00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:11,194
{\an8}Good evening and welcome
to the world's most famous arena,
3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Official YIFY movies site:
YTS.MX
4
00:00:11,227 --> 00:00:12,879
the Mecca of boxing,
5
00:00:12,912 --> 00:00:17,550
a sold-out Madison Square Garden,
New York, New York.
6
00:00:18,802 --> 00:00:20,620
{\an8}What makes a good trilogy?
7
00:00:21,171 --> 00:00:25,075
{\an8}Well, each of the first
two acts should stand alone.
8
00:00:25,959 --> 00:00:30,413
contribute to the big picture,
but leave the audience wanting more.
9
00:00:31,231 --> 00:00:33,133
While the third and final chapter
10
00:00:33,166 --> 00:00:36,469
provides an opportunity
for a clearer outcome,
11
00:00:37,153 --> 00:00:41,057
whether it's in the form
of redemption or validation.
12
00:00:41,674 --> 00:00:46,029
That notion holds
most consistently true in boxing
13
00:00:46,062 --> 00:00:51,534
because of all the great rivalries
to have entered the ring for a third time,
14
00:00:51,568 --> 00:00:54,370
none of them were one-sided.
15
00:00:55,939 --> 00:00:58,925
In the spring of 2022,
16
00:00:58,958 --> 00:01:01,995
Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano
17
00:01:02,028 --> 00:01:06,349
faced off for the first time
headlining at Madison Square Garden.
18
00:01:06,382 --> 00:01:10,336
Look at these two go!
The female fight of the year.
19
00:01:10,370 --> 00:01:13,973
Katie walked away
with the victory in a razor thin
20
00:01:14,007 --> 00:01:15,975
and contentious split decision.
21
00:01:16,009 --> 00:01:17,594
I thought Amanda Serrano took it
22
00:01:17,627 --> 00:01:18,595
and let's run it back.
23
00:01:18,628 --> 00:01:21,347
Leaving the world impatient for more.
24
00:01:21,381 --> 00:01:24,400
Every person in the stadium
is on their feet.
25
00:01:24,551 --> 00:01:27,537
Simply incredible!
26
00:01:27,570 --> 00:01:30,607
A rematch that had the world buzzing.
27
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,560
-And still…
-And left us hungry for more.
28
00:01:35,812 --> 00:01:37,847
Now, the wait is over.
29
00:01:38,364 --> 00:01:44,287
Live from a sold-out Madison Square Garden
in the heart of New York City.
30
00:01:44,370 --> 00:01:47,791
A fighter who changed the face of boxing.
31
00:01:47,874 --> 00:01:51,678
Takes on the most decorated fighter
of all time.
32
00:01:52,428 --> 00:01:56,382
Headlining an unprecedented
all-female card.
33
00:01:57,083 --> 00:02:03,556
Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions
present, Taylor versus Serrano.
34
00:02:04,491 --> 00:02:08,061
The epic trilogy concludes… now.
35
00:02:29,983 --> 00:02:33,169
It is fight night in New York City,
Madison Square Garden,
36
00:02:33,203 --> 00:02:37,891
the world's most famous arena
is sold out and buzzing with anticipation
37
00:02:37,924 --> 00:02:40,093
for a historic night of boxing.
38
00:02:40,126 --> 00:02:43,363
Tonight, Netflix, in partnership
with Most Valuable Promotions,
39
00:02:43,396 --> 00:02:46,499
proudly presents first ever
all women's boxing card
40
00:02:46,533 --> 00:02:49,519
in the history of this legendary venue.
41
00:02:49,552 --> 00:02:53,406
Fans from all over the world in more
than 190 countries are watching tonight,
42
00:02:53,439 --> 00:02:56,292
eagerly awaiting a quartet
of what we expect to be
43
00:02:56,326 --> 00:02:58,077
some really great title fights.
44
00:02:58,111 --> 00:03:02,749
The main event is the third chapter
in women's boxing's greatest rivalry.
45
00:03:02,782 --> 00:03:06,035
Undisputed world super
lightweight champion, Katie Taylor
46
00:03:06,069 --> 00:03:09,839
facing the seven division
world champ, Amanda Serrano.
47
00:03:12,842 --> 00:03:15,645
Before that,
another undisputed crown is at stake
48
00:03:15,678 --> 00:03:16,746
in our co-main event.
49
00:03:16,779 --> 00:03:18,982
World super featherweight champ,
Alycia Baumgardner
50
00:03:19,015 --> 00:03:21,301
will put her four titles on the line
51
00:03:21,334 --> 00:03:24,337
against undefeated
rising star, Jennifer Miranda.
52
00:03:24,370 --> 00:03:26,639
Also on the card, a unification bout
53
00:03:26,673 --> 00:03:29,842
featuring IBF super middleweight champion,
Savannah Marshall
54
00:03:29,876 --> 00:03:32,478
taking on WBO belt holder, Shadasia Green.
55
00:03:33,012 --> 00:03:35,999
And in our opener,
another intriguing unification bout.
56
00:03:36,032 --> 00:03:37,734
This one
in the super bantamweight division,
57
00:03:37,767 --> 00:03:40,970
pitting Ellie Scotney
and her IBF and WBO titles
58
00:03:41,004 --> 00:03:44,374
against WBC champ, Yamileth Mercado.
59
00:03:44,407 --> 00:03:47,694
Four title fights, eight fierce women.
60
00:03:47,727 --> 00:03:51,030
It is going to be one remarkable night
here in New York City.
61
00:03:52,899 --> 00:03:55,902
Hey everybody, very warm welcome
inside Madison Square Garden
62
00:03:55,935 --> 00:03:58,037
good to have you with us.
This is hallowed ground
63
00:03:58,071 --> 00:04:01,090
for the sport of boxing,
with more history to be made tonight
64
00:04:01,124 --> 00:04:03,743
at the world's most famous arena.
65
00:04:03,776 --> 00:04:05,862
Happy to be with you
this evening, I'm Kate Scott,
66
00:04:05,895 --> 00:04:08,464
with a pair of undefeated
Hall of Famers tonight.
67
00:04:08,498 --> 00:04:09,849
{\an8}The former super middleweight
68
00:04:09,882 --> 00:04:13,853
{\an8}and light heavyweight title holder
who in 2006 got one of her 24 wins
69
00:04:13,886 --> 00:04:17,457
and 21 knockouts
here at the MSG Arena, Laila Ali,
70
00:04:17,490 --> 00:04:20,927
and the former super middleweight
and light heavyweight champ,
71
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,962
Olympic gold medalist, Andre Ward.
72
00:04:22,996 --> 00:04:25,965
I'm in good company tonight, everybody.
Good to see you both.
73
00:04:25,999 --> 00:04:28,584
{\an8}Let's talk a little bit about
what this night means,
74
00:04:28,618 --> 00:04:31,504
{\an8}because an all-female card, its--
75
00:04:31,537 --> 00:04:35,141
{\an8}We've got title fights
for either undisputed or unified.
76
00:04:35,174 --> 00:04:38,544
{\an8}It's a multi-million dollar payday
for the main event fighters.
77
00:04:38,578 --> 00:04:40,380
{\an8}We're on Netflix, everybody.
78
00:04:40,413 --> 00:04:42,815
{\an8}This will be a dream come true
for your generation.
79
00:04:42,849 --> 00:04:44,951
{\an8}Absolutely a dream come true.
80
00:04:44,984 --> 00:04:46,669
{\an8}I didn't think
I was going to see it this soon.
81
00:04:46,703 --> 00:04:48,638
{\an8}You know I was hoping
I'd see it in my lifetime.
82
00:04:48,671 --> 00:04:50,907
{\an8}I'm so happy for these ladies
to have this opportunity
83
00:04:50,940 --> 00:04:52,508
{\an8}I actually fought here,
like you said
84
00:04:52,542 --> 00:04:54,727
{\an8}fought on a card
that was televised for HBO,
85
00:04:54,761 --> 00:04:56,112
{\an8}but they wouldn't show women's boxing,
86
00:04:56,145 --> 00:04:58,481
{\an8}so they didn't televise my fight.
Yes.
87
00:04:58,514 --> 00:05:01,317
{\an8}-Right.
-So, to have this platform on Netflix,
88
00:05:01,351 --> 00:05:03,469
{\an8}with everyone at home
watching that might not have been,
89
00:05:03,503 --> 00:05:06,055
{\an8}you know able to see them
is amazing for them.
90
00:05:06,089 --> 00:05:07,607
{\an8}And I know they're going to put on
a good show tonight.
91
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:08,741
{\an8}Absolutely.
92
00:05:08,775 --> 00:05:10,843
{\an8}Once upon a time,
not that long ago, Andre,
93
00:05:10,877 --> 00:05:13,863
{\an8}there was a perspective that people
don't want to see women's fights,
94
00:05:13,896 --> 00:05:16,132
which is why certain fights
weren't televised, right?
95
00:05:16,165 --> 00:05:19,402
These two fighters in the main event,
Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano,
96
00:05:19,435 --> 00:05:21,838
have proven twice over
that's not the case.
97
00:05:21,871 --> 00:05:24,974
Yeah, in this sport, when you deal
with the hate and the naysayers,
98
00:05:25,008 --> 00:05:26,776
what you have to do
is keep your head down
99
00:05:26,809 --> 00:05:30,413
and continue to talk real loud
in that ring with your performances,
100
00:05:30,446 --> 00:05:33,116
which is why we're here
tonight with this mega event.
101
00:05:33,149 --> 00:05:34,650
So, I'm proud of these ladies.
102
00:05:35,418 --> 00:05:38,304
They've been bad ladies,
they've been doing their thing.
103
00:05:38,338 --> 00:05:40,323
People are just now starting to recognize
104
00:05:40,356 --> 00:05:43,810
and the career high paydays
is never a bad thing.
105
00:05:43,843 --> 00:05:45,795
Yeah, sounds good, doesn't it?
106
00:05:45,828 --> 00:05:48,648
I guess one of the interesting things
that you hear about Katie Taylor
107
00:05:48,681 --> 00:05:50,917
is that coming up
to be able to get amateur fights,
108
00:05:50,950 --> 00:05:52,251
she had to pretend to be a boy,
109
00:05:52,285 --> 00:05:54,954
{\an8}tuck the ponytail up
into the head guard and all of that.
110
00:05:54,987 --> 00:05:58,257
{\an8}So, I guess what interests me
is I'm sure that you can relate
111
00:05:58,291 --> 00:06:02,261
{\an8}to that lack of acceptance of women
in boxing and in the sport.
112
00:06:02,295 --> 00:06:05,264
{\an8}Performances like these
that we have seen so far this evening
113
00:06:05,298 --> 00:06:07,517
in the prelims and we're now gonna see
on this main card,
114
00:06:07,550 --> 00:06:09,235
that's what changes perspectives.
115
00:06:09,268 --> 00:06:12,188
Absolutely. My own father,
when I told him I wanted to box,
116
00:06:12,221 --> 00:06:15,041
{\an8}told me, don't box. It's not for you.
I don't want to see you do it.
117
00:06:15,074 --> 00:06:16,042
{\an8}It's not for women.
118
00:06:16,075 --> 00:06:17,794
{\an8}And I had to tell
the greatest of all time,
119
00:06:17,827 --> 00:06:19,495
{\an8}I'm going to do it
and I'm going to show you.
120
00:06:19,529 --> 00:06:21,497
{\an8}And then he came to me
right when I was fighting
121
00:06:21,531 --> 00:06:23,082
{\an8}for a world title and said, "I'm proud."
122
00:06:23,116 --> 00:06:25,885
{\an8}"You know, I was wrong.
You can fight. Women can fight."
123
00:06:25,918 --> 00:06:27,670
{\an8}I was able to change his mind.
124
00:06:27,703 --> 00:06:29,539
{\an8}They can change their minds
and others as well.
125
00:06:29,572 --> 00:06:31,074
{\an8}So, this is the platform they need.
126
00:06:31,107 --> 00:06:33,059
{\an8}I love it because boxing
is such a metaphor for life.
127
00:06:33,092 --> 00:06:34,877
{\an8}It's not even that young ladies
have to box,
128
00:06:34,911 --> 00:06:38,481
{\an8}but they see other young ladies
doing what people say they couldn't do.
129
00:06:38,514 --> 00:06:41,484
{\an8}Doing it at the highest level
and proving a lot of people wrong.
130
00:06:41,517 --> 00:06:44,070
{\an8}That's the inspiration
and that's what's in the air tonight.
131
00:06:44,103 --> 00:06:45,905
{\an8}That's right, more of that this evening.
132
00:06:45,938 --> 00:06:48,691
{\an8}Well, we do have you covered inside
and outside the ring
133
00:06:48,724 --> 00:06:49,842
{\an8}with plenty of special guests
134
00:06:49,876 --> 00:06:51,494
{\an8}and surprises
to come for you this evening.
135
00:06:51,527 --> 00:06:53,863
{\an8}Sibley Scoles
is on the floor for us tonight.
136
00:06:53,896 --> 00:06:55,731
{\an8}She's gonna be talking
to all the celebs who come through.
137
00:06:55,765 --> 00:06:58,568
{\an8}There will be plenty of them.
Sibley, what can we expect?
138
00:06:59,419 --> 00:07:03,272
Thank you so much, Kate.
You already know we are here at MSG.
139
00:07:03,306 --> 00:07:05,792
I'm excited.
The seats are getting filled up.
140
00:07:05,825 --> 00:07:10,163
{\an8}It is time for Taylor Serrano,
and that main card is about to kick off.
141
00:07:10,196 --> 00:07:11,714
{\an8}I'm excited to be in New York,
142
00:07:11,747 --> 00:07:14,717
{\an8}and everyone else
is going to be in the ring covering that.
143
00:07:14,750 --> 00:07:18,054
{\an8}I've got you outside of the ring
with all of the interviews
144
00:07:18,087 --> 00:07:21,574
from celebs, other athletes,
and the fans, of course,
145
00:07:21,607 --> 00:07:25,077
talking all things Taylor Serrano,
making history tonight.
146
00:07:25,111 --> 00:07:26,496
But I'm not alone either.
147
00:07:26,529 --> 00:07:29,048
Let's go check in now with Ariel Helwani.
148
00:07:30,233 --> 00:07:34,253
Well, Sibley, as you know, March 8, 1971,
149
00:07:34,287 --> 00:07:36,622
one of the most famous
and important dates
150
00:07:36,656 --> 00:07:40,643
{\an8}in the history of sports.
On that night in this very building,
151
00:07:40,676 --> 00:07:44,514
{\an8}Laila's father, the great Muhammad Ali
and Joe Frazier competed
152
00:07:44,547 --> 00:07:47,767
{\an8}in a battle known forever
as the Fight of the Century.
153
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,471
Now, I would never dare compare
any fight to that one.
154
00:07:51,504 --> 00:07:56,375
But I do think a conversation can be had
for calling this the card of the century.
155
00:07:56,409 --> 00:07:59,829
Why? Seventeen titles on the line tonight,
156
00:07:59,862 --> 00:08:03,166
and according to the good folks
over at the Guinness World Records,
157
00:08:03,799 --> 00:08:08,321
that is a record never before seen
in the history of boxing.
158
00:08:08,354 --> 00:08:10,923
And isn't it crazy? Isn't it amazing?
159
00:08:10,957 --> 00:08:14,827
Isn't it special that on this historic,
record-breaking night,
160
00:08:14,861 --> 00:08:18,548
we're back in the same venue,
the same place that hosted
161
00:08:18,581 --> 00:08:21,784
that famous clash some 54 years ago?
162
00:08:21,817 --> 00:08:25,087
The world's most famous arena,
Madison Square Garden.
163
00:08:26,906 --> 00:08:28,808
Yes, it is.
And it's good to be here, Ariel,
164
00:08:28,841 --> 00:08:32,111
on this historic night for women's boxing.
We want to give some respect as well
165
00:08:32,144 --> 00:08:34,697
to the modern day fighters
who helped blaze the path
166
00:08:34,730 --> 00:08:36,716
that Taylor
and Serrano are walking tonight,
167
00:08:36,749 --> 00:08:40,369
starting with one of our very own,
our colleague this evening, Laila Ali.
168
00:08:40,403 --> 00:08:43,556
{\an8}Yes, fighting from 1999, to 2007,
169
00:08:43,589 --> 00:08:47,977
{\an8}she retired with a record of 24 and 0,
21 knockouts.
170
00:08:48,010 --> 00:08:49,695
{\an8}Laila, okay.
171
00:08:49,729 --> 00:08:51,831
{\an8}Her fight with Jacqui Frazier-Lyde.
172
00:08:52,498 --> 00:08:54,367
{\an8}Her fight with Jacqui Frazier-Lyde
marked the first time
173
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,003
{\an8}that two women
headlined a pay-per-view event.
174
00:08:57,136 --> 00:09:00,489
{\an8}Lucia Rijker fought from 1996 to 2004.
175
00:09:00,523 --> 00:09:03,509
{\an8}She was known as the most dangerous
woman in the world.
176
00:09:03,543 --> 00:09:05,811
{\an8}She finished her career 17 and 0
177
00:09:05,845 --> 00:09:08,180
{\an8}before moving on
to a Hollywood acting career.
178
00:09:08,314 --> 00:09:11,467
{\an8}Anne Wolfe fought from 1998 to 2006.
179
00:09:11,500 --> 00:09:14,987
{\an8}She matched Henry Armstrong's record
of holding three world titles
180
00:09:15,021 --> 00:09:17,657
{\an8}in different weight classes
at the same time.
181
00:09:17,690 --> 00:09:20,309
{\an8}Cecilia Brækhusis still fighting, age 43.
182
00:09:20,343 --> 00:09:23,663
{\an8}She is currently the WBC super
welterweight interim champ,
183
00:09:23,696 --> 00:09:25,631
{\an8}and she was the first woman
in any weight class
184
00:09:25,665 --> 00:09:27,183
{\an8}to be undisputed champion.
185
00:09:27,316 --> 00:09:30,636
{\an8}And finally, we come to the OG,
the original trailblazer,
186
00:09:30,670 --> 00:09:34,890
{\an8}Christy Martin, who fought from 1989
to 2012 with a career record
187
00:09:34,924 --> 00:09:38,194
{\an8}of 49 and seven with 32 knockouts.
188
00:09:38,227 --> 00:09:39,762
Her fight against Deirdre Gogarty,
189
00:09:39,795 --> 00:09:43,232
on the Mike Tyson-Frank Bruno
undercard back in 1996,
190
00:09:43,266 --> 00:09:46,886
credited with putting women's boxing
on the map.
191
00:09:46,919 --> 00:09:49,438
We are going to bring you more
from Madison Square Garden
192
00:09:49,472 --> 00:09:51,223
in just a minute. Stay with us.
193
00:09:57,196 --> 00:09:59,732
Welcome back inside Madison Square Garden.
194
00:09:59,765 --> 00:10:02,668
The main event tonight is Amanda Serrano
and Katie Taylor.
195
00:10:02,702 --> 00:10:04,287
They have fought twice before.
196
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,921
Let's take a look back
at some of those highlights
197
00:10:05,955 --> 00:10:07,690
from those first two fights.
198
00:10:07,723 --> 00:10:09,475
Starting with the first one, 2022
199
00:10:09,508 --> 00:10:12,962
with the first women's boxing match
to headline a card here at MSG.
200
00:10:12,995 --> 00:10:17,066
Taylor and Serrano combined
to throw nearly 1,000 punches
201
00:10:17,099 --> 00:10:19,218
in ten action packed rounds.
202
00:10:19,251 --> 00:10:22,338
Taylor won a narrow victory
by split decision.
203
00:10:22,371 --> 00:10:26,542
The fight widely considered
the 2022 fight of the year.
204
00:10:26,575 --> 00:10:29,879
Then, a couple of years later,
2024, in the fourth round,
205
00:10:29,912 --> 00:10:33,666
a headbutt from Taylor
left a nasty cut over Serrano's right eye.
206
00:10:33,699 --> 00:10:36,235
Taylor was later deducted a point
in the eighth round
207
00:10:36,268 --> 00:10:37,903
for leading with her head.
208
00:10:37,937 --> 00:10:40,656
Despite that deduction
and being outlanded by Serrano,
209
00:10:40,690 --> 00:10:46,545
all three judges awarded
Taylor a razor-thin, 95-94, unanimous win.
210
00:10:47,213 --> 00:10:48,581
Tell you what, let's take a look
211
00:10:48,614 --> 00:10:51,117
at some of the stats
from the first two fights as well
212
00:10:51,150 --> 00:10:56,055
{\an8}'cause these are interesting,
2,262 total punches were thrown,
213
00:10:56,088 --> 00:11:00,376
{\an8}that is an average of a 113 per round
combined in two-minute rounds.
214
00:11:00,409 --> 00:11:02,628
{\an8}Not three-minute rounds,
two-minute rounds, remember.
215
00:11:02,662 --> 00:11:05,865
{\an8}75.5 million people tuned in,
making their rematch
216
00:11:05,898 --> 00:11:09,902
{\an8}the most watched professional
women's sports event in U.S. history.
217
00:11:09,935 --> 00:11:15,307
{\an8}And then if we dial into the second fight,
only Serrano landed 324 punches,
218
00:11:15,341 --> 00:11:19,095
{\an8}which is the most by a female fighter
in CompuBox history.
219
00:11:19,128 --> 00:11:20,629
Let's talk about some of those numbers,
220
00:11:20,663 --> 00:11:24,283
{\an8}because we also saw
that 75% of total punches thrown
221
00:11:24,316 --> 00:11:25,818
{\an8}in that fight were power punches.
222
00:11:25,851 --> 00:11:28,504
{\an8}It is so far above average.
What does that tell us, Laila?
223
00:11:28,537 --> 00:11:32,024
{\an8}That is a lot of punches.
Those legs were very busy, right?
224
00:11:32,058 --> 00:11:34,577
{\an8}And the power punches are anything
other than a jab, right?
225
00:11:34,610 --> 00:11:36,662
{\an8}The right hand,
the left hand, the uppercut.
226
00:11:36,696 --> 00:11:39,181
{\an8}They were throwing a lot of punches.
227
00:11:39,215 --> 00:11:42,418
And I saw a lot of punches landing,
which I don't wanna see this time.
228
00:11:42,451 --> 00:11:44,370
A lot of punches with bad intentions.
229
00:11:44,403 --> 00:11:45,287
Yes.
230
00:11:45,321 --> 00:11:47,690
Both of those wins for Katie Taylor,
by some people,
231
00:11:47,723 --> 00:11:49,108
were considered controversial.
232
00:11:49,141 --> 00:11:50,676
Certainly when we were in Texas,
233
00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:54,296
we heard the boos go up around the arena
when she was given that win.
234
00:11:54,330 --> 00:11:56,265
You would think that Amanda Serrano
had been wronged.
235
00:11:56,298 --> 00:11:58,601
-What was your perspective?
-Well, I don't think she was wronged.
236
00:11:58,634 --> 00:12:01,670
I think both these ladies, as we know,
they fought two classic fights,
237
00:12:01,704 --> 00:12:03,005
hotly contested,
238
00:12:03,038 --> 00:12:06,325
but because Katie Taylor won
the first fight,
239
00:12:06,358 --> 00:12:09,912
many wrongly assume
that Amanda Serrano should get the nod
240
00:12:09,945 --> 00:12:11,447
if it's close in the second fight.
241
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,082
That's not how boxing works.
242
00:12:13,115 --> 00:12:16,051
Each fight,
each round is scored individually,
243
00:12:16,085 --> 00:12:18,487
and Katie Taylor earned those victories.
244
00:12:18,521 --> 00:12:19,972
They could have easily gone the other way,
245
00:12:20,005 --> 00:12:24,510
but tonight, the stage is set
for either lady to have the final say.
246
00:12:24,543 --> 00:12:26,061
Well, let's talk
about how you do that then,
247
00:12:26,095 --> 00:12:28,114
because if you don't want the decision
to be a talking point,
248
00:12:28,147 --> 00:12:29,915
you have to win the rounds more clearly.
249
00:12:29,949 --> 00:12:30,950
How do they do that?
250
00:12:30,983 --> 00:12:34,036
Well, I think that Katie
should use the ring, right?
251
00:12:34,069 --> 00:12:36,038
She needs to get her shots off,
and then she needs to move,
252
00:12:36,071 --> 00:12:39,458
not stand right in front of Amanda,
so that she can, you know, get her points.
253
00:12:39,492 --> 00:12:42,178
And then what Amanda needs to do
is she needs to cut the ring off.
254
00:12:42,211 --> 00:12:45,898
She needs to create some separation
and land her big shots, time them.
255
00:12:45,931 --> 00:12:49,452
You know? And if she gets
Katie hurt again, finish her this time.
256
00:12:49,485 --> 00:12:52,204
And you have to create space
in order to do that.
257
00:12:52,238 --> 00:12:54,857
These ladies have fought
20 hard fought rounds,
258
00:12:54,890 --> 00:12:56,125
and we're no wiser.
259
00:12:56,158 --> 00:12:58,778
We don't know
who the dominant fighter is at this point,
260
00:12:58,811 --> 00:13:01,847
so they have to fight smarter
and not harder.
261
00:13:01,881 --> 00:13:03,332
We know they can do the hard part
262
00:13:03,365 --> 00:13:05,634
but can somebody add
a little bit more intelligence,
263
00:13:05,668 --> 00:13:08,604
a little bit more,
you know, nuance to their game
264
00:13:08,637 --> 00:13:11,740
to create some separation,
so they can put this rivalry to bed.
265
00:13:11,774 --> 00:13:14,009
Yeah, we are excited
for this one tonight, everybody.
266
00:13:14,043 --> 00:13:16,962
We are now just a few minutes away
from a unification bout
267
00:13:16,996 --> 00:13:21,183
in the super bantamweight division,
Ellie Scotney against Yamileth Mercado.
268
00:13:21,217 --> 00:13:23,919
We have got a great night
of fighting ahead everybody.
269
00:13:40,436 --> 00:13:42,788
…stepping into the ring
for the third installment
270
00:13:42,822 --> 00:13:44,690
of their electric rivalry.
271
00:13:44,723 --> 00:13:46,892
We want to welcome
in at this point Sean Grande,
272
00:13:46,926 --> 00:13:48,761
who is gonna be leading our ringside team,
273
00:13:48,794 --> 00:13:50,963
who are calling the action
for you this evening.
274
00:13:50,996 --> 00:13:52,648
Sean, it's already a great night.
275
00:13:53,782 --> 00:13:57,753
{\an8}Kate, it is great to see you any night,
but especially tonight,
276
00:13:57,786 --> 00:14:01,290
{\an8}here at the Garden,
which doubles as a cathedral.
277
00:14:01,323 --> 00:14:04,276
{\an8}A cathedral to stage
this extraordinary night
278
00:14:04,310 --> 00:14:05,678
in women's boxing history.
279
00:14:05,711 --> 00:14:09,615
A cathedral built brick by brick
by all the legends you're talking about,
280
00:14:09,648 --> 00:14:11,784
Christy Martin, Laila sitting next to you,
281
00:14:11,817 --> 00:14:14,453
all the way down
to the modern day warriors
282
00:14:14,486 --> 00:14:15,704
we will see throughout the night.
283
00:14:15,738 --> 00:14:20,242
One of whom we're going to see right now
because Seniesa Estrada who joins me.
284
00:14:20,276 --> 00:14:23,245
You first took this walk in 2011
285
00:14:23,279 --> 00:14:26,348
at a remote casino
in front of a couple of hundred people.
286
00:14:26,382 --> 00:14:29,885
Did you ever,
in your wildest dreams on that night,
287
00:14:29,919 --> 00:14:31,971
think this night could happen.
288
00:14:32,004 --> 00:14:33,255
{\an8}You know what, Sean?
289
00:14:33,289 --> 00:14:36,342
{\an8}As crazy as it sounds,
I've always believed,
290
00:14:36,375 --> 00:14:40,162
{\an8}I did believe,
we all had to believe as women
291
00:14:40,195 --> 00:14:42,665
{\an8}in order to break down those barriers
in the sport.
292
00:14:42,698 --> 00:14:46,051
And tonight is just a testament
of our resilience,
293
00:14:46,085 --> 00:14:48,554
our determination
to elevate women's boxing.
294
00:14:48,587 --> 00:14:54,093
And I'm just so ecstatic and so happy
to be here tonight to witness greatness.
295
00:14:54,126 --> 00:14:58,097
Great moments in sports
are often defined by epic rivalries.
296
00:14:58,130 --> 00:15:01,834
There's been a lot of talk, as you know,
of Ali-Frazier and Gatti-Ward.
297
00:15:01,867 --> 00:15:03,369
You're hearing it constantly.
298
00:15:03,402 --> 00:15:06,555
But that's also a reminder
of the price there is to pay,
299
00:15:06,589 --> 00:15:11,176
not only physically,
but also in terms of legacy and history.
300
00:15:11,210 --> 00:15:12,828
Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano
301
00:15:12,861 --> 00:15:16,532
will be in every greatest
of all time conversation there is.
302
00:15:16,565 --> 00:15:19,585
But we all know that the start
of that conversation will be
303
00:15:19,618 --> 00:15:21,537
from what we're about to see tonight.
304
00:15:21,570 --> 00:15:25,674
Definitely, tonight we are about
to witness greatness from both ladies.
305
00:15:25,708 --> 00:15:27,876
And trilogies are for greatness.
306
00:15:27,910 --> 00:15:32,197
And Amanda Serrano does not wanna go
a win three against Katie Taylor.
307
00:15:32,231 --> 00:15:34,600
She wants to walk
out of the ring a winner tonight.
308
00:15:34,633 --> 00:15:37,019
She must walk out of the ring
a winner tonight.
309
00:15:37,052 --> 00:15:39,188
And if she does,
maybe we'll see a fourth fight,
310
00:15:39,221 --> 00:15:41,974
because I definitely do not mind that.
311
00:15:42,007 --> 00:15:45,294
If these walls at the Garden could talk,
they would tell a heck of a story.
312
00:15:45,327 --> 00:15:47,129
Another chapter gonna be added tonight.
313
00:15:47,162 --> 00:15:50,950
Big fights, big night.
It can only begin with Big Mo.
314
00:15:53,802 --> 00:15:57,239
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
315
00:15:57,272 --> 00:16:02,845
And welcome to all of you
tuning in around the world on Netflix.
316
00:16:02,878 --> 00:16:08,417
And welcome to the world's most
famous arena, the Mecca of boxing,
317
00:16:08,450 --> 00:16:11,587
Madison Square Garden!
318
00:16:14,039 --> 00:16:17,826
Tonight is an all-women's card,
319
00:16:17,860 --> 00:16:22,131
headlined by the greatest trilogy
in women's boxing,
320
00:16:22,164 --> 00:16:27,736
the greatest rivalry,
Katie Taylor versus Amanda Serrano!
321
00:16:30,923 --> 00:16:35,794
And tonight, ladies and gentlemen,
we will break a Guinness World Record.
322
00:16:35,828 --> 00:16:42,317
Seventeen world titles
will be on the line this evening!
323
00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:47,956
To get us ready for this monumental event,
324
00:16:47,990 --> 00:16:51,727
and to perform the national anthem
of the United States of America,
325
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,531
I would like to welcome
The New York Times'best-selling author
326
00:16:55,564 --> 00:17:01,970
and award-winning singer,
songwriter, and actress, here is JoJo.
327
00:17:13,015 --> 00:17:18,520
{\an8}O say can you see
328
00:17:18,554 --> 00:17:23,792
{\an8}By the dawn’s early light
329
00:17:23,826 --> 00:17:28,580
What so proudly we hail’d
330
00:17:29,098 --> 00:17:34,770
At the twilight’s last gleaming
331
00:17:34,803 --> 00:17:40,042
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
332
00:17:40,075 --> 00:17:46,281
Through the perilous fight
333
00:17:46,315 --> 00:17:51,837
O'er the ramparts we watched
334
00:17:51,870 --> 00:17:57,843
Were so gallantly streaming
335
00:17:57,876 --> 00:18:03,849
And the rocket's red glare
336
00:18:03,882 --> 00:18:09,788
The bombs bursting in air
337
00:18:09,822 --> 00:18:15,260
Gave proof through the night
338
00:18:15,294 --> 00:18:21,467
That our flag was still there
339
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:28,490
Oh, say does that star-spangled
340
00:18:28,574 --> 00:18:35,564
Banner yet wave
341
00:18:39,351 --> 00:18:46,241
O'er land of the free
342
00:18:50,679 --> 00:18:54,266
And the home
343
00:18:54,299 --> 00:19:01,140
Of the brave
344
00:19:16,905 --> 00:19:20,175
{\an8}So many magical nights
in the history of this building.
345
00:19:20,209 --> 00:19:23,795
{\an8}You can feel it already.
This is going to be the latest.
346
00:19:23,829 --> 00:19:29,852
{\an8}And we begin with two of the rising stars,
have come through very different paths
347
00:19:29,885 --> 00:19:31,670
{\an8}to Madison Square Garden tonight.
348
00:19:34,139 --> 00:19:37,192
{\an8}For the rules,
we check in with our rules guru,
349
00:19:37,226 --> 00:19:40,479
{\an8}our rules sherpa,
our rules sensei, Sean Wheelock.
350
00:19:40,546 --> 00:19:41,797
Thank you, Sean.
351
00:19:41,830 --> 00:19:44,867
We are under the unified rules of boxing
as being administered this evening
352
00:19:44,900 --> 00:19:46,952
by the New York State Athletic Commission.
353
00:19:46,985 --> 00:19:49,821
The female pro boxing standard
two-minute rounds are in use.
354
00:19:49,855 --> 00:19:51,406
There is no three-knockdown rule.
355
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,026
A fighter cannot be saved
by the bell in any round.
356
00:19:54,059 --> 00:19:56,195
If an accidental foul ends the fight,
357
00:19:56,228 --> 00:19:59,314
four rounds must be completed
to consider it official.
358
00:20:04,253 --> 00:20:08,624
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
to begin this monumental evening,
359
00:20:08,657 --> 00:20:10,609
this all-women's card,
360
00:20:10,642 --> 00:20:15,981
live from New York City
and live around the world on Netflix,
361
00:20:16,014 --> 00:20:18,667
we begin with ten two-minute rounds
362
00:20:18,700 --> 00:20:23,772
for the unified WBO, WBC, IBF,
363
00:20:23,805 --> 00:20:28,510
andRing Magazine
super bantamweight championships
364
00:20:28,543 --> 00:20:30,229
of the world.
365
00:20:30,262 --> 00:20:34,082
Introducing first,
fighting out of the red corner,
366
00:20:34,116 --> 00:20:40,772
making her way to the ring,
please welcome Yamileth Mercado!
367
00:20:44,042 --> 00:20:48,780
{\an8}She is one of the longest
reigning champions in all of boxing.
368
00:20:48,814 --> 00:20:52,134
{\an8}You may not know her name,
you're about to learn it.
369
00:20:56,738 --> 00:21:00,242
It is a centuries-old tradition
in Latin American cultures
370
00:21:00,275 --> 00:21:03,612
to celebrate when a girl turns 15,
the Quinceañera.
371
00:21:04,162 --> 00:21:09,234
Yamileth Mercado, though,
was more interested in her 16th birthday.
372
00:21:09,268 --> 00:21:12,204
See, she had just learned
that she wouldn't be allowed to qualify
373
00:21:12,237 --> 00:21:15,223
for the Mexican Olympic team
until she turned 21.
374
00:21:15,257 --> 00:21:19,494
So, her target became 16
because that is when she could turn pro.
375
00:21:19,528 --> 00:21:22,714
She didn't get to become
an Olympian at 21. Guess what?
376
00:21:22,748 --> 00:21:24,766
She was already a world champion
by that age.
377
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:30,305
Now a six-year run, eight title defenses,
and the 122-pound champ of the WBC.
378
00:21:30,339 --> 00:21:32,641
One of boxing's
longest-reigning title holders.
379
00:21:32,674 --> 00:21:36,311
Guys, a win tonight on this stage,
that would trigger a celebration
380
00:21:36,345 --> 00:21:38,180
that would blow a Quinceañera away.
381
00:21:38,997 --> 00:21:42,067
Oh, she would much rather have
this win tonight
382
00:21:42,100 --> 00:21:43,952
than a Quinceañera, that's for sure.
383
00:22:03,972 --> 00:22:07,642
It's quite possible
you haven't seen Ellie Scotney yet.
384
00:22:07,676 --> 00:22:10,178
This is the name you will know
by night's end.
385
00:22:10,212 --> 00:22:12,581
Her rise to this has been meteoric.
386
00:22:12,614 --> 00:22:13,899
It sure has, and, uh,
387
00:22:13,965 --> 00:22:16,601
you know, she's a tough fighter,
throws lots of punches.
388
00:22:16,668 --> 00:22:19,254
She can fight on the inside, and tonight,
389
00:22:19,287 --> 00:22:22,290
um, I think this is gonna be
such a tremendous matchup
390
00:22:22,324 --> 00:22:24,626
because Mercado
has been in the ring before
391
00:22:24,659 --> 00:22:28,814
with fighters such as Amanda Serrano,
and she's, uh, she's in there to win.
392
00:22:28,847 --> 00:22:32,501
She's gonna fight back, and she looks
in tremendous shape tonight as well.
393
00:22:38,724 --> 00:22:40,826
And now her opponent,
394
00:22:41,676 --> 00:22:45,597
fighting out of the blue corner,
making her way to the ring,
395
00:22:45,630 --> 00:22:49,985
please welcome, Ellie Scotney!
396
00:22:52,904 --> 00:22:54,272
It doesn't seem possible.
397
00:22:54,306 --> 00:22:58,777
You can pack so much talent
and personality into 122 pounds.
398
00:22:58,810 --> 00:23:01,313
Ellie Scotney's rise.
Ten wins in ten fights.
399
00:23:01,346 --> 00:23:02,531
That has been meteoric.
400
00:23:02,564 --> 00:23:04,833
As a pro,
she's actually only had one setback.
401
00:23:05,484 --> 00:23:08,804
A few years ago on a relaxing off day
in her home garden
402
00:23:08,837 --> 00:23:12,207
became a viral homage
to the Simpsons when she--
403
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,777
Yep, stepped on a rake
and it smashed her in the face.
404
00:23:16,344 --> 00:23:17,963
Her Sideshow Bob moment was,
405
00:23:17,996 --> 00:23:21,183
she said, "The first time
I ever had to take a knee."
406
00:23:21,216 --> 00:23:24,286
Tonight though she steps into
a very different garden
407
00:23:24,319 --> 00:23:27,906
and she goes from sideshow
to opening the show.
408
00:23:27,939 --> 00:23:31,960
Seniesa, Andre, this feels
very much like watching a superstar
409
00:23:31,993 --> 00:23:35,347
in the making, feels very much
like the final moments
410
00:23:35,380 --> 00:23:38,049
before Ellie Scotney
goes from that humble household
411
00:23:38,083 --> 00:23:41,620
in the London suburb of Catford,
to being a household name.
412
00:23:52,898 --> 00:23:55,617
A household name is what she is going for,
413
00:23:55,650 --> 00:23:57,586
and with a record of ten and 0.
414
00:24:00,071 --> 00:24:01,456
And if she does it tonight,
415
00:24:01,490 --> 00:24:03,875
it's gonna be with her going through
the front door.
416
00:24:03,909 --> 00:24:06,244
That's how she fights.
That's what she's about.
417
00:24:06,278 --> 00:24:08,847
She doesn't check the side door,
the back window, back door.
418
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,384
She's going through the front door
if it's going to get done tonight.
419
00:24:13,535 --> 00:24:15,670
It is a night we will remember,
420
00:24:15,704 --> 00:24:18,890
and it begins as big
as possible, with Big Mo.
421
00:24:22,244 --> 00:24:25,530
{\an8}And now, ladies and gentlemen,
we begin our main card
422
00:24:25,564 --> 00:24:27,732

wearing the all blue trunks,
she stands five feet four inches tall,
449
00:26:16,541 --> 00:26:21,713
she weighed in at 121.6 pounds,
tonight she enters the ring
450
00:26:21,746 --> 00:26:25,383
with a perfect
undefeated professional record
451
00:26:25,417 --> 00:26:31,556
of ten victories opposite no defeats

