00:24boxers enticing hope vidale riley just caught ben shalom's eye and he cannot wait for this
00:30it's a really good looking fight and another example of how turkey al sheik the ring and eddie
00:36and ben could combine to give the fans what they really want 50 50 fights darren at high level
00:44yeah really really good fight this for the british cruiserweight title what a venue tip
00:51how's this fight fantastic the fan zone was interesting in the ring walk there 71 favoring
00:59vidale riley
01:02you get the challenger tonight vidale in the spurs colors that all red and barry virgil hunter in
01:09the corner for chef clark that's a uh well he's a very very established trainer yeah he's a very
01:16very thoughtful trainer and whether that's the right fit here for siobhan clark we're gonna find
01:21out tonight but i like the way riley started out there just you see him just leaning over to his
01:26right ever so slightly you can get that jam into play and avoid that right hand there of clark but
01:30also take a little step back with the back foot to make clark for a little bit short with his with his
01:35attacks he's really talented riley he's good on his feet he's got a lovely rhythm to his work i remember him
01:42when he was in floyd mayweather's gym many years ago a really good young amateur as a school boy
01:50just wasn't sure what he wanted to be a coach a star on the social media circuit he's got a huge
01:57following but he's knuckled down and under his dad has decided it's boxing for him and this is the time
02:04he believes talking about waves wasn't he in the press conference and he's riding the one now yeah the
02:10footwork that you pointed out there is what impressed me i think most with vidal riley moves
02:17with a nice rhythm sharp on the feet as you see there to step out of range avoiding the shots coming
02:23his way so it's so important for chev who i'm a fan of i am i just love it when he goes through his
02:29gears shows me a bit more urgency and that's exactly what he's going to need tonight certainly with the
02:34feet sharpness of hands to get close nice one two there from from riley real shout counters and clark's
02:41got to remember when he gets that over that front foot just to roll that body i think it's important
02:46that he tries to walk riley down he knows he's going to not commit the sharpest of the two early on
02:50if he just makes riley work hard that'd make just pay dividends as the fight goes on i was thinking
02:55exactly that barry that chef clark's shoulder's just a bit stiff and riley already getting into
03:01the groove in the first round he's seems to be boxing at his pace enjoying himself already and uh
03:10as a step into the big league this is an impressive beginning for the man from tottenham yeah just
03:16looking at riley's movement albeit very very good but he does throw the jab
03:20he decided to go to the right there but he had been gliding ever so slightly to his left just
03:27seeing it there that's an opportunity for chef to throw the right hand
03:32just out of range though clark pickpocketed by vidale riley's got center ring and got that first round
03:51what's he got saying turn around or join them
04:10one time stray dog you've got the instinct now get the training
04:20good jab working okay okay stay defensively responsible okay good job
04:39what a beautiful setting and a lovely night as well
04:42the weather's been kind to us here at tottenham hot spur which is beginning to fill up
04:49so much ahead and of course the big one later on it is eubank junior ben finally
04:57they meet in this 18th tiny ring i cannot wait darren and battery that's gonna be fireworks and these giant
05:04stadiums are weird because they're so big but you look down and you look back up again in a couple of
05:09seconds and it's full i don't know how it happens and every scene is great in this place it's a
05:15brilliantly designed stadium and it's the home for vidale riley the spurs fan the 27 year old in his
05:22biggest fight fight number 13 it was chef clark the british champion who lost a european title tilt out in
05:30monaco so he's had to rebuild and he's uh he's got to get to grips with riley quickly now this
05:36this is nice from riley really really good he's in the center of the ring he's taking that little
05:41step out of range i like the feints as well there's little jerky movement to the hands with
05:45the feet just sort of trying to draw out the lead from chef lovely sharp jab again and you mentioned
05:50the story there it's incredible but that was literally threw up a stone's throw away from him
05:56you can see the old stadium when the school just around the corner now he's fighting for the british
06:00title this is good to hear from riley because he's not going to agree with his success he's landing with
06:05the jab the one the odd one-two he could do more work but that allows that allows clark back into the
06:11fight and for clark he's trying to get on his toes it would get some rhythm but he has to commit
06:15he's a big strong guy he's physically strong he has a heavy hand he's got to get that chest over the
06:20front over the front knee and try and push the fox travels riley back yeah he needs to get that jab
06:26going chef clark jab beats speed vernon forest always used to tell me but the speed and the guile
06:32is with vidale riley here who's uh got into a nice flow right at the beginning of this british title
06:40challenge he's a joy to watch at times riley he's a cool guy outside of the ring and he just sort of
06:47transports that inside look he didn't get out to pay for that there clark clark's just going to hit
