00:00And we are set to go with our next contest, six rounds in the super welterweight division.
00:23Dennis Nerja, our first Albanian representative on the broadcast, taking on Angel Barroso
00:30of Venezuela.
00:31Nerja, 14-0 with six knockouts, living in Raconte, Italy, but his hometown is right
00:40here in Tirana, Albania.
00:42You heard the ovation for him.
00:46We saw him scoring a six-round decision over Jose Espinosa in June of this year in Switzerland.
00:54Barroso was also in action in June of this year, scoring a first-round KO over Jonnaker
00:58Gonzalez back home in Venezuela.
01:10Barroso last name obviously notable in boxing circles, and Ismail Barroso is expected to
01:16be in Angel Barroso's corner here tonight.
01:27Currently not in Angel's corner, but Marlon Branacuna, who fought earlier on here tonight,
01:33is in his corner and still in his fight gear.
01:37He's still in his boots and trunks.
01:45Dennis Nerja, a close friend of Nelson Kisa, who of course we'll see in our main event
01:51a little bit later on, against Thorsten Fuchs.
02:04Barroso finding a route to the body there with a nice one-two.
02:25Nice uppercut to the body there from Nerja.
02:36Nerja like Kisa and like some other Albanian boxers is still oscillating between the amateur
02:41scene and the professional game.
02:44Nerja actually fought at last year's World Amateur Championships, lost in the opening
02:51round to Aaron Prince of Trinidad and Tobago.
02:55And nice left hook connects there from Nerja.
02:59Certainly tapping in to the more aggressive, more physical professional style here in the
03:05opening round.
03:12See the blood starting to flow from the nose of Angel Barroso already.
03:20Heavy flow cascading down the face of Barroso, courtesy of that Dennis Nerja left hook.
03:50Take a look back at some of the action from the opening round.
03:53You see that double left hook to the body.
03:55And it might have been one of those uppercuts that busted Barroso open, although there was
04:06a nice sweeping left hook from Nerja.
04:10You see the blood pouring down the face of Barroso.
04:14It looks like they have it at least mildly under control right now.
04:21About as good of an opening round for Nerja as you could ask for.
04:38And it looks like this one will be, I mean these are very confusing instructions here.
04:47This one will be waved off, yes.
04:50So the Barroso corner, throwing in the towel for their fighter.
04:59One-sided action in that opening round combined with the blood flow already initiated and
05:09that will be it for Angel Barroso.
05:12So Dennis Nerja improving to 15-0, that's his seventh knockout.
05:23Bit of a bizarre ending there for Nerja, although he seems to be a bit of a magnet for those.
05:30You might have seen last year in November when Nerja fought Placido Ramirez.
05:40Ramirez hit Nerja with an uppercut, Nerja was hurt and looked like he suffered a leg
05:46injury.
05:47There was a little bit of a referee confusion so Ramirez jumped in, hit Nerja again and
05:51that prompted a cascade of Nerja fans, two in particular, to jump in the ring and attack
05:58Ramirez and as a result the fight was declared a no contest.
06:04So Nerja escaped without what probably would have otherwise been a loss on his record.
06:11That ending quite a bit more bizarre than this one, this was just a little bit of an
06:16officiating confusion temporarily but Dennis Nerja tonight with a clean knockout victory,
06:24no funny business and his fans can celebrate in a more appropriate way here tonight.
06:45It's the time, Albanian National Amateur Champion Dennis Nerja setting the table for his buddy
06:53Nelson Hisa.
07:01Nerja one of the highest ranked Albanian boxers on the global scene, of course a short list
07:12of Albanian boxers who have really broken through.
07:18Nerja wants to be part of a new era in Albanian boxing and of course that's really what tonight
07:25is all about, having a big event like this on an international broadcast inside of Skanderbeg
07:32Square and Nerja does his job here in our second contest.
07:38Let's make it official, let's send it down to the center of the ring.
08:08So Dennis Nerja victorious here in our second contest, now improves to 15-0.
