00:00Photos in the center please, read please for your referee, let's hear his instructions.
00:03When you both have the instructions in your dressing room, just a reminder
00:06to protect yourself at all times gentlemen, let's go touch them up, good luck.
00:11So hands up, who wants it more? Liam Wilson and Yui Dib, they're about to meet with their
00:18boxing lives on the line at lightweight here in Wollongong tonight, Wilson and Dib.
00:25Go, yes it really is like that Ben isn't it, both careers are on the line here,
00:30whoever loses this is going to be put in a hard place.
00:34And fascinating to see what version we see of Wilson up here at lightweight, he's contested
00:41world titles twice at super featherweight and he's done very well indeed in both of those
00:48attempts without winning that elusive world title and now he's chasing Yui Dib who sees
00:55big things in his future if he can cause what would be an upset here tonight.
01:03Yeah Liam has got one of the best countering left hooks I've ever seen, it's incredibly fast and
01:09incredibly powerful. Yeah the left hook from hell, it is his signature punch and he will be
01:14looking for that against Yusuf Dib, Dib himself works off a really nice strong jab.
01:21Beautiful boxing. He'll want to get that into place here against Wilson early. Yeah definitely
01:25Yusuf Dib a very good technical boxer moving using the ring well at the start of the fight.
01:32Doing that really well, cutting him off, you know obviously Yusuf Dib's a lot of footwork,
01:37getting cut off, Liam doing a great job of that.
01:40Wilson closes in, tries to throw that lead right hand against Yusuf Dib.
01:51Yeah I've been wondering, you know I remember talking of Liam Wilson years ago and he told me
01:55how hard he struggled to make super featherweight and I'm surprised it's taken him so long to move
02:00up to lightweight but he looks good at the weight. He's done the weight very tough in recent years
02:08and was significantly more comfortable obviously yesterday. Yui Dib himself established
02:14at this weight now after fighting higher than this and it is Wilson to the body.
02:21Good body shot but you know very not his defense, Dib's very tight he's hardly getting touched with
02:28head shots at the moment. Yeah he looks very slick tonight as Yusuf Dib. He does. He comes
02:32back with a counter right hand too and he liked that. Good patience from Yusuf Dib as well.
02:39Obviously wait until the the shot was there. If it's not there he's not gonna not gonna take it.
02:43Yep he's not taking unnecessary chances actually. Boxing a very composed fight so far. Yeah he tries
02:49to counter with that right hand again there's Yusuf Dib and it's again Wilson leading to the
02:55body with that jab to the midsection of Dib. Now he closes him back in this neutral corner
03:02there's Wilson. Dib along to his right. Wilson looking to line up that big left hook. Yeah
03:10he'll use the right hand to lead and set up his body position on that powerful left hook.
03:18And if he connects with that there are a few who can stand up to it as Yusuf Dib comes forward
03:23with a right hand. Wilson meets him with another right hand.
03:28And they tangle right at the bell.
03:32Grounds. Yep. Very well Yusuf Dib that round. I must say it is pretty impressive that he fights
03:40out he's fought at a lighter division. He looks great at this division. When he told me after one
03:47of his early big wins you know back at the after party I got talking to him he told me how much he
03:54took off and I just I just thought it was crazy to be honest. And these are the highlights of
03:58the opening round as Billy Hussain talks to Yusuf Dib in the corner. Wilson boxing really nicely
04:04connecting with some good shots a couple of really nice body shots as well and then Dib
04:09with that good moment with the right hand right towards the end of the round. Nice countering
04:14right hand flush on the side of the chin. So a tight opening round as we expected.
04:30Barry you and I were calling that fight when Liam Wilson produced
04:34that left hook in Melbourne. Yes. Which will not be forgotten anytime soon. Never.
04:41In Australian boxing. And that guy lost the majority decision of the world champion.
04:47It was round two wasn't it? It was a bit later. An incredible shot as Wilson closes in and
04:55tries to get some shots away here against Yusuf Dib. Nice jab it is from Wilson.
05:00Dib is away again to his right evading and countering with that right hands.
05:08He had success with that shot in the opening round of Yusuf Dib.