06:55him anywhere he's trying to look for that perfect shot hit him on the arm hit him anywhere just make
06:59you feel a little bit uncomfortable but at the minute riley is flowing yeah hundred percent we've
07:03already seen him throw a couple of straight shots to the body the jab and the right hand he's having
07:07success down there chev clark that's what he's got to target that area then he can work back upstairs
07:13nice groove nice rhythm to the work of riley so far i love his feet vidale riley and uh he's
07:22amassed this perfect record in a way that an old-fashioned fighter should english champion
07:29and now a british title tilt at the age of 27 right hand partially blocked by clark but he's made a
07:36very good start here yeah don't think about it too much you can touch him with that with that lead
07:57and he's right there open that for me please yeah so the ring card characters continue here's aj we've
08:06had hannibal lecter we've had david beckham and ed sheeran i mean it's something different isn't it
08:14which is what we love entertainment i thought i'd see a barry jones one right and sometimes you're
08:20getting the angle there's a real barry jones with you wouldn't be able to see it and you're not throwing
08:24too slow in the position you're getting the angle on it you're going to throw it 10 seconds
08:29derrick riley vidale standard just want to bring in the rings mike coppinger here how impressive you
08:34be with riley's start riley has really impressive athleticism his feet are really fast and as barry
08:41mentioned i think chef clark's going to have to really amp up the pressure and get more physical
08:46with riley to try to close the gap in athleticism here i saw chef clark just now stand up in between
08:51rounds a la george foreman but not fighting like him that's for sure have you seen a lot of vidale
08:56before mike i have not and i'm really impressed and you've seen how great his personality is he's an
09:01influencer so it could be a star in the making here yeah he was brilliant when he was young
09:06fidel going to the body now chef clark clark an olympian he's got plenty of pedigree himself and
09:13he's got power he just can't get into this at the moment and the worst thing you could do for a
09:17rhythm fighter like like riley is let him get into his rhythm he's got a nice little flow here and also
09:23the clark is very difficult but it's doable you've got to get him out of that rhythm what you do with
09:27that if you hurt him you hit him hard you hit him anywhere and you hit him often
09:32good against ellis sorrow wasn't he winning the british title chef clark very popular on the scene
09:40they both are really right hand from riley to the body he just looks like he's always enjoying
09:48himself without riley in there concentrating but he looks almost effortless at times what is in his
09:56groove this is how he wants to to be fighting this fight this is exactly how we will have visualized
10:01this fight moving jabbing walking chef clark onto the shots and again you know i can't
10:08keep repeating myself i will though he needs to be dropping shots to the body the straight shots to
10:14the body body shep clark then bring your feet in he needs to go again two phase attacks but they need
10:19to be sharp he's trying to do it down because riley's slipping the jab on it's forcing clark to lean over to
10:25the right downside which means he's leaning slightly back so there's nothing on that he's no weight on the
10:29front jab because he can't follow through with that right hand lovely work there just watching the
10:35feed of vidal riley as he's gliding around the ring here and chef clark just out of range it'll be
10:43fascinating to see what virgil hunter is going to say to him and virgil of course who brought andre ward all
10:51the way through is that time with america and joshua balazzi lately so he's used to the brits
10:56he's got to step them fro chef clark stepping first he's falling short with that lead hand but if you
11:03sorry if you bend your legs that front foot will naturally go forward and all you've got to do is
11:08come up a little bit not a little bit and you're closer to the target automatically then you can throw
11:12the shots get that front foot closer and but do that by bending the legs that allows like ujic does it all
11:18time ends up he bends his legs if the front foot comes closer mike coppages nodding dara bark is
11:24nodding everyone in agreement with barry jones good spot there and vidal riley in a great spot
11:30three rounds in chef clark just back with a thumping punch at the end of the round but it's
11:36revealed to vidal riley surely in this arsenal spurs darling
11:41now you just need one adjustment punch where he's gone when he's moving
11:48you're trying to punch what about this for a fight i think it's one of the best on the
11:54schedule coming up for you it's the second event of the queen's free partnership winter zone anthony
12:00kikache against leeward the ibo super featherweight world title made the tenth part of our 185
12:08plus fight nights a year i'm going to go straight to you darren barker we're already talking about
12:13going up to nottingham and how we do it we can't wait that is what i mean the main event fantastic it
12:20really is two brilliant fighters the heavy-handed kikachi versus the the seasoned pro the seasoned champion
12:29would what snooze fest it's a guaranteed banger isn't it unbelievable it's a guaranteed absolute
12:36humdinger kikachi in wood what are we going to get here chef clark it's time really to knuckle down
12:43here in your red trunks the 34 year old c4 brilliant character on the circuit he's uh he's worked the uh
