SportsTranscript
00:00Okay, Slav, Vito, I went over the rules with both of you, okay?
00:05Your trunks are pretty high.
00:06I'm not calling that low if he hits that there, all right?
00:08Same with you.
00:09You're a little high.
00:10I'm not calling that low, all right?
00:11Good luck.
00:12Touch him up.
00:13Good luck.
00:14God bless.
00:15Let's go.
00:16Ray, anything that you can assess from body or stance or facial countenance as you assess
00:25these two fighters before we start round one?
00:26Look at that Kevin.
00:27He looks very calm.
00:28I don't think he's going to fight very calm.
00:31He came out very calm, collective.
00:33He seemed like a calm little fighter there, you know, thinking.
00:40He leaves that chin out there, don't he, Ray?
00:42He definitely leaves that chin in.
00:43He squares right up.
00:44Don't look like he has that much amateur experience, but a lot of the fighters, like I looked up
00:50yesterday, DeMarco, he only had 30 amateur bouts, so it doesn't take a lot of, nowadays,
00:58it doesn't take a lot of amateur fights to get your stance in there right.
01:03Yeah, I see some things that Slavo Mir can take advantage of.
01:09Let's see if he gets a little work in, as we talked about before.
01:12Wild swing.
01:13He's in there with a hard hitter also.
01:16Kevin's also a hard hitter, so, you know, doesn't really get that much style, but to
01:22beat three and one, he has all three knockouts on his record.
01:27He comes from Music City, Nashville, Tennessee.
01:30The phrase chin music came to mind when he laid that thing out there, but yeah, he really
01:35does, Ray.
01:36Geez, it's on a platter, isn't it?
01:37Yeah, he throws, but as he throws, he picks his head up.
01:41If Solowicz just whips that right hand over top of that left hook, he's got him there.
01:51Those gloves look good and small on these cruiserweights.
01:53They definitely do, but they are 12 ounces.
01:58Yes, sir!
01:59He's tired!
02:00Right there.
02:01He's grabbing inside, Kevin, holding the back of the head, and it's probably too rough.
02:06He hasn't worn them yet.
02:07Is Slavo working inside like you want to see?
02:10He's got, you know, keep it down to the body and then come back to the head.
02:15He's head hunting.
02:18Kevin does pick his head up when he's getting inside, but, you know, take that body apart
02:21and pick it back up to the head.
02:23Kevin switching his stance, back to the lefty stance here.
02:27One minute remaining.
02:28Beautiful left hook by Solowicz.
02:29Round one of six cruiserweights.
02:34And a little blood over the eye, right brow of Kevin.
02:38Yes, Taurian got his right eyebrow cut.
02:42Was that a punch?
02:44Yes, it was definitely caused by a left hook.
02:47A little off balance there is Taurian.
02:50Beautiful left hook again, got him wobbled.
02:55A little whack to the body for special effects there.
03:00Solowicz, if he comes in with that jab, keep popping that jab, he's got that straight right hand
03:05because Kevin's putting his head down and not looking.
03:08He's just winging his right and left.
03:10So Solowicz is coming with that jab, pop that jab with the straight right hand over the top.
03:14He's got him.
03:15It's hard though.
03:16You get excited, right?
03:17You get excited in your head hunting and you see the guy a little bit wobbly
03:20and your game plan changes maybe.
03:22He didn't rush in.
03:25He's just used to probably a one-punch knockout.
03:28Put them punches together.
03:29He's heavyweights, you've got to put them punches together.
03:31And round one.
03:33That first round there definitely gave him Solowicz.
03:55ESPN!
03:56ESPN!
04:25Second down.
04:29Second down, let's go.
04:34Slava in the red corner took that one on my unofficial card.
04:37Good, pretty decent work in that round one, Ray.
04:40He definitely worked that round real good.
04:42You can see the walk marks on the right side of Kevin's body there.
04:46You know, he was working that left hook to the body.
04:48Caught him a couple times, that left hook up top too.
04:51Like I said, he just throws that left hook to come over that right hand.
04:55He switched up to the right, he stands.
04:56Maybe he doesn't want that same placement working on the body there.
05:01There he goes, Solowicz.
05:02He's doing real good with that jab.
05:04Popping that jab and let Kevin rush in.
05:10Very patient, very patient.
05:12Which is the way he wants to be, you know.
05:14The fighter's not running from him, he's right there for him.
