Light Heavyweight crown with a spectacular display.
02:09Well, Sulis also threw the towel at the same time,
02:13looking after his fighter, but wow, that's an upset.
02:15We thought that was going to be like an absolute battle.
02:20Miller straight to the point early in round one.
02:23Well, gentlemen, there was nothing on Lucas Miller's record to suggest
02:26with just the three knockouts in 19 fights
02:29that he possessed that power to get a tough hombre
02:32like Matt Sheehan out of there like that.
02:34Well, it just shows you that when you land that one clean shot
02:36when you're cold before your body's warmed up
02:39and you can be out of there.
02:41Let me pose this question to you.
02:42Do you think it could have been a strategy
02:44knowing that Sheehan hadn't been in the ring for so long?
02:48They've gone, you know what, don't give him time to settle.
02:51Jump on him straight away.
02:52Make him uncomfortable from the very first bell.
02:55And I reckon that game plan paid off beautifully.
02:58Couldn't agree more, mate, undoubtedly.
03:00They jumped on him right from the word go.
03:02Clever cornering.
03:03And it paid off big time.
03:04Yeah, clever strategy if it was.
03:07You know, great plan.
03:08Don't let him get the ring time.
03:11Put the pressure from the outset.
03:12And wowee, Lucas Miller, how do you do?
03:15I've got to say the ring entrance is better than the fight.
03:19And went longer.
03:20It went longer.
03:21Have a look at it again.
03:22It went longer.
03:22Yeah, no, he was caught early.
03:24He was badly, the first knockdown, he was badly hurt.
03:29There's coming to the end.
03:30His referee jumped in there.
03:32That was the finish up.
03:33Great stoppage by the referee.
03:34And the towel came in as well.
03:36And so accurate from Lucas Miller.
03:38Oh, there's the first one.
03:40Yes, bang, look at that.
03:41He's gone.
03:42It's a clinical finish, isn't it?
03:43Wow.
03:44Pinpoint accuracy.
04:14It's an eight-week intensive camp where you learn how to fight.
04:39Pretty much teaches you from when you first put a set of gloves on
04:43to right up through to jumping in the ring in front of 2,000 people.
04:47Just achieving something in the ring, you know, finishing off that eight-week program
04:51and then jumping in the ring and fighting in front of thousands of people is a big achievement.
04:56No matter if you win or lose, it's a great experience and it's good fun as well.
05:00Welcome Stranger Collectibles is the fastest growing vintage collectibles business in Australia.
05:05I am going to start a two-minute auction.
05:08No reserve.

05:29So we're just waiting to make it official with James O'Shea in center ring.
05:33That man on screen, Lucas Miller, a successful third defense
05:37of his Australian light heavyweight crown.
05:39He won the title almost a year ago to the day against Reynold Quinlan
05:44and that is his first defense winning by the short route.
05:48Two points victories over Flynn Maycomb and Jackson King in the last 12 months
05:52but a stunning first round stoppage of Matt Sheehan, Hammer and Barry.
05:58The capacity crowd here at the Melbourne Pavilion still stunned.
06:04Yeah, we really didn't expect that.
06:05We, you know, we didn't, you know, well, one thing about boxing, Mark and Bruce,
06:10anything can happen and it did, you know, and it was over in the first minute.

06:37So we apologize, but the main event is going to be a cracker.
06:40That's going to deliver and congratulations to Selisui on the new edition as well.
