00:00I already read everything in the locker room and in the corner.
00:05This is a little bit high, everything a little bit here, a little bit low is good.
00:09Here, everything is good.
00:11It doesn't matter what they say, everything is good.
00:13You can play wherever you want, you don't have to go to the corner.
00:30In red, Martinez in the black.
00:33We are underway, round number one.
00:36Don't sleep on this fight, this could be a sneaky good fight.
00:40Cuerta has got big power, which it seems like all Venezuelans do.
00:43Venezuelans, Colombians generally come here.
00:46They all punch like murderous punchers, but in the four losses that Cuerta has,
00:53it's actually a four fight losing slide at the moment,
00:57but he fought a lot of good guys and was in every one of those fights.
01:00He was winning rounds, it wasn't like he was getting dominated and blown out.
01:04Used to slick boxers in the South Boston side of Cuba.
01:07Martinez coming out banging from that orthodox stance.
01:11Good jab.
01:12And these new age Cubans, they sit on their punches a little bit.
01:14It's not like that old school touch and go style.
01:17Body shot there from Cuerta.
01:18And it's funny, the Cuban system is so incredible.
01:21They were very successful with the old touch and go style,
01:23and they're very successful with this more sit on your punches style.
01:26You give them a style to learn and they learn it.
01:29It was derisively called in the amateurs, as you gentlemen know,
01:32hit and run when you face a Cuban.
01:34They hit and run, they move their punches and go.
01:36And that adjustment was because the computer system was the way they were scoring the amateurs.
01:39But then once they went back to that more pro style scoring system,
01:42the Cubans adjusted quickly.
01:44They're still good.
01:46Also, no head gear, you can get a guy out of there in ways you couldn't earlier in the amateurs.
01:49And right now, to your point, Champ, Martinez certainly an example of that.
01:53Making the center flat footed.
01:55Even these new age Cubans, they don't forget defense.
01:58They're there, they're so technical.
02:00And it's the systematic approach of the training is why they can make that adjustment
02:03and change the entire style.
02:05Oh yeah, they're still boxing.
02:06Yeah, exactly, they're still boxing.
02:10Oh, nice right hand.
02:12I told you guys, I had a feeling this was going to be a fight.
02:14Cuerta is no joke, he's here to win.
02:18Nice body shot from Martinez.
02:20With the feint on top of the right hand first.
02:22Nice stuff in there.
02:26There's a downside to being flat footed, right gentlemen?
02:28Cuerta came to throw.
02:29There's no feel out around here.
02:31Not at all.
02:33Listen, I don't care who you put, if you have five wins and five KOs,
02:38you still knock the guys out.
02:40You start to buy into your own height, you start to throw more shots hard.
02:43That's what he's doing on some really powerful shots here.
02:48A big part of it, gentlemen, this is all across combat sports.
02:51People I'm running into, they go,
02:53Pro Box to me, man, you guys put on some good fights.
02:56It's one of those where when you come here, you're like,
02:58hey, one big knockout and I have an opportunity to move on to great things.
03:02Vladimir Hernandez at our main event tonight.
03:05Talking about his record, Paulie, 14-6, got a huge knockout,
03:08he's back in the main event.
03:10Both these guys know the opportunity of being here.
03:12Cuerta backs him right up there, right to the ropes.
03:15Jimmy, on what card are you going to see a 4-0 guy fighting a 5-4 guy
03:19and then actually get a good fight?
03:20Yeah, get a war out of it.
03:22Even the 5-4 guys who bring on Pro Box, they can fight.
03:25They come to bang, and that's what they've been doing
03:27all through round number one.
03:30BELL RINGS
04:01A lot of yelling coming out of the Colombian corner.
04:04Pretty normal.
04:06Especially when you've got a fight like this.
04:08These guys are banging away.
04:10When you have the length and the skills that Martinez has,
04:13you want him to get out there, use your boxing, use your feet,
04:16stay on the outside, don't stand in front of the puncher,
04:19and last round he did at times.
04:21But Cuerta's corner, you've got Fidel Martinez, Rudy Martinez,
04:24Miguel Morales in his corner.
04:26They've been yelling, hey, keep that intensity,
04:28because he can't afford to slow down.
04:30I mean, you've got a guy with a height and reach advantage
04:32and an amateur skill set advantage.
04:34You've got to go after him, especially if you're a puncher,
04:36which Cuerta seems to be.