05:16Be patient, let him come at you.
05:20That was a solid, stiff jab there.
05:22It definitely was.
05:24By the way, Ray is a trainer.
05:26And we'll get into some of the other things he's been doing since he stepped away from the ring.
05:30As we move forward in this sixth bout call.
05:35Kevin is holding on now.
05:37Every time Kevin gets hit, he puts a smile on his face.
05:40I don't know if he likes it or that means ouch.
05:43I think it means ouch.
05:49We got one of the mouthiest persons right behind us.
05:51Yes, yes we do.
05:54That's the kind of crowd I like.
05:56You even said that to me.
05:57You said, no Mike, I actually liked it when they booed me.
05:59It got me fired up.
06:00Yes, it made me want to fight.
06:05Round two of six now.
06:06See Kevin, he's throwing punches and he's leaning, putting his waist down.
06:10If Solowicz is picking him up with a right uppercut or left uppercut.
06:13Or to drop that right hand over top.
06:15Either three, he can make it a much easier fight for him.
06:18Slava dropping in and leaning a little bit too much with the jab.
06:23Come with the uppercut, you say from Kevin?
06:24Yes.
06:25Kevin, a decent jab try.
06:26A little bit of range.
06:27Keep Slava at bay a little bit.
06:29But he's a little bit awkward, isn't he?
06:30His balance is a little bit off, right?
06:32He's very awkward for a guy with three wins, three noggins.
06:35I wonder who he fought.
06:38Sometimes, you know, Nashville, Tennessee.
06:40Standards down south are a little bit different than here sometimes.
06:46He's sleeping in the nose right now.
06:47Oh, that hurt him.
06:49That knuckled him real bad.
06:52Oh, his legs ain't good, Ray.
06:53No, he's not.
06:56Blood from the nose.
06:57He's breathing heavy.
06:58It's only round two.
07:02I love Solowicz, how patient he is.
07:04Every time he gets inside, he's still digging that body.
07:07Then he comes back up to the head.
07:09Yep, left hook to the body working for Slava.
07:11Very tired.
07:12Kevin looks real beat.
07:16He's going to be happy when that bell rings for the end of round two.
07:19Every time they jab, he's dropping that right hand.
07:22Switching that left hand stance.
07:24I don't think that's good for him.
07:25Wobbled again.
07:27There he goes, smiling again.
07:28Every time he gets hit.
07:34Look for that uppercut, which you called for earlier.
07:36Nice right hand from Slava.
07:39And round two.
07:43The round did.
07:44Definitely gave that round 10-8 to Solowicz with a knockdown.
07:50Replay action, Mr. Oliveira.
07:52What are you seeing from that?
07:53You see right there, Kevin's got his head up high.
07:56He's very patient.
07:57He's working with that jab.
07:59Every time he drops in, bending with his waist.
08:01That was a trick right there, but he's awkward.
08:05His feet are off balance.
08:06He's going to lefty righty.
08:08He doesn't know what he wants to do.
08:10Solowicz is picking on top.
08:11Those legs aren't there.
08:13The chin to leg connection is a little bit off.
08:17He's bending down right into his punches.
08:20He's there for Solowicz all day to hit all day.
08:22Kevin, tough son of a gun.
08:23He was sort of standing up after that round saying,
08:25hey, look, I got energy.
08:26We're going to see.
08:27This might be the third and last round.
08:30He's taken ample punishment already.
08:33He's got a heart.
08:34He does have a heart.
08:35I like the way you say it.
08:36New England.
08:37I grew up in Massachusetts, so every now and again,
08:40you can hear it, but I want to say it right now.
08:43Yeah.
08:44He does have some heart, right?
08:45Yeah, he does.
08:47Round number three, cruiserweights.
08:49He came up to touch gloves,
08:50but Solowicz did not want to touch.
08:53There he goes, that left hook.
08:54Beautiful.
08:55And then he just gets wild and sloppy
08:57and sort of discombobulated.
08:58Yeah.
08:59But he's still standing.
09:00For how much longer?
09:01Don't know.
09:04He's got three minutes, 2.42 left in this round.
09:07Solowicz continuing the body work,
09:08which Mr. Oliveira said.
09:11Thumbs up to that.
09:13See him a little bit light in his feet.
09:14Getting some distance in between him and Kevin.
09:19He's tapping the jab, some good work.
09:20Yes, he's definitely got Solowicz looking much better
09:22than I ever seen him before.