12:52um the media and he's worked hard for the comeback here after the european title loss but he's got plenty to
13:01think about here he's out of range with his jab riley beating him to the punch and uh he's in need of
13:09some success maybe to the body here exactly what i see he took a nice step then he threw a one two to the
13:15body he had a little bit he had a little bit of success in that last round not not long enough to
13:21win the round maybe but the build off and i think that's important that you've got to take the
13:24positives even when you are behind being the pressure fighter which he hasn't been yet but he should be
13:29and the physically the stronger you would feel that he just you know you've got to work your way into the
13:33fight but i just think there needs to be more urgency when he does decide to attack you've got to believe in
13:39yourself do you think some of that belief went darren a little bit out in monaco because everybody seemed
13:47to fancy clark would get the job done he was down early and then out pointed yes he was dropped in
13:54the opening round and you've got to give him a lot of credit but for scale he boxed to a very good game
14:00plan heavy-handed he was when he landed some big shots this man he did tick boxes but i just felt there
14:06was always more look he's a very laid-back person and sometimes those laid-back individuals they
14:14translate that into the ring and you just want to see him get going get busy 40 shot from riley but
14:19this might be when clark wants it yeah it's just nice and close we're sorry i was just thinking that
14:25myself no i was quite happy with without turning to the center of the ring and maybe trying to push
14:30riley back you've got to be careful when you try and push something back you forget about the straight shots
14:33you end up getting too close to work inside and that brings your opponent into the game so you've
14:38got to push punch long and move your feet after you throw the shots but taking the center ring for
14:43riley's not a bad thing that shows a bit of strength and also we'll just put clark under
14:46pressure a little bit more and make him stand to think and panic a little bit just allows that space
14:52behind we've seen already how quick the feet are of riley when you've got space behind you
14:58you can just at your own pace move back walk your opponent onto shots and a nice right hook there from
15:04riley as well but in a real rhythm just a frustrated look on the face of chivon clark
15:16how to pin riley down and he needs to throw the right hand clark when he glides to his left there riley
15:25but again he threw the right hand like you asked but but where his feet are when he's not getting
15:30closer if he's too far out and that's going to lose his confidence because he's missing and getting
15:34caught yeah he needs to take that right step across when he throws the right
15:38well have a look at this this is connor ben's home headquarters of the ben family i wonder what's
15:57going through his mind eddie heard is here and he came up to us a few minutes ago and said he was
16:02nervous connor when he spoke to him earlier but nerves aren't a bad thing darren and barry how would
16:08you be feeling at this sort of point of an evening your biggest night yeah look there's going to be
16:14nerves and you want nerves you need to feed off of them you don't want them to get the better of you
16:17but one thing for sure haven't seen connor and i will say chris as well having spoke to him wednesday
16:23that they there's a almost a calming confidence about because they know they put in the work and when
16:30you've done that you know you can go into the fight giving it your all
16:34that is at ringside joining the stars of boxing and stage and screen everybody's here tonight it's
16:43going to be rocking in here in a couple of hours time but we've got a lot of good fights first we've
16:50seen a really terrific cruiserweight match up with chris bill and smith and brandon glance and cbs
16:56getting the decision we're still in the 14 stone four world and it's at domestic level good british
17:02fight here fidel riley having a excellent start against chef clark but clark's got power and he's
17:09got a stubborn will and a determination and he'll keep chugging away but it's riley all riley at the
17:16moment it's feet the feet when you fight safely whether you're whether you come forward in a
17:20dancer feet when you're the fight for balance and the balance of riley here it's fantastic he's
17:24fainted in stand the faintest way in now as well moving to the skip to the side with the punch
17:29on the fly where he's moving boxing really well here yeah that that step to the the right hand side then
17:35throwing the right hand over the jab of clark really really impressive
17:39when he turned pro abroad for now riley it was all a little bit obscure he trained ksi of course when
17:49ksi fought logo paul we got to know him a great deal but he the love of boxing really is in the core
17:57he built that instagram following that i had a long podcast with him about four months ago and he said
18:04adam i'm telling you boxing is my life i want to be a world champion i don't care about the the fame
18:10and the that the the fans are there of course but it's what he does in the ring and i think he's got
18:16the right attitude now and he's got the talent this is a big step up for riley you know clark's box is a
18:24really good level again people sitting on that on that sign is there on the ring that's going to be an
18:29issue as the night goes on that might possibly get worse as well yeah what can be done about that the