04:38Now, Paulie, you talked about it.
04:40You were usually the shorter guy.
04:42It takes a lot of gas.
04:44You're always trying to get inside on a lot of these taller
04:46range of guys.
04:48Yeah, yeah, you've got to be creative.
04:50You've got to know how to be creative,
04:52and you've got to use your athleticism
04:54and be deceptive in general.
04:57And Cuerta pulling his way in.
04:59You hear the yelling from his corner.
05:01That's what they want.
05:03More talk from these guys, too.
05:08Nice jab there from Martinez.
05:11Colombia versus Cuba.
05:14Martinez now training in Las Vegas
05:17with all the work in the world out there.
05:20No job in gyms in Vegas, New York, California.
05:24Walk out of there.
05:26Walk out of a gym in East L.A.,
05:28you know the work is going to be tough.
05:30Get all the sparring out there.
05:32You're about to see a lot of these Cuban nationals
05:34when they turn pro heading to Vegas.
05:36I trained out there, Champ.
05:38I'm sure you trained out there at times.
05:40It's such a hub of boxing talent,
05:43getting sparring in Vegas.
05:45It's not hard.
05:48Not hard.
05:50I'm telling you, Cuerta, he's got some heavy hands.
05:53He's having an effect here on Martinez in round two.
05:56Let's go to our last fight.
05:58You saw it, Angeloni versus Medina.
06:00Medina making a brawl out of it.
06:02Another Cuban, well, Angeloni,
06:04technically brilliant.
06:06Big shot there from Martinez.
06:08He's backing up.
06:12I like the punch variety
06:14Martinez throws his shots at times.
06:17Very creative.
06:19He's got the more IQ here.
06:21Cuerta bringing the effort
06:23to try to grind him down a little bit.
06:25Oh!
06:27Down goes Martinez in the corner.
06:30Watch that trading.
06:32I told you.
06:34A fighter from Colombia
06:37lands the big right hand, Martinez.
06:40Martinez trading.
06:43Trading with his back on the ropes.
06:49I say all the time,
06:51long arms can be a detriment on the inside.
06:55Oh, man, heavy shots from the Venezuelan here.
07:0130 seconds left in the round.
07:04Martinez trying to hang on.
07:06He's taking the center, gentlemen.
07:08He's not running.
07:13Hold him a little bit, but he's not running.
07:15No, Martinez is fighting for his life here.
07:19Ooh.
07:21Still willing to engage.
07:23These guys are just loading up with big shots.
07:25Martinez. Oh!
07:29Oh, good body shot again from Puerta.
07:31What a change, what a round.
07:43You got to get out.
07:45Hey.
08:03In the corner of your head there, Martinez.
08:06If you see some urgency, here's why, Chris.
08:09Big overhand right on the ropes.
08:11And throwing that right hand with the left hand down.
08:13Watch where his left hand is when he throws his right hand.
08:15See? Martinez, left hand straight up.
08:17He's up high, squared, hands all over the place.
08:20No good.
08:22Back against the ropes, not where you want to be
08:24with a puncher and trading.
08:29Joe Handler, the undefeated professional.
08:324-0, two knockouts.
08:34Standout amateur in Cuba.
08:38But Francisco Puerta from Colombia has made this a brawl.
08:42Scored a knockdown in round number two.
08:45Listen, long arms are great to have at range.
08:47But on the inside, it takes longer to get those punches back to home.
08:50And as we saw in that replay,
08:52Martinez did not get the hands back to home.
08:54Got hit with a big shot.
08:56Ended up on the seat of his pants.
08:58Chris, unlike so many sports, there is no right build for fighting.
09:01But you have to fight for your build.
09:03Yes, absolutely.
09:05That's a great point, Jimmy.
09:07This isn't a 100-yard dash.
09:09There's no perfect fight.
09:11You have to find what works for you and your body type.
09:14Short fight short, tall fight tall.
09:16And unfortunately, Martinez, the taller man,
09:18got in the short man's fight in the corner.
09:20Martinez just throwing too many big bombs.
09:22He needs to box more.
09:24Use that jab, stay at a length.
09:36Now, what's your advice here, Paulie?
09:38Is it go back to the jab and kind of reset?
09:40Or do you fight fire with fire?
09:42I mean, you've got to fight fire with fire.
09:44You've got to hit your spots.
09:46You've got to work with...