05:13Now they hang on and they work as they break. I think the left hook will be great for Liam but
05:20I don't think he can over commit every single time. Maybe use it to cut him off.
05:23Yep. But don't go for it every single time. Dib's fighting a smart fighter at the moment.
05:29Yep for sure. They've obviously got their fight plan. They know the power that Liam possesses.
05:38We can hear the corner of Yusuf Dib saying keep this up. He'll get frustrated. And that is the
05:46plan. That's Billy Dib talking to his brother. The former world champion. Great fighter Billy Dib.
06:07Seeing him all day. All day. Box smart. Box smart. There you go. Good boy. And out of there.
06:14Out of there. Good boy. Out of that corner. Out of that corner. There's a right hand from Wilson.
06:21He gets through with that one. Glancing blow.
06:26Dib has done a great job of evading the power and getting outside. So far he has. You don't
06:32want to get caught in the corner. Body shot Wilson over the top of the right hand as well
06:36from Liam Wilson. Better little moments for him in the latter stages of this second round.
06:44Very polished boxing performance from Yusuf Dib so far though. And disciplined as well.
06:49They've been very vocal about wanting to frustrate Wilson and make him fight their
06:55fight. And he's doing a pretty good job of that so far as Yusuf Dib. Yeah you can see they've
06:59got their fight plan down to a tee to frustrate Liam. Keep moving. Stay away and pick him off.
07:07Oh right hand from Wilson over the top. He just slid through again. He's trying to find that
07:17target. The former world title challenger Liam Wilson. He jabs nicely.
07:28A little bit cheeky from Liam Wilson. Interesting stuff from Liam Wilson.
07:32He'd had enough of round two. He said I'll see you shortly. But Yui Dib was having none of it.
07:43Here we are going for a bit of a stroll. Where are you going?
07:55Look at the excitement. The eyes of Dib when he thought he had an opportunity there as
08:00Wilson turned his back. And this is the corner of Liam Wilson with Benny Harrington.
08:10We haven't even showed him the pull right hand yet. All the hook.
08:13This is boxing. This is what it is. Stay awake the whole time.
08:18You must remember that in his fight against Oscar Valdez for the world title in Arizona Liam
08:30Wilson boxed beautifully in the early stages. He was doing so well against the legendary Mexican.
08:36But his discipline went out the window. He came undone as they are saying he will do here.
08:43The Dib corner. Discipline so important for Liam Wilson. Definitely but you know like at the
08:48lighter weight he could have weakened him as he progressed in the fight.
08:53At light weight he might be able to fight the 10 rounds at a harder pace.
09:01Nice power in that left hook from Liam Wilson. Didn't land cleanly. Leads with the right hand
09:06trying to get the left hook away. Dib jabbing strongly. Moving nicely.
09:12There's a left hook from Wilson. It will be interesting in the later rounds. I think Dib
09:22keep this movement up the whole way. He's going to slow down and they're going to end up forcing
09:26the fight a little bit later on. Yeah very good point. He's going to have to work very hard to
09:31keep this going. I mean great strategy. Yes to be honest with you if I was in Wilson's corner
09:39I'd be telling him to go the body more to try and slow him up a bit. He's headhunting all the time.
09:50There's that right hand from Wilson again. He's just trying to set up the left hook. Yep.
09:58That is Billy Dib you can hear. The brother of Yusuf Dib, the former world champion.
10:02He says he's trying to set up the left hook. He's exactly right. Exactly right.
10:05The blood from the nose of Yusuf Dib now and redness on the top of the head of
10:10Liam Wilson as well. They've come together a few times and a warning on the run
10:15from referee Les Fear about hitting around the back of the head from Liam Wilson.
10:22He just pulls out with the jab there as Liam Wilson and he jabs away a bit more strongly now as
10:29Yusuf Dib doubles up his left hand. The right hand is there from Wilson and a counter shot
10:34from Yusuf Dib. A nice counter.
10:38So not as much movement now. So let's see what starts to happen from here. Good job from Dib.
10:44Leads with that right hand as Yusuf Dib and Liam Wilson
10:48had a little moment there. Just missed with his own right hands.
