00:00Music
00:20As we discussed earlier, punches right here are not considered love.
00:25Punches right here are not considered love.
00:29We went through the instructions in the dressing room.
00:32Both of you know exactly what I expected.
00:35I want a clean fight. I want a fair fight.
00:39Respect my commands at all times. Protect yourself at all times.
00:43Touch gloves. Good luck.
00:48Well menacing glare from both men in a fight that could be a fascinating blend of styles here.
00:57The hyper-aggression of Sultan Zauerbeck and the power counter-punching style of Izinga Fuzile
01:08could blend into something excellent here in our co-main event.
01:13Round one underway.
01:15Oh, we got two southpaws today.
01:18Okay, we got two southpaws in this fight. This will be interesting.
01:26You know, Corey, we were talking earlier, I've heard a few people talk, thinking this might be the fight of the night.
01:32I think that most people would believe that.
01:35Of course, Zauerbeck has been very exciting on his rise up.
01:38Thirteen knockouts in his 19 victories.
01:41Izinga Fuzile.
01:43We've seen him in some excellent high-level fights against the likes of Shavkat Rakamov.
01:48Very controversial fight for different reasons.
01:51And of course, that IBF title fight against Konichi Ogawa back in 2021.
01:56He's won three fights since.
01:58But again, the thoughts of retirement crept in.
02:01He thought he might be done in January of this year.
02:03Instead, he is a crack at really getting back into the title picture with a victory tonight.
02:09Look, a lot of times, you know, like any job you have, you can get bored, you can get tired, you can get, you know, your mind plays games on you.
02:16But when you get the opportunity, you're going to take the big, you know, you want to come back and try to get the best, make the most of it.
02:26So Fuzile, that's what he's trying to do right now.
02:28Fuzile is trying to make the best of this opportunity and get the title shot with the next fight.
02:33Fuzile, in particular, through the years, so dangerous with just a short, check right hook.
02:42Seen him score knockdowns, knockouts with that same shot.
02:45Good body puncher as well.
02:50For Zauerbeck, you can see both guys taking their time.
02:53Both guys relaxing, very relaxed.
02:56Trying to figure each other out.
02:59Nice right hook there from Zauerbeck.
03:02Most of those punches were caught on the gloves and arms of Fuzile's.
03:08Just, you know, they're both two high-skilled fighters.
03:13See the hand speed of both men there.
03:14Fuzile getting there first with the left hand, but looked like it whistled past the face of Zauerbeck.
03:22Both men getting close with some dangerous counter shots here in the early going.
03:26You know, the one fighter who brought Kazakhstan to the, gave it his popularity with Triple G, Gennady Ganov.
03:38I've not seen him.
03:39Is he not there today?
03:40I thought he'd be at this fight.
03:41Might not be.
03:42Well, that's your question.
03:43I mean, he's not in the country, but I just thought nobody's mentioned him or seen him at ringside.
03:48If he is, I hope they show him.
03:52He's been a big proponent for keeping boxing in the Olympics in 2028, which it seems will be the case.
03:57So he's doing good work wherever he is.
04:00Look, he made Kazakh fighting.
04:02Nobody knew there was Kazakhstan anywhere.
04:04You don't, Gennady Golovkin.
04:08You should have a statue of him in the arena.
04:21Well, that was a typical fielding out round, but you can see both guys are highly skilled.
04:26Like ones too.
04:27Well, you just wanna know, the Director of the Olympics and the Hylskiver show is only one of us.
04:29But you have to know only two of us.
04:30This is the main director of the Olympics.
04:32Okay, good night.
04:34Do you guys have enjoyed the Following the Olympics.
04:35Yeah, I'm so hopeful.
04:36Go ahead and go.
04:37Do you have a little bit of an area for me?
04:38Do you have a little bit of a space of the year?
04:39Do you have a little bit of a little bit of a sea of sun?
04:40Let's go.
04:41You got a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of an area, of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a cube.
04:43Thank you guys.
04:44I hope you got a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of money?
04:46I won't believe it.
04:56The future fight will be.
