00:00Okay, Jacob, Rommel, I went over the instructions
00:02with both of you in the dressing room, all right?
00:03Expect a tough, clean fight.
00:05Right here, it's kind of high.
00:06I'm not calling this low over here, all right?
00:07That's not gonna be low, all right?
00:09Touch him up. Good luck. God bless, guys.
00:10Good luck, coach.
00:13Ray Alvara, are we gonna see a knockout?
00:16I'm gonna say...
00:18Yes!
00:19Yeah.
00:20I'm gonna say, yeah.
00:21I'm gonna say, yeah, too.
00:22That's what the fans like to see.
00:23I don't know. I just get the sense.
00:24That's what they came for.
00:25Bridgeport is in the house here for Lefty.
00:26He looks like he wants to, you know,
00:29Is he gonna knock him out with a left hook, though?
00:32I think left hook.
00:33I say a right hook.
00:34He's got that wide stance to start off with.
00:37What do you think of that?
00:38I'm not a big fan of wide stances
00:41unless you're throwing power, you know?
00:44So, you know, he's not on his toes.
00:45He's a power hitter.
00:46Let's see what comes from it.
00:47That was a pretty sharp delivery
00:49with the left hand, though, so maybe it works for him,
00:51but that's the first thing that stood out for me.
00:54Chin up in the air for Rommel once again.
00:56We've seen that before.
00:59Guys like Rommel has three and four records.
01:00Those guys, you're worried about.
01:03They have a 500 record, you know?
01:05You think it's supposed to be an easy fight,
01:07but they're the ones that come to fight.
01:12Rommel's a little bit awkward,
01:14but as Ray says, those 500 records with a few fights,
01:17you think maybe one or two of them could've gone his way, so.
01:20Yeah.
01:22And Lefty is being careful and patient to start.
01:25Ah, he gets smacked with a right hand, a lead right hand.
01:27He got a lead right as Guerrero jumped in.
01:30He got caught with it.
01:35You know, sometimes fighting your hometown
01:37doesn't help you out as much as you think it does.
01:39You come out of there, you're excited.
01:41You come out throwing nothing but power,
01:43and you waste your energy.
01:44That's why he's up to the corner.
01:45I mean, you can waste it in the dressing room, can't you?
01:48Surging and thinking in your head too much
01:51about what's gonna happen.
01:52Yeah, but it's also when you come on,
01:53you hear that crowd and it hits you.
01:55You just come out with that,
01:56oh, I wanna just give it all.
01:58The corner gotta calm that fighter down.
02:01That's why I always say, lead with that jab.
02:03Play with that jab in the first round.
02:05See what you got.
02:06Test your opponent.
02:08Don't just come out trying to get that knockout,
02:10because you might be the guy getting knocked out.
02:12I am seeing in Rommel what I didn't expect to see.
02:15I see some agility and some sort of kinetic movement
02:19that is quicker than I expected.
02:21Yeah, he has seven fights.
02:22Maybe judged a bit by the cover, a little bit too much.
02:24Yeah, he has seven fights, three wins out of it.
02:29In those three, no knockouts,
02:30but he goes the distance.
02:33He comes to fight, and the way Marrero is jumping in
02:37with his head up high, he's not moving that head.
02:40Marrero, nice body work on the counter,
02:42but I do get the sense he is a little bit
02:44not flummoxed exactly, but this wasn't exactly
02:48what he's expected from Rommel.
02:51Nah, can't read his book by his cover, they always say.
02:55Never read it.
02:58Yeah, he's a willing combatant, is Rommel.
03:00He's got better hand speed, even though he is awkward
03:04than I would have maybe assumed, too,
03:06and he's coming, he's being the aggressor,
03:08and now he's backing lefty up.
03:10He's cutting the distance off, Rommel.
03:11He's making it small, he's not keeping it long.
03:14Like we said, Jacob has a longer range,
03:17so why do I want to be on the outside?
03:18I want to work inside, and he's doing that.
03:20Rommel is working inside, he's coming in tight,
03:23and then those hands go.
03:25Moving to the end of round number one, solid round.
03:32This was a tough round here.
03:33You know, Rommel and Jacob were going back and forth.
03:38I gave that round to Jacob, but you know,
03:40he's got something to worry about, Rommel, in there.
03:43All right, be back, quick break, be right back.
03:47♪♪
03:53♪♪
04:09♪♪
04:23♪♪
04:30Ray Oliveira, you do have your very own gym,
04:33and so if you were in the gym and you had lefty,
04:36what would you tell him after that round?
04:39What I would tell lefties, you know,
04:40keep him on the distance, work that jab more.
04:42Yes, I'm always on the jab, people.
04:44That's the best punch in boxing.
04:45It's starting to fade away.