10:54So not as much movement now. Can we see the left hook a little bit more now? The big right
10:59hand and the left hook. We certainly could. He's gone to the body strongly. He comes back. The
11:03mouthpiece comes out from Wilson. He just grabs it and continues on. There we go. Into the body
11:11as well. Yusuf Dib wearing some shots. Liam Wilson late in this third round. Just 10 seconds left in
11:17the round. Counter shot's a good one from Dib and another right hand from Yusuf Dib as well.
11:24That left hook just misses over the top. Big moments from Wilson. Dib though survived.
11:31It came back strongly. It's going to come unstuck. It's a bomb. Let's go.
11:42Fascinating third round of action. I want to see in that last exchange if Liam landed a body shot.
11:54That's the shot. The uppercut. Beautifully timed. It got through and he followed it up too and he
12:01went to the body of Yusuf Dib and then Dib came back strongly. He did. Yusuf
12:07landed some good shots. A couple of good straight right hands. Oh there's one. Flush on the chin.
12:15Pretty even stuff.
12:28Billy Dib is showing what it means to the Dib family tonight. Brother Yusuf is in there with
12:35a former world title challenger and a big puncher as well in Liam Wilson and he's doing a good job
12:40so far is Yusuf Dib. He's certainly finding the right style to upset Liam Wilson here. Keep moving,
12:48you know, fast punches. Don't stay still. We're going to see a lot more happening right now. So
12:54there's not as much movement so we're going to be seeing him going for it a little bit more now.
12:59And you can see Wilson starting to try to set things up. His key kit of punches
13:04as Yusuf Dib just starts to slow down into this fight and stand in front a little more.
13:12They're looking to set up the big shot for Liam Wilson. He stalks this Wilson. Yes. Feeling out
13:18with the jab. Looking to come in with that left hook of the right hand. Right hand over the top
13:23it was from Dib. Wilson. There's a right hand from Wilson. With right hand. Right above us here at
13:29Ring 5. He chases and he sticks out the jab again. There's Wilson.
13:42Coming forward with the jab. Here's Dib. Wilson just misses him.
13:47Dib comes back with a nice stiff jab.
13:50Here's the hook. Up a count from Wilson.
14:02To the body goes Yusuf Dib. Wilson actually looks the bigger of the two when you look at him.
14:08That's what I think. Yeah. He reaches out to the body does Liam Wilson. He's
14:15boxing a lot better here in round four. Boxing well. Oh there's a good right hand
14:19Yusuf Dib wears it nicely but it was a strong right hand from Dib.
14:32Quality boxing match we've got here. Two world-class fighters.
14:38That one whizzes by from Yusuf Dib.
14:44Wilson is closing in. He really wants to get these big shots away.
14:50Looking to set Dib up. Goes for the body.
14:57And a body shot's a good one. Vicious body shot that one. Left hand to the body from Wilson.
15:07As Yusuf Dib was throwing his own shot. There's a good right hand again. That is a big shot from
15:12Wilson. Very heavy right hand. Daman earlier you mentioned here you know Dib pushing off to the
15:17right. He's finding it very hard to do so now. Yep. So Liam does have the chance to fire.
15:28Let's catch up with Nika.
15:30Barry welcome back. It's been a couple of years. How are you feeling ahead of your big return
15:34tonight? Yeah really relaxed. Yeah it's been a couple of years and yeah but I'm pretty relaxed
15:41at the moment so feeling good. You said that Curtis Scott sees vulnerability in you. That's
15:45why he's called for this fight tonight but you don't necessarily respect that mindset do you?
15:50Not really. I'm here for challenges and I know Curtis is going to be a walk forward fighter.
15:54He's going to be tough and yeah this is another challenge you know. Undefeated fighter I've got
15:58to try and conquer so here we go again. Barry you said that because you've tasted defeat. Because
16:04you've been knocked out before that you're going into this fight tonight with no fear.
16:08What about Curtis? Do you reckon he fears you? I don't don't think he fears me because you know
16:13he's been in with some big scary guys before but there's always a fear of being knocked out and
16:20I've already gone through that. I've walked through that and that fear's gone now so
16:25I've eradicated that and I'm in a really good place. Thanks for your time. Good luck.
16:29Yeah Barry Hall he'll be along next to fight against Curtis Scott in that heavyweight showdown.
