00:00Okay, Sadiq Obeid, one step back, don't hit the party, okay, back of the head, okay?

00:08Take care.

00:30Second half, round one.

01:01And Herrera, yeah, he's the new kid on the block, so to speak.

01:05Lots of talent, lots of skill.

01:07Originally from Cuba, and will have come through that Cuban system.

01:11So yes, a lot of skill here in Herrera.

01:14But he's in against an experienced man, who's lost to three former world champions,

01:20so he fought at world level against former world champions.

01:23And he's experienced, so this is a test for Herrera.

01:26Flores fighting the best as long ago as 2015,

01:31when he challenged for the WBA world super featherweight title in Tokyo,

01:36one of only two inside the distance defeats.

01:39And the other man to beat him inside, Miguel Bergel of Mexico,

01:43who went on to become a world champion.

01:47A very fine career it has been, but if a little haphazard over the last two to three years.

01:5633 now.

01:58And the 22-year-old, Hedera, he's stepped over every stepping stone so far.

02:04Six wins inside three rounds.

02:07But this is a good start for me from Flores, Richie.

02:09Yes, not bad at all, is it?

02:11One of the problems that Flores has got though, Paul,

02:15is that left hand of his is very, very low.

02:17So he's probably hoping if Herrera can get close enough to land his right hook,

02:23then that's the shot that he'll have to watch out for here, Flores.

02:26When he comes in close, he just drops that back hand of his, that left hand,

02:32and that's a dangerous thing to do.

02:35But nevertheless, it's a fairly decent start from a more experienced man, Flores.

02:41Complete absence of panic, certainly, from Flores.

02:44When a kid starts to build a reputation as quickly as Herrera has done,

02:50the pressure can really come up even before the first bell comes.

02:55Not so in the case of Flores.

02:57So Herrera, with due measure for his respect,

03:00after a little bit of to-ing and fro-ing at the weigh-in yesterday,

03:05Herrera's been pretty businesslike.

03:11It's important in this first round, Paul,

03:13is for Herrera just to establish his jab.

03:16You see Flores, the way he's boxing, he's bobbing and weaving,

03:19and he's coming at different angles and just making things awkward.

03:22He's not a static target.

03:24See how he dips down here and there?

03:26So what Herrera's got to do, he's just established that jab.

03:29There you go, simple shot.

03:31Just measures the distance and then he can set up his bigger punches.

03:35Snap left was a good scoring shot.

03:39Some really good combinations in the last couple of seconds of the round from Herrera.

03:43Classy work.

03:45As a business owner, you know a great deal when you see one.

03:49That's why we're offering 50% off reliable business broadband on phone

03:53with no upfront costs.

03:55Can Sky Business guarantee great savings?

03:58Better believe it.

04:01Switch to Sky Business Broadband this autumn.

04:15Welcome back, everybody.

04:26Joe McNally is in charge in the Padilla-Herrera corner.

04:30Just on the other side of the rope from that position,

04:33there's Anthony Coccaccio at ringside tonight after his latest big victory.

04:39Southpaw Academy, isn't it?

04:41Yeah, absolutely.

04:43Nightmare of the old Southpaws, but here we have two.

04:47Different styles, but Flores again.

04:52Sort of that bobbing, weaving, sort of occasionally just throw shots

04:56from a crouched position and just makes things awkward.

05:00Herrera has just got to establish his jab and then he's just got to

05:06establish his jab and just find his range.

05:10You see, that's a better shot there from him.

05:15He should be outreaching his man quite comfortably, Richie Herrera.

05:18He's 5'9", 5'7", Flores.

05:26Yes, yes, Herrera's got the height to reach, hasn't he?

05:29But he's just neglected his jab up to now,

05:31but now he's starting to use it a little bit better.

05:34Like I said, he's in with an experienced boxer here.

05:39He's had one world title fight,

05:41he's fought two or three world champions, lands a decent shot there.

05:45So he's no more than Flores.

05:49Also, he does have a little bit of a dig himself.

05:5120 of his 31 victories by stoppage.

05:54Maybe Herrera's not fought too many with that kind of ratio.

05:58This is fight number 16 for Herrera.

06:00He turned pro having, if I might use the term politely,

06:04escaped the amateur scene in Cuba by whatever means.

06:09Turning pro, which most of them don't get the opportunity to do at that age particularly.

06:17And he's 22 now.

06:20Largely been campaigning in Dubai.

06:23Got to get that jab right.

06:26It seems a bit of a sloppy jab there from Herrera.

06:28And Flores came back with that left hand.

06:32If you look at Flores' feet, Paul, very flat-footed he is.

06:36So he probably prefers Herrera just to stand in front of him.

06:41And he won't like the movement of Herrera.

06:44Herrera's got to hit and move.