04:47Everyone thinks it's the left hook,
04:48straight right hand, no, it's the left.
04:50It's the first jab, you know.
04:52He's a lefty, so he's got to use his right jab,
04:54you know, so keep popping that jab,
04:56keep him from a distance, and Rommel's gonna run in.
04:59He's gonna run in, so when he runs in,
05:01drop that left hand on him.
05:03He has closed the distance in his legs somewhat, hasn't he?
05:07He's not as wide stance.
05:09That's in, that's in.
05:11Very little.
05:11Okay, I like it a little more, but okay, yeah.
05:14Yeah, yeah, he's looking better right now.
05:17This corner probably told him, keep him from a distance.
05:20Beautiful straight left.
05:21Left hand.
05:22Beautiful straight left.
05:23Drops Rommel.
05:26And of course, I don't care
05:27if it came off that right jab,
05:29you've got to get your distance with that right jab.
05:32Keep him from a distance.
05:35He kicked Rommel from a distance.
05:36He didn't let him rush in.
05:38He's got to keep doing that.
05:39Two minutes left after the knockdown.
05:41In round number two, Jacob Marrero, Bridgeport, Connecticut.
05:44See, he's letting him in.
05:45Don't let him in, don't let him in.
05:49Marrero is now the aggressor
05:51to start the round, right?
05:51And he's pushing, he's pushing Rommel back.
05:55More aggressive in this round.
05:56He's keeping him from a distance.
05:58He's a long puncher, he can't throw a shot.
06:01He's a long puncher, so keep him on a distance.
06:04As he runs in, put that two right on him.
06:06Beautiful left uppercut.
06:08Left whacking to the body, and then he's moving.
06:10He's not waiting for that receipt.
06:12So he's moving more, he's being more aggressive,
06:14and Rommel is saying, come towards me, come towards me.
06:17Come on.
06:19It looks like Marrero, something clicked,
06:21and he got some good advice in that corner.
06:23He got very good advice in that corner.
06:28He's keeping him from a distance
06:29and letting him run into that straight left hand.
06:32Using his aggression against him, yes?
06:35Yeah, exactly.
06:38One minute remaining.
06:38He's running in, Rommel, he's running in,
06:42and he's just getting caught with that straight left.
06:45And now combinations, three, four punches now.
06:49As you throw combos, they work.
06:51Combinations definitely can work.
06:54Rommel this round, he does not know what he's doing
06:57as compared to the last round.
06:58This is night and day.
07:01Knockdown was scored by Marrero.
07:04Looks to be in more total control.
07:07Slip by Rommel.
07:09Not a knockdown.
07:1025 seconds remaining.
07:12Take your time.
07:14All Jacob will do is take his time
07:15as his fans are yelling, take your time.
07:18And that body work is so key, isn't it?
07:21Oh, clipping right hook.
07:22It hurt him.
07:24On his butt.
07:26Oh, in his face.
07:27That is where you gotta stop.
07:29You get suspended, you get disqualified.
07:31They don't like that.
07:32That's the second knockdown in the round.
07:34And lefty got right up in his face and said,
07:37nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
07:38He's gonna end the round, though.
07:42That's a 10-8 round, of course,
07:44for Jacob Milley, two knockdowns.
07:46Doesn't make it a 10-7, 10-6, 10-7.
07:49Here's the, right there.
07:50You can see that replay right there.
07:52He caught him as he's jumping in.
07:54Rommel is jumping in and getting the target
07:56for that straight left.
07:58And good hand speed on the delivery.
08:00Getting better angles this round as well.
08:02He's sitting down, he's patient.
08:04Let him run in.
08:05Let him run, he's gonna run right into that punch.
08:08If he doesn't run in, he's gonna back up into that punch.
08:10And you see it.
08:11That right there, the Taunton block.
08:12There's not, we don't need that block.
08:13Yeah, what are you, from Taunton, Massachusetts?
08:16No Taunton.
08:16Come on now.
08:17That was a corny joke, but you liked it.
08:19I liked it.
08:19Thank you very much.
08:20Thank you very much.
08:22Maybe Chelsea Hand will let me do a warmup
08:24if I get a couple good ones like that.
08:26You never know.
08:27No, we know.
08:28She could be listening to us right now.
08:30She could be.
08:31She could be.
08:33I love her.
08:34You do?
08:34Yes.
08:35My wife didn't hear that, though, did she?
08:37Yeah.
08:38Oh, God.
08:38That's your wife right over there, yeah.
08:40No, no.
08:41She's reading your lips, bro.
08:42No, you love her material.
08:44There we go.
08:45I love her material.
08:46Here we go, round number three of six.
08:48Is it gonna go the distance?
08:50Or is Marrero gonna close the show?