452
00:26:31,590 --> 00:26:36,261
out of Catford, London, England.
453

Introducing the current reigning

454
00:26:43,218 --> 00:26:48,540
andRing Magazine
super bantamweight champion of the world.
455
00:26:48,573 --> 00:26:50,258
Ladies and gentlemen,
456
00:26:50,292 --> 00:26:57,215
Ellie Scotney!
457
00:27:09,477 --> 00:27:12,330
All right,
this is good here for both of you guys.
458
00:27:12,364 --> 00:27:15,567
This is good, okay?
You already received your instructions.
459
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,353
Obey my commands.
Protect yourself all the time.
460
00:27:18,386 --> 00:27:19,287
Good luck, ladies.
461
00:27:23,475 --> 00:27:25,443
You can prepare yourself for a fight.
462
00:27:26,294 --> 00:27:28,947
But it's hard to prepare yourself
for a moment like this
463
00:27:28,980 --> 00:27:30,715
on a stage like this,
464
00:27:30,749 --> 00:27:33,785
because, guys, for most of these fighters,
there's never been one.
465
00:27:33,818 --> 00:27:36,371
Yeah, the stage hasn't been
this big for these women,
466
00:27:36,438 --> 00:27:37,605
but they've been actually preparing
467
00:27:37,639 --> 00:27:39,290
for this moment their whole lives.
468
00:27:39,324 --> 00:27:42,944
{\an8}Every up, down,
everything that they faced in the ring
469
00:27:42,977 --> 00:27:45,880
{\an8}and out of the ring,
prepared them for this moment tonight.
470
00:27:47,982 --> 00:27:50,869
{\an8}Precision of Scotney,
the pressure of Mercado.
471
00:27:50,902 --> 00:27:54,005
{\an8}That will be the story here.
472
00:27:59,511 --> 00:28:01,429
{\an8}One of the few losses for Yamileth Mercado
473
00:28:01,463 --> 00:28:03,064
{\an8}is when she stepped up and fought…
474
00:28:03,098 --> 00:28:06,051
{\an8}Yep, Amanda Serrano,
who went the distance with her.
475
00:28:08,770 --> 00:28:10,972
{\an8}And she showed
tremendous heart in that fight,
476
00:28:11,005 --> 00:28:14,709
{\an8}continuing to take big shots
from Amanda and still coming forward.
477
00:28:16,444 --> 00:28:19,798
{\an8}She put for a big left there,
and Scotney, you're gonna see, so quick.
478
00:28:19,831 --> 00:28:24,202
{\an8}She was too quick at 118.
How quick is she gonna be at 122?
479
00:28:26,504 --> 00:28:29,140
{\an8}Like I said earlier, Scotney,
she's going through the front door.
480
00:28:29,174 --> 00:28:33,278
{\an8}She wants to press, press,
and slowly but surely impose her will,
481
00:28:33,311 --> 00:28:35,113
{\an8}but Mercado
likes to come forward as well,
482
00:28:35,146 --> 00:28:38,149
{\an8}so it's gonna be interesting
to see who wins that battle.
483
00:28:42,787 --> 00:28:44,539
{\an8}Who's gonna give up ground?
484
00:28:47,809 --> 00:28:50,178
{\an8}Let her go! Let her go! Break!
485
00:28:52,163 --> 00:28:54,482
{\an8}Well, Mercado has fought Serrano,
486
00:28:54,516 --> 00:28:56,668
{\an8}she, uh, was working well off the ropes,
487
00:28:56,701 --> 00:29:01,122
{\an8}which kind of helped her stay in the fight
and survive in the fight.
488
00:29:01,156 --> 00:29:04,259
{\an8}Good shot from Scotney
and that sort of woke Mercado up.
489
00:29:06,761 --> 00:29:08,630
{\an8}This is the distance Scotney wants.
490
00:29:08,663 --> 00:29:11,266
{\an8}Yes, and I like that power jab
that she's throwing right now.
491
00:29:11,299 --> 00:29:15,470
{\an8}Not a lot, just one here and there,
and it's getting the attention of Mercado.
492
00:29:20,291 --> 00:29:22,744
{\an8}Two of the rising young stars
in the sport.
493
00:29:24,012 --> 00:29:25,613
{\an8}Sneaky little overhand right
494
00:29:25,647 --> 00:29:27,799
{\an8}-that's gotten just barely missed…
-Let her go. Let her go. Stop! Stop! Stop.
495
00:29:27,832 --> 00:29:29,167
{\an8}…maybe grazed Mercado.
496
00:29:34,656 --> 00:29:37,592
The Queen of Catford
has come to New York City
497
00:29:37,625 --> 00:29:38,827
to put on a show.
498
00:29:39,394 --> 00:29:40,612
Time!
499
00:29:52,207 --> 00:29:55,343
Stay relaxed. Now, stay relaxed.
500
00:29:56,227 --> 00:30:00,331
See that right hook over the top?
It's going to be there all night. Okay?
501
00:30:00,365 --> 00:30:02,734
Just got to…
just got to faint her up and down.
502
00:30:02,767 --> 00:30:04,819
Faint her up and down.
Let her get brave and come in with it.
503
00:30:04,853 --> 00:30:07,605
You just stop over the top
and keep rolling out.
504
00:30:08,356 --> 00:30:10,258
Don't reach on your jab.
Keep pulling that.
505
00:30:10,291 --> 00:30:12,026
Just pull that jab just to bring you in.
506
00:30:12,060 --> 00:30:15,079
Pull, pull, pull.
Drive it in downstairs to the body. Okay?
507
00:30:15,797 --> 00:30:18,967
This is exactly like this.
We'll start turning that screw. Okay?
508
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:19,984
Do your pinkies round.
509
00:30:20,018 --> 00:30:22,053
And here we see Scotney miss
with that overhand right,
510
00:30:22,086 --> 00:30:25,990
but connect with that left hook.
511
00:30:31,329 --> 00:30:34,182
Talked about Mercado
being in there with Amanda Serrano
512
00:30:34,215 --> 00:30:36,167
and in with great power punchers.
513
00:30:36,201 --> 00:30:38,920
She has not been in with someone
with the speed of Ellie Scotney,
514
00:30:38,953 --> 00:30:40,205
but very few people…
515
00:30:40,238 --> 00:30:41,756
…have the speed of Ellie Scotney.
516
00:30:51,366 --> 00:30:53,318
{\an8}Let her head go, come on.
517
00:30:53,351 --> 00:30:54,886
{\an8}I think it's clear very early on for me
518
00:30:54,919 --> 00:30:56,754
{\an8}that Scotney has the heavier hands
519
00:30:56,788 --> 00:31:01,159
{\an8}and Mercado can't make
very many mistakes,
520
00:31:01,192 --> 00:31:03,845
{\an8}because if that overhand right followed
by left lands,
521
00:31:03,878 --> 00:31:05,747
{\an8}she could have
a lot of trouble on her hands.
522
00:31:05,780 --> 00:31:08,049
{\an8}Andre, talk to me about the pressure
523
00:31:08,082 --> 00:31:09,851
{\an8}that comes with the stage
524
00:31:09,884 --> 00:31:13,755
{\an8}and the external idea
of wanting to put on a show here
525
00:31:13,788 --> 00:31:16,941
{\an8}with all of these eyes on you.
Can that take you off what you wanna do?
526
00:31:16,975 --> 00:31:18,109
{\an8}It can, but I think that, again,
527
00:31:18,142 --> 00:31:20,345
{\an8}these young ladies
have been fighting at a high level
528
00:31:20,378 --> 00:31:23,281
{\an8}for a very long time,
and they've conditioned themselves
529
00:31:23,314 --> 00:31:24,866
{\an8}to be able
to shoulder something like this.
530
00:31:24,899 --> 00:31:26,434
{\an8}So, yes, the pressure is higher,
531
00:31:26,467 --> 00:31:29,153
{\an8}but the good ones and the great ones,
they rise to the occasion,
532
00:31:29,187 --> 00:31:30,572
{\an8}and thus far they've done that.
533
00:31:30,605 --> 00:31:33,708
{\an8}That's pressure from Mercado,
driving Scotney backwards.
534
00:31:37,946 --> 00:31:39,314
{\an8}Some fighters thrive on these moments.
535
00:31:39,347 --> 00:31:41,699
{\an8}It actually excites them in a good way,
536
00:31:41,733 --> 00:31:45,153
{\an8}and they fight better than they would
if they were on a smaller stage.
537
00:31:45,186 --> 00:31:47,238
{\an8}And you almost don't know that
until they get on the stage.
538
00:31:47,272 --> 00:31:49,223
{\an8}You won't know
until they get on the stage.
539
00:31:49,257 --> 00:31:50,441
{\an8}Right. It seems like all the ladies
540
00:31:50,475 --> 00:31:53,728
{\an8}so far tonight have shown
that they belong here.
541
00:31:53,761 --> 00:31:56,965
{\an8}They wanna be here. They wanna put on
a show for everyone watching.
542
00:31:56,998 --> 00:31:58,600
{\an8}But if you wanted the ball at winning time
543
00:31:58,633 --> 00:32:01,035
{\an8}when you were six years old,
you want the ball at winning time.
544
00:32:01,069 --> 00:32:03,087
{\an8}-It's still the same.
-No doubt.
545
00:32:03,121 --> 00:32:06,174
{\an8}And that left hook
landed there by Scotney.
546
00:32:12,931 --> 00:32:14,382
{\an8}She's finding a home for that left hook.
547
00:32:14,415 --> 00:32:18,019
{\an8}She just has to continue to set it up
by throwing that right hand first.
548
00:32:19,337 --> 00:32:22,440
{\an8}Family so important to her
and they made the trip.
549
00:32:22,473 --> 00:32:24,258
{\an8}She's trying to soak it all in.
550
00:32:24,292 --> 00:32:27,562
{\an8}She's just-- You watched her on the stage
in the press conferences.
551
00:32:27,595 --> 00:32:31,733
{\an8}You watched her at the workouts
and she's just trying to take all this in.
552
00:32:32,433 --> 00:32:35,853
She has been wide-eyed all week
until it was time for business.
553
00:32:38,556 --> 00:32:39,507
She has looked…
554
00:32:39,540 --> 00:32:40,692
Time!
555
00:32:49,834 --> 00:32:53,371
Mercado, relax, control yourself.
556
00:32:53,404 --> 00:32:54,605
Uppercuts.
557
00:32:55,306 --> 00:32:58,910
You open up with that with that loop shot
and then get that hook in.
558
00:33:00,662 --> 00:33:04,182
Follow our plan now.
Have some water there.
559
00:33:05,283 --> 00:33:07,602
You gotta lift her up.
560
00:33:07,635 --> 00:33:12,006
When she goes down, when she crouches,
when she goes, bring her up.
561
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,826
And also, once you clinch, let go.
562
00:33:17,528 --> 00:33:20,682
When you're clinching,
upper hooks. Guard, cover.
563
00:33:23,017 --> 00:33:25,520
Keep an eye on this punch
right here from Ellie Scotney.
564
00:33:25,553 --> 00:33:30,058
This overhand right, she's landed it flush
like that several times, and thus far,
565
00:33:30,091 --> 00:33:32,377
Mercado has not been able to defend
against it.
566
00:33:32,410 --> 00:33:34,879
The same punch
that lands like that early that you take,
567
00:33:34,912 --> 00:33:37,081
that can put you out later in the fight.
568
00:33:38,716 --> 00:33:40,468
Speed kills.
569
00:33:48,359 --> 00:33:51,279
{\an8}Seniesa, did you agree
with that in the corner about Mercado?
570
00:33:51,312 --> 00:33:54,415
{\an8}"Don't hold on to get some distance back."
571
00:33:54,449 --> 00:33:58,319
{\an8}Well, you know, I believe
Mercado does need to keep her distance,
572
00:33:58,352 --> 00:34:02,206
{\an8}but her corner is also telling her
on the inside to throw uppercuts,
573
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:03,324
{\an8}which might be dangerous for her
574
00:34:03,357 --> 00:34:06,728
{\an8}because Scotney could come
with that short left hook up top
575
00:34:06,761 --> 00:34:08,479
{\an8}while Mercado is throwing an uppercut.
576
00:34:10,815 --> 00:34:13,701
{\an8}Now, she has to figure out
the puzzle on the fly.
577
00:34:14,368 --> 00:34:16,988
{\an8}I think right now
before this fight gets out of hand,
578
00:34:17,021 --> 00:34:20,108
{\an8}Mercado has to believe in herself.
She's defending world champion.
579
00:34:20,141 --> 00:34:22,009
{\an8}She knows how to fight, right now,
580
00:34:22,043 --> 00:34:23,995
{\an8}she seems to be a deer
in the headlights with Scotney.
581
00:34:24,028 --> 00:34:26,748
{\an8}Like I don't know if it's the strength
or the punching power,
582
00:34:26,781 --> 00:34:28,433
{\an8}but she's not trusting her offense.
583
00:34:28,466 --> 00:34:30,151
{\an8}She has to trust it right now.
584
00:34:36,257 --> 00:34:39,911
{\an8}That's exactly what Mercado's
flaw is they want her to let go
585
00:34:39,944 --> 00:34:41,512
{\an8}on the inside as Andre just mentioned
586
00:34:41,546 --> 00:34:44,182
{\an8}to work with body
and also throw up for cuts.
587
00:34:44,715 --> 00:34:48,936
{\an8}She threw the uppercut there.
Trying to step away.
588
00:34:48,970 --> 00:34:52,457
{\an8}She got to watch
following Scotney like that
589
00:34:52,490 --> 00:34:56,110
{\an8}because Scotney's drawing her
into a trap to throw that overhand right.
590
00:34:56,144 --> 00:34:58,429
{\an8}She just missed it.
She just did it again right there.
591
00:34:59,831 --> 00:35:03,267
{\an8}That's the shot that Mercado
has not been able to defend against yet.
592
00:35:03,301 --> 00:35:04,519
{\an8}She's gotta watch that.
593
00:35:05,887 --> 00:35:07,905
{\an8}Which is why
an uppercut is dangerous for that,
594
00:35:07,939 --> 00:35:08,923
{\an8}especially from the outside.
595
00:35:08,956 --> 00:35:11,125
{\an8}You don't want to throw it
at the wrong time.
596
00:35:11,159 --> 00:35:14,212
{\an8}You really have to time it
if you're going to throw uppercuts.
597
00:35:14,829 --> 00:35:16,414
{\an8}Another overhand right.
598
00:35:22,153 --> 00:35:24,672
{\an8}Mercado has her chin way up in the air,
599
00:35:24,705 --> 00:35:27,909
{\an8}exposed, and she's coming straight to it.
There it is again.
600
00:35:34,949 --> 00:35:37,952
What a show for Ellie Scotney
through three rounds.
601
00:35:45,693 --> 00:35:49,113
Just the start of a special,
special night here on Netflix,
602
00:35:49,147 --> 00:35:52,099
heading for Serrano and Taylor
in the main event.
603
00:35:52,133 --> 00:35:54,919
{\an8}Everyone has had July 11th circled
for a long time,
604
00:35:54,952 --> 00:35:58,739
{\an8}but duo boxing's most dominant
forces face off this fall.
605
00:35:58,773 --> 00:36:02,076
{\an8}The undisputed, super middleweight
champion Canelo Álvarez
606
00:36:02,109 --> 00:36:06,030
{\an8}and will finally face undefeated
four division superstar Terence Crawford
607
00:36:06,063 --> 00:36:08,482
{\an8}for the unified
super middleweight championship
608
00:36:08,516 --> 00:36:10,885
in Las Vegas,
it's a once-in-a-lifetime fight
609
00:36:10,918 --> 00:36:14,622
that's a legacy cementing fight,
Canelo and Crawford, September 13th
610
00:36:14,655 --> 00:36:19,177
streaming live globally on Netflix
and tickets for that fight will go on sale
611
00:36:19,210 --> 00:36:24,498
next Friday the 18th July
at ticketmaster.com
612
00:36:24,532 --> 00:36:27,301
It's brilliant, okay?
Stay within yourself.
613
00:36:27,335 --> 00:36:29,303
Hey, this girl's getting
more and more desperate.
614
00:36:29,337 --> 00:36:30,504
Yeah, that's right.
615
00:36:30,538 --> 00:36:33,424
We need a little bit of a slip
left into the body.
616
00:36:38,980 --> 00:36:40,298
{\an8}Saw Shane McGuigan…
617
00:36:40,331 --> 00:36:44,518
{\an8}…in the corner. Longtime boxing fans know
the history of the McGuigan family.
618
00:36:50,141 --> 00:36:52,126
{\an8}I wanna see Mercado commit to her punches.
619
00:36:52,159 --> 00:36:55,496
{\an8}You see what she just did right there?
It's like she's just shadow boxing.
620
00:36:55,529 --> 00:36:59,166
{\an8}She's throwing kinda pity pat punches
because she's looking for some answers.
621
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,203
{\an8}I think she finds the answers
by committing to the offense
622
00:37:02,236 --> 00:37:04,405
{\an8}and things will start
to open up from there.
623
00:37:05,156 --> 00:37:07,291
{\an8}Sean Wheelock unofficial scorecard.
624
00:37:08,009 --> 00:37:10,061
{\an8}I got a feeling
those are the official ones matching
625
00:37:10,094 --> 00:37:11,846
{\an8}when you look at numbers like this.
626
00:37:21,322 --> 00:37:23,441
{\an8}Scotney is out of any danger
627
00:37:23,474 --> 00:37:25,960
{\an8}in any range
before Mercado could even load up.
628
00:37:25,993 --> 00:37:28,112
{\an8}Scotney's punches are going
to be shorter and sharper
629
00:37:28,145 --> 00:37:30,331
{\an8}and beating Mercado right to the punch.
630
00:37:42,293 --> 00:37:44,345
{\an8}The body shots right there from Scotney.
631
00:37:44,378 --> 00:37:47,415
{\an8}Don't punch. Don't punch.
Don't punch. Step back. Step back.
632
00:37:47,448 --> 00:37:49,016
{\an8}Come on. Hold on just a little bit longer.
633
00:37:49,050 --> 00:37:51,669
{\an8}Like, let me get a breather.
Let me get a breather.
634
00:37:51,702 --> 00:37:52,887
{\an8}And that's something I'd like to see
635
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:54,805
{\an8}more from Scotney, work the body.
636
00:37:56,807 --> 00:37:59,961
{\an8}I want to say these two
were destined to fight one day.
637
00:37:59,994 --> 00:38:02,113
{\an8}And they almost fought
for Scotney's second fight,
638
00:38:02,146 --> 00:38:06,367
{\an8}but I don't know where you were
on March 16th, 1998,
639
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,936
{\an8}but both of these women
were born that day.
640
00:38:10,304 --> 00:38:12,206
{\an8}-Identical birthdays…
-Wow.
641
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,876
{\an8}…but not an identical start
or identical approach to this fight.
642
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,163
{\an8}Good body shot right there from Scotney.
643
00:38:19,196 --> 00:38:21,832
{\an8}I think what she wants to do
is shoot that body shot,
644
00:38:21,866 --> 00:38:23,384
{\an8}get her, get Mercado used to that,
645
00:38:23,417 --> 00:38:26,070
{\an8}and then go up top right there
like she just did.
646
00:38:26,754 --> 00:38:28,506
{\an8}Take you away from what I want to do,
647
00:38:28,539 --> 00:38:32,143
{\an8}and then when you go to sleep,
I wake you back up with the punch.
648
00:38:33,978 --> 00:38:36,497
And here I love those step backs
and rolling to the right
649
00:38:36,530 --> 00:38:39,533
while she leaves Mercado pedaling
and missing punches.
650
00:38:39,567 --> 00:38:41,102
You see a cut to the side
651
00:38:41,135 --> 00:38:43,888
of the eye of Ellie Scotney.
652
00:38:53,931 --> 00:38:55,966
Keep with the plan.
Keep with the plan. Jab.
653
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,202
Don't start with the hook.
654
00:38:58,235 --> 00:39:02,540
But we need more volume now, okay?
Short shot. Upper hook guard,
655
00:39:02,573 --> 00:39:05,393
hook, follow it up. One, two. One, two…
656
00:39:05,426 --> 00:39:07,028
One, two, and then attack the body…
657
00:39:08,729 --> 00:39:10,414
…come on,
don't start with those looping shots.
658
00:39:10,448 --> 00:39:13,567
No looping shots…
659
00:39:13,601 --> 00:39:15,503
…you got to close those rounds.
You've got to close--
660
00:39:15,536 --> 00:39:18,789
What round is this? This is the fifth.
This is the fifth.
661
00:39:19,557 --> 00:39:21,742
{\an8}Three. Come on.
662
00:39:22,543 --> 00:39:25,496
{\an8}You've got to close those rounds.
He's doing it very softly.
663
00:39:25,529 --> 00:39:28,416
{\an8}You got to close those rounds.
And be careful with that defense as well.
664
00:39:28,449 --> 00:39:29,800
Cover up.
665
00:39:29,834 --> 00:39:32,069
Let's go.
666
00:39:32,103 --> 00:39:33,671
We got to do it. Pressure.
667
00:39:35,272 --> 00:39:37,441
Dre, you ever have a moment
in the corner where you thought,
668
00:39:37,475 --> 00:39:39,910
"Yeah, I'm trying. I'm trying."
669
00:39:39,944 --> 00:39:41,979
Yes, often, often.
670
00:39:42,012 --> 00:39:43,497
{\an8}-But that's what--
-Easy for you to say.
671
00:39:43,531 --> 00:39:44,915
{\an8}It's easy for you to say.
672
00:39:44,949 --> 00:39:46,517
{\an8}But that's when
the coach earns their money.
673
00:39:46,550 --> 00:39:48,836
{\an8}They got to keep imploring
and they got to have a healthy balance
674
00:39:48,869 --> 00:39:51,355
{\an8}between giving you
X's and O's and inspiration.
675
00:39:51,389 --> 00:39:54,308
{\an8}And I think Mercado needs
a little bit of both right now.
676
00:39:54,341 --> 00:39:55,776
{\an8}We talked about that the other day.
677
00:39:55,810 --> 00:39:58,279
{\an8}And since you said it,
it has been living in my head rent free
678
00:39:58,312 --> 00:40:01,882
{\an8}that idea of how you coach
in between a round
679
00:40:01,916 --> 00:40:04,985
{\an8}-with those seconds that are so valuable.
-Yes. And you gotta know when
680
00:40:05,019 --> 00:40:06,821
{\an8}and great coaches
have an instinct for that.
681
00:40:06,854 --> 00:40:09,390
{\an8}Sometimes it's not about X's and O's.
Go out there and do it.
682
00:40:09,423 --> 00:40:10,324
{\an8}Believe in yourself.
683
00:40:10,357 --> 00:40:14,495
{\an8}And then other times you got to tell them
what to do and how to do it.
684
00:40:14,528 --> 00:40:16,781
{\an8}Don't punch. Don't punch.
685
00:40:17,882 --> 00:40:19,784
{\an8}-Good job, Mercado.
-And Mercado is trying,
686
00:40:19,817 --> 00:40:24,221
{\an8}but Ellie Scotney is just stepping back.
She's rolling out to the right.
687
00:40:24,255 --> 00:40:26,590
{\an8}Her punches are shorter,
sharper, right down the middle.
688
00:40:26,624 --> 00:40:28,893
{\an8}She's landing
just about anything she wants to.
689
00:40:36,584 --> 00:40:37,585
{\an8}She's been crisp
690
00:40:37,618 --> 00:40:39,520
{\an8}there were a lot of people
who have watched her fights
691
00:40:39,553 --> 00:40:41,088
{\an8}who covered her early Scotney's fans
692
00:40:41,122 --> 00:40:44,175
{\an8}and said well what's she going to be
like is they're going to be nerves
693
00:40:44,208 --> 00:40:47,511
{\an8}or they're going to be in but she,
because she was so deer in the headlights
694
00:40:47,545 --> 00:40:50,247
{\an8}-about the week and the fight week…
-Hmm.
695
00:40:50,281 --> 00:40:53,984
{\an8}…but anyone that knew Ellie Scotney
knew what these lights were on,
696
00:40:54,018 --> 00:40:55,736
{\an8}she was going to snap right back in.
697
00:40:55,769 --> 00:40:58,005
{\an8}I mean, even I was
a deer in headlights in this fight week
698
00:40:58,038 --> 00:41:01,492
{\an8}because it's been so incredible
and something we've never seen before.
699
00:41:04,378 --> 00:41:07,114
{\an8}The left hand is down for Mercado.
700
00:41:07,148 --> 00:41:09,667
{\an8}She's gotta watch herself
because Scotney's looking,
701
00:41:09,700 --> 00:41:12,303
{\an8}looking to line her up
and to set her up just like that.
702
00:41:12,336 --> 00:41:14,338
{\an8}She keeps just-- She's just missing.
703
00:41:14,905 --> 00:41:17,475
{\an8}But if it hits the chin,
we may have some problems.
704
00:41:17,508 --> 00:41:19,960
{\an8}Mercado may have some
serious trouble on her hand.
705
00:41:22,763 --> 00:41:24,365
{\an8}Mercado's chin never in doubt.
706
00:41:24,398 --> 00:41:26,116
{\an8}Just watch the fight
against Amanda Serrano
707
00:41:26,150 --> 00:41:27,935
{\an8}that she made it through to the end.
708
00:41:27,968 --> 00:41:31,839
{\an8}And Scotney does a lot of this.
709
00:41:31,872 --> 00:41:35,242
And now it's opened up a huge cut
over the right eye of Mercado.
710
00:41:37,044 --> 00:41:38,512
Good body shots.
711
00:41:38,546 --> 00:41:40,297
Well, Scotney…
712
00:41:40,331 --> 00:41:42,983
…gloves down,
now stalking Yamileth Mercado,
713
00:41:43,017 --> 00:41:44,385
dominating through five.
714
00:41:55,813 --> 00:42:01,202
She is backpedaling. Don't go swinging.
715
00:42:01,235 --> 00:42:04,038
Do it with intelligent pressure.
Bring your feet in.
716
00:42:04,071 --> 00:42:06,106
The only thing you're doing wrong
is you're looking to exit
717
00:42:06,140 --> 00:42:08,108
before you already landed the shot.
718
00:42:08,142 --> 00:42:12,263
Okay? You need to start
rolling your head a little bit more.
719
00:42:12,296 --> 00:42:15,349
Okay? Start rolling your head
on the inside. Stop pulling out.
720
00:42:16,116 --> 00:42:20,371
-It smells like TCP.
-Yeah, you are gonna start--
721
00:42:21,205 --> 00:42:24,692
You can start bashing this girl up now.
Don't you wanna go big.
722
00:42:24,725 --> 00:42:26,460
All she's doing is she's going
that big wide swing.
723
00:42:26,493 --> 00:42:28,245
She is just going big wild swing.
724
00:42:28,279 --> 00:42:29,930
-Just go busy.
-Doing it.
725
00:42:50,134 --> 00:42:51,285
{\an8}She's way home.
726
00:42:53,554 --> 00:42:56,090
{\an8}The two fighters are a long way from home.
727
00:42:58,008 --> 00:43:00,294
{\an8}And that body work
by Scotney is working very well,
728
00:43:00,327 --> 00:43:02,746
{\an8}especially as the rounds go
on and Mercado gets more fatigued.
729
00:43:02,780 --> 00:43:04,231
{\an8}She's gonna fill those shots.
730
00:43:06,483 --> 00:43:09,003
{\an8}Ooh, good shot right there
from Mercado. That's what she has to do.
731
00:43:09,036 --> 00:43:10,421
{\an8}She has to let her hands go.
732
00:43:10,454 --> 00:43:12,790
{\an8}She can't win
if she doesn't trust herself.
733
00:43:15,659 --> 00:43:16,827
{\an8}She's getting hit anyway,
734
00:43:16,860 --> 00:43:19,830
{\an8}so you might as well exchange
and try to push Scotney back
735
00:43:19,863 --> 00:43:22,266
{\an8}with your offense
and get yourself in this fight.
736
00:43:25,202 --> 00:43:26,904
{\an8}In other words,
there could be a certain freedom
737
00:43:26,937 --> 00:43:28,772
{\an8}-to being down 5-0.
-Yes.
738
00:43:28,806 --> 00:43:31,942
{\an8}-Nothing to lose.
-What do you have to lose?
739
00:43:31,976 --> 00:43:33,861
{\an8}Well, the fight.
740
00:43:33,894 --> 00:43:35,179
{\an8}But how are you going to question?
741
00:43:35,212 --> 00:43:36,513
{\an8}You wanna go…
742
00:43:36,547 --> 00:43:40,351
{\an8}Yeah, you don't put yourself
in a position to win if you don't throw.
743
00:43:41,785 --> 00:43:43,921
{\an8}Because thus far,
Scotney's been doing everything.
744
00:43:43,954 --> 00:43:46,273
{\an8}She's been boxing, laying traps.
745
00:43:46,307 --> 00:43:48,859
{\an8}She's had great offense.
I've seen a good jab.
746
00:43:48,892 --> 00:43:51,979
{\an8}And I'm seeing some sneaky body shots
in there every now and again.
747
00:43:52,012 --> 00:43:54,581
{\an8}Let's come back again
to ten two-minute rounds.
748
00:43:54,615 --> 00:43:57,451
{\an8}Guys, you don't have time
to warm up and get into the fight.
749
00:43:57,484 --> 00:43:59,903
{\an8}Or so, you'd blink
and you could be down 3-0.
750
00:44:02,973 --> 00:44:04,358
{\an8}Another shot from Mercado.
751
00:44:04,908 --> 00:44:06,427
{\an8}But still, even with two minutes,
752
00:44:06,460 --> 00:44:08,412
{\an8}Scotney's making it very clear.
753
00:44:08,445 --> 00:44:10,497
{\an8}She's keeping her distance.
754
00:44:10,531 --> 00:44:13,100
{\an8}She's making space, creating space,
755
00:44:13,133 --> 00:44:15,969
{\an8}and lining those beautiful shots
to the head and to the body.
756
00:44:16,003 --> 00:44:18,038
{\an8}So, it makes every round very decisive.
757
00:44:18,072 --> 00:44:20,474
{\an8}Damage of which you could not clearly see.
758
00:44:20,991 --> 00:44:24,094
{\an8}I haven't seen Scotney
in any previous fight look this good
759
00:44:24,128 --> 00:44:25,779
{\an8}and show so many different looks.
760
00:44:29,650 --> 00:44:31,669
{\an8}-Against a world champion.
-Yes.
761
00:44:32,486 --> 00:44:34,505
With 27 professional fights.
762
00:44:38,442 --> 00:44:39,660
Couldn't ask for much more
763
00:44:39,693 --> 00:44:40,911
through six from Ellie Scotney.
764
00:44:47,201 --> 00:44:49,653
Keep mugging her off when she's like that.
765
00:44:50,971 --> 00:44:52,423
-How do you feel?
-All right.
766
00:44:54,074 --> 00:44:55,959
She is… she is busted.
767
00:44:56,493 --> 00:44:58,028
-I still need it.
-Huh?
768
00:45:00,314 --> 00:45:02,499
Ellie, you've done six rounds already.
769
00:45:03,217 --> 00:45:04,201
Give me some breathing now.
770
00:45:04,234 --> 00:45:07,187
Have a little drink.
This drink's coming in, okay?
771
00:45:10,157 --> 00:45:15,179
Listen, more feints, more head movement.
More feints, more head movement.
772
00:45:16,764 --> 00:45:19,066
Listen, more feints, more head movement.
773
00:45:19,900 --> 00:45:22,002
More feints,
more head movement, all right?
774
00:45:23,837 --> 00:45:26,807
And just come out
with them little snappy shots, okay?
775
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:28,392
-It takes seconds, guys.
-Okay?
776
00:45:28,425 --> 00:45:31,161
-Second round coming up, Ellie.
-Of course.
777
00:45:31,195 --> 00:45:34,331
You're taking her apart,
but just do it with combinations.
778
00:45:34,364 --> 00:45:36,533
Don't do it all the time with a single.
779
00:45:39,737 --> 00:45:41,021
In other words…
780
00:45:41,054 --> 00:45:43,023
…we're dominating the fight.
781
00:45:43,056 --> 00:45:46,059
{\an8}We're doing everything we want,
but you could do even better.
782
00:45:46,794 --> 00:45:48,896
{\an8}And coaches often tell their fighter
783
00:45:48,929 --> 00:45:50,597
{\an8}when they're dominating
that so they don't go to sleep,
784
00:45:50,631 --> 00:45:51,999
{\an8}meaning they don't get complacent,
785
00:45:52,032 --> 00:45:53,967
{\an8}and then all of a sudden,
they get caught with a big shot
786
00:45:54,001 --> 00:45:56,453
{\an8}and lose a fight
that they were currently winning.
787
00:46:04,211 --> 00:46:06,463
{\an8}Ariel Helwani
is in the only Scotty's corner
788
00:46:06,497 --> 00:46:07,931
{\an8}with some boxing royalty.
789
00:46:12,436 --> 00:46:13,504
{\an8}What she's doing so far.
790
00:46:13,537 --> 00:46:15,472
{\an8}Yeah, she's using her speed brilliantly,
791
00:46:15,506 --> 00:46:19,026
{\an8}um, you know, there's a big cut there,
Ellie's cut as well,
792
00:46:19,059 --> 00:46:21,295
{\an8}so it's a bit of a scrappy fight
with the heads on the inside.
793
00:46:21,328 --> 00:46:24,915
{\an8}I'd like her to press it a little bit more
and start really taking it to her
794
00:46:24,948 --> 00:46:26,433
{\an8}and beating her up. She's well ahead
795
00:46:26,467 --> 00:46:29,236
{\an8}but she can really
put on a great performance.
796
00:46:29,269 --> 00:46:31,889
{\an8}-Right, yeah, go ahead.
-Is the cut bothering her at all?
797
00:46:31,922 --> 00:46:34,274
{\an8}No, not at all.
She's unfortunately used to getting cut.
798
00:46:34,308 --> 00:46:38,595
{\an8}she's had a few cuts in previous fights,
but, she's an amazing presser fighter,
799
00:46:38,629 --> 00:46:41,181
{\an8}and I need her to press this girl back
and beat her up.
800
00:46:41,215 --> 00:46:43,367
{\an8}Thank you, Shane. Good luck. Thanks, guys.
801
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,152
{\an8}He's not wrong.
802
00:46:45,185 --> 00:46:47,454
{\an8}Yeah, I think that's
great advice for these final rounds.
803
00:46:47,488 --> 00:46:52,893
{\an8}You know, she's way ahead, so go out there
and bring out that killer instinct.
804
00:46:53,794 --> 00:46:55,345
{\an8}I like this round from Mercado, though.
805
00:46:55,379 --> 00:46:59,049
{\an8}She's pressing forward. Oh, good shot.
That's the one we've been talking about.
806
00:46:59,082 --> 00:47:02,152
{\an8}You've been waiting for that
since the first round, Andre.
807
00:47:02,186 --> 00:47:05,789
{\an8}Oh, she hit it with another
short one on the way out the door.
808
00:47:08,225 --> 00:47:09,810
{\an8}I think Mercado still shook up.
809
00:47:12,479 --> 00:47:15,799
{\an8}This guy has got the hands
way down now, looking for a spot.
810
00:47:15,833 --> 00:47:17,784
{\an8}Good way to say
Mercado was having a good round
811
00:47:17,818 --> 00:47:20,103
{\an8}-before that overhand right landed.
-She was.
812
00:47:20,137 --> 00:47:23,257
{\an8}I like the offense. She seemed
to be believing in herself more,
813
00:47:23,290 --> 00:47:25,592
{\an8}and she's giving herself a shot
to land it.
814
00:47:25,626 --> 00:47:27,911
{\an8}You know, an opportunity
to land a big shot.
815
00:47:39,506 --> 00:47:41,909
Scott, he's got the answers through seven.
816
00:47:51,585 --> 00:47:53,737
You're doing good. You're doing good.
817
00:47:54,354 --> 00:47:57,157
But we need these rounds.
We need all these final rounds.
818
00:47:59,643 --> 00:48:02,629
Eight is coming up. Eight, nine, and ten.
819
00:48:03,413 --> 00:48:06,466
We need those. We need those,
and you've got to throw volume.
820
00:48:07,384 --> 00:48:09,336
That's it. You see, she's not throwing.
821
00:48:10,237 --> 00:48:12,389
All right, you've got
to close these rounds.
822
00:48:30,891 --> 00:48:33,944
Press her back
with some feints a little bit.
823
00:48:39,933 --> 00:48:42,736
Yeah, I believe Ricardo.
824
00:48:42,769 --> 00:48:47,774
{\an8}WBC champion has not lost a fight in 2021.
825
00:48:47,808 --> 00:48:49,559
{\an8}And that one was to Amanda Serrano.
826
00:48:51,395 --> 00:48:53,747
{\an8}And Ellie Scotney has
had her way through seven.
827
00:48:54,514 --> 00:48:56,867
{\an8}Good body shot right there from Scotney.
828
00:48:57,734 --> 00:49:00,420
{\an8}That hurts any time during the fight,
but especially down the stretch.
829
00:49:00,454 --> 00:49:02,306
{\an8}You've been spending a lot of energy.
830
00:49:03,206 --> 00:49:04,791
{\an8}Stop, stop.
831
00:49:05,659 --> 00:49:08,495
{\an8}We saw that earlier
in the night with Chantel Cameron
832
00:49:08,528 --> 00:49:11,632
{\an8}throwing those early body shots
and really putting those in the bank.
833
00:49:11,665 --> 00:49:13,317
{\an8}And by the time her fight
with Jessica Kamara
834
00:49:13,350 --> 00:49:16,053
{\an8}got into the later rounds,
she was sitting down.
835
00:49:16,086 --> 00:49:19,373
{\an8}By women's boxing, you don't see
too many body shots from women.
836
00:49:19,406 --> 00:49:21,241
{\an8}It could be
because of the two-minute rounds
837
00:49:21,274 --> 00:49:23,577
{\an8}or they're just not taught
to throw many body shots.
838
00:49:23,610 --> 00:49:24,978
{\an8}Why would that be?
839
00:49:26,296 --> 00:49:29,900
{\an8}You know, it seems just a lot
of women tend to headhunt too much.
840
00:49:29,933 --> 00:49:32,736
{\an8}So when you see a female fighter
who can go to the body
841
00:49:32,769 --> 00:49:35,088
{\an8}and do it well, it's great to see.
842
00:49:36,823 --> 00:49:38,375
{\an8}Mercado's not getting the best of this,
843
00:49:38,408 --> 00:49:39,926
{\an8}but she's doing the right thing right now.
844
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,946
{\an8}She's punching with Scotney,
and she's landing some shots.
845
00:49:42,980 --> 00:49:43,981
{\an8}That's what she has to do.
846
00:49:44,014 --> 00:49:47,668
{\an8}She can't get back
into this fight numerically.
847
00:49:47,701 --> 00:49:50,303
{\an8}She has to try
to land a big shot down the stretch.
848
00:49:50,337 --> 00:49:52,889
{\an8}She's lost too many rounds up
to this point.
849
00:49:54,741 --> 00:49:57,060
{\an8}Scotney knows it,
but she is staying aggressive.
850
00:49:57,094 --> 00:49:59,312
{\an8}She's doing what she's been doing
for the first seven rounds.
851
00:49:59,346 --> 00:50:03,050
{\an8}Now she's got Mercado in the corner
and opens up really for the first time.
852
00:50:06,903 --> 00:50:08,155
{\an8}Strong overhead right.
853
00:50:08,188 --> 00:50:11,541
{\an8}Just missing that overhead right.
That's the one Andre wants.
854
00:50:13,877 --> 00:50:16,063
{\an8}She's been so close on that.
855
00:50:16,096 --> 00:50:19,433
{\an8}Doing a good body shot.
I think Mercado felt that one.
856
00:50:19,466 --> 00:50:22,185
{\an8}See her wince a little bit.
That left hook to the body.
857
00:50:22,219 --> 00:50:24,187
{\an8}Stop. Don't punch. Don't punch.
858
00:50:26,256 --> 00:50:27,424
{\an8}It's a very grueling fight.
859
00:50:27,457 --> 00:50:29,376
{\an8}Not just the punches,
but the wrestling and,
860
00:50:29,409 --> 00:50:30,761
{\an8}you know, just the back and forth.
861
00:50:30,794 --> 00:50:33,296
{\an8}That stuff drains you.
Good combo from both ladies.
862
00:50:34,031 --> 00:50:35,482
Scotney got the best of it.
863
00:50:38,468 --> 00:50:41,271
To unify the world title tonight.
864
00:50:58,055 --> 00:50:58,972
Yeah?
865
00:51:00,774 --> 00:51:02,275
Go on, turn on that scoop.
866
00:51:06,179 --> 00:51:07,264
Fuck it.
867
00:51:10,984 --> 00:51:12,853
-You're looking brilliant.
-What?
868
00:51:12,886 --> 00:51:14,454
-You're looking brilliant.
-You sure?
869
00:51:14,488 --> 00:51:16,640
You're looking brilliant, okay?
870
00:51:18,008 --> 00:51:20,460
Come on, this girl's at one point
where she can't move back.
871
00:51:20,494 --> 00:51:22,696
Every time you just move over, you just…
872
00:51:22,729 --> 00:51:24,781
Breathe them out.
873
00:51:24,815 --> 00:51:26,733
All right, don't worry about it.
874
00:51:45,752 --> 00:51:48,889
{\an8}Ellie Scotney
with a big lead as we go to round nine.
875
00:51:50,073 --> 00:51:54,544
{\an8}When you spend time with her,
she is so extraordinarily disarming.
876
00:51:55,078 --> 00:51:57,597
{\an8}It's hard to imagine
a personality like that
877
00:51:57,631 --> 00:52:00,267
{\an8}coming with such power and precision.
878
00:52:00,817 --> 00:52:03,653
{\an8}She's totally--
personality is totally different
879
00:52:03,687 --> 00:52:06,089
{\an8}in the ring
than she is outside of the ring.
880
00:52:08,024 --> 00:52:10,277
{\an8}She is not satisfied with the big lead.
881
00:52:11,645 --> 00:52:13,497
{\an8}-Can't be.
-As the numbers will tell you.
882
00:52:13,530 --> 00:52:17,134
{\an8}Not in this sport. You never know
what the judges are looking at.
883
00:52:21,388 --> 00:52:23,323
{\an8}Good exchanges from both ladies.
884
00:52:24,207 --> 00:52:27,561
{\an8}Scotney snuck a left body shot underneath
for good measure.
885
00:52:29,162 --> 00:52:32,566
{\an8}Left hook up top to the body and up top.
886
00:52:34,768 --> 00:52:36,686
{\an8}Mercado said, "Let me get some of that".
887
00:52:36,720 --> 00:52:39,906
{\an8}But she needs a short right
trying to walk in.
888
00:52:44,794 --> 00:52:46,530
{\an8}Obviously not a knockdown.
889
00:52:57,107 --> 00:53:00,660
{\an8}All these exchanges, it seems
Scotney's getting the extra shot.
890
00:53:01,394 --> 00:53:02,596
{\an8}Oh, my goodness.
891
00:53:06,900 --> 00:53:09,953
{\an8}Scotney just cannot miss that right hand.
892
00:53:12,122 --> 00:53:15,926
{\an8}Especially now as Mercado's getting
very fatigued with these last two rounds.
893
00:53:17,060 --> 00:53:18,445
{\an8}And you know she's getting fatigued
894
00:53:18,478 --> 00:53:20,564
{\an8}because she's holding on
a lot longer than she was
895
00:53:20,597 --> 00:53:23,867
{\an8}at any other point in this fight.
Another big shot right there.
896
00:53:26,236 --> 00:53:30,207
{\an8}You don't take shots at the end of a fight
the way you do in the beginning.
897
00:53:30,240 --> 00:53:32,692
{\an8}It's like those punches start
to chip away at you.
898
00:53:34,144 --> 00:53:36,846
-So it's worse at the end.
-Absolutely.
899
00:53:39,666 --> 00:53:42,969
And it has gone from bad
to much worse for Yamileth Mercado.
900
00:53:47,991 --> 00:53:49,826
Be a bull, all right?
901
00:53:49,859 --> 00:53:52,679
Keep those fucking hands
in and walk this girl down.
902
00:53:52,712 --> 00:53:55,966
You can stop this girl, okay?
I'm telling you.
903
00:53:55,999 --> 00:53:58,618
All right, you're well up. You're well up.
904
00:53:59,669 --> 00:54:01,905
You're well up.
You're here to start on the show,
905
00:54:01,938 --> 00:54:04,324
not just win a world title, okay?
906
00:54:05,242 --> 00:54:07,010
You're well within yourself.
907
00:54:07,043 --> 00:54:11,248
Just do us a favor, rip that right hook
and find the left edge of your body.
908
00:54:11,281 --> 00:54:12,899
Don't headhunt this girl.
909
00:54:12,933 --> 00:54:15,068
Rip it there and bounce there.
910
00:54:16,169 --> 00:54:17,504
The ladies have had a decent amount
911
00:54:17,537 --> 00:54:18,788
of wrestling in this fight.
912
00:54:18,822 --> 00:54:21,691
It comes with the territory,
but Scotney says, get off of me.
913
00:54:21,725 --> 00:54:24,844
She gets frustrated
and she throws Mercado down
914
00:54:24,878 --> 00:54:26,346
and it takes a lot of energy.
915
00:54:26,379 --> 00:54:29,332
It doesn't look like it, but it does
when you've fought eight, nine rounds
916
00:54:29,366 --> 00:54:32,502
and you have to pick yourself up
and reset to go fight again.
917
00:54:35,038 --> 00:54:38,408
This is the final round.
918
00:54:46,032 --> 00:54:47,484
{\an8}Tenth and final round.
919
00:54:49,486 --> 00:54:50,754
{\an8}And it begins with an exchange.
920
00:54:50,787 --> 00:54:53,790
{\an8}Ellie Scotney has fought this fight
as if she's downed Naito.
921
00:54:54,824 --> 00:54:57,727
{\an8}She's become even more aggressive
as the fight has gone on.
922
00:54:58,845 --> 00:55:00,513
{\an8}Yeah, that's called closing the show.
923
00:55:00,547 --> 00:55:03,500
{\an8}That's called leaving no doubt
and making sure
924
00:55:03,533 --> 00:55:07,470
{\an8}that you go home with your belts
and another one as well.
925
00:55:07,504 --> 00:55:09,189
{\an8}It reminds you that you don't realize
926
00:55:09,222 --> 00:55:10,640
{\an8}the card is unofficial, but I think
927
00:55:10,674 --> 00:55:13,460
{\an8}it's safe to say
we all feel pretty good about it.
928
00:55:13,493 --> 00:55:15,845
{\an8}-This is boxing, man.
-That's true.
929
00:55:15,879 --> 00:55:16,930
{\an8}And we've seen some crazy things.
930
00:55:16,963 --> 00:55:18,081
{\an8}We've seen a bad decision tonight.
931
00:55:18,114 --> 00:55:21,351
{\an8}Wasn't quite this lopsided,
but we saw one. Anything is possible.
932
00:55:21,384 --> 00:55:23,987
{\an8}-Oh.
-Mercado stumbles.
933
00:55:25,205 --> 00:55:27,007
{\an8}And that wasn't the volume of that shot.
934
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:30,410
{\an8}That was the nine-and-a-half rounds
of punishment she's taken.
935
00:55:30,443 --> 00:55:31,678
{\an8}Mercado holding on,
936
00:55:31,711 --> 00:55:35,048
{\an8}and she's getting desperate
because it's the last round.
937
00:55:35,081 --> 00:55:38,251
{\an8}She knows she's down.
She's trying to throw big punches,
938
00:55:38,284 --> 00:55:41,054
{\an8}hard punches,
and that could be dangerous for her.
939
00:55:42,188 --> 00:55:43,973
{\an8}No back down, no turn in Mercado.
940
00:55:44,007 --> 00:55:46,576
{\an8}She just didn't have the right game plan,
and I think she's going to regret
941
00:55:46,609 --> 00:55:48,611
{\an8}not trusting herself more in this fight.
942
00:55:50,964 --> 00:55:52,382
{\an8}And starting so slow.
943
00:55:53,099 --> 00:55:56,336
{\an8}But she's got good offense.
She has a good right hand.
944
00:55:56,369 --> 00:55:58,888
{\an8}And she's taking a lot more like that.
945
00:55:58,922 --> 00:56:00,390
{\an8}Right on the money.
946
00:56:00,423 --> 00:56:04,077
{\an8}Mercado stumbling here as we move
towards the final thirty seconds.
947
00:56:07,731 --> 00:56:11,000
{\an8}This had all the makings
of a star-making performance
948
00:56:11,034 --> 00:56:13,686
{\an8}for Ellie Scotney,
and she has not disappointed.
949
00:56:23,863 --> 00:56:25,915
{\an8}And still not satisfied.
950
00:56:29,252 --> 00:56:32,989
{\an8}Ellie Scotney is waiting
for the world to see her put on a show,
951
00:56:33,022 --> 00:56:34,224
{\an8}and she has done it.
952
00:56:35,008 --> 00:56:40,547
{\an8}From start to finish, the Queen
of Catford has just taken New York.
953
00:56:48,104 --> 00:56:49,155
She did that.
954
00:56:55,078 --> 00:56:57,647
An extraordinary performance
by Ellie Scotney.
955
00:56:57,680 --> 00:56:59,732
We'll be back with the official decision.
956
00:57:11,060 --> 00:57:15,598
At the start of the fight, guys,
we talked about the stage,
957
00:57:15,632 --> 00:57:18,485
and the people closest to Ellie Scotney
said, "She's gonna be fine."
958
00:57:18,518 --> 00:57:20,153
Once she got on it, they were wrong.
959
00:57:20,186 --> 00:57:23,623
She wasn't fine, she wasn't even better
when the bright lights were up.
960
00:57:23,656 --> 00:57:25,909
Even better.
This was the best version of Scotney,
961
00:57:25,942 --> 00:57:28,478
that I've seen,
and I'm looking forward to seeing
962
00:57:28,511 --> 00:57:30,763
what else she can do.
Seeing more improvement.
963
00:57:31,748 --> 00:57:34,367
Yeah, very exciting
to see a fighter rise to the occasion.
964
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:36,319
You hear that said all the time,
965
00:57:36,352 --> 00:57:39,889
but to see it, to see a fighter do
the best that they've ever done
966
00:57:39,923 --> 00:57:41,991
on the biggest stage is always refreshing.
967
00:57:42,025 --> 00:57:44,010
That's championship material. Top stuff.
968
00:57:44,043 --> 00:57:46,930
And so it's Yamileth.
She's championship material.
969
00:57:46,963 --> 00:57:48,748
She was a very worthy champion.
970
00:57:48,781 --> 00:57:51,034
One of the longest
reigning champions in boxing
971
00:57:51,067 --> 00:57:54,537
until, presumably,
this decision ends that run.
972
00:57:54,571 --> 00:57:57,056
But again, there are levels to this,
973
00:57:57,090 --> 00:58:01,961
and Ellie Scotney's level is rising,
and her stock is rising by the minute.
974
00:58:20,513 --> 00:58:22,198
And now, in that moment,
975
00:58:22,232 --> 00:58:26,386
you can start to see some of the real
Ellie Scotney personality come out.
976
00:58:27,453 --> 00:58:29,689
And Mercado showed the heart of a lion,
977
00:58:29,722 --> 00:58:32,308
but she just was not able
to implement her gameplan
978
00:58:32,342 --> 00:58:34,460
and hesitated too much early.
979
00:58:34,494 --> 00:58:35,979
And before you know it, it was too late,
980
00:58:36,012 --> 00:58:40,183
because Scotney got into that rhythm,
she was landing beautiful body shots,
981
00:58:40,216 --> 00:58:44,504
right hands, sharp left hooks,
everything you can think of.
982
00:58:45,038 --> 00:58:48,725
There's a mural of Mercado
in her hometown of Chihuahua, Mexico,
983
00:58:49,225 --> 00:58:50,493
and there should be.
984
00:58:51,010 --> 00:58:57,217
Another pioneer, another champion
in an extraordinarily proud tradition.
985
00:58:59,118 --> 00:59:04,407
And there is the smile that's gonna be
lighting up screens around the world
986
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:05,875
for a long time.
987
00:59:21,708 --> 00:59:24,727
A star-making performance
from Ellie Scotney.
988
00:59:24,761 --> 00:59:26,679
Big Mo has the official word.
989
00:59:28,998 --> 00:59:35,004
Ladies and gentlemen,
after ten full championship rounds,
990
00:59:35,038 --> 00:59:38,241
we go to the judges' scorecards
for the official decision.
991
00:59:38,274 --> 00:59:42,912
Judge Tim Cheatham sees the contest,
100 to 90,
992
00:59:42,946 --> 00:59:46,165
while judges Robert Perez
and Robin Taylor see it,
993
00:59:46,199 --> 00:59:48,468
ninety-eight to 92,
994
00:59:48,501 --> 00:59:51,454
declaring your winner
by unanimous decision.
995
00:59:51,487 --> 00:59:57,427
And now the unified WBC,
WBO, IBF, and Ring Magazine
996
00:59:57,460 --> 01:00:01,347
super bantamweight
champion of the world,
997
01:00:02,031 --> 01:00:07,670
Ellie Scotney!
998
01:00:16,162 --> 01:00:20,667
{\an8}The dominant star-making
performance the Ellie Scotney camp
999
01:00:20,700 --> 01:00:22,118
hoped it would be.
1000
01:00:23,519 --> 01:00:27,206
And if you've never heard Ellie Scotney
before, you're in for a treat.
1001
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:29,726
The unified champ is with Ariel Helwani.
1002
01:00:30,827 --> 01:00:34,163
Guys thank you very much
we're here with the champ Ellie Scotney.
1003
01:00:34,197 --> 01:00:36,966
Ellie, when you dreamed
of your American debut
1004
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:39,585
of your Madison Square Garden debut.
1005
01:00:39,619 --> 01:00:42,839
Did you ever dare to dream
of a performance quite like this?
1006
01:00:42,872 --> 01:00:44,624
-So dominant?
-Do you know what everyone first
1007
01:00:44,657 --> 01:00:46,476
and foremost all glory to God
1008
01:00:46,509 --> 01:00:49,462
I've had a real test in past few months
as everyone knows
1009
01:00:49,495 --> 01:00:52,532
{\an8}I lost my dear friend Georgia.
So, tonight was for her.
1010
01:00:52,565 --> 01:00:54,567
{\an8}Her dad's over here.
And I'd like everyone
1011
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:56,569
{\an8}to give her a round of applause.
1012
01:00:56,602 --> 01:00:59,105
{\an8}She was 25 years old,
she was a fighter,
1013
01:00:59,138 --> 01:01:00,907
and she lost her battle to cancer.
1014
01:01:00,940 --> 01:01:04,277
But tonight, I'll make sure her name's
remembered in Madison Square Garden.
1015
01:01:04,310 --> 01:01:06,029
And that sums up my night.
1016
01:01:06,546 --> 01:01:08,915
Well, congratulations on
an incredible performance.
1017
01:01:08,948 --> 01:01:11,951
I know your family ringside
is so very happy for you,
1018
01:01:11,984 --> 01:01:14,671
loudly cheering you on
throughout the entire fight.
1019
01:01:14,704 --> 01:01:19,442
Madison Square Garden,
give it up for Ellie Scotney!
1020
01:01:23,730 --> 01:01:27,417
The Queen of Catford. Next up, The World.
1021
01:01:29,702 --> 01:01:32,889
Incredible performance
and just the performance you want
1022
01:01:32,922 --> 01:01:35,291
people to see when
they're first tuning in
1023
01:01:35,324 --> 01:01:37,427
to watch women's boxing
for the first time.
1024
01:01:38,294 --> 01:01:40,263
Which we know many of you are tonight,
1025
01:01:40,296 --> 01:01:42,965
and you have come to the right place,
1026
01:01:42,999 --> 01:01:47,270
because Ellie Scotney is just starting
this spectacular show,
1027
01:01:47,854 --> 01:01:51,207
one that is generations
in the making.
1028
01:01:51,724 --> 01:01:56,412
One belt away now is Ellie Scotney
from becoming the undisputed champion.
1029
01:01:56,446 --> 01:02:00,933
Her countrywoman, Savannah Marshall,
returning after two years.
1030
01:02:00,967 --> 01:02:03,803
That is a fight that could end up
stealing the show.
1031
01:02:04,454 --> 01:02:05,705
And from there,
1032
01:02:05,738 --> 01:02:09,642
sometimes Alycia Baumgardner
is the show, the whole show.
1033
01:02:09,675 --> 01:02:12,812
She was born for nights like this.
And in the co-main event,
1034
01:02:12,845 --> 01:02:15,915
she will walk that aisle
and try to steal this night,
1035
01:02:15,948 --> 01:02:21,003
which will be very hard to do
when you consider how the night will end.
1036
01:02:21,621 --> 01:02:26,676
Three years ago, they changed the game
by selling out Madison Square Garden
1037
01:02:26,709 --> 01:02:28,161
with the fight of the year.
1038
01:02:29,028 --> 01:02:31,631
On the Tyson-Paul undercard
in the rematch.
1039
01:02:31,664 --> 01:02:36,602
It felt like the world was watching.
Tonight, the trilogy comes to an end.
1040
01:02:37,787 --> 01:02:41,707
Kate, we could not have envisioned
a better start.
1041
01:02:47,563 --> 01:02:50,116
No, Sean, we certainly could not have.
1042
01:02:50,149 --> 01:02:52,969
We are off, and as Sean said,
to a great start.
1043
01:02:53,002 --> 01:02:57,056
{\an8}Welcome along to our studio up here
at the top of the arena,
1044
01:02:57,089 --> 01:02:58,775
{\an8}Kate Scott, Laila Ali.
1045
01:02:58,808 --> 01:03:01,577
{\an8}I guess I want to talk about
the performance
1046
01:03:01,611 --> 01:03:05,965
{\an8}that we just saw by Ellie Scotney
adding the WBC title to her collection.
1047
01:03:05,998 --> 01:03:08,117
It was a good test against
the seasoned fighter, right?
1048
01:03:08,151 --> 01:03:10,903
But I know that what you particularly
liked was her work with her left hand.
1049
01:03:10,937 --> 01:03:14,974
Oh man, she was doing everything.
She did an amazing performance.
1050
01:03:15,007 --> 01:03:17,627
{\an8}She had the right mindset.
She came in there,
1051
01:03:17,660 --> 01:03:20,763
{\an8}she just kept finding openings
with that left hook to the body,
1052
01:03:20,797 --> 01:03:22,031
{\an8}left hook to the head,
1053
01:03:22,064 --> 01:03:24,417
{\an8}and I just knew she was going to start
landing that overhand right,
1054
01:03:24,450 --> 01:03:25,868
{\an8}which she did.
1055
01:03:25,902 --> 01:03:28,154
{\an8}And you know,
the sad thing about it was
1056
01:03:28,187 --> 01:03:31,157
{\an8}that Mercado just waited too long
to get into the fight.
1057
01:03:31,190 --> 01:03:33,075
{\an8}You know she wasn't confident
in herself from the beginning.
1058
01:03:33,109 --> 01:03:36,128
{\an8}She was pushing her punches,
and she had her--
1059
01:03:36,162 --> 01:03:37,897
And she had her chin up in the air.
1060
01:03:37,930 --> 01:03:40,416
So, she really made it an easy night
for Scotney.
1061
01:03:40,449 --> 01:03:41,934
And I'm sure she's going to have
a lot of regrets
1062
01:03:41,968 --> 01:03:43,920
because she has a lot of talent
and a lot of heart.
1063
01:03:43,953 --> 01:03:46,522
Yes, absolutely. A lot of potential there
for Ellie Scotney,
1064
01:03:46,556 --> 01:03:49,575
we're excited to see her future.
I want to talk about the main event
1065
01:03:49,609 --> 01:03:51,327
because we've been here
for the past couple of days.
1066
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:52,595
You were at the weigh-in yesterday.
1067
01:03:52,628 --> 01:03:54,580
You've been feeling the energy
around Fight Week.
1068
01:03:54,614 --> 01:03:58,651
As we know, and as you know very well,
Fight Week can be exhausting for fighters,
1069
01:03:58,684 --> 01:04:00,603
especially for popular fighters
like you were,
1070
01:04:00,636 --> 01:04:03,573
like Katie Taylor is,
like Amanda Serrano is.
1071
01:04:03,606 --> 01:04:07,193
At what point were you really able
to zone in to Fight Week?
1072
01:04:07,226 --> 01:04:09,529
-When did it switch?
-Well, for me,
1073
01:04:09,562 --> 01:04:12,315
I was thinking, like, man, they have
to do so much, because it's not fun.
1074
01:04:12,348 --> 01:04:14,250
Like, I like to really focus
on the fight, right?
1075
01:04:14,283 --> 01:04:16,285
If you have to do what you got
to do to promote the fight,
1076
01:04:16,319 --> 01:04:18,754
right, for the fans.
But for me, it was like the night
1077
01:04:18,788 --> 01:04:20,523
before the fight
and the morning of the fight.
1078
01:04:20,556 --> 01:04:22,241
That's when I would turn
into She Be Stinging.
1079
01:04:22,275 --> 01:04:25,127
There was no more Laila.
I would have to put them braids in,
1080
01:04:25,161 --> 01:04:27,313
you know, grease up that face
and get ready to scrap.
1081
01:04:27,346 --> 01:04:28,598
So, I'm coming for you, yeah.
1082
01:04:28,631 --> 01:04:30,349
You've been in a rematch though.
1083
01:04:30,383 --> 01:04:32,084
-You fought Valerie Marfou twice, right?
-Yeah.
1084
01:04:32,118 --> 01:04:33,669
And what's the difference in mindset
1085
01:04:33,703 --> 01:04:35,354
when you're facing somebody
for the second time?
1086
01:04:35,388 --> 01:04:38,157
Well, you know,
I beat her the first time and stopped her.
1087
01:04:38,190 --> 01:04:40,026
And the fact
that she was doing all this talking,
1088
01:04:40,059 --> 01:04:41,177
I said, you know what?
1089
01:04:41,210 --> 01:04:43,746
I'm gonna let her come back
and try to get her belts back.
1090
01:04:43,779 --> 01:04:46,215
And I knew what she had,
she knew what I had.
1091
01:04:46,249 --> 01:04:49,018
So, now you really are gonna take
even more chances.
1092
01:04:49,051 --> 01:04:52,121
I was. I was gonna take more chances
because I had already faced her.
1093
01:04:52,154 --> 01:04:54,073
And I knew that she just didn't have
what it took to beat me.
1094
01:04:54,106 --> 01:04:55,925
So, I think it's different
for every fighter.
1095
01:04:55,958 --> 01:04:58,878
But just knowing your opponent's strengths
and weaknesses
1096
01:04:58,911 --> 01:05:01,981
and going back to the gym
to try to do better the next time,
1097
01:05:02,014 --> 01:05:03,566
that's inspiring.
1098
01:05:03,599 --> 01:05:06,786
See what you can adapt and change.
Yes, so Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano,
1099
01:05:06,819 --> 01:05:09,038
they're meeting
for the third time tonight.
1100
01:05:09,071 --> 01:05:13,009
As we know, some of the greatest stories
ever told come in the form of trilogies.
1101
01:05:13,042 --> 01:05:15,861
It's true in Hollywood, you have
to look no further than theStar Wars
1102
01:05:15,895 --> 01:05:19,415
or theLord of the Ringsmovies,
and it's certainly true in boxing.
1103
01:05:19,448 --> 01:05:23,102
Tonight, Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano
are poised to join the ranks
1104
01:05:23,135 --> 01:05:27,006
of the greatest three-part stories
in modern boxing history.
1105
01:05:27,039 --> 01:05:29,208
Here's a look back at some of the best.
1106
01:05:32,595 --> 01:05:36,148
{\an8}There is no boxing trilogy
more iconic than my father,
1107
01:05:36,182 --> 01:05:38,768
{\an8}Muhammad Ali, against Joe Frazier.
1108
01:05:38,801 --> 01:05:41,621
Their three battles
were global cultural events.
1109
01:05:42,421 --> 01:05:47,910
{\an8}With Frazier dealing Ali his first
career loss in their opener in 1971.
1110
01:05:49,845 --> 01:05:53,733
{\an8}Ali responded three years later,
taking the rematch.
1111
01:05:53,766 --> 01:05:55,518
{\an8}Muhammad Ali!
1112
01:05:55,551 --> 01:05:57,737
That set up their final showdown.
1113
01:05:57,770 --> 01:06:00,523
{\an8}Thrilla in Manila!
1114
01:06:00,556 --> 01:06:04,744
{\an8}Ali's brutal 14th round
TKO victory is widely believed
1115
01:06:04,777 --> 01:06:07,213
to be the greatest fight
in boxing history.
1116
01:06:07,246 --> 01:06:10,032
{\an8}Still the
heavyweight champion of the world.
1117
01:06:10,066 --> 01:06:11,801
{\an8}In the '90s, Riddick Bowe
1118
01:06:11,834 --> 01:06:15,454
{\an8}and Evander Holyfield slugged their way
through three classic bouts.
1119
01:06:15,488 --> 01:06:17,723
{\an8}Look at Holyfield! What a warrior!
1120
01:06:17,757 --> 01:06:22,478
{\an8}Bowe won by unanimous decision
in the first, but Holyfield,
1121
01:06:22,511 --> 01:06:25,648
{\an8}known as The Real Deal
before Amanda Serrano was born,
1122
01:06:25,681 --> 01:06:27,316
{\an8}claimed the rematch.
1123
01:06:29,352 --> 01:06:33,973
{\an8}In the final act, Bowe got the win
in the series-only stoppage.
1124
01:06:35,358 --> 01:06:38,561
{\an8}At the turn of the century,
a bitter heritage rivalry
1125
01:06:38,594 --> 01:06:41,747
{\an8}between Marco Antonio Barrera
of Mexico City
1126
01:06:41,781 --> 01:06:45,668
{\an8}and Tijuana's Eric Morales,
split their country in two.
1127
01:06:45,701 --> 01:06:49,088
{\an8}What a proud display
by Marco Antonio Barrera.
1128
01:06:49,121 --> 01:06:53,409
{\an8}The first won by Morales
and the next two by Barrera.
1129
01:06:54,243 --> 01:06:58,247
{\an8}Arturo Gatti and Mickey Ward
fought 30 relentless rounds
1130
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:02,101
{\an8}in 13 months, earning back-to-back
Fight of the Year honors
1131
01:07:02,134 --> 01:07:04,236
{\an8}while bringing out the best in each other.
1132
01:07:05,304 --> 01:07:06,722
Ward took the opening.
1133
01:07:07,273 --> 01:07:09,241
Gotti took parts two and three.
1134
01:07:10,309 --> 01:07:13,612
These warriors and friends
were indelibly linked forever,
1135
01:07:13,646 --> 01:07:18,067
{\an8}putting an exclamation point on a trilogy
that added their names to the list
1136
01:07:18,100 --> 01:07:20,519
{\an8}of the greatest in boxing history.
1137
01:07:25,558 --> 01:07:28,110
Well, stating the obvious here,
but you might have noticed, all
1138
01:07:28,144 --> 01:07:31,063
of those legendary trilogies
involved male fighters,
1139
01:07:31,097 --> 01:07:33,799
which is part of what makes
tonight so very special.
1140
01:07:33,833 --> 01:07:37,887
It is the first great trilogy
in the history of women's boxing.
1141
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:40,056
Obviously, we still have
the third fight to go,
1142
01:07:40,089 --> 01:07:43,125
so maybe too soon to say that.
We're hoping for another exciting fight.
1143
01:07:43,159 --> 01:07:46,262
What does this fight have to deliver,
Laila, to be able to fit into
1144
01:07:46,295 --> 01:07:48,214
that pantheon of great trilogies?
1145
01:07:48,247 --> 01:07:51,333
I mean, we have already seen
in their first two fights
1146
01:07:51,367 --> 01:07:53,119
the emotions that go into it,
1147
01:07:53,152 --> 01:07:54,870
the highs, the lows,
the ups, the downs.
1148
01:07:54,904 --> 01:07:56,021
Like, who's going to win?
1149
01:07:56,055 --> 01:07:58,541
I mean, you know,
the fans are divided, right?
1150
01:07:58,574 --> 01:08:00,342
And I think that that's
what this third fight
1151
01:08:00,376 --> 01:08:03,979
is going to have to do as well.
You know, it's more than a fight.
1152
01:08:04,013 --> 01:08:07,266
There's just so much on the line.
Both of these ladies want to win so badly,
1153
01:08:07,299 --> 01:08:09,068
and they have so many people
behind them.
1154
01:08:09,101 --> 01:08:10,970
And I think that's really
what makes the difference.
1155
01:08:11,003 --> 01:08:12,037
Another all-time classic.
1156
01:08:12,071 --> 01:08:13,773
You're thinking that's what we're going
to see tonight?
1157
01:08:13,806 --> 01:08:17,059
-Absolutely.
-Okay, let's go. Let's deliver.
1158
01:08:17,093 --> 01:08:21,597
Well, I'm hearing that Katie Taylor
is in the building.
1159
01:08:21,630 --> 01:08:24,700
Are we right?
1160
01:08:24,733 --> 01:08:27,002
We'll get to her maybe in just a second.
1161
01:08:27,036 --> 01:08:30,256
Let me continue to talk
to you about trilogies, Laila.
1162
01:08:30,289 --> 01:08:33,109
Because I guess what's unusual
is we're seeing a trilogy fight
1163
01:08:33,142 --> 01:08:35,277
where one fighter won both
of the first fights.
1164
01:08:35,311 --> 01:08:39,965
What that tells you is superiority
has not yet been established.
1165
01:08:39,999 --> 01:08:41,834
Well, I will say this.
1166
01:08:41,867 --> 01:08:45,354
I know that usually it'd be one and one
is why you would have a third fight.
1167
01:08:45,387 --> 01:08:49,225
So, the fact that Katie is, you know,
giving Amanda this opportunity
1168
01:08:49,258 --> 01:08:51,861
to fight her again is great.
But I mean, they're also getting a payday.
1169
01:08:51,894 --> 01:08:54,413
Let's not get it twisted.
This is a great opportunity.
1170
01:08:54,446 --> 01:08:56,932
Okay, yeah, it's a great opportunity.
1171
01:08:56,966 --> 01:08:59,351
I mean, look how they're elevating
all these women.
1172
01:08:59,385 --> 01:09:02,538
All these women on this card
have this opportunity because of them,
1173
01:09:02,571 --> 01:09:05,674
because they said yes to this fight.
And I think that…
1174
01:09:06,942 --> 01:09:10,112
Katie definitely wants to show,
"No, I won those fights fair and square."
1175
01:09:10,146 --> 01:09:12,114
And Amanda wants to say,
"No, I won those fights."
1176
01:09:12,148 --> 01:09:14,533
"I just didn't win them, you know,
in the eyes of the judges."
1177
01:09:14,567 --> 01:09:17,636
So, I'm hoping she's gonna go
for a knockout tonight because really,
1178
01:09:17,670 --> 01:09:19,705
that's what you want to do.
You know what I'm saying?
1179
01:09:19,738 --> 01:09:22,024
-If you feel like you arrived.
-Right.
1180
01:09:22,057 --> 01:09:23,375
Absolutely, well the queen of Ireland,
1181
01:09:23,409 --> 01:09:25,628
you're seeing a Katie Taylor
is in the building.
1182
01:09:25,661 --> 01:09:27,930
Growing up over there in Ireland
she had to pretend to be a boy
1183
01:09:27,963 --> 01:09:32,401
just to get that opportunity to box.
Undeniable talent that helped bring,
1184
01:09:32,434 --> 01:09:35,754
women's boxing to the Olympics in 2012.
1185
01:09:35,788 --> 01:09:38,691
She won a gold medal there.
She's a pioneer, she's a champion.
1186
01:09:38,724 --> 01:09:41,844
She's gonna look to make it three wins
out of three tonight.
1187
01:09:43,128 --> 01:09:46,115
What about the opponent, Amanda Serrano?
1188
01:09:46,148 --> 01:09:49,001
That's who
she's gonna be fighting this evening.
1189
01:09:49,034 --> 01:09:52,221
Legendary fighter in her own right,
seven division world champion.
1190
01:09:52,254 --> 01:09:55,474
She is originally from Puerto Rico.
She's a New Yorker though, at heart.
1191
01:09:55,507 --> 01:09:57,760
Grew up just a few miles from here,
over in Brooklyn.
1192
01:09:57,793 --> 01:10:00,262
She's been a strong advocate
for more exposure.
1193
01:10:00,296 --> 01:10:03,249
Bigger paydays for women in her sport.
1194
01:10:03,282 --> 01:10:07,186
She's gone up on the big screen,
and she is popular in here this evening.
1195
01:10:07,219 --> 01:10:11,073
Tonight, Serrano, Taylor,
reportedly receiving the largest purses
1196
01:10:11,106 --> 01:10:14,660
in the history of women's boxing.
More power to them.
1197
01:10:14,693 --> 01:10:19,215
Let's send it now over to Ariel Helwani,
who is ringside, I believe,
1198
01:10:19,248 --> 01:10:22,268
with a special guest.
Ariel, if you can hear me.
1199
01:10:22,301 --> 01:10:23,369
That's right, Kate.
1200
01:10:23,402 --> 01:10:26,455
Here with the co-founder
of Most Valuable Promotions,
1201
01:10:26,488 --> 01:10:27,856
the one and only Nakisa Bidarian,
1202
01:10:27,890 --> 01:10:30,492
who is all fired up
seeing Amanda enter the building.
1203
01:10:30,526 --> 01:10:34,029
Look, usually trilogies don't happen
when someone is down O-two.
1204
01:10:34,063 --> 01:10:36,448
Could you tell me about the pressure
that Amanda's feeling
1205
01:10:36,482 --> 01:10:39,919
-going into tonight, Nakisa?
-Absolutely zero pressure.
1206
01:10:39,952 --> 01:10:42,488
She's one of the greatest,
if not the greatest,
1207
01:10:42,521 --> 01:10:44,340
Female fighter of all time.
1208
01:10:44,373 --> 01:10:48,677
{\an8}She is the greatest Puerto Rican boxer
of all time and this is her night,
1209
01:10:48,711 --> 01:10:51,547
{\an8}and Katie's night together.
They've made this magical moment
1210
01:10:51,580 --> 01:10:54,883
{\an8}for the sport, for the women,
and I'm happy for both of them.
1211
01:10:54,917 --> 01:10:58,787
{\an8}It's also a big night for you personally.
You posted on social media earlier today,
1212
01:10:58,821 --> 01:11:01,774
what this evening means for you
and your family.
1213
01:11:01,807 --> 01:11:04,944
For those that may have missed it,
can you share some of that?
1214
01:11:05,494 --> 01:11:10,916
I was raised by a single mother
who drove a Jaguar at age 18,
1215
01:11:10,950 --> 01:11:16,905
and lost everything and got her first job
at age 32, working at a shoe store
1216
01:11:16,939 --> 01:11:19,358
and a donut shop on the weekends.
1217
01:11:19,391 --> 01:11:24,163
We had six of us in a two-bedroom house
and I saw the struggle of a woman
1218
01:11:24,196 --> 01:11:27,583
who came from everything to nothing,
and how she persevered through it
1219
01:11:27,616 --> 01:11:31,787
to put us through high school,
college, masters.
1220
01:11:31,820 --> 01:11:33,522
And the women here tonight,
1221
01:11:33,555 --> 01:11:36,392
all 16 of them,
have given their entire life,
1222
01:11:36,425 --> 01:11:39,345
dedicated every single day
to give us this night,
1223
01:11:39,378 --> 01:11:42,715
and that, to me, is the highlight
of my professional career.
1224
01:11:42,748 --> 01:11:45,684
-Congratulations. Good luck tonight.
-Thank you, Ariel.
1225
01:11:45,718 --> 01:11:46,869
Kate back to you.
1226
01:11:48,053 --> 01:11:50,089
Thank you very much, Ariel.
Good to hear from you.
1227
01:11:50,122 --> 01:11:54,326
Good to hear from Nakisa. Coming up next,
is our second title fight of the night.
1228
01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:57,629
We're gonna bring you that
and much more after a very short break.
1229
01:11:57,663 --> 01:11:58,764
Don't move, everybody.
1230
01:12:10,109 --> 01:12:11,677
What a night it's been already.
1231
01:12:11,710 --> 01:12:14,279
Ellie Scotney putting on a show,
the pop of the crowd.
1232
01:12:14,313 --> 01:12:15,364
But Amanda Serrano,
1233
01:12:15,397 --> 01:12:18,367
who was on the jumbotron
wearing her Knicks jersey.
1234
01:12:18,400 --> 01:12:21,937
You get a feeling the electricity
is gonna go over the top
1235
01:12:21,970 --> 01:12:23,405
by the time we get to the main event.
1236
01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:25,874
But we've got work to do
before we get there.
1237
01:12:25,908 --> 01:12:28,894
We move now to a unifier
at super middleweight.
1238
01:12:28,927 --> 01:12:32,147
It's been a couple of years
since we've seen Savannah Marshall
1239
01:12:32,181 --> 01:12:34,299
inside the boxing ring.
1240
01:12:34,333 --> 01:12:36,602
But the story's
a lot more complicated than that.
1241
01:12:36,635 --> 01:12:38,987
Let's check back in
with Sean Wheelock for the rules.
1242
01:12:39,021 --> 01:12:41,156
We are under the unified rules of boxing.
1243
01:12:41,190 --> 01:12:43,809
One variation
with the presiding New York Commission,
1244
01:12:43,842 --> 01:12:46,595
the ringside physician
can directly stop the fight
1245
01:12:46,628 --> 01:12:48,530
without going through the referee.
1246
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:55,187
And there is another superstar
from the UK.
1247
01:12:56,588 --> 01:13:00,676
Claressa Shields has fought 80 fights
as a pro and an amateur.
1248
01:13:00,709 --> 01:13:03,829
You are looking at the one in her 79.
1249
01:13:03,862 --> 01:13:08,317
And one, their rematch in the pros
was spectacular a few years back,
1250
01:13:08,350 --> 01:13:12,871
and it will be fascinating to see
how she bounces back from the time away.
1251
01:13:12,905 --> 01:13:15,758
Yes,
I'm excited to see her back. Savannah Ma--
1252
01:13:15,791 --> 01:13:20,963
Savannah's very skilled, you know,
the only fighter to defeat Claressa,
1253
01:13:20,996 --> 01:13:22,648
so it's going to be…
1254
01:13:33,375 --> 01:13:39,431
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
Inside the world's most famous arena,
1255
01:13:39,465 --> 01:13:45,487
Madison Square Garden
in New York City, USA.
1256
01:13:46,855 --> 01:13:50,075
As we continue
this historic all-women's card,
1257
01:13:50,109 --> 01:13:52,861
we now move
to the super middleweight Division,
1258
01:13:52,895 --> 01:13:55,781
scheduled for ten two-minute rounds,
1259
01:13:55,814 --> 01:14:02,571
and it is for the unified super
middleweight championships of the world.
1260
01:14:02,604 --> 01:14:06,442
Introducing first,
fighting out of the blue corner,
1261
01:14:06,475 --> 01:14:07,943
making her way to the ring,
1262
01:14:07,976 --> 01:14:13,715
please welcome, Savannah Marshall!
1263
01:14:17,386 --> 01:14:19,171
Well, we told you it's been two years
1264
01:14:19,204 --> 01:14:21,740
since Savannah Marshall
made this walk, and here's why.
1265
01:14:21,773 --> 01:14:23,792
Her climb to the top, it was meteoric.
1266
01:14:23,826 --> 01:14:25,894
Twelve straight wins,
ten of them by knockout,
1267
01:14:25,928 --> 01:14:27,863
which doesn't happen a lot
in the women's game.
1268
01:14:27,896 --> 01:14:30,883
But when she won
the undisputed middleweight championship,
1269
01:14:30,916 --> 01:14:33,619
the next day, she looked
at the collection of belts that she had,
1270
01:14:33,652 --> 01:14:35,487
an Alexander the Great moment.
1271
01:14:35,521 --> 01:14:39,358
Everything she'd been chasing,
she had, and suddenly felt empty.
1272
01:14:39,391 --> 01:14:43,061
Thirty years ago, Michael Jordan
started playing baseball as a hobby.
1273
01:14:43,095 --> 01:14:45,547
Well, Savannah Marshall went to MMA.
1274
01:14:45,581 --> 01:14:49,401
So, guys, as she has been telling us,
yeah, she's been away for two years,
1275
01:14:49,434 --> 01:14:52,821
but it's not like she was sitting
on the couch eating potato chips.
1276
01:14:52,855 --> 01:14:55,207
No, she's been away, but it's very early.
1277
01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:58,927
She's very young in her career
with only, you know, uh,
1278
01:14:59,661 --> 01:15:03,582
13 and one with ten knockouts,
so she still has so much more to prove.
1279
01:15:16,028 --> 01:15:21,567
And her opponent,
fighting out of the red corner,
1280
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:26,889
please welcome Shadasia Green!
1281
01:15:30,776 --> 01:15:32,311
The WBO champ.
1282
01:15:35,130 --> 01:15:38,116
And yeah, you could see her background,
that was a little different as well
1283
01:15:38,150 --> 01:15:42,538
because they say that life is what happens
when you're making other plans.
1284
01:15:42,571 --> 01:15:44,189
And 15 years ago,
1285
01:15:44,223 --> 01:15:46,758
{\an8}it seemed Shadasia Green's plans
were pretty well set.
1286
01:15:46,792 --> 01:15:49,678
{\an8}She was a high school basketball star
not very far from here,
1287
01:15:49,711 --> 01:15:50,896
about 25 miles away.
1288
01:15:50,929 --> 01:15:52,481
College recruiters coming in droves,
1289
01:15:52,514 --> 01:15:54,716
but funny thing happened
on her way to Old Dominion,
1290
01:15:54,750 --> 01:15:56,051
she found a new calling.
1291
01:15:56,084 --> 01:16:00,489
And soon it was her mother calling
the gym, every night,
1292
01:16:00,522 --> 01:16:03,091
to get her to come home,
but it was always, "One more round,
1293
01:16:03,125 --> 01:16:05,377
one more round."
Her mother made her a deal.
1294
01:16:05,410 --> 01:16:07,229
"Play four years of college,
get your degree."
1295
01:16:07,262 --> 01:16:09,131
"If you still want to fight,
you have my blessing."
1296
01:16:09,164 --> 01:16:12,267
Well, four years, a sweet sixteen later,
she returned home,
1297
01:16:12,301 --> 01:16:14,836
handed her mother the degree,
and went right back to the gym.
1298
01:16:14,870 --> 01:16:20,592
Guys, all those extra rounds have led
to 15 wins in 16 fights, a world title,
1299
01:16:20,626 --> 01:16:23,679
and now, a chance to show the world
she made the right choice.
1300
01:16:23,712 --> 01:16:26,965
Sometimes you find boxing,
and sometimes boxing finds you.
1301
01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:36,608