09:48You have the more ability there.
09:50You have to fight fire with fire consistently.
09:52Terrence Crawford ringside to see him there in the black and white.
09:55Yeah, he was in the corner for Angeloni.
09:57He hit Bomack and his team behind Angeloni.
10:01This is where Martinez got in trouble.
10:05There he is now using that pump and that jab, double, triple.
10:08That's the way he should be fighting.
10:10He should also be changing levels and changing looks
10:12because Puerta wasn't even backing up an inch there.
10:14He wasn't really bothering him.
10:16He was holding his position.
10:18He wanted to do things to bust up Puerta's position.
10:20Gentlemen, did that tendency to plant his feet catch up to him?
10:23He planted his feet in the beginning.
10:25Hasn't used a ton of footwork.
10:27That's an awkward slip there.
10:29Luckily, it didn't hurt his knee.
10:36There's that jab again from Martinez.
10:38They're seeing that more and more.
10:40Oh, the body shots.
10:42The right hook to the body around the elbow for Puerta
10:44has been a good weapon.
10:51Martinez just lets him in the front.
10:53Oh, big right hand again.
10:56Martinez has some problems with hand position and close range.
11:00If you're not going to trust your hand position,
11:02you're not going to have that good hand position.
11:04You can't fight at close range.
11:09Right hand may have hurt Martinez,
11:11but Puerta not pouncing.
11:14Doing what he has done this entire fight,
11:16which is fight fire with fire.
11:18Puerta, he started his career 5 and 0, 5 KOs.
11:21He's got a lot of experience.
11:23He started his career 5 and 0, 5 KOs.
11:25He's on a four fight slide,
11:27but he was fighting good fighters and winning rounds.
11:29This guy knows how to fight.
11:31I was about to say, which guy's 5 and 4?
11:33Yeah, exactly.
11:41And there is Terrence Crawford.
11:43To many people, myself included,
11:45the pound for pound goat right now.
11:48Talking about having your pick of opportunities,
11:50but he is excited to be watching these fights tonight.
11:53Yelling, it looks like for Martinez,
11:55but this is why his corner should be a little concerned, Chris.
11:58Big bombs from Puerta.
12:00That was nice.
12:01Same shot.
12:02Yeah, same shot.
12:03Same position, too, for Martinez.
12:04Back against the ropes.
12:05Too tall.
12:06Hand position.
12:07Loose.
12:08Bang.
12:09Right hand over the top to the temple.
12:10Martinez took that one better, obviously,
12:12because he went down the last time he got hit with that.
12:16Regardless, when Puerta is able to pin him on the ropes
12:19and let those hands fly,
12:21he's the man in charge.
12:22Pauly, I'm sure you've been hit above the ear many times.
12:24Yeah.
12:25Equilibrium goes, right?
12:26You become a bobblehead,
12:27and equilibrium's gone for a couple rounds.
12:29It hurts, man.
12:30Yeah, you get that neck prick.
12:31You're like...
12:34He's been an all-action fighter,
12:36and we are in round number 4 scheduled for 6.
12:39Are these rounds flying by or what?
12:40I can't believe it's round 4.
12:41I'm sweating.
12:42Not for these guys.
12:43Yeah.
12:45Martinez is probably an eternity.
12:49And that's been the story,
12:50where he's looked technically sound,
12:51looked like he's in control,
12:52and then Puerta comes in with his power
12:54and shifts the narrative of the round.
12:57Yeah, no, you see the technique.
12:58You see the skill set of Martinez right here.
13:01But it's not creative enough.
13:02He's not changing speed.
13:03He's not changing levels.
13:04It's not deceptive enough.
13:06He's fast, but it's all the same speed.
13:08Puerta catches up to it,
13:09because Puerta's better than your average 5'4 guy,
13:11so he starts to get the time limit.
13:14It's the football team running down the center
13:15over and over and over.
13:16Yeah, yeah, exactly.
13:17You might be good at it,
13:18but eventually they know how it's coming at them,
13:20and they know how to defend against it.
13:22I'm curious the conditioning of Puerta,
13:24because a lot of times,
13:25if you keep mentioning 5'4,
13:26obviously he can fight,
13:27obviously he can punch,
13:28but you start to get a little disenchanted
13:30when you're coming off four straight losses.
13:32Eh, I'll take this fight.
13:33Maybe I'm not in the best shape.
13:35We'll see down the stretch.
