00:00All right, ladies, we went over the rules early in the dressing room.
00:06I want you to obey my commands, protect yourselves at all times, touch them up.
00:09Good luck to both of y'all.
00:11Stephanie Simon told us, I'm going to keep throwing up jabs and then straight rights
00:15and left hooks off of that up jab.
00:18Round number one.
00:21Black trunks for Stephanie Simon, white and red trunks for Claudia Zamora.
00:25Claudia came straight to her like she said she was.
00:28Stephanie shows you really nice jabs.
00:30Stop!
00:31Step back.
00:32Zamora to the inside, immediate separation from referee Lawrence Cole.
00:37Right back to it.
00:38It looked like Zamora was blinking a little bit, maybe a headbutt or something got snuck
00:42in there.
00:43Zamora coming forward.
00:44Jab from Simon.
00:45Simon now the backpedal.
00:48Simon told us in our fighter meeting, I've evolved from being a brawler to a mover and
00:52I'm going to showcase excellent movement, dance like Simon said in our fighter meeting.
00:57There's a left hand, a right hand getting through from Zamora.
00:59Good clever turn from Stephanie Simon.
01:02Nice speed.
01:03Good hand speed from Simon there.
01:06She's just getting away out of trouble.
01:10Clean naked too.
01:12Rear right hand from Ortha without the jab from Stephanie Simon.
01:15Again, that jab is solid from Simon.
01:18Nice little feint there from her as well, I like that.
01:20Good feint, got her out of position.
01:22See the double jab from Stephanie Simon.
01:24Zamora to the inside.
01:25Stop!
01:26Step back.
01:27Step back.
01:28Don't hold behind the back of her head, all right?
01:31We heard Lawrence Cole telling Claudia Zamora do not hold Simon on the back of her head.
01:39Double jab entry for Claudia Zamora.
01:42This is where I think Zamora's MMA style is kind of hurting her.
01:47Instead of keeping her distance while she's close and punching, she's smothering herself
01:51and she's trying to just wrestle.
01:54She said when she was in the clinch, she wanted to show that she was strong and dominant,
01:57but in doing so, she needs to make sure that she's keeping the defense up and Simon looking
02:03completely composed.
02:04Picking her shots really nicely.
02:07Stop!
02:08Stop!
02:09Clinch again.
02:10There's the separation from Lawrence Cole.
02:11We're seeing that up jab on full display here in round number one that Stephanie Simon
02:15talked to us about in our fighter meeting.
02:17The bell, we are through the opening round.
02:23If you want to win real cash, big prizes, then you need to watch the absolute anarchy
02:28on It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere, the world's first live variety giveaway show, Thursdays at 5
02:33p.m.
02:34Eastern on BrinksTV, the kingdom of awesomeness.
02:50That was very nice.
02:51No feint there.
02:52Feint to a 3-2.
02:53Very nice.
02:54She said she was going to put on a show and like showcase what she's been working on.
03:02So far, Simon is doing that and she seems very composed under the marauding forwards
03:08of Zamora.
03:09And in a fighter like Zamora, it is hard to fight because she doesn't come with conventional
03:13punches.
03:14So for Simon to still keep her composure with a wild fighter like Zamora, that's a good
03:20show to her.
03:21Round number two.
03:22Stepping in with the up jab to start the second round.
03:24Stephanie Simon.
03:25A good exchange.
03:26Misses from Zamora.
03:27A good exchange from both of them.
03:28Stop!
03:29Step back.
03:30That was a different start from Simon.
03:31She definitely came in and she's like, no, I'm going to start putting the pace on you
03:36now instead of Zamora coming forward.
03:39Forward pressure again from Claudia Zamora.
03:41Zamora to the body.
03:42Yeah.
03:43She had some good success inside there.
03:45It's because she kept her distance and punched.
03:48Nice body.
03:49Two to the body.
03:50Two to the body from Simon.
03:51Way to come back on top.
03:52Simon on the check hook.
03:53To the body goes Stephanie Simon.
03:54We're seeing that naked right hand from Stephanie Simon.
03:55Throwing the rear right hand before the jab.
03:56I think that really speaks to her confidence and her speed and timing.
03:57Zamora just caught it with a good right hand.
03:58Break!