16:35The cross code war that will erupt here in Wollongong shortly. Right now though Liam Wilson
16:40and Yusuf Dib in a lightweight contest that means so much to both of these fighters.
16:46It sure does it's really you know you know whoever wins career goes forward and whoever
16:51loses is a bit of a you know puts them to a standstill to be honest. Long right hand is
16:56a good one from Yusuf Dib. Back comes Wilson with the right hand to the body goes Dib as well
17:02and he's warned for a low shot left hook to lead from Wilson. Wilson's nose bleeding.
17:08Yep he's right around the place. No doubt about that. He's taken some shots. A good jab too. Oh
17:15there's a good right hand though from Wilson. Wilson's boxing nicely. You know Dib had a good
17:20right hand. This is a real quality fight and it depends how the judges are seeing this.
17:25Two good body shots there from Liam Wilson. Yep. Lifting the pace bit by bit Liam Wilson.
17:31Nice. Another shot from Dib. He's having good moments. Yusuf Dib he just needs more of them.
17:39Yes. Right hand. Nice clean right hand. And another right hand. They exchange them. Good
17:46right hand back. Oh and again they exchange right hand. Counter left hook just slid through
17:51too from Wilson. It's a bit like Ben you hit me and I hit you. It is a bit like that. Yeah
17:56they're exchanging big shots. It's just who gets the really big one through first.
18:05Oh right hand Wilson. Blood from the nose of both fighters.
18:14Long jab to the body from Dib. And again. Stiff jab to the body. Good scoring.
18:21Head's coming down and there's a shot on the inside from Wilson. Glanced him.
18:27Hit him on top of the head. He fires back off the ripes. He took a shot on the inside. He looks okay.
18:32He comes back with a good shot this Dib. Good right hand from Dib. Flash on the chin of Wilson.
18:37That straight right hand has been his punch in this fight and that was a good one from Yusuf Dib.
18:42Yep. Liam Wilson comes forward. There's a shot from Dib again. The right hand's landed well for Dib.
18:51Dib wears one there. That's a good right hand from Wilson. Yusuf Dib with big moments. Wilson
18:59coming back. Fascinating here in round five. It is fascinating. Right hand from Yusuf Dib.
19:09Great pull through there. Yes. Much better stuff here from Dib. Oh there's a big shot. You spoke
19:16a bit soon Ben. Wilson with a huge right hand but Dib stands up to it perfectly. He took it well.
19:22He aimed that very well. Didn't bat an eyelid. Big right hand on the bell. They are huge shots
19:33but Yusuf Dib has worn them well. Dib had big moments himself. A fascinating
19:38and outstanding round of boxing between Wilson and Dib.
19:46Some of the highlights from a really good round as we get into the Liam Wilson corner.
20:01Something I like. Something I like from Dib was every time Liam landed something big he was
20:05straight back on him. Dib was straight back on him going no I'm all good. I'm still here.
20:09I'm not lending my soul to him. I ain't crumbling.
20:14That's an intriguing fight that's for sure.
20:20And he stood up to the power of Wilson in that round. He took some flush shots
20:26and he was giving his own back. He fired right back. Certainly was. Round six of ten
20:33will we see a change in the contest. You know this is where Liam
20:36from beyond here he's had trouble in his recent fights and I think a lot of it had to do with the
20:41weight. I think he'll be a lot stronger. He counters with the left hook there. The right
20:46hand from Yusuf Dib got through. The left hook of Wilson came in response. He took it well though.
20:51He never batted an eyelid Yusuf. There's some sweat getting thrown around. We might get wet
20:58here by the way. A bit of blood too. A bit of blood. There's a right hand from Dib and another
21:03good shots. These from Yusuf Dib. He's on the chase now. Yusuf Dib with big moments. Wilson
21:09throws out that right hand but Yusuf Dib can sense something. Yeah big right hand from Dib.
21:15Flush on the chin. Wilson has to hang on. So here in round six Yusuf Dib can sense a shift.
21:24He can sense what's happening here. Yeah I think you're right there Ben. He can sense a shift for
21:30sure. He's marching forward with big shots as Yusuf Dib. Body shot Wilson.