13:37You know he's on Pro Box.
13:38Yeah, yeah, I was about—
13:39Let me tell you something.
13:40You said that on Pro Box much.
13:41I feel like you guys—
13:42You came to fight, yeah.
13:43You guys get a little motivation.
13:44Like, yo, they picked me for Pro Box.
13:45I was like, okay, all right.
13:47I must be pretty good.
13:48I've talked to a lot of guys.
13:49They're very excited about actually being on the platform,
13:52which is a cool caveat now
13:55that these fighters are excited to have the platform.
13:58So, yeah, they're bringing their A-games.
14:00Oh!
14:01We're going to bring it back.
14:02Good left hook.
14:03Counter to the right hand.
14:04The right hand hit him was the problem.
14:06Yeah, that's the issue.
14:08He's found a home for it the entire night.
14:11You know what it is.
14:12Martinez is too squared up inside.
14:13If you're going to have that left hand low,
14:15you kind of have to be a little bit more weighted off.
14:16Oh, good shot around the guard by Martinez.
14:20You mentioned the creativity, Paulie, in mixing things up.
14:23He was doing that a little bit earlier.
14:24In flashes, he does,
14:25but then he just allows Puerto to walk right in.
14:28He's super square right in front of him.
14:30Yeah, after those combinations,
14:31a nice jab just to maintain this—
14:32And walk, and walk, and walk.
14:33Right here.
14:34Yeah.
14:35Maybe you should be doing this.
14:37Yeah, but here's the conditioning of Puerto.
14:38Before, he wouldn't have let that go.
14:40Yeah.
14:41Now, he's starting to—
14:42Yeah, he's having the ultimate attack.
14:43Yeah.
14:44I mean, he's only throwing big shots.
14:50Not the most efficient style from either fighter.
14:55You know, it's tough to come back from a knockdown,
14:57especially the shorter the fight is,
14:59but Martinez is having opportunities here.
15:01Just landed a big right hand over the top.
15:04Even with a knockdown,
15:05it certainly isn't a wipeout of the scorecards.
15:07This is risking it right now.
15:08No, super competitive fight.
15:10Whoever finishes these last two rounds strong
15:13will walk out the winner.
15:14I like that straight right hand down to the body.
15:16That was a good thing for Bob and Puerto from Martinez.
15:18He throws that right hand down the wall.
15:21There's a nice combination.
15:24Back comes Puerto.
15:26No surprise.
15:27The end of round number four.
15:29No surprise.
15:30The end of round number four.
15:52You're losing the fight.
15:53You gotta knock him out.
15:59Intelligente.
16:00Control la distancia.
16:03No fuerte.
16:10Corner tailing Martinez.
16:12Keep the distance with your jab.
16:15Johanler the Black Panther.
16:16Martinez out of Cuba.
16:18Looking at Frenjerson.
16:19Puerto.
16:20From Colombia.
16:23A knockdown in round number two,
16:25but a very competitive fight.
16:27Just joining us, our main event, Lester Martinez.
16:29An illness around weigh-in.
16:32Our co-main event moved into the main event spots.
16:35Vladimir Hernandez versus Raul Garcia.
16:39It's gonna be a banger,
16:40but they've been bangers the whole time tonight.
16:44And that's the beautiful thing about these cards.
16:46They're good top to bottom.
16:48Yeah, our main event fell out.
16:49Yeah, our main event was good, but guess what?
16:51So are the rest of the fights on this card.
16:53No problem moving up.
16:54We back ourselves up.
16:55We got substance.
16:56Yeah, yeah.
16:57Deep cards.
17:00Tipping our hats to the Pro Box TV matchmakers
17:02who do their due diligence to find fighters
17:06that are gonna match up in a way for entertainment.
17:08And we got a boss, Gary Jonas, actually hands on.
17:11He's in there.
17:12He okays these things.
17:13He has to okay.
17:14The matchups have to be okayed by Gary.
17:16It's not like, you know,
17:17the matchmakers will put together the show.
17:19The matchmakers know there's a standard to uphold.
17:21They gotta do the work,
17:22but nothing gets through without Gary Jonas
17:24okaying it or not okaying it.
17:26An opening fight.
17:27Yoel Angeloni, the undefeated,
17:29now 4-0, 140 into amateur.
17:32Had a tough fight against Juan Carlos Campos Medina.
17:35Similar thing in this fight.