03:59It was the best punch for Zamora this fight.
04:00Absolutely.
04:01It came after a really nice flurry of punches.
04:02from Simon.
04:03She just switched off for a split second.
04:04You can't do that with someone like that.
04:05Big right hand.
04:06That was slick from Stephanie Simon.
04:07Forty-five seconds remaining.

04:24Still coming forward.
04:25There's that up jab again from Stephanie Simon.
04:26Lovely double jab right hand there.
04:27Very nice from Simon.
04:28Simon's footwork on full display.
04:29Zamora.
04:30Hard to the inside.
04:31There's the hard right hand.
04:32The counter from Simon.
04:33She just switched off for a split second.
04:34You can't do that with someone like that.

04:51The counter from Simon.
04:52Foot from Zamora.
04:53Heavy pressure into the clinch.
04:54Separation again from Lawrence Cole.
04:55Fifteen seconds remaining.
04:56Round number two.
04:57I spoke to Stephanie earlier on.
04:58She said that she's big into her music and she's going to put on a performance.
04:59You can see the treble clefs on her shorts as well.
05:00Very nice.
05:01Very nice.
05:02Very nice.
05:03Very nice.
05:04Very nice.
05:05Very nice.
05:06Very nice.
05:07Very nice.
05:08Very nice.
05:09Very nice.
05:10Very nice.
05:11Very nice.
05:12Very nice.
05:13Very nice.
05:14Very nice.
05:15Very nice.
05:17She's putting a performance on.
05:18She is.
05:19She's in a good rhythm.
05:20Yeah.
05:21It speaks to the musician in her.
05:22Absolutely.
05:23We are through two rounds.
05:32Claudia did talk about trying to break Stephanie's relentless rhythm.
05:36We've just said that.
05:37It's like a bad relay game.
05:38Yeah.
05:39It's on show and she's not really managing to stop it at the moment.
05:42It's just flowing naturally now.
05:44Yes.
05:45Samara's going to have to get on her own rhythm and disrupt Simon's rhythm.
05:50And land maybe a meaningful punch.
05:52Yes.
05:53She said land something that's going to make Simon think,
05:56okay, I'm going to step back a little bit and have a rethink.
05:58Get her respect.
05:59Yeah.
06:04Simon's come here with a determination that will not be denied tonight.
06:08So I'm looking forward to seeing how we do in this round.
06:11Side back.
06:12All the way.
06:13Come on, Samara.
06:14All the way back.
06:19Lawrence Cole properly positioning Stephanie Simon.
06:24Number three underway.
06:30The greatest referees.
06:35There's the big right hand from Stephanie Simon.
06:38Samara landed one too.
06:39That was a great exchange.
06:40Good boxing from both of them.
06:42Samara heavy to the inside.
06:44Gladys Samara has been walking through some big punches.
06:47I've commentated her in pro MMA.
06:49She has a very aggressive smart style.
06:53She's trying to implement that against Stephanie Simon.
06:56But again, you see the footwork, the slickness on the outside of Simon
07:00and that hand speed right there on cue.
07:03Samara is struggling with the footwork, like you said.
07:06She's bringing her feet together a lot between her combinations.
07:09So therefore, Stephanie is able to really capitalize on that
07:13and knock her off balance.
07:15Just saw the duck under of the Samara hook by Simon.
07:2155 seconds remaining.
07:23Round number three.
07:25A little shimmy out from Simon.
07:27A little shimmy from Simon.
07:28I love it.
07:30Well, a good exchange of shots from both of them.
07:33I want to give Samara all the props.
07:36Because she's making a good round.
07:38She's coming back this round.
07:39She may not be winning the round,
07:40but she's not losing as bad as she was the last round.
07:44Nice head movement there from Simon.
07:46She's really starting to read some of these punches coming from Samara.
07:51On the right hand.
07:53Samara to her credit.
07:54Right back to the inside.
07:55And Gladys Samara smartly throwing the body every time she clenches
07:59until she's broken by referee Lawrence Cole.
08:0215 seconds remaining.
08:03Round three.
08:04That was a lovely right hand that knocked the head back of Samara
08:07just as they broke out the clinch.
08:10See the flurry to the body from Stephanie Simon.
08:12That's what we call a shoeshine.