18:36fatal fury key city of wolves to the whole event but the fighters just slipping on that body shot from
18:46clark was good another one and this is what he's got to do to try and slow down the pattern excellent
18:53from chef clark in this fifth round yeah there did seem to be a reaction there from riley with that left
18:59to the body landed sort of double down yeah a little bit of lack of experience there from riley
19:07for clark again not using the feet cricket up to jump on him
19:11you've got to stop looking for the perfect shot here clark and just let your hands go
19:18heavy handed though chef clark if he could land a couple more just to stop riley in his tracks he comes
19:26back with a body shot he's got seven knockouts on the slate riley clark probably the biggest single
19:33puncher can he find that body again of riley
19:47not like this that's why he's bringing heat and pressure yeah that's why now it's important
19:55that you do what we were doing in the gym who's going to bring heat and pressure okay
20:02so you've got yes hc get off to the side
20:06the new fight he's going to come charge forward like the ball he's going to tell you about switch
20:10between the rounds use fight card on the other zone player relive any of the action you've missed
20:16rewatch the best bits through the night stop taking it is the future
20:20with the wrist though he's standing on the tender line fight card get involved
20:25and let's get mike coppager involved in our boxing so well just a sign of chef clark coming back in with
20:31some body shots there yeah i think it's been a rather easy fight to score so far i gave a doll
20:36riley the first four rounds using that superior footwork and chef clark the last round so 4-1 riley
20:43but chef clark did a great job in that last round adam he went to the right right hand to the body and
20:48followed up and he's gonna have to do more of that slow him down what would virgil hunter have said to him
20:54in the corner we didn't hear that i think i think virgil hunter would be telling him to counter more
21:00and jab with him i think when we've seen chef clark jab with vidal riley he's had a lot of success
21:05you see him doing it now and of course virgil hunter known for counter punches absolutely brilliant
21:11defensive coach isn't he but chef clark needs rounds yeah and i was about to say at the back of that a
21:17bit more urgency a bit more snap a bit more variety in the work with a bit more meaning
21:23yeah it's so important for riley to remain disciplined with the footwork this is where he
21:34wants to be doesn't want to get backed up too far allow space behind you as i've already mentioned
21:40try and walk clark onto the shots
21:42start to see him get the left hook into play as well check counter hook
21:51double jab here for clark no up and down with it head body right hand over the top nice smooth rhythm
21:58no load up on your shots while riley's taking the rest that's the opportunity to work slipped again there
22:03chef clark and again and they're not happy with this what could be done is the canvas got to be replaced
22:10barry here if there is one here i don't know right they might get all the magicians around people
22:17pay a fortune for these advertising by the way you know it's all uh well i don't know i've never seen
22:22it like turning your jumper inside out i don't know the boots as well certainly brandon glanton had
22:30trouble with it they've got to get on with it into the sixth round here and chef clark getting closer but
22:38he nearly walked onto a big over half right there from riley to be fair it bumps off
22:45takes a good shot
22:50yeah we've done it in fact i will deal with it yeah no more the every just having a uh a small word
23:02with chef clark and vidal riley just trying to tidy things up yeah no malice at all anything
23:11that's really displaced he's only been a pro three years chef clark has had to pack it in
23:17he's 34 now
23:23showing some experience there in the corner as well as the referee went over to chef clark
23:27bryde just looking at his coaches looking to gain more information and advice
23:33keep working then stop boxing stop boxing focus
23:41a little bit scrappy here isn't it in this round
23:46yeah normally three punches landed a lot missing
23:49and they're having trouble with the canvas slipping and sliding let's see that again it's getting worse
24:00it's getting ready look at his stomach
24:13see how he's breathing
24:18i'm still waiting for that right hand on the top off to show me that
24:30well from the back he definitely looks like aj doesn't he aj didn't have his um greatest night
24:39at tottenham alexander rusek did what a night that was a few years back we've also had tyson fury
24:46fight here and tonight it's all about eubank jr and fans at that corner what it's experience now
24:54fidel reilly needs in this british title challenge he's ahead on the card surely at the halfway mark
25:02he's boxed really well at times but he's got to do it through the championship rounds as well
25:09seven years younger
25:1113th fight for fidel reilly chef c4 clark in fight number 12 only that one defeat to
25:19mascara so pretty much a battle of the unbeatens and the turn of trying to grip this canvas
25:26and it's been hard interesting as well i don't know it was that chev clark throughout the fight
25:30he stood in the corner in between worlds and i love you dad i'm not really a fan of that
25:36i think you know the the top amateurs you used to see him always standing in
25:40in between corners i'm sure he's just adopted that from the amateurs you know career as we pointed out but