17:37Martinez out of Cuba in the black and white
17:40decorated amateur.
17:42But Frederickson Huerta,
17:44throw that 5-4 record right out the window.
17:46Out the window.
17:47Look past the numbers.
17:48You gotta do it.
17:49He lost four in a row?
17:50Four in a row.
17:51Looks like he's still 5-0 in his mind.
17:53Yeah, right?
17:54He didn't get the memo.
17:58I'll tell you what, man.
17:59If he loses this fight,
18:00somebody's gonna show up against a 5-on-5 fighter
18:03and get a wake-up call.
18:05The baddest 5-on-5 fighter in the world.
18:11One thing, Chris,
18:12you're a resident fitness nutrition expert,
18:14as you know.
18:15This is where it gets difficult.
18:16Rounds 5 and 6,
18:17you see who's got the goods
18:18and really trained for a six-round fight.
18:20Yeah, and that was what I was questioning earlier
18:22about a guy in Huerta who is 5-on-4,
18:25coming off four straight losses.
18:27Did you take this fight to win?
18:29It looks like he did,
18:30but did you put the time in the gym?
18:31We're gonna find out in rounds 5 and 6 here.
18:33Also, Alton's win by knockout.
18:35Not used to going long.
18:37Used to hitting hard.
18:38Good point, good point.
18:39He's been hitting hard all night long as well.
18:47Paulie Huerta, anything but a cutie.
18:49Right, he's throwing hard punches.
18:51He showed us the fight.
18:55Yeah, you've seen the fatigue setting in.
18:57Both men standing right in front of each other
18:59at arm's length.
19:00Either one could hit the other.
19:02Having a good jab is a good rhythm changer.
19:05Explosive points control the pace
19:08and not explosive energy.
19:11Now, talk about not creative, Huerta.
19:13Just going back to the same combination.
19:14Walks in the front door,
19:15bangs the body on both sides,
19:17throws an overhand right.
19:19He threw an uppercut
19:20or something down the middle.
19:22Creates openings.
19:26Martinez has given that change of level
19:27at least what I was asking for before.
19:30Earlier, you know.
19:39Come on.
19:40Mass, okay?
19:41Yeah?
19:42Not easy.
19:44Roll.
19:45Roll.
19:47Mass, mass.
19:51Come on.
19:54Don't stay in the corner, please.
19:56Don't stay in the corner.
19:58If you stay here, you're out.
20:02Come on.
20:03This is the last one.
20:04Don't leave this here alone.
20:06Come on.
20:07We're ready for our sixth and final round
20:09in what has been an incredibly exciting fight.
20:12Pick your highlight, gentlemen.
20:13Yeah, this is Huerta coming on.
20:15Whenever Martinez is back, he's against the ropes.
20:17Huerta comes in ripping big shots.
20:19It's almost like he's hitting a heavy bag.
20:20He's banging both ends.
20:21Bang, bang, upstairs, downstairs.
20:23And Martinez just lets him do it.
20:25Lets him walk in and takes those shots.
20:27Paulie, has it been that combination,
20:29that imperfect storm of not a lot of footwork
20:31and bad head placement?
20:32You've been commenting on both of those things.
20:34Especially at close range.
20:35Especially at close range.
20:36If you get out at close range,
20:37it's very much more important
20:39to have your positioning of your hands
20:41and your position on the outside.
20:42You can get away with athleticism,
20:44reaction and stuff like that.
20:46You're a person with not great hand positioning.
20:48Close range is not for you.
20:49These guys have body language.
20:51They both know the fight's on the line here.
20:53And they're going to look to put out
20:55a big effort here in the last round.
20:56Good left hook from Martinez.
20:58Martinez really bringing it.
20:59Huerta's got a chin.
21:00He's a clean one.
21:02Very tough physical guy.
21:04Both guys are showing true tenacity.
21:06Corner of Huerta's about to have a
21:08heart attack over there.
21:10I think our boss might be taking a trip to Colombia soon.
21:13Scouts of talent.
21:14Heavy handed guys coming out of there.
21:17Venezuela and Colombia, right?
21:18Venezuela, Colombia.
21:20Central American fighters.
21:22Mr. Martinez is supposed to be our main event tonight
21:24out of Guatemala.
21:29Migrate issues after the weigh-in.
21:32And that's something you don't want to play around with.
21:35Brains are a big deal when it comes to boxing.
