00:00at all time defend yourselves at all time both belt lines are fine anything below this will be

00:04regarded as low best of luck god bless touch gloves

00:11final instructions from victor lachlan there's a qr code get involved people

00:16will we need the judges that is the question it didn't seem likely the first time around

00:20if we're honest in the second half of that fight you wouldn't have put your mortgage

00:26only going the full 12 but go the full 12 it did and in the end we had a draw and that's why we

00:32are here tonight it quite simply had to happen again wardley the defending champion having

00:38retained those titles in the camouflage clark in the blue

00:43looking for that jab which brought him good success in the early stages when they first met

01:02i know he feels that if he has the conditioning to hold that technique that shape

01:09together for longer than he did in the first fight then that can be the key to victory

01:15for him wardley is an interesting mix because he can throw some really good

01:19orthodox punches the jab always comes from low but the punch that put clark down was a good fluid

01:27straight right hand but he also can just heave in big bombs from

01:32wide wing shots in scoop them up from the floor and they come bursting into the

01:37field of his opponent's vision late they appear on the radar late it makes them difficult to pick

01:44up and sometimes hard to brace for he needs to keep throwing them as well because they could do

01:49some damage what shocked me about the first fight was we know that wardley is very athletic and

01:54usually when you're athletic and you're a big man you wouldn't expect him to be able to keep

01:59throwing bombs and keep that level of athletism for the full duration of the fight and his fitness

02:03levels were off the roof in that one and and that was a big shock to me so i understand where where

02:08phrases you know camper feeling about the fitness levels they need to be able to match that fitness

02:12because like you said under you know he started off great last time out behind the jab his shape

02:17was great but as he got caught up in the moment got caught in the tail you know the atmosphere

02:21inexperienced then you know he abandoned the jab and then it became a war of nutrition

02:27slightly and he's trying to cover up on the ropes one of those big winging overhands i was mentioning

02:33he caught him on the temple high on the head i think and you could just see the

02:36legs a little bit of a dance and left hand get through the clock is in trouble here

02:41and he's touched down with 38 seconds remaining in the round and he's in trouble

02:47a little bit of a dance and left hand get through the clock is in trouble here

02:51and he's touched down with 38 seconds remaining in the round and he's in trouble here he's in awful awful

02:58trouble and the referee waves it over and Fabio Wardley has retained those titles courtesy of a

03:06first round knockout what a performance from him that big overhand right caught him on the temple

03:14i think you can see the reddening on that left hand side of his head the legs stiffened he was

03:21in terrible turmoil from that moment onwards he was trying to ride it out he had 30-odd seconds

03:27remaining then he caught him with another left he touched down took a seat almost on the bottom rope

03:34and the referee did absolutely the right thing there Victor Lockman because Fraser Clarke

03:40well he didn't know where he was at that point and i think it'll be a few minutes hours even

03:47before what has actually happened to him in there dawns on him what a performance from Wardley

03:52unreal unreal a massive right hand yeah but that started it off but the shot that actually

03:59done it in the end there was i think there was a flurry of shots i think there's another big right

04:03hook and you know he was hanging on to the rope otherwise he would have been on the canvas and

04:08you know his jaw looks so excited yeah he was worrying that was the first shot that he landed

04:14you see Fraser's legs stiffened yeah they stiffen and they wobble when he goes back to you know he

04:19falls back into the rope and his legs did a little jitter and you knew straight away that it's not a

04:23case he can ride that out you know he tried but then the the finish was quite scary to be honest

04:29and we know that you know Fabio carries immense power what a finish what what beginning what a

04:34finish what performance well i knew i knew we were going to get drama in this fight but i didn't

04:42think it was going to be over so quickly no nor did i nor did i i thought this stoppage was was

04:49perfectly possible but not that early the doctors taking their time checking Fabio Wardley out here

04:56and they will take all of the time that they need Neil Scott their chief medical officer

05:01with the British Boxing Board of Control with the spectacles on

05:05they're all very experienced the medical staff at ringside and they will have to be absolutely

05:12satisfied that he is okay until they move him and every precaution will be taken tonight and overnight

05:20to ensure that he gets the best possible care because this is heavyweight boxing you get caught

05:26by a punch like that the right hand was high on the head and that just took his equilibrium away

05:30completely and it's a game they're in it can happen can't it it is absolutely brutal yeah it

05:36really is and what's devastating for any fighter that gets you know when you're in a massive fight

05:41a huge fight and you know you look at the stage he's on to get done in a round like that is that

05:47he's really devastating you prepared so hard you're so fit you've gone there physically mentally

05:53emotionally and then you just feel like it was over before it even started and and it was it was a

05:59phenomenal shot from Fabio Wardley it really was um it's quite worrying when you when we you know

06:04the camera's zoomed in on there on Fraser's face as he was trying to pull himself up

06:09it had to be stopped there's no question about that

06:16the journey he's been on Fabio Wardley is absolutely amazing through white collar boxing

06:22four white collar fights and then straight into the pros i remember the first time we saw him on

06:26one of our shows back he was on the dealing white undercard and you could tell there was

06:31something there he was unorthodox he had that maverick quality there was some showmanship

06:36about him but also the water mobility and we knew it would be an interesting ride we just

06:44threw but that was quite simply a pulverizing performance

06:56and Fraser Clarke is being escorted out of the ring on the far side let's have another look

07:03yeah it was the right hand over the top wasn't it there bang on the temple

07:07then body shots going in and he unloading here both hands knees are big heavy shots

07:12planting his feet looking for pure power you know Fraser still trying to get hold spoil

07:18you know even throw back a little bit but as he goes around he gets caught with the right hand

07:23here and that big shot there whoa look at the side of his head you know he looks like he's

07:29had a stroke yeah either the side of his head his left side of his jaw and his leg was shaking as

07:34well it was almost scary wasn't it yeah and he was kind of holding it as he goes down when you

07:40see him go down i mean this was good for Wardley though you know who hurts the head target the body

07:46bring the hands down don't let him smother you get in space you know see that big one there

07:53that's it again you see the knees down on the knee there he can't even lift himself up when he's

07:58he can't move there he's almost paralyzed isn't he yeah it was an absolutely tremendous finish

08:03because as you say he gave himself room he attacked the body he didn't panic he didn't

08:08get too excited he didn't rush he was just locked on yeah absolutely clinical i mean you know he's

08:15got the thought process there to go straight downstairs as soon as he hits him with the bomb

08:18upstairs and he sees a reaction he goes downstairs gets clipped with a left hook i mean that shows

08:22what Fraser's about you can see Fraser's falling back into the ropes he's got no legs underneath

08:27him but here he's you know rolling on the rope and then Fraser's just a sitting duck that this

08:33last shot you know he's just an absolute sitting duck yeah fights over there that's what it means

08:44the jaw and the the ref didn't even really need the count did he but but he was giving the benefit

08:50of i think because you've got to give that yeah a few seconds to see can he's head clear a little

08:54bit but he wasn't you know and the ref waved it off then rightly so devastating performance

09:03it really was sensational stuff from Fabio Wardley i wonder what will be in store for him next

09:15ladies and gentlemen here is the official time two minutes 28 seconds of round number one

09:22our referee in charge Victor Laughlin waves off the contest therefore your winner by way of

09:28technical knockout still undefeated and still british commonwealth at wba continental