09:23Not that he hasn't, but he's looking much better
09:25because he's using that jab more than we've wanted to see him use.
09:27He's popping it out, and then sometimes he feints it
09:30and comes with a left hook.
09:40Kevin is still hanging in there, though.
09:42He's got that punching power.
09:44He can change it at any time.
09:47And he's not exactly elusive,
09:48but he does move his head enough,
09:50so he is taking himself out of the line of fire.
09:53Yes.
09:54Now and again.
09:55Yes.
09:57He has that power.
09:58It takes one punch to change a round.
10:01That's what Solowicz right now,
10:02instead of looking to grab,
10:03just work that body.
10:04He's going from the outside straight right down the middle.
10:07Tell you, though, the temptation to hit the head
10:09when he puts the chin out.
10:10It's on the platter.
10:11Oh, so tempting.
10:13A minute 30 remaining in round three.
10:16Right there, Solowicz, just feint
10:18and drop that right hand over top.
10:20Beautiful left hook.
10:21He's been having real good luck with that left hand.
10:23You want to see more of the right hand.
10:25Yeah.
10:26You hit him enough with that left.
10:28Might as well.
10:29Even it up.
10:35And as he's switching,
10:36that's when I want to see Solowicz throw that right hand.
10:38Straight right hand down the pike.
10:40He's squaring up right into it.
10:41Is that a little bit too much?
10:42No.
10:44He's squaring up right into it.
10:45Is that a little bit too advanced
10:46for someone with not too much pro experience?
10:48Perhaps?
10:49The corner should see that.
10:50Okay.
10:51If not the fight,
10:52the corner should see that.
10:53The corner is...
10:54I always tell my fighters this.
10:55You're the car.
10:56I'm the GPS.
10:57Right.
10:58You can't get there without the GPS.
10:59And I can't get there without you driving.
11:00So listen to me.
11:01You do the driving.
11:02So his corner should be obviously telling him
11:04that straight right hand is right there for the taking.
11:07And Kevin Torian has landed a couple counters here.
11:10He's having some of his best moments
11:13in the ring thus far.
11:14Yeah.
11:15He definitely came out this third round here.
11:17He's doing a little bit better.
11:18Is he winning?
11:19I don't think so.
11:20No.
11:21But he's doing a little bit better.
11:22Closer.
11:23Yeah.
11:24Got 20 seconds left for this round.
11:25No.
11:26He's been busier for pockets of this round
11:27than Slava.
11:28And like Ray said,
11:29no,
11:30probably not winning it.
11:31Ticking down to the end of round number three.
11:33I thought that possibly he wouldn't make it out
11:35of this third round.
11:36So,
11:37pox on me.
11:38Yeah.
11:39He has heart.
11:40Or heart.
11:41Ah,
11:43he's taking these punches.
11:44He ain't laughing,
11:45though.
11:46Heart on display,
11:47and then some.
11:48Definitely.
11:49That round,
11:50third round there was a beautiful round there,
11:52you know,
11:53for Kevin.
11:54Did a little bit better,
11:55but still,
11:56I got it three nothing for Slava Woods.
11:58And he did the same thing.
11:59He danced a little bit afterwards,
12:01sending notation to the judges and everyone.
12:03I'm still good.
12:04I'm good.
12:05Despite that blood coming down from my face,
12:07I'm good.
12:08Yes.
12:09And they took care of that cut.
12:10And here we got the replay action.
12:12You can see right here,
12:13his head's up high.
12:14And he's there for the taking of that right hand.
12:16He just missed it.
12:17As soon as he gets inside,
12:18he grabs Slava Woods and holds on to him.
12:20Do trainers today still say tuck your chin?
12:22Or they don't even say that anymore.
12:24Do they?
12:25Tuck your chin?
12:26I know I do.
12:27Yeah.
12:28Tuck the chin!
12:29I don't even say tuck the chin.
12:30What I say is chin the chest.
12:31Chin the chest.
12:32Beautiful,
12:33beautiful.
12:34Or I put a tennis ball under their chin.
12:35Yeah?
12:36And they got a shadow box with that tennis ball.
12:37Oh,
12:38they must love that.
12:39Give me ten pushups.
12:40They must love that.
12:42All right.
12:43I'm staring clear.
12:44I'm staring clear,
12:45bro.
12:46Here we are to round four of six.
12:47Oh,
12:48they're going six rounds.