05:19Round two begins.
05:22Salted Zauerbeck and former world title challenger Zynga Fuzile.
05:31Motor Kali Sauerland says that Zauerbeck is the most dangerous and devastating man in
05:36the Super Featherweight divisions.
05:40Mentioned that he is creeping close to some of the big names at 130.
05:45He tries to creep a little closer to Fuzile to get some of his work done on the inside.
05:50What I like about both fighters reminds me of the old throwback to the old fighters in
06:04the 40s and 50s that are highly skilled to keep the left hand down or the front hand down,
06:10you know, move their shoulder, move their head.
06:14It's just a great fight to watch if you're a fan of boxing, which I love.
06:19Guys who know how to fight.
06:22You know, they're fainting with their shoulders, with their head, with their feet.
06:30High-level operators in the 130-pound division.
06:33Zynga Fuzile just missing with that left hand.
06:35Zauerbeck got there with one of his own to the body.
06:46Zynga Fuzile, as we mentioned, kind of embattled by inactivity but also some of his struggles
06:50outside the ring have been highly publicized in the tabloids in South Africa where some
06:55people felt that he kind of fell victim to the party lifestyle, had some problems with
07:00alcohol that maybe led to some of that inactivity but Fuzile seems in top shape, seems dialed
07:07in here in the early going.
07:09Look, if you're going to shut it down in January and here you are, obviously you've got to
07:13change your heart, change your mind, change of attitude.
07:18But I like it, both guys, if you are a fighter of lovers, lovers of fighters, lover of fighters.
07:33Do not fight your lovers.
07:35No, fighter of, lover of fighters, you're going to love this fight.
07:38Yes, can we all get along?
07:40Zauerbeck looking for that left hand, finds a route to the body though, a nice right hook
07:48to the body there from Zauerbeck.
07:50Zauerbeck just missing with a sharp left hand there.
08:06Seconds tick away.
08:08A high-octane fight so far, and that will do it for round two.
08:18I dodge a little bit.
08:20Can you believe me?
08:21Yeah, I've got no Teams there.
08:25When you're playing there, they miss each other.
08:28You die, you get in, or once you get to the center of the quest.
08:37Boy, one thing I like about this fight is that it's a high pace, high energy fight.
08:54Good left hand.
08:55Really liked it by Fusile right there.
08:57I mean, it's a high pace, high energy fight by both guys.
09:02That's what I like about it.
09:06Round three begins.
09:23You know, we've described this fight so far as high octane, high energy, and, you know, Ray, I mean, obviously you can speak to this.
09:31A lot of people might think that the only way for a fight to be exhausting is if you're throwing a lot of punches, but what you're seeing right now, so much movement, so many feints, there's a tension that can really exhaust fighters in this type of situation.
09:43Yes.
09:44Yes.
09:45Like you said, it's a thinking man's fight, but the body faints, but the foot movement, look, they're fainting with their shoulders, with their feet, with their head.
09:55That takes a lot of energy to do that.
10:00See, like trying to jab to the body.
10:05Smart.
10:06You just want to know where the guy is.
10:08It's a range finder.
10:09When you jab to the body, jab to the shoulder, jab to the hip, it's a range finder.
10:14You find out to know your distance.
10:20So once you know your distance, you can drop the other shots behind them.
10:25Look at that.
10:26Look at that.
10:27As we're seeing, you know, body shots may be the best approach for both men.
10:30Both men difficult targets.
10:32They're showing one another such different pictures all the time.
10:35It's like you're at the optometrist.
10:36Yes.
10:37And it's switching so many different looks from both Fuzile and Zauerbach thus far.
10:41There's that counter right hook.
10:43Yep.
10:44Yep.
10:45The signature shot from Fuzile.
10:46They do a whole lot, but it was there.
10:51And Zauerbach knows he got it.
10:56So he's got to be careful.
11:06The difference for me right now, and it could be down,
11:10as the fight goes on, as the rounds go on, is that Zauerbach's coming forward.
11:17Fuzile's moving back.
