00:00Fears instructions
00:03Professions listen to my instructions at all the time when I asked you to break or stop
00:06I want you to do say okay, and most importantly fellas protect yourselves at all times. Let's go touch them up
00:13To get started with our pay-per-view card on main events on a big night of boxing here in Wollongong and
00:20It'll be Billy Polkinghorne and Jordan Casoliris
00:25To start us off as the crowd begins to fill in
00:30amongst the seats here
00:33And Polkinghorne as I mentioned with plenty of expectation
00:38Around him. They think that he's got a lot of ability that he showed in the amateurs
00:44And will bring to the pros. Ben Zayman in commentary alongside a couple of former world champions Barry Michael and Alex Volkanovski
00:51are both here
00:53Great to be a part of it. I'm sure Volk. Oh, definitely good to be here in the gong
00:57Obviously my stomping ground still it still is
01:00good to see and
01:03Right now we have
01:05Polkinghorne working away with that jab to the body
01:09You can see the power that Polkinghorne's got straight away
01:13In that the opening seconds
01:15Well, they have been talking that up. No doubt
01:18They think that there's a lot of power and he's learning quickly how to use it now that he is a professional boxer
01:24But I didn't mention the toughness of Casoliris
01:29Turning up for a fight with a broken foot and winning. Yeah, that's a pretty good effort
01:35He's in there with a man who's
01:38showing
01:41Slick bit of work right here on the opening round of this one a counter shot from Polkinghorne is a beauty as well
01:47The right hand now he turns and got an uppercut and there is a lot of power coming forward
01:55Monstrous right hand and he has touched the canvas
01:59Casoliris will do very well to recover here
02:03And they'll always fear our referee makes him move. He does so quite well. I thought he might have been gone, but let's see
02:12He won't get through this round. There is a barrage coming from Polkinghorne. Wow, Polkinghorne incredibly impressive
02:20It was a massive right hand that sent him down the first time
02:25Can he find it again?
02:27Billy Polkinghorne
02:32Casoliris
02:33Digs deep dug deep and fighting back. He copped. He was out. He fight was nearly over but
02:40Polkinghorne very impressive in this opening round
02:43Polkinghorne landed that nice clean right hand had him rocked and then just went for it and landed another massive
02:49Massive one that put him down. Didn't he ever throw bombs and look I love the way he's nice and tucked up
02:55Side on there quite surprising actually with someone who's an impressive amateur career
03:01He hasn't fought like an amateur like an amateur boxer. It's like a professional boxer with power. Yeah, exactly, right
03:06He did make his professional debut quite a way back
03:09But then he went back and concentrated on the amateurs with a view towards the Olympic Games that didn't work out
03:15So he's been back training as a professional and he can just see by looking at his body he has been
03:21designing himself as a puncher and
03:24He's shown that in this first round, but Casoliris is tough shown quite a chin to recover. He looks gone
03:32Under that right hand incredible bit
03:36So a ten eight round to start us off
03:39And Polkinghorne may be surprised that this one goes on as we duck into his corner
03:51Little bit more to the body. When he stands tall, he's tall, you chop that straight out. That'll bring his hand down and he'll get the shot
03:57Don't force the shot. Okay, we don't miss a big shot. You don't need to take too many. Take the right shot
04:03That's the first of those right hands. Yeah, he showed incredible power in this round Polkinghorne
04:11Oh, there it is that overhand right to put him down. Yeah right behind the ear it was
04:17Sent him down hard and that knee
04:20Slammed into the canvas, but he bounced back and he's got the right hand
04:24Did Casoliris
04:26Did a good job to come back from it?
04:28He did he threw some nice shots himself as well
04:31But he does have a lot of power in front of him with Billy Polkinghorne the puncher
04:41And a lot of talk this week that he could be
04:46The next big thing in Aussie boxing and he's trying to live up to that here and she was impressive in that opening round
04:53Sure was
04:59Counters with his left hand there and tries to jab away then goes to the body Casoliris
05:03Trying to cover up and look over the top
05:05I thought it was great corner work as well
05:07Not every punch has to be the KO finish find your shots go to the body
05:11Very true
05:17I like the way Polkinghorne, you know, he goes up he goes down. He's got a real good kit of punches
05:22He looks defensively strong
05:24He's got a lot of power in front of him

11:32He's got a lot of power in front of him
11:34He's got a lot of power in front of him
11:36Massive body shot that sent him down
11:40The second knockdown of this fight
11:42for Billy Polkinghorn
11:44But Jordan Casaliras recovers again
11:56Great work from Polkinghorn as well
11:58Obviously his corner told him
12:00Sit back a little bit, find the shots, work the body
12:02and he finds it
12:04He finds it
12:06Let's have a look at that shot
12:08Right in there
12:10Beautiful work
12:12As I was saying, with the corner telling him
12:14Let's work the body, it'll come
12:16Don't go too much power the whole way through
12:18Shots will come, and there it was
12:20Have you felt one of those Volk?