12:49I thought it was a four.
12:50Six rounds.
12:51Okay.
12:52Stepping on up.
12:53Here we go.
12:54And Slava comes out with that nice jab
12:55that Ray Oliveira calls for.
12:56He's got that stiff jab.
12:57It doesn't come back fast,
12:58but it sticks out there.
12:59And it's hard.
13:00And Torian hasn't been able to time it
13:01as far as a counter goes.
13:02He's got that stiff jab.
13:03He's got that stiff jab.
13:04He's got that stiff jab.
13:05He's got that stiff jab.
13:06He's got that stiff jab.
13:07He's got that stiff jab.
13:08He's got that stiff jab.
13:09He's got that stiff jab.
13:10He's got that stiff jab.
13:11He's got that stiff jab.
13:12He's got that stiff jab.
13:13He hasn't been able to time it
13:14as far as the counter goes.
13:15So.
13:16So far so good,
13:17I think on both
13:18of our unofficial cards.
13:19We have the pole up.
13:20Torian still hanging
13:21in now.
13:22He's going together
13:23foot cheese
13:24underneath the left
13:25right eye of his.
13:26He took care of the count,
13:28but that walk
13:29is coming up.
13:35CES
13:36started
13:37early.
13:38started about, what, now, 40-some-odd,
13:42I should know the exact number,
13:4340-some-odd years ago,
13:44Classic Entertainment Sports, Jimmy Birchfield.
13:47He does MMA, he does boxing.
13:49He does it all.
13:50He does it all, bro.
13:51He can be in the business.
13:52Yeah, he had a knee surgery a couple weeks ago.
13:54He's fit as a fiddle.
13:56He's here in the house.
13:58Kevin Brown was straight left right there.
14:00He caught Soloway.
14:01Yeah, two minutes remaining now.
14:03And Torian is still in it.
14:06He's tough, he's tough.
14:08The heart, the stance up, and the wall.
14:11Walked right into that right hand with the head up high.
14:14I've been calling for it all day, he finally landed it.
14:17Good, saving that right for you, sir.
14:19And looking to go back to the well with the right hand.
14:21He's just gonna throw it straight,
14:22just gonna loop it, just throw it nice and straight.
14:27Timing with that jab.
14:29That's that range, finds a beautiful jab.
14:32And he got hit with the counter, though, didn't he?
14:33Yes, he did.
14:35Torian's still a little bit dangerous,
14:37even though he's a little bit weak in the legs.
14:40Beautiful left hook.
14:42That is done.
14:43Weak in the legs, and then some.
14:46Left hook, it's all over.
14:48What a beautiful counter.
14:49Not even gonna bother to count.
14:56Gorgeous and brutal left hook.
14:58That was one of the best right hands I ever saw.
15:03He timed it well.
15:05We're gonna enjoy seeing that replay.
15:07Our man Kevin Torian is not gonna enjoy
15:10ever looking at that replay.
15:13No, he's not.
15:15That right hand, like I said,
15:17all he had to do was straighten it right out.
15:19He timed it with that jab
15:20and the straight right hand down the middle.
15:25The crowd got what they wanted.
15:27Left hand, raised the loft, the pole.
15:30Power punching, you called it.
15:31He raises his record of five and O with four KOs.
15:36Here's the finale.
15:37He was timing with that right hand.
15:40Oh, I'm sorry, left hook.
15:41Left hook.
15:42The left hook, which was working earlier,
15:45and then the right hand,
15:46and then he went back to the left hook.
15:47Expert timing, Ray.
15:50Caught him backing straight up, eh?
15:52Yes, head up high.
15:53Don't back straight up.
15:54Especially with your head up high.
15:56Don't back up with that head up high.
15:57He threw that left hook, caught him right on the button there.
16:05Yeah.
16:09Yeah, the pole has to like that one.
16:12Let me ask you, after a knockout like that,
16:15do you go home and like watch it five times that night?
16:19The winner or the loser?
16:20The winner!
16:20Oh yeah, the winner does.
16:21The winner definitely does.
16:25Oh yeah, gonna watch that on repeat.
16:28Beautiful left hand.
16:33Here we are for the time.
16:36Missed my-
16:37Ladies and gentlemen,
16:39at one minute and 49 seconds into round number four,
16:43we have your winner by knockout,
16:47Swagomir, the heavy hitter,
16:52Bogdanovich!
17:02So Ray, I-