1334
01:18:57,432 --> 01:19:02,938

and Ring Magazine

she is the "Silent Assassin,"
1339
01:19:18,286 --> 01:19:24,910
Savannah Marshall!
1340
01:19:27,129 --> 01:19:29,614
Our referee in charge
when the bell rings once again,
1341
01:19:29,648 --> 01:19:31,116
Thomas Taylor.
1342
01:19:32,984 --> 01:19:36,271
Two seconds right here. Okay, real quick.
1343
01:19:36,888 --> 01:19:40,642
Coaches, boxers, anything on top
of the white and up here,
1344
01:19:40,675 --> 01:19:42,327
the top of the white letters,
1345
01:19:42,360 --> 01:19:44,596
right here at the knot
and up is gonna be good.
1346
01:19:44,629 --> 01:19:45,947
You got my instructions in the back.
1347
01:19:45,981 --> 01:19:47,949
Protect yourselves at all times
and listen to my commands.
1348
01:19:47,983 --> 01:19:49,317
Touch them up. Back out.
1349
01:19:55,757 --> 01:19:58,794
Savannah Marshall has headlined The O2.
1350
01:19:59,361 --> 01:20:02,013
She was excited
to fight at Madison Square Garden,
1351
01:20:02,047 --> 01:20:05,667
but not intimidated by it.
When you grow up 20 miles away,
1352
01:20:05,700 --> 01:20:09,971
it is a dream come true
to be in this spot, in this moment…
1353
01:20:10,856 --> 01:20:12,757
in this iconic building.
1354
01:20:17,679 --> 01:20:19,915
{\an8}Now, let's do the math
for you on the titles.
1355
01:20:19,948 --> 01:20:24,703
{\an8}Fred John Cruz deserved almost two
of the other three-fifths,
1356
01:20:25,370 --> 01:20:29,257
{\an8}if you will, of the world title at 168.
This is a unifier…
1357
01:20:31,293 --> 01:20:35,447
{\an8}on the way to what everybody hopes
will be ultimate unification…
1358
01:20:36,464 --> 01:20:39,050
{\an8}which we now have at bantamweight,
which we saw earlier tonight,
1359
01:20:39,084 --> 01:20:41,169
{\an8}and of course,
we will have in the main event,
1360
01:20:41,203 --> 01:20:42,521
{\an8}-Taylor vs. Serrano 3.
-Stop, stop, stop.
1361
01:20:46,975 --> 01:20:48,944
{\an8}Now, Andre you're… you're an MMA fan,
1362
01:20:48,977 --> 01:20:51,997
{\an8}you're an enthusiast, you studied it.
I've seen you do it.
1363
01:20:52,030 --> 01:20:53,181
{\an8}Footwork.
1364
01:20:53,215 --> 01:20:56,601
{\an8}Savannah Marshall, she had
to unlearn everything she had learned
1365
01:20:56,635 --> 01:20:58,420
{\an8}and then relearn it coming back.
1366
01:20:58,453 --> 01:21:00,505
{\an8}Yeah, that's tricky,
especially when you've been away
1367
01:21:00,539 --> 01:21:04,376
{\an8}from a boxing ring for two years,
but she's boxed for so long,
1368
01:21:04,409 --> 01:21:06,027
{\an8}you know,
it's riding that bike again,
1369
01:21:06,061 --> 01:21:09,231
{\an8}so it wasn't that hard,
but it can mess you up
1370
01:21:09,264 --> 01:21:12,300
{\an8}and not have you as sharp
as you maybe would be.
1371
01:21:16,037 --> 01:21:18,740
{\an8}Good distance here for Marshall
to launch that overhand right.
1372
01:21:18,773 --> 01:21:20,325
{\an8}-She's wasting no time.
-Oh.
1373
01:21:20,358 --> 01:21:22,811
{\an8}Ooh, that shot right there
might have got her attention.
1374
01:21:22,844 --> 01:21:23,795
{\an8}It did.
1375
01:21:24,579 --> 01:21:26,615
{\an8}Both looking for that overhand right…
1376
01:21:26,648 --> 01:21:28,917
{\an8}Shadasia Green, that's--
1377
01:21:28,950 --> 01:21:31,453
{\an8}one of her favorite punches
is that overhand right.
1378
01:21:35,574 --> 01:21:37,859
{\an8}Don't see in the women's game
a lot of fighters
1379
01:21:37,893 --> 01:21:39,828
{\an8}with 75 percent knockout rates.
1380
01:21:46,051 --> 01:21:47,402
{\an8}And Green reaching there a bit
1381
01:21:47,435 --> 01:21:49,671
{\an8}because Savannah Marshall
has that height advantage,
1382
01:21:49,704 --> 01:21:51,957
{\an8}so she has to double jab
to work her way in
1383
01:21:51,990 --> 01:21:53,925
{\an8}-and then throw the overhand right.
-I agree.
1384
01:21:53,959 --> 01:21:56,928
{\an8}Green needs to get that jab going.
She's just kind of looking and reaching.
1385
01:21:56,962 --> 01:22:01,249
{\an8}And for the longer-armed Marshall,
she's going to get touched with shots
1386
01:22:01,283 --> 01:22:02,834
{\an8}like she just got touched with.
1387
01:22:08,473 --> 01:22:10,358
Final ten of round one.
1388
01:22:20,051 --> 01:22:23,071
{\an8}Man, we thought we had good seats.
Here is the best seat in the house.
1389
01:22:23,104 --> 01:22:26,491
The MVP Owner's Experience
sold to TorkLaw.
1390
01:22:29,494 --> 01:22:32,030
How come we don't have that?
1391
01:22:32,063 --> 01:22:33,381
I like our seats.
1392
01:22:33,415 --> 01:22:35,667
…'cause she's trying to whip
that right hand over.
1393
01:22:35,700 --> 01:22:37,035
With a double jab
1394
01:22:37,068 --> 01:22:40,555
or a feint and a jab,
she can't do it or she'll do it too soon.
1395
01:22:40,588 --> 01:22:43,608
What we don't want is a single jab
where she can whip it over.
1396
01:22:43,642 --> 01:22:46,461
Keep timing that right hand
'cause you've got the timing already.
1397
01:22:46,494 --> 01:22:48,780
She's not gonna take them all night.
How you doing?
1398
01:22:48,813 --> 01:22:49,948
Feel good?
1399
01:22:55,270 --> 01:23:01,042
Yeah? You're the better fighter.
Nice and calm, confident, focus.
1400
01:23:01,076 --> 01:23:03,762
Lots of feints, no single jab.
1401
01:23:03,795 --> 01:23:06,197
A feint and a jab or a double jab, yeah?
1402
01:23:07,749 --> 01:23:10,218
That instruction--
The no single jab instruction
1403
01:23:10,251 --> 01:23:11,286
coming from Jon Pegg,
1404
01:23:11,319 --> 01:23:13,121
Peter Fury is normally the trainer…
1405
01:23:13,154 --> 01:23:15,056
…for Savannah Marshall.
He is not here.
1406
01:23:15,690 --> 01:23:18,410
{\an8}Savannah Marshall spent
a ton of time in the Fury gym.
1407
01:23:20,412 --> 01:23:23,732
{\an8}And you can definitely
see it by Marshall's movement
1408
01:23:23,765 --> 01:23:27,252
{\an8}and just her rhythm. It's just like Tyson.
1409
01:23:28,620 --> 01:23:29,721
{\an8}Tyson Fury.
1410
01:23:29,754 --> 01:23:31,823
{\an8}Yeah, it looks awkward,
but it works for them.
1411
01:23:31,856 --> 01:23:35,960
{\an8}And it may be a little awkward,
but it's also awkward for the opponent.
1412
01:23:35,994 --> 01:23:39,964
{\an8}It's hard for them 'cause it's off rhythm.
So, it's hard to get adjusted to that.
1413
01:23:39,998 --> 01:23:41,232
{\an8}Right, it keeps you thinking.
1414
01:23:41,266 --> 01:23:44,302
{\an8}That's why Green has to use
her double jab to get inside
1415
01:23:44,335 --> 01:23:46,071
{\an8}and use up her body movement, too.
1416
01:23:46,104 --> 01:23:47,422
{\an8}Yeah, the feints-- yes.
1417
01:23:47,455 --> 01:23:49,224
{\an8}To get past Marshall's long jab.
1418
01:23:49,257 --> 01:23:50,308
{\an8}That's right.
1419
01:24:00,118 --> 01:24:02,587
{\an8}Savannah Marshall looking
for the opportunity to get inside.
1420
01:24:02,620 --> 01:24:04,672
{\an8}Andre, you were right.
She took that one in the first round.
1421
01:24:04,706 --> 01:24:07,842
{\an8}That made her think, "Okay,
I've tasted this power a little bit."
1422
01:24:07,876 --> 01:24:10,512
{\an8}-Let me be a little more careful.
-Yeah, she's tightened things up.
1423
01:24:10,545 --> 01:24:12,614
{\an8}Not quite as aggressive as she was.
1424
01:24:12,647 --> 01:24:14,432
{\an8}And again, sometimes
you need that reminder.
1425
01:24:14,466 --> 01:24:16,768
{\an8}Good fighters will get hit with one shot
and make that adjustment.
1426
01:24:16,801 --> 01:24:17,852
{\an8}Wait. Stop, stop. Stop.
1427
01:24:17,886 --> 01:24:20,088
{\an8}Shadasia Green went into the boxing gym,
1428
01:24:20,121 --> 01:24:22,240
{\an8}and that story I told you,
it's because her basketball coach
1429
01:24:22,273 --> 01:24:23,992
{\an8}wanted her to work on her footwork
1430
01:24:24,025 --> 01:24:26,010
{\an8}and basically gave her two choices,
and she said,
1431
01:24:26,044 --> 01:24:27,062
{\an8}"I didn't want to run track.
1432
01:24:27,095 --> 01:24:28,930
{\an8}I didn't want to run all those miles.
1433
01:24:28,963 --> 01:24:32,317
{\an8}So, she chose the boxing gym instead
and never left it.
1434
01:24:32,350 --> 01:24:35,954
{\an8}Still a lot of miles to be ran
as a boxer as well though.
1435
01:24:36,821 --> 01:24:40,308
{\an8}Ooh, I mean, just missed that right hand.
1436
01:24:40,341 --> 01:24:43,728
{\an8}If she can step in more
and be more committed with the jab
1437
01:24:43,762 --> 01:24:46,815
{\an8}that you see right there,
but don't do it from the outside,
1438
01:24:46,848 --> 01:24:49,868
{\an8}But step in and then throw the right hand,
she'll have success.
1439
01:24:49,901 --> 01:24:51,619
{\an8}Right, also throwing the right hand,
1440
01:24:51,653 --> 01:24:54,606
{\an8}the straight right hand to the body
because, Savannah Marshall,
1441
01:24:54,639 --> 01:24:58,860
{\an8}that'll cause her to fold a little bit
and… and um, drop her hands,
1442
01:24:58,893 --> 01:25:01,062
{\an8}then she can come over the top
with that overhand right.
1443
01:25:01,096 --> 01:25:02,197
{\an8}Let it go.
1444
01:25:03,715 --> 01:25:04,749
{\an8}Stop, stop.
1445
01:25:06,267 --> 01:25:07,285
Time.
1446
01:25:07,819 --> 01:25:09,487
-Uh-oh.
-This is it. This is it.
1447
01:25:09,521 --> 01:25:11,389
Every time I say let go,
you're not letting go.
1448
01:25:11,422 --> 01:25:13,124
Got to watch that holding, all right?
Understand?
1449
01:25:13,158 --> 01:25:14,225
-Yeah.
-All right.
1450
01:25:14,259 --> 01:25:15,343
Time in.
1451
01:25:16,311 --> 01:25:19,747
That had to look immediately
of, you know, "license and registration."
1452
01:25:19,781 --> 01:25:21,549
You know you're in trouble.
1453
01:25:21,583 --> 01:25:22,634
Third two.
1454
01:25:27,372 --> 01:25:31,659
{\an8}There is Christopher McDonald,
known to the world as Shooter McGavin.
1455
01:25:31,693 --> 01:25:34,362
{\an8}Two weeks from today,
Happy Gilmoreand Shooter are back
1456
01:25:34,395 --> 01:25:36,381
{\an8}for the most anticipated comedy
of the year,
1457
01:25:36,414 --> 01:25:41,920
{\an8}Happy Gilmore 2,coming exclusively
to Netflix July, 25th.
1458
01:25:42,804 --> 01:25:48,159
And we had Serrano vs. Taylor 3,
we need Shooter McGavin,Happy Gilmore 2.
1459
01:25:57,502 --> 01:26:00,171
Don't let her move too fast
if you want to move. All right?
1460
01:26:00,205 --> 01:26:01,306
-Okay.
-All right?
1461
01:26:01,339 --> 01:26:03,374
-That's how she wants to play.
-Right.
1462
01:26:03,408 --> 01:26:05,093
-We ain't doing that shit.
-Right.
1463
01:26:05,126 --> 01:26:06,327
-You understand?
-Yes, sir.
1464
01:26:06,361 --> 01:26:07,395
Use your skills.
1465
01:26:07,428 --> 01:26:10,165
Go, show her colors
she ain't never seen before.
1466
01:26:10,198 --> 01:26:12,433
You saw her colors. You understand?
1467
01:26:12,467 --> 01:26:14,219
You know everything she's gonna do.
1468
01:26:17,772 --> 01:26:19,908
You saw those sunglasses on Barry Porter
1469
01:26:19,941 --> 01:26:22,277
giving the instructions to Shadasia Green.
1470
01:26:22,310 --> 01:26:25,496
{\an8}When Shadasia Green went into the gym
to see Barry Porter, the first time,
1471
01:26:25,530 --> 01:26:27,765
{\an8}he did that bit
where he didn't take the sunglasses off
1472
01:26:27,799 --> 01:26:29,767
{\an8}just to see how committed she really was.
1473
01:26:29,801 --> 01:26:31,853
{\an8}And she kept talking
to him and talking to him,
1474
01:26:31,886 --> 01:26:35,490
{\an8}and he wouldn't take the sunglasses off
and eventually said, "All right."
1475
01:26:36,457 --> 01:26:39,143
{\an8}"I believe in her commitment."
And it has paid off.
1476
01:26:41,262 --> 01:26:44,098
{\an8}All right, accidental headbutt, no cut.
Watch yourselves.
1477
01:26:44,132 --> 01:26:45,767
{\an8}Got some blood.
1478
01:26:46,601 --> 01:26:48,269
{\an8}From a head clash.
1479
01:26:48,303 --> 01:26:50,972
{\an8}Redness in the forehead
of Savannah Marshall.
1480
01:26:59,380 --> 01:27:01,783
{\an8}Marshall's been just a little bit quicker.
1481
01:27:03,835 --> 01:27:06,070
{\an8}Green finally landed that right hand,
1482
01:27:06,104 --> 01:27:07,522
{\an8}but it's not because she stepped in,
1483
01:27:07,555 --> 01:27:11,976
{\an8}it's because Marshall came in
and Green met Marshall halfway there,
1484
01:27:12,010 --> 01:27:13,745
{\an8}but she needs to step in.
1485
01:27:14,429 --> 01:27:17,382
{\an8}I think this theme tonight
for all the ladies and all the fights,
1486
01:27:17,415 --> 01:27:19,717
{\an8}"You gotta believe in yourself
on this big stage,
1487
01:27:19,751 --> 01:27:22,487
{\an8}and you gotta work smarter, not harder."
1488
01:27:25,223 --> 01:27:27,275
{\an8}And that includes the main event as well.
1489
01:27:28,693 --> 01:27:30,545
{\an8}You both have been in huge fights.
1490
01:27:30,578 --> 01:27:34,265
{\an8}At what point is it no longer
that you have ramps and entrances
1491
01:27:34,299 --> 01:27:37,201
{\an8}and all this other stuff
and ancillary fight week stuff?
1492
01:27:37,235 --> 01:27:38,987
{\an8}When does it just become the fight?
1493
01:27:40,071 --> 01:27:43,524
{\an8}Well, for me personally,
you've got to manage that each fight.
1494
01:27:43,558 --> 01:27:45,193
{\an8}Each fight is different.
Each camp is different.
1495
01:27:45,226 --> 01:27:47,512
{\an8}You can't say, I've done this ten times,
so this is going to be a breeze.
1496
01:27:47,545 --> 01:27:48,913
{\an8}You've got to manage that all the way
1497
01:27:48,947 --> 01:27:50,965
{\an8}up until you get in the ring
because if you're not careful,
1498
01:27:50,999 --> 01:27:53,067
{\an8}you can walk in a big arena like this,
1499
01:27:53,101 --> 01:27:56,254
{\an8}and you can become a spectator
to your own event, and you can freeze.
1500
01:27:56,287 --> 01:27:58,840
{\an8}It doesn't mean you won't throw punches,
but you won't perform well.
1501
01:27:58,873 --> 01:28:02,410
{\an8}So, for me, I had to take that mental rep
every single time out.
1502
01:28:03,177 --> 01:28:05,763
{\an8}Exactly, and just sticking
to the game plan no matter what,
1503
01:28:05,797 --> 01:28:09,167
{\an8}sticking to your style no matter
what opponent is in front of you
1504
01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:11,552
{\an8}'cause you're gonna fight
many different styles.
1505
01:28:12,253 --> 01:28:15,923
{\an8}Savannah Marshall sticking
to her style despite two years away
1506
01:28:21,312 --> 01:28:22,530
-Time!
-Good shot.
1507
01:28:33,291 --> 01:28:34,609
And slow it down.
1508
01:28:35,410 --> 01:28:37,645
We don't want to rush, chasing.
1509
01:28:37,679 --> 01:28:41,332
What we want to do is keep our shape,
use our feints,
1510
01:28:41,366 --> 01:28:43,735
and throw correct shots, yeah?
1511
01:28:44,268 --> 01:28:46,354
You're noticing that she's trying
to grab when--
1512
01:28:46,387 --> 01:28:47,705
I delivered the warning
for holding once again.
1513
01:28:47,739 --> 01:28:49,123
My mind-- I'm being very short,
1514
01:28:49,157 --> 01:28:51,409
but do me a favor, just watch your head.
I'll take care of business.
1515
01:28:51,442 --> 01:28:52,610
-Don't worry about it.
-Thank you.
1516
01:28:52,643 --> 01:28:54,896
Right, the way
to force her to hold
1517
01:28:54,929 --> 01:28:59,350
is to keep feinting and throw fast,
slug shots so she has to grab, yeah?
1518
01:28:59,384 --> 01:29:02,537
When she starts to get ragged,
then we put the bigger shots in.
1519
01:29:03,121 --> 01:29:05,289
Big breath for me. Let's have a drink.
1520
01:29:08,960 --> 01:29:11,162
You're in front, yeah?
1521
01:29:11,195 --> 01:29:14,332
But we've got to put our stamp on it.
But you're in front.
1522
01:29:21,756 --> 01:29:23,441
{\an8}Savannah Marshall's first fight.
1523
01:29:23,474 --> 01:29:25,209
{\an8}Her pro debut was on the undercard
1524
01:29:25,243 --> 01:29:28,363
{\an8}of Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor
in 2017.
1525
01:29:28,396 --> 01:29:30,765
{\an8}She was all excited for it
and got out there
1526
01:29:30,798 --> 01:29:34,202
{\an8}and was fighting so early in the night
there was nobody in the crowd.
1527
01:29:34,802 --> 01:29:36,988
{\an8}Far cry from eight years ago.
1528
01:29:41,692 --> 01:29:45,213
{\an8}Green isn't confident
on the outside right there.
1529
01:29:45,246 --> 01:29:46,330
{\an8}She's a little hesitant.
1530
01:29:46,364 --> 01:29:49,550
{\an8}She has a little bit more confidence
when she's closer to Savannah Marshall.
1531
01:29:49,584 --> 01:29:50,668
{\an8}She feels safer.
1532
01:29:50,701 --> 01:29:53,554
{\an8}But she's got to trust herself
right there, right in those moments,
1533
01:29:53,588 --> 01:29:56,441
{\an8}because she has a beautiful right hand,
has got power on it,
1534
01:29:56,474 --> 01:29:58,726
{\an8}and it could change
the course of this fight.
1535
01:29:58,760 --> 01:30:01,496
{\an8}When you see those numbers,
that is a low-- if you're new to boxing,
1536
01:30:01,529 --> 01:30:05,083
{\an8}that is a very low percentage
of connecting on punches.
1537
01:30:05,116 --> 01:30:07,235
{\an8}Punches landed versus punches thrown.
1538
01:30:07,268 --> 01:30:09,470
{\an8}That tells you
they're throwing bigger shots.
1539
01:30:10,405 --> 01:30:13,775
{\an8}Green, let her go.
Green, gotta let her go.
1540
01:30:13,808 --> 01:30:17,111
{\an8}Stop, stop. Time. Get over there.
1541
01:30:17,145 --> 01:30:18,062
{\an8}Uh-oh.
1542
01:30:18,096 --> 01:30:19,747
{\an8}-You're forcing my hand.
-Yeah, "uh-oh" is right.
1543
01:30:19,781 --> 01:30:22,383
{\an8}You're forcing my hand.
One point, holding.
1544
01:30:22,417 --> 01:30:25,169
{\an8}One point, holding. One point, holding.
1545
01:30:25,203 --> 01:30:27,021
{\an8}How many times do I got to tell you?
1546
01:30:27,054 --> 01:30:28,906
{\an8}Seriously.
How many times do I got to tell you?
1547
01:30:28,940 --> 01:30:30,975
{\an8}Back up. Time in!
1548
01:30:34,612 --> 01:30:36,214
{\an8}Stop, stop, stop.
1549
01:30:36,247 --> 01:30:39,684
{\an8}The referee Thomas Taylor
does not like holding,
1550
01:30:39,717 --> 01:30:42,920
{\an8}he loves to see clean fighting
from the outside, so…
1551
01:30:43,938 --> 01:30:45,656
{\an8}But I'm not sure
that was excessive, though.
1552
01:30:45,690 --> 01:30:47,425
{\an8}-You know, clinching is a part of boxing.
-Yeah.
1553
01:30:47,458 --> 01:30:49,143
{\an8}-It's gonna happen, like…
-I agree.
1554
01:30:49,177 --> 01:30:51,913
{\an8}I'm not sure
that warranted a point deduction.
1555
01:30:51,946 --> 01:30:54,749
{\an8}Take a point or not,
we defer to Sean Wheelock.
1556
01:30:54,782 --> 01:30:56,234
{\an8}Andre, to your point, though,
1557
01:30:56,267 --> 01:30:59,403
{\an8}Tom Taylor in round two
gave Shadasia Green,
1558
01:30:59,437 --> 01:31:01,639
{\an8}what's called in referee speak
a hard warning.
1559
01:31:01,672 --> 01:31:03,007
{\an8}It's persistent infringement.
1560
01:31:03,040 --> 01:31:05,326
{\an8}It's the same foul over and over again
1561
01:31:05,359 --> 01:31:07,612
{\an8}that eventually leads
to a point deduction.
1562
01:31:07,645 --> 01:31:10,398
{\an8}Shadasia Green knew
that the next time she held,
1563
01:31:10,431 --> 01:31:11,582
{\an8}she was going to lose a point,
1564
01:31:11,616 --> 01:31:13,951
{\an8}and that's exactly
what has happened here in round four.
1565
01:31:13,985 --> 01:31:15,269
{\an8}Yeah, I understand that,
1566
01:31:15,303 --> 01:31:17,922
{\an8}but if you get a hard warning
in a second round,
1567
01:31:17,955 --> 01:31:21,476
{\an8}that seems a little odd to me.
I don't think she was holding that much.
1568
01:31:21,509 --> 01:31:23,344
{\an8}I agree, and especially
with the height difference
1569
01:31:23,377 --> 01:31:28,449
{\an8}and her trying to get off of the ropes,
sometimes clinching is okay.
1570
01:31:29,033 --> 01:31:31,269
-Ooh.
-Best shot of the fight.
1571
01:31:31,802 --> 01:31:34,238
And a smile
on the face of Savannah Marshall
1572
01:31:34,272 --> 01:31:35,490
at the end of round four.
1573
01:31:53,274 --> 01:31:55,159
We heard from Nakisa earlier.
1574
01:31:55,760 --> 01:31:58,679
The man to his right,
one of the most recognizable faces now
1575
01:31:58,713 --> 01:32:02,517
in the world,
and we will hear from Jake Paul shortly.
1576
01:32:03,968 --> 01:32:06,521
You know you got good seats
when you don't even have
1577
01:32:06,554 --> 01:32:07,872
the fancy owner's box.
1578
01:32:08,556 --> 01:32:10,892
It is an extraordinary thing
they have done,
1579
01:32:10,925 --> 01:32:12,243
putting this event together.
1580
01:32:13,811 --> 01:32:15,313
You gotta be a GOAT this round.
1581
01:32:15,346 --> 01:32:19,283
Let it go! Go out there and let it go.
You're letting it go!
1582
01:32:19,317 --> 01:32:21,352
You're letting this bitch
drop their balls on you.
1583
01:32:21,385 --> 01:32:24,438
I don't want this bitch to get brave.
You hear me? Take it to her!
1584
01:32:24,472 --> 01:32:26,190
Take it to her! Push her!
1585
01:32:26,224 --> 01:32:27,942
Whatever you gotta do to win the round.
1586
01:32:27,975 --> 01:32:29,827
You heard me?
1587
01:32:29,860 --> 01:32:32,813
Don't be careless.
Keep your hands up, be first.
1588
01:32:36,150 --> 01:32:38,903
And we see that beautiful overhand right
1589
01:32:38,936 --> 01:32:41,138
{\an8}by Savannah Marshall
at the end of the round.
1590
01:32:41,956 --> 01:32:44,725
{\an8}A lot of you may be familiar
with the Taylor vs. Serrano fights
1591
01:32:44,759 --> 01:32:47,194
{\an8}and aren't necessarily
full-time boxing fans,
1592
01:32:47,228 --> 01:32:48,329
{\an8}so you may remember
1593
01:32:48,362 --> 01:32:51,165
{\an8}from the second fight
when the point got deducted
1594
01:32:51,198 --> 01:32:55,419
{\an8}from Katie Taylor,
the event in and of itself wasn't overt,
1595
01:32:55,453 --> 01:32:58,072
{\an8}but it had been a series of warnings
that led up to it
1596
01:32:58,105 --> 01:33:01,058
{\an8}that led to the point deduction
from Jon Schorle that night.
1597
01:33:12,286 --> 01:33:15,189
{\an8}The action and the conversation
have picked up here.
1598
01:33:16,507 --> 01:33:19,961
{\an8}And now we see
Marshall holding on and clinching.
1599
01:33:23,464 --> 01:33:25,633
{\an8}And they love it at the Garden.
1600
01:33:27,485 --> 01:33:29,370
{\an8}Green's got to give herself some space.
1601
01:33:29,403 --> 01:33:30,921
{\an8}Don't smother your work.
1602
01:33:30,955 --> 01:33:34,425
{\an8}Step back and try to get that
right hand off again.
1603
01:33:36,410 --> 01:33:38,879
{\an8}Exactly. Both have the power
to knock each other out,
1604
01:33:38,913 --> 01:33:40,598
{\an8}so they have to be very cautious.
1605
01:33:41,465 --> 01:33:44,001
{\an8}Green tried it right there, but missed.
1606
01:33:44,035 --> 01:33:46,921
{\an8}It doesn't look like
caution is high on their list right now.
1607
01:33:46,954 --> 01:33:48,823
{\an8}Marshall's a veteran,
so even though she's hurt,
1608
01:33:48,856 --> 01:33:50,491
{\an8}she's still weathering the storm
1609
01:33:50,524 --> 01:33:52,293
{\an8}and landed her own
right hand right there.
1610
01:33:52,326 --> 01:33:54,829
{\an8}She's not going to fold
just because she gets hurt.
1611
01:33:57,915 --> 01:34:01,919
{\an8}Ten rounds with Claressa Shields,
not to mention the win in the amateurs.
1612
01:34:01,952 --> 01:34:03,504
{\an8}She's going to be tough to finish.
1613
01:34:03,537 --> 01:34:05,840
{\an8}Yeah, she's been around a little while.
1614
01:34:08,759 --> 01:34:10,544
{\an8}If you're Green,
you gotta take a deep breath,
1615
01:34:10,578 --> 01:34:14,181
{\an8}and you gotta try to set that up again,
just like she did right there.
1616
01:34:16,217 --> 01:34:17,335
{\an8}Stop, stop, stop.
1617
01:34:17,368 --> 01:34:19,787
{\an8}Twenty seconds left in this round.
1618
01:34:19,820 --> 01:34:23,207
{\an8}And go back down to the body
when you land a power shot like that,
1619
01:34:23,240 --> 01:34:25,760
{\an8}especially when you have
your opponent on the ropes.
1620
01:34:27,662 --> 01:34:29,830
{\an8}Shadasia Green
trying to tee up one big shot,
1621
01:34:29,864 --> 01:34:32,516
but she looks tired here
at the end of the round.
1622
01:34:34,502 --> 01:34:35,870
Ooh.
1623
01:34:35,903 --> 01:34:38,589
A New York street fight, two-five.
1624
01:34:52,953 --> 01:34:54,588
Yeah, yeah, no problem.
1625
01:34:54,622 --> 01:34:56,874
Right, now, listen,
deep breaths, deep breaths.
1626
01:34:59,193 --> 01:35:02,246
-How you feeling? You okay?
-Have a drink.
1627
01:35:02,279 --> 01:35:05,132
Savannah, she's gonna come out
throwing the kitchen sink, yeah?
1628
01:35:05,166 --> 01:35:07,001
Shadasia Green needed a big moment,
1629
01:35:07,034 --> 01:35:08,836
and here she goes right there.
1630
01:35:08,869 --> 01:35:10,805
That right hand
may not have seemed like much,
1631
01:35:10,838 --> 01:35:13,591
but it landed on the back of the ear
of Savannah Marshall,
1632
01:35:13,624 --> 01:35:15,860
and she got
the reaction she was looking for.
1633
01:35:15,893 --> 01:35:19,747
The rest of that round, she was trying
to get another good shot through
1634
01:35:19,780 --> 01:35:23,484
to try to knock Savannah Marshall down
or possibly knock her out.
1635
01:35:23,517 --> 01:35:25,636
She landed a good shot right there,
1636
01:35:25,669 --> 01:35:27,638
but Marshall was saved by the bell…
1637
01:35:27,671 --> 01:35:31,409
…and was able to get this
60 seconds of recovery.
1638
01:35:31,442 --> 01:35:32,643
Let's see what happens now.
1639
01:35:32,676 --> 01:35:35,045
Tell me about the back of the ear,
your equilibrium, right?
1640
01:35:35,079 --> 01:35:36,280
That can mess with it.
1641
01:35:36,313 --> 01:35:37,665
Your head can be clear,
1642
01:35:37,698 --> 01:35:39,950
but your legs can be
singing a different song.
1643
01:35:45,539 --> 01:35:49,477
A big round for Shadasia Green.
Her best of the fight easily.
1644
01:35:54,498 --> 01:35:55,966
{\an8}And the left got through.
1645
01:35:57,251 --> 01:35:58,502
{\an8}Left hook by Green.
1646
01:35:58,536 --> 01:36:00,788
{\an8}Savannah Marshall
expecting those overhand rights
1647
01:36:00,821 --> 01:36:03,274
{\an8}while Shadasia comes with that quick left.
1648
01:36:03,307 --> 01:36:06,627
{\an8}Listen, I think Shadasia Green
has a moment right now.
1649
01:36:06,660 --> 01:36:07,678
{\an8}Savannah Marshall is tough.
1650
01:36:07,711 --> 01:36:09,864
{\an8}She's going to weather the storm,
but she's reacting
1651
01:36:09,897 --> 01:36:14,769
{\an8}to every big shot that Green lands.
Green needs to seize this moment right now
1652
01:36:14,802 --> 01:36:17,221
{\an8}before Savannah Marshall
catches her second wind.
1653
01:36:18,589 --> 01:36:22,443
{\an8}This was the fight so many people
thought could steal the show.
1654
01:36:22,476 --> 01:36:24,094
{\an8}They may end up right.
1655
01:36:25,262 --> 01:36:26,630
{\an8}Oh, Sadesha Green.
1656
01:36:27,398 --> 01:36:30,501
{\an8}And it seems like Green
has got into a little bit of a rhythm.
1657
01:36:30,534 --> 01:36:32,119
{\an8}-Yes, she did.
-She's feeling confident.
1658
01:36:32,153 --> 01:36:33,788
{\an8}Pumping that left jab.
1659
01:36:33,821 --> 01:36:36,307
{\an8}Body language is totally different now.
1660
01:36:41,729 --> 01:36:43,430
{\an8}You're Marshall,
you gotta get back on your jab.
1661
01:36:43,464 --> 01:36:44,949
{\an8}You got to shake yourself
1662
01:36:44,982 --> 01:36:47,651
{\an8}and get those punches moving
and get out of harm's way,
1663
01:36:47,685 --> 01:36:50,037
{\an8}'cause she's standing right
in the line of fire.
1664
01:36:51,222 --> 01:36:54,024
{\an8}It felt like Savannah Marshall
had built up a pretty good lead
1665
01:36:54,058 --> 01:36:55,142
{\an8}through four rounds.
1666
01:36:55,793 --> 01:36:58,195
{\an8}And don't forget
you got the point deduction too.
1667
01:36:59,430 --> 01:37:03,851
{\an8}This has been Shadasia Green's
last four or five minutes easily.
1668
01:37:03,884 --> 01:37:06,537
{\an8}Which is why
that point deduction was a bit too early
1669
01:37:06,570 --> 01:37:08,539
{\an8}because we see clinching
from both fighters,
1670
01:37:08,572 --> 01:37:10,191
{\an8}but it's just part of the game plan,
1671
01:37:10,224 --> 01:37:13,260
{\an8}part of both of their styles
in this fight.
1672
01:37:13,861 --> 01:37:16,680
{\an8}Ooh! Good short left hook
from Shadasia Green.
1673
01:37:16,714 --> 01:37:18,883
{\an8}Let it go, let it go. All right, stop.
1674
01:37:19,450 --> 01:37:21,135
{\an8}I don't know
if this is the layoff for Marshall,
1675
01:37:21,168 --> 01:37:22,770
{\an8}I don't know
if it's just the work from Green,
1676
01:37:22,803 --> 01:37:24,421
{\an8}I don't know if it's the punches
that have landed,
1677
01:37:24,455 --> 01:37:28,058
{\an8}but she's not looking the way she did
in the first three or four rounds.
1678
01:37:30,594 --> 01:37:32,630
She was throwing big shots,
Savannah Marshall was.
1679
01:37:32,663 --> 01:37:34,849
She was smiling,
she was enjoying the brawl.
1680
01:37:34,882 --> 01:37:37,017
She's not smiling anymore.
1681
01:37:37,051 --> 01:37:40,504
And Shadasia Green
is talking to her as she flicks that jab.
1682
01:37:44,792 --> 01:37:47,661
We all know where we're headed.
1683
01:37:47,695 --> 01:37:50,447
Saw the arrival earlier of Katie Taylor,
1684
01:37:50,481 --> 01:37:53,117
and the last time
she walked into this building
1685
01:37:53,150 --> 01:37:55,469
{\an8}in Madison Square Garden three years ago.
1686
01:37:56,353 --> 01:37:59,657
{\an8}And a lifelong career
of changing the game.
1687
01:38:00,291 --> 01:38:02,326
{\an8}She and Amanda Serrano changed it.
1688
01:38:05,696 --> 01:38:09,250
And on the other side, the big smile.
1689
01:38:11,035 --> 01:38:13,671
{\an8}From the pride of Brooklyn,
the pride of Puerto Rico,
1690
01:38:13,704 --> 01:38:16,457
{\an8}and as you can imagine,
you don't need me to tell you,
1691
01:38:16,490 --> 01:38:18,759
{\an8}that's what's on the jumbotron right now.
1692
01:38:19,960 --> 01:38:21,812
{\an8}And the Madison Square Garden crowd,
1693
01:38:21,845 --> 01:38:25,249
just a preview
of what you're going to get about an hour,
1694
01:38:25,282 --> 01:38:27,768
hour and a half from now.
1695
01:38:34,608 --> 01:38:36,510
Savannah Marshall may have built the lead
1696
01:38:36,543 --> 01:38:38,545
{\an8}…but now she has to shake the cobwebs
1697
01:38:38,579 --> 01:38:40,030
{\an8}and there is work to do.
1698
01:38:43,667 --> 01:38:45,102
{\an8}This is what these unifications
1699
01:38:45,135 --> 01:38:47,454
{\an8}and, you know,
undisputed matchups are about.
1700
01:38:47,488 --> 01:38:48,739
{\an8}We're going back and forth.
1701
01:38:48,772 --> 01:38:52,259
{\an8}It's not about one person dominating,
it's ebbs and flows.
1702
01:38:52,293 --> 01:38:54,645
{\an8}Who's making the right adjustment
at the right time,
1703
01:38:54,678 --> 01:38:58,098
{\an8}who's got that bite down at the right time
to get their hand raised.
1704
01:38:58,132 --> 01:39:01,135
{\an8}We still don't know in this fight
who that's gonna be.
1705
01:39:01,168 --> 01:39:03,621
{\an8}Right, and we've seen
some good adjustments from Green,
1706
01:39:03,654 --> 01:39:07,308
{\an8}and let's see if Savannah Marshall
can make some adjustments as well.
1707
01:39:08,158 --> 01:39:12,513
{\an8}But as you said, that's what makes
championship fights at this level so good
1708
01:39:12,546 --> 01:39:16,083
{\an8}is that we can see these adjustments
that these ladies are making.
1709
01:39:16,116 --> 01:39:18,602
{\an8}And this is what makes
a fight like these so special,
1710
01:39:18,636 --> 01:39:20,337
{\an8}when you have
the elite fighters in the world,
1711
01:39:20,371 --> 01:39:23,741
{\an8}and you have a fight as even
as the stats say this one is.
1712
01:39:27,695 --> 01:39:30,948
{\an8}-Good jab from Marshall.
-That was a very good jab.
1713
01:39:32,433 --> 01:39:34,551
{\an8}That feels so disrespectful
at this stage in a fight,
1714
01:39:34,585 --> 01:39:35,436
{\an8}when you're fatigued.
1715
01:39:35,469 --> 01:39:38,172
{\an8}It's almost like, "Really?
You gonna hit me with that."
1716
01:39:39,023 --> 01:39:40,174
{\an8}Stop, stop.
1717
01:39:43,961 --> 01:39:46,847
{\an8}We said, the issue with Marshall
with the layoff wasn't the conditioning,
1718
01:39:46,880 --> 01:39:48,649
{\an8}it was the footwork.
1719
01:39:48,682 --> 01:39:50,684
{\an8}That's what the camp talked a lot about.
1720
01:39:50,718 --> 01:39:52,136
{\an8}Big overhand right missed.
1721
01:39:53,854 --> 01:39:56,857
{\an8}You know, squaring up
and falling over her front foot
1722
01:39:56,890 --> 01:40:00,961
{\an8}is what's making it easier for Green
to land those power shots.
1723
01:40:01,478 --> 01:40:04,098
{\an8}Andre] Is that a thing, too?
You can't spin the opponent off of you?
1724
01:40:04,131 --> 01:40:06,684
{\an8}Apparently not when
Thomas Taylor is referee.
1725
01:40:08,435 --> 01:40:10,771
{\an8}So, if I clinch on the inside,
it's a problem.
1726
01:40:10,804 --> 01:40:14,658
{\an8}But if I get her off of me
so I don't clinch, that's a problem, too?
1727
01:40:23,050 --> 01:40:25,202
{\an8}Shadasia Green
has just been a different fighter
1728
01:40:25,235 --> 01:40:28,255
{\an8}in the last three rounds.
And major finding holes.
1729
01:40:34,395 --> 01:40:37,748
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
1730
01:40:42,403 --> 01:40:46,557
{\an8}On August 6th,
the hit Netflix hit series,Wednesday,
1731
01:40:46,590 --> 01:40:48,158
{\an8}returns for season two.
1732
01:40:48,192 --> 01:40:50,844
{\an8}Wednesday Adams returns
to prowl the gothic halls
1733
01:40:50,878 --> 01:40:52,329
{\an8}of Nevermore Academy.
1734
01:40:52,362 --> 01:40:55,666
{\an8}She's already wreaked a bunch of havoc.
Fresh foes and woes await.
1735
01:40:55,699 --> 01:40:58,085
{\an8}This season, Wednesday
must navigate family, friends,
1736
01:40:58,118 --> 01:41:01,872
{\an8}and old adversaries in more
delightfully dark and kooky mayhem.
1737
01:41:01,905 --> 01:41:04,508
{\an8}Is there any other kind
for visionary Tim Burton?
1738
01:41:05,059 --> 01:41:09,496
{\an8}Wednesdayseason two stars Jenna Ortega,
Luis Guzmán, Catherine Zeta-Jones,
1739
01:41:09,530 --> 01:41:11,932
{\an8}Steve Buscemi,
Christopher Lloyd, and more.
1740
01:41:11,965 --> 01:41:16,503
{\an8}Luis Guzmán, a fixture,
a fixture here at the Garden.
1741
01:41:16,537 --> 01:41:18,672
{\an8}Knicks games, big fights.
1742
01:41:19,256 --> 01:41:22,559
And he has picked
the right night to be here.
1743
01:41:27,264 --> 01:41:29,083
Go and get her. Come on,
don't be shock-faced.
1744
01:41:29,116 --> 01:41:31,418
Sharp, right now! Sharp! Think sharp!
1745
01:41:32,553 --> 01:41:36,023
And the urgency now you can feel
in the corner of Savannah Marshall
1746
01:41:36,056 --> 01:41:37,524
because this fight
has turned dramatically.
1747
01:41:41,261 --> 01:41:43,213
{\an8}And not only is Green landing power shots,
1748
01:41:43,247 --> 01:41:46,984
{\an8}but in that last round she landed
these quick counter punches as well.
1749
01:41:49,486 --> 01:41:50,737
{\an8}And that's straight right hand
to the body,
1750
01:41:50,771 --> 01:41:52,439
{\an8}what I was talking about earlier.
1751
01:41:52,473 --> 01:41:55,375
{\an8}Green had just thrown that right now.
1752
01:41:56,627 --> 01:42:01,982
{\an8}And Sean Wellock's unofficial card.
Remember he had Savannah Marshall up
1753
01:42:02,800 --> 01:42:06,453
{\an8}by three points earlier in the fight
because that ten-eight round four.
1754
01:42:06,487 --> 01:42:08,589
{\an8}Marshall's gotta shake herself now.
1755
01:42:09,189 --> 01:42:10,707
{\an8}She's gotta wake up right now.
1756
01:42:15,095 --> 01:42:16,747
{\an8}See her falling over her feet.
1757
01:42:17,931 --> 01:42:21,301
{\an8}Shadasia Green sees that
and she's waiting to capitalize on.
1758
01:42:22,136 --> 01:42:24,655
{\an8}It's just going to be a matter of time.
1759
01:42:24,688 --> 01:42:26,740
{\an8}Good four piece right there for Marshall.
1760
01:42:27,541 --> 01:42:29,676
{\an8}And as the rounds have gone on,
as you mentioned, Andre,
1761
01:42:29,710 --> 01:42:32,930
{\an8}she's leaning forward a bit more,
squaring up a bit more,
1762
01:42:32,963 --> 01:42:34,915
{\an8}which is dangerous for her,
1763
01:42:34,948 --> 01:42:37,951
{\an8}putting her in a bad position
for green to counter.
1764
01:42:41,738 --> 01:42:44,958
{\an8}The left jab of Shadasia Green
to me turned this fight around.
1765
01:42:44,992 --> 01:42:46,460
{\an8}Once that started finding a home,
1766
01:42:46,493 --> 01:42:49,546
{\an8}then she was setting up
Savannah Marshall for the power shots.
1767
01:42:51,098 --> 01:42:53,433
{\an8}She listened to her corner
very well when they were telling her
1768
01:42:53,467 --> 01:42:56,420
{\an8}to double jab her way in,
followed by the right hand.
1769
01:42:57,070 --> 01:42:58,672
{\an8}See Marshall waking up a little bit.
1770
01:42:58,705 --> 01:43:01,825
{\an8}We're starting to see the Marshall
good right hand right there.
1771
01:43:01,859 --> 01:43:04,428
{\an8}Shadasia Green says,
"Really? That's all you got?"
1772
01:43:06,096 --> 01:43:08,682
{\an8}What does that do
when you see somebody talking to you
1773
01:43:08,715 --> 01:43:10,267
{\an8}like that in the middle of a heated fight?
1774
01:43:10,300 --> 01:43:11,718
{\an8}It depends on what your mindset is.
1775
01:43:11,752 --> 01:43:14,238
{\an8}Some people will get discouraged
by an opponent doing that.
1776
01:43:14,271 --> 01:43:17,474
{\an8}Other people will say,
I'm gonna give you what you're asking for.
1777
01:43:22,279 --> 01:43:24,031
{\an8}-And--
-Sorry, one of the better rounds
1778
01:43:24,064 --> 01:43:26,533
{\an8}from Marshall
than she's had the last few rounds.
1779
01:43:26,567 --> 01:43:28,969
{\an8}She looks like she's woken up
just a little bit.
1780
01:43:32,522 --> 01:43:34,274
Stop, stop, stop, stop. No punch.
1781
01:43:34,308 --> 01:43:36,577
A drama perhaps in three acts
1782
01:43:36,610 --> 01:43:39,012
has reached the end of round eight.
1783
01:43:49,206 --> 01:43:52,509
Right, now listen,
that was a good round by boxing.
1784
01:43:52,542 --> 01:43:55,362
And she's tired.
She's got one big shot,
1785
01:43:55,395 --> 01:43:57,130
so we can't get sloppy and give her that.
1786
01:43:57,164 --> 01:43:59,399
But you see them little
one, two, three, four?
1787
01:43:59,433 --> 01:44:02,102
Can't go with them. Deep breath for me.
1788
01:44:02,135 --> 01:44:04,338
Back for another round
like you just did Daniel.
1789
01:44:04,371 --> 01:44:05,422
Yeah?
1790
01:44:06,356 --> 01:44:09,293
Savannah Marshall woke herself up
in that round by landing
1791
01:44:09,326 --> 01:44:11,178
overhand rights like that.
1792
01:44:11,211 --> 01:44:14,965
But then Shadasia Green says,
"Really? That's all you got?"
1793
01:44:14,998 --> 01:44:16,633
"You're going to have to do
better than that."
1794
01:44:16,667 --> 01:44:18,368
Let's see if Savannah Marshall
has a little bit
1795
01:44:18,402 --> 01:44:19,553
more of that in this next round.
1796
01:44:19,586 --> 01:44:21,471
I want another round like that.
1797
01:44:21,505 --> 01:44:24,324
This is where
champions become champions, yeah?
1798
01:44:24,358 --> 01:44:25,575
Another round like that.
1799
01:44:25,609 --> 01:44:26,994
Discipline, yeah?
1800
01:44:27,027 --> 01:44:29,012
Focus. Show me.
1801
01:44:31,398 --> 01:44:34,234
A bounce back round eight
for Savannah Marshall
1802
01:44:34,268 --> 01:44:36,570
as the two champions head
to the championship round.
1803
01:44:44,211 --> 01:44:46,663
{\an8}This fight may be dead even at this point.
1804
01:44:47,431 --> 01:44:50,784
{\an8}And we remind you again,
the point deduction.
1805
01:44:50,817 --> 01:44:53,987
{\an8}Ooh, good work right there
from Savannah Marshall.
1806
01:44:54,021 --> 01:44:56,156
{\an8}-In close.
-Left hook.
1807
01:44:57,441 --> 01:44:59,593
{\an8}Now she is getting warned
about leading with the head.
1808
01:44:59,626 --> 01:45:01,311
{\an8}You all right? Go.
1809
01:45:07,934 --> 01:45:11,505
{\an8}The fighter in a fight like this,
you can lose yourself for a round or two,
1810
01:45:11,538 --> 01:45:13,674
{\an8}but you can find yourself
all over again.
1811
01:45:13,707 --> 01:45:15,325
{\an8}Savannah Marshall has done just that.
1812
01:45:15,359 --> 01:45:17,377
{\an8}And right now,
I'm looking at Shadasia Green saying,
1813
01:45:17,411 --> 01:45:20,497
{\an8}"You need to find yourself
before the time runs out."
1814
01:45:20,530 --> 01:45:22,032
{\an8}Let it go, let it go .Stop.
1815
01:45:22,065 --> 01:45:25,635
{\an8}The momentum swings
in this fight have been extraordinary.
1816
01:45:25,669 --> 01:45:27,187
{\an8}And I think in these last two rounds,
1817
01:45:27,220 --> 01:45:29,423
{\an8}it's about timing.
Who has that better timing?
1818
01:45:29,456 --> 01:45:33,427
{\an8}Who can take those little
small steps back first and counter?
1819
01:45:33,460 --> 01:45:36,113
{\an8}It's a good combo to the body
and the head from Marshall.
1820
01:45:36,146 --> 01:45:38,281
{\an8}But then Shadasia Green came right back
with a two-piece
1821
01:45:38,315 --> 01:45:40,484
{\an8}and said, "Not quite yet."
I'm still in this thing.
1822
01:45:40,517 --> 01:45:42,102
{\an8}That's what the crowd reacted to.
1823
01:45:45,172 --> 01:45:48,942
{\an8}Both fighters landing big shots,
clean shots for the judges to see.
1824
01:45:50,160 --> 01:45:51,595
{\an8}Ooh.
1825
01:45:58,769 --> 01:46:00,754
{\an8}Shadasia Green is starting
to look fatigued
1826
01:46:00,787 --> 01:46:02,222
{\an8}around round three, round four,
1827
01:46:02,255 --> 01:46:04,391
{\an8}and then suddenly we want
to talk about a second win,
1828
01:46:04,424 --> 01:46:06,543
{\an8}and she dominated the middle round.
1829
01:46:06,576 --> 01:46:08,745
{\an8}All right, stop, stop.
1830
01:46:14,051 --> 01:46:16,386
{\an8}Impossible to read the mind of the judges,
1831
01:46:16,420 --> 01:46:18,438
{\an8}but you've got to feel we're close here
1832
01:46:18,472 --> 01:46:20,791
{\an8}as we head into the later stages
of round nine.
1833
01:46:30,434 --> 01:46:32,018
Stop, stop, stop. No punch, no punch.
1834
01:46:32,052 --> 01:46:33,787
Let him go, let him go straight back.
1835
01:46:33,820 --> 01:46:35,072
Listen to that bell.
1836
01:46:48,618 --> 01:46:51,872
Thank you, thank you.
1837
01:46:51,905 --> 01:46:55,725
She's got to come because she's behind.
So you've got to keep your shape.
1838
01:46:55,759 --> 01:46:58,895
You don't fall in.
You just throw correct shots.
1839
01:46:58,929 --> 01:47:00,931
Yeah? Now have a good drink.
1840
01:47:05,035 --> 01:47:06,336
Yeah?
1841
01:47:07,220 --> 01:47:09,272
You've got to stay tight.
Albert, be quiet!
1842
01:47:09,306 --> 01:47:10,357
Sorry, sir.
1843
01:47:11,324 --> 01:47:12,692