25:46yeah i'm not fine you've got the opportunity to sit down within that minute do so mike you mentioned
25:52it earlier you spotted that are you in favor of it or not i mean i'm not a fighter so i can't see how
25:57effective it is but i haven't really seen many fighters use it over the years it's pretty unorthodox
26:02and chef clock so far has been a step slow so well i haven't said that as well look when you spiral the
26:08rounds in the gym you never sit down when you're sparring you're doing you know hundreds of rounds of
26:13sparring so that's probably you know how he feels comfortable obviously but the intensity is not the
26:18same is it especially when you go down the down the stretch when you really are pushing for pace
26:23and you are tired that rest is is quite quite important to you you've seen the punches thrown
26:28huge amounts by riley just uh four more on the stats landing but the feel of the fight the rhythm
26:34as much well certainly the birds draw out much more in riley's favor clark has closed the distance he is
26:42trying to get to the body it's become scrappy and messy but i suppose he needs to do that the champion
26:47yeah you've got to try and take away that jab and the range of riley and he's sort of been able to do
26:52that the last few rounds here clark i still think he needs to be a little bit more assertive a little
26:56more energy in his work though just a little acceleration of pace and some of those combination that
27:01that clark is throwing yeah double jab to the body step in then let the right hand over the top go
27:07i think for riley just keep it simple jab one two take the step walk onto the shots get back into
27:13that groove that rhythm but it does get hard here the nervous energy adam talking about clark i've just
27:20spotted fraser clark with a a nice hat on opposite at ringside they're coming in thick and fast as the
27:29atmosphere builds quite past seven less than three hours away from a fight we have been waiting so
27:38long for you back junior and back and you ask all the fighters in fight week they've got different
27:44predictions they're not quite sure one or two sitting on the fence it's great right hand there from
27:51riley and again lovely shot full rotation in that right hand as he was backed onto the ropes riley
28:01lovely work boxing well here
28:08okay put it on it okay you got the energy okay breathe in
28:13you're not contained just keep that jab working and when you hit don't know what i want to make
28:21contact on him okay he's draining he's draining
28:29and when you're and when you tie it up stab him with the knife okay don't go around stick it in it
28:34don't take much just drive it through he's on my feet straight away huh he's on my feet straight
28:38yeah yeah but when you got one hand free he can't say nothing he's pulling up
28:47i'm prison yeah
28:56seconds out round eight father and son derek and vidal
29:01nigel and connor famous father and son a little bit later for you nigel
29:08of course living and breathing every moment of this build up then
29:13derek does too with vidal they're super close and you heard in the other corner there darren
29:18chef clark they wanted to use the jab they feel that riley's draining but is it working
29:24yeah i would like to see a bit more urgency you know i think that's what's required
29:30from chef clark so let's see him just stepping everything a bit quicker more intent close that
29:36gap again we're seeing them slip in the center of the ring just more of it more shots to the body
29:44more pressure on that front foot if riley is fading then make it even worse for the local man
29:51well he slowed down riley i don't like so like we always say if he slows down you go harder that's
29:58the opportunity to make to make the difference
30:05and it's the experience that comes in of being a british champion fighting for a european title as well
30:12it's the level above where riley's been that he's stepped up really nicely tonight riley he said this was
30:20the right time that you need to be a british champion round about 27 28 not 34 he feels clark's reached
30:28his ceiling the thing is that once once clark lands with a big shot you watch how he works off that
30:34oh quickly oh quick oh he clippers up everything with his arsenal and everything he'll really let
30:38his hands go so we know he could do it but he's at the point in the fight now where i think you know
30:43he's having more success in the last few rounds but he needs to start doing it now well we saw him stop
30:48david jamison tommy mccarthy was a good one in four and his sorrow you know he can really punch at any
30:55stage of the fight but maybe it is urgency and being busy and just committing to each round and
31:03giving the judges a reason to to pick him yeah look as barry said it's there it's not like we're asking
31:08him to do something he hasn't got that fight against zorro i was frustrated because the ending when it did
31:14come was very very impressive but there was rounds when you thought zorro was boxing really well
31:19so there's times you're just winning clark on let your hands go come on show us a little bit more
31:25already if they're right if virgil hunter is right and riley's starting to feel the pace then make it even
31:30worse for a little short right hand there from riley looking one back there from clark yeah clark got it
31:40right down back when he just slipped there and riley senses an opportunity that could be catastrophic by
31:47the way yeah lee emery not really knowing what to do the referee it's a difficult one
31:54riley on his feet back to the jab
