00:00Okay, boxers, let's speak this through from the change rooms.
00:03You know what I expect, protect yourselves at all times, obey my commands at all times.
00:07Touch gloves.
00:08Good luck, lads.
00:09Well, it's a big night for Stephen Cairns, a homecoming of sorts, having boxed in five
00:13different countries in his first seven professional fights here in Belfast.
00:18Queensbury debut, wanting to make a statement tonight, and he's got some fans in here.
00:23They've had about a six-hour train journey, I'm told, from Cork, and this is a big night,
00:29for Stephen Cairns.
00:30Yes, he'll want to impress, won't he, tonight, but at the same time, Fletch, if you look
00:36at his record, 7-0, and he looked pretty impressive with those four knockouts on his record also,
00:43but yes, this is a big night for him, and he'll want to impress, he'll want to look
00:46good, and he'll want to try and get this guy out of there early.
00:49He's only had one stoppage defeat, remember, Isaac Lowe, back in December of 23, last year,
00:56so it's a tough night's work for him, but he looks good up to now, in terms of his record
01:01and the knockouts that he's had.
01:03Black and green trunks for Stephen Cairns, only six wins in 16 contests for the 28-year-old
01:10Brazilian Jonatas de Oliveira, who's been beaten ten times, and Cairns can do things
01:15quick, and it's a body shot that puts him down.
01:19Richie mentioned the fact that Isaac Lowe stopped him, he stopped him with a body shot,
01:23and that was a cruncher, and I don't think he's going to beat the count, he's not.
01:28It's a knockout, it's a backflip, it's a celebration, and the man they call the takeover, with a
01:35statement stoppage win on his Queensbury debut, for the second time in his career, de Oliveira
01:41stopped by a body shot, and that one was vicious.
01:44Well, he said he wanted, he needed to look impressive tonight, you couldn't be more impressive
01:48than that, could you?
01:49What a super body shot that was, great left hook to the body, started the attack off to
01:53the head, then squeezed downstairs, and whipped that left hook under the elbow of his opponent,
01:59into the ribs, what a belting shot that was, and this guy, like we said, had only been
02:03stopped once, so that's pretty impressive indeed.
02:07Let's have a look at it.
02:08So he starts off to the head, a couple of headshots, look, and then whips the shot downstairs,
02:14so that's literally those headshots, take the attention away to what's to follow, couple
02:19of jabs, right hand, watch this left hook, bang, there it is, right under the elbow,
02:23and into the ribs, de Oliveira, slight delayed reaction, and thought, oh, couldn't recover
02:29from that, that was impressive, Fletcher.
02:31That's impressive too, what I would say, don't try that at home, that's not something to
02:35do in the living room, I only stretch the imagination.
02:37What the left hook to the body?
02:38Well, either, either actually, very good point, Rich.
02:42So that's another stoppage, it's a fifth stoppage, four of them have been first round
02:47stoppages.
02:48Stephen Cairns can get it done early, he wanted to make a point tonight, he has done, let's
02:52get confirmation from Thomas.
02:55Ladies and gentlemen, here is the official time, 56 seconds of round number one, our
03:03referee in charge, Hugh Russell Jr. reaches the count of 10, therefore, your winner by
03:10way of knockout, and still undefeated, the Takeover, Stephen Cairns.
03:21So Stephen Cairns gets the win in spectacular style, that's the way to mark your Queensbury
03:26debut, they call in the Takeover, if he carries on landing shots like that, they might need
03:30to call in the Body Snatcher, that was very impressive, Becky.
03:35God, it certainly was, 56 seconds on your Queensbury debut, how much of an impression
03:39did he just make?
03:40I think that's the way you want to make a statement, isn't it, his first fight under
03:44this Queensbury banner on TNT Sports, big exposure.