Hands up tight.
1844
01:47:13,777 --> 01:47:15,896
Everything nice and tight.
1845
01:47:15,929 --> 01:47:17,964
All right? Get to her first.
1846
01:47:18,715 --> 01:47:19,950
Get to her first.
1847
01:47:22,219 --> 01:47:25,539
Got to dog it out now,
but you got to be here with it.
1848
01:47:25,572 --> 01:47:27,457
Don't leave it to the fucking judges.
1849
01:47:27,491 --> 01:47:30,360
You hear me? Let's go, baby.
1850
01:47:30,393 --> 01:47:33,914
This is the final round.
1851
01:47:38,568 --> 01:47:42,956
Urgency level
in both corners getting higher and higher,
1852
01:47:42,989 --> 01:47:45,909
{\an8}high intensity fight, a slugfest early,
1853
01:47:45,942 --> 01:47:49,279
{\an8}it got sloppy
and then it got sharp in a hurry
1854
01:47:54,267 --> 01:47:57,370
{\an8}And green's corner telling her
to keep those punches short and sharp
1855
01:47:57,404 --> 01:47:59,573
{\an8}on the inside which is going
to be important for both ladies.
1856
01:47:59,606 --> 01:48:02,375
{\an8}It feels to us like
a super close fight, Sean are we right?
1857
01:48:02,409 --> 01:48:07,013
{\an8}I fully agree 86, 84,
five rounds to four Savannah Marshall
1858
01:48:07,731 --> 01:48:11,051
{\an8}And do the math,
that includes the point deduction…
1859
01:48:11,668 --> 01:48:14,404
{\an8}that came against Shadasia Green
in round four.
1860
01:48:15,539 --> 01:48:18,592
{\an8}And if this is a one-point fight
that's going to be a discussion
1861
01:48:26,116 --> 01:48:28,285
{\an8}A lot of close rounds in this fight.
1862
01:48:30,353 --> 01:48:33,156
{\an8}A workmanlike round thus far
from Savannah Marshall.
1863
01:48:33,190 --> 01:48:35,058
{\an8}And thus far, she's up,
1864
01:48:35,091 --> 01:48:37,444
{\an8}even though there's
a minute left in this round.
1865
01:48:38,712 --> 01:48:42,415
{\an8}Let's see if Green can try to close
the show and close the distance.
1866
01:48:43,633 --> 01:48:46,469
{\an8}Stop, stop, stop. No punch, no punch.
1867
01:48:50,090 --> 01:48:52,275
{\an8}These moments,
you got to find something deep inside.
1868
01:48:52,309 --> 01:48:54,227
{\an8}You're tired. Everybody's tired.
1869
01:48:54,261 --> 01:48:56,196
{\an8}But what do you do when you're tired?
Can you fight?
1870
01:48:56,229 --> 01:48:58,431
{\an8}Can you keep throwing punches
and keep your technique
1871
01:48:58,465 --> 01:49:00,150
{\an8}in form while you do it?
1872
01:49:01,284 --> 01:49:03,236
{\an8}Shadasia Green promised us,
1873
01:49:03,270 --> 01:49:05,839
{\an8}as most fighters do, she would be
the best version of herself.
1874
01:49:05,872 --> 01:49:07,224
{\an8}She wasn't lying.
1875
01:49:18,018 --> 01:49:19,486
{\an8}No one outside Claressa Shields
1876
01:49:19,519 --> 01:49:22,222
{\an8}has had this kind
of success against Savannah Marshall.
1877
01:49:23,924 --> 01:49:28,745
{\an8}But the veteran has found her legs
and found her poise in the later rounds.
1878
01:49:28,778 --> 01:49:33,033
{\an8}Takes a big shot as Green
with that backhand clipped her.
1879
01:49:34,234 --> 01:49:36,303
They rise to their feet at the Garden,
1880
01:49:36,336 --> 01:49:38,588
and rightly so.
1881
01:49:45,111 --> 01:49:48,331
And it was so loud
in here they couldn't hear the bell.
1882
01:49:56,740 --> 01:50:01,311
That was an extraordinary
three-act opera in the guise
1883
01:50:01,344 --> 01:50:02,896
of a championship fight.
1884
01:50:02,929 --> 01:50:05,632
Who won? We'll find out on the other side.
1885
01:50:09,970 --> 01:50:13,406
There's nothing you can do
to simulate two years away.
1886
01:50:13,440 --> 01:50:17,560
Fighting MMA, you wanna fight muay thai?
You wanna fight jiu-jitsu?
1887
01:50:17,594 --> 01:50:19,946
This is a different game,
and for Savannah Marshall,
1888
01:50:19,980 --> 01:50:21,681
she said she didn't want
that comeback fight
1889
01:50:21,715 --> 01:50:23,350
to sort of ease into it.
1890
01:50:23,383 --> 01:50:25,702
Well, this is what you get
when you go in at the highest level
1891
01:50:25,735 --> 01:50:27,170
on the biggest stage.
1892
01:50:27,203 --> 01:50:30,607
Not a bad way to come back.
Not a bad performance to come back with.
1893
01:50:30,640 --> 01:50:33,660
You know, she got hit with some big shots.
1894
01:50:33,693 --> 01:50:37,347
But she kept on her toes
and she kept coming forward,
1895
01:50:37,380 --> 01:50:40,934
and she brought out that dog in her
in those final championship rounds.
1896
01:50:40,967 --> 01:50:43,787
And Shadasia Green
had her moments as well.
1897
01:50:46,690 --> 01:50:50,860
You have a feeling
the crowd is leaning Shadasia Green.
1898
01:50:51,961 --> 01:50:55,031
Whether or not they remember,
or want to remember, the point deduction,
1899
01:50:55,065 --> 01:50:58,168
which could very well
make the difference here.
1900
01:51:15,585 --> 01:51:18,138
So many great exchanges from these ladies.
1901
01:51:18,171 --> 01:51:19,723
Good jab right there.
1902
01:51:21,124 --> 01:51:23,443
Followed by a right hand from Green.
1903
01:51:24,127 --> 01:51:26,296
Followed by a right hand from Marshall.
1904
01:51:26,329 --> 01:51:29,382
It was this kind of fight
throughout the course of the fight.
1905
01:51:29,416 --> 01:51:30,767
Back and forth.
1906
01:51:31,418 --> 01:51:34,337
A beautiful thing to witness.
Respect to both of those ladies.
1907
01:51:34,371 --> 01:51:37,140
And respect to Marshall,
because boxing is a jealous sport,
1908
01:51:37,173 --> 01:51:39,192
and she could have came back
and took an easy fight,
1909
01:51:39,225 --> 01:51:40,293
and she didn't do that.
1910
01:51:40,326 --> 01:51:43,029
And I respect her
for taking Shadasia Green
1911
01:51:43,063 --> 01:51:44,164
in her comeback fight.
1912
01:51:47,951 --> 01:51:50,203
And we saw
a little bit of everything in this fight.
1913
01:51:50,236 --> 01:51:52,072
The ladies fighting on the inside,
1914
01:51:52,105 --> 01:51:56,059
throwing powerful, great,
straight right hands from the outside,
1915
01:51:56,092 --> 01:52:00,530
and it was overall a great performance
by Savannah Marshall and Shadasia Green.
1916
01:52:03,666 --> 01:52:05,018
You don't wanna jinx anything,
1917
01:52:05,051 --> 01:52:08,004
but the degree
to which we've already exceeded
1918
01:52:08,037 --> 01:52:10,023
the hype of an unforgettable night
1919
01:52:10,056 --> 01:52:12,375
is really something.
1920
01:52:38,868 --> 01:52:41,771
Every fight has lived up to the promise.
1921
01:52:41,805 --> 01:52:44,040
Did Savannah Marshall do enough
in the late rounds?
1922
01:52:44,073 --> 01:52:45,525
Big Mo will tell us.
1923
01:52:48,344 --> 01:52:52,799
Ladies and gentlemen,
another round of applause for these two.
1924
01:52:56,402 --> 01:52:59,022
After ten full championship rounds,
1925
01:52:59,055 --> 01:53:01,908
we go to the judges' scorecards
for the official decision.
1926
01:53:02,892 --> 01:53:06,246
Judge Tom Schreck
sees the contest,
1927
01:53:06,279 --> 01:53:09,549
95 to 94, Green.
1928
01:53:11,768 --> 01:53:17,690
Judge Max DeLuca sees it
96 to 93, Marshall.
1929
01:53:19,993 --> 01:53:22,595
And finally, Judge Martha Tremblay
1930
01:53:22,629 --> 01:53:28,134
sees the contest, 96 to 93,
declaring your winner,
1931
01:53:28,168 --> 01:53:32,188
and now the unified IBF, WBO,
and Ring Magazine
1932
01:53:32,222 --> 01:53:34,724
super middleweight champion
of the world,
1933
01:53:35,942 --> 01:53:42,081
Shadasia Green!
1934
01:53:50,423 --> 01:53:54,194
From 20 miles away
to the top of the world.
1935
01:54:24,507 --> 01:54:28,194
Great, great feeling right there
a lot of hard work,
1936
01:54:28,228 --> 01:54:32,866
a lot of sweat a lot of sacrifice
and when your dream becomes a reality
1937
01:54:32,899 --> 01:54:36,002
on this kind of stage, it's overwhelming,
1938
01:54:36,035 --> 01:54:39,806
and that's what
you see right now from Shadasia Green
1939
01:54:41,624 --> 01:54:44,110
And the champ is with Ariel Helwani,
1940
01:54:44,994 --> 01:54:48,164
Sean, thank you very much.
Unbelievable emotion.
1941
01:54:48,197 --> 01:54:50,300
What a scene here for Team Green.
1942
01:54:50,333 --> 01:54:52,969
Shadasia, I see the emotion on your face.
1943
01:54:53,002 --> 01:54:55,088
Can you describe what
you are feeling right now,
1944
01:54:55,121 --> 01:54:57,740
after without a doubt,
the biggest win of your career?
1945
01:54:57,774 --> 01:55:02,078
I'm so sorry. This is 20 years, man.
1946
01:55:02,111 --> 01:55:04,414
Twenty years.
1947
01:55:05,515 --> 01:55:07,116
I was 15 years old.
1948
01:55:08,201 --> 01:55:11,688
And I wanted to box, and I started
with this man right here.
1949
01:55:11,721 --> 01:55:15,041
And my mother told me no.
She told me I had to go to college.
1950
01:55:15,074 --> 01:55:19,012
But she said if I bought my degree back
that I could pursue boxing.
1951
01:55:19,812 --> 01:55:24,684
And these two men, they waited for me.
My family, they set me up in an apartment.
1952
01:55:25,518 --> 01:55:28,788
-And then, 20 years later, we unified.
-Twenty years.
1953
01:55:28,821 --> 01:55:32,642
So, I'm just overwhelmed
with gratitude and joy.
1954
01:55:35,361 --> 01:55:38,014
And I remember seeing people cry
on TV, laughing,
1955
01:55:38,047 --> 01:55:41,951
and Terrific told me that when I won
my titles, I would feel like this.
1956
01:55:42,835 --> 01:55:45,088
{\an8}Shout out to Paterson, New Jersey.
We did it.
1957
01:55:46,739 --> 01:55:51,160
{\an8}You told me yesterday,
you told me yesterday, Shadasia,
1958
01:55:51,194 --> 01:55:53,229
that you're still sleeping
on cotton sheets,
1959
01:55:53,262 --> 01:55:55,648
of course, referencing
the famous Marvin Hagler line
1960
01:55:55,682 --> 01:55:57,567
about waking up in silk pajamas.
1961
01:55:57,600 --> 01:56:01,120
Do you think this is the win that gets you
out of those cotton sheets?
1962
01:56:01,154 --> 01:56:02,605
Maybe,
1963
01:56:02,639 --> 01:56:07,894
because I'm going to still live,
you know, I'm real humble and meek.
1964
01:56:07,927 --> 01:56:11,264
But these guys pushed me
to my limit this camp.
1965
01:56:11,931 --> 01:56:15,201
I told you,
I got beat up every day in sparring,
1966
01:56:15,234 --> 01:56:18,254
and I knew it was worth it
because Savannah Marshall was worth it.
1967
01:56:18,287 --> 01:56:20,356
And much respect to Savannah Marshall.
1968
01:56:20,390 --> 01:56:23,910
She came out here and she fought me today,
and I appreciate that.
1969
01:56:23,943 --> 01:56:27,930
You're a great champion, and I said that
before the fight, and I say it now.
1970
01:56:27,964 --> 01:56:29,315
You're fucking phenomenal.
1971
01:56:29,983 --> 01:56:33,086
Well, I'd be remiss if I don't ask
Savannah a question about the decision.
1972
01:56:33,119 --> 01:56:36,022
It was such a close fight.
What a great war between the two of you.
1973
01:56:36,055 --> 01:56:38,891
Your thoughts after hearing
the judges' scorecards?
1974
01:56:38,925 --> 01:56:42,462
Look, taking that away from Shadasia,
she was absolutely unbelievable tonight.
1975
01:56:42,495 --> 01:56:45,331
{\an8}Do you know what?
I've never been like that before, ever.
1976
01:56:45,365 --> 01:56:49,869
{\an8}But look, even with the point off,
You give me two rounds.
1977
01:56:49,902 --> 01:56:52,955
{\an8}I've come over here.
I've give you all three judges.
1978
01:56:52,989 --> 01:56:54,207
{\an8}How is that fair?
1979
01:56:54,240 --> 01:56:56,626
{\an8}Even with a point off,
look, I'm not saying I won.
1980
01:56:56,659 --> 01:56:59,645
But even with a point off,
you've given me two rounds.
1981
01:56:59,679 --> 01:57:01,481
All I wanted was a fair fight.
1982
01:57:01,514 --> 01:57:02,682
Come on.
1983
01:57:02,715 --> 01:57:06,903
Well, I know it was two years away
for you from this ring.
1984
01:57:06,936 --> 01:57:10,390
We look forward to your return.
What a performance from the two of you.
1985
01:57:10,423 --> 01:57:13,493
Madison Square Garden,
can you please show some love
1986
01:57:13,526 --> 01:57:15,545
to these two incredible fighters
1987
01:57:15,578 --> 01:57:17,964
who put on
an unbelievable display tonight?
1988
01:57:17,997 --> 01:57:20,199
Congratulations to you both.
1989
01:57:20,967 --> 01:57:24,187
I don't think I need to remind
anybody that three years ago,
1990
01:57:24,220 --> 01:57:27,540
Serrano and Taylor staged
an extraordinary championship fight
1991
01:57:27,573 --> 01:57:29,826
that made people want to see it again.
1992
01:57:30,526 --> 01:57:34,030
-Maybe we just saw a sequel.
-I would love to see that again.
1993
01:57:34,063 --> 01:57:36,265
I would love to see that again as well.
1994
01:57:36,299 --> 01:57:41,120
Such an-- Oh man, all the emotions
on Shadasia Green I can relate to
1995
01:57:41,154 --> 01:57:43,956
{\an8}from all the struggle and the hard work
and the years that she put into this.
1996
01:57:43,990 --> 01:57:47,043
{\an8}So to see her with the victory tonight
is incredible.
1997
01:57:47,076 --> 01:57:49,645
{\an8}You never have
to apologize for emotion like that.
1998
01:57:49,679 --> 01:57:53,699
{\an8}Alycia Baumgardner, she triggers
a lot of emotions in a lot of people.
1999
01:57:53,733 --> 01:57:55,685
{\an8}She is coming up next
in the co-main event,
2000
01:57:55,718 --> 01:57:58,721
{\an8}and you all know by now
where we are headed.
2001
01:57:58,755 --> 01:58:01,174
{\an8}Five years and 20 rounds in the making,
2002
01:58:01,207 --> 01:58:05,795
{\an8}trilogy fight between Katie Taylor
and Amanda Serrano.
2003
01:58:05,828 --> 01:58:08,498
We have waited
for this night for so many years,
2004
01:58:08,531 --> 01:58:11,984
and to this point,
Kate, it has not let us down.
2005
01:58:14,437 --> 01:58:17,640
It hasn't, Sean,
and we are getting closer and closer.
2006
01:58:17,673 --> 01:58:19,842
{\an8}Oh, man, that was dope
to see Shadasia Green.
2007
01:58:19,876 --> 01:58:22,862
{\an8}-The emotion, that got me!
-Man, I almost had tears in my eyes.
2008
01:58:22,895 --> 01:58:24,330
{\an8}-Right. Same.
-Yes!
2009
01:58:24,363 --> 01:58:27,600
{\an8}I mean, it was a tough fight
against Savannah Marshall obviously,
2010
01:58:27,633 --> 01:58:29,769
but should Shadasia Green begin
to kind of find her feet,
2011
01:58:29,802 --> 01:58:32,605
find some success
in the second half of that fight, Laila
2012
01:58:32,638 --> 01:58:33,873
She started slow.
2013
01:58:33,906 --> 01:58:35,975
-I was a little concerned at first.
-Right.
2014
01:58:36,008 --> 01:58:39,278
You know, but she-- I think
in the moment where Savannah hit her,
2015
01:58:39,312 --> 01:58:40,563
{\an8}I think it might have been
in the fifth round,
2016
01:58:40,596 --> 01:58:42,498
{\an8}and then she kind of started
smiling at her.
2017
01:58:42,532 --> 01:58:44,000
{\an8}Shadasia was like,
"Hold on, are you talking?"
2018
01:58:44,033 --> 01:58:45,751
{\an8}-And then just kind of pepped her up.
-Right.
2019
01:58:45,785 --> 01:58:47,720
{\an8}You know? So, that's when she came on,
2020
01:58:47,753 --> 01:58:50,473
{\an8}and she just started
really taking control of the fight.
2021
01:58:50,506 --> 01:58:51,908
{\an8}You know? And that's what I wanna see.
2022
01:58:51,941 --> 01:58:55,695
{\an8}I want you to really dictate the pace,
land your shots.
2023
01:58:55,728 --> 01:58:57,930
{\an8}Savannah, unfortunately,
was not using her height.
2024
01:58:57,964 --> 01:59:01,801
{\an8}You know, she was bending over the waist,
and that was not good.
2025
01:59:01,834 --> 01:59:04,003
{\an8}That was not good for her tonight
as we saw.
2026
01:59:04,036 --> 01:59:06,072
Is this a fight
that you would like to see again?
2027
01:59:06,105 --> 01:59:07,657
As the team ringside was talking about,
2028
01:59:07,690 --> 01:59:09,742
would you like to see her
against maybe Claressa?
2029
01:59:09,775 --> 01:59:11,544
There's been talk about
that fight as well.
2030
01:59:11,577 --> 01:59:13,796
I think that if they have a rematch,
2031
01:59:13,830 --> 01:59:16,132
it would make sense to do
because Savannah had,
2032
01:59:16,165 --> 01:59:17,316
you know, couple years off.
2033
01:59:17,350 --> 01:59:19,535
I think she could definitely do better
the second time.
2034
01:59:19,569 --> 01:59:21,521
And you know, we just gotta see.
2035
01:59:21,554 --> 01:59:24,924
If the money makes sense for the ladies,
I'm sure they'll do it again.
2036
01:59:24,957 --> 01:59:27,827
Savannah seemed to feel that
she was hard done by in that one.
2037
01:59:27,860 --> 01:59:28,728
What did you think?
2038
01:59:28,761 --> 01:59:30,062
We always feel that way, you know?
2039
01:59:30,096 --> 01:59:32,431
I mean, I haven't ever had
that happen to me,
2040
01:59:32,465 --> 01:59:33,699
but… 'cause I'm undefeated.
2041
01:59:33,733 --> 01:59:37,053
But I would imagine
that I would feel that way.
2042
01:59:37,086 --> 01:59:39,255
I like it, I like it.
2043
01:59:39,288 --> 01:59:41,140
It is difficult to go.
2044
01:59:41,174 --> 01:59:42,775
I think all your fights were
in the US, weren't they?
2045
01:59:42,808 --> 01:59:44,093
-But it is difficult to go.
-No, they weren't.
2046
01:59:44,126 --> 01:59:46,429
-They weren't? I apologize.
-No, it's okay.
2047
01:59:46,462 --> 01:59:48,865
Yeah, no, but it is harder
when you go overseas,
2048
01:59:48,898 --> 01:59:50,099
and you know, you feel some kind of way.
2049
01:59:50,132 --> 01:59:52,418
But I think maybe
when she watches the fight back,
2050
01:59:52,451 --> 01:59:54,620
she might feel differently.
You know, that's what you have to do.
2051
01:59:54,654 --> 01:59:57,306
That's what happens.
Okay, can you say it very well?
2052
01:59:57,340 --> 02:00:00,376
Welcome special guest in the building,
fresh off his latest win
2053
02:00:00,409 --> 02:00:03,045
in the ring
against Julio César Chávez Jr.,
2054
02:00:03,079 --> 02:00:06,766
co-owner of MVP Most Valuable Promotions.
Jake Paul, good to see you.
2055
02:00:07,416 --> 02:00:10,403
Good to see you. This is crazy.
I was getting emotional in there.
2056
02:00:10,436 --> 02:00:14,156
I started crying.
It just means so much to these fighters.
2057
02:00:14,190 --> 02:00:16,459
And tonight's such a special,
historic night.
2058
02:00:16,492 --> 02:00:18,561
So, just happy to be here.
And great to meet you.
2059
02:00:18,594 --> 02:00:20,413
-Nice to finally meet you as well.
-Like, you're the best.
2060
02:00:20,446 --> 02:00:22,114
-Thank you. I appreciate that.
-Legend.
2061
02:00:22,148 --> 02:00:24,800
-Good to meet you too.
-I think we've met before.
2062
02:00:24,834 --> 02:00:25,952
-We did?
-Yeah.
2063
02:00:25,985 --> 02:00:27,720
I met your brother just recently
at your fight.
2064
02:00:27,753 --> 02:00:29,989
-I was there at the fight in Anaheim.
-Good to see you.
2065
02:00:30,022 --> 02:00:31,941
Listen, we have to give you
some props here as well.
2066
02:00:31,974 --> 02:00:34,644
This is your event, all-women card.
2067
02:00:34,677 --> 02:00:37,480
It's only unified
or undisputed title fights
2068
02:00:37,513 --> 02:00:38,464
on this main card.
2069
02:00:38,497 --> 02:00:41,234
We're on Netflix, the biggest
streaming platform in the world.
2070
02:00:41,267 --> 02:00:44,904
Congratulations. What you're doing
for women's boxing is phenomenal.
2071
02:00:44,937 --> 02:00:47,206
-It's special.
-Thank you. No, I appreciate that.
2072
02:00:47,240 --> 02:00:49,208
But really, it's all credit to them,
2073
02:00:49,242 --> 02:00:52,561
and the people
like Laila and Christy Martin
2074
02:00:52,595 --> 02:00:53,579
{\an8}who paved the way.
2075
02:00:53,613 --> 02:00:56,499
{\an8}So, this is a product
of their work as well.
2076
02:00:56,532 --> 02:00:57,984
{\an8}Why did you wait till I retired, man?
2077
02:00:58,017 --> 02:00:59,118
{\an8}-Now, you're paying all this money.
-I know.
2078
02:00:59,151 --> 02:01:01,120
I mean, I could have stayed
in the game a little longer.
2079
02:01:01,153 --> 02:01:03,990
-I mean, come on, what?
-We want you to come back.
2080
02:01:05,591 --> 02:01:08,094
{\an8}We want you to come back.
2081
02:01:09,578 --> 02:01:12,481
{\an8}Hey, there's always a number,
right, Laila?
2082
02:01:12,515 --> 02:01:14,300
{\an8}-There's a number.
-Always, always.
2083
02:01:14,333 --> 02:01:17,887
{\an8}-Do we wanna talk specifics?
-We'll talk after the show.
2084
02:01:20,456 --> 02:01:22,124
{\an8}I guess one of the things
that was interesting
2085
02:01:22,158 --> 02:01:23,643
{\an8}that you mentioned earlier on
was the fact that
2086
02:01:23,676 --> 02:01:26,879
{\an8}you had to convince your father
to allow you to box,
2087
02:01:26,912 --> 02:01:28,297
{\an8}that he kind of looked at this
and thought,
2088
02:01:28,331 --> 02:01:30,032
{\an8}"This isn't for women,
this isn't for you."
2089
02:01:30,066 --> 02:01:31,600
{\an8}I'm the baby, okay?
2090
02:01:31,634 --> 02:01:35,721
{\an8}There are ten, is it nine or ten…
nine of us. I'm the youngest girl.
2091
02:01:35,755 --> 02:01:37,256
{\an8}None of us fought except me,
2092
02:01:37,290 --> 02:01:39,091
{\an8}and he definitely tried
to talk me out of it.
2093
02:01:39,125 --> 02:01:42,328
{\an8}Nobody wants their baby in a grimy gym,
but he respected me.
2094
02:01:42,361 --> 02:01:44,163
{\an8}Once he saw
that I actually put in the work,
2095
02:01:44,196 --> 02:01:48,534
{\an8}I started winning titles, he sat ringside,
and watched his baby girl fight.
2096
02:01:48,567 --> 02:01:51,270
{\an8}And you know, he just had to say,
"Okay, I got this,"
2097
02:01:51,304 --> 02:01:54,273
{\an8}even though he did not love it.
But, you know, he respected me.
2098
02:01:54,307 --> 02:01:56,409
{\an8}And that's what nights like this
can do, right,
2099
02:01:56,442 --> 02:01:57,860
{\an8}is convince the cynics.
2100
02:01:57,893 --> 02:02:00,563
{\an8}I'm interested in you
not as the fighter right now,
2101
02:02:00,596 --> 02:02:02,014
{\an8}but you as the promoter.
2102
02:02:02,048 --> 02:02:04,350
{\an8}You have a very close relationship
with Amanda Serrano.
2103
02:02:04,383 --> 02:02:06,569
{\an8}We all know what you've done
for her career,
2104
02:02:06,602 --> 02:02:08,671
{\an8}to watch her take
those two decision losses
2105
02:02:08,704 --> 02:02:10,606
{\an8}in the previous two fights.
2106
02:02:10,639 --> 02:02:12,224
{\an8}You know,
when we watch fighters take a loss,
2107
02:02:12,258 --> 02:02:13,309
{\an8}they have to process that,
2108
02:02:13,342 --> 02:02:14,910
{\an8}they have to figure out
how they deal with that.
2109
02:02:14,944 --> 02:02:17,663
{\an8}You as the promoter,
how personally did you take that?
2110
02:02:17,697 --> 02:02:20,966
{\an8}Yeah, no, it's heartbreaking,
and I know how much it means to her,
2111
02:02:21,000 --> 02:02:25,571
{\an8}but luckily, we're back here tonight
with another opportunity,
2112
02:02:25,604 --> 02:02:28,758
{\an8}and the Puerto Rican fans,
and a lot of the fans say that
2113
02:02:28,791 --> 02:02:30,793
{\an8}she won the first two fights.
2114
02:02:31,327 --> 02:02:34,130
{\an8}But at the end of the day,
it was scored against her,
2115
02:02:34,163 --> 02:02:39,135
{\an8}and so, tonight's an opportunity for her
to correct all the wrongs,
2116
02:02:39,168 --> 02:02:40,619
{\an8}and I believe that she can do it.
2117
02:02:40,653 --> 02:02:45,374
{\an8}I believe that this is her moment,
and I'm on the edge of my seat,
2118
02:02:45,408 --> 02:02:48,928
{\an8}just, like, nervous, goosebumps,
ready for her to go.
2119
02:02:48,961 --> 02:02:51,664
{\an8}The crowd is cheering for her,
it's electric in here.
2120
02:02:51,697 --> 02:02:53,249
{\an8}So, this is her night.
2121
02:02:53,282 --> 02:02:55,368
{\an8}Yeah, she's looking good back there
in the locker room.
2122
02:02:55,401 --> 02:02:57,153
{\an8}We do appreciate you taking time
to join us.
2123
02:02:57,186 --> 02:02:58,037
{\an8}Thank you so much.
2124
02:02:58,070 --> 02:02:58,954
{\an8}-Good luck this evening.
-Thank you.
2125
02:02:58,988 --> 02:03:01,173
{\an8}And congratulations again
for everything you're doing.
2126
02:03:01,207 --> 02:03:03,659
{\an8}We are counting down, everybody,
to our main event.
2127
02:03:03,692 --> 02:03:06,996
{\an8}A little more than an hour now
until Taylor vs. Serrano 3
2128
02:03:07,029 --> 02:03:10,266
{\an8}live around the world
right here on Netflix.
2129
02:03:10,299 --> 02:03:13,035
{\an8}We're gonna bring you more
from MSG in just a moment.
2130
02:03:26,849 --> 02:03:30,419
We are back live on Netflix
at a sold-out Madison Square Garden.
2131
02:03:30,453 --> 02:03:34,540
We're midway through the first
all-women's boxing card ever held
2132
02:03:34,573 --> 02:03:36,525
at the world's most famous arena.
2133
02:03:36,559 --> 02:03:39,261
It's been a long journey
for women's sports across the board,
2134
02:03:39,295 --> 02:03:44,166
and female athletes to receive this kind
of opportunity, recognition, and shine
2135
02:03:44,200 --> 02:03:46,235
that this night represents.
2136
02:03:46,268 --> 02:03:48,821
This is a historic evening
for women's boxing.
2137
02:03:48,854 --> 02:03:50,823
It has been decades in the making.
2138
02:03:50,856 --> 02:03:52,425
So, let's take a look back
at some of the fights,
2139
02:03:52,458 --> 02:03:55,828
the fighters, and the moments
that brought us to tonight.
2140
02:04:03,102 --> 02:04:04,620
There's a lot of blood on the face
2141
02:04:04,653 --> 02:04:07,656
{\an8}of Christy Martin,
but most of it is from Deirdre Gogarty.
2142
02:04:07,690 --> 02:04:10,643
{\an8}As Martin continues to land
rights, lefts, uppercuts…
2143
02:04:10,676 --> 02:04:14,997
{\an8}Nearly 30 years ago,
women's boxing had its breakout moment
2144
02:04:15,030 --> 02:04:17,516
{\an8}when Christy Martin
battled Deirdre Gogarty.
2145
02:04:17,550 --> 02:04:19,168
{\an8}Martin has Gogarty cornered,
2146
02:04:19,201 --> 02:04:21,620
{\an8}and she is really taking a beating.
2147
02:04:21,654 --> 02:04:24,824
{\an8}Their astonishing aggression
and nonstop action
2148
02:04:24,857 --> 02:04:26,976
{\an8}upstaged the night's
heavyweight title bout
2149
02:04:27,009 --> 02:04:32,064
{\an8}between Mike Tyson and Frank Bruno,
and set the early standard for the sport.
2150
02:04:32,097 --> 02:04:34,183
{\an8}Martin!
2151
02:04:34,216 --> 02:04:35,534
{\an8}In 2001,
2152
02:04:35,568 --> 02:04:39,788
{\an8}I renewed an old family rivalry
when I took on Jacqui Frazier live,
2153
02:04:39,822 --> 02:04:44,793
{\an8}more than 25 years after our fathers,
Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier,
2154
02:04:44,827 --> 02:04:47,163
{\an8}shook up the world
with their classic trilogy.
2155
02:04:47,196 --> 02:04:48,781
{\an8}Another big left hook punctuates
2156
02:04:48,814 --> 02:04:50,666
{\an8}the end of the fight for Jacqui Frazier.
2157
02:04:50,699 --> 02:04:52,368
What a fight this has been!
2158
02:04:52,401 --> 02:04:55,020
Ours was
the first pay-per-view boxing card
2159
02:04:55,054 --> 02:04:57,907
ever headlined by women.
2160
02:04:58,591 --> 02:05:04,313
{\an8}Another leap forward came in 2012
with the Olympic debut of women's boxing.
2161
02:05:04,346 --> 02:05:06,765
{\an8}Katie Taylor
immediately established herself
2162
02:05:06,799 --> 02:05:10,135
as one to watch,
taking home a gold medal in London.
2163
02:05:13,372 --> 02:05:16,625
{\an8}In 2019, Claressa Shields added her name
2164
02:05:16,659 --> 02:05:20,946
to the conversation when she dominated
German champ, Christina Hammer,
2165
02:05:20,980 --> 02:05:22,831
to unify the middleweight titles.
2166
02:05:22,865 --> 02:05:26,418
-Oh, my God!
-…Shields!
2167
02:05:26,452 --> 02:05:30,506
{\an8}And Amanda Serrano blazed
a new trail for women's boxing
2168
02:05:30,539 --> 02:05:34,210
{\an8}when she fought
12 three-minute rounds in 2023.
2169
02:05:34,243 --> 02:05:39,281
{\an8}…Amanda Serrano!
2170
02:05:40,499 --> 02:05:43,652
{\an8}Well, all of those moments elevated
women's boxing to new heights,
2171
02:05:43,686 --> 02:05:45,271
{\an8}and this incredible rivalry
2172
02:05:45,304 --> 02:05:48,057
{\an8}between Taylor and Serrano
only takes it higher.
2173
02:05:48,090 --> 02:05:50,092
{\an8}I want to come back
to Amanda Serrano talking
2174
02:05:50,125 --> 02:05:52,878
{\an8}about wanting, uh, 12 three-minute rounds.
2175
02:05:52,912 --> 02:05:55,331
{\an8}She wanted it
for this fight specifically again.
2176
02:05:55,364 --> 02:05:57,316
She said that her
and Katie Taylor shook on that.
2177
02:05:57,349 --> 02:06:00,886
Katie Taylor said, "Hey, the challenger
doesn't get to dictate the terms."
2178
02:06:00,920 --> 02:06:04,657
Do you think that two-minute rounds
disadvantage women's boxing?
2179
02:06:04,690 --> 02:06:07,643
I would have loved to have the opportunity
to fight three-minute rounds.
2180
02:06:07,676 --> 02:06:09,862
It just gives you more time
to get the job done,
2181
02:06:09,895 --> 02:06:12,231
especially if you're a puncher.
You want those three-minute rounds.
2182
02:06:12,264 --> 02:06:15,534
But I also understand not wanting
to change at this point in your career
2183
02:06:15,568 --> 02:06:16,952
in some of the biggest fights of your life
2184
02:06:16,986 --> 02:06:19,121
and all of a sudden,
start fighting three-minute rounds.
2185
02:06:19,154 --> 02:06:21,840
Do you think
that's the majority of female fighters
2186
02:06:21,874 --> 02:06:25,144
-who are for that change in general?
-Probably. I would think so.
2187
02:06:25,177 --> 02:06:27,046
I mean, it depends on how you train.
2188
02:06:27,079 --> 02:06:28,447
Like, I always sparred
three-minute rounds.
2189
02:06:28,480 --> 02:06:31,083
I sparred with men.
You know, I was in great shape.
2190
02:06:31,116 --> 02:06:33,402
So, I think
it just depends on the fighter.
2191
02:06:33,435 --> 02:06:35,521
Do women feel like that is their route
2192
02:06:35,554 --> 02:06:39,258
to proving that they deserve
equal opportunity to men in boxing,
2193
02:06:39,291 --> 02:06:40,926
equal pay to men in boxing?
2194
02:06:40,960 --> 02:06:43,662
I just have always felt like
there's no reason for us
2195
02:06:43,696 --> 02:06:45,180
not to do three-minute rounds.
2196
02:06:45,214 --> 02:06:47,783
We're athletes.
We can get in just as good of a shape.
2197
02:06:47,816 --> 02:06:49,551
{\an8}But I think that those
who are against it are like,
2198
02:06:49,585 --> 02:06:51,954
{\an8}"Oh, we don't want you to take
as much damage to the head."
2199
02:06:51,987 --> 02:06:53,439
{\an8}But I mean, in this sport--
I mean, come on.
2200
02:06:53,472 --> 02:06:54,740
{\an8}-If you're in this sport…
-You're already in it.
2201
02:06:54,773 --> 02:06:56,091
{\an8}…you're taking damage to the head.
2202
02:06:56,125 --> 02:06:59,378
I mean, we're all a little crazy
to begin with to want to do this, okay?
2203
02:06:59,411 --> 02:07:01,030
'Cause I could have done
a whole lot of other things,
2204
02:07:01,063 --> 02:07:03,248
but I love to fight.
2205
02:07:03,282 --> 02:07:05,701
And still loves to fight, yes.
2206
02:07:05,734 --> 02:07:08,087
Tonight is their night,
and just moments ago,
2207
02:07:08,120 --> 02:07:12,424
Ariel Helwani caught up with both of
the main event fighters. Let's listen in.
2208
02:07:12,458 --> 02:07:14,877
I spoke
to Nakisa Bidarian earlier tonight.
2209
02:07:14,910 --> 02:07:17,096
He told me, no pressure.
2210
02:07:17,129 --> 02:07:18,897
You're not feeling
any pressure whatsoever.
2211
02:07:18,931 --> 02:07:20,766
Is he just saying that,
or is that accurate?
2212
02:07:20,799 --> 02:07:23,469
No, no.
This is a great night for all us women.
2213
02:07:23,502 --> 02:07:27,573
{\an8}And I'm excited to be here. I'm ready.
You know, all the talking has been done.
2214
02:07:27,606 --> 02:07:29,792
{\an8}Now, it's time to go out there
and put on a show for everyone.
2215
02:07:29,825 --> 02:07:31,343
{\an8}Okay, so I'll ask you one last question.
2216
02:07:31,377 --> 02:07:33,495
{\an8}I hear you have something
a little special planned for the walkout.
2217
02:07:33,529 --> 02:07:35,614
{\an8}Your walkouts
have become legendary at this point.
2218
02:07:35,648 --> 02:07:37,616
Can you give us a taste of what's to come?
2219
02:07:37,650 --> 02:07:40,135
Yeah, a little something special.
You know, I'm a New Yorker.
2220
02:07:40,169 --> 02:07:42,054
I got a bestie coming out with me.
2221
02:07:42,087 --> 02:07:46,158
And it all has to do with Nakisa.
Nakisa puts the music together,
2222
02:07:46,191 --> 02:07:49,094
and I tell him one song I want,
and he puts it all together.
2223
02:07:49,128 --> 02:07:51,780
-So it's gonna be a good walkout.
-Love it. Can't wait.
2224
02:07:51,814 --> 02:07:53,716
-Good luck tonight.
-Thank you so much.
2225
02:07:54,583 --> 02:07:59,972
Katie, it is always so striking to me
how calm and collected and serene
2226
02:08:00,005 --> 02:08:01,974
your locker room is
before these big battles,
2227
02:08:02,007 --> 02:08:05,160
before the madness really begins for you.
2228
02:08:05,194 --> 02:08:06,829
Can you describe
what goes on in your mind
2229
02:08:06,862 --> 02:08:08,881
moments before you're about to walk out?
2230
02:08:08,914 --> 02:08:12,334
{\an8}Um… I guess
I'm just ready to fight at that stage.
2231
02:08:12,368 --> 02:08:14,453
{\an8}This is what I've been training for
for the last few months.
2232
02:08:14,486 --> 02:08:17,172
{\an8}Uh, this is what I've been dreaming of
for the last few months.
2233
02:08:17,206 --> 02:08:21,460
{\an8}And I'm in the dressing room now,
just feeling ready and prepared, and…
2234
02:08:21,493 --> 02:08:25,881
{\an8}I always have such a small team with me,
always the same people in my corner, and…
2235
02:08:25,914 --> 02:08:28,934
{\an8}Um… We've all been there together
for the last few months
2236
02:08:28,967 --> 02:08:32,788
and we're stepping into the ring together
in a few moments as well.
2237
02:08:32,821 --> 02:08:36,275
And I just can't wait to step in there
and do what I was born to do.
2238
02:08:36,308 --> 02:08:39,228
You said yesterday,
biggest moment of your career tonight.
2239
02:08:39,261 --> 02:08:42,347
And that struck me because you've done
so much on so many big stages.
2240
02:08:42,381 --> 02:08:43,749
Can you explain why?
2241
02:08:43,782 --> 02:08:48,754
I just think headlining this card alone
at Madison Square Garden again,
2242
02:08:48,787 --> 02:08:50,956
live on Netflix, is such a special moment.
2243
02:08:50,989 --> 02:08:53,792
This is something that I…
I wouldn't have even dreamt of,
2244
02:08:53,826 --> 02:08:54,993
really, a few years back.
2245
02:08:55,027 --> 02:08:59,114
And to be here now,
headlining such a major card,
2246
02:08:59,148 --> 02:09:02,468
this is a huge moment for women's sport.
And I just feel very, very honored,
2247
02:09:02,501 --> 02:09:04,753
really very, very thankful
to be in this position.
2248
02:09:04,787 --> 02:09:08,040
And, um, yeah,
what a moment for women's sport.
2249
02:09:08,073 --> 02:09:10,109
-Thank you so much. Good luck.
-Thanks, Ariel.
2250
02:09:11,827 --> 02:09:13,846
Okay, everybody,
our main event is still to come.
2251
02:09:13,879 --> 02:09:16,999
The co-main, though, is next
for the third title fight of the night.
2252
02:09:17,032 --> 02:09:20,486
Let me send you over again
to Sean Grande and the team ringside.
2253
02:09:20,519 --> 02:09:22,187
-Sean.
-All right, Kate.
2254
02:09:22,221 --> 02:09:23,472
Well, what a night it's been. All right.
2255
02:09:23,505 --> 02:09:25,858
Laila looks like
she wants to go back in and fight.
2256
02:09:25,891 --> 02:09:28,143
It's pretty clear as this night goes on.
2257
02:09:28,177 --> 02:09:31,447
You know where we are headed
for Taylor vs. Serrano 3.
2258
02:09:32,531 --> 02:09:35,417
It's gonna be nearly impossible
to steal the show from them.
2259
02:09:35,451 --> 02:09:39,304
But there's a woman coming up
who is going to try her very best.
2260
02:09:39,822 --> 02:09:42,107
And this one, this co-main event,
2261
02:09:42,141 --> 02:09:45,410
it kind of got heated
at the weigh-in yesterday.
2262
02:09:45,444 --> 02:09:48,363
Jennifer Miranda's
undefeated record looks pretty good.
2263
02:09:48,397 --> 02:09:51,099
But as we like to say,
there are levels to this.
2264
02:09:51,133 --> 02:09:53,986
And she is about to step
way, way up in class.
2265
02:09:54,019 --> 02:09:55,137
Sean Wheelock has the rules.
2266
02:09:55,170 --> 02:09:57,289
{\an8}And the last time
we saw Alycia Baumgardner,
2267
02:09:57,322 --> 02:09:59,975
{\an8}-these rules came into play.
-They did indeed, Sean.
2268
02:10:00,008 --> 02:10:03,328
{\an8}September of last year,
Alycia Baumgardner versus Delfine Persoon.
2269
02:10:03,362 --> 02:10:06,882
{\an8}A no contest due to
a fight-ending accidental headbutt.
2270
02:10:06,915 --> 02:10:08,734
{\an8}Round number four on the cut.
2271
02:10:08,767 --> 02:10:12,204
{\an8}So, under the unified rules,
if an accidental foul ends the fight,
2272
02:10:12,237 --> 02:10:15,374
{\an8}four rounds must be completed
to consider it official.
2273
02:10:21,763 --> 02:10:26,685
Perhaps an unfamiliar face to you,
but not around the world.
2274
02:10:26,718 --> 02:10:28,086
And we'll tell you all about that.
2275
02:10:28,120 --> 02:10:30,689
But she was obviously very late
to the sport…
2276
02:10:31,907 --> 02:10:36,595
and now, seems almost beautifully unaware
of what she's stepping into here.
2277
02:10:36,628 --> 02:10:38,330
And that could make her dangerous.
2278
02:10:54,363 --> 02:10:56,949
{\an8}There isn't a great history
of boxing in Spain.
2279
02:10:56,982 --> 02:11:01,470
{\an8}Jennifer Miranda, talking
to her last week and she is so engaging.
2280
02:11:01,503 --> 02:11:04,656
She's aware of that history
and she very much wants to change it.
2281
02:11:09,144 --> 02:11:11,830
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
2282
02:11:12,381 --> 02:11:17,436
New York, are you ready
for the co-main event
2283
02:11:17,469 --> 02:11:22,107
of the evening?
2284
02:11:22,824 --> 02:11:26,395
Ladies and gentlemen,
this bout is ten rounds
2285
02:11:26,428 --> 02:11:31,884
for the undisputed
super featherweight championship
2286
02:11:31,917 --> 02:11:33,919
of the world.
2287
02:11:33,952 --> 02:11:39,708
Introducing first, the challenger,
fighting out of the red corner,
2288
02:11:39,741 --> 02:11:46,331
here is Jennifer Miranda.
2289
02:11:48,884 --> 02:11:51,486
It's a powerful thing
in your hand, that remote.
2290
02:11:51,520 --> 02:11:53,972
When you're here on Netflix,
you're basically two clicks away
2291
02:11:54,006 --> 02:11:57,042
from, what, thousands and thousands
of shows and movies.
2292
02:11:57,075 --> 02:11:59,611
And among the most popular in Spain,
the most addictive,
2293
02:11:59,645 --> 02:12:02,381
is a Spanish crime drama
calledMoney Heist.
2294
02:12:02,414 --> 02:12:05,000
It's about a caper
of extraordinary ambition
2295
02:12:05,033 --> 02:12:08,587
to upset the status quo
and do what they said couldn't be done.
2296
02:12:09,154 --> 02:12:12,808
Well, one of its voluminous cast
is that woman, Jennifer Miranda.
2297
02:12:12,841 --> 02:12:15,077
Renaissance woman, actress, scholar,
2298
02:12:15,110 --> 02:12:17,963
undefeated professional fighter,
and tonight,
2299
02:12:17,996 --> 02:12:21,133
she will attempt
a heist of extraordinary ambition
2300
02:12:21,166 --> 02:12:25,320
to upset the status quo
and do what no one seems to think she can,
2301
02:12:25,354 --> 02:12:28,273
beat Alycia Baumgardner. Can it be done?
2302
02:12:31,326 --> 02:12:32,577
It can be done.
2303
02:12:32,611 --> 02:12:36,231
We have an undefeated fighter
in Jennifer Miranda,
2304
02:12:36,264 --> 02:12:39,868
and this is a dream come true
for her coming from Spain.
2305
02:12:39,901 --> 02:12:42,604
Tonight is her night
to show the world who she is.
2306
02:12:49,928 --> 02:12:52,147
Let's go, Miranda!
2307
02:12:56,101 --> 02:12:59,504
One of the most
talked about fighters in the world
2308
02:13:00,055 --> 02:13:01,390
has waited for this night.
2309
02:13:01,423 --> 02:13:04,326
She can barely contain
the smile on her face.
2310
02:13:04,359 --> 02:13:10,048
Alycia Baumgardner has been fighting
in big fights for many years right now.
2311
02:13:10,082 --> 02:13:13,502
We have an undisputed champion
that we crowned earlier tonight.
2312
02:13:13,535 --> 02:13:15,837
Alycia Baumgardner
is an undisputed champion and,
2313
02:13:15,871 --> 02:13:17,556
of course, the main event.
2314
02:13:17,589 --> 02:13:21,743
But Alycia Baumgardner has her eyes
on every single thing
2315
02:13:21,777 --> 02:13:24,212
there is to do in this sport.
She wants it.
2316
02:13:24,980 --> 02:13:27,699
Alycia Baumgardner is extremely confident,
2317
02:13:27,733 --> 02:13:30,452
and she knows
that she's made for this moment,
2318
02:13:30,485 --> 02:13:32,554
so she's not gonna let it slip away.
2319
02:13:38,010 --> 02:13:40,746
And now, her opponent…
2320
02:13:42,014 --> 02:13:44,549
fighting out of the blue corner,
2321
02:13:45,100 --> 02:13:50,489
the defending undisputed world champion,
2322
02:13:50,522 --> 02:13:56,778
Alycia Baumgardner!
2323
02:14:00,799 --> 02:14:01,950
In about an hour,
2324
02:14:01,983 --> 02:14:05,087
Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor
will walk this aisle,
2325
02:14:05,120 --> 02:14:07,439
and they will finish
their half-decade trilogy
2326
02:14:07,472 --> 02:14:09,925
that has defined
and shaped women's boxing,
2327
02:14:09,958 --> 02:14:12,411
and it's why there's all this electricity
that you're looking at
2328
02:14:12,444 --> 02:14:14,846
and feeling right now, why cameras are up.
2329
02:14:14,880 --> 02:14:16,598
But in two hours, that'll all be over,
2330
02:14:16,631 --> 02:14:18,834
and the wet cement of history
will become concrete,
2331
02:14:18,867 --> 02:14:21,169
and then we'll all ask what we always ask.
2332
02:14:21,203 --> 02:14:24,406
What's next?
And more to the point, who is next?
2333
02:14:24,923 --> 02:14:27,359
You could very well be looking
at the answer.
2334
02:14:27,392 --> 02:14:31,663
Alycia Baumgardner,
she embraces her walking contradiction.
2335
02:14:31,696 --> 02:14:35,050
She says there's a perfect combo
between beauty and the beast.
2336
02:14:35,083 --> 02:14:37,486
She doesn't care
if you love her or hate her.
2337
02:14:38,053 --> 02:14:40,405
As long as you watch her,
she could be the babyface,
2338
02:14:40,439 --> 02:14:43,809
she could be the heel,
but she will be the one you remember.
2339
02:14:43,842 --> 02:14:46,845
She told me, guys,
very definitively this week,
2340
02:14:46,878 --> 02:14:49,314
this stage was made for her.
2341
02:14:49,881 --> 02:14:53,051
She's got it. She's got the stage tonight.
2342
02:15:17,576 --> 02:15:20,195
Ladies and gentlemen,
2343
02:15:20,729 --> 02:15:25,600
{\an8}this is your co-main event of the evening,