06:46Any flat-footed boxer then prefers the opponent to come at them to trade.

06:51But the movement then they struggle with because they're too flat-footed.

06:55So that's what Herrera for me has got to do behind that jab also.

06:59Use the movement.

07:01The thing is, especially in the last year, Richie,

07:04his opponents have been coming to him.

07:06And after two or three rounds he's been dispatching them.

07:08So that can become a habit.

07:10You start to expect that the next one will do the same.

07:12And it's a little bit more cagey and canny here from Flores.

07:16And effective.

07:18Yeah, absolutely.

07:22Some decent work with the lead hand there from Herrera just earlier.

07:25And again, look, simple jab. There you go.

07:27Just simple boxing that is and measuring the distance and gap with that shot.

07:34I know he looks the part, Herrera.

07:36But what a decent work from Flores again in that round.

07:49Now it's free to sell on eBay.

08:09You'll see things differently. Now it's free to sell on eBay.

08:13Don't even think about it.

08:15eBay. Things people love.

08:18Don't set a punch where...

08:21Don't give him the lottery shot, OK?

08:23Welcome back, everybody.

08:25Javier Herrera's not having it all his own way

08:27in this fascinating, lightweight showdown.

08:29At the top of the bill, still some time to go.

08:32And wouldn't you know it, there's Ronnie Rios backstage.

08:35And very soon it'll be Nicky Ball's turn.

08:38But they're still celebrating stablemate Andrew Kane

08:41after his stellar show here earlier in Liverpool.

08:45Great crowd building up.

08:48Been a while. Long time.

08:50Since a really big Liverpool fight night like this.

08:55Yes, that right hook we spoke about, Paul, earlier on.

08:59Herrera puts up in this third round right at the start of it.

09:03Real class about that.

09:05Rios looks in... Flores looks in all kinds of problems.

09:08And Steve Gray doesn't give him the chance to beat the count.

09:11Herrera gives thanks.

09:13He stopped him right at the start of the third round.

09:16He exploded out of the corner.

09:18He got a bit of a ticking off from Joe McNally.

09:21And in whatever language, whatever terminology that was used,

09:25it worked like a charm.

09:27Yes, certainly did. He started the round really well.

09:29We spoke about the right hook earlier in the contest.

09:31He landed an absolute cracker at the start of the round.

09:34And then he followed it up with some good shots.

09:36But yes, that talking to from Joe McNally,

09:38who didn't want him to stand and trade.

09:40That's what he said in the corner.

09:42Don't stand and trade with him.

09:43And so that hit and move, what we spoke about also,

09:46certainly worked.

09:47And the right hook at the start of the round was a cracking shot.

09:51It just started things off.

09:53Got his range.

09:55And yes, his timing was spot on there.

10:01So out of nothing, it's taken away from Oliver Flores,

10:05who sits rather disconsolately on his stool

10:09while the party gets started across the ring.

10:12And apparently this kid does know how to party,

10:14but they're going to have to put a little check on that for a few years.

10:18Yes, he's enjoying the moment, isn't he?

10:22I'll reserve judgment on that.

10:24I think we might be seeing that again very soon, Richie.

10:27Joe McNally has guaranteed, quote unquote,

10:31guaranteed a future world champion.

10:33Do you see that in him, Richie?

10:35Yes, well, you know, he's certainly got some good skills.

10:37It'll be interesting to see how far he can go.

10:39There was the right hook that we spoke about.

10:41Then he follows up there with that cracking left hand.

10:43That really did.

10:45And then look at that, that left uppercut downstairs.

10:48That was into the solar plexus.

10:50You can see the pain across his face there.

10:53Oliver Flores, and he couldn't recover.

10:56And the referee looked into his eyes, didn't like what he saw.

10:59Let's have a look at the hook. There's the hook there.

11:01So that started things off.

11:02Then there's the left hand that comes in.

11:04And watch this body shot that follows up.

11:07So there's the right and the left hand there.

11:09Then he just takes a step back, comes in.

11:11Right uppercut downstairs into the solar plexus.

11:14That really did send him to the canvas.

11:23We say again, only 22 years of age,

11:25there's a swagger about him.

11:27And not just on fight night.

11:31Total self-belief.

11:33And in the end, Oliver Flores found out all about it.

11:39After a very smart couple of rounds from him.

11:49Ladies and gentlemen, here is the official time.

11:5230 seconds of round number three.

11:54Our referee in charge, Steve Gray, waves off the contest.

11:58Therefore, your winner by way of technical knockout.

12:02Still undefeated.

12:04And now the WBA Intercontinental Lightweight Champion.

12:10Javier One Billion Herrera.

12:23So Herrera very shortly is going to collect that WBA Intercontinental belt

12:29from the WBA supervisor, Nina Ratcliffe.

12:32There's going to be a band row.