08:14There we go.
08:16Jab from Samara.
08:17Partially landed.
08:18Time!
08:19Punch slightly after the bell.
08:21No worries from either fighter or referee Lawrence Cole
08:23as we move to the fourth and final round.
08:26Solid one-two on the bell there.
08:28That was beautiful.
08:29Perfect timing.
08:34Last round.
08:37Samara's corner sort of pleading with her a little bit.
08:40Last round.
08:42I think they wanted to do something more.
08:45Yeah, here goes that last one-two as soon as the bell rang.
08:49Defend yourselves at all times.
08:51All times, baby.
08:54There's always confusion in that.
08:56We're under the unified rules of boxing.
08:58The rule is it's when the action of this punch starts.
09:02It's the same in MMA, the same in bare knuckle.
09:04The strike, the punch.
09:05It's when the action of that strike starts,
09:07not when the bell sounds.
09:09So if you've started throwing the punch in professional boxing,
09:12the bell sounds, you're mid-flight,
09:14it's still a legal punch.
09:15Absolutely.
09:16I'm glad you explained that for our casuals.
09:18Come on, coach!
09:23Lawrence Cole starts the fourth and final round
09:26literally sprinting out of her corner to start the final round.
09:29Claudia Zamora.
09:30Leading with the backhand, which I quite enjoyed there.
09:34She almost kneed her, but she didn't.
09:36She kept that foot down.
09:37But Zamora is having the most success she's had in this whole fight
09:40in this first 10 seconds or 20 seconds of this round.
09:43Stephanie Simon, winner of the 2024 US Olympic Boxing Trials
09:48versus Claudia Zamora,
09:49the 10th pro-MMA fight veteran and her pro-boxing debut.
09:53Pro-boxing debut as well for Simon.
09:56That's a fantastic experience for Stephanie Simon there.
09:59That marauding come-forward style there.
10:02You just got yourself the head out of the washing machine, as they say.
10:05To the body on the level change from Simon.
10:08Took some big punches.
10:09Simon's looking good.
10:10She's got that rhythm back.
10:13Heavy double-unders.
10:14There's the hard turn.
10:19Stephanie Simon, who has an amateur wrestling career,
10:21almost hit a wizard throw on that turn.
10:24Not quite legal under the Unified Rules of Boxing.
10:26Good body shot from the inside.
10:2950 seconds remaining in this super lightweight fight.
10:33Overhand right from Simon.
10:35Zamora back to the inside.
10:37Flurry to the body from Simon.
10:40Zamora jab to the head.
10:42Fast jab right back.
10:43Simon has never negated her jab in this.
10:46And as she's set things, everything up with it.
10:49It's been really nice to see her.
10:51Beautiful.
10:52As soon as they get out, she jabs.
10:55Clean right hand.
10:57There's that naked too.
10:58That right hand has been there for Simon.
11:00That rear right hand.
11:02I'm telling you, it's because she touched him with the jab first.
11:04She knew where that right hand needed to go.
11:07Big left hand now from Simon.
11:09Simon to the body.
11:1010-second clock.
11:12Final stages of this fight.
11:17Gladia Zamora's been game.
11:18She's been tough.
11:19Stephanie Simon.
11:21Phenomenal with her footwork, her timing.
11:23And that is the end of the fight.
11:34A contrast in styles.
11:35A contrast in philosophies.
11:37Gladia Zamora feeling very good about her performance.
11:40As one would believe is Stephanie Simon.
11:43I think Zamora's coach is so happy there because he asked her to go out
11:47and put it all out there in that last round there.
11:50And she did exactly.
11:51It was asked of her.
11:52So, you know, as a coach, you can't ask for anything more, can you?
11:54That's right.
11:55Regardless of the outcome, she delivered what he asked for.
11:58And we all got a good fight out of it.
12:02Stephanie Simon.
12:03Gladia Zamora going the distance.
12:05All four rounds in the super lightweight division.
12:08An historic night.
12:10Nine women's pro boxing bouts still to come.
12:13Our two title fights with the spectacular luck stage.

14:19Stephanie Simon, the elegance of the footwork, the timing, the speed from range.
14:24Absolutely.
14:25And she showcased what she wanted to do.
14:26She went in there and she showcased it.