2346
02:15:31,990 --> 02:15:35,610
{\an8}This bout is scheduled
for ten two-minute rounds
2347
02:15:35,644 --> 02:15:38,029
and is for the undisputed
2348
02:15:38,063 --> 02:15:42,484
super featherweight championship
of the world
2349
02:15:42,517 --> 02:15:47,289
sanctioned by the WBO
and its president, Gustavo Olivieri,
2350
02:15:47,322 --> 02:15:50,325
and its supervisor, Beat Poskey.
2351
02:15:50,358 --> 02:15:55,480
The WBC, its president, Mauricio Sulaimán,
and its supervisor, Jill Diamond.
2352
02:15:55,514 --> 02:15:58,533
The WBA,

2353
02:15:58,567 --> 02:16:00,952
and its supervisor, Kina Malpartida.
2354

02:16:04,673 --> 02:16:07,209
and its supervisor, Melvina Lathan.
2356

Guido Cavalleri, Eric Marlinski,
and Waleska Roldan.
2358
02:16:16,368 --> 02:16:19,354
{\an8}And our referee in charge
when the bell rings
2359
02:16:19,387 --> 02:16:21,957
{\an8}is Ricky Gonzalez.
2360
02:16:22,858 --> 02:16:27,395
{\an8}Two warriors, one fight,
who wants it more?
2361
02:16:27,429 --> 02:16:30,532
Introducing first,
fighting out of the red corner,
2362
02:16:30,565 --> 02:16:33,985
the challenger,
wearing the blue, white, and red trunks.
2363
02:16:34,019 --> 02:16:36,855
She stands five feet, six inches tall.
2364
02:16:36,888 --> 02:16:40,709
She weighed in at 129.4 pounds.
2365
02:16:40,742 --> 02:16:46,348
Tonight she enters the ring with a perfect
undefeated professional record
2366
02:16:46,381 --> 02:16:50,619
of 12 victories opposite no defeats
with one of those wins
2367
02:16:50,652 --> 02:16:53,288
coming by way of knockout
2368
02:16:53,321 --> 02:16:58,193
and she fights out of Madrid, España,
2369
02:16:58,226 --> 02:17:03,782
Jennifer Miranda.
2370
02:17:06,334 --> 02:17:08,053
And now her opponent,
2371
02:17:08,637 --> 02:17:13,425
the defending champion fighting out
of the blue corner,
2372
02:17:13,458 --> 02:17:16,261
wearing the black trunks
with gold and red trim.
2373
02:17:16,294 --> 02:17:19,147
She stands five feet, six inches tall.
2374
02:17:19,180 --> 02:17:22,617
She weighed in at 130 pounds.
2375
02:17:22,651 --> 02:17:25,103
She holds
a near perfect professional record
2376
02:17:25,136 --> 02:17:28,356
of 15 victories versus just one defeat
2377
02:17:28,390 --> 02:17:32,944
with seven of those wins
coming by way of knockout.
2378
02:17:32,978 --> 02:17:36,364
And she fights out of Dallas, Texas,
2379
02:17:36,398 --> 02:17:41,086
by way of Fremont, Ohio, USA.
2380
02:17:42,003 --> 02:17:47,792
She is the reigning,
she is the defending, undisputed,
2381
02:17:47,826 --> 02:17:51,513
super featherweight champion
of the world.
2382
02:17:51,546 --> 02:17:54,282
She is The Bomb,
2383
02:17:54,316 --> 02:18:01,306
Alycia Baumgardner.
2384
02:18:24,512 --> 02:18:26,381
Gave you the instructions
in the dressing room.
2385
02:18:26,414 --> 02:18:29,734
I expect a good clean fight.
Protect yourselves at all times.
2386
02:18:29,768 --> 02:18:32,320
Obey my commands at all times.
Touch them up.
2387
02:18:35,540 --> 02:18:38,226
This is not the one people
thought would get super heated
2388
02:18:38,259 --> 02:18:40,962
at the weigh-in, but it did yesterday.
2389
02:18:57,112 --> 02:19:00,348
{\an8}Undisputed super featherweight
title on the line.
2390
02:19:06,554 --> 02:19:08,340
{\an8}Super heated it was yesterday
at the weigh-in
2391
02:19:08,373 --> 02:19:12,243
{\an8}because Alycia Baumgardner
is excited and hyped
2392
02:19:12,277 --> 02:19:13,978
{\an8}and just so ready for this moment.
2393
02:19:15,063 --> 02:19:17,465
{\an8}That's the beautiful thing
about boxing is,
2394
02:19:17,499 --> 02:19:19,851
{\an8}we don't get along, so we gotta get it on.
2395
02:19:19,884 --> 02:19:21,302
{\an8}We gonna fight the next day,
2396
02:19:21,336 --> 02:19:24,606
{\an8}so it's okay to not be in agreement
when we get to fight.
2397
02:19:24,639 --> 02:19:27,475
{\an8}That's the beautiful thing about it.
We're gonna settle it on fight night.
2398
02:19:27,509 --> 02:19:31,513
{\an8}What's the first thing you notice
when you are stepping up in competition?
2399
02:19:32,814 --> 02:19:34,966
{\an8}The moment feels a lot bigger,
2400
02:19:34,999 --> 02:19:36,534
{\an8}as we've been talking
about throughout this night.
2401
02:19:36,568 --> 02:19:39,504
{\an8}You just feel it emotionally.
You just feel it throughout your body.
2402
02:19:39,537 --> 02:19:42,440
{\an8}But that fighter that's across from you,
things are just sharper.
2403
02:19:42,474 --> 02:19:44,726
{\an8}They're just moving effortlessly.
2404
02:19:44,759 --> 02:19:46,728
{\an8}You know, the punches are heavy.
They're sharp.
2405
02:19:46,761 --> 02:19:49,314
{\an8}It just feels different
all the way around.
2406
02:19:49,347 --> 02:19:51,633
{\an8}Now, Alycia Baumgardner
has put a lot of pressure
2407
02:19:51,666 --> 02:19:53,068
{\an8}on herself to perform tonight.
2408
02:19:53,101 --> 02:19:56,488
{\an8}Remember, we talked about that fight
she was in that was stopped after four.
2409
02:19:56,521 --> 02:19:59,891
{\an8}Those are the only four rounds
she has fought in the last two years.
2410
02:20:02,794 --> 02:20:04,963
{\an8}Miranda is normally coming forward
2411
02:20:04,996 --> 02:20:08,500
{\an8}when you watch some of her fights
on YouTube and her previous fights.
2412
02:20:08,533 --> 02:20:11,002
{\an8}She's very cautious right now,
as is Baumgardner.
2413
02:20:11,035 --> 02:20:14,906
{\an8}She's watching and prodding
and looking for shots like that.
2414
02:20:16,825 --> 02:20:20,145
{\an8}I think Miranda definitely has
to remain cautious throughout the fight
2415
02:20:20,178 --> 02:20:22,664
{\an8}because Baumgardner's setting up that shot
2416
02:20:22,697 --> 02:20:25,133
{\an8}and just waiting for it
for an overhand right.
2417
02:20:32,107 --> 02:20:34,392
{\an8}The Baumgardner's also watched the tape
2418
02:20:34,426 --> 02:20:37,095
{\an8}and she knows that Miranda makes mistakes
2419
02:20:37,128 --> 02:20:39,297
{\an8}and one of them is dropping her left hand
2420
02:20:39,330 --> 02:20:42,133
{\an8}which leaves her susceptible
to overhand rights.
2421
02:20:49,124 --> 02:20:51,910
Alycia Baumgardner
not expending a lot of energy,
2422
02:20:51,943 --> 02:20:53,895
a smooth round one feeling it out.
2423
02:21:06,341 --> 02:21:09,494
You stand up a little too high.
Keep that chin tucked.
2424
02:21:11,579 --> 02:21:13,181
Keep that chin tucked.
2425
02:21:13,214 --> 02:21:15,483
And if you keeping that arm out
of there like that,
2426
02:21:15,517 --> 02:21:17,819
keep that arm out,
start hitting it in there.
2427
02:21:17,852 --> 02:21:19,971
Hit it on the inside of it,
on the back of it.
2428
02:21:20,004 --> 02:21:21,906
Hit it in there and make her put it back.
2429
02:21:21,940 --> 02:21:26,110
All right? Keep that jab popping, though.
Keep it popping. Get it going.
2430
02:21:26,144 --> 02:21:28,546
-Need to find that distance.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
2431
02:21:28,580 --> 02:21:29,998
Now you're starting to get this.
2432
02:21:30,031 --> 02:21:32,917
If you keep that arm out there,
start hitting it in there.
2433
02:21:37,505 --> 02:21:40,542
Do I still find distance?
Still find the distance?
2434
02:21:40,575 --> 02:21:42,343
Still want me to find good distance?
2435
02:21:42,377 --> 02:21:44,128
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
2436
02:21:44,162 --> 02:21:47,882
But listen, if you feel comfortable
going in, go in.
2437
02:21:48,700 --> 02:21:51,669
If you feel comfortable going in, go in.
Make her uncomfortable.
2438
02:21:51,703 --> 02:21:53,254
All right, great talk.
2439
02:21:53,938 --> 02:21:57,192
Seniesa, I saw you nodding along
with Derrick James there in the corner.
2440
02:21:57,225 --> 02:22:01,162
{\an8}I believe he told her that
to just punch her anywhere
2441
02:22:01,196 --> 02:22:02,797
{\an8}whether it's the arms or the shoulders,
2442
02:22:02,830 --> 02:22:07,302
{\an8}just to get that-- just to connect
in the beginning and not wait--
2443
02:22:07,335 --> 02:22:08,803
{\an8}wait so much,
2444
02:22:08,836 --> 02:22:12,507
{\an8}You want to feel that, right,
early in a fight, to get yourself in.
2445
02:22:12,540 --> 02:22:14,742
{\an8}Right, you want to be cautious
but you also want to touch
2446
02:22:14,776 --> 02:22:16,678
{\an8}her punches as well.
You could touch the gloves,
2447
02:22:16,711 --> 02:22:18,980
{\an8}you could touch, you know,
the shoulders or the arms.
2448
02:22:20,732 --> 02:22:22,467
{\an8}Good shot right there from Baumgardner.
2449
02:22:22,500 --> 02:22:25,119
{\an8}She's opening up here to start round two.
2450
02:22:25,153 --> 02:22:26,471
{\an8}You see the aggression in her feet.
2451
02:22:26,504 --> 02:22:28,373
{\an8}You see her body language is picked up.
2452
02:22:28,406 --> 02:22:30,992
{\an8}She's pressing forward
because she feels more comfortable.
2453
02:22:31,025 --> 02:22:33,194
{\an8}That right got through. So did that one.
2454
02:22:33,228 --> 02:22:37,232
{\an8}And Miranda stumbles and falls forward.
They are not calling it a knockdown.
2455
02:22:39,634 --> 02:22:41,719
{\an8}But Baumgardner got caught
with her right hand on the way in,
2456
02:22:41,753 --> 02:22:43,004
{\an8}as well in that sequence.
2457
02:22:50,078 --> 02:22:54,532
{\an8}And Jennifer Miranda does
run forward awkwardly with squaring up.
2458
02:22:54,566 --> 02:22:57,769
{\an8}But at the same time,
that could be a difficult thing
2459
02:22:57,802 --> 02:23:00,755
{\an8}for Baumgardner,
so she's got to be cautious about that.
2460
02:23:03,958 --> 02:23:07,028
{\an8}I think Baumgardner's
thinking right hand, right hand,
2461
02:23:07,061 --> 02:23:09,564
{\an8}-right hand, and right hand again.
-Yes.
2462
02:23:09,597 --> 02:23:11,249
{\an8}And if that doesn't work, right hand.
2463
02:23:11,282 --> 02:23:12,350
{\an8}Right hand.
2464
02:23:13,134 --> 02:23:14,335
{\an8}As she throws a hook.
2465
02:23:16,154 --> 02:23:18,923
{\an8}But I think that's what she's looking at
because the eye in the sky doesn't lie.
2466
02:23:18,957 --> 02:23:21,726
{\an8}She's seen the previous fights
from Miranda
2467
02:23:21,759 --> 02:23:24,012
{\an8}and she knows that if I could
just get one of those shots through,
2468
02:23:24,045 --> 02:23:25,280
{\an8}it might end the night.
2469
02:23:25,313 --> 02:23:27,248
{\an8}If you watch Alycia Baumgardner ,
2470
02:23:27,282 --> 02:23:29,584
{\an8}she holds that right hand high
and she is patient with it.
2471
02:23:29,617 --> 02:23:32,370
{\an8}That is her favorite punch
and her best punch.
2472
02:23:33,571 --> 02:23:36,491
{\an8}See her start to squat down
a little bit and start to look, look.
2473
02:23:36,524 --> 02:23:38,543
{\an8}She couldn't get it right there,
but that's what she wants.
2474
02:23:38,576 --> 02:23:39,644
{\an8}There it was.
2475
02:23:41,963 --> 02:23:45,166
{\an8}And the combination.
2476
02:23:49,037 --> 02:23:51,906
Alycia Baumgardner easing her way
into this fight.
2477
02:23:52,940 --> 02:23:56,361
A strong round two.
2478
02:24:09,173 --> 02:24:11,175
It takes more than one fight.
2479
02:24:13,494 --> 02:24:15,046
More than one win…
2480
02:24:19,517 --> 02:24:21,069
to become a legend.
2481
02:24:22,720 --> 02:24:24,088
On September 13th,
2482
02:24:24,122 --> 02:24:28,109
undisputed super middleweight champion,
Canelo Álvarez, puts it all on the line…
2483
02:24:28,860 --> 02:24:32,063
against undefeated super welterweight
champion, Terence Crawford.
2484
02:24:34,766 --> 02:24:36,000
Two champions…
2485
02:24:37,235 --> 02:24:38,319
facing off…
2486
02:24:39,070 --> 02:24:41,255
in a once in a lifetime event.
2487
02:24:45,209 --> 02:24:47,612
Live on Netflix, September 13th.
2488
02:24:49,630 --> 02:24:51,282
She's very uncomfortable.
2489
02:24:59,824 --> 02:25:02,694
{\an8}But Baumgardner, even though
she's looking for the right hand,
2490
02:25:02,727 --> 02:25:05,596
{\an8}Miranda's landed a few right hands
of her own.
2491
02:25:05,630 --> 02:25:08,249
{\an8}She's tough.
She's not just going to lay down.
2492
02:25:08,282 --> 02:25:10,184
{\an8}She's looking to get some action, too.
2493
02:25:10,952 --> 02:25:13,388
{\an8}So, Baumgardner needs to be aware of that.
2494
02:25:18,826 --> 02:25:21,429
{\an8}And Baumgardner needs
to throw her lead hand,
2495
02:25:21,462 --> 02:25:23,815
{\an8}the hand that's closest to the opponent.
2496
02:25:23,848 --> 02:25:25,600
{\an8}Flick it. You don't have to throw it hard.
2497
02:25:25,633 --> 02:25:28,119
{\an8}Sometimes you can throw it hard
and use a power jab.
2498
02:25:28,152 --> 02:25:29,737
{\an8}But if you want the right hand,
2499
02:25:29,771 --> 02:25:33,057
{\an8}pick your left hand up
and start using it more.
2500
02:25:33,091 --> 02:25:35,660
{\an8}Exactly. That will also help her
close the distance to get closer
2501
02:25:35,693 --> 02:25:36,611
{\an8}to land that right hand.
2502
02:25:36,644 --> 02:25:38,663
{\an8}Because she's getting countered
right there when she leads
2503
02:25:38,696 --> 02:25:40,748
{\an8}with the right hand and is over-anxious.
2504
02:25:45,620 --> 02:25:47,138
{\an8}Got to respect your opponent.
2505
02:25:52,009 --> 02:25:55,062
{\an8}Alycia Baumgardner
is wrestling with that dilemma
2506
02:25:55,096 --> 02:25:58,282
{\an8}of trying to be careful,
but wanting and needing,
2507
02:25:58,316 --> 02:26:01,085
{\an8}almost genetically needing
to put on a show here.
2508
02:26:03,838 --> 02:26:05,106
{\an8}And she ate that one.
2509
02:26:10,561 --> 02:26:12,814
{\an8}Good left hook right there.
2510
02:26:17,668 --> 02:26:18,903
{\an8}No, no, no.
2511
02:26:19,921 --> 02:26:21,339
{\an8}She's trying to come in behind that left.
2512
02:26:21,372 --> 02:26:23,257
{\an8}That's what she wants to do.
2513
02:26:23,291 --> 02:26:26,928
{\an8}And Jennifer Miranda has
to continue to roll out to her right.
2514
02:26:26,961 --> 02:26:29,313
{\an8}I mean, roll out so that way, um…
2515
02:26:29,347 --> 02:26:32,049
{\an8}Baumgardner can't set
and land that power right hand.
2516
02:26:32,083 --> 02:26:34,952
{\an8}Tell everybody what you mean
when you say bow out like that.
2517
02:26:34,986 --> 02:26:37,922
{\an8}What I mean by that,
is she needs to keep rolling out away
2518
02:26:37,955 --> 02:26:40,358
{\an8}from that right hand.
So roll out to the right.
2519
02:27:07,251 --> 02:27:09,720
And that chin is up too high, all right?
2520
02:27:09,754 --> 02:27:13,007
Work behind the jab. Boom.
You're trying to relax it.
2521
02:27:13,040 --> 02:27:17,011
Stay composed, stay tight, walk it down.
2522
02:27:17,044 --> 02:27:18,246
Start getting the shot there.
2523
02:27:18,279 --> 02:27:20,114
The only way you're going to be able
to get the right hand in,
2524
02:27:20,147 --> 02:27:22,950
you've got to use the jab to get closer.
All right?
2525
02:27:23,534 --> 02:27:25,586
Start shooting it to the body,
to the side.
2526
02:27:25,620 --> 02:27:27,972
You've got to use the jab to get closer.
2527
02:27:28,005 --> 02:27:31,409
Number four coming up.
Start chopping her down right now.
2528
02:27:32,577 --> 02:27:34,378
You're closing. Huh?
2529
02:27:34,412 --> 02:27:36,030
-Keep going forward.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
2530
02:27:36,063 --> 02:27:37,632
She want it, she want it,
she want it, she want it.
2531
02:27:37,665 --> 02:27:41,102
You're gonna stop her.
Jab and jab and jab here.
2532
02:27:42,186 --> 02:27:45,540
But listen, the only thing you're doing
here is your chin up, right?
2533
02:27:46,040 --> 02:27:49,310
Keep that left up higher, too.
Watch the right hand coming.
2534
02:27:49,343 --> 02:27:51,512
Don't jump on top of it. Get on it.
2535
02:27:56,617 --> 02:27:59,937
We begin round four.
We got Seniesa Estrada here.
2536
02:27:59,971 --> 02:28:02,757
{\an8}We have Andre Ward here, but we
also have the great Laila Ali watching.
2537
02:28:02,790 --> 02:28:05,493
{\an8}-What have you seen through three?
-She's here.
2538
02:28:08,429 --> 02:28:13,367
{\an8}No, I said I see Alycia starting
to get busier in this round.
2539
02:28:17,154 --> 02:28:19,190
{\an8}Yeah, let's see.
If she's getting hit with--
2540
02:28:19,223 --> 02:28:22,226
{\an8}She's getting hit with shots coming
in that she shouldn't be.
2541
02:28:22,827 --> 02:28:23,878
{\an8}But I mean…
2542
02:28:25,663 --> 02:28:28,065
{\an8}But they're picking up now,
so this fight's about to change.
2543
02:28:28,099 --> 02:28:29,467
{\an8}So let's watch.
2544
02:28:32,069 --> 02:28:33,120
{\an8}That we will.
2545
02:28:34,505 --> 02:28:36,340
{\an8}And the reason why
she's getting hit with those shots is,
2546
02:28:36,374 --> 02:28:41,012
{\an8}as Derrick James mentioned to her,
is use that jab to get close.
2547
02:28:41,045 --> 02:28:43,214
{\an8}Don't just try
to reach for that right hand.
2548
02:28:44,699 --> 02:28:46,951
{\an8}The great thing
about that lead hand and that jab is
2549
02:28:46,984 --> 02:28:50,871
{\an8}that it sets up punches,
but it's also a defensive measure.
2550
02:28:50,905 --> 02:28:54,225
{\an8}If you have that hand up,
when Miranda throws her right hand,
2551
02:28:54,258 --> 02:28:57,111
{\an8}it hits glove and it hits arm.
It doesn't hit you on the chin.
2552
02:28:57,144 --> 02:28:59,647
{\an8}And Miranda has landed some shots.
2553
02:28:59,680 --> 02:29:00,648
{\an8}She's landed some shots,
2554
02:29:00,681 --> 02:29:03,634
{\an8}and I haven't seen Baumgardner
make the adjustment yet.
2555
02:29:03,668 --> 02:29:06,237
{\an8}As you see
on Sean Wheelock's unofficial card,
2556
02:29:06,270 --> 02:29:08,055
{\an8}he gave round three to Miranda.
2557
02:29:16,063 --> 02:29:18,933
{\an8}Alycia Baumgardner is trying
to find a different way in here.
2558
02:29:18,966 --> 02:29:20,468
{\an8}She's trying to change levels.
2559
02:29:21,636 --> 02:29:23,004
{\an8}Throwing some body shots.
2560
02:29:23,854 --> 02:29:25,990
{\an8}Yes, as her corner mentioned too,
2561
02:29:26,023 --> 02:29:27,308
{\an8}"Don't stand so straight up,
2562
02:29:27,341 --> 02:29:31,212
{\an8}get low, show a different level,
jab to the body, jab to the head."
2563
02:29:35,666 --> 02:29:37,068
{\an8}Good exchange.
2564
02:29:40,554 --> 02:29:42,873
{\an8}A great exchange there by both ladies.
2565
02:29:45,726 --> 02:29:49,180
{\an8}Jennifer Miranda seems
to be enjoying every second of this.
2566
02:29:49,213 --> 02:29:52,516
She's actually gaining some momentum here
as the fight goes longer.
2567
02:30:01,509 --> 02:30:04,228
Thank you so much, guys.
We are here ringside.
2568
02:30:04,261 --> 02:30:07,198
KiKi Layne, star ofOld Guard 2.
2569
02:30:07,231 --> 02:30:09,266
-Whoo!
-I know that you've been on a press run.
2570
02:30:09,300 --> 02:30:10,785
You've been busy, but you made time.
2571
02:30:10,818 --> 02:30:12,803
-We're here tonight.
-Absolutely.
2572
02:30:12,837 --> 02:30:15,623
How do we feel,
it's a historic card, being a woman,
2573
02:30:15,656 --> 02:30:17,958
I'm a woman,
watching these amazing athletes
2574
02:30:17,992 --> 02:30:19,193
go head-to-head?
2575
02:30:19,226 --> 02:30:22,546
Do we have any predictions,
and how good does it feel to be at MSG?
2576
02:30:22,580 --> 02:30:24,448
Man, it feels amazing.
2577
02:30:24,482 --> 02:30:27,485
Like, tonight, no matter what happens,
it is a dub.
2578
02:30:27,518 --> 02:30:31,639
It's a dub for women's sports.
It's a dub for women, just period.
2579
02:30:31,672 --> 02:30:33,074
I'm so happy to be here.
2580
02:30:33,107 --> 02:30:36,660
Also, boxing was a big part of my training
forThe Old Guard 2,
2581
02:30:36,694 --> 02:30:39,613
so I'm feeling inspired and whatnot,
you know?
2582
02:30:39,647 --> 02:30:41,432
Can I get a little punch real quick?
2583
02:30:41,465 --> 02:30:44,118
I'm like, "Don't play with me," you know?
2584
02:30:44,151 --> 02:30:45,953
I'm like, "This is what I do."
2585
02:30:45,986 --> 02:30:48,773
-Watch out now.
-Not like them, hold on now.
2586
02:30:48,806 --> 02:30:51,559
I don't want to start no problems.
2587
02:30:51,592 --> 02:30:54,662
I love you so much. We're excited.
I'm going to see the film.
2588
02:30:54,695 --> 02:30:57,164
Don't worry, I am going to watch it
because I saw the first one.
2589
02:30:57,198 --> 02:31:00,651
Congratulations on everything.
Go enjoy the rest of the night.
2590
02:31:00,684 --> 02:31:04,822
It's about to go down, I can't wait.
Let's go! Hey!
2591
02:31:06,157 --> 02:31:08,859
That's a good jab right there
from Baumgardner.
2592
02:31:14,782 --> 02:31:17,585
{\an8}You see Baumgardner using the jab more.
2593
02:31:17,618 --> 02:31:20,621
{\an8}She wants a head shot,
but she's starting low
2594
02:31:20,654 --> 02:31:24,325
{\an8}to try to get Miranda's eyes looking low
so she could, say,
2595
02:31:24,909 --> 02:31:27,762
{\an8}go up top and surprise her,
and land a clean shot.
2596
02:31:30,748 --> 02:31:32,583
{\an8}Looking for it again,
I wrote it down, Andre,
2597
02:31:32,616 --> 02:31:35,636
{\an8}what you said earlier,
"Right hand, right hand, right hand,"
2598
02:31:35,669 --> 02:31:37,054
{\an8}and then I forgot. Oh, yeah, "Right hand."
2599
02:31:37,088 --> 02:31:38,606
{\an8}-Mm-hmm.
-Yeah.
2600
02:31:40,324 --> 02:31:43,644
{\an8}But your opponent can see that
and they know that as well.
2601
02:31:44,712 --> 02:31:45,846
{\an8}And you're also fighting--
2602
02:31:45,880 --> 02:31:49,383
{\an8}Jennifer Miranda is an unorthodox fighter
to fight against.
2603
02:31:49,416 --> 02:31:51,435
{\an8}-But she's also extremely tough.
-Yeah.
2604
02:31:51,469 --> 02:31:52,820
{\an8}She's proven that in her previous fights,
2605
02:31:52,853 --> 02:31:54,672
{\an8}and she's proven that tonight.
2606
02:31:54,705 --> 02:31:57,942
{\an8}She may not have as much skill
as Baumgardner or be as polished,
2607
02:31:57,975 --> 02:32:00,427
{\an8}but sometimes, that's not the only thing.
2608
02:32:00,461 --> 02:32:02,897
{\an8}Sometimes it's the intangibles
and your will to win
2609
02:32:02,930 --> 02:32:04,965
{\an8}that overcome skill and ability.
2610
02:32:06,634 --> 02:32:09,587
{\an8}You see Baumgardner switching stances.
2611
02:32:09,620 --> 02:32:12,573
{\an8}The southpaw stance
giving Miranda a different…
2612
02:32:20,281 --> 02:32:22,149
{\an8}Now Baumgardner just quicker.
2613
02:32:26,170 --> 02:32:27,805
{\an8}It's always a little trick fighters do,
2614
02:32:27,838 --> 02:32:30,074
{\an8}if I get you in the headlock,
I'll just squeeze a little bit…
2615
02:32:30,107 --> 02:32:32,343
{\an8}-Just a little bit.
-…wait till the referee comes.
2616
02:32:32,376 --> 02:32:36,764
{\an8}He can't see it.
Veteran tactics from Baumgardner.
2617
02:32:44,538 --> 02:32:46,790
{\an8}Fighting since she was eight years old.
2618
02:32:47,374 --> 02:32:48,576
Good right hand.
2619
02:32:51,745 --> 02:32:52,847
Got a good right hand.
2620
02:32:52,880 --> 02:32:55,432
She's brought the momentum
back to her side.
2621
02:33:03,641 --> 02:33:05,192
"All right, sit, sit."
2622
02:33:12,099 --> 02:33:13,801
"We won this one clearly."
2623
02:33:22,576 --> 02:33:25,579
{\an8}"Put some vaseline on there.
Right here, right here."
2624
02:33:26,564 --> 02:33:28,782
{\an8}"Right there. That's it. Breathe now."
2625
02:33:33,237 --> 02:33:35,906
{\an8}"Jenny, we won this one.
With that aggressiveness, we won it."
2626
02:33:40,010 --> 02:33:43,280
{\an8}"Ruben is yelling at you, huh?
The instructions. Listen."
2627
02:33:43,314 --> 02:33:44,331
{\an8}"And me too."
2628
02:33:45,549 --> 02:33:47,885
{\an8}"Now Breathe. Drink."
2629
02:33:49,570 --> 02:33:50,888
"Aggressive, aggressive."
2630
02:33:57,912 --> 02:33:59,413
If there was any thought
2631
02:33:59,446 --> 02:34:00,764
that Jennifer Miranda
was gonna be intimidated
2632
02:34:00,798 --> 02:34:03,350
{\an8}by the stage or the opponent,
keep this in mind too.
2633
02:34:03,384 --> 02:34:06,153
{\an8}Her professional record may not be dotted
with world champions,
2634
02:34:06,186 --> 02:34:10,608
{\an8}but as an amateur, she fought both,
Katie Taylor and Chantelle Cameron.
2635
02:34:11,942 --> 02:34:14,111
{\an8}Right. She's been in this position before.
2636
02:34:14,144 --> 02:34:15,896
{\an8}She's seen different styles
and has been in there
2637
02:34:15,930 --> 02:34:17,548
{\an8}with a different type of opponent.
2638
02:34:17,581 --> 02:34:21,218
{\an8}So, tonight's her night
to just be able to get that recognition
2639
02:34:21,252 --> 02:34:23,387
{\an8}and be seen coming from Spain.
2640
02:34:23,420 --> 02:34:24,688
{\an8}Man, this is boxing.
2641
02:34:24,722 --> 02:34:27,157
{\an8}This is why at this level
when there's hardware
2642
02:34:27,191 --> 02:34:29,727
{\an8}and big money on the line,
and reputation on the line,
2643
02:34:29,760 --> 02:34:31,195
{\an8}you can't underestimate anybody.
2644
02:34:31,228 --> 02:34:33,397
{\an8}Good exchange right there
from both ladies.
2645
02:34:33,430 --> 02:34:34,965
{\an8}Some landed and some missed.
2646
02:34:36,800 --> 02:34:38,452
{\an8}You gotta take everybody serious.
2647
02:34:38,485 --> 02:34:41,255
{\an8}You can't fight up or down
to the level of competition.
2648
02:34:41,288 --> 02:34:43,290
{\an8}You have to be a professional
at all times.
2649
02:34:43,324 --> 02:34:46,477
{\an8}So, if you get surprised and somebody's--
Ooh, she just missed.
2650
02:34:46,510 --> 02:34:49,346
{\an8}It's better than you thought.
You're ready for it.
2651
02:34:49,380 --> 02:34:52,833
{\an8}And that's the worst feeling
in the ring is being surprised.
2652
02:35:03,694 --> 02:35:06,463
{\an8}Earlier in the fight,
Baumgardner clearly was trying to set up
2653
02:35:06,497 --> 02:35:08,399
{\an8}that overhand right with the left jab.
2654
02:35:08,432 --> 02:35:09,683
{\an8}She's got away from that a little bit.
2655
02:35:09,717 --> 02:35:11,935
{\an8}She was also changing levels
more earlier in the fight,
2656
02:35:11,969 --> 02:35:14,571
{\an8}and now it's become
more of a straight exchange here.
2657
02:35:15,990 --> 02:35:18,976
{\an8}There's some interesting exchanges
from both ladies.
2658
02:35:19,009 --> 02:35:21,312
{\an8}Baumgardner's slightly getting
the best of her,
2659
02:35:21,345 --> 02:35:24,581
{\an8}but Miranda is still putting up
some resistance.
2660
02:35:30,270 --> 02:35:31,638
{\an8}We can feel the crowd in here
2661
02:35:31,672 --> 02:35:35,125
{\an8}getting more than they thought
they were going to get from this fight.
2662
02:35:37,411 --> 02:35:40,881
{\an8}Jennifer Miranda, a huge underdog,
just answering back.
2663
02:35:41,415 --> 02:35:43,450
{\an8}And now she's using the headlock trick.
2664
02:35:45,202 --> 02:35:48,455
{\an8}And as she punches,
she brings her back foot forward,
2665
02:35:48,489 --> 02:35:51,859
which is putting her in that position
to square up and hold.
2666
02:35:51,892 --> 02:35:55,846
The best round by far
of an increasingly compelling fight.
2667
02:36:17,151 --> 02:36:18,569
Off the jab.
2668
02:36:18,602 --> 02:36:20,521
Jab gonna set up everything else.
2669
02:36:20,554 --> 02:36:23,841
{\an8}Listen. Just try to dig in to the body.
2670
02:36:24,375 --> 02:36:28,762
{\an8}Dig into the body.
If she on you, pow, pow, pow!
2671
02:36:28,796 --> 02:36:32,549
{\an8}Right hook.
You hit 'em with your feint set up.
2672
02:36:32,583 --> 02:36:38,038
{\an8}And listen, you work the stick,
the jab gonna get you closer to her.
2673
02:36:38,572 --> 02:36:41,425
{\an8}Man, stay on top of her,
don't let her breathe.
2674
02:36:42,810 --> 02:36:46,280
Do not let her breathe,
Do not let her breathe. It's your show!
2675
02:36:46,313 --> 02:36:49,366
-Yeah.
-Go get what you want. It's your show.
2676
02:36:49,400 --> 02:36:50,601
Go get what you want!
2677
02:36:53,220 --> 02:36:54,338
Earlier in the fight,
2678
02:36:54,371 --> 02:36:57,307
{\an8}Derrick James was encouraging her
to go to the body.
2679
02:36:57,341 --> 02:36:59,276
{\an8}Now he is imploring her to do it.
2680
02:37:00,844 --> 02:37:02,896
{\an8}Yeah, she's gotta go to the body
and she's got to, you know,
2681
02:37:02,930 --> 02:37:06,950
{\an8}just land different punches other than
just trying to look for that right hand.
2682
02:37:06,984 --> 02:37:09,086
{\an8}Because those body shots
are eventually going to set up
2683
02:37:09,119 --> 02:37:10,354
{\an8}that right hand up top.
2684
02:37:10,387 --> 02:37:12,623
{\an8}Now Derrick James
is imploring Baumgardner,
2685
02:37:12,656 --> 02:37:17,394
{\an8}his fighter, to not let Miranda rest.
Press her.
2686
02:37:17,428 --> 02:37:18,996
{\an8}But she's gotta do it smartly
2687
02:37:19,029 --> 02:37:21,915
{\an8}because Miranda's also looking
to land some shots.
2688
02:37:21,949 --> 02:37:22,966
{\an8}And she has.
2689
02:37:28,555 --> 02:37:31,391
{\an8}Speaking of Derrick James,
he's with Ariel.
2690
02:37:31,425 --> 02:37:32,926
{\an8}Derrick, how is she doing out there?
2691
02:37:32,960 --> 02:37:35,846
{\an8}I think she's doing pretty good.
I can hardly see from this angle,
2692
02:37:35,879 --> 02:37:39,466
{\an8}but the pressure she's putting on her
is what I want to see.
2693
02:37:39,500 --> 02:37:41,168
{\an8}What do you want to see more of
in the second--
2694
02:37:41,201 --> 02:37:44,071
{\an8}I want to see more jabs
to get closer to the target.
2695
02:37:44,104 --> 02:37:47,157
{\an8}She's shooting the right hand
a little bit too far from the target,
2696
02:37:47,191 --> 02:37:50,244
{\an8}so I want her to jab, jab, jab,
and start letting the hook go.
2697
02:37:50,277 --> 02:37:53,831
{\an8}'Cause she's breaking it down.
Her face is busting up a little bit.
2698
02:37:54,414 --> 02:37:57,384
{\an8}-But it's like, you gotta get closer.
-Thank you, Coach. Good luck.
2699
02:37:57,417 --> 02:37:59,119
{\an8}Guys?
2700
02:37:59,153 --> 02:38:02,089
{\an8}Right on cue
as you heard Derrick James say that
2701
02:38:02,122 --> 02:38:04,791
{\an8}Baumgardner was pumping that jab
and using it well,
2702
02:38:04,825 --> 02:38:06,276
{\an8}now there's the level change.
2703
02:38:07,461 --> 02:38:09,463
{\an8}Then she came right back up top.
2704
02:38:16,887 --> 02:38:18,422
{\an8}Left hook connected.
2705
02:38:20,641 --> 02:38:24,244
{\an8}Uppercut got through. Well,
Jennifer Miranda has taken all of it.
2706
02:38:27,481 --> 02:38:29,433
{\an8}Jennifer Miranda
taking those punches very well
2707
02:38:29,466 --> 02:38:32,769
{\an8}and coming back with her own.
These have been some great exchanges.
2708
02:38:36,273 --> 02:38:38,342
{\an8}And Baumgardner's gotta get
a rhythm going.
2709
02:38:38,375 --> 02:38:41,778
{\an8}Gotta shoot that jab out there.
As we were saying, keep it out there.
2710
02:38:42,663 --> 02:38:43,964
{\an8}Show different angles.
2711
02:38:46,833 --> 02:38:49,503
{\an8}Seems like Jennifer Miranda
is a difficult opponent to get
2712
02:38:49,536 --> 02:38:52,706
a rhythm against,
and we've had a lot of this as a result.
2713
02:39:00,847 --> 02:39:06,186
"Let's go! Let's go!"
2714
02:39:07,721 --> 02:39:10,574
"Breathe."
2715
02:39:10,607 --> 02:39:13,227
"Just two rounds, two rounds.
Now, breathe."
2716
02:39:15,913 --> 02:39:18,699
"Were you tired?
Are you tired? You gotta work."
2717
02:39:20,734 --> 02:39:22,286
Okay, okay.
2718
02:39:30,227 --> 02:39:32,796
{\an8}Just a tease.
2719
02:39:32,829 --> 02:39:36,283
{\an8}Just a piece of what you're gonna get
when that woman walks to the ring
2720
02:39:36,316 --> 02:39:37,701
{\an8}at Madison Square Garden.
2721
02:39:45,375 --> 02:39:49,563
Every shot we have seen of Amanda tonight,
guys, she is smiling ear to ear.
2722
02:39:50,831 --> 02:39:55,052
How can you not?
On this night, the crowd is going crazy.
2723
02:39:57,704 --> 02:40:00,958
{\an8}And a co-main event
that is over-delivering right now.
2724
02:40:04,811 --> 02:40:08,532
{\an8}Jennifer Miranda has not made it easy
for Alycia Baumgardner.
2725
02:40:25,582 --> 02:40:26,950
{\an8}And still coming forward.
2726
02:40:28,869 --> 02:40:31,688
{\an8}And that's very difficult to stop
2727
02:40:31,722 --> 02:40:36,059
{\an8}is when your opponent falls over
with their back foot
2728
02:40:36,093 --> 02:40:39,112
{\an8}and breaks their stance
because now they're in a strange position
2729
02:40:39,146 --> 02:40:40,347
{\an8}that you're not used to.
2730
02:40:40,380 --> 02:40:43,900
{\an8}They just turned from southpaw--
From orthodox to southpaw.
2731
02:40:52,275 --> 02:40:55,379
{\an8}Left hook to the body, but again,
hands down from Baumgardner.
2732
02:40:55,412 --> 02:40:57,280
{\an8}She caught a pretty good jab.
2733
02:40:58,365 --> 02:41:03,937
{\an8}And Jennifer Miranda
does not switch stances purposely.
2734
02:41:03,970 --> 02:41:06,790
{\an8}She does it just because
her back foot comes forward
2735
02:41:06,823 --> 02:41:09,726
{\an8}and it actually works.
That's something that works for her.
2736
02:41:13,797 --> 02:41:16,433
{\an8}Little fatigue setting in
for both ladies right now.
2737
02:41:16,466 --> 02:41:21,054
{\an8}Their heart is still on ten.
They're still engaging,
2738
02:41:21,088 --> 02:41:24,124
{\an8}and the fatigue is normal
at this stage of a fight.
2739
02:41:27,327 --> 02:41:30,397
{\an8}It was set up to be a night
of star-making performances.
2740
02:41:30,430 --> 02:41:31,865
{\an8}I don't think a lot of people thought
2741
02:41:31,898 --> 02:41:34,601
{\an8}Jennifer Miranda would be one
taking a star turn.
2742
02:41:42,359 --> 02:41:44,444
{\an8}She's still very much in this fight.
2743
02:41:52,436 --> 02:41:56,873
Ooh. Good shot, good counter.
2744
02:42:04,214 --> 02:42:07,617
Lest you think
it will be one-sided in here.
2745
02:42:07,651 --> 02:42:10,287
One of the things that made
three years ago the fight of the year
2746
02:42:10,320 --> 02:42:14,408
{\an8}and made it so special
is that not only did Katie Taylor,
2747
02:42:15,492 --> 02:42:19,946
{\an8}the icon, and Amanda Serrano deliver,
the crowd delivered.
2748
02:42:19,980 --> 02:42:21,014
{\an8}And they will again
2749
02:42:21,047 --> 02:42:24,184
{\an8}because they know they might be seeing
this for the last time
2750
02:42:24,217 --> 02:42:26,403
{\an8}and they know they are a part of history.
2751
02:42:32,943 --> 02:42:36,563
{\an8}That picture over her shoulder
is of Frank Sinatra,
2752
02:42:36,596 --> 02:42:42,903
who was taking pictures in this building
of Ali-Frazier on March 8th, 1971.
2753
02:42:47,424 --> 02:42:50,377
And this night will add to the long list…
2754
02:42:53,196 --> 02:42:55,348
of iconic ones inside this building.
2755
02:43:00,954 --> 02:43:04,157
{\an8}Championship rounds
for the undisputed championship.
2756
02:43:14,718 --> 02:43:18,071
{\an8}And we don't know
how the referees have these rounds scored
2757
02:43:18,104 --> 02:43:20,540
{\an8}so these two championship rounds
are extremely important
2758
02:43:20,574 --> 02:43:24,211
{\an8}for both ladies to go out there
and just show that they want to win.
2759
02:43:24,244 --> 02:43:26,613
{\an8}Because the rounds have been close.
2760
02:43:27,364 --> 02:43:30,433
{\an8}You pile up some very close
ten-nine rounds like Katie Taylor did
2761
02:43:30,467 --> 02:43:32,886
{\an8}in the first fight early,
and that can be everything,
2762
02:43:32,919 --> 02:43:35,822
{\an8}but these have been close rounds,
so you really don't know.
2763
02:43:36,573 --> 02:43:39,426
{\an8}Yeah, I think
a lot of these rounds have been close,
2764
02:43:39,459 --> 02:43:42,295
{\an8}but I think
that Baumgardner has eked them out.
2765
02:43:42,329 --> 02:43:44,998
{\an8}She's had…
She's landed that one or two punches,
2766
02:43:45,031 --> 02:43:49,202
{\an8}that heavier punch that you believe
a judge would give to her.
2767
02:43:49,236 --> 02:43:52,489
{\an8}And Miranda has definitely won some rounds
in her own right,
2768
02:43:52,522 --> 02:43:55,976
{\an8}but as we've said all night long,
you just don't know.
2769
02:44:00,447 --> 02:44:02,699
{\an8}-Just one…
-Good lead right from Miranda.
2770
02:44:02,732 --> 02:44:05,685
{\an8}Yeah, Alycia Baumgardner now
has to forget about the show.
2771
02:44:05,719 --> 02:44:07,187
{\an8}Put on a fight instead.
2772
02:44:37,651 --> 02:44:40,587
{\an8}A story changing as the fight goes on.
2773
02:44:41,872 --> 02:44:43,840
{\an8}What most people thought
would be one sided
2774
02:44:43,874 --> 02:44:45,342
{\an8}has been anything but.
2775
02:44:53,567 --> 02:44:56,703
And we have made it to round ten.
2776
02:45:05,328 --> 02:45:07,664
-You need to stay on top of her.
-Yeah.
2777
02:45:09,599 --> 02:45:12,535
You need to stay busy. You got to.
2778
02:45:13,236 --> 02:45:16,389
You're too wild. Stay on top of her.
Keep your hands up.
2779
02:45:16,423 --> 02:45:20,810
Do not relax, 'cause you've been relaxing.
No, you got to stay, okay?
2780
02:45:20,844 --> 02:45:24,197
Do not relax. Do not relax, you know?
Stay on top of her.
2781
02:45:24,230 --> 02:45:29,169
Work behind the jab. Keep your hook,
body tap. Keep it right over the top.
2782
02:45:31,588 --> 02:45:35,575
These are the kind of exchanges
we've seen all night where the crazy shot
2783
02:45:35,609 --> 02:45:38,478
that lands, a big shot,
two, three shots land for Miranda.
2784
02:45:38,511 --> 02:45:40,714
And then here comes Baumgardner
with her own shot.
2785
02:45:40,747 --> 02:45:41,898
Some landed, some didn't.
2786
02:45:41,932 --> 02:45:45,051
But in real time,
good shot right there for Miranda.
2787
02:45:45,085 --> 02:45:46,987
A judge may count a punch…
2788
02:45:47,020 --> 02:45:49,673
…that didn't land as if it did land
2789
02:45:49,706 --> 02:45:52,692
because we have the benefit of replay,
they don't.
2790
02:45:53,543 --> 02:45:56,997
This is the final round.
2791
02:46:03,403 --> 02:46:06,339
{\an8}Why not lay it all on the line right now?
2792
02:46:06,373 --> 02:46:09,592
{\an8}Baumgardner can't risk losing her belts,
2793
02:46:09,626 --> 02:46:13,013
{\an8}and Miranda does not want
to risk this opportunity.
2794
02:46:13,046 --> 02:46:14,030
{\an8}She may never get it again.
2795
