Transcript
00:00Good evening guys, my name is Temekayo Olaifah. I want you guys to keep it clean at all rounds.
00:10Listen to my commands at all times and protect yourself at all times. Good luck.
00:18And this bout is for 8 rounds of boxing.
00:30Seconds out. Round one.
00:42Yeah, let's go for this one. Second bout of the night.
00:458 rounds of National Featherweight Challenge.
00:48And a crowd favorite right here making his ring return after 4 years in the wilderness.
00:56He's talking about Waidi Skoror Usman. Very very popular to Lagos boxing fans.
01:02And of course he's up against Latif Aziz.
01:06Both of them interestingly weighing in at 57 kg.
01:11And it's going to be a very exciting fight.
01:13Because you know that Skoror can be explosive.
01:16But he's been out for close to 4 years. Age not necessarily on his side as well.
01:20Hurricane.
01:21Yeah, that's true.
01:22Waidi Skoror, I remember him in his last fight.
01:24Against Kayak Bajaj Sheko.
01:27I think one of those shows during those years.
01:30And I think he lost that fight.
01:32And other than that he went into the wilderness like you said.
01:34And he's back now. That's what they say is the ring return.
01:36Waidi Skoror.
01:38He's an OG in the boxing.
01:40And he's going to bring in some fireworks.
01:43And I also expect Aziz Latif to reciprocate the kindness.
01:49Ladies and gentlemen it's going to be an 8 rounds national featherweight challenge.
01:52Between Aziz Latif on white and silver trunks.
01:56And Wahidusman Skoror on white and blue boxing trunks.
02:00Ladies and gentlemen the fight is on the way.
02:02Yeah, we expect a lot coming from these two guys.
02:06Latif looks like a very durable boxer.
02:10But he's still very inexperienced.
02:12Only two professional bouts under his belt.
02:16But he can give Skoror a whole lot of difficulties in this fight.
02:23He's very quick. He knows how to use his head movements very well.
02:26And of course he's younger. Much younger.
02:28Which means that the energy level is absolutely higher.
02:31You can see Skoror not as explosive as we know him to be.
02:35Obviously age is beginning to catch up with him.
02:38We expect him to slow down.
02:39But don't confuse that slowness for inability.
02:44Skoror has been known for his hunting abilities.
02:46He hunts for the space. He knows where to touch.
02:48He knows how to go into his opponent.
02:50He has been known for that all way long.
02:52So I think Latif is just going to have a taste of Skoror very soon.
02:57So this is a clear case of experience versus youthfulness.
03:03But as you can see strength is talking here.
03:05As Latif catches Skoror on those powerful combinations on the face.
03:09It's still early days but I'm kind of impressed with Aziz.
03:14You know he's taking his time.
03:15He knows he's fighting a very established boxer.
03:17And he doesn't want to rush into it because he could get caught with a sucker punch.
03:21So he's taking his time waiting for that opening as well.
03:24And he knows that when it comes to durability he's probably got more of that than Skoror who's older.
03:30You can know the strength is coming.
03:32As you can see Skoror is of age. He's an old war horse.
03:35But I don't think he can stand the power and the energy of Latif.
03:39I don't think so.
03:40We'll find out. We've got several more rounds to go.
03:42This is the first of eight rounds right here at the Indoor Sports Hall.
03:46It's actually called the Molade Okoye Thomas Hall of Testing Balogun Stadium.
03:50Venue of D-Lad's boxing promotions.
03:55Battle of the ages right here.
03:58Oh wow ladies and gentlemen it's a beautiful place and we're having fun.
04:13Nice.
04:15Nice.
04:17Nice.
04:28That's the replay ladies and gentlemen.
04:30You can see, you can see the power.
04:32Wow and the double coming.
04:34And Latif.
04:35Oh no. Oh no.
04:37I don't think this is.
04:39Wow let's see.
04:41The round is still young.
04:42Oh wow wow wow.
04:44Ladies and gentlemen.
04:45The recap tells a lot of the story.
04:47It tells a lot of the stories in the first round.
04:51So we're in the round of two ladies and gentlemen.
04:54And the battle of the ages has begun again.
04:58Between Waheed Ousmane and Aziz Latif ladies and gentlemen.
05:03It is the round of two.
05:05And these boxers are ready to trade punches.
05:07And getting ready to entertain the crowd.
05:16A good one there coming from Aziz.
05:18He's finding space all the time to connect with this man.
05:21He is using his power, his energy.
05:24His younger age to at least do some damage to Scarra.
05:36One, two, three.
05:41Boxers, I think they're a bit too cautious.
05:44After what we saw from the first bout of the night.
05:47People want to see explosive boxing.
05:52Is it the respect for Scarra or what's going on?
05:56I don't know.
05:57Because it looks like Latif wants to explode.
06:00But he's holding himself back.
06:02Yes I saw that.
06:03He's trying to give the champ some respect.
