00:00Two monstrous human beings in this one, Vakadir Jalolov, the big Uzbek, 6'7", with an 81-inch reach.
00:23The Hulk, Shevazutsky, 6'3", almost 300 pounds here tonight.
00:31The return of the double Olympic gold medalist, who many feel could be the future of the heavyweight division.
00:41The toughest guy in there tonight is the referee, trying to break these two up.
00:47Round one underway.
00:51This one's scheduled for 10, but given the power and the size of these two men, no one expecting that it will go that far.
01:00Corey, you remember we had an American fighter, Butterbean?
01:04Of course.
01:05He looks like a bigger, stronger version of Butterbean.
01:10Butterbean could fight, too.
01:12We didn't see Butterbean go 10 rounds that many times, outside of when he was in there with Larry Holm.
01:19But, Shevazutsky, we did see go the distance with Kubrat Pulev a couple of fights ago.
01:24Took that fight on just a week's notice, and went the distance with a former heavyweight title holder.
01:29The Hulk's doing what he can do, he's walking his opponent down, but he's got to let his hands go.
01:41No, he's got to let his hands go.
01:44He's walking him down.
01:45Stick out a jab.
01:46There you go.
01:46Stick it out a jab.
01:47Don't try to knock that.
01:48Stick it out.
01:49Stick it out.
01:50Bang that body.
01:51Jab.
01:52When you fight a softball, you jab to his shoulder, you jab to the hip.
01:55Keep him off balance, just so you know where he's at.
02:02Golov owns a number of boxing schools at home in Uzbekistan, where he's been training.
02:07He's spent time training in Indio, California, where many great Uzbek fighters have taken up shop as well.
02:13Right now, letting his hands fly here in the opening round.
02:16A lot of people forget that, again, it was Gennady Golovkin.
02:19He went over and was trained in Southern California.
02:21The first one I knew to do it, and he used to train up, and he used to go up into the mountains.
02:29Go into the mountains.
02:30Big Bear.
02:30Big Bear Mountains to train.
02:35A very different climate where the Uzbeks hang out in the desert of Indio.
02:40Yes.
02:40Just as harsh in a very different way.
02:43Yes.
02:43These combinations, certainly not too pleasant for the Hulk to be feeling right now, as Jelolov really opening up.
02:53Here in the opening round, nice uppercut breaking through the guard of Shevizutsky.
02:59It's the first round.
03:00We know the Hulk, but I like the way the Hulk's walking him down, making him work.
03:03Either, you know, Hulk's going to start letting his hands go in the next couple rounds, because he can't just let this guy take his shots, or he's just trying to figure him out.
03:16Trying to figure him out.
03:18But I'll tell you, even though he's not throwing a lot of punches, he's walking him down.
03:23Again, we have to remember that Jelolov, without being in the professional ring, and even when he was in 2023, is for less than a round.
03:32You know, he's been a three-round, he's been in the amateur ring, so maybe trying to stretch him out for the Hulk, who isn't a high-output fighter.
03:39This isn't the worst approach.
03:43That's why your body shot there from the Hulk.
03:46And a left hook to the body.
03:48I like what the Hulk did the first round.
03:49I like the fact he was walking him down, picking his shots, and let his hands go through at the end.
03:54Let's see if he does it more in the next round.
04:19I like what the Hulk did the first round.
04:24He's like, I'm really going to be in the next round.
04:25Because he's riding the thing.
04:26He's riding the thing.
04:29He's riding the thing.
04:33He's riding the thing.
04:38I'm running the thing.
04:41You know, he's riding the thing.
04:45He's riding the thing.
04:46He's riding the thing.
04:47Round two underway, McAdir Jololov and the Hulk, Shevzutsky.
04:57I'll tell you what, Jololov isn't doing a whole lot of things either at this point.
05:09Just to get out of the jab, he threw more punches last round.
05:12But I'm telling you what, he better do a lot more to keep the Hulk off here.
05:16How about three or four left hands to back him up? That works.
05:19But Hulk caught two or three of them on the punches.
05:22Not all of them, he caught them on the glove.
05:29Nice shot to the body there from Jololov. Now bring that left hand up top.
05:33But I love the fact that Hulk rolls underneath that punch and making a miss.
05:37I love that.
05:40When you make a miss, you gotta make him pay for it.
05:42So you gotta come back with something.
05:46We have seen the Hulk stopped in the past.