11:18And his legs do a lot, you know, his legs get tired out at the end,
11:22because he's moving back on him a lot.
11:27Fuzile with that counter right hook again.
11:28Now a nice stiff jab as he steps back in.
11:30Two of them.
11:31Two of them.
11:32Two of them.
11:33Two of them.
11:35Two of them.
11:36Three of them.
11:37Three of them.
11:38Good work this round from Azinga Fuzile.
11:42I hope the corner of Fuzile is telling him.
11:44You're in this guy's backyard.
11:45I hope the corner of Fusile is telling him,
11:48you're in this guy's backyard, you got to pick it up.
11:51You got to do a lot more work.
11:52You want to win this fight, you got to show them.
12:00And of course, you can't get carried see-through
12:02because of the punching power of Zaharbek.
12:07Zaharbek calls himself the Kazakh king of knockouts.
12:10He says when he gets his shot, he will not miss.
12:13He's finding the target.
12:16Difficult to find here against Fusile in round three.
12:24I thought that was a good run by both guys.
12:26Both guys show good head movement,
12:29good boxing skills, and good punching power.
12:43You men can't make it mad.
12:45There are no arrows...
12:54And guess what else?
12:54Yeah.
12:55And this guy shows who you had to at least
12:58meet and look at thousand times.
13:00So at the rate of life,
13:02it sounds good to the Espaillat church.
13:05The one with disponible people.
13:06He went too many memories so I can go to an extent,
13:06and after that they are upset
13:10As I said, I simply lost the спрос.
13:12Watch, both guys are highly skilled, highly intelligent.
13:31Round four underway.
13:34Round three, a good one for Zynga Fuzile.
13:38No doubt, exciting.
13:39All of our viewers watching live across Africa.
13:42On Supersport.
13:45What a bounce back into the world scene it would be
13:48if Fuzile could pull off the outtick.
13:50Look at that counter right hook.
13:52That's the one we told you about.
13:54Yes, yes, you've been saying about that all night.
13:56That's a Sunday punch.
13:59That one rocks Zauerbeck on his heels momentarily.
14:03From what we've been told, from what I've seen, this shin's pretty sturdy.
14:15He got rocked there, though.
14:17But you'll take a few more of those to back him up.
14:21That one is again.
14:22That one is again.
14:22That one is again.
14:23That one is again.
14:24That one is again.
14:25That's it.
14:25By Fuzile, almost a forgotten entity at 130 pounds.
14:29And again, for good reason.
14:30The guy who was talking about being on his way out of the sport.
14:33Oh, he's shored up again by Zauerbeck.
14:35Showing he's got plenty left in the tank here tonight.
14:41Zauerbeck trying to come back.
14:43Nice body shot there from Fuzile, though.
14:45Zauerbeck starting to shorten that distance a little bit more.
14:54Good body work again from Fuzile.
14:56Yeah.
14:57That looks like it's a golden Zauerbeck,
14:59but he connects on a nice short right hook of his own.
15:01This is the time for that infighting I was talking about.
15:08I'd love to see these guys pull their hands back,
15:11stand in the trenches, and figure it out with each other.
15:21Zauerbeck missing over the top of the left hand.
15:29Less than a minute left to go here in round four.
15:31A long, pesky jab to the body is working so far here for Fuzile.
15:45Stepping left hand there from Fuzile.
15:47Excuse me, for Zauerbeck, Fuzile shrugs.
15:51As if to indicate that he rolled with that shot.
15:55Good shoulder rolls.
15:56But I think Zauerbeck, he got caught with that, you know,
16:00he got caught with that right hook,
16:02and he wants to show the judges,
16:04look, that didn't bother me.
16:05I'm going to push this fight.
16:06I'm going to make sure that I'm winning this round.
16:12He's got a good case to have won it.
16:15We enter the final ten seconds.
16:17There's that right hook again.
16:18Fuzile lets go of a left hand as well.
16:24Another good round for Azinka Fuzile.
16:27Yes.
16:28Well, I actually thought by both guys,
16:30I thought Zauerbeck started to initiate his presence more,
16:36initiate, taking control more in that round.