06:05He doesn't need to do that.
06:07Because if Scarra catches him on the bad spot.
06:09Scarra will take him out.
06:11So he needs to go all out.
06:13One of the Lagos State boxing coaches there.
06:19I think Latif needs to start breaking down that wall of defense.
06:24Put up there by Scarra.
06:26Scarra is being too cautious.
06:28But you can't blame him as well.
06:29When you've been out for four years in the wilderness.
06:33I can see he's taking caution.
06:36He's only going to throw punches when he knows he's sure that the opening is there.
06:40Because he doesn't want to get caught as well.
06:42And he doesn't know the firepower of this young man called Latif Aziz.
06:47Latif is the powerhouse.
06:49You can see.
06:50He's very cautious.
06:51I know.
06:52He wants Scarra to have his time on the ring as you can see.
06:54I think so.
06:55What I suspect.
06:56Nice one there coming from Scarra.
06:58What I suspect that Latif is doing.
07:01He wants to get a feel of Scarra's punches.
07:03He wants to see what he feels like.
07:05Because when Scarra stopped fighting for a while.
07:08Latif wasn't even on professional level at that time.
07:12So he must have been hearing about Scarra.
07:15But he hasn't really felt the punch power of Scarra.
07:19I think he wants to get it.
07:21Once he feels it.
07:22Then he knows if he can throw caution to the wind.
07:25And go for it.
07:28You can see him shaking his head there.
07:30Saying that's not worrying me.
07:32That's not what I expected.
07:33But it's okay for him to respect the champ.
07:35Allow him to enjoy his time.
07:37Wow.
07:38Good one there.
07:39Beautiful show from Latif Aziz.
07:41Who is doing some beautiful work there on the ring against Scarra.
07:44I don't agree with you.
07:46It's a beautiful show.
07:47Really?
07:48I want Latif to explode.
07:49Wow.
07:50Let's get going man.
07:52In 8 rounds and this is the 3rd round.
07:54So just keep sticking to the explosions.
07:57Let's go.
08:10Ladies and gentlemen, that's a replay.
08:12Scarra being caught again and again.
08:14And Latif is actually taking his time as you can see.
08:17But I want the fight to be very explosive.
08:19That's what the crowd wants.
08:20That's what boxing is all about.
08:22Explosion on the ring.
08:23Explosion everywhere on the ring of flame.
08:27And it is the last boxing promotion, ladies and gentlemen.
08:30And we are at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surrey,
08:33against the Grand Jury.
08:34My name is Hurricane.
08:35We've been coming into boxing.
08:37And we resumed on the round of 3 for the Battle of the Ages.
08:42It is 8 rounds national featherweight challenge
08:45between Aziz Latif and Wahid Ousmane Scarra.
08:50An old warhorse in the game of boxing.
08:52Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy the show.
08:55We are still standing by to give you the best commentary on this boxing match.
09:01A good one there coming.
09:08It's a beautiful show.
09:09The crowd excited.
09:11The fans actually getting the feel of what they actually paid for.
09:15Beautiful.
09:23Good one there coming from Latif Ousmane.
09:29And it does look like, pretty much like our observation,
09:32I think Latif wants to let go.
09:34He wants to release those arms of his.
09:39But Scarra seems to have sensed it as well.
09:42Scarra has used 2 rounds to assess Latif
09:47to see whether he's got those punches that can take him out.
09:51And so far so good.
09:54Even with the stance of both boxers, you would know who's more energetic,
09:58who's more stiffened.
09:59Obviously.
10:00And I think, like you said, it's time for Latif to start breaking down those guards.
10:05He needs to go to the body.
10:08You know when you get older,
10:10body conditioning cannot be the same thing as a younger boxer.
10:13That's a powerful one there coming from Scarra.
10:15He's getting wild.
10:19So enough respect.
10:21Now we're going for it.
10:22Going for the jugular.
10:23Enough of the respect.
10:34The jabs are slow.
10:35I'm not seeing those dangerous jabs that Scarra needs to use to open up this guy.
10:41It's not coming from nowhere.
10:42Because, hey, you're fighting against a special, a very powerful skipper fighter.
10:46And that's it.
10:48That's it.
10:49And that's it.
10:50That's it.
10:51It's coming.
10:52I think Scarra is completely...
10:54That's exactly what we want to see from Latif.
10:56Go to the body.
10:57Rock that body.
10:59When you rock the body, Scarra will drop the guard.
11:01And then you can go for the face.
11:03Beautiful.
11:05You know, he's taunting him with those little, little jabs.
11:09It just sounded like the match just now.
11:11That's what it is.
11:12That's what it is.
11:14And you can see Scarra now also knows that he can't keep guarding that face.
11:19And not protecting his, you know, his abs.
11:21He needs to protect that.
11:23Those abs are not the same abs that he used to have before.
11:26Yes, yes, yes.
11:30He has had his time in the ring.