21:41It is a very high quality bout indeed between these two world-class fighters. Well we knew
21:47that Liam Wilson was world-class. We've seen that in two attempts at world titles
21:52and plenty of other big performances but we've found out tonight Yusuf Dib most certainly is as
21:58well. Yeah this is the best he's ever looked and he does so with a big right hand. And again
22:05Dib coming forward now as well. Yes Wilson sits down on shots but Dib covers that well.
22:17I'm liking the fame from Dib as well. Yes he's doing a really good job. Jabbing away is Dib.
22:24He's had a big round six. Done some brilliant stuff this round Yusuf Dib.
22:37Jabs from both fighters. They're trying to find the big shot. It'll be Yusuf Dib trying to find
22:42that right hand. Liam Wilson he wants something big. He keeps searching for it but everything
22:50he scored with Dib has stood up to so far. And he fires back straight away. Good look at that there.
22:56Tries to counter with that hook. As soon as Liam Wilson lands something Dib comes back.
23:01There's a right hand again from Wilson. Beautiful right hand flush on the chin of Dib.
23:07Dib seemingly unaffected but he took a big shot.
23:11Misses with that right hand. There's Wilson and Dib comes straight back.
23:29Good round Yusuf Dib and there's damage all over the face of Liam Wilson. Blood from the nose of
23:36Dib as well. This is a lightweight wall. It's going to be interesting a few rounds from here
23:42that's for sure. Yeah it definitely will.
23:54On the inside on the clinch dig the body shut it down if you need to.
23:59Those right hands are killing him. Bring him off the pole.
24:02That's no good. But you're getting like tense. Yeah. And then you have to ground hard. You don't have to. Box.
24:07Move your head. Box. That's seven. Yeah. That's enough. Dab his feet. Dab his feet. Yeah stand up.
24:15Well our next fight it could well resemble a car park brawl and that's exactly where
24:21Curtis Scott is warming up. He's two and oh with two stoppages as a professional boxer.
24:27He'll fight Barry Hall next.
24:31We are in a really important stage of this one. Very uh interesting stages of the fight right.
24:37At the start a lot of movement from Dib then that slowed down. Now maybe Liam slowing down.
24:43Yeah Dib's uh exchanging a lot more now. Yeah two right hands got through. There's a hook
24:50two off the back of it from Wilson. He tries to find the right hand. He's pouring in big shots
24:54as Wilson. Yusuf Dib has taken a couple of big shots flush on the chin. He hasn't battered an
25:01eyelid. He's got a great chin. He does. Wilson marching forward again. There's a right hand
25:06from him. That just takes him. Yeah brilliant right hands from Liam Wilson but Dib is showing
25:13what sort of chin he has. Certainly. Wilson boxing better here looking dominant this round.
25:20Counter right hand from Yusuf Dib. Yeah but countering again. Wilson's really putting the
25:26pressure on here. He is. He's standing there and if he's going to do that he's going to have to
25:30take some shots and he's happy to do so it seems is Wilson. Yep. He tries to fire and find something
25:38really big. Yusuf Dib counter right hands. Right hand as well. Uppercut and he turns that around
25:48goes to the body. There's Wilson. Bit of boxing from him. They're on the inside. An uppercut from
25:52Dib. Body shot from Wilson. That one. Oh that hurt. Has hurt Yusuf Dib. It's hurt Dib. He's felt that
25:59and here goes Liam Wilson. That was a vicious shot. That really hurt Yusuf. He has hurt him.
26:06He comes back and he comes back big. There's Dib again. Every time Liam lands Yusuf comes
26:12straight back with a big shot of his own. He does. He's really really got a great chin. He's
26:17in brilliant condition. Oh there's a right hand too from Yusuf Dib. Steps out and throws it.
26:23Wilson. He's right in the punching zone after hurting Yusuf Dib. He's taking big shots.
26:29Body shot. Wilson again. Vicious shot to the body from Wilson. Trying to cover up there. He's Dib.