16:40Now we're going to take a look back into the locker room
16:44of the challenger tonight, Anuel Gomesenge.
16:50A massive opportunity for the 2016 Olympian.
16:55He's been toiling in obscurity on the French scene,
16:59now stepping out to face one of the most dangerous men
17:03in the 160-pound division,
17:06the unified champion, Janabek Alamhanala.
17:30Back to action here in our co-main event,
17:33between Sultan Zauerbeck and Azinka Fuzile.
17:40Corey, one of the reasons why you're being a pressure fighter myself,
17:44one of the reasons you keep coming forward
17:45and pressuring another guy.
17:47You only want to wear him down physically,
17:50but mentally and emotionally as well.
17:53He's hitting you with any great shots,
17:55and you keep moving forward.
17:57Mentally, you guys say,
17:57what do I got to do to keep this guy off me?
18:01But as you move forward,
18:02you've got to come in with something.
18:04You can't just walk in without throwing punches.
18:06You've got to keep the opponent busy as you back him up.
18:12As we've seen throughout his career,
18:14and as we're seeing here tonight,
18:16Fuzile thrives when he has that time to think,
18:19and when he has the distance.
18:20He doesn't need a whole lot of it
18:21to land that check right hook.
18:26But he's doing a good job himself with that length,
18:28that long jab,
18:29and preventing Zauerbeck from getting to the inside.
18:32I'm going to tell you right now,
18:33just that right there, right before,
18:34Zauerbeck threw two overhand left hands.
18:39They hit him in the back of the head,
18:41but those are the type of punches
18:42that mess up your equilibrium.
18:44Those are the type of punches that mess you up.
18:46You get hit more,
18:48you know,
18:48when you hit a few of those shots,
18:50man,
18:50I'm going to tell you what,
18:51they mess up.
18:53Mess up the equilibrium and everything.
18:55They get it.
18:56Got hit with it again.
18:57There he goes.
18:58She's telling him.
18:58Yeah, there's a warning.
18:59Those are the shots
19:00that mess up your equilibrium
19:01and mess you up.
19:07Now, I'm not sure,
19:08I'm not saying their attention by no means.
19:09I'm just saying,
19:10you know,
19:11he throws it overhand left,
19:13the guy leans in,
19:14you get caught with it.
19:15Yeah,
19:15I'm not saying that's the wrong ruling at all,
19:17but there are other officials
19:19that wouldn't have said anything about that.
19:20She did for the first two.
19:22Right.
19:29Zauerbeck knows
19:31he can't just walk in
19:31with power against this guy.
19:33He's got to outthink this guy.
19:50Zauerbeck thinking about
19:52a potential fight
19:53against Lamont Roach,
19:54perhaps,
19:55the WBA champion,
19:56if he chooses
19:56to stay at 130 pounds.
20:00Hoping to avoid
20:01a massive speed bump
20:03or a roadblock here tonight
20:05in a Zynga Fruzile.
20:08This fight here
20:09reminds me a lot
20:10of the old guys,
20:11the old fighters
20:11in the Philadelphia middleweights
20:13back in the 60s and 70s.
20:15You know,
20:15when they're out hustling each other,
20:17you fight Googaloo Watt,
20:18fight Willie the Worm on Roach,
20:19fights like that,
20:20trying to outthink them
20:21or show each other.
20:23It's a terrific fight to watch.
20:26Like we planned it,
20:27the Philadelphia Spectrum
20:28right in the middle of
21:46The ability to roll with shots, just to absorb the velocity of those shots with his body.
21:51Sometimes there are shots that look like they're landing in real time.
21:54As we look back at them, a lot of them, he's catching or at least absorbing in a better way.
21:59Yes.
22:00Rolled on the shoulder.
22:01Catch him on the arms.
22:02You're absolutely right.
22:04Zauberbeck now is picking up the pace.
22:06Picking up the pace.
22:07And I think his corner probably told him, look, you're starting to touch this guy.
22:12You're trying to touch him now with your jab, your left hand.
22:15Pick up the pace.