02:46:14,064 --> 02:46:16,466
{\an8}It is just too close
for Alycia Baumgardner
2796
02:46:16,499 --> 02:46:19,669
{\an8}to take any kind of chances.
That score is probably right.
2797
02:46:19,703 --> 02:46:23,356
{\an8}It's probably the way it's going,
but you just don't know, it's close enough
2798
02:46:23,390 --> 02:46:25,692
{\an8}that Baumgardner now has to let it all go.
2799
02:46:31,247 --> 02:46:32,182
{\an8}Like that.
2800
02:46:40,807 --> 02:46:44,361
{\an8}Referee having to earn his money
in these last few rounds.
2801
02:46:44,394 --> 02:46:47,313
{\an8}Sweating a little bit. I see you, ref.
2802
02:46:48,331 --> 02:46:51,334
{\an8}A brawl that carried over
from the weigh-in yesterday.
2803
02:46:55,739 --> 02:46:59,559
{\an8}Both ladies bringing the heat
in this final championship round.
2804
02:47:01,695 --> 02:47:03,697
{\an8}Alycia Baumgardner got a left in.
2805
02:47:04,247 --> 02:47:07,150
{\an8}Now, the combinations.
Now, she's letting her hands go.
2806
02:47:07,183 --> 02:47:09,736
{\an8}Yeah, that kind of stuff
right there, that's not taught.
2807
02:47:09,769 --> 02:47:12,655
{\an8}You either have that deep down
on the inside or you don't.
2808
02:47:15,892 --> 02:47:18,495
{\an8}Stop, stop, stop. Stop, stop.
2809
02:47:20,613 --> 02:47:24,100
{\an8}The undisputed champion
has been taken into the tenth round,
2810
02:47:24,134 --> 02:47:26,636
{\an8}but she is finishing strong.
One more warning.
2811
02:47:27,337 --> 02:47:28,588
{\an8}And then the final 30.
2812
02:47:33,877 --> 02:47:36,096
{\an8}No turn in Miranda all night long.
2813
02:47:37,013 --> 02:47:39,299
{\an8}Not intimidated by the moment at all.
2814
02:47:40,633 --> 02:47:44,087
{\an8}Baumgardner has looked like
the undisputed champion in this fight.
2815
02:47:44,120 --> 02:47:46,539
{\an8}I think that there's been even moments,
like I've said,
2816
02:47:46,573 --> 02:47:49,559
{\an8}but I think she's eked out
the majority of those moments,
2817
02:47:49,592 --> 02:47:51,694
{\an8}even though Miranda's
having one right now.
2818
02:47:53,997 --> 02:47:56,900
What a fight. What a finish.
2819
02:48:05,875 --> 02:48:08,578
Good fight. Very, very, very good fight.
2820
02:48:21,407 --> 02:48:24,160
Alycia Baumgardner pushed to the limit,
2821
02:48:24,194 --> 02:48:26,880
did she do enough to remain champ?
2822
02:48:26,913 --> 02:48:28,998
We'll find out next.
2823
02:48:35,755 --> 02:48:37,223
There's virtually no one
2824
02:48:37,257 --> 02:48:39,275
outside the people
you're looking at right now
2825
02:48:39,309 --> 02:48:43,079
that thought Jennifer Miranda
could even make this a competitive fight,
2826
02:48:43,113 --> 02:48:45,482
let alone have a chance to steal it.
2827
02:48:45,515 --> 02:48:47,417
She certainly has done that.
2828
02:48:47,450 --> 02:48:50,887
Made it such a competitive
and entertaining fight.
2829
02:48:50,920 --> 02:48:53,807
And you know, as we mentioned,
we don't know how the judges have them.
2830
02:48:53,840 --> 02:48:56,976
We don't know
how they were scoring the fight.
2831
02:48:57,010 --> 02:49:01,347
You know, Baumgardner did land
the bigger, more powerful shots.
2832
02:49:06,152 --> 02:49:09,022
And here we see
the exchanges that both ladies…
2833
02:49:11,858 --> 02:49:14,694
Miranda continuing to fight
and throwing her combination.
2834
02:49:14,727 --> 02:49:17,964
But Baumgardner lands her,
left hook there,
2835
02:49:17,997 --> 02:49:19,816
followed by a right hand.
2836
02:49:23,052 --> 02:49:26,206
And then just the great exchanges
overall throughout the fight.
2837
02:49:29,809 --> 02:49:33,029
And as we were wowed and dazzled
2838
02:49:33,062 --> 02:49:39,419
by the performance of Miranda
as a monumental underdog,
2839
02:49:39,452 --> 02:49:41,504
the fact is she took more shots.
2840
02:49:41,538 --> 02:49:45,058
I mean, Alycia Baumgardner won a lot
of these rounds with these combinations.
2841
02:49:45,091 --> 02:49:47,610
I think people were surprised
to see Miranda being able to take it,
2842
02:49:47,644 --> 02:49:48,928
but that doesn't mean she won the round.
2843
02:49:48,962 --> 02:49:50,180
That's right. You don't win a fight
2844
02:49:50,213 --> 02:49:52,398
because you do better
than we thought you were gonna do.
2845
02:49:52,432 --> 02:49:55,785
You have to score the points,
and I think Baumgardner did most of that.
2846
02:49:55,818 --> 02:49:58,705
But credit to Miranda,
credit to both ladies.
2847
02:49:58,738 --> 02:50:00,240
Very, very good fight.
2848
02:50:00,273 --> 02:50:03,026
The right spot as a co-main
before our main event.
2849
02:50:03,560 --> 02:50:06,846
There were places you had to bet
40 dollars to win one
2850
02:50:06,880 --> 02:50:08,698
on Alycia Baumgardner in this fight.
2851
02:50:08,731 --> 02:50:12,919
That's the degree of underdog
that Jennifer Miranda was cast as,
2852
02:50:12,952 --> 02:50:17,273
because, listen, if you don't watch
Netflix in Spain and watchMoney Heist,
2853
02:50:17,307 --> 02:50:20,059
you may not know
the name Jennifer Miranda. You do now.
2854
02:51:10,526 --> 02:51:12,095
An unforgettable night.
2855
02:51:12,128 --> 02:51:14,264
It is getting better
and better and better.
2856
02:51:14,297 --> 02:51:18,601
Baumgardner, Miranda go the distance.
Big Mo has the answer to the puzzle.
2857
02:51:20,303 --> 02:51:22,555
Ladies and gentlemen.
2858
02:51:23,473 --> 02:51:26,109
After ten full championship rounds,
2859
02:51:26,142 --> 02:51:29,245
we go to the judges' scorecard
for the official decision.
2860
02:51:29,846 --> 02:51:34,917
Judges Guido Cavalleri and Waleska Roldan
see the contest 98 to 92,
2861
02:51:34,951 --> 02:51:39,839
while Judge Eric Marlinski
sees it 97 to 93,
2862
02:51:39,872 --> 02:51:43,109
declaring your winner
by unanimous decision.
2863
02:51:44,093 --> 02:51:49,515
And still the undisputed…
2864
02:51:49,549 --> 02:51:55,722
…super featherweight champion
of the world,
2865
02:51:55,755 --> 02:51:58,057
"The Bomb,"
2866
02:51:58,091 --> 02:52:05,081
Alycia Baumgardner!
2867
02:52:11,587 --> 02:52:17,810
The Bomb threw enough of them
to survive and still…
2868
02:52:17,844 --> 02:52:20,013
And maybe when it's all said and done,
2869
02:52:20,046 --> 02:52:22,982
she'll be better off for the test
she just got taken through.
2870
02:52:23,016 --> 02:52:26,035
Alycia Baumgardner is with Ariel.
2871
02:52:26,069 --> 02:52:27,403
Thank you very much, Sean.
2872
02:52:27,437 --> 02:52:30,039
We've got all this gold here
for the undisputed champ,
2873
02:52:30,073 --> 02:52:32,992
Alycia Baumgardner.
Alycia, congratulations on the win,
2874
02:52:33,026 --> 02:52:36,012
considering the fact
that you had just fought four rounds
2875
02:52:36,045 --> 02:52:38,231
in the span
of two years heading into this fight.
2876
02:52:38,264 --> 02:52:39,632
How do you think you did tonight?
2877
02:52:39,665 --> 02:52:45,154
You know, I definitely give myself a B+.
It wasn't my best performance,
2878
02:52:45,188 --> 02:52:46,706
but I'm just happy to be in the ring
2879
02:52:46,739 --> 02:52:50,143
with such a long layoff
and just be able to get those rounds in.
2880
02:52:50,176 --> 02:52:52,111
Was she tougher
than you thought she would be?
2881
02:52:52,145 --> 02:52:54,130
She was smarter.
She was a smarter fighter.
2882
02:52:54,163 --> 02:52:55,698
She had a good game plan.
2883
02:52:55,732 --> 02:52:58,067
How soon do you want to return,
given the layoff,
2884
02:52:58,101 --> 02:52:59,836
given the inactivity as of late?
2885
02:52:59,869 --> 02:53:02,271
Listen, I want to be right back.
No time off.
2886
02:53:03,206 --> 02:53:05,608
Guys, give it up
for the undisputed champion,
2887
02:53:05,641 --> 02:53:10,413
Alycia "The Bomb" Baumgardner,
congratulations.
2888
02:53:15,435 --> 02:53:20,106
Yes, thank you very much, Ariel.
Alycia Baumgardner stays undisputed.
2889
02:53:20,139 --> 02:53:22,225
All those belts look nice, don't they?
2890
02:53:22,258 --> 02:53:25,178
Kate Scott here
with the legendary Laila Ali.
2891
02:53:25,211 --> 02:53:26,963
I want to get your thoughts
on this one, Laila,
2892
02:53:26,996 --> 02:53:30,032
because it was one of those fights
where you knew who was winning,
2893
02:53:30,066 --> 02:53:31,567
but it was tough.
2894
02:53:31,601 --> 02:53:33,269
Yeah, it was definitely tougher
2895
02:53:33,302 --> 02:53:35,288
than I think
Alycia thought it was going to be.
2896
02:53:35,321 --> 02:53:37,740
I think she was waiting more
than she should have.
2897
02:53:37,774 --> 02:53:40,159
She didn't really get into a rhythm
'cause I think she really wanted
2898
02:53:40,193 --> 02:53:42,695
to put on a great show
and get a knockout, right?
2899
02:53:42,728 --> 02:53:44,864
And Miranda turned out to be scrappy.
2900
02:53:44,897 --> 02:53:48,217
{\an8}I mean, ranging, she was using that ring
and she was there to fight.
2901
02:53:48,251 --> 02:53:50,103
{\an8}And it just wasn't an easy fight for her.
2902
02:53:50,136 --> 02:53:51,988
{\an8}And she said she gave herself a B+,
but I bet
2903
02:53:52,021 --> 02:53:54,624
{\an8}that she's going to go home
and really think, "No, that was a C."
2904
02:53:54,657 --> 02:53:56,242
{\an8}-I think she can do better.
-Oh, okay.
2905
02:53:56,275 --> 02:53:58,761
{\an8}I'm saying for her,
but she did a great job.
2906
02:53:58,795 --> 02:54:00,847
-Right. I feel you. Yes, definitely.
-Yeah.
2907
02:54:00,880 --> 02:54:04,600
Gets the win, stays undisputed,
has to be a good evening to some extent.
2908
02:54:04,634 --> 02:54:06,385
What do you want to see her do next?
2909
02:54:06,419 --> 02:54:08,771
Would you like to see her defend
the belts once again?
2910
02:54:08,805 --> 02:54:10,406
She says she wants
to get out there quickly.
2911
02:54:10,440 --> 02:54:12,308
Do you want to see her move up,
collect some other belts?
2912
02:54:12,341 --> 02:54:16,195
{\an8}I hold the bar so high for her,
and she does for herself as well.
2913
02:54:16,229 --> 02:54:17,697
{\an8}She's an amazing fighter.
2914
02:54:17,730 --> 02:54:21,868
{\an8}And that's why I said,
for her, that was, for anybody else,
2915
02:54:21,901 --> 02:54:23,820
{\an8}you know what I mean,
that was a great performance.
2916
02:54:23,853 --> 02:54:26,155
{\an8}But I think that when she watches it,
she's going to say,
2917
02:54:26,189 --> 02:54:28,391
{\an8}"Okay, I should have
gotten my rhythm a little sooner."
2918
02:54:28,424 --> 02:54:29,408
{\an8}You know what I mean?
2919
02:54:29,442 --> 02:54:31,711
{\an8}Because she wanted
to put on a great performance.
2920
02:54:31,744 --> 02:54:35,281
{\an8}And this probably wasn't her best, even
though it was a good performance.
2921
02:54:35,314 --> 02:54:36,849
{\an8}And we do know how good she is, right?
2922
02:54:36,883 --> 02:54:39,168
{\an8}Technically, very sound,
got that power as well.
2923
02:54:39,202 --> 02:54:41,988
{\an8}-She's a pleasing fighter to watch.
-I love her.
2924
02:54:42,021 --> 02:54:44,557
Like, I love her as a fighter.
And that's why I'm saying what I say.
2925
02:54:44,590 --> 02:54:47,109
I mean, every time I watch myself,
don't get me wrong,
2926
02:54:47,143 --> 02:54:49,512
I used to go back and look
at the things that I did wrong,
2927
02:54:49,545 --> 02:54:51,714
the things that I could work on.
You know what I'm saying?
2928
02:54:51,747 --> 02:54:53,115
-Yes.
-You can't get impressed with yourself.
2929
02:54:53,149 --> 02:54:54,717
And that's what
I meant when I said her going
2930
02:54:54,750 --> 02:54:56,719
-to be judging herself. Yeah.
-No, I understand you totally. Yes.
2931
02:54:56,752 --> 02:54:59,288
Somebody who is that elite
expects a lot of themselves,
2932
02:54:59,322 --> 02:55:00,740
as Alycia Baumgardner does.
2933
02:55:00,773 --> 02:55:03,609
Okay, so, everybody,
we are now three fights down.
2934
02:55:03,643 --> 02:55:06,712
There is one to go,
and we've saved the best for last for you.
2935
02:55:06,746 --> 02:55:08,130
Up next is our main event,
2936
02:55:08,164 --> 02:55:11,684
the third installment
of the epic Taylor vs. Serrano trilogy.
2937
02:55:11,717 --> 02:55:14,153
The first two fights
were incredibly close,
2938
02:55:14,187 --> 02:55:15,838
and for some, controversial.
2939
02:55:15,872 --> 02:55:18,191
Tonight, they can settle that score.
2940
02:55:18,224 --> 02:55:22,778
For Taylor, this is about vindication.
For Serrano, it's revenge and redemption.
2941
02:55:26,699 --> 02:55:28,451
What makes a rivalry?
2942
02:55:29,468 --> 02:55:34,507
{\an8}Two strong opposing forces,
both seeking an edge,
2943
02:55:34,540 --> 02:55:37,176
{\an8}neither giving an inch.
2944
02:55:38,694 --> 02:55:42,181
The Taylor-Serrano rivalry
was born right here
2945
02:55:42,215 --> 02:55:46,352
in this city, this arena, this ring.
2946
02:55:46,385 --> 02:55:48,671
Ali and Frazier would be proud of this!
2947
02:55:48,704 --> 02:55:52,858
Where ten rounds led
to a disputed split decision.
2948
02:55:56,679 --> 02:55:59,115
And then, a rematch.
2949
02:55:59,732 --> 02:56:03,352
Round two in Texas,
where they went the distance again.
2950
02:56:03,386 --> 02:56:06,539
-And there again!
-Nice shot! Nice shot!
2951
02:56:06,572 --> 02:56:11,260
A second clash of styles,
of heads and wills.
2952
02:56:11,294 --> 02:56:14,664
Hey, stop, stop.
That's a headbutt. Don't do it again.
2953
02:56:14,697 --> 02:56:17,083
-No!
-We've had four headbutts.
2954
02:56:17,850 --> 02:56:21,721
Katie Taylor, one of the most
decorated fighters of all time.
2955
02:56:22,688 --> 02:56:26,759
But some see an asterisk
next to those two significant wins
2956
02:56:26,792 --> 02:56:30,980
-by decision over Serrano.
-My God!
2957
02:56:31,013 --> 02:56:34,116
How does one rob Amanda Serrano
2958
02:56:34,150 --> 02:56:36,953
after a performance like that?
2959
02:56:38,120 --> 02:56:40,856
I can walk away from this trilogy,
three-nil,
2960
02:56:40,890 --> 02:56:42,525
and then all the talking stops.
2961
02:56:43,192 --> 02:56:44,644
Amanda Serrano,
2962
02:56:45,311 --> 02:56:50,082
owner of an unprecedented
nine world titles in seven weight classes.
2963
02:56:50,683 --> 02:56:53,669
Like Taylor,
she's a surefire Hall of Famer.
2964
02:56:54,620 --> 02:56:58,457
But the scorecards
have turned against her twice.
2965
02:56:58,491 --> 02:57:03,579
Tonight, she gets a third chance,
and it may be her last.
2966
02:57:03,613 --> 02:57:07,133
I just can't wait to keep
Katie Taylor's name out my mouth.
2967
02:57:07,166 --> 02:57:08,384
What makes a rivalry?
2968
02:57:09,251 --> 02:57:13,439
Two opponents willing to fight
again and again
2969
02:57:14,223 --> 02:57:19,111
until one finally stands alone.
2970
02:57:20,680 --> 02:57:21,814
Katie Taylor.
2971
02:57:22,515 --> 02:57:24,216
Amanda Serrano.
2972
02:57:24,750 --> 02:57:25,785
Now.
2973
02:57:50,760 --> 02:57:54,246
Oh, we are just moments away now
from our main event.
2974
02:57:54,280 --> 02:57:57,400
We last saw Taylor and Serrano
when they stole the show
2975
02:57:57,433 --> 02:58:00,536
the night that Jake Paul and Mike Tyson
squared off in Texas.
2976
02:58:00,569 --> 02:58:02,872
Tonight, they are the show.
2977
02:58:02,905 --> 02:58:06,459
{\an8}And in just a few moments,
they're going to meet for a third time.
2978
02:58:06,492 --> 02:58:10,179
{\an8}But first, Kevin Hart is in the building
with Sibley Scoles.
2979
02:58:11,530 --> 02:58:16,185
All right, we're ringside,
Madison Square Garden is loud right now!
2980
02:58:16,218 --> 02:58:19,455
Kevin Hart, ringside,
how we feeling about this fight?
2981
02:58:19,488 --> 02:58:22,508
{\an8}I'm loving it. Amazing action.
2982
02:58:22,541 --> 02:58:24,877
{\an8}More importantly, great entertainment.
2983
02:58:24,910 --> 02:58:26,829
{\an8}You know, I love to see them put on.
2984
02:58:26,862 --> 02:58:28,664
{\an8}I love to see the fans show up.
2985
02:58:28,698 --> 02:58:32,017
{\an8}And more importantly, the talent show out.
It's a big day for women.
2986
02:58:32,051 --> 02:58:34,236
{\an8}Big day for women.
Kevin, are you having a good time?
2987
02:58:34,270 --> 02:58:36,639
I'm having a great time. A great time.
2988
02:58:36,672 --> 02:58:39,542
-That's the only way to better define it.
-Enjoy yourself. Thank you.
2989
02:58:39,575 --> 02:58:41,377
Always. Excited for the main event.
2990
02:58:41,410 --> 02:58:44,063
Shouts out to everybody watching.
Shouts out to Netflix.
2991
02:58:44,096 --> 02:58:45,865
-Shouts out to you.
-Thank you, Kevin.
2992
02:58:45,898 --> 02:58:49,185
{\an8}-Always. See you later.
-You have a good night. Back to you guys.
2993
02:58:49,218 --> 02:58:51,337
{\an8}Yes, yes. Good to see everybody
turn out for this one.
2994
02:58:51,370 --> 02:58:54,256
{\an8}Hey, everybody. Good to have you
with us for this huge night of boxing.
2995
02:58:54,290 --> 02:58:58,794
{\an8}Kate Scott with Hall of Famer Laila Ali.
We are now down to the main event.
2996
02:58:58,828 --> 02:59:02,047
{\an8}Katie Taylor against Amanda Serrano
for the third time.
2997
02:59:02,081 --> 02:59:04,316
Amanda, this week,
repeatedly we've heard her talk about
2998
02:59:04,350 --> 02:59:07,169
the fact that, "I need this one."
That's what she's been saying.
2999
02:59:07,203 --> 02:59:09,221
She's lost two such close fights.
3000
02:59:09,255 --> 02:59:12,174
To lose a third one would leave
this feeling unresolved,
3001
02:59:12,208 --> 02:59:14,009
-I imagine, forever.
-Absolutely.
3002
02:59:14,043 --> 02:59:16,979
I mean, nobody would want
to lose three times,
3003
02:59:17,012 --> 02:59:20,449
especially since she felt
like she won the first two fights.
3004
02:59:20,483 --> 02:59:23,819
So I'm just hoping that tonight
she's going to do something different.
3005
02:59:23,853 --> 02:59:25,955
Andre and I have both been saying
3006
02:59:25,988 --> 02:59:28,124
that they need to fight smarter,
not harder.
3007
02:59:28,157 --> 02:59:31,076
You cannot fight any harder
than they have fought.
3008
02:59:31,110 --> 02:59:33,312
You cannot show any more heart.
3009
02:59:33,345 --> 02:59:34,930
You can't throw more punches.
3010
02:59:34,964 --> 02:59:38,484
So you have to be smarter as a fighter,
change up your game plan.
3011
02:59:38,517 --> 02:59:39,969
Their teams are both going to tell them
3012
02:59:40,002 --> 02:59:41,604
in their corner the things
that they should be doing
3013
02:59:41,637 --> 02:59:43,906
that they're not necessarily
listening to in the fight.
3014
02:59:43,939 --> 02:59:49,011
So maybe this time
they will have trained and stay focused.
3015
02:59:49,044 --> 02:59:50,930
You know, stay on your game and,
3016
02:59:50,963 --> 02:59:54,016
you know, separate yourself
so that it's clear for the judges.
3017
02:59:54,049 --> 02:59:56,118
Well, fight smarter
in this instant for Katie.
3018
02:59:56,152 --> 02:59:58,387
You thought that that meant box
and move for Amanda.
3019
02:59:58,420 --> 03:00:01,891
It meant stay calm, pick your shots
when you have the opportunities.
3020
03:00:01,924 --> 03:00:05,928
How hard is it to stick to a game plan
in an atmosphere like this?
3021
03:00:05,961 --> 03:00:07,730
It really depends on the fighter.
3022
03:00:07,763 --> 03:00:11,717
I mean, if someone has a certain
skill set, you know they can do it.
3023
03:00:11,750 --> 03:00:14,336
That's not like asking someone to do
something that they can't do
3024
03:00:14,370 --> 03:00:16,255
that they've never done.
You know what I'm saying?
3025
03:00:16,288 --> 03:00:19,525
I think the thing with Katie is that
she has these amazing skills
3026
03:00:19,558 --> 03:00:22,895
to use her distance, her speed,
her eyes, and her legs,
3027
03:00:22,928 --> 03:00:25,831
but she likes to fight.
She's got that Irish in her.
3028
03:00:25,865 --> 03:00:27,183
She likes to sit there and fight.
3029
03:00:27,216 --> 03:00:29,768
So because she likes it, she's going
to do what she wants to do.
3030
03:00:29,802 --> 03:00:32,321
And in her mind, she wants to show Amanda
3031
03:00:32,354 --> 03:00:34,757
those times she kept saying
she has never felt my power.
3032
03:00:34,790 --> 03:00:37,443
She's like, "Oh, I'm feeling your power.
I'm still right here in front of you."
3033
03:00:37,476 --> 03:00:39,512
So it's mental, too, right?
3034
03:00:39,545 --> 03:00:41,113
And Amanda, on the other hand,
3035
03:00:41,146 --> 03:00:43,749
I've heard her say Katie leads
with her head and all these things,
3036
03:00:43,782 --> 03:00:45,835
so I'm hoping that she's gonna
make some adjustments.
3037
03:00:45,868 --> 03:00:47,586
Step back, throw some uppercuts.
3038
03:00:47,620 --> 03:00:49,088
You know what I'm saying?
She's dropping in.
3039
03:00:49,121 --> 03:00:51,891
She's not intentionally
leading with her head,
3040
03:00:51,924 --> 03:00:54,560
but her style in there with a righty and,
3041
03:00:54,593 --> 03:00:56,745
you know, a southpaw
and a right-handed person,
3042
03:00:56,779 --> 03:00:58,347
that's what happens.
You have a clash of heads.
3043
03:00:58,380 --> 03:01:01,033
But Katie does lean in,
not that she's doing it on purpose.
3044
03:01:01,066 --> 03:01:03,669
So I would take advantage of that.
That's what we mean by be smart.
3045
03:01:03,702 --> 03:01:05,371
You gotta drop that uppercut.
3046
03:01:05,404 --> 03:01:09,074
Prediction, do we get a result
this time without controversy?
3047
03:01:09,108 --> 03:01:10,726
I don't know. I mean, who can say?
3048
03:01:10,759 --> 03:01:12,695
Only way I can tell you
what's going to happen
3049
03:01:12,728 --> 03:01:15,314
is if I was in there.
That's the only way I can tell you.
3050
03:01:15,347 --> 03:01:17,933
But I can't. I'm not them.
I'm not in their head.
3051
03:01:17,967 --> 03:01:21,487
But if it was me, I would say I'm getting
a knockout, 100%.
3052
03:01:21,520 --> 03:01:23,172
One hundred percent,
that's what I would say.
3053
03:01:23,205 --> 03:01:25,524
But it's not me, so we gotta see.
3054
03:01:25,558 --> 03:01:27,009
We will see very soon.
3055
03:01:27,042 --> 03:01:30,312
Tonight, in our main event,
we're gonna see the final chapter
3056
03:01:30,346 --> 03:01:33,182
between two all-time
great fighters who have already
3057
03:01:33,215 --> 03:01:37,386
fought two unforgettable battles
as we count down to their third.
3058
03:01:37,419 --> 03:01:40,639
Let's take a look back
at Taylor vs. Serrano 1 and 2,
3059
03:01:40,673 --> 03:01:42,191
presented by Levi's.
3060
03:01:47,596 --> 03:01:52,184
Good evening and welcome
to the world's most famous arena!
3061
03:01:53,519 --> 03:01:57,439
Oh, that's a right from Katie
which buckled the knees of Serrano.
3062
03:01:57,473 --> 03:02:00,192
Katie Taylor is hurt!
Katie Taylor is hurt!
3063
03:02:00,225 --> 03:02:02,161
She's holding on for dear life!
3064
03:02:02,194 --> 03:02:05,230
But you can never count out Katie Taylor!
3065
03:02:05,264 --> 03:02:07,199
I don't really care
about being hurt in the fifth round,
3066
03:02:07,232 --> 03:02:08,517
I actually won the sixth round,
3067
03:02:08,550 --> 03:02:10,569
I actually won
the second half of that fight.
3068
03:02:10,603 --> 03:02:12,187
You know, Katie isn't just
winning these rounds,
3069
03:02:12,221 --> 03:02:14,189
she's winning them definitively!
3070
03:02:14,223 --> 03:02:16,742
I believed I edged her out
a couple of rounds.
3071
03:02:16,775 --> 03:02:18,994
So when it's close fights,
you just don't know.
3072
03:02:19,028 --> 03:02:20,496
It's like heads or tails.
3073
03:02:20,529 --> 03:02:26,168
Look at these two go at it!
A fight worthy of the occasion!
3074
03:02:26,201 --> 03:02:28,938
They fought for history,
and they're making history.
3075
03:02:32,758 --> 03:02:37,012
The female fight of the year!
Who won? I do not know.
3076
03:02:37,046 --> 03:02:41,900
The winner by split decision and still
3077
03:02:41,934 --> 03:02:47,189
the undisputed lightweight
champion of the world!
3078
03:02:47,222 --> 03:02:52,361
Katie Taylor!
3079
03:02:52,394 --> 03:02:55,364
Both women fought their hearts out.
This is a historic moment.
3080
03:02:55,397 --> 03:02:58,617
I thought Amanda Serrano took it,
and let's run it back.
3081
03:02:58,651 --> 03:03:00,202
The second fight
just got a whole lot bigger.
3082
03:03:00,235 --> 03:03:04,707
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
it is time for the rematch.
3083
03:03:05,708 --> 03:03:09,161
-And there it goes!
-Nice shot! Nice shot!
3084
03:03:09,194 --> 03:03:11,964
Here in round one, Serrano!
3085
03:03:11,997 --> 03:03:14,933
You have ebbs and flows
in every single big fight.
3086
03:03:14,967 --> 03:03:18,887
I went back to my corner clear-headed,
and I'm able to adjust.
3087
03:03:18,921 --> 03:03:20,639
Then there comes the headbutt.
3088
03:03:20,673 --> 03:03:22,992
There's an issue with Taylor's body line.
3089
03:03:23,025 --> 03:03:25,277
I think that was from a headbutt.
3090
03:03:25,310 --> 03:03:28,614
Hey, stop. Stop. That's a headbutt.
Don't do it again.
3091
03:03:28,647 --> 03:03:32,317
That cut has suddenly
become a major issue.
3092
03:03:32,351 --> 03:03:34,370
-I want the doctor.
-Can you continue?
3093
03:03:35,154 --> 03:03:37,706
I'd never been hurt that bad in a fight.
3094
03:03:37,740 --> 03:03:40,292
I actually, like, blacked out.
3095
03:03:40,325 --> 03:03:44,113
Every person in the stadium
is on its feet.
3096
03:03:44,146 --> 03:03:49,301
Taylor and Serrano
puts on a epic encounter!
3097
03:03:49,334 --> 03:03:53,422
What more do you want
from professional boxing?
3098
03:03:53,455 --> 03:03:56,392
Simply incredible.
3099
03:03:57,543 --> 03:04:04,349
And still the undisputed super lightweight
3100
03:04:04,383 --> 03:04:11,156
champion of the world, Katie Taylor!
3101
03:04:19,898 --> 03:04:22,618
And now, the story comes full circle,
3102
03:04:22,651 --> 03:04:25,471
returning to where it began at the Garden.
3103
03:04:25,504 --> 03:04:28,357
The two women that broke
every barrier there is to break,
3104
03:04:28,390 --> 03:04:31,994
but haven't been able
to break each other in two fights
3105
03:04:32,027 --> 03:04:36,065
in which the only thing that
wasn't undisputed was the decision.
3106
03:04:36,565 --> 03:04:38,617
All right, Seniesa, Amanda Serrano
3107
03:04:39,118 --> 03:04:41,236
{\an8}was the more aggressive fighter
in the first two.
3108
03:04:41,270 --> 03:04:43,522
{\an8}She won the punch stash.
She threw more punches.
3109
03:04:43,555 --> 03:04:46,508
{\an8}She landed more punches.
A lot of the fans thought she won.
3110
03:04:46,542 --> 03:04:50,946
{\an8}All that and three bucks on your Apple Pay
will get you riding the D train
3111
03:04:50,979 --> 03:04:52,264
here to the Garden tonight.
3112
03:04:52,297 --> 03:04:55,234
What does she have to do
to make the changes she needs
3113
03:04:55,267 --> 03:04:57,202
to make to actually win the fight?
3114
03:04:57,236 --> 03:04:59,938
So there are a few adjustments
that Amanda Serrano needs
3115
03:04:59,972 --> 03:05:02,875
to make in order to win rounds
more decisively,
3116
03:05:02,908 --> 03:05:04,676
such as when moving forward,
3117
03:05:04,710 --> 03:05:07,312
take small steps back
to create that space,
3118
03:05:07,346 --> 03:05:10,332
then counter Katie Taylor
as she reaches forward.
3119
03:05:10,365 --> 03:05:13,001
And that will also help avoid
the head clashes.
3120
03:05:13,035 --> 03:05:15,971
And also, I'd love to see Serrano
work the body early,
3121
03:05:16,004 --> 03:05:20,209
specifically the right hook to the body
as Katie Taylor moves out to the left.
3122
03:05:20,726 --> 03:05:23,228
All right, and Amanda Serrano
needs the fight,
3123
03:05:23,262 --> 03:05:26,398
and Katie Taylor is 2-0.
But Andre, let me ask you this.
3124
03:05:26,431 --> 03:05:29,968
Why is it when you're around Katie Taylor,
why is it when you hear her talk,
3125
03:05:30,002 --> 03:05:31,603
when you look into her eyes,
3126
03:05:31,637 --> 03:05:34,256
it seems like she's the one that's 0-2?
3127
03:05:34,289 --> 03:05:36,859
Because even though
she's won the first two victories,
3128
03:05:36,892 --> 03:05:38,660
it's been like a thankless job.
3129
03:05:38,694 --> 03:05:41,930
She's still not universally recognized
as the better fighter,
3130
03:05:41,964 --> 03:05:44,449
and as a champion, that eats away at you.
3131
03:05:44,483 --> 03:05:47,102
The rematches,
and in this case, this trilogy,
3132
03:05:47,136 --> 03:05:50,222
is about adjustments
and creating some separation,
3133
03:05:50,255 --> 03:05:52,007
and if Katie Taylor's gonna do that,
3134
03:05:52,040 --> 03:05:56,728
she's going to have to work smarter
and not harder to leave no doubt
3135
03:05:56,762 --> 03:05:59,164
and put this rivalry to bed tonight.
3136
03:05:59,198 --> 03:06:01,483
Five years of circling each other.
3137
03:06:02,718 --> 03:06:07,606
Two legendary fights have all led
to what is already going to be,
3138
03:06:08,273 --> 03:06:10,209
oh, we know, an unforgettable night.
3139
03:06:10,843 --> 03:06:17,332
A crowd as loud as it seems they are,
as engaged as they could possibly be,
3140
03:06:17,366 --> 03:06:19,868
as the latest moment in the iconography
3141
03:06:19,902 --> 03:06:22,454
of Madison Square Garden
is straight ahead.
3142
03:06:22,487 --> 03:06:24,640
Taylor and Serrano, the trilogy.
3143
03:06:37,202 --> 03:06:39,354
It is electric in here, everybody.
3144
03:06:39,388 --> 03:06:43,008
We are now just moments away
from Taylor vs. Serrano 3.
3145
03:06:43,041 --> 03:06:46,912
Let's head over to ring announcer Big Mo
for the main event.
3146
03:06:48,981 --> 03:06:51,967
And now, ladies and gentlemen…
3147
03:06:54,620 --> 03:06:57,089
…live from New York,
3148
03:06:57,756 --> 03:07:01,210
to get us ready for this main event
3149
03:07:01,243 --> 03:07:04,379
and to perform the national anthems
of both countries.
3150
03:07:04,413 --> 03:07:08,283
First, to perform
the national anthem of Ireland,
3151
03:07:08,317 --> 03:07:12,621
please welcome Cathy Maguire.
3152
03:08:48,700 --> 03:08:54,306
And now to perform the national anthem
of Puerto Rico…
3153
03:08:57,759 --> 03:09:01,613
…please welcome Kany García.
3154
03:11:12,277 --> 03:11:16,331
This is what it feels like
when you can feel emotion.
3155
03:11:16,364 --> 03:11:20,635
When you're in Madison Square Garden,
that means the celebrities are coming out.
3156
03:11:20,669 --> 03:11:23,238
Happy Gilmore 2,
we're closing in on that.
3157
03:11:23,271 --> 03:11:25,106
Shooter McGavin,
Christopher McDonald here.
3158
03:11:25,140 --> 03:11:26,341
So is Emily Rudd.
3159
03:11:27,742 --> 03:11:30,128
Been a big couple of months here
at Madison Square Garden.
3160
03:11:30,162 --> 03:11:32,614
Gina Rodriguez has seen quite a bit of it.
3161
03:11:32,647 --> 03:11:37,002
The uber-talented Luis Guzmán
ofWednesdayhere on Netflix.
3162
03:11:37,853 --> 03:11:39,921
Oh, saw KiKi Layne earlier.
3163
03:11:42,157 --> 03:11:45,327
It is hard to hear yourself thinking here.
That's the way it's supposed to be.
3164
03:11:45,360 --> 03:11:48,680
Great to see Ronny Chieng
out at Madison Square Garden tonight and…
3165
03:11:49,564 --> 03:11:54,803
no list of A-listers would be complete
without the great Kevin Hart.
3166
03:12:01,259 --> 03:12:06,548
So much conversation,
but guys, we have arrived.
3167
03:12:06,581 --> 03:12:08,733
The main event and the tale of the tape.
3168
03:12:08,767 --> 03:12:10,902
The one thing
to notice here is the weight.
3169
03:12:10,936 --> 03:12:14,756
This is for the 140
undisputed championship,
3170
03:12:14,789 --> 03:12:17,509
but this is agreed
to a contract weight of 136.
3171
03:12:17,542 --> 03:12:19,761
They fought earlier at 138.
3172
03:12:19,794 --> 03:12:22,681
For the rules in the main event,
we turn to Sean Wheelock.
3173
03:12:25,917 --> 03:12:27,202
…is being administered.
3174
03:12:27,235 --> 03:12:29,888
We are under the unified rules
of professional boxing.
3175
03:12:29,921 --> 03:12:32,624
It's being administered
by the New York State Athletic Commission.
3176
03:12:32,657 --> 03:12:35,610
The female pro boxing standard
two minute rounds are in use.
3177
03:12:35,644 --> 03:12:37,379
There is no three knockdown rule.
3178
03:12:37,412 --> 03:12:40,131
A fighter cannot be saved
by the bell in any round.
3179
03:12:40,165 --> 03:12:42,083
If an accidental foul ends the fight,
3180
03:12:42,117 --> 03:12:45,253
four rounds must be completed
to consider it official.
3181
03:12:53,428 --> 03:12:56,398
I think this is the last chapter
for me and Katie.
3182
03:12:56,431 --> 03:12:59,017
Going out there
and giving everything I have,
3183
03:12:59,050 --> 03:13:01,770
my hand raised…
3184
03:13:28,897 --> 03:13:32,367
I can't lose again.
It's not like-- I knew, and I know I won.
3185
03:13:32,400 --> 03:13:34,235
I need to get this win.
3186
03:13:43,094 --> 03:13:46,448
Ladies and gentlemen…
3187
03:13:47,649 --> 03:13:51,069
the wait is over.
3188
03:13:51,586 --> 03:13:55,707
This is your main event of the evening
3189
03:13:55,740 --> 03:13:59,544
and we are sold out.
3190
03:14:04,499 --> 03:14:08,119
Are the Irish in the Garden tonight?
3191
03:14:24,369 --> 03:14:27,939
This bout is scheduled
for ten two-minute rounds
3192
03:14:28,807 --> 03:14:34,362
for the undisputed
super lightweight championship
3193
03:14:34,396 --> 03:14:35,897
of the world.
3194
03:14:35,930 --> 03:14:41,986
Introducing first to the ring,
fighting out of the red corner,
3195
03:14:42,020 --> 03:14:43,204
please welcome,
3196
03:14:43,838 --> 03:14:50,829
Amanda Serrano!
3197
03:16:09,407 --> 03:16:13,278
Just imagine, the first time
Amanda Serrano met that man Jake Paul.
3198
03:16:13,311 --> 03:16:15,563
As the story she likes to tell goes,
3199
03:16:15,597 --> 03:16:17,148
he wouldn't even shake her hand.
3200
03:16:17,182 --> 03:16:18,967
Of course, during COVID,
3201
03:16:19,000 --> 03:16:22,270
a lot of us have dropped it
and gone to the fist bump as our go-to.
3202
03:16:22,303 --> 03:16:25,857
Five years later, that fist bump
truly changed the game.
3203
03:16:26,591 --> 03:16:30,195
Women's tennis had been played
for 100 years before Billie Jean King.
3204
03:16:30,228 --> 03:16:34,532
Women's soccer was a thing for 100 years
before Brandi Chastain's golden goal.
3205
03:16:34,566 --> 03:16:38,703
The WNBA, 25 years old
before Caitlin Clark and A'ja Wilson.
3206
03:16:39,454 --> 03:16:44,159
That woman had won seven world titles
in seven different weight classes
3207
03:16:44,192 --> 03:16:46,478
before her fist
ever bumped with Jake Paul.
3208
03:16:46,511 --> 03:16:48,530
She was already a Hall of Famer.
3209
03:16:48,563 --> 03:16:51,149
But that was the moment
the lightning hit the kite.
3210
03:16:51,182 --> 03:16:53,501
And it's a moment
that has lead us here tonight.
3211
03:16:53,535 --> 03:16:54,752
Eight months ago, guys,
3212
03:16:54,786 --> 03:16:56,838
that those fists that bumped Jake Paul
3213
03:16:56,871 --> 03:17:00,291
touched Katie Taylor more than
any woman had ever been touched.
3214
03:17:00,325 --> 03:17:01,392
And it wasn't enough.
3215
03:17:01,426 --> 03:17:04,696
Now, she will tell you
she doesn't wanna win or hope to win,
3216
03:17:04,729 --> 03:17:06,714
she needs this tonight.
3217
03:17:08,850 --> 03:17:10,902
Yeah, I think both ladies need it tonight.
3218
03:17:10,935 --> 03:17:14,489
We talked about that in the opening,
about, even though Katie Taylor,
3219
03:17:14,522 --> 03:17:18,193
she is two-oh in this rivalry,
she's still searching for respect.
3220
03:17:18,226 --> 03:17:21,930
And she's still searching
to prove that she's the dominant fighter.
3221
03:17:29,938 --> 03:17:32,490
I'm not interested
in what Amanda says about the fight.
3222
03:17:32,524 --> 03:17:34,626
I'm only interested in what
the judges say about the fight.
3223
03:17:34,659 --> 03:17:37,996
I was a deserved winner,
and here we are again.
3224
03:18:30,515 --> 03:18:32,100
And now,
3225
03:18:32,934 --> 03:18:35,436
fighting out of the blue corner,
3226
03:18:36,020 --> 03:18:38,957
the defending champion,
3227
03:18:40,008 --> 03:18:41,743
here is
3228
03:18:41,776 --> 03:18:48,299
Katie Taylor!
3229
03:19:58,686 --> 03:20:00,955
Isn't it ironic that by now
3230
03:20:00,989 --> 03:20:02,623
we know everything there is to know
3231
03:20:02,657 --> 03:20:05,043
about an athlete
that never really wanted to be known,
3232
03:20:05,076 --> 03:20:06,711
a reluctant icon.
3233
03:20:07,762 --> 03:20:11,532
But Katie Taylor has lived
a life defined by faith and will.
3234
03:20:11,566 --> 03:20:14,068
Faith in her family, faith in God,
3235
03:20:14,102 --> 03:20:17,605
and an undying faith in her will to win.
3236
03:20:17,638 --> 03:20:20,958
You know the story. As a little girl,
had to keep headgear on
3237
03:20:20,992 --> 03:20:22,960
so she could compete
in tournaments against boys.
3238
03:20:22,994 --> 03:20:25,363
The gold medal in London,
the disappointment in Rio,
3239
03:20:25,396 --> 03:20:26,698
and a starring role
3240
03:20:26,731 --> 03:20:29,233
in the most important fight
in her sport's history.
3241
03:20:29,917 --> 03:20:34,489
And if things had gone differently,
her debut on Netflix
3242
03:20:34,522 --> 03:20:36,257
might have been
in the World Cup in two years,
3243
03:20:36,290 --> 03:20:38,426
because she was
that elite a soccer player.
3244
03:20:38,459 --> 03:20:41,079
But she was so dedicated
to the sport of boxing.
3245
03:20:41,913 --> 03:20:45,550
How deep was her faith?
It wasn't even in the Olympics yet,
3246
03:20:45,583 --> 03:20:47,819
but she wills it into the Olympics.
3247
03:20:48,536 --> 03:20:51,956
And has willed herself
to this moment tonight.
3248
03:20:51,989 --> 03:20:55,693
And this atmosphere tonight
in Madison Square Garden is insane.
3249
03:20:55,727 --> 03:20:58,262
I thought it was incredible
for the first and second,
3250
03:20:58,296 --> 03:21:01,499
but this third fight is something special.
3251
03:21:38,219 --> 03:21:41,155
Ladies and gentlemen,
3252
03:21:41,939 --> 03:21:47,095
live from the Mecca of boxing,
3253
03:21:47,128 --> 03:21:49,747

