00:00you both know the rules so let's just have a good clean fight okay most important to defend
00:04yourselves at all times okay those clothes
00:10so galal yapai returning to the ring for the first time since april this year when he left
00:16the ring with a cut around the left eye on that occasion sustained in an accidental
00:23round one and everyone involved here is hoping that there isn't a repeat of that accident here
00:31tonight this one's scheduled for eight rounds yapai against the 37 year old mexican orozco
00:38jesus christ
00:42yeah i think this will be over soon boys
00:52yapai looking to get his measure and his range in the early stages
01:09this other lad does look like he's never laid a pair of gloves on before in my opinion
01:13i'll be wrong i'm hoping i'm not being too insensitive no i think you're just
01:17um not at all barry do you come on barry what level do you think this
01:23kid is that i'm watching right now in the red shorts
01:34get him out of there man no no hand injuries please
01:39it looks pretty comfortable in the middle here for galal just
01:41working behind the jabs you want to get too close to get any any damage
01:47all i'm saying is whatever galal's getting paid for this is way too much
01:50that's what i'm gonna say
01:51so
02:14that's a shotty one just double it up a little bit and follow through that left hand
02:19yeah i mean he's looking nice galal but you can see he's not even trying
02:24you can see there's no threat there's no jeopardy there's no
02:30yeah not much of nothing but i suppose it's good
02:35for our fight anyway yeah of course and it's important for him to get out if he feels like
02:39he just needs to get no go to that camp again and get get ready for the fight just
02:43and get into the lights and that uh this is the sort of fight he wants isn't it there's no risk
02:51sure i know but there could be a fight meaning something come right now there could be someone
02:56that's probably bent somewhere not fighting that could be on this slot right now that we're watching
03:01in my opinion i feel like fights like these shouldn't happen in boxing i think
03:06galal is very good i'll be the first i'm one of galal's biggest fans i know how good of a fighter
03:11he is i've spent probably more rounds with him than them than i have with most fighters in the
03:15country or in the world even he's very good so i don't know i think this cheapens boxing in my opinion
03:21hello darlings and helga futuristic scooters old school website relax web upgrades i owned
03:47better design e-commerce and smart ai now you're fit for the future i screwed off now
03:55your digital partner ayanos
04:18heavyweight title in riyadh in two weeks time and it's live here on the zone october the 12th is the
04:24date round two and hopefully this will lead to the flyweight showdown on november the 30th
04:34gala against sonny edwards the olympic champion from tokyo three years ago having his eighth
04:41professional contest and facing mexican opposition for the fourth time very little in the way of
04:47ambition from orozco in the opening round what are the ambitions of yafai here does he want to
04:53get some rounds under his belt i know that seems like a good idea but the longer you're in there
04:59the more more chance something happens so you know if you can get him out there early do it
05:04maybe that maybe that's the intention or to get damage i'm a conspiracy theory i never noticed me
05:11come on signs at the end of the opening round that yafai was beginning to get through
05:19and now once again opens up nicely yeah good good feet there from
05:24from yafai there little skip out to distance and coming back
05:28just a sustained attack now you feel winning yeah and the refs are going to jump in you should be
05:41now that is what he's very good at let me be serious for a second one thing i was very good
05:44at he gets to the edge of range and as he steps and punches he does it at a very good time and
05:50when he gets to the target and there's not much to give back as well yeah that's one thing i i'm
05:54that's one thing i i'm very uh i want to say weary but definitely um highlighting yeah yeah
06:00because it's his bread and butter he gets to the edge and look how he steps and punches he gets
06:04there and he gets into the range with the punch every time he's good that's that just like that
06:10i'll be fair this guy doesn't box like you but you look the same age
06:14and that's about 20 years younger than you barry
06:16it just looks like he's doing it at 60 it looks like when he wants to put a
06:30punch the fight's going to be over look at this handbags at dawn there
06:46okay
06:55that's a good work that's better a bit more sharpness in the way in that world there from
06:59the f5 and winston every time his hands hit that boy's head i don't want to see him start shaking
07:05his right hand
07:13good shot
07:16oh just turns the hand over doesn't he at the end