21:39You've got a problem with headaches before a fight.
21:42Not a great sign.
21:43You've got to make sure you get checked out.
21:46Hopefully on our air very, very soon.
21:49Nice right hand.
21:51And then a good left hand from Huerta.
21:52They both landed good shots.
21:54Last fight I was asking for combinations from Angeloni.
21:56In this fight you've seen the combinations.
21:57You see the big shot lands and then there are combinations.
22:00Guys put together numbers.
22:02I think Martinez got rocked with that left hook.
22:05He's looking a little unsteady here.
22:08Although he just landed a good shot.
22:11Oh, big left hook.
22:13Huerta walking right through it.
22:15I think he landed quite a body shot too.
22:20Cutting punches.
22:22We are ringside.
22:23They're right in front of us.
22:24You can feel these shots, gentlemen.
22:26Even the rare jabs from Huerta, they're heavy.
22:28He's got very heavy hands.
22:30But that snap, that sharpness that Martinez is flashing
22:33right now, especially with that left hook,
22:35has been very effective this round.
22:40Flashing combinations here.
22:44What a matchup.
22:49What do you say, Paulie?
22:50Look past the numbers?
22:51Yeah.
22:52When you turn on our network.
22:54That's what you do.
22:56First round I said this is a sleepy, good fight.
22:58I'm telling you.
23:01I said sneaky, sorry.
23:02I said this is a sleeper.
23:04A sneaky, good fight.
23:06A sleeper, sneaky, good fight.
23:07You can fix your metaphors.
23:08A sleepy, good fight.
23:10Oh, good right hand.
23:14Huerta always fires back.
23:15He's never shelled up without answering back.
23:20Nice stab jab down low from Martinez.
23:22We've been asking for him to change levels, right, Champ?
23:24Look at him there.
23:25Knocked down in round number two.
23:27Did he get a different way back to win?
23:29That's the question.
23:30Really nice finish.
23:31Simple things like that change of level
23:33gives you a different look,
23:34gives your opponent a different focus.
23:36All of a sudden you slow him down a little bit.
23:37You can get on first.
23:38Sometimes it's the simplicities that get you through.
23:40That fight got me amped up.
23:42That was fun.
23:43So hard to come back from a knockout
23:45in a six-round fight.
23:47You don't have a lot of time.
23:49Fortunately, we're not judges.
23:51That is up to someone else.
23:53Their fighter did an outstanding job tonight.
23:58How often do we see it, Chris?
23:59I want to see that guy again.
24:00I want to see that guy.
24:01Whoever loses, I want to see both these guys again.
24:05Definitely an entertaining fight.
24:06Martinez went down hard in that round.
24:08That overhand right, he was in a world of trouble.
24:10Overhand right, you saw him slump right to the canvas.
24:13Got hit with a couple shots on the way down.
24:16Huerta just showing heavy hands.
24:18Big shots.
24:19Very similar situation again with that combination.
24:21Body shot, head shot.
24:23Caught Martinez along the ropes.
24:24Bad hand position.
24:26More of those big shots.
24:27Like I said, he's hitting heavy back.
24:29And Martinez is allowing him to stay in there,
24:30taking those shots.
24:31You've got a heavy-handed guy.
24:32You don't want to sit there and get banged on your elbows
24:34and your shoulders that way.
24:35But, man, that last round for Martinez,
24:37he flashed some really, really pretty stuff.
24:40Good snappy punches in the last round.
24:42Good boxing at range.
24:44Excellent, excellent fight start to finish.
24:46A lot of respect between the fighters and the corners
24:48in how tough that fight was.
24:51Andy Cruz.
24:52Look at that.
24:53Super, super talented Cuban fighter.
24:55Coming off a huge win.
24:57He's another one of those new-age Cubans.
24:59Gets on his punches.
25:00Yeah, he can fight, man.
25:01He can fight.
25:02Speaking of, Erick Landilara fighting this weekend.
25:04He stopped one of our alumni, Antonio Moran,
25:06in his last fight.
25:09Well, they have the scorecards.
25:11Thankfully, I don't know what they are.

26:11Close, tough fight.
26:16That is a split decision.
26:21You know, the corner, absolutely furious.
26:24Close fight, I do see it.
26:26One round or another, they've gone the other way.
26:28I understand.
26:29This corner is hopping mad.
26:32That's five losses in a row.