26:38They both go to the body. Over the top goes that shot from Yusuf Dib. What a quality bout we have
26:45here. Good shot with the right hand from Dib again. Wilson grimaces. Tries to get that body
26:53shot away. A body shot from Dib as well. Wilson tries to find the body. Where he's had success
26:59in this round. He reaches out with the right hand. Success to the body from Wilson in this round and
27:09he'll keep looking for that. But there's a right hand from Dib again. His straight right hand has
27:18been the punch of this fight. He finds it again. What a fight this is. And a brilliant round of
27:26boxing. As Dib gets through with a big shot right on the belt. But he walks back without a staggered
27:34Wilson. That was a big shot right on the belt.
28:04Right hand right on the belt. That was a bomb. And so was that. That was the body shot.
28:12And look at Yusuf Dib's face. He was in the middle of throwing his own punch but
28:20it caused some damage. But he came back big. Did Yusuf Dib. And we are getting deep in this one.
28:29I wonder how the judges are seeing it Ben because it's a see-sawing bout. Well they could be anything
28:34the scores. Yes. In this one because both fighters have been brilliant and have had so many moments.
28:41That was a good right hand again from Dib. Yep. You've got him in a headlock. It'll look like
28:48Liam early in the rounds will land some good shots and then later on he'll take them. So it's going
28:52to be very hard rounds to score especially these last few. Yes.
28:59Well they're both keen to take it out of the judges hands. The left hook. It is the left hook. He's got him. He's got him. Liam Wilson with the left hook from Hell.
29:14Again. Wow. The left hook from Hell. Oh my goodness. Wow. That is devastating stuff.
29:23Liam Wilson a world-class puncher. Wow.
29:29He has produced not one but two absolutely monstrous shots that have sent Yusuf Dib down
29:41and well and cruelly out. Traveled six inches. That left hook. Well look at this one.
29:48Oh. Right on the point of the chin. Might have traveled a foot.
29:54How about more for the trouble on the way down. Yes. And it is a devastating knockout victory
30:03with Yusuf Dib still crumpled on the canvas. Let's just hope Yusuf's okay. He's now sitting
30:11up up against the ropes but look at this. Oh right on the point of the chin. And then
30:16just a little bit of interest when it was already over. As we're saying through that fight Dib was
30:22taking them right hand so well but that left hook must have some power. As we said Liam Wilson's got
30:28the left hook from Hell and you know he's countering left hook. He saw the power and
30:32it only traveled six inches the first one. That fight was getting away from Liam Wilson. Yusuf
30:37Dib was starting to have things his own way. He was on top. He was putting on a great show
30:43but it just shows you one punch it just changes everything and you know very impressive. Especially
30:48a punch like that. Yes. A punch with that power. We know about the left hook. We've seen it before.
30:53We saw against Jesus Kwadwo. Yeah. We saw in that rematch against Joe Noyne and we've seen it
31:00against Navarrete the world champion to send him down and now we have seen it devastatingly
31:06and brutally against Yusuf Dib who was producing the performance of his life. He certainly was.
31:19That last one right on the chin. It'll be fascinating to see what the scores were doing
31:26at that point because it was a tough fight to score. Yeah it certainly was. It would be
31:34interesting then and that's good to see it is Billy Dib and Liam Wilson
31:44having a conversation
31:47and clearly the Dib family will be devastated but very pleasingly Yusuf Dib sitting up now
31:54and well aware of his surrounds and there's plenty of history between Liam Wilson and the Dibs
32:03and he did have a couple of things to say right after the knockout so let's hope
32:10that these words
32:14turn cordial at a point but this is the embrace that really matters. Yes. Yusuf Dib and Liam
32:20Wilson who both produced a fight of the year contender. Definitely. I'm sure there's a lot
32:27of respect for each other after that one. Yep. Incredible fight. Certainly was. What a fight it
32:36was. Ebbs and flows and Wilson started very very well then Dib came back and was boxing brilliantly
32:46and then it ends with a bang. As we know that left hook. That embrace is great to see.
32:56When he lands that left hook Ben we know what it does you know just incredible power. As I said it
33:02has to be because some of the right hands that Liam was landing was clean you seen the sweat
33:06just going straight off him took him like a champ but that left hook just had something else. Ben and
33:11I have seen him do it a few times and he's just got the best left hook. Okay let's make it official
33:16he's lieutenant Dan Hennessey. Fighters in the center ring please.
33:31Ladies and gentlemen can we please have a round of applause for these two lightweight warriors.