22:16Back him up more.
22:16And he's doing it.
22:22Zauberbeck's one of the trainers he's been working with.
22:25Manny Robles, who we worked with in recent times, said in an interview recently that he
22:30feels that for Zauberbeck to take the next step, he needs to find that dog in him.
22:34He needs to find another level of aggression.
22:37And that's within Zauberbeck, who is typically quite aggressive.
22:42What are you doing?
22:42He's absolutely right.
22:43You want to see that dog come out.
22:46And you want to bring out the dog of another fighter.
22:49You want to bring out the dog of the other fighter.
22:51You want to see.
22:53You want to see with Jermaine.
23:01That's a long, stiff jab there from Fuzile.
23:07Now, even though we're talking about Zauberbeck, keep coming forward, keep coming forward.
23:12He's got to be cautious because Fuzile is a highly skilled opponent.
23:17Not the same power.
23:19But anybody get caught, we know that.
23:23Good little sequence here for Fuzile.
23:24Those jabs are connecting, and that left-handed as well.
23:29Inside the final minute of round six, as Zauberbeck tries to go to the body of Fuzile.
23:37He's going to go to the top of that chopping left hand.
23:42Body work of Zauberbeck had him in position momentarily.
23:51Former world amateur silver medalist, Sultan Zauberbeck.
23:56He's got a lot of tools at his disposal.
23:59You're going to need all of them against the crafty Fuzile tonight.
24:02That's better work.
24:03Good right hook there from Zauberbeck.
24:07Look, Fuzile obviously knows you can't win a decision here against Zauberbeck.
24:12And now he's trying to set traps for Zauberbeck to open him up and catch him with a second punch.
24:17I think he's trying to set traps for him.
24:20Heavy jab there from Zauberbeck a moment ago.
24:22Good end of the round here for Sultan Zauberbeck.
24:29A nice bounce back after a little bit of a roll there for Fuzile in round six.
24:33I'm going to tell you what, they better get a higher sounding bell.
24:37I'm telling you, cause problems on a rope.
24:40Guys don't hear it.
24:41I love the fact, you know, roll the shoulders, roll the shoulders.
25:03Boom, boom, he got able to step jab there.
25:06Zauberbeck, boom, over the top.
25:08Look, both guys, again, as a boxer, it's a great boxing match.
25:15Highly skilled guys showcasing all the tricks, the moves that they got.
25:22But I said, Fuzile, you got to set traps to try to catch Zauberbeck in the trap.
25:38Round seven now, fascinating fight here between Sultan Zauberbeck and Azinka Fuzile who says
25:47that he's coming back from the boxing wilderness tonight in there with a Kazakh lion in Zauberbeck
25:55who continues to apply pressure.
25:57Trying to break through this deft counter-punching ability of Fuzile.
26:03In the last couple rounds, one thing that Zauberbeck has done, he's shortened the distance between him and Fuzile.
26:11Okay, not a good hook.
26:13He shortened the distance.
26:14That's what he's had to do to be successful.
26:17He's got to shorten that distance, which he's been doing.
26:19Now he's got to let the power shots go.
26:23Zauberbeck finding some good shots here in the beginning of this round.
26:28Zauberbeck stopping and planting to let that left hand go.
26:37Zauberbeck starting to show confidence moving forward now for Zauberbeck having to pick up the pace as he moves backwards.
26:44Listen, because I think Zauberbeck realized Fuzile, you got nothing to keep him off of it.
26:48He ain't got the power to keep him off or to hurt him or keep him hurt.
26:53So now he's starting to walk through.
26:55We still got to be cautious.
26:57Don't get hit with a second punch.
27:00We're starting to walk him down little by little.
27:06This is also how Fuzile tends to walk fighters into trouble.
27:10He has you thinking about that long jab, which he's been throwing for a while.
27:13And when he turns that hook over, as we've seen, that's when he's most dangerous.
27:16A lot of guys walk into it.
27:18But Zauberbeck, by closing the distance, as you're pointing out, Ray, he's taking that shot away.
27:26Yeah.