05:48He was stopped by Martin Bacoli, albeit on his feet.
05:50He took a lot of punishment in that fight.
05:52He didn't think it should have been stopped.
05:54But there was a lot of one-way traffic in that fight.
05:57But what I would tell this corner of the Hulk, I'd tell, quit doing ring around the Rosie.
06:02Quit following like that.
06:03Cut off the ring and let your hands go.
06:06Get him in the corner like that.
06:08You gotta let your hands go.
06:10Hulk, you gotta let your hands go, buddy.
06:13Hulk, a much bigger version of himself than he was in the amateurs.
06:20He was bleeding heavyweight on the Ukrainian amateur team for a while.
06:25Eventually was overtaken by Viktor Faust.
06:29But was a member of, as we know, one of the most talented amateur teams anywhere on the planet.
06:35Okay, he's got this.
06:40Gotta move them hands.
06:41Okay.
06:42There you go.
06:43Come back with something.
06:44Let the judges see that you're coming back with punches.
06:49You end with the punches.
06:50Even though you might not have hit them.
06:52Look, it showed the judges you're still in the fight.
06:55It looks more impressive to the judges.
06:57You come back with the last shot.
06:59Stiff jab there from Jololov as he turns the corner.
07:05These are guys exerting a lot of energy at this point.
07:10So I hope they pick it up as the rounds go on.
07:15This has been something that we've seen out of Jololov at times in his pro career.
07:19You think back to his date on Showtime against Jack Malawi.
07:26Kind of tedious affair until he scored a devastating knockout.
07:33You wonder if Jololov, given that layoff, wouldn't mind a couple of rounds here as well.
07:38I'm sure that's what he's trying to do without getting careless.
07:42That's why he's got his hands up high and he's not throwing as many punches.
07:45Because he doesn't want to get careless and get caught with a counterpunch.
07:48But Cory, as we were saying, as the rounds go on, if you want the chance to win this fight, you've got to let your hands go.
07:59Obviously, in any fight, you've got to let your hands go.
08:01He's being a little cautious because he's been off so long.
08:04But he's got to let his hands go more and more as the rounds go on for any opportunity to win.
08:11For any opportunity to win.
08:41Round three underway.
08:56Big Uzbek and the Hulk.
08:58Heavyweight action from here in Astana, Kazakhstan.
09:01As Jololov opens up with a beautiful uppercut to split the guard of Shevzuski.
09:07You know he did that because he knew that Hulk wasn't coming back with nothing.
09:11That's why, Hulk, you've got to stick it out there.
09:13Just take a jab out there.
09:15Break him up a little bit.
09:16There you go.
09:17There you go.
09:18Throw that at Hulk.
09:20Break him up.
09:21He's got to know that something's coming back at him.
09:23So he can't stand there and throw those easy uppercuts or left hooks or right hooks.
09:29Without you, without you responding.
09:36Jololov, as we know, a titanic power puncher.
09:39We've seen it in the amateur ranks.
09:41We've seen it during his professional stint.
09:47The Hulk very durable, but again, not impenetrable.
09:50We have seen him stopped in the past.
09:52See, I like the fact that he moves his head side to side.
10:00He keeps his hands up high.
10:02Rolls his shoulders.
10:04You know, I like what I see.
10:06Just throw more punches.
10:08Quick combination there for Jololov.
10:12Finishes it off with a straight left hand.
10:14He's only catching him right now.
10:16You've got to counter with something.
10:18Come on, Hulk.
10:19I want to see this guy.
10:20I like what I see so far.
10:22I want to see more of him.
10:24And the only way you wouldn't be able to see more of him
10:26is he throws more punches.
10:28How do you do?
10:30Stop, stop, stop.
10:35Guys, you're close, calm.
10:41Cory, the Hulk is not a guy you want to see in the street.
10:44Uh, no, no.
10:46You want to see in the street late at night?
10:48That's the face you want to see?
10:50No, no.
10:51I can't believe he didn't just have this nickname all right.
10:54Oh, big left hand.
10:56and down goes the hulk as we were saying i just said a little bit ago
11:01that caught with a straight left hand straight left hand down the middle
11:07well the hulk is not impervious to left hands like that no show love now gonna pour it on

11:43but joelov is is letting it go he's letting his hands go what you got to do but he's wide open for
11:49connor the hulk will survive the round but a deep breath as he heads back to the stool
12:19so
12:21so
12:23so
12:29so
12:31so
12:33so
12:35so
12:37Round four begins.