12:22They do not tickle
12:24Getting punched in the head is a lot better than getting punched in the body
12:26I agree with you, totally there Volk
12:28There's nothing worse than getting hit with a real good liver shot
12:30It paralyzes you
12:32He did well to recover
12:34And he continues on
12:36As Casaliras
12:38He's been down
12:40On two occasions now
12:42From big shots from Billy Polkinghorn
12:56And Polkinghorn
12:58Just measuring away as it's Casaliras
13:00Good right drive to the body
13:02From Casaliras
13:04He's boxing really well
13:06But the power
13:08Is on the other side
13:10Casaliras
13:12High body shot
13:14From Polkinghorn
13:16The left hand got straight through again
13:18You can see the power from Polkinghorn
13:20Even when he's blocking those shots
13:22You can see him moving with the punches
13:24You can hear it from here
13:26Sitting ringside
13:28As he lands his shots
13:30He's hunting for that big overhand right again
13:32Is Polkinghorn too
13:36He scored big with it early
13:38And he wants another
13:40There's that body shot again
13:42Vicious
13:44Casaliras absorbs it
13:46But there's plenty of redness
13:48One more clean shot
13:50To that side
13:52And he will land it I reckon
13:54He's got plenty of time
13:56It is impressive that Casaliras
13:58Is still happy to sit in the pocket with him
14:00After big shots like that
14:02Goes to the body himself
14:04But not much on that shot from Casaliras
14:06No there wasn't
14:08And it's Polkinghorn
14:10Just waiting here for a moment
14:12He'll throw the right hand from there
14:14He's been setting that up all these rounds
14:16But Casaliras saw it coming
14:18And there's an uppercut that's a good one too
14:20From Polkinghorn
14:22Another lovely little uppercut after it
14:24Casaliras to the body
14:26I think that's a great option
14:28Great option from Polkinghorn
14:30Going up the uppercut
14:32You know showing that body rip
14:34And then coming up the middle like that
14:40Counters with the body shot to Polkinghorn
14:42And Casaliras
14:44Is concerned about those
14:46And well might he be
14:48I'll tell you there is another one
14:50That was a fraction low perhaps
14:54Casaliras
14:56Well done Casaliras
14:58Definitely Ben
15:00He's really suffered some adversity here already
15:02And he's fighting back hard
15:04So 30 seconds left here
15:06In round 4 in this 5 round fight
15:12Casaliras
15:14He reaches out nicely to the body
15:16With his left hand
15:20I'm surprised Polkinghorn
15:22Hasn't lifted the pace a bit more
15:24What do you think Alex
15:26I'm wondering if he just got hurt with the body shot
15:28I think that hurt him
15:30He's seen back off and there's a
15:32Distinct change in his body language
15:34There certainly is
15:36A big fake smile quite frankly
15:38From Polkinghorn
15:40He didn't throw a punch after that body rip
15:42No definitely must have hurt him
15:44He backed off and smiled
15:46And just tried to dissuade
15:48Casaliras from coming
15:50Towards him
15:52So if he realised that Casaliras
15:54That's got to give him
15:56Some sort of confidence
15:58Yeah that hurt him
16:00As he buckled down
16:02And he looked away
16:04That definitely hurt him
16:08Didn't look that clean
16:10A shot there in the slow-mo
16:16Big night for this man
16:18Barry Hall
16:20Takes on Curtis Scott
16:22In our heavyweight bout later this evening
16:24He's looking for his first
16:26Professional boxing win
16:28Can you believe it
16:30A draw and a loss so far
16:3447
16:36He will meet Curtis Scott
16:38Later this evening
16:40The former AFL Premiership winner Barry Hall
16:42Casaliras
16:44Had a good moment there at the end of round 4
16:46Now we're into the final round
16:48Of this fight
16:50He's been down twice
16:52So he's going to need
16:54At least a bunch of knockdowns
16:56What a gutsy comeback from Casaliras
16:58As you said Ben he must be made of tough stuff
17:02I wonder if he knows he hurt Polkinghorn
17:04I think he must
17:06His corner would have told him for sure
17:08He just landed a beautiful left to Polkinghorn again
17:10He's punching hard too
17:12He is