27:29You know, he's back to him in the corner now.
27:31Zauberbeck's back to him in the corner.
27:33He didn't do a whole lot.
27:34He's back to him in the corner.
27:34Keep him there.
27:35Use your shoulders.
27:37Use your shoulders.
27:38Push him back.
27:39Push him back.
27:40Keep him in the corner.
27:40Keep him in the corner.
27:42Keep touching him.
27:44Just freezing him with that jab.
28:00Beautiful shot from Fuzile.
28:02Back comes Zauberbeck, offering up that left hand over the top.
28:05I was going to say, Fuzile has got to start taking more chances to win this fight.
28:09To win this fight.
28:10Now, if you want to go to distance, keep doing what you're doing.
28:14But if you want a chance to win this fight, you've got to take more chances.
28:18Try to stand in the trenches a little bit more.
28:21Do more power shots.
28:22Keep going, keep going, keep going.
28:23Keep going, keep going, keep going.
28:24Keep going, keep going, keep going.
28:25Keep going, keep going, keep going.
28:26Fuzile tried to slip to the outside with an uppercut there a moment ago.
28:32Zile a lot more mobile in this round.
28:35We'll see what the judges think about it should we head to the scorecards later on.
28:40We'll see what the judges think about it should be done.
29:10We'll see what the judges think about it should be done, too.
29:12It's okay, you'll see what we learned.
29:16The stars, always probably time to have to take more seats or have to take more seats.
29:20I'll see what their favorite here is.
29:22Ch kittens, a chance to see what Teach naar Thierry went through.
29:24It might be a shapeshnytel.
29:27But if I want to do the same thing, I hope they thankurn.
29:34We'll see how take thatれる.
29:37If the
29:40Round 8 begins.
29:46A highly competitive fight here
29:48between Zauerbeck and Fruzile.
29:52Somebody, Zauerbeck's corner must have said something to him
29:55for him to come out, going bomb like this.
29:59Well, the crowd is telling him the same thing.
30:01They like what they're seeing.
30:03All-out aggression from Zauerbeck
30:04at the beginning of the 8th round.
30:10Zeele hanging out around the perimeter here.
30:27Trying to tame some of this aggression of Zauerbeck.
30:31Looking a little less comfortable here, Ray,
30:33with this kind of tempo than he was in the earlier rounds.
30:36Nice left hand there from Zauerbeck.
30:38But that's the chopping left hand.
30:42Look, Fruzile's feeling him now.
30:44Fruzile's feeling him.
30:45He's on his bicycle for survival right now.
30:48Does not want to exchange with Zauerbeck.
30:54Zauerbeck starts to instill his will on Fruzile.
30:59Remember, one of the edicts of the people behind Zauerbeck
31:06is they want him to find that dog.
31:08Can he dig deep here in the final rounds?
31:13Nice counter shot there from Zauerbeck.
31:24Short right hook.
31:25Now pouring it on to Fruzile, who fights back.
31:28He's got no dog.
31:29My man Fruzile got no dog.
31:31He's firing back with him.
31:33I love that.
31:36Inside the final minute now of round eight.
31:43And that's throwing me up.
31:44I thought it was like 10 seconds.
31:45What?
31:46They're throwing me up with that.
31:47They do that in a minute.
31:48Come on now.
31:49Well, that was just the Fruzile corner clapping.
32:01It sounds like wood.
32:02Yeah.
32:03Yeah.
32:04I don't know.
32:05He's throwing me up.
32:07There he is.
32:09You definitely want a higher decibel level for the bell.
32:12Yeah.
32:13Yeah.
32:14We'll ask him to hit another octave for him.
32:15Just trying to make it the same as the wood.
32:17Come on now.
32:18I think.
32:20That's right hook there from Fruzile.
32:21A big sweeping shot there.
32:24Zauerbeck, now he's got to finish strong.
32:26Finish strong.
32:28Keep that pace up for the end of the round.
32:35That was probably one of the clearest rounds for Zauerbeck in this fight
32:39that has been chock full of competitive ones.