3254
03:21:49,781 --> 03:21:54,702
New York City, USA.

3275
03:23:14,432 --> 03:23:18,786
Are you ready to make history?
3276
03:23:22,173 --> 03:23:23,975
Let's meet the fighters.
3277
03:23:24,008 --> 03:23:27,862
Introducing first,
fighting out of the blue corner,
3278
03:23:28,412 --> 03:23:30,648
wearing the black trunks with gold trim.
3279
03:23:30,681 --> 03:23:33,150
She stands five feet, five inches tall.
3280
03:23:34,435 --> 03:23:38,756
She weighed in at 135.8 pounds.
3281
03:23:39,473 --> 03:23:41,242
She holds a professional record
3282
03:23:41,275 --> 03:23:45,396
of 24 victories versus just one defeat
3283
03:23:45,429 --> 03:23:50,034
with six of those wins
coming by way of knockout.
3284
03:23:51,002 --> 03:23:57,475
And she fights out of Bray, Ireland!
3285
03:23:59,610 --> 03:24:01,195
As an amateur,
3286
03:24:01,229 --> 03:24:06,250
you are looking at the five-time
world championships gold medalist,
3287
03:24:06,284 --> 03:24:09,737
the six-time European gold medalist,
3288
03:24:10,371 --> 03:24:15,009
the five-time European Union
gold medalist,
3289
03:24:15,042 --> 03:24:19,163
and the 2012 Olympic gold medalist.
3290
03:24:19,747 --> 03:24:21,232
As a professional,
3291
03:24:21,766 --> 03:24:27,204
she is the two-division
undisputed champion of the world
3292
03:24:27,238 --> 03:24:30,725
and tonight, she is the current,
3293
03:24:30,758 --> 03:24:33,911
the reigning, the defending,
3294
03:24:33,945 --> 03:24:40,735
undisputed super lightweight champion
of the world,
3295
03:24:40,768 --> 03:24:44,755
"The Pride of the Emerald Isle,"
3296
03:24:44,789 --> 03:24:46,841
ladies and gentlemen,
3297
03:24:46,874 --> 03:24:52,380
Katie Taylor.
3298
03:24:57,335 --> 03:25:02,056
And now her opponent,
fighting out of the red corner,
3299
03:25:02,773 --> 03:25:05,710
wearing the white and red trunks
with black trim.