17:14That's a good one there
17:16But he turns around a right hand
17:18And Polkinghorn has got a bit quiet here in the final round
17:20As Casaliras has livened right up
17:22He sure has
17:24You know hard to believe
17:26After what we saw in the first couple
17:28That we'd be here in the final round
17:30And Casaliras is taking the fight up to Polkinghorn
17:32Incredible that he's still there
17:34With two minutes left in this fight
17:36Casaliras who's been down twice
17:38Once from a shot behind the ear
17:40The other time to the body
17:42But he's having his best moments
17:44Late here against the very impressive
17:46Billy Polkinghorn
17:52Over the top Casaliras
17:54Polkinghorn does work that jab
17:56And there he turns that right hand around again
18:00Halfway through the fifth and final round
18:02Oh there's the body
18:04Casaliras
18:06He's smiling and talking to Polkinghorn
18:08But he felt a couple of those shots
18:10Casaliras says
18:12Yeah that was a good one
18:14But I'm still here
18:16Tough guy
18:22The comeback from those first two rounds
18:24Is a credit to him
18:28Smiling through this last round too
18:30He's going to feel that after the first round
18:32Definitely
18:34He's talking to Polkinghorn as well
18:36Talking to Polkinghorn
18:38Looking deep
18:40Good shot to the body
18:42Polkinghorn backs away again
18:44Good finish from Casaliras
18:46Oh good shot there
18:48Turn that left hand around
18:50What a gutty combo
18:52Over the top is Polkinghorn
18:54And Casaliras to the body
19:00Casaliras good little left hook there
19:02He's putting on the pressure in this last round
19:0430 seconds remaining
19:06Shoves him off too does Casaliras
19:08And tries to work from that position
19:10Throws his right hand but just smothers his work for a moment
19:12Casaliras
19:14Oh big shots from Polkinghorn
19:16But Casaliras talks to him
19:18He took it well Casaliras
19:20He flushed on the chin
19:22He reaches out
19:24Finds the body
19:28Trade to the bell
19:30Billy Polkinghorn and Jordan Casaliras
19:32Polkinghorn
19:34He'll win the fight
19:36With two knockdowns to his credit
19:38But Casaliras
19:40Has impressed as well
19:42Hasn't he ever, Casaliras showed that he's a top prospect as well
19:48A great start to our main event broadcast
19:50Billy Polkinghorn
19:52Sends Jordan Casaliras
19:54Down twice but
19:56The stories were accurate
19:58About Casaliras and his toughness
20:00Look at this
20:02Incredibly tough
20:04Gutsy performance and he got better as the fight went on
20:06He sure did
20:12Brilliant start
20:16Seen a bit of it all in that fight too
20:18Great body work
20:20Big power shots
20:22A bit of a comeback, resilience
20:24Couldn't agree with you more
20:26It was a really quality bout
20:28It turned, you thought
20:30The second round you thought it was going to be all over
20:32But Casaliras came back really well
20:34Very gutsy exhibition
20:38With a lot of quality as well
20:40Take us through the highlights
20:42It was a really good bout
20:46There it is, there's the first knockdown
20:50A comeback from that
20:52Great work from Paul Polkinghorn as well
20:54Tight guard from Casaliras
20:56And then punching around it
20:58Finding the holes around it, the body shots
21:00He did a great job of that
21:02But just slowed down towards the end
21:04You would have thought after that second knockdown
21:06With the body shot
21:08There it is there
21:10Which was a perfectly timed liver shot
21:12But it would have caught him again with it
21:16Casaliras came back extremely well
21:18Coming back from them, that's impressive
21:20They do not tickle
21:22They sure don't
21:26As you said
21:28You'd much rather be punched in the head
21:30Than hurt with a real clean body shot
21:32And you wouldn't think anyone would say that
21:34Unless they've been punched in the gut
21:36It's true
21:38He took both in that fight
21:40But he lived to tell the table
21:42He got up and survived all five rounds
21:44Did Jordan Casaliras
21:46But it will be Billy Polkinghorn
21:48Who will get this decision
21:50Which we can now get
21:52From our ring announce