32:48I think this is the round as Zauerbeck started instilling his will.
32:58That's it.
32:59That's the depth fight he's got to make for the last four rides.
33:00That's the last.
33:01You got to make it a dogfight with Fruzile.
33:02You know he's not hurting you.
33:04You know he's not hurting you.
33:05You're wearing him down.
33:06Make it a dogfight.
33:07Try to take him out.
33:08Make it a dogfight.
33:09Try to take him out.
33:11Yeah.
33:12Go!
33:13Go!
33:14Go!
33:15Go!
33:16Go!
33:17Go!
33:18You know he's not hurting you.
33:19You're wearing him down.
33:21Make it a dogfight.
33:22Try to take him out.
33:23You're wearing him down, make it a dogfight,
33:27try to take him out.
33:47Two to go here in our co-main event
33:49between Sultan Zauer back in the Zynga Fuzile.
33:52I think the things that we just noticed
33:54is that Zauerbeck ran out of his corner.
33:57Fuzile got up very slow.
34:08And the scorecards could be very interesting right now,
34:11but if you're Zauerbeck, you'd love to clearly sweep
34:14these final three rounds just in case,
34:16because there are a lot of competitive rounds.
34:18Yes.
34:19I know there's always the assumption
34:20that the home fighter is going to get the benefit
34:22of the doubt on the scorecards,
34:23but even if you're the home fighter,
34:25you don't know that.
34:26Fighters don't think that way.
34:27Fighters know you got to go in there
34:28and you just got to fight.
34:30Everyone else thinks that way, not the fighter.
34:35And if he does, shame on him.
34:39You got to go out to a fight and close the show.
34:41And I think that's what Zauerbeck's trying to do,
34:43to make not only a statement in this promotion,
34:47but to the whole world of his division.
34:53Body shot there from Zauerbeck.
34:55You're right, Ray, the body language has really changed
34:58over the last four minutes or so.
35:01Zauerbeck just sprinting across the ring
35:03everywhere that Fuzile goes.
35:06Fuzile becoming a little bit more stationary
35:08along the ropes now.
35:09Yes, again, Zauerbeck trying to make a notice
35:13to all the junior lightweights out there.
35:15I'm the man to watch.
35:17I'm the man that everybody has to go through.
35:23Fuzile, God bless, man.
35:25He's that fight in heck of a fight,
35:26doing the best he can do.
35:28I just don't think he can keep up with the pace
35:30or the power of Zauerbeck at this point.
35:35Zauerbeck is just instilling his will right now.
35:38Wow.
35:49Final minute of round nine.
35:50Zauerbeck looks for a,
35:53what would be a home run of an uppercut?
35:54Woo!
35:56He caught him with that.
36:04Zauerbeck's obviously,
36:05much more confident that Fuzile got nothing for him.
36:10Can't hurt him.
36:11Got nothing for him for the last two rounds.
36:13So he's starting to get a little more ambitious
36:16with his hands down.
36:17But he's got to keep going those punches.
36:19There he is.
36:20There you go.
36:21A combination there from Zauerbeck.
36:23Two to the body, one up top.
36:24One thing you gotta like about Zauerbeck, too,
36:27for a pressure fighter, he's still very fluid.
36:30Yes, fluid, yes.
36:31A lot of upper body movement.
36:33There's not a lot of rigidity in his movement
36:35moving forward.
36:36No, you're absolutely right.
36:37Now he's coming forward, he's throwing headshots,
36:39he missed a few.
36:41Throw from bottom up.
36:42Start with the body, then go to the head.
36:44Start from the bottom up.
36:45Start from the bottom up.
37:4510th and final round, you hear the crowd's appreciation as Sauerbeck just bullrushes Fuzile there.
38:01Do a double leg, take that. Double leg, maybe single.
38:07Sauerbeck forced to apologize there. Yeah, I took that a little bit too far. I can't just tackle you.
38:15I can't just watch this still pace that he doesn't think Fuzile can keep up with.
38:21Well, in a lot of ways, this is how you would expect this type of matchup to go.
38:26This has been extremely competitive all the way.