07:22here he goes he's coming now that's it i think he's bored now
07:36so
07:42first time buying crypto it's like your first visit to a taco truck
07:47you're thinking are these guys legit what's in that do i even like tacos
07:54so you start with un poquito a taster if you like this we can mix things up go off menu
08:03spicy as you like
08:11don't load up with single shots put things together move your feet
08:14it'll give you the shots then okay we just don't see because you'll have a stick up for 10 seconds
08:19come on nice and smart
08:23put them together was the message from robert mccracken in the corner
08:34whose mastermind is so much of britain's olympic success over the last decade and a half or so
08:41and just signs at the end of that previous round the second that yeah i was beginning to do just
08:46that yeah i think he's playing with his food a bit and i was told off for that as a kid so i'd like
08:52to see him get away before the end of the third round well he's the king of the three
08:56rounders so it made sense that he wanted to get to the third but
09:01oh good shot
09:05i was trying to fire back there a little bit there but it's just not the speed in the shot
09:08really to trouble yeah fine and this was my point with the matchmaking it's like obviously galah
09:14is going to be heavy levels above him but why bring a mexican in probably the most durable
09:18people on the planet in boxing ring right are you going to get a cut with all you're going to
09:23get a bad hand for it's going to be the mexican should have got a kid from southport i say
09:28orozco one of 150 active mexican flyweights at the moment that's why i get a lot of work over there
09:40we're like average height i know i know i think i'm actually on the tall side
09:44oh that's good work okay it's just a little adjustment with the feet then he can go again
09:51then yeah the kid can't even keep up with his vision he's blinded himself and just hoping
09:56he don't get hit oh that's it ref we've had enough there we go brilliant attack from yapai
10:06the arm shots coming from orozco having very little effect and this might be it from referee
10:12michael alexander he's going to give it another go just over a minute to go and he's had enough
10:17brilliant attack from galah yafai drives orozco back into the corner and that's the end of
10:24proceedings with just over a minute to go in the third round and all looks set fair now for the
10:30big flyweight showdown in birmingham on november the 30th yeah he's gotta be looking at his corner
10:41there i was going sort of waving his hand saying i don't want no more of this and you know i know
10:46i know sonny's out there joking around playing the playing the part and you are i know you
10:50but he's got a valid point that you want to get out but that was a pretty point okay devil's
10:56advocate so you're managing a fighter he's had as many pro fights galah yafai just about as you've
11:03had world title fights so just another outing going through the fight week process just to
11:08sharpen the mind i'll be real devil's advocate is more fights like that shouldn't happen in boxing
11:14he's been boxing for titles he's been boxing at a level he's been punching holes in people
11:18all around the world so why have we got to see him absolutely punch up a no hoper i'd be real i
11:24just don't like it i just don't like it for the sport every time you every time we all know what's
11:28going to happen that clearly before we get in the fight should not happen because that's when boxing
11:32is dangerous in my opinion okay the moment he took a couple of shots it was waved off that's great
11:37and worldly flyweights that's great but when there's such a gulf of leveling class and for me
11:41galah was a top fighter like let me not ever speak down to my rating highly and i've rated
11:46him high for a very very long time but i just don't like fights like that happen you know
11:50i've launched my company with real fighters only for the real fights only
11:58well galah yafai now heading into that massive domestic clash against the former world champion
12:03alongside us sunny ed was live from birmingham on november the 30th and shown all around the world
12:09here on the zone so yafai consoling orozco in the loser's corner
12:26so was that a useful night's work for yafai or a complete waste of time as many will have seen that
12:32here tonight but at least all seems well no cuts and from what we can see no hand issues and so we
12:41should be set fair now for november the 30th and one of the best domestic fights that can be made
12:47in british boxing no excuses ladies and gentlemen referee michael alexander calls a halt to this
12:58contest the official time of the stoppage one minute 49 seconds of round number three
13:04declaring your winner by tko he's still undefeated galah yafai
13:14well maybe we won't get to see and feel the