3302
03:25:15,469 --> 03:25:17,438

03:25:17,471 --> 03:25:22,026
of 47 victories
versus three defeats and one draw,
3304
03:25:22,593 --> 03:25:27,732
with 31 of those wins
coming by way of knockout.
3305
03:25:28,449 --> 03:25:35,189
And she fights
out of Carolina, Puerto Rico.
3306
03:25:37,191 --> 03:25:43,197
Introducing the seven-division
world champion,
3307
03:25:43,781 --> 03:25:49,987
introducing the current unified
featherweight champion of the world,
3308
03:25:50,021 --> 03:25:55,326
introducing the first ever male or female
3309
03:25:55,359 --> 03:25:59,780
Puerto Rican undisputed world champion.
3310
03:26:00,548 --> 03:26:02,433
No, New York,
3311
03:26:02,466 --> 03:26:06,337
she is the only Puerto Rican
3312
03:26:06,370 --> 03:26:09,990
undisputed world champion.
3313
03:26:19,817 --> 03:26:21,669
Amanda
3314
03:26:21,702 --> 03:26:28,659
"The Real Deal" Serrano!
3315
03:26:45,259 --> 03:26:46,911
Okay, come on up.
3316
03:26:50,915 --> 03:26:53,901
Okay, boxers, you received
your instructions earlier.
3317
03:26:53,934 --> 03:26:56,971
As a reminder,
obey my commands at all times,
3318
03:26:57,004 --> 03:26:59,707
protect yourself at all times,
touch gloves, good luck.
3319
03:27:02,426 --> 03:27:05,529
They no longer need
to champion their sport.
3320
03:27:06,063 --> 03:27:08,899
They no longer need
to champion their gender.
3321
03:27:09,483 --> 03:27:13,537
They no longer need the championships
that litter their résumés
3322
03:27:13,571 --> 03:27:14,822
and decorate their gyms.
3323
03:27:14,855 --> 03:27:18,642
There's only one left,
and it's one only available to them.
3324
03:27:18,676 --> 03:27:23,931
Tonight, Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano
fight for the undisputed championship
3325
03:27:23,964 --> 03:27:25,132
of each other.
3326
03:27:25,683 --> 03:27:29,420
-Chapter three, round one.
-Here we go.
3327
03:27:43,150 --> 03:27:44,185
{\an8}Don't be concerned.
3328
03:27:44,218 --> 03:27:47,555
{\an8}Those things on your arms right now,
those are goosebumps.
3329
03:27:47,588 --> 03:27:49,273
{\an8}They'll go away in about an hour.
3330
03:27:51,759 --> 03:27:55,112
{\an8}Both previous fights,
both ladies started out fast.
3331
03:27:55,146 --> 03:27:56,597
{\an8}This crowd is electric.
3332
03:27:57,798 --> 03:28:02,002
{\an8}The emotions are high,
but they seem a little bit more patient
3333
03:28:02,036 --> 03:28:04,155
{\an8}in this third fight right now.
3334
03:28:05,789 --> 03:28:08,626
{\an8}The volume was unprecedented
in the first two fights.
3335
03:28:08,659 --> 03:28:09,810
{\an8}They wasted no time.
3336
03:28:21,055 --> 03:28:23,107
{\an8}And this is something
that we've mentioned all week.
3337
03:28:23,140 --> 03:28:26,010
{\an8}It's about fighting smarter, not harder.
3338
03:28:27,394 --> 03:28:30,548
{\an8}Thinking, setting up those shots,
making those little adjustments
3339
03:28:30,581 --> 03:28:33,884
{\an8}that's going to make you stand out
and win a round more decisively.
3340
03:28:39,240 --> 03:28:42,293
{\an8}I think both ladies
are thinking the exact same thing.
3341
03:28:46,897 --> 03:28:49,950
{\an8}The reason
the first two fights were legendary
3342
03:28:49,984 --> 03:28:52,520
{\an8}was that eventually,
defense became optional.
3343
03:28:54,371 --> 03:28:56,774
{\an8}And both fighters took severe punishment,
3344
03:28:56,807 --> 03:28:59,643
{\an8}obviously pacing themselves
here in round one tonight.
3345
03:29:11,605 --> 03:29:14,124
{\an8}And obviously, keep in mind,
if you're new, the one--
3346
03:29:14,158 --> 03:29:17,211
{\an8}the big thing to watch for
at the start, righty against lefty.
3347
03:29:17,244 --> 03:29:18,862
{\an8}Andre, that can mean
a lot of different things.
3348
03:29:18,896 --> 03:29:21,448
{\an8}We know what it meant in the first
two fights, all those head clashes.
3349
03:29:21,482 --> 03:29:24,335
{\an8}It can, but it looks like
both ladies want to fight a cleaner fight,
3350
03:29:24,368 --> 03:29:27,021
{\an8}and like we said,
a smarter fight to leave no doubt.
3351
03:29:34,495 --> 03:29:35,579
Deep breaths, everyone.
3352
03:29:35,613 --> 03:29:37,948
We're just getting started.
3353
03:29:49,910 --> 03:29:53,464
Don't get crazy. We're headed.
Nothing happened. You didn't do anything.
3354
03:30:24,111 --> 03:30:25,879
And keep on moving. Keep on turning.
3355
03:30:25,913 --> 03:30:27,715
You know how we do.
3356
03:30:45,933 --> 03:30:48,736
{\an8}All the months of discussion
about which fighter would change,
3357
03:30:48,769 --> 03:30:51,071
{\an8}would they both change up their styles?
3358
03:30:51,105 --> 03:30:54,742
{\an8}And remarkably only three punches
connected in that first round.
3359
03:30:54,775 --> 03:30:56,610
{\an8}Yeah, it's not the big adjustments,
3360
03:30:56,644 --> 03:30:59,413
{\an8}it's not the change of style,
it's just adding little things
3361
03:30:59,446 --> 03:31:02,533
{\an8}or taking away something that hurts you
in these previous two fights
3362
03:31:02,566 --> 03:31:05,185
{\an8}and you see, that's what
they're both trying to do.
3363
03:31:05,219 --> 03:31:06,420
{\an8}Nobody wants to make a mistake
3364
03:31:06,453 --> 03:31:09,423
{\an8}even though a punch
was just landed right there
3365
03:31:09,456 --> 03:31:11,642
{\an8}but this thing is certainly
going to heat up.
3366
03:31:11,675 --> 03:31:15,329
{\an8}Remember in the first two fights,
Amanda Serrano was the aggressor.
3367
03:31:15,362 --> 03:31:18,699
{\an8}She would back Katie Taylor in the corner,
but Katie Taylor was drawing her in,
3368
03:31:18,732 --> 03:31:20,868
{\an8}and then throwing the counter shots,
3369
03:31:20,901 --> 03:31:23,354
{\an8}which three out of every four times
worked very well.
3370
03:31:23,387 --> 03:31:26,140
{\an8}But when it didn't work,
she paid a big price.
3371
03:31:26,173 --> 03:31:28,158
{\an8}Especially earlier, Amanda Serrano landed
3372
03:31:28,192 --> 03:31:32,262
{\an8}those strong straight lefts early
that hurt Serrano in both fights.
3373
03:31:33,247 --> 03:31:35,432
{\an8}So now we see Taylor
being a bit more cautious
3374
03:31:35,466 --> 03:31:37,368
{\an8}and picking her shots and being smart.
3375
03:31:42,773 --> 03:31:44,725
{\an8}I like the Serrano that I see right now.
3376
03:31:44,758 --> 03:31:45,993
{\an8}She's coming behind the jab.
3377
03:31:46,026 --> 03:31:49,730
{\an8}She typically will start there early,
like maybe the first or second round,
3378
03:31:49,763 --> 03:31:51,014
{\an8}and then she'll get away from it.
3379
03:31:51,048 --> 03:31:53,500
{\an8}But she used it the entirety
of the first round,
3380
03:31:53,534 --> 03:31:56,053
{\an8}and she's using it the entirety
of this round.
3381
03:31:56,086 --> 03:31:57,771
{\an8}And just like that,
she was able to get close
3382
03:31:57,805 --> 03:32:00,908
{\an8}with those jabs that you mentioned
and land that straight left.
3383
03:32:02,259 --> 03:32:04,812
{\an8}And she's using distance
much more efficiently
3384
03:32:04,845 --> 03:32:07,798
{\an8}than the first two fights
when she was just pulling forward.
3385
03:32:11,385 --> 03:32:13,587
{\an8}And that's exactly
what Amanda Serrano needs to do
3386
03:32:13,620 --> 03:32:14,722
{\an8}is create that distance.
3387
03:32:14,755 --> 03:32:18,242
{\an8}Keep that distance and that also
helps avoid the head clashes.
3388
03:32:35,209 --> 03:32:36,510
Hey!
3389
03:32:43,667 --> 03:32:46,003
Hey, another good round
of moving. I like the pace.
3390
03:32:46,036 --> 03:32:47,888
I'll live with this pace all day.
3391
03:32:47,921 --> 03:32:50,290
And listen, that's what you do.
You go to the ropes like that.
3392
03:32:50,324 --> 03:32:52,726
You set the trap. You walk in,
you walk in, and you spin out.
3393
03:32:52,760 --> 03:32:54,628
You land a hook. Make her start over.
3394
03:32:54,661 --> 03:32:57,414
She's flat-footed.
She's gotta plant her feet.
3395
03:32:57,448 --> 03:32:59,299
You're not a heavy bag.
She's gotta plant her feet.
3396
03:32:59,333 --> 03:33:00,484
Get there and trade.
3397
03:33:00,517 --> 03:33:03,337
You keep moving, moving your head,
occupying her, touching her.
3398
03:33:03,370 --> 03:33:05,355
She can't do shit. You understand me?
3399
03:33:05,389 --> 03:33:07,124
Big breath, it's gonna go around.
3400
03:33:08,976 --> 03:33:11,061
Listen up, when you shoot that right hand,
3401
03:33:11,094 --> 03:33:14,264
you come up short
with the right hand. Don't pull out.
3402
03:33:15,098 --> 03:33:18,152
Come up short, put something behind it
so it turns into a two-one.
3403
03:33:18,185 --> 03:33:21,088
Don't come back, pull up,
and get touched. Touch, go.
3404
03:33:21,121 --> 03:33:23,907
Short, throw a hook behind it.
Add something to the right hand.
3405
03:33:23,941 --> 03:33:26,059
Find your left,
whether it's a jab or a hook.
3406
03:33:26,093 --> 03:33:27,044
Now you touch her,
3407
03:33:27,077 --> 03:33:28,779
then you get back to moving. Good.
3408
03:33:29,596 --> 03:33:32,933
Seniesa, I saw you nodding
in agreement with Ross Enamait.
3409
03:33:32,966 --> 03:33:33,967
Yeah, great instructions.
3410
03:33:34,001 --> 03:33:36,053
I like what he said
about throwing the two-one…
3411
03:33:36,086 --> 03:33:38,038
…meaning throw the straight right
3412
03:33:38,071 --> 03:33:41,608
{\an8}followed by the jab because
you're fighting a southpaw fighter,
3413
03:33:41,642 --> 03:33:45,445
{\an8}you might miss the straight right hand,
but that jab is going to land.
3414
03:33:45,479 --> 03:33:47,981
{\an8}Katie Taylor has moved
her entire life to Connecticut
3415
03:33:48,015 --> 03:33:49,533
{\an8}to work with Ross Enamait.
3416
03:33:49,566 --> 03:33:52,369
{\an8}She can go to the grocery store.
People don't know who she is,
3417
03:33:52,402 --> 03:33:54,571
{\an8}or she might be
Ireland's favorite daughter
3418
03:33:54,605 --> 03:33:57,257
{\an8}and gets mobbed
every time she's there.
3419
03:33:58,725 --> 03:34:00,611
{\an8}She's made a quiet life for herself.
3420
03:34:01,195 --> 03:34:02,746
{\an8}And a championship won.
3421
03:34:09,069 --> 03:34:12,573
{\an8}It's going to be interesting
to see that when things do heat up
3422
03:34:12,606 --> 03:34:15,142
{\an8}and when Katie Taylor lands some shots,
3423
03:34:15,175 --> 03:34:18,779
{\an8}jabs, hooks, or even right hands
on that right eye of Amanda Serrano,
3424
03:34:18,812 --> 03:34:21,131
{\an8}if that old cut opens up.
3425
03:34:21,164 --> 03:34:23,550
{\an8}There's scar tissue there.
It's been sewed up.
3426
03:34:23,584 --> 03:34:25,953
{\an8}But it's-- one punch can open it right up.
3427
03:34:26,537 --> 03:34:29,540
{\an8}And that's why we thought
Katie Taylor would be more conservative
3428
03:34:29,573 --> 03:34:31,208
{\an8}and not try to get into a firefight
3429
03:34:31,241 --> 03:34:33,410
{\an8}as she did in the first two
with Amanda Serrano.
3430
03:34:33,443 --> 03:34:36,313
{\an8}But as you just said,
Amanda Serrano has a reason
3431
03:34:36,346 --> 03:34:38,749
{\an8}to be more conservative as well
because of that cut.
3432
03:34:38,782 --> 03:34:41,768
{\an8}Remember that fight?
It was in November last year.
3433
03:34:42,336 --> 03:34:43,937
{\an8}The problem for Katie Taylor,
3434
03:34:43,971 --> 03:34:46,757
{\an8}if the fight stays like this,
good shot right there.
3435
03:34:47,708 --> 03:34:50,410
{\an8}Amanda Serrano trying to come right back.
And here we go.
3436
03:34:52,145 --> 03:34:53,697
{\an8}Now we're flashing back.
3437
03:34:58,135 --> 03:34:59,519
{\an8}Even when they're not doing much,
3438
03:34:59,553 --> 03:35:02,406
{\an8}the fact that Serrano is stalking
and putting pressure,
3439
03:35:02,439 --> 03:35:04,658
{\an8}that's going to bode well
for the judges to say,
3440
03:35:04,691 --> 03:35:08,295
{\an8}"Well, I don't know who to give it to.
Maybe I'll give it to Serrano."
3441
03:35:09,379 --> 03:35:11,081
{\an8}"She looks like she's in control."
3442
03:35:17,905 --> 03:35:20,657
{\an8}It was almost a musical pattern
to the first couple of fights
3443
03:35:20,691 --> 03:35:22,809
{\an8}with Katie Taylor
drawing Amanda Serrano in
3444
03:35:22,843 --> 03:35:25,596
{\an8}and landing the counter shots
and trying to escape to the left,
3445
03:35:25,629 --> 03:35:27,080
{\an8}but that created some damage.
3446
03:35:29,750 --> 03:35:31,485
Good left from Katie Taylor.
3447
03:35:31,518 --> 03:35:33,737
Again, the counter shots
after the pressure
3448
03:35:33,770 --> 03:35:37,274
and a strong finish to round three.
3449
03:35:54,775 --> 03:35:58,228
Let that one-two go, baby.
Believe in yourself, you heard?
3450
03:35:58,261 --> 03:36:00,464
Keep your hands up,
you're looking real good.
3451
03:36:07,371 --> 03:36:09,756
Yeah, step over to the right
and throw a one-two,
3452
03:36:09,790 --> 03:36:11,274
right down the middle, baby.
3453
03:36:12,926 --> 03:36:15,412
Don't walk in just with a left hand, okay?
3454
03:36:15,445 --> 03:36:17,381
Don't do what you do.
Don't walk in with a left.
3455
03:36:17,414 --> 03:36:20,701
Throw me a jab, jab,
and then let your one-two go.
3456
03:36:20,734 --> 03:36:22,986
Keep your hand up
because she's trying to counter.
3457
03:36:23,020 --> 03:36:25,689
And don't go on the inside
because that's what she's looking for.
3458
03:36:25,722 --> 03:36:28,375
-You control it from the outside.
-Let's go.
3459
03:36:32,129 --> 03:36:35,215
Even a change, Andre,
in the corner from Jordan Maldonado.
3460
03:36:35,248 --> 03:36:39,152
We talked about this before,
about inspiration or instruction,
3461
03:36:39,186 --> 03:36:42,155
{\an8}and it seems to be a lot more instruction
from Jordan Maldonado.
3462
03:36:42,189 --> 03:36:45,308
{\an8}Yes, you gotta make adjustments,
and coaches have to make them as well,
3463
03:36:45,342 --> 03:36:46,576
{\an8}not just the fighters.
3464
03:36:48,362 --> 03:36:50,614
{\an8}And I like those adjustments,
especially that right there.
3465
03:36:50,647 --> 03:36:52,899
{\an8}Amanda Serrano just throwing
a one-two out there,
3466
03:36:52,933 --> 03:36:56,269
{\an8}just to change the rhythm
and to keep Katie Taylor at distance.
3467
03:37:00,424 --> 03:37:02,876
{\an8}Saw the unofficial scorecard.
3468
03:37:02,909 --> 03:37:05,912
{\an8}Needless to say,
that was the majority of the discussion
3469
03:37:05,946 --> 03:37:10,901
{\an8}through the first two fights
and if you're in the ten-nine must system,
3470
03:37:10,934 --> 03:37:14,488
{\an8}the ten point must system,
it creates even in close rounds
3471
03:37:14,521 --> 03:37:16,323
{\an8}and these have been close rounds
at the start.
3472
03:37:16,356 --> 03:37:18,425
{\an8}That's how Katie Taylor
won the first two fights,
3473
03:37:18,458 --> 03:37:19,943
{\an8}by winning close rounds.
3474
03:37:23,430 --> 03:37:27,284
{\an8}And Taylor doing a good job
at staying not too close to the ropes.
3475
03:37:29,936 --> 03:37:33,256
{\an8}Good, sharp, crisp shots
from Katie Taylor right there
3476
03:37:33,290 --> 03:37:36,143
{\an8}that are easy for a judge
to see and count.
3477
03:37:54,344 --> 03:37:57,564
{\an8}Katie's starting to find
her target just a little bit more.
3478
03:37:57,597 --> 03:38:01,251
{\an8}Good counter right there from Serrano
as this fight starts to progress.
3479
03:38:07,691 --> 03:38:11,511
{\an8}Most trilogy fights are not fingerprints.
3480
03:38:11,545 --> 03:38:14,765
{\an8}They're all, you see so many
of the same things over and over again,
3481
03:38:14,798 --> 03:38:16,817
{\an8}particularly with fighters later
in their career,
3482
03:38:16,850 --> 03:38:18,802
{\an8}but already a different look.
3483
03:38:18,835 --> 03:38:20,987
{\an8}And it's Amanda Serrano
landing the counter punches early
3484
03:38:21,021 --> 03:38:22,272
{\an8}in the third fight.
3485
03:38:23,090 --> 03:38:24,758
{\an8}And I'm loving the pace from both ladies.
3486
03:38:24,791 --> 03:38:27,094
{\an8}Just because we only have
two minutes doesn't mean
3487
03:38:27,127 --> 03:38:31,181
{\an8}you have to go out there and throw
combinations every few seconds.
3488
03:38:35,836 --> 03:38:37,137
Time!
3489
03:38:40,557 --> 03:38:45,712
The Taylor family making the trip,
when Katie Taylor's mom comes to see her
3490
03:38:45,745 --> 03:38:49,065
in Connecticut takes a lot of
that burden off of her
3491
03:38:49,099 --> 03:38:50,433
of taking care of her herself,
3492
03:38:50,467 --> 03:38:54,771
living so far away from home and her
family is such a big part of the story.
3493
03:38:54,805 --> 03:38:58,425
You gotta throw it across yourself.
You see her side, step to your right,
3494
03:38:58,458 --> 03:39:01,111
and then shoot down the middle.
Same thing, you throw it once,
3495
03:39:01,144 --> 03:39:03,613
keep going there,
keep going downstairs to the body.
3496
03:39:03,647 --> 03:39:06,133
You want her to fucking look here.
Don't let her get to where
3497
03:39:06,166 --> 03:39:08,969
she's ducking under your backhand
and coming back for a counter.
3498
03:39:09,002 --> 03:39:12,389
You take that away by going to the body
once or twice a round, understand?
3499
03:39:16,877 --> 03:39:18,962
-Deep breath. Huh?
-We good? We good?
3500
03:39:18,995 --> 03:39:20,997
We're good, we're good, we're good.
3501
03:39:21,031 --> 03:39:23,650
Good, good. I like the pace.
I like the pace.
3502
03:39:38,381 --> 03:39:41,985
{\an8}And it feels like the 24th round
was just as close as the first.
3503
03:39:43,720 --> 03:39:45,839
{\an8}These ladies can fight a hundred times.
3504
03:39:45,872 --> 03:39:49,159
{\an8}This fight is gonna al--
their fight will always be close.
3505
03:39:49,192 --> 03:39:51,595
{\an8}It's the mentality,
mentality that they have
3506
03:39:51,628 --> 03:39:54,014
{\an8}and it's the way their styles just mesh.
3507
03:39:54,047 --> 03:39:55,982
{\an8}It just… It just is what it is.
3508
03:39:59,536 --> 03:40:01,588
{\an8}Jordan Maldonado is with Ariel.
3509
03:40:07,410 --> 03:40:10,497
{\an8}Run into anything where she could
start holding us and headbutting us.
3510
03:40:10,530 --> 03:40:14,100
{\an8}So we're trying to do, I guess she's
doing the same thing with boxing.
3511
03:40:14,134 --> 03:40:16,102
{\an8}There you go. One, two.
You know what I'm saying?
3512
03:40:16,136 --> 03:40:18,071
{\an8}Make sure-- behind the jab.
Behind the jab.
3513
03:40:18,104 --> 03:40:20,023
{\an8}Over. Over. Over, baby.
3514
03:40:21,741 --> 03:40:24,644
{\an8}Jordan, what does she need
to do now in order to start?
3515
03:40:24,678 --> 03:40:27,864
{\an8}Pressure. Now we start cutting off
the ring and we start putting pressure
3516
03:40:27,898 --> 03:40:29,266
{\an8}and letting the hands go.
3517
03:40:29,299 --> 03:40:32,135
{\an8}-Thank you, Jordan. Good luck.
-Thank you.
3518
03:40:41,912 --> 03:40:43,947
{\an8}Have you guys seen any
of the leading at the head
3519
03:40:43,980 --> 03:40:46,049
{\an8}that Jordan Maldonado
was just talking about?
3520
03:40:46,082 --> 03:40:47,884
{\an8}I haven't. It's been a clean fight.
3521
03:40:47,918 --> 03:40:49,085
{\an8}A lot cleaner.
3522
03:40:49,119 --> 03:40:50,870
{\an8}-So he's going-- You know?
-Exactly.
3523
03:40:50,904 --> 03:40:53,873
{\an8}-That's kind of what I was saying.
-That's what I'm going to say.
3524
03:40:53,907 --> 03:40:57,394
{\an8}He has been a divisive figure,
obviously, in this trilogy.
3525
03:40:57,961 --> 03:40:59,729
{\an8}-But a compelling one.
-But you know, if he feels
3526
03:40:59,763 --> 03:41:02,649
{\an8}that way,
he has the right to say it as a coach.
3527
03:41:04,050 --> 03:41:05,869
{\an8}Good lead left by Serrano.
3528
03:41:05,902 --> 03:41:07,804
{\an8}Katie Taylor, again, the counterpunch.
3529
03:41:08,471 --> 03:41:11,341
{\an8}Yes, these exchanges are hard to score.
3530
03:41:11,875 --> 03:41:15,378
{\an8}One fighter may throw a harder shot.
The other one lands two quicker shots.
3531
03:41:15,412 --> 03:41:18,064
{\an8}Who do you give that exchange to?
3532
03:41:18,098 --> 03:41:20,934
{\an8}Very, very difficult, difficult fight
thus far to score.
3533
03:41:22,385 --> 03:41:25,255
{\an8}Try to do it within
two-minute rounds in this cauldron
3534
03:41:25,288 --> 03:41:26,990
{\an8}that is Madison Square Garden.
3535
03:41:35,282 --> 03:41:36,383
And remarkably,
3536
03:41:36,416 --> 03:41:37,917
we're halfway home.
3537
03:41:51,665 --> 03:41:55,618
You need to go one-two.
We worked on that, you hear me?
3538
03:41:56,386 --> 03:41:58,104
You listening to me?
3539
03:42:00,323 --> 03:42:02,809
Good.
Just keep those double jabs.
3540
03:42:02,842 --> 03:42:05,879
Keep her turning and then give me
a one-two, right? One-two.
3541
03:42:05,912 --> 03:42:07,681
You haven't thrown it for me.
3542
03:42:08,732 --> 03:42:10,083
Let's go. Let's go.
3543
03:42:10,116 --> 03:42:11,284
One-two down the middle.
3544
03:42:11,318 --> 03:42:14,721
But don't stay inside so she can grab you
and start headbutting you.
3545
03:42:14,754 --> 03:42:16,206
Hit her one-two and then turn her.
3546
03:42:16,239 --> 03:42:18,692
Get back in the middle of the ring.
You hear me?
3547
03:42:18,725 --> 03:42:21,227
Just keep walking her back
behind the double jab.
3548
03:42:21,261 --> 03:42:22,462
One-two down the middle.
3549
03:42:24,114 --> 03:42:26,483
Don't let her hold you. Turn.
3550
03:42:41,164 --> 03:42:44,517
{\an8}Almost dead even in the punches,
landing the volume way down
3551
03:42:44,551 --> 03:42:47,404
{\an8}from the first two fights
as we begin the second half
3552
03:42:48,021 --> 03:42:50,123
{\an8}of the third chapter
of Taylor and Serrano.
3553
03:42:52,826 --> 03:42:56,096
{\an8}We bring in a guy I don't envy here
with the unofficial scorecard.
3554
03:42:56,129 --> 03:42:58,348
{\an8}Sean Wheelock, these look
like very tough rounds to call.
3555
03:42:58,381 --> 03:43:00,483
{\an8}Sean, these are
tough rounds, close rounds.
3556
03:43:00,517 --> 03:43:04,120
{\an8}I have it three rounds to two,
48-47, Amanda Serrano.
3557
03:43:06,923 --> 03:43:10,643
{\an8}That could very easily be the same way--
3558
03:43:10,677 --> 03:43:13,163
{\an8}It could be almost anything.
It could be almost any combination
3559
03:43:13,196 --> 03:43:14,748
{\an8}because, again,
the rounds have been so close.
3560
03:43:14,781 --> 03:43:17,233
{\an8}Could be 3-2 either fighter at this point.
3561
03:43:18,468 --> 03:43:20,820
{\an8}And Katie Taylor is doing
a great job at circling around
3562
03:43:20,854 --> 03:43:24,524
{\an8}keeping her distance and also
getting herself in a better position
3563
03:43:24,557 --> 03:43:25,892
{\an8}and getting back
to the center of the ring.
3564
03:43:25,925 --> 03:43:28,928
{\an8}This looks a lot more
like the first couple of fights.
3565
03:43:29,596 --> 03:43:31,097
{\an8}Amanda Serrano walking her
3566
03:43:31,131 --> 03:43:34,134
{\an8}into the corner and Katie Taylor
counter punching her way up.
3567
03:43:35,018 --> 03:43:37,187
{\an8}And that's where
Katie Taylor does not want to be
3568
03:43:37,220 --> 03:43:40,223
{\an8}because that's where Amanda Serrano
can land that straight left.
3569
03:43:40,256 --> 03:43:43,226
{\an8}But it's amazing
how successful Katie Taylor is
3570
03:43:43,259 --> 03:43:45,028
{\an8}with her back
to the rope or in the corner.
3571
03:43:45,061 --> 03:43:47,447
{\an8}She gets off a clip of five, six shots.
3572
03:43:47,480 --> 03:43:48,982
{\an8}I'm like, I don't know how she does it.
3573
03:43:49,015 --> 03:43:52,218
{\an8}And she doesn't always get hit.
Sometimes she does, but not always.
3574
03:43:52,252 --> 03:43:53,236
{\an8}She fights right back.
3575
03:43:53,269 --> 03:43:56,423
{\an8}She fires back with three or four
or five sometimes, just like that.
3576
03:43:56,456 --> 03:43:57,490
{\an8}Just like that.
3577
03:43:57,524 --> 03:43:59,826
{\an8}And that's why if you're
Amanda Serrano and you're walking forward,
3578
03:43:59,859 --> 03:44:03,012
{\an8}you have to take small steps back
to get Katie Taylor to reach.
3579
03:44:03,046 --> 03:44:04,197
{\an8}And then counter.
3580
03:44:04,230 --> 03:44:06,633
{\an8}Yes, two big shots
from Amanda Serrano right there.
3581
03:44:06,666 --> 03:44:09,085
{\an8}That did not pay
to have her back to the ropes.
3582
03:44:09,119 --> 03:44:12,722
{\an8}That looked a lot like the end
of round one in the second fight.
3583
03:44:25,668 --> 03:44:27,187
{\an8}Two men around.
3584
03:44:27,220 --> 03:44:29,923
{\an8}Fly by when the best
in the world are going toe-to-toe.
3585
03:44:54,063 --> 03:44:55,215
Yes!
3586
03:44:58,885 --> 03:45:00,220
You hit it once so far.
3587
03:45:00,253 --> 03:45:01,654
After that, double right hand.
3588
03:45:01,688 --> 03:45:03,957
Throw a hook on her,
throw a jab on her.
3589
03:45:03,990 --> 03:45:06,442
You're gonna overwhelm her with your hands
when it's more than one.
3590
03:45:06,476 --> 03:45:08,361
One shot, she's gonna take a step back.
3591
03:45:08,394 --> 03:45:11,197
She gets in range,
you touch, touch, touch, overwhelm her.
3592
03:45:11,231 --> 03:45:14,534
Here we see this quick,
sharp right hand by Katie Taylor.
3593
03:45:18,087 --> 03:45:22,342
And here we see a head clash
which is unavoidable when you have
3594
03:45:22,375 --> 03:45:23,826
a southpaw and orthodox fighter
3595
03:45:23,860 --> 03:45:25,795
and they're both
being aggressive and trying
3596
03:45:25,828 --> 03:45:27,780
to land their punches.
3597
03:45:33,286 --> 03:45:36,072
Lots of conversation about head clashes…
3598
03:45:37,590 --> 03:45:40,126
…and all the little things that went
against Amanda Serrano
3599
03:45:40,159 --> 03:45:42,011
{\an8}in the first two fights.
3600
03:45:42,795 --> 03:45:45,398
{\an8}These two women
that have dragged this sport
3601
03:45:45,431 --> 03:45:48,368
{\an8}to unprecedented levels
and dragged each other
3602
03:45:49,752 --> 03:45:53,189
{\an8}into waters so deep
they've never been there before.
3603
03:45:53,223 --> 03:45:56,459
{\an8}Yeah, they've been connected since 2022.
3604
03:45:56,492 --> 03:45:58,294
{\an8}I think they're a bit tired of each other
3605
03:45:58,328 --> 03:46:00,730
{\an8}I think they're ready
to put this rivalry to bed.
3606
03:46:10,206 --> 03:46:12,058
{\an8}Somebody's got to step it up.
3607
03:46:12,675 --> 03:46:15,812
{\an8}Both fighters have shut down
the idea of a fourth fight,
3608
03:46:15,845 --> 03:46:18,348
{\an8}no matter what's going to happen.
3609
03:46:25,888 --> 03:46:28,358
{\an8}-Ross, how's she doing out there?
-It's a close fight.
3610
03:46:28,391 --> 03:46:30,677
{\an8}I mean, it's a--
You know, the pace isn't crazy.
3611
03:46:30,710 --> 03:46:32,028
{\an8}They're boxing outside.
3612
03:46:32,061 --> 03:46:34,697
{\an8}It's a close fight like it's been
for the last 20 rounds.
3613
03:46:34,731 --> 03:46:36,933
{\an8}-Do you think you're up?
-Get with her.
3614
03:46:36,966 --> 03:46:39,769
{\an8}-It's a close fight.
-Thank you, Ross. Good luck.
3615
03:46:41,271 --> 03:46:42,505
{\an8}That's exactly right.
3616
03:46:42,538 --> 03:46:45,558
{\an8}You are seeing it through whatever prism
you want to see it through.
3617
03:46:45,592 --> 03:46:48,144
{\an8}If you're a Katie Taylor fan,
you think she's doing great right now.
3618
03:46:48,177 --> 03:46:50,813
{\an8}If you're an Amanda Serrano fan,
you think she's ahead.
3619
03:46:50,847 --> 03:46:54,300
{\an8}The only three people in the world
that have a difficult moment
3620
03:46:54,334 --> 03:46:56,085
{\an8}ahead of them are the three judges.
3621
03:46:57,670 --> 03:46:59,889
{\an8}The rest of the world
is loving every second.
3622
03:46:59,922 --> 03:47:03,293
{\an8}Right and when two minute
rounds the judges sometimes count
3623
03:47:03,326 --> 03:47:06,696
{\an8}that last punch of the combination
or they count the power shots
3624
03:47:06,729 --> 03:47:09,849
{\an8}or they might count the last punch
that lands in the last ten seconds
3625
03:47:09,882 --> 03:47:12,735
{\an8}of the round that'll win you
the fight in the round.
3626
03:47:14,671 --> 03:47:18,124
{\an8}But the way their styles
mesh it's one will get off
3627
03:47:18,157 --> 03:47:20,943
{\an8}and throw two or three maybe land one
or two and then the other one gets off
3628
03:47:20,977 --> 03:47:22,729
{\an8}and it's like they just take turns.
3629
03:47:24,998 --> 03:47:27,400
{\an8}It's interesting with all the talk
from the Serrano camp
3630
03:47:27,433 --> 03:47:29,569
{\an8}in the first two fights
about the volume of punches.
3631
03:47:29,602 --> 03:47:31,187
There's another good one from Serrano.
3632
03:47:31,220 --> 03:47:34,674
It's Katie Taylor who's landed more
punches here through seven rounds.
3633
03:47:55,862 --> 03:47:57,814
Baby, you're winning.
3634
03:47:59,248 --> 03:48:02,201
You gotta be smarter, baby.
I want those straight one-two
3635
03:48:02,235 --> 03:48:05,021
down the middle and move!
Don't stay there.
3636
03:48:05,054 --> 03:48:07,473
You're doing good. You're winning this.
3637
03:48:07,507 --> 03:48:10,827
And you're looking fantastic.
People didn't think you knew how to box.
3638
03:48:10,860 --> 03:48:11,928
Go out there.
3639
03:48:11,961 --> 03:48:14,197
Remember we said
we're gonna use our head for smart.
3640
03:48:14,230 --> 03:48:16,849
Keep her turning. Double the jab.
3641
03:48:16,883 --> 03:48:19,502
And as long as she's backing up
with a double jab,
3642
03:48:19,535 --> 03:48:22,088
don't fall into a war.
3643
03:48:22,638 --> 03:48:25,608
One-two, double jab.
Down the middle. One-two.
3644
03:48:25,641 --> 03:48:27,427
Turn her, baby. Remember that?
3645
03:48:27,460 --> 03:48:29,996
That's the basic we always did.
Turn her. One-two.
3646
03:48:31,781 --> 03:48:34,734
Jordan Maldonado's wife, Cindy Serrano,
3647
03:48:35,284 --> 03:48:39,739
who tried to bully her sister
out of boxing and was unsuccessful,
3648
03:48:39,772 --> 03:48:41,240
{\an8}to say the least.
3649
03:48:50,867 --> 03:48:52,351
{\an8}The last time these two met,
3650
03:48:53,086 --> 03:48:57,824
{\an8}they broke CompuBox, but they have
fought a far more disciplined fight,
3651
03:48:57,857 --> 03:49:00,193
{\an8}a championship-caliber fight
here tonight.
3652
03:49:00,226 --> 03:49:03,229
{\an8}And that's not just
because they want to win this fight.
3653
03:49:03,262 --> 03:49:06,432
{\an8}Both those ladies took a lot
of punishment in those 20 rounds.
3654
03:49:06,466 --> 03:49:08,618
{\an8}We don't go home with them.
We're not in the emergency room.
3655
03:49:08,651 --> 03:49:12,989
{\an8}We don't deal with the symptoms
of a concussion for a week or two,
3656
03:49:13,022 --> 03:49:15,625
{\an8}and the cut, and all
the different things they gotta face.
3657
03:49:15,658 --> 03:49:18,361
{\an8}So that's also why these ladies
are fighting a smarter fight tonight.
3658
03:49:18,394 --> 03:49:21,247
{\an8}For months, we have heard
about the great trilogies,
3659
03:49:21,280 --> 03:49:24,951
{\an8}but think about the physical toll
that those trilogies…
3660
03:49:26,035 --> 03:49:28,204
{\an8}will put on the fighters that were in it.
3661
03:49:28,704 --> 03:49:29,789
{\an8}And I love watching this.
3662
03:49:29,822 --> 03:49:33,576
{\an8}I love watching them be strategic
and implement their game plans.
3663
03:49:40,950 --> 03:49:44,537
{\an8}They've left some time
for some fireworks, though, at the end.
3664
03:49:47,657 --> 03:49:50,827
{\an8}These championship rounds
they're both gonna bring it.
3665
03:49:52,445 --> 03:49:54,814
{\an8}I think Serrano right now even
if she's not landing she wants
3666
03:49:54,847 --> 03:49:57,567
{\an8}to look busier,
she wants to give the appearance
3667
03:49:57,600 --> 03:50:00,636
{\an8}and the optics as if she's in control.
Serrano landed one!
3668
03:50:01,170 --> 03:50:04,307
{\an8}And then Taylor landed one.
Even exchange right there.
3669
03:50:04,957 --> 03:50:08,261
{\an8}It almost happened again
identically right there in the same corner
3670
03:50:09,679 --> 03:50:11,214
{\an8}They are doppelgangers!
3671
03:50:12,498 --> 03:50:14,984
{\an8}That overhand left
by Amanda Serrano always lands
3672
03:50:15,017 --> 03:50:17,904
{\an8}when Katie Taylor
is in the corner on the ropes.
3673
03:50:19,605 --> 03:50:22,041
{\an8}Now you're starting
to see damage under the right eye
3674
03:50:22,074 --> 03:50:23,826
{\an8}of Katie Taylor for the first time.
3675
03:50:29,649 --> 03:50:32,568
There was simply no way
these two would disappoint us,
3676
03:50:32,602 --> 03:50:33,786
and they have not.
3677
03:50:34,654 --> 03:50:35,838
Through eight.
3678
03:50:40,943 --> 03:50:43,312
Come on! Come on!
3679
03:50:47,049 --> 03:50:49,001
Listen, you got two more, four minutes.
3680
03:50:49,035 --> 03:50:51,554
Listen, last two rounds,
it's a close fight.
3681
03:50:51,587 --> 03:50:53,039
You got to pick it up now, all right?
3682
03:50:53,072 --> 03:50:54,924
You got to go
on the front foot a little bit.
3683
03:50:54,957 --> 03:50:56,542
Trust your hand speed and get off.
3684
03:50:56,576 --> 03:50:58,411
When you finish, high guard.
3685
03:50:58,444 --> 03:50:59,829
Don't let her answer right back.
3686
03:50:59,862 --> 03:51:01,030
You understand me?
3687
03:51:01,063 --> 03:51:05,101
Get off, step back, step around,
turn out, follow the hook out.
3688
03:51:05,134 --> 03:51:07,503
But you get off first,
and you fucking take a walk.
3689
03:51:07,537 --> 03:51:09,071
Don't let her trade with you.
3690
03:51:09,105 --> 03:51:11,324
Don't let her punch when you finish.
You understand me?
3691
03:51:11,357 --> 03:51:13,092
And listen, when she's sitting small,
3692
03:51:13,125 --> 03:51:17,129
I'm telling you, sit your ass down
and fucking come in with a lead hook.
3693
03:51:17,163 --> 03:51:19,882
And here's that straight
right hand by Katie Taylor.
3694
03:51:19,916 --> 03:51:21,250
In hook, in hook.
3695
03:51:21,284 --> 03:51:22,735
And right after that,
3696
03:51:22,768 --> 03:51:26,172
we see Amanda Serrano come
with that overhand left.
3697
03:51:31,894 --> 03:51:33,813
In the first two fights,
3698
03:51:33,846 --> 03:51:38,467
Serrano and Taylor combined
for 43 landed punches per round.
3699
03:51:38,501 --> 03:51:40,419
{\an8}Tonight in the trilogy fight, 12.
3700
03:51:42,889 --> 03:51:44,574
{\an8}I think somebody's got
to step on the gas here.
3701
03:51:44,607 --> 03:51:47,209
{\an8}I'm not saying get reckless.
I'm not saying abandon the game plan,
3702
03:51:47,243 --> 03:51:49,829
{\an8}but you have
to throw enough punches to try
3703
03:51:49,862 --> 03:51:53,649
{\an8}to close out these next two rounds
if you're either fighting.
3704
03:51:53,683 --> 03:51:56,252
{\an8}And you heard Ross Enamait said
to Katie Taylor,
3705
03:51:56,285 --> 03:51:58,588
{\an8}-imploring her, trust your speed.
-Yes.
3706
03:51:59,188 --> 03:52:02,074
{\an8}He's saying, "Get the shot off,
know that you'll land,
3707
03:52:02,108 --> 03:52:05,244
{\an8}and you'll be able to get out
of there before a counter comes."
3708
03:52:07,863 --> 03:52:11,801
{\an8}I'm not sure we had numbers
like that in any of the first 20 rounds.
3709
03:52:19,108 --> 03:52:20,476
{\an8}And Amanda has got to work the body.
3710
03:52:20,509 --> 03:52:22,795
{\an8}She's forgotten about the body
throughout the fight.
3711
03:52:22,828 --> 03:52:26,282
{\an8}Work the body to try
to slow Katie Taylor's footwork down.
3712
03:52:28,718 --> 03:52:31,604
{\an8}Looks like Taylor's trying
to easily, I mean, just…
3713
03:52:31,637 --> 03:52:35,891
{\an8}ease her way forward and press
to try to take the play a little bit
3714
03:52:35,925 --> 03:52:39,629
{\an8}from Serrano because Serrano's been
pressing for the entirety of the fight.
3715
03:52:41,030 --> 03:52:42,865
{\an8}Good counter right there from Taylor.
3716
03:52:42,898 --> 03:52:44,767
{\an8}Miss from Serrano.
3717
03:52:54,610 --> 03:52:58,114
{\an8}The final rounds of the first
two fights were dazzling.
3718
03:53:02,234 --> 03:53:03,986
{\an8}I think this also speaks to the level
3719
03:53:04,020 --> 03:53:06,722
{\an8}of these ladies that they can win
a different type of way.
3720
03:53:06,756 --> 03:53:08,441
{\an8}We don't have to fight like that.
3721
03:53:09,809 --> 03:53:12,194
{\an8}Exactly. I love seeing
that this is women's boxing
3722
03:53:12,228 --> 03:53:14,246
{\an8}at its highest level.
3723
03:53:19,702 --> 03:53:21,337
{\an8}How do these big shots from both ladies
3724
03:53:21,370 --> 03:53:23,272
{\an8}just missing or grazing the other way?
3725
03:53:29,412 --> 03:53:32,615
There is virtually nothing through
29 rounds
3726
03:53:32,648 --> 03:53:35,918
that has separated two
of the greatest to ever do it.
3727
03:53:53,069 --> 03:53:57,990
Do me a favor. Throw one-twos, baby,
throw one-twos with my double jab.
3728
03:53:58,024 --> 03:53:59,558
Control it with the double jab.
3729
03:53:59,592 --> 03:54:01,060
Even if it doesn't do anything,
3730
03:54:01,093 --> 03:54:05,498
give me two, three jabs down the middle,
and she'll run into something.
3731
03:54:05,531 --> 03:54:09,151
Use the straight punches, baby.
You're ahead, baby. We got this.
3732
03:54:09,185 --> 03:54:11,404
Believe in you, baby.
We're gonna take this. We need this round.
3733
03:54:11,437 --> 03:54:13,923
This is our fight.
You win this round. This is your fight.
3734
03:54:13,956 --> 03:54:16,659
You understand me?
Don't let her out-hustle this round.
3735
03:54:17,159 --> 03:54:18,144
Don't let her out-hustle.
3736
03:54:18,177 --> 03:54:19,962
Let your own hands speak. Overwhelm her.
3737
03:54:19,995 --> 03:54:21,731
Shoot, shoot, shoot. Then high guard.
3738
03:54:21,764 --> 03:54:24,066
Step inside the pocket
and keep shooting on it.
3739
03:54:24,100 --> 03:54:25,701
You understand me? Busy, busy.
3740
03:54:25,735 --> 03:54:26,952
Nice, busy round.
3741
03:54:26,986 --> 03:54:28,454
Finish with an exclamation point.
3742
03:54:28,487 --> 03:54:30,156
Finish with an exclamation.
3743
03:54:30,673 --> 03:54:35,811
New York, this is the tenth
and final round!
3744
03:54:43,119 --> 03:54:45,404
{\an8}The sport will forever be in debt
3745
03:54:46,839 --> 03:54:50,860
{\an8}to Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano
for these three fights they have staged.
3746
03:54:51,527 --> 03:54:55,314
{\an8}The final round
of what could be the last dance.
3747
03:55:00,352 --> 03:55:02,621
{\an8}And Katie Taylor doing
a great job with those quick,
3748
03:55:02,655 --> 03:55:05,841
{\an8}fast counters and bouncing right out
to create the distance.
3749
03:55:05,875 --> 03:55:08,177
{\an8}And Katie Taylor went to the body there.
3750
03:55:26,645 --> 03:55:28,230
{\an8}Twenty thousand in the building,
3751
03:55:28,264 --> 03:55:31,834
{\an8}20 million around the world
who don't want this to end.
3752
03:55:40,910 --> 03:55:43,462
{\an8}Taylor having a lot of success
this round with clean shots,
3753
03:55:43,496 --> 03:55:45,314
{\an8}right hands and left hooks.
3754
03:55:45,931 --> 03:55:48,984
{\an8}Ending with that left hook
is what her corner wanted her to do,
3755
03:55:49,018 --> 03:55:52,254
{\an8}is continue to throw that left hook
and move right out.
3756
03:55:52,838 --> 03:55:55,124
{\an8}A strong tenth round for Katie Taylor.
3757
03:55:56,192 --> 03:55:58,043
{\an8}Serrano's gotta try to close.
3758
03:56:12,441 --> 03:56:15,010
{\an8}One spectacular hour.
3759
03:56:16,729 --> 03:56:19,665
{\an8}-Thirty rounds.
-Big round for Katie Taylor.
3760
03:56:19,698 --> 03:56:22,134
{\an8}For Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano,
3761
03:56:22,168 --> 03:56:24,803
{\an8}30 rounds into history.
3762
03:56:25,721 --> 03:56:29,024
{\an8}The margin between them
impossible to decipher.
3763
03:56:29,692 --> 03:56:34,196
{\an8}It seemed impossible,
but lightning strikes thrice.
3764
03:57:09,048 --> 03:57:12,201
As the world waits to find out who won,
3765
03:57:12,234 --> 03:57:15,254
I'll tell you right now, we all did.
3766
03:57:35,591 --> 03:57:37,426
Razor thin, start to finish.
3767
03:57:37,459 --> 03:57:40,963
A different fight and a smarter,
more polished fight than the first two.
3768
03:57:40,996 --> 03:57:43,115
Yes, both ladies
learned from those 20 rounds.
3769
03:57:43,148 --> 03:57:45,651
And when you fight 20 rounds
with another fighter,
3770
03:57:45,684 --> 03:57:47,202
you learn a lot about them,
3771
03:57:47,236 --> 03:57:49,054
so you have to change it up,
3772
03:57:49,088 --> 03:57:52,391
you have to fight a different gameplan
and you could get backed out.
3773
03:57:52,424 --> 03:57:54,660
And these ladies did that tonight.
3774
03:57:54,693 --> 03:57:56,211
It wasn't as much action,
3775
03:57:56,245 --> 03:57:59,131
but it was high-level skill,
high-level IQ,
3776
03:57:59,632 --> 03:58:03,552
and somebody is gonna win tonight
and not have to go to the emergency room.
3777
03:58:04,253 --> 03:58:06,305
So I think that's a double win.
3778
03:58:06,338 --> 03:58:07,456
A win for both ladies.
3779
03:58:07,489 --> 03:58:10,142
It was very different
from the first and second fight.
3780
03:58:16,899 --> 03:58:20,636
The goosebumps now
become about the decision.
3781
03:58:21,320 --> 03:58:26,308
Sean Wheelock, we just saw 30 rounds
that all added up to dead even.
3782
03:58:26,342 --> 03:58:27,576
Is that how you saw this one?
3783
03:58:27,609 --> 03:58:28,761
Absolutely, Sean.
3784
03:58:28,794 --> 03:58:32,581
And I saw ten
extremely close ten-nine rounds.
3785
03:58:32,614 --> 03:58:34,984
Ninety-five, 95.
3786
03:58:35,017 --> 03:58:38,387
The number one metric
in judging professional boxing
3787
03:58:38,420 --> 03:58:40,706
is which of the two fighters
landed the cleaner,
3788
03:58:40,739 --> 03:58:43,409
more effective punches
through all ten rounds.
3789
03:58:43,442 --> 03:58:45,611
When you're looking
at that metric shot,
3790
03:58:45,644 --> 03:58:49,198
it's determined by one
or two clean, effective punches.
3791
03:58:49,231 --> 03:58:51,633
That, of course, the unofficial scorecard.
3792
03:58:54,953 --> 03:58:58,424
We live… For those of you
watching this back years from now,
3793
03:58:58,457 --> 03:59:00,926
you know what we're about to hear.
3794
03:59:00,959 --> 03:59:04,163
We don't. So to me, it is a moment,
3795
03:59:04,196 --> 03:59:08,283
regardless of who's going to walk
with their hands held high tonight.
3796
03:59:08,784 --> 03:59:12,054
The entire sport
is in an extraordinary debt
3797
03:59:12,087 --> 03:59:13,605
of gratitude to these two.
3798
03:59:14,907 --> 03:59:16,408
Absolutely, what a--
3799
03:59:16,442 --> 03:59:19,378
just a wonderful moment,
a wonderful atmosphere.
3800
03:59:19,411 --> 03:59:22,331
And everything that Katie Taylor
and Amanda Serrano have done
3801
03:59:22,364 --> 03:59:25,034
for women's boxing,
elevating women's boxing,
3802
03:59:25,067 --> 03:59:26,835
the whole world is watching tonight.
3803
03:59:26,869 --> 03:59:30,706
And now they know women's boxing is here,
and women's boxing is here to stay.
3804
03:59:42,651 --> 03:59:46,038
Big Mo has the answer
the world has been waiting for.
3805
03:59:52,177 --> 03:59:55,030
Ladies and gentlemen…
3806
03:59:55,714 --> 03:59:59,568
another round of applause
for these two tonight!
3807
04:00:02,988 --> 04:00:06,125
After ten full championship rounds,
3808
04:00:06,158 --> 04:00:09,178
we go to the judges' scorecard
for the official decision.
3809
04:00:09,795 --> 04:00:13,115
Judge Mark Lyson sees the contest…
3810
04:00:13,148 --> 04:00:16,135
95 to 95.
3811
04:00:17,603 --> 04:00:22,474
While judges Nicholas Esnault
and Steve Weisfeld see the contest
3812
04:00:22,508 --> 04:00:25,461
97 to 93.
3813
04:00:25,494 --> 04:00:28,897
Declaring your winner
by majority decision…
3814
04:00:29,848 --> 04:00:33,001
and still…
3815
04:00:33,852 --> 04:00:40,793
the undisputed super lightweight champion
3816
04:00:40,826 --> 04:00:44,730
of the world…
3817
04:00:45,230 --> 04:00:47,866
Katie
3818
04:00:47,900 --> 04:00:52,538
Taylor!
3819
04:01:08,520 --> 04:01:09,905
{\an8}Come on!
3820
04:01:14,793 --> 04:01:18,597
If that is the final image
of Katie Taylor,
3821
04:01:19,448 --> 04:01:22,451
it is as storybook as it comes.
3822
04:01:30,792 --> 04:01:36,482
Irish eyes and the Taylor family
will be smiling all night long.
3823
04:01:46,508 --> 04:01:48,410
Imagine the relief…
3824
04:01:49,428 --> 04:01:51,914
and imagine the despair…
3825
04:01:52,664 --> 04:01:55,717
for that woman
who put everything into this trilogy.
3826
04:01:56,351 --> 04:02:00,856
And it's almost cruel
how close these three fights were…
3827
04:02:01,490 --> 04:02:04,359
-to not end up with one.
-Extremely close.
3828
04:02:04,393 --> 04:02:07,412
And, you know, that's something
that Amanda Serrano is, uh,
3829
04:02:07,446 --> 04:02:10,999
going to have to just think
about all the time
3830
04:02:11,033 --> 04:02:12,634
and live with.
3831
04:02:12,668 --> 04:02:15,187
But no matter what,
that doesn't take away from her greatness.
3832
04:02:15,220 --> 04:02:18,774
Amanda Serrano has done so much to change
the sport of women's boxing,
3833
04:02:18,807 --> 04:02:20,876
and she's appreciated by so many.
3834
04:02:22,294 --> 04:02:25,397
Ariel Helwani is with Katie Taylor.
3835
04:02:26,899 --> 04:02:30,185
Thank you very much, Sean.
Katie, congratulations!
3836
04:02:30,219 --> 04:02:33,188
Another incredible fight,
another incredible win.
3837
04:02:33,222 --> 04:02:37,392
First off, your immediate thoughts
and feelings after that battle.
3838
04:02:37,426 --> 04:02:41,413
{\an8}Well, first of all, I just want
to thank God for an amazing victory.
3839
04:02:41,446 --> 04:02:43,265
{\an8}Thank you, Jesus. I--
3840
04:02:43,298 --> 04:02:46,268
{\an8}I needed a lot of help,
a lot of strength today.
3841
04:02:46,301 --> 04:02:48,654
{\an8}I can't tell you how many people
are on the stage right now
3842
04:02:48,687 --> 04:02:50,722
{\an8}praying for me for this particular fight.
3843
04:02:50,756 --> 04:02:54,660
And that gives you the strength
to step in here.
3844
04:02:54,693 --> 04:02:56,828
And I just want
to thank Amanda Serrano as well.
3845
04:02:56,862 --> 04:03:00,365
What an amazing fighter.
We've made history again three times.
3846
04:03:00,399 --> 04:03:01,833
It's such an historic fight.
3847
04:03:01,867 --> 04:03:03,635
It's such a privilege
to share the ring with her.
3848
04:03:03,669 --> 04:03:06,054
And, um, we're history makers forever,
3849
04:03:06,088 --> 04:03:07,806
and my name is embedded
with Amanda's forever,
3850
04:03:07,839 --> 04:03:10,592
-and I'm so happy about that.
-As you should be.
3851
04:03:10,626 --> 04:03:12,411
One judge had it a draw.
3852
04:03:12,444 --> 04:03:14,179
It was obviously very close.
3853
04:03:14,746 --> 04:03:17,532
As we see a nice embrace here
by the two warriors.
3854
04:03:17,566 --> 04:03:19,401
We'll get to Amanda in a moment.
3855
04:03:19,434 --> 04:03:21,303
Katie, did you feel
like you had done enough
3856
04:03:21,336 --> 04:03:23,589
to win the fight
before you heard the scorecards?
3857
04:03:23,622 --> 04:03:25,173
Yeah, I thought. I obviously don't know.
3858
04:03:25,207 --> 04:03:27,242
I thought I was boxing
very, very smart, very well.
3859
04:03:27,276 --> 04:03:29,478
She wasn't catching me much tonight.
3860
04:03:29,511 --> 04:03:32,914
But it's always a very, very close contest
between myself and Amanda.
3861
04:03:32,948 --> 04:03:35,350
Sometimes it's hard
to tell from each round.
3862
04:03:35,384 --> 04:03:37,336
But I just thank God
that my hand was raised.
3863
04:03:37,369 --> 04:03:39,288
I had a three and oh.
3864
04:03:39,321 --> 04:03:41,590
It was a beautiful, measured performance.
3865
04:03:42,140 --> 04:03:45,394
Unofficially, you both landed
the exact amount of punches.
3866
04:03:45,427 --> 04:03:47,512
A different kind
of output than the last fight.
3867
04:03:47,546 --> 04:03:49,081
Was that part of the game plan?
3868
04:03:49,114 --> 04:03:50,882
Yeah, I was obviously planning
to come in here
3869
04:03:50,916 --> 04:03:52,618
and fight disciplined and smart.
3870
04:03:52,651 --> 04:03:54,569
I was planning
to do two times as well,
3871
04:03:54,603 --> 04:03:56,204
but it just didn't work out like that.
3872
04:03:56,238 --> 04:03:59,124
But thankfully, I was able
to execute the game plan very well.
3873
04:03:59,157 --> 04:04:01,209
Move my feet,
don't let her stare at her feet.
3874
04:04:01,243 --> 04:04:05,247
And that's what I was trying
to do all along.
3875
04:04:05,280 --> 04:04:08,100
I just have a huge total respect
for Amanda.
3876
04:04:08,133 --> 04:04:10,268
She's just-- what a warrior.
3877
04:04:10,302 --> 04:04:13,021
Amanda, thank you so much. Yeah.
3878
04:04:13,055 --> 04:04:15,574
And Katie, can I just ask,
I mean, what a crowd,
3879
04:04:15,607 --> 04:04:16,925
what a reception here for you.
3880
04:04:16,958 --> 04:04:17,876
It sounds--
3881
04:04:19,111 --> 04:04:21,313
It sounds like we're
in the 3Arena right now.
3882
04:04:21,346 --> 04:04:22,614
It is so loud.
3883
04:04:22,648 --> 04:04:25,767
The amount of support that you are
getting here in New York.
3884
04:04:25,801 --> 04:04:28,787
What does this all mean to you
as you approach the latter stage
3885
04:04:28,820 --> 04:04:29,921
of your career?
3886
04:04:29,955 --> 04:04:32,040
Oh gosh! I can't tell you
how much it means to me.
3887
04:04:32,074 --> 04:04:34,292
People are spending
their hard-earned money
3888
04:04:34,326 --> 04:04:37,012
to come over and support me,
to watch me.
3889
04:04:37,045 --> 04:04:38,597
I just love you all. I love my country.
3890
04:04:38,630 --> 04:04:41,116
Every time I step in here,
I represent my country.
3891
04:04:41,149 --> 04:04:43,268
I represent every single
one of you guys, so…
3892
04:04:43,301 --> 04:04:45,053
I thank you so much.
3893
04:04:45,087 --> 04:04:47,739
Well, it also sounds like we're
in San Juan at the same time.
3894
04:04:47,773 --> 04:04:49,658
Amanda, if you don't mind
coming right over here,
3895
04:04:49,691 --> 04:04:53,528
if I can ask you a quick question
or two about the performance.
3896
04:04:53,562 --> 04:04:57,432
What did you think about the fight
and ultimately about the scorecard?
3897
04:04:57,466 --> 04:04:59,017
Listen, I tried something different.
3898
04:04:59,051 --> 04:05:01,420
It was all
about working smarter, not harder.
3899
04:05:01,453 --> 04:05:03,939
I tried to keep my distance,
tried not to go in there
3900
04:05:03,972 --> 04:05:05,657
{\an8}and fight with her
3901
04:05:05,691 --> 04:05:07,993
{\an8}because apparently,
it didn't work the first two fights.
3902
04:05:08,026 --> 04:05:11,663
{\an8}So we tried to just stick
with the long punches, the one-twos.
3903
04:05:11,697 --> 04:05:14,232
And I guess--
I mean, it just wasn't enough.
3904
04:05:14,266 --> 04:05:16,201
One judge saw it even.
3905
04:05:16,234 --> 04:05:18,003
I got a couple of rounds. I don't know.
3906
04:05:18,036 --> 04:05:20,105
Honestly, I have to go back and see it.
3907
04:05:20,138 --> 04:05:21,440
My team said I won.
3908
04:05:21,473 --> 04:05:23,542
Obviously, I'm going to go
with what my team tells me.
3909
04:05:23,575 --> 04:05:25,794
They were telling me what to do,
and I was trying
3910
04:05:25,827 --> 04:05:27,963
to apply it in the ring, so--
3911
04:05:27,996 --> 04:05:32,150
But I really want to thank you,
for every single one of you coming out
3912
04:05:32,184 --> 04:05:34,219
and supporting women's boxing.
3913
04:05:34,252 --> 04:05:35,787
It was truly…
3914
04:05:37,372 --> 04:05:41,009
…an amazing night for all of us women.
3915
04:05:41,042 --> 04:05:43,845
And I'm crying because--
3916
04:05:44,546 --> 04:05:46,615
because it's all because of you guys.
3917
04:05:46,648 --> 04:05:48,433
You guys support us women.
3918
04:05:49,418 --> 04:05:53,438
And thanks to all of you,
we're able to show our skills.
3919
04:05:53,472 --> 04:05:56,792
We're able to have
this great platform for women.
3920
04:05:56,825 --> 04:05:59,811
Thank you so much to
MVP, Nakisa and Jake Paul.
3921
04:05:59,845 --> 04:06:00,962
You changed my life.
3922
04:06:00,996 --> 04:06:02,814
You changed all these women's lives.
3923
04:06:02,848 --> 04:06:07,068
Thank you to Netflix for allowing us women
to showcase our skills,
3924
04:06:07,102 --> 04:06:09,271
to showcase that we're warriors.
3925
04:06:09,304 --> 04:06:11,339
We can fight. We can sell.
3926
04:06:11,373 --> 04:06:13,158
And we look good doing it.
3927
04:06:13,191 --> 04:06:15,010
Thank you, MSG, once again,
3928
04:06:15,043 --> 04:06:17,712
for allowing us
to sell out your beautiful place.
3929
04:06:17,746 --> 04:06:21,032
It's always an honor to fight here,
to fight in New York.
3930
04:06:21,066 --> 04:06:24,102
And I am a proud Boricua, proud Latina.
3931
04:06:24,136 --> 04:06:25,771
My island, I love you very much.
3932
04:06:25,804 --> 04:06:29,858
I'll see you tomorrow
so I can celebrate with you all.
3933
04:06:29,891 --> 04:06:30,876
I love you very much.
3934
04:06:30,909 --> 04:06:33,411
Everyone, thank you. Thank you so much.
3935
04:06:33,445 --> 04:06:36,014
Thank you, Katie Taylor,
for an incredible three fights
3936
04:06:36,047 --> 04:06:37,382
and incredible 30 rounds.
3937
04:06:37,415 --> 04:06:38,934
It's been truly an honor.
3938
04:06:38,967 --> 04:06:41,303
And it's been amazing
to be with you, facing.
3939
04:06:41,336 --> 04:06:43,538
You're a true champion, a true warrior.
3940
04:06:43,572 --> 04:06:45,991
Thank you so much to all the ladies
3941
04:06:46,024 --> 04:06:49,027
that fought tonight.
You guys did incredible.
3942
04:06:49,060 --> 04:06:51,062
We did it, baby. We did it.
3943
04:06:51,096 --> 04:06:53,732
We made history once again.
3944
04:06:53,765 --> 04:06:55,734
Thanks to all of you guys.
3945
04:06:55,767 --> 04:06:58,954
We did it.
I'm proud of each and every one of you.
3946
04:06:58,987 --> 04:07:01,122
Thank you guys and love you all.
3947
04:07:01,156 --> 04:07:04,359
And you should be very proud
of yourself as well, Amanda.
3948
04:07:04,392 --> 04:07:06,044
Katie, we'll end with you.
3949
04:07:06,077 --> 04:07:08,163
You both said before the fight,
"We're done."
3950
04:07:08,196 --> 04:07:10,799
"We're not going to do it a fourth time."
3951
04:07:10,832 --> 04:07:13,585
And obviously a story going into this
3952
04:07:13,618 --> 04:07:16,488
is how many more great fights
you have left.
3953
04:07:16,521 --> 04:07:18,957
Can you confirm that you will
keep going after this?
3954
04:07:18,990 --> 04:07:21,426
I don't know, but I just don't want
to fight Amanda Serrano again.
3955
04:07:21,459 --> 04:07:24,212
She punches too hard.
3956
04:07:24,863 --> 04:07:26,781
Amazing.
3957
04:07:26,815 --> 04:07:30,252
Well, once again, New York City,
Madison Square Garden,
3958
04:07:30,285 --> 04:07:33,755
please show some love
to these legends,
3959
04:07:33,788 --> 04:07:36,658
Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano.
3960
04:07:41,713 --> 04:07:44,966
Three fights they will be
talking about for generations.
3961
04:07:45,700 --> 04:07:47,252
Three coin flips.
3962
04:07:47,285 --> 04:07:49,688
And sometimes when
you flip a coin three times,
3963
04:07:49,721 --> 04:07:51,540
it comes up heads three times.
3964
04:07:52,624 --> 04:07:55,994
But those are the three best
coin flips any of us have ever seen.
3965
04:07:57,963 --> 04:08:00,048
The final punch stats you see way down
3966
04:08:00,081 --> 04:08:02,534
and that will be the discussion topic
3967
04:08:02,567 --> 04:08:04,920
in the immediate aftermath of this fight,
3968
04:08:04,953 --> 04:08:06,588
is how both of them changed.
3969
04:08:06,621 --> 04:08:09,841
Both were more conservative
in this third fight.
3970
04:08:09,875 --> 04:08:13,261
And did Amanda Serrano have to be
more aggressive at the end of the day
3971
04:08:13,295 --> 04:08:16,498
to win the decision
and to win this third fight?
3972
04:08:57,055 --> 04:09:00,191
When you look at Ross Enamait, Seniesa,
3973
04:09:00,926 --> 04:09:02,877
there's almost relief there.
3974
04:09:02,911 --> 04:09:07,015
I think he felt, as it was going on,
this was the closest of the three fights.
3975
04:09:07,699 --> 04:09:11,436
It was definitely close.
I mean, fight number one was close,
3976
04:09:11,469 --> 04:09:12,454
fight number two was close,
3977
04:09:12,487 --> 04:09:14,472
and there was many
close rounds in this fight,
3978
04:09:14,506 --> 04:09:18,526
but that's what you get
with two-minute rounds
3979
04:09:18,560 --> 04:09:22,764
and that's what you get when you get
two high-skill level fighters.
3980
04:09:24,015 --> 04:09:26,084
I have a hunch, just a hunch,
3981
04:09:26,117 --> 04:09:29,204
there's gonna be a long celebration
tonight in New York City.
3982
04:09:29,237 --> 04:09:30,922
Definitely a long celebration,
3983
04:09:30,956 --> 04:09:35,160
and I'm sure Katie Taylor is very happy
to put this trilogy to rest.
3984
04:09:43,351 --> 04:09:45,904
And what is next
for Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor,
3985
04:09:45,937 --> 04:09:46,938
that can't wait.
3986
04:09:47,439 --> 04:09:49,090
People will be curious.
3987
04:09:50,875 --> 04:09:56,898
But they deserve the time
to enjoy the fruits of their labors.
3988
04:09:56,931 --> 04:10:01,703
Not just for themselves and their careers,
but what they have done for this sport.
3989
04:10:03,655 --> 04:10:07,158
Seniesa, when you started in this,
this was inconceivable,
3990
04:10:07,192 --> 04:10:09,577
that this could happen,
and look at where we are
3991
04:10:09,611 --> 04:10:10,745
and look at this environment.
3992
04:10:10,779 --> 04:10:12,981
It's so incredible. I've just been…
3993
04:10:13,515 --> 04:10:16,534
The little girl in me
who started boxing at eight years old
3994
04:10:16,568 --> 04:10:18,837
has just been so excited all week
3995
04:10:18,870 --> 04:10:23,158
to see women's boxing
on this amazing platform,
3996
04:10:23,191 --> 04:10:26,544
on Netflix, getting all the attention
that these women deserve,
3997
04:10:26,578 --> 04:10:28,179
they've been working so hard.
3998
04:10:28,213 --> 04:10:32,617
And from going unseen
to now being seen worldwide,
3999
04:10:32,650 --> 04:10:35,754
it's just so heartwarming for me to see.
4000
04:10:51,503 --> 04:10:54,039
You never know what happens
when you walk into a building,
4001
04:10:54,072 --> 04:10:56,291
how the night is going to end.
4002
04:10:56,324 --> 04:10:59,244
But on rare occasions like this,
4003
04:10:59,277 --> 04:11:01,396
you knew it was going to be history,
4004
04:11:01,429 --> 04:11:03,515
you knew it was going to be spectacular.
4005
04:11:03,548 --> 04:11:05,166
And it was.
4006
04:11:05,200 --> 04:11:07,819
The final image of Katie Taylor
coming to New York,
4007
04:11:07,852 --> 04:11:11,873
coming to the United States
not once, not twice, but three times
4008
04:11:11,906 --> 04:11:13,274
to beat Amanda Serrano.
4009
04:11:30,992 --> 04:11:34,129
{\an8}We've seen a lot
of things over those 30 rounds
4010
04:11:34,162 --> 04:11:35,713
{\an8}and those 60 minutes.
4011
04:11:35,747 --> 04:11:37,298
{\an8}And we can discu--
4012
04:11:37,332 --> 04:11:40,251
{\an8}Let's just shut down
this robbery nonsense right now.
4013
04:11:40,285 --> 04:11:42,087
We saw three spectacular fights.
4014
04:11:42,120 --> 04:11:44,689
All three could have gone either way.
4015
04:11:44,722 --> 04:11:46,741
The winner tonight, yes, was Katie Taylor.
4016
04:11:46,775 --> 04:11:48,443
The winner tonight was the sport,
4017
04:11:49,227 --> 04:11:50,995
and all of us
that got to watch them fight.
4018
04:11:51,029 --> 04:11:52,614
They gave us three incredible fights,
4019
04:11:52,647 --> 04:11:54,532
and I love how they both tried
4020
04:11:54,566 --> 04:11:56,818
to make adjustments
in this third fight,
4021
04:11:56,851 --> 04:11:59,671
which was great to see
because it showed a different IQ,
4022
04:11:59,704 --> 04:12:00,738
a different skill level.
4023
04:12:00,772 --> 04:12:03,758
And as you said, no matter what,
women's boxing won tonight.
4024
04:12:03,792 --> 04:12:08,129
Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano have
changed the sport of women's boxing,
4025
04:12:08,163 --> 04:12:09,814
and it's just so amazing to see.
4026
04:12:09,848 --> 04:12:13,034
And Jake Paul and Nakisa
are all in on women's boxing,
4027
04:12:13,067 --> 04:12:14,686
and I'm excited
to see what's next.
4028
04:12:14,719 --> 04:12:15,937
You were part of it.
4029
04:12:15,970 --> 04:12:18,406
You helped this build
as much as anybody else.
4030
04:12:19,290 --> 04:12:22,844
Kate, you have seen some amazing things
in your career,
4031
04:12:22,877 --> 04:12:24,045
been around the world,
4032
04:12:24,078 --> 04:12:26,614
some of the great
sporting events and environments.
4033
04:12:26,648 --> 04:12:29,300
I would imagine this had
to be right up there tonight.
4034
04:12:30,852 --> 04:12:34,606
Absolutely, Sean.
Absolutely, right up there at the top.
4035
04:12:34,639 --> 04:12:37,075
I feel honored to be part of this evening.
4036
04:12:37,108 --> 04:12:39,878
Honored to be sitting next to Laila Ali,
to be on a broadcast
4037
04:12:39,911 --> 04:12:43,131
with Seniesa Estrada and
to watch a fight like this in person.
4038
04:12:43,164 --> 04:12:44,766
It is so good to have you still with us.
4039
04:12:44,799 --> 04:12:47,468
{\an8}Welcome back to our desk
in Madison Square Garden, New York City.
4040
04:12:47,502 --> 04:12:51,356
{\an8}I'm Kate Scott, back with the undefeated
Hall of Famers, Laila Ali
4041
04:12:51,389 --> 04:12:52,490
{\an8}and Andre Ward.
4042
04:12:52,524 --> 04:12:55,360
{\an8}Okay, we didn't get an all-time classic
like we saw,
4043
04:12:55,393 --> 04:12:56,744
maybe, in the first two fights.
4044
04:12:56,778 --> 04:12:58,413
That was an elite fight, though,
4045
04:12:58,446 --> 04:13:01,716
and it was a very classy
boxing performance from Katie Taylor.
4046
04:13:01,749 --> 04:13:03,051
I was happy to see it.
4047
04:13:03,084 --> 04:13:06,921
She did exactly what I said I thought
she needed to do in order to win.
4048
04:13:06,955 --> 04:13:08,957
She was hitting and moving, you know.
4049
04:13:08,990 --> 04:13:11,843
At first, I was like, "Okay, I want you
to throw a few more punches now."
4050
04:13:11,876 --> 04:13:13,728
You know, "Let's see some action."
4051
04:13:13,761 --> 04:13:17,482
But yeah, and Amanda has so much
to be proud of herself.
4052
04:13:17,515 --> 04:13:18,783
She's such a great warrior.
4053
04:13:18,816 --> 04:13:23,471
She has been so instrumental
in creating this platform
4054
04:13:23,504 --> 04:13:25,223
for the women that fought tonight.
4055
04:13:25,256 --> 04:13:27,709
You know, it's just been a great night.
I was happy to see it.
4056
04:13:27,742 --> 04:13:29,260
Women's boxing did win.
4057
04:13:29,294 --> 04:13:33,498
Did we put to bed any of the controversy
from the first two fights, Andre?
4058
04:13:33,531 --> 04:13:36,351
It is very loud in here.
I can't even hear myself,
4059
04:13:36,384 --> 04:13:40,438
so I don't know if I'm yelling
or what, but I'm gonna go for it.
4060
04:13:40,471 --> 04:13:41,990
It's tough, you know.
4061
04:13:42,023 --> 04:13:44,192
I mean, Amanda Serrano
fought 30 rounds.
4062
04:13:44,225 --> 04:13:45,476
She fought her heart out.
4063
04:13:46,895 --> 04:13:49,664
And it didn't go her way
any of the three times.
4064
04:13:49,697 --> 04:13:53,484
But you can't take that away
from Katie Taylor and knock her
4065
04:13:53,518 --> 04:13:56,521
because she's done her part
in this rivalry.
4066
04:13:57,055 --> 04:13:58,957
And tonight, both ladies did
4067
04:13:58,990 --> 04:14:01,609
what we said they needed
to do, fight smarter.
4068
04:14:01,643 --> 04:14:04,329
That means less action,
less punches thrown,
4069
04:14:04,362 --> 04:14:07,815
{\an8}but also they take less punches,
but throwing the right punches
4070
04:14:07,849 --> 04:14:09,901
{\an8}and landing enough punches
to get the nod.
4071
04:14:09,934 --> 04:14:12,153
{\an8}-Katie Taylor did that tonight.
-Yes.
4072
04:14:12,186 --> 04:14:15,206
{\an8}Amanda Serrano is a very special fighter.
4073
04:14:15,240 --> 04:14:17,742
{\an8}She said coming into this fight,
"I really need this win."
4074
04:14:17,775 --> 04:14:19,544
{\an8}She's now got four losses on her record.
4075
04:14:19,577 --> 04:14:22,230
Three of them are to Katie Taylor.
That has to hurt.
4076
04:14:22,263 --> 04:14:23,298
It definitely has to hurt.
4077
04:14:23,331 --> 04:14:26,584
That never feels good to lose,
especially to lose three times.
4078
04:14:27,502 --> 04:14:31,839
{\an8}But, like I said, she is a warrior.
I mean, you gotta love Amanda.
4079
04:14:31,873 --> 04:14:34,626
{\an8}She's such a sweetie pie.
She's so gracious. She's so kind.
4080
04:14:34,659 --> 04:14:35,693
{\an8}She always talks about--
4081
04:14:35,727 --> 04:14:37,562
{\an8}She said-- I saw an interview
where she said,
4082
04:14:37,595 --> 04:14:40,398
{\an8}"I don't care about me,
I care about these women." Right?
4083
04:14:40,431 --> 04:14:43,418
{\an8}So, she's going to be a big force
in the sport.
4084
04:14:43,451 --> 04:14:46,337
{\an8}I think that she's going to continue
to help women's boxing grow.
4085
04:14:46,371 --> 04:14:48,656
{\an8}I mean, we can't do anything
about what happened tonight.
4086
04:14:48,690 --> 04:14:50,174
{\an8}Obviously, she gave it her all.
4087
04:14:50,208 --> 04:14:53,344
{\an8}You know, we got to move on,
right, so, um, you know.
4088
04:14:53,378 --> 04:14:55,430
{\an8}Can't ask for more than what she gave.
4089
04:14:55,463 --> 04:14:59,350
{\an8}Does tonight set the bar, Andre,
for women's boxing moving forward?
4090
04:14:59,384 --> 04:15:01,085
{\an8}Oh, yes, it does.
4091
04:15:01,119 --> 04:15:03,571
{\an8}It's a great bar. It's set very high.
4092
04:15:03,604 --> 04:15:06,341
{\an8}And, you know, all the reports
about women's boxing
4093
04:15:06,374 --> 04:15:11,329
{\an8}not being watchable, can't sell,
those reports were greatly exaggerated.
4094
04:15:11,362 --> 04:15:13,448
That was proven tonight.
And it's really been proven,
4095
04:15:13,481 --> 04:15:16,100
but it was recognized
on the biggest stage tonight,
4096
04:15:16,134 --> 04:15:18,987
and I think it's only bigger
and better from here.
4097
04:15:19,020 --> 04:15:21,172
Do we have any thoughts
on what we would like
4098
04:15:21,205 --> 04:15:22,940
to see next from Katie Taylor?
4099
04:15:22,974 --> 04:15:24,742
There's another potential trilogy
out there.
4100
04:15:24,776 --> 04:15:26,728
She's one-on-one with Chantelle Cameron.
4101
04:15:27,278 --> 04:15:28,980
Maybe that's a future fight for her?
4102
04:15:29,013 --> 04:15:33,267
I got a feeling that Taylor
may be making that move.
4103
04:15:33,301 --> 04:15:36,387
You know, she's getting older.
She's got rounds under her belt.
4104
04:15:36,421 --> 04:15:38,539
{\an8}And we always forget the amateur days
4105
04:15:38,573 --> 04:15:40,641
{\an8}and the rounds, the sparring,
and the fights
4106
04:15:40,675 --> 04:15:42,310
{\an8}at the highest level for her.
4107
04:15:42,343 --> 04:15:44,746
{\an8}So I think she's probably either done
4108
04:15:44,779 --> 04:15:46,948
{\an8}or about to be done,
in my personal opinion.
4109
04:15:47,448 --> 04:15:49,283
{\an8}Okay, well, thank you so, guys.
4110
04:15:49,317 --> 04:15:51,569
{\an8}It's always wonderful
to hear your thoughts.
4111
04:15:51,602 --> 04:15:54,038
{\an8}Laila and Andre, always love
to hear your thoughts
4112
04:15:54,072 --> 04:15:56,674
{\an8}We do still have more to come
from Madison Square Garden
4113
04:15:56,708 --> 04:15:59,010
{\an8}on a monumental night
for women's boxing
4114
04:16:02,730 --> 04:16:05,550
It's been
a very special night to be a part of.
4115
04:16:05,583 --> 04:16:07,585
I know that, you know,
4116
04:16:07,618 --> 04:16:10,405
before there was Amanda and Katie,
there was you.
4117
04:16:10,438 --> 04:16:13,708
Before there was you,
there was other female fighters
4118
04:16:13,741 --> 04:16:16,611
who paved that way as well,
Christy Martin and others.
4119
04:16:16,644 --> 04:16:19,731
Do you have a message for any young girls
who were watching this evening
4120
04:16:19,764 --> 04:16:21,716
that feel inspired by what they saw?
4121
04:16:21,749 --> 04:16:24,702
There's so many women
that were not mentioned tonight
4122
04:16:24,736 --> 04:16:27,688
on the videos,
you can't mention everybody, right?
4123
04:16:27,722 --> 04:16:30,108
But they've been working so hard
and didn't get any recognition,
4124
04:16:30,141 --> 04:16:32,009
and I know they're probably
all watching now,
4125
04:16:32,043 --> 04:16:35,163
feeling so proud and so supportive.
Just like I said to Jake,
4126
04:16:35,196 --> 04:16:37,065
"Why didn't you do this
when I was boxing?"
4127
04:16:37,098 --> 04:16:38,383
You know? But I just hope
4128
04:16:38,416 --> 04:16:42,336
that just like when I saw
Christy Martin for the first time,
4129
04:16:42,370 --> 04:16:44,021
that's when I decided
that I wanted to box.
4130
04:16:44,055 --> 04:16:46,257
So I'm sure someone
found some inspiration tonight.
4131
04:16:46,290 --> 04:16:47,458
And even if you don't wanna box,
4132
04:16:47,492 --> 04:16:50,361
not everyone wanna be crazy like us
and be fighters,
4133
04:16:50,395 --> 04:16:53,664
but just go after your dreams.
Don't let anyone hold you back, right?
4134
04:16:53,698 --> 04:16:56,067
If I would have let
the greatest of all time, Muhammad Ali,
4135
04:16:56,100 --> 04:16:59,036
tell me, "Don't do it,"
'cause he was afraid,
4136
04:16:59,070 --> 04:17:00,538
I would have had so many regrets.
4137
04:17:00,571 --> 04:17:02,807
And he came back to me and said,
"I'm sorry. I was wrong."
4138
04:17:02,840 --> 04:17:04,642
I was like,
"I'm so glad I didn't listen to you."
4139
04:17:04,675 --> 04:17:05,743
You know?
4140
04:17:05,777 --> 04:17:07,095
So yeah, you just gotta remember that.
4141
04:17:07,128 --> 04:17:09,580
Go for your dreams,
don't let anyone stop you.
4142
04:17:09,614 --> 04:17:13,351
I had heard kind of the reports
of how special the atmosphere was
4143
04:17:13,384 --> 04:17:15,103
in the first fight between these two,
4144
04:17:15,136 --> 04:17:17,889
I know you were here in the room
for that first fight, Laila,
4145
04:17:17,922 --> 04:17:19,991
but, Andre, this was incredible.
4146
04:17:20,024 --> 04:17:22,727
I'm gonna go and sit
in a very quiet room when we're done here
4147
04:17:22,760 --> 04:17:24,128
and just detox for a second.
4148
04:17:24,162 --> 04:17:27,014
Yeah, I'm gonna get my ears back,
'cause I'm getting old,
4149
04:17:27,048 --> 04:17:29,934
so the loud noise
affects me differently these days.
4150
04:17:30,551 --> 04:17:31,869
I just wanna take a quick moment.
4151
04:17:31,903 --> 04:17:34,338
We've said it throughout the night,
but I wanna say it again.
4152
04:17:34,372 --> 04:17:39,060
We gotta give credit to Jake Paul, Nakisa,
and the whole MVP squad.
4153
04:17:39,093 --> 04:17:42,280
Because it's one thing to talk
about bettering women's boxing,
4154
04:17:42,313 --> 04:17:44,482
it's one thing to say
that they need opportunity,
4155
04:17:44,515 --> 04:17:47,969
but they gave the opportunity
and they keep giving the opportunity,
4156
04:17:48,002 --> 04:17:50,538
so respect to both of those brothers
and their team.
4157
04:17:50,571 --> 04:17:52,773
Again, I think it's just bigger
and better from here.
4158
04:17:52,807 --> 04:17:55,209
Absolutely. We're excited
to see what the future holds.
4159
04:17:55,243 --> 04:17:56,894
I think for the Irish
it means it's a good night
4160
04:17:56,928 --> 04:17:58,112
when you end up shirtless.
4161
04:17:58,146 --> 04:18:00,131
That's how an Irish celebration goes.
4162
04:18:01,716 --> 04:18:03,768
You know what?
I enjoyed the fact
4163
04:18:03,801 --> 04:18:07,104
that we still got to hear
a good amount of noise in this arena
4164
04:18:07,138 --> 04:18:09,257
when Katie got that decision win.
4165
04:18:09,290 --> 04:18:11,509
Fantastic evening.
It's been great to be with both of you.
4166
04:18:11,542 --> 04:18:12,710
-Thank you. So much.
-Thank you.
4167
04:18:12,743 --> 04:18:15,413
What a night it has been
here in New York City.
4168
04:18:15,446 --> 04:18:17,999
From all of us at Netflix,
we appreciate you being with us.
4169
04:18:18,032 --> 04:18:19,617
Thank you so much for watching.
4170
04:18:19,650 --> 04:18:22,403
Have a wonderful evening, everybody.
God bless. Good night.
4171
04:18:32,196 --> 04:18:35,500
Once again, everybody, thank you
so much for joining us here on Netflix.
4172
04:18:35,533 --> 04:18:36,851
We've enjoyed having your company.
4173
04:18:36,884 --> 04:18:38,436
We hope you enjoyed the event.
4174
04:18:38,469 --> 04:18:40,938
Fantastic fight
between two fantastic warriors.
4175
04:18:41,772 --> 04:18:43,374
God bless everybody. Good night.
4176
04:18:56,837 --> 04:18:57,989
{\an8}Thank you. Appreciate it.
4177
04:18:58,022 --> 04:19:00,174
{\an8}Thank you, guys.
Thank you so much, everybody.