38:28Yes.
38:28They're the same age, but Sauerbeck is still considered to be the fighter on the ascent.
38:33He hasn't had some of the challenges, the losses that Fuzile has had.
38:37You would expect that down the stretch that Sauerbeck would be the one who has surged, and that's exactly what's happening.
38:44Yes. Yes, and he's starting to, like I said, instill his will.
38:49In the last three or four rounds, he's done that.
38:53Oh, oh!
38:54Swapping right hand over the top there from Sauerbeck.
38:56Swapping right hand over the top there from Sauerbeck, showing his character here in the 10th and final round.
39:04He obviously has no respect for the power of Fuzile at this point.
39:10Walking him straight down, throw a number of power shots, trying to close the show with a knockout, as any great fighter would do.
39:19He calls himself the Kazakh king of knockouts, and he's looking to give his constituents what they want tonight.
39:31He is going all out in pursuit of Fuzile in the 10th and final round.
39:35And now he's, don't walk, don't follow him.
39:39Walk him down and throw those punches.
39:40Keep him in the corner.
39:42Keep him in the corner.
39:43She has too much space.
39:44She's giving him too much space, Corey.
39:49Close that distance.
39:52Close that.
39:52Keep him in the corner.
39:57You've got to start with the uppercut bringing up, up and over.
40:01Because Fuzile is going to be rolling underneath Ducky.
40:04Up and over.
40:05All right, Sauerbeck might be fighting so high on emotion right now, as we saw in the opening seconds of the round when he just tackled Fuzile.
40:13But maybe he's forgetting some things that he otherwise would do.
40:16Final 30 seconds of the contest.
40:28Sauerbeck, just both hands.
40:32Both hands.
40:32Let both hands go.
40:34Punches and punches.
40:35Maybe close the show on a knockout.
40:37Now, Fuzile's going to finish.
40:40He's going to finish out of speed.
40:41We look like we will head to the scorecards, and they could be very interesting.
40:49An excellent fight between Sauerbeck and Fuzile.
40:53As you said early in this fight, Ray, if you're a fan of high-level skill, that's the kind of fight for you.
41:11Yeah, I liked it.
41:13From the beginning, you could see two guys, both high boxing IQ, filling each other up.
41:21But they were active.
41:23Both of them tried to close the show.
41:24Or Sauerbeck, obviously.
41:26His power started taking over.
41:28But look, he almost got caught with a sucker punch, and boom!
41:31He lands that good left hook or right hook.
41:34But look, this was a good fight to watch, man.
41:38Really enjoy it.
41:43Sauerbeck's going to be a name, a headache for anybody and everybody in that division.
41:52Again, I think Fuzile might have been thinking about retirement, but he could give a lot of guys fists.
41:57Yes, he can.
41:58If he does not want to hang him up, there is a lot there out there for him, win or lose here tonight.
42:04But look, we're a holding.
42:10You, easy.
42:12You cannot hold it.
42:13It's not holding.
42:15You cannot hold it.
42:16You cannot hold.
42:17Come on.
42:26That was a good fight.
42:30He's a good fight.
42:32That was pretty close.
42:34Nervous moments for both men, who seemingly both believe they've done enough for the victory
42:54here tonight.
42:55It looks good.
42:57Fusile's people know.
42:58He didn't do enough.
42:59You think so?
43:00Yeah.
43:01They know.
43:02But the fact that he's on his feet, he made it to the end, on his feet, that's a victory
43:07for them.
43:09That's a victory for them.
43:10And I'll tell you, I'd like to see Fusile in other fights.
43:12This guy could fight.
43:13He just was a little overwhelmed by this guy.
43:16Believe me.
43:17This guy could fight.
43:18I'd love to see him in future fights.
43:21And most of the fights he would have won tonight, probably any other fight he would have won
43:24tonight, he was a fight in Zara Ben.
43:30I'd love to see him in the middle of the fight.
43:37Thank you very much.
43:39Thank you very much.
43:40Thank you very much.
43:41Thank you very much.
43:43Thank you very much.