32:04both finding it really difficult to get a grip on the camera so maybe that's why the power
32:09punches are don't let him get excited about this cut okay okay his mouth is open you see his mouth open
32:16it's not a little scratch okay okay all right close the distance on him start throwing accurate shots
32:38okay
32:38yeah when you throw a big punch make sure you make don't don't abandon the right hand
32:45let's put it in his shoulder eventually it's gonna catch it okay corners 10 seconds stay balanced don't
32:52leave your feet you got me look at me you got him okay let's do it
33:02let's bring mike from the ring back in um our expert at ringside what do you think here
33:08scoring wise yeah adam i've only given chef clark one round so i have it said uh i have it eight to
33:15one sorry seven to one for vidal riley and like darren has said as well i think chef clark needs to
33:21amp the pace up right now and kind of make vidal riley feel his physicality in there and he's just not
33:27doing it and of course they're having issues with putting him there as well so that could be affecting his
33:32power it's hard to argue really that that riley has won any all the rounds and clark's gonna
33:38he's gotta throw caution to the wind doesn't he mike yeah absolutely because he's in danger of losing
33:42his second consecutive fight he's coming off with a split decision against leonardo mascara so that's
33:49what i like about this ring magazine car the first three fights featured boxes coming off losses in
33:53tough fights yeah well matched all night five fabulous fights look at that finnell riley slipping
34:02again and now the referees he's almost he's asking what to do what does he do i don't know what can you do
34:07i mean it's not i think they're getting told to wipe but i don't think it's that i think it's the print
34:15well this is a real problem ben shalom on his feet eddie and barry her looking over rick reno from
34:21the ring as well fatal fury city of the wolves i have to say that's not unique for this we've seen this
34:30you know many times before and i would say in the last sort of 10 years it's been more so than ever
34:38what is very important now not just in this fight but the the future fights on this event it's so
34:45important for the fighters when they're looking to throw their rear hand they take a front step
34:50a big step it gives you a bit more stability you are fighting on a wet surface so important that you
34:58bring that front foot in right hand from riley seen it often with boots that haven't been scored properly
35:07as they get inside the center ring and here comes chef clark and can riley fight with him this will be
35:15interesting to see whether he elects to stand and trade riley after boxing so well he had a nice
35:23uppercut there clark i think their feet were tangled a little bit it was a good shot and riley certainly
35:27felt it for sure that was good though from riley just stopped in clark moving forward it was a nice
35:32paint and have a good right hand on the top of the head though he took it well riley much better
35:36from chef clark here he comes in the ninth round he's looked a bit sleepy in between rounds in the corner
35:44and he's woken up and i wonder if eddie herne watching on will be shouting out some encouragement
35:52in these last few minutes because a body shot from clark it's better he's landing punches but
35:58he's got a lot more to do to hold on to this title he has he's got a build on this he's got to work get
36:03busy it was good from riley though but he tied clark up he pushed him back that was intelligent work from
36:11vidale riley really showing what he's got he's putting it together on the biggest night of his
36:18life just around the corner from where he grew up tottenham through and through vidale riley
36:26just took his foot off the gas here clark
36:30when he needed to go again yeah he did that loads riley back into the round
36:33well he did better there chef clark but he needs more
36:46championship rounds it's not about skill anymore
36:51about heart now yeah
36:55but the body's there yeah derek's right isn't it it is now about heart the championship rounds he's never
37:00gone 12 so he's just got to grit it out because he's boxed so well i i understand that he's still
37:06got to keep your shape don't say that it's all about heart and he's correct i think he knows he's
37:10fighting knows his son you force a guy just his oliver hat and he tries to just make a fight
37:15now he gets caught he's in trouble so now it's about discipline breathe deep he took the other hand
37:21these last few rounds he's disciplined discipline discipline
37:23clark is the one who needs a rocket at the back so he said go out there and you've got to take this fight
37:28the strut of the neck not sure that was a rocket uh it was pretty calm in that quarter again he's got
37:40six minutes to somehow hold on to this british cruiserweight title probably needs a knockout chef
37:47clark and he's got to find it in these last three rounds adam virgil heard there's a brilliant trainer
37:53he's a brilliant teacher he's a really good coach but i think in that sort of scenario you need
37:59something you need to snap across an old-fashioned snap across the face and go get out there do what
38:04you can do ronnie davis at that stage to chris humank when he fought steve god listen if you've got a
38:09boxer like me in the corner he's a waste of time saying that but he's got clark he's got physical
38:13strength and he can't do it so you've got to tell him you don't do what you do well don't keep putting
38:18yourself down for the world champion actually you've got to know you're fighting in that in that