11:31Oh, wow.
11:32Wow.
11:33I didn't see any rabid punch there.
11:35And I love the fact that...
11:37I love the fact that the referee...
11:39No, no, no.
11:40There was no rabid punch there.
11:41And he's told him to keep it firm.
11:43No complaints.
11:45We all saw there was no rabid punch there.
11:48Good showing from Latif Aziz for that third round.
11:50We want to see more from both boxers in the next round.
11:52Oh, yeah.
11:54More classic shows, ladies and gentlemen.
12:08All right, ladies and gentlemen.
12:09It's the round of four.
12:10The last boxing promotion.
12:12Bring your boxing to your viewing pleasure.
12:14And we are live here at Teslin Balogun Stadium, Surulere, Lagos, Nigeria.
12:20You can catch us live on Star Times, Channel 244, on Fyte TV, on better sports, ladies and gentlemen.
12:26My name is The Hurricane, one more time.
12:28Or you can come and enjoy the boxing.
12:30And we are still live here at the Sports Hall.
12:33Round four.
12:35It's the beginning of the fourth round, ladies and gentlemen.
12:37The fight is on the way.
12:39Halfway mark for this eight rounds of national featherweight challenge fight between the veteran Waidi Skoro.
12:47Usmani gets caught there.
12:49Skoro.
12:51I don't know why Skoro is complaining.
12:53And I love the fact that referee Olaifi is not having any of it.
12:57He's telling Skoro.
12:59Olaifi is a very experienced referee.
13:01I don't understand what Skoro is complaining about.
13:03I think Skoro is trying to look for excuses in this fight.
13:07I honestly think he's trying to look for excuses in this fight.
13:10And if he wants to fight, he should give the fans what they want to hear.
13:14And you can see there.
13:16He's telling him that if he keeps complaining, he's going to have to deduct his points.
13:24And the towel has been thrown as the guard has come off of Skoro.
13:29And the fight is over.
13:31The towel has been thrown, ladies and gentlemen.
13:37Yes.
13:38And the fight is over.
13:40Skoro's corner.
13:42They've thrown in the towel.
13:43And we have had it.
13:45Skoro is not happy about this.
13:47He's definitely not happy about this.
13:49But you can see that man, Latif Aziz, excited about this.
13:53I thought he was premature as well.
13:55I thought he was premature.
13:57I think that his corner should have allowed that fight to go on.
14:01You can see Skoro there, not very happy about it.
14:04Yes, he's got a bit of a...
14:07He's got a bit of a bump under his eye there.
14:10I think that his corner knows the best.
14:14No, but it's not all the time.
14:16Sometimes, your corner might think you're in pain, you're hurt.
14:20But you may not be hurt.
14:21You can see his look on his face.
14:24Let's take a look at it again from the playback.
14:26I don't think he was really hurt that much.
14:28Watch that.
14:29Watch that.
14:30Watch that.
14:31He was still there for the fight.
14:32He wasn't. He was gone.
14:34No, he wasn't gone.
14:35This is it right there.
14:37Watch it again.
14:38One, two, three.
14:39This will be a disaster for Skoro.
14:41He was still there.
14:42He was still there.
14:44When you see a boxer raise his hands up,
14:46that's to tell you that he still knows what he's doing.
14:48Well, I do not agree with that.
14:49I honestly don't think that towel should have gone out.
14:53I don't think that towel should have gone out.
14:56I honestly don't think that towel should have gone out.
14:58It is what it is, man.
14:59Well, but I still don't...
15:00Look at him there.
15:01He's still throwing punches.
15:02No! Look!
15:05He's still throwing punches.
15:06And that's why he's very angry about that.
15:08All right, ladies and gentlemen.
15:09They think they're protecting him because of his age and a few other things.
15:13But that man right there is an angry man.
15:16A man who feels,
15:17I have taken these kind of punches before
15:19and I have come back from them before.
15:22You've just given this guy an easy win over me.
15:25And I agree with him as well.
15:26Well, okay.
15:27I totally agree.
15:28You can see.
15:29It's all in his face there.
15:30I think every boxer will complain like that.
15:32No.
15:33There are some boxers,
15:34you will know they are out of sorts.
15:35This man was not looking out of sorts.
15:38But like you said,
15:39it is what it is.
15:42The rule of boxing is,
15:43if you're gonna throw something in the towel,
15:45it's all over.
15:46It's all over.
15:47And that's the experience of Taiyo Laifa.
15:50Beautiful show of boxing, ladies and gentlemen.
15:52And they've been called to the center of the ring.
15:58Thank you.
16:08Ladies and gentlemen.
16:17The fight came to an end at exactly 34 minutes,
16:21or 34 seconds, beg your pardon.
16:2334 seconds of the round number four.
16:28When the red corner threw in the towel.
16:30And we have your winner,
16:32by TKO,
16:34Aziz...
16:37Latif!