08:52Lefty showing big pop in that round number two.
08:56Marrero just gotta be patient.
08:58And just let Rommel, we got Marrero, Rommel.
09:02Just let him run into that punch.
09:04It's straight, there he go.
09:05He's gonna run right into it.
09:06Totally dialed in now, isn't he, with that left hand?
09:08That left hand, he's timing it.
09:12There he goes again.
09:14It's almost done, because he ain't missing now
09:16with the left hand.
09:17That's the third knockdown in two rounds now.
09:20How much longer can Rommel take it?
09:22How much longer is the ref gonna say?
09:24I think he's gonna get about one more knockdown
09:26and say, you gotta show me something.
09:27Now, he can't jump, but he's coming out.
09:29You know, getting up, knowing what he's doing.
09:32Let him finish the fight, if he can.
09:34Let him finish the fight.
09:37Ah, the left hands, it just almost can't miss at this point.
09:42That's why they call him Lefty.
09:43Bingo.
09:44Now we know.
09:45I think because he was a lefty.
09:46Yeah.
09:48Not because he's a straight lefty.
09:49He's landing them beautifully.
09:53But he gotta keep moving that head.
09:54And Lefty is staying smart, isn't he?
09:56He's not getting stupid.
09:57He's not getting sloppy.
09:58He's not getting crazy.
09:59He's very patient, letting the other opponent
10:01run into you, just sit down, let them run into you.
10:04And you like that jab, too, don't you?
10:06Oh, love the jab.
10:07Love the jab.
10:08It's stiff, hard.
10:09It's a range finder.
10:10That jab is a range finder.
10:12How far do I have to step in or step away?
10:14Now, when I asked you about all these guys,
10:16all the A-side, you did say you like
10:19Marrero's upside, don't you?
10:20Yes.
10:21Of all the guys?
10:22Yes.
10:23Not picking a favorite, but.
10:24No, no.
10:24But, you like his upside.
10:26And I can see why.
10:27I like the upside, I just don't like the joint.
10:29Yep, yep, yep.
10:30I see that.
10:36If he was, could now, if he just straight,
10:39fake that left, and then with a right hook.
10:41Right there, he just did.
10:42Bingo, you said it, bro.
10:45Beautiful body shot.
10:46Another knockdown.
10:47That was a body shot on that one there.
10:49This could be it.
10:51Four and out.
10:53I think this is it.
10:55Nope, he's taking it.
10:58Nope, and back down.
11:00That's it, game over.
11:01That body shot did it.
11:01Less than three rounds.
11:02Four knockdowns over less than three rounds.
11:07There is a theme in this show, isn't there?
11:09We got stoppages galore.
11:11This is a show that fans are gonna love to see.
11:16And it was a body shot.
11:17Gonna be happy to be taking a look at that replay.
11:19Ray Oliveira is gonna talk us through.
11:23But I give double thumbs up to Jacob Marrero
11:26out of Bridgeport.
11:27Wouldn't want to see him again.
11:28And there's the action on the replay
11:30right by the round.
11:31Right now, Marrero is very patient.
11:32He just, boom, right uppercut, right to that sternum
11:35where the belly button is.
11:37And down he went.
11:38Those shots there, you try to breathe and get up.
11:42He tried.
11:42He did, he stood, and then he said,
11:44no, no, no, don't feel too good.
11:46It feels like you got hit again.
11:47You go back down there.
11:48That was a left hand to the bread basket.
11:50That left hand really woke up after round one.
11:52He figured it out.
11:54And Marrero dialed in.
11:57And Romel dialed out.
12:00That's exactly what a professional fighter does.
12:02You progress every round and make yourself better.
12:04And Jacob Marrero definitely did that.
12:06Marrero goes to seven and oh, six KOs.
12:09Bridgeport, Connecticut is happy.
12:16Audience have a little fun here.
12:18That's usually a bad thing or a good thing.
12:20Yeah, if anyone is fighting, don't throw anyone on me.
12:22Pour any beer on me, please.
12:27Let's do the fighting in the ring.
12:29In the ring, not in the crowd.
12:32You know, it doesn't happen always,
12:33but it happens once in a great while.
12:35It always takes off.
12:36You know what, not usually at boxing shows.
12:38More at MMA shows, right?
12:39Yes, it does.
12:43More at MMA shows.
12:47All right, looks like we got a quelled in the stands.
12:50And Margaret is gonna be telling us
12:51about the particulars of the time of the stoppage
12:54for Lefty Marrero.
13:00Ladies and gentlemen, at two minutes and five seconds
13:06into round number three, referee Joey Lupino
13:10calls a stop to the bell for your winner by knockout,
13:14Jacob Lefty Marrero!
13:26Foxwoods, I'm here with your winner.