38:21predicament don't get that don't ask him do things he can't do and then get hurt he can do this stuff
38:26but he needs an injection of taste i love listening to you barry jones right into the last couple of
38:33minutes of the tent and fidel riley can he just polish the performance and glide his way home or will he
38:42have to battle it out chef clark just can't get into any sort of rhythm no and he's slipping so
38:48nicely inside that lead orthodox jab of chef clark's and he's he's landing the left to the body the left
38:55uppercut boxing smart he's showing discipline as barry asked for staying switched on not taking any silly
39:03chances and again that's a beautiful lead right uppercut overhand right boxing lovely in this 10th round
39:10fantastic right hand from vidal riley it's been smooth it's been professional and he's he's
39:18learning as he's going along as well he's managed the fight really really well he's controlled the
39:22pace for most of the fight and clark has made him work a little bit but not enough but clark's playing
39:27this part in the wrong way that could be that could be initially that could be a problem there
39:34yeah he might just caught with the elbow there on the way down and look at the cat the clark's
39:42built like a tank so it doesn't have much effect strong and physical chef clark when he was dancing
39:48his way into the ring and singing but he he doesn't have that confident look about him as well i'm sure
39:55he'll say after he just couldn't get into his rhythm tonight a left hand from vidal riley the feeder moving
40:01well again i mean this is brilliant tonight i'll tell you what as well adam there's never a great time
40:09to lose but when you're coming off of the feet the last thing you want is back to back defeats
40:15there's even more of a reason for clark let's go let's get busy
40:19but also it's how other people look at you promoters other fighters there is the perception of you
40:26changing dramatically from being a good fighter or a prospect to a guy who's easy picking and becomes
40:31the victim he just doesn't look quite right in there chef clark wonder if he's over trained maybe he's uh
40:39he's not being himself anyway but you just can't help but applaud what vidal riley has done
40:45this was a 50 50. a lot of people were going for clark to win this eddie and barry here that he's
40:51disappointed over there at the other side of the ring and he's running out of time here chef
40:59meanwhile we saw him at home conor bed alongside his dad nigel is in the building he's here in the lifts
41:09in this fantastic stadium not sure which floor is coming we had a few problems with the elevator
41:16earlier that try to find your way around all connor wants to do is find his way into the ring this has
41:22been shown on the big screen and there's a lot of noise a lot of booze here wow the atmosphere as soon as
41:32his face come on this big screen screen the booze that ring round this stadium he's a reactive fighter
41:40so any reactions get to him because i think with the nerves and reaction it makes him angry when he's
41:45angry he's a better fighter that's just that's just how it is he sucks it up he's high octane and high
41:51emotion is conor bed almost the exact opposite of what vidal riley has done in this british cruiserweight
41:59title fight he has taken his time he's boxed to a plan lovely rhythm and he's six minutes away from
42:08becoming a champion here at british level chef clark has got it all to do mike coppinger on your card
42:18i'm sure it's very very one-sided and clark has just got to go for stroke yeah yeah absolutely clark
42:25needs to show some urgency now i've only given him one round and vidal riley just boxing beautifully
42:31and clark's really not making riley do anything special in there he's able to just do the same
42:36thing round after rounds keep him at the end of his jab and clark's just simply sleepwalking do you know
42:42what i agree 100 percent right there it's not been rocket science here he's just stuck to a disciplined
42:47game plan it's not been you know jumping out of your seat at sight exciting kind of fighting but
42:54he's been so effective with the simple stuff the feet as we touched on even as far back of the ring
43:00wall how classy is it with with that movement left right back and then just fired back with the straight
43:07simple clean shots and also like you said that discipline he hasn't got greedy with his success he
43:12hasn't gone for that extra shot that we gave him to trouble he's not he's not a ko artist
43:17well he has to clean it off them i feel and he must know that he has nothing everything he's told
43:22nothing's really hurt clark so he's kept disciplining with it and i think that approach has been
43:26fantastic he's very intelligent you know riley knows what he possesses and the way that he has gone
43:34about this and he's toughed it out at times two the rhythm has been sweet i think he's judged the
43:41distance so well tonight now that's exactly right you know he's always remained in a good position to
43:49be able to take that step back just trading right hands with chev clark doesn't need to be doing that's
43:54exactly the opportunity that she wants to be able to use your momentum for one of his shots but the
44:02use of a good jab that that riley has shown here it scores for you gets you gives you the trouble
44:08wrong probably makes the other fighter reset it stops his affect automatically if there's no way to
44:13get that job and it's fast enough it just stops him dead in his tracks
44:17and you learn the fundamentals for a reason sweet uppercut from riley clark tries to get one back it's
44:25brave for the man from the raves ending cake chef clark he's trying let's just not flow through
44:36tonight and he's way out with that uppercut and this is an exhibition from vidal riley he's been
44:43absolutely superb through 11 rounds one to go and his dream of becoming a long step and he's
44:52hurt him at the end of the 11th as well wow how about that and chef clark goes back to his corner
44:58a wounded man this shot is absolutely fantastic look at it this other
45:13it's like mohammed ali-esque i'm not please everyone at all i'm not saying it's mohammed ali
45:17it's fantastic that little lean back and right hand over the top that that's absolutely a
45:22beautiful shot the timing is perfection look at it look that is the art of boxing to hit and not be
45:28here that's a mohammed ali right hand that's just a beautiful shot you've already recovered you're
45:36fine well this is everything it really is he can't afford two defeats in a row the european title
45:58didn't go according to plan he's about to lose his british championship there's no question about it
46:04vidal riley has boxed absolutely sweetly from the opening battle and chef clark has 240 to find a
46:12knockout from somewhere and he was the one in a bit of trouble at the end of the 11th yeah it did feel
46:18like if anyone was going to get it in that last round with that beautiful right hand going into this 12
46:24round again the legs look unsteady and that wasn't the the print on the middle of the ring there barry
46:29watch riley's feet right i tell you what looking back at this and watching it again the feet have
46:37been super you can't box like if you don't train like it that's that's that's a that's a guaranteed
46:43so to be on the balls of your feet it's very difficult to do so it's a lot of energy a lot of energy but
46:48he's been on the balls of his feet but never wrapped he's always going to be able to get purchase
46:52on his punches not being able to hurt back we're not just starting from walking through him but speed is what
46:57causes trouble and that last shot in the last round that was speed that clark walked onto it
47:02mike in this first ring event 50 50 fights all the way through vidale riley has made a sort of mockery
47:09of that how well he's boxed yeah and adam what's really impressed me is how relaxed vidale riley is
47:14in there very disciplined effort and now we see him stepping it up uh over these last two rounds he's
47:20on corking some big shots in there he clearly wants to make a statement and really for chef clark
47:25this is the kind of loss that damages you and you're trying to secure future fights i think brandon
47:29glanton raised his stock in defeat and i don't think chef clark's doing the opposite right now we could
47:35play matchmaker here how about riley versus glanton i'd love that let's do it might make it happen
47:43uh vidale riley has got just over a minute here to make that dream come true he won the english title
47:51in a good performance against michael luwau and he told us all week how this was the right time to
47:58ride the wave we've criticized clark even when he's boxed well about going through the gears quick enough
48:06but i gotta be honest riley's feet are a good kid tonight we have to see that riley's movement
48:12have shut down a lot of clark's offense he really had the jab and the movement of the field of running
48:17the fight chef clark twice champion won 10 of 11 olympian as well he's a good fighter
48:27oh big shot there 20 seconds to get through
48:33maybe not even standing on the legs can't find something 10 seconds left he's got to find a knockdown
48:44but he can't he's running out of time the seconds tick away it's been a riley's knife he will be crowned
48:51the british cruiserweight champion chef clark is defeated he knows it that was brilliant from vidale riley an
49:01exhibition of pure boxing and he will be delighted 12 rounds for the first time
49:10a british launchdale belt winner chef clark knows it he knows he's been outclassed in there it wasn't
49:17his night respect between the pair it won't be official but the three judges surely will have it
49:28wide vidale riley with the performance of his career that was not only a good fight to watch the
49:37performance as you said that had them from vidale riley was absolutely fantastic absolutely fantastic
49:46and how about this we've had him in studio tonight already fabio wardley against big baby miller and you
49:55want stadium shows well we're here at tottenham we're going to go to portman road as well we've had
50:00an ed sheeran looking out do the ring card maybe we'll get it there on the night on june the 7th
50:06tony calm without rightly just too smooth too quick too well schooled for chef clark yeah really really
50:16great performance he boxed box out of his skin really from start to finish i i mean tony both
50:22tipped jeff clark and into it and kind of on experience alone we just thought he fought at the
50:26higher level but vidale really i didn't really know he had that in him but he is a really really good
50:32fighter very fit to be able to do that all night as well great performance this is breakout night
50:37simple as that we didn't know what his level was and we still don't know because he's gone in there
50:43tonight and he's dominated chef he's out boxed him at range he's used really good foot speed and if
50:49anything he boxed like a really good amateur tonight because he just used foot speed variation of
50:55straight shots in and out really really good performance i'm impressed right guys we are