13:00The Hulk of Igor Shevazutsky off the canvas in round three.
13:06Still plowing forward, but the big Uzbek, Vakadir Jololov looking sharp here in the opening
13:12four rounds.
13:13Rishovlov is going to try to set him up to do this, to set him up to come down the middle
13:19again.
13:20He's trying to do it.
13:21Because, you know, that was the first time he really caught with a straight shot.
13:24Most of the time, Hulk is moving side to side, catch him on his gloves.
13:29Rishovlov is trying to drop that straight left hand again.
13:35He's setting him up with the right hand, he's throwing him, you know, tapping him on his
13:43shoulder, tapping him like a wide hook, trying to open him up for that straight left hand.
13:48Well, that's exactly how he opened him up for that left hand, was that throwaway right
13:51hook, opened up the lane for the left hand.
13:53He's trying to distract him with the right hand, but all he's looking for is a straight
13:57left hand.
13:58No uppercut, no over the hand, over the hand, straight left hand down the middle.
14:08You know, Cory, Cory, this fight show, they did a great job.
14:21But let me tell you, Nomad Productions is the promoter.
14:24But the gentleman who's not here tonight, Scott Murray from Canuck, England, is the one who
14:29started Nomad Productions promotions with Rustam, who is the promoter on site.
14:35So, Scott has been able to be here tonight, but shout out to Scott for doing a hell of a
14:40job putting the show together.
14:42It started with his vision.
14:44Yeah, a lot of big names on the card here tonight, including this man, the big Uzbek.
14:50Just missed with another one of those potential fight ending left hands.
14:57Basically every left hand that he lets go of could end the night.
15:01Yeah, well not that he dropped him, he knows that.
15:04Not that he dropped Hulk, he knows that he can do it, hurt him again.
15:08Just got to put the right punch, set it up, make sure it's straight down the middle.
15:12Because Hulk has been a pretty good job of catching the other punches.
15:17With his hands high, chin low, moving side to side, rolling his shoulders.
15:25Good timing shot there a moment ago, Hulk trying to move his head.
15:28Jololov just met him with the left hand.
15:31Didn't put the full force on that one.
15:34So we enter the final 20 seconds here of round four.
15:42Jololov maybe thinking about the uppercut there.
15:47And the Hulk tries to bully his way to the inside.
15:51But that's what he's got to do.
15:52Corey, he's got to bully him on the rope.
15:55I'm trying to make it a dunk fight.
15:56He's got to go, get a dunk fight.
15:57He's got to pull the lead.
15:58I'm trying to make it a dunk fight.
15:59He won't catch up for you.
16:00And imagine having a dunk fight.
16:01No fight fight.
16:02No fight fight.
16:03.
16:04Next is back.
16:05And now he's a win.
16:06And now he's a ball fight.
16:07Next is back, Mark.
16:08We don't have to go.
16:09I'm trying to beat him around the middle of the middle of the center.
16:10And now he's going to win.
16:11He is looking for a win.
16:12Boom, right there, see, Hulk's coming after him, trying to make it, he catches a lot of
16:31punches, boom, the fact that he got hit with that one shot, Jovloff's trying to come around
16:39the corner runs, he's not going to do it, it's got to be straight down the middle, the one
16:43who knocked him down with, because Hulk's catching everything else.
16:46A little bit of blood coming from the nose of Shevazewski there as round five now begins.
17:04I think actually both fighters now are starting to get into a groove, both guys, it's just
17:12that Hulk can't catch him, because of the long layoff, his punches aren't sharp, they aren't
17:17crisp, but he's coming along now, he's letting his hands go more.
17:26I like the fact that he's jabbing to the body, trying to find, trying to touch him and find
17:31not his distance, you've just got to touch him, touch him on the shoulder, touch him
17:37in the hip, touch him in the belly, don't stick it in out there, no Hulk, that's how you get
17:41caught, that's how you get caught with a straight left hand.
17:44I saw him get caught.
17:45Bring it back, bring it back.
17:46A check right hook there a moment ago too.
17:47Yeah, bring it back.
17:48A little bit overanxious as Jovloff offers up that left hand again, and Jovloff Reyes talked
17:54about the fact that he wants to be known as more than a power puncher, obviously when you finish
17:58every single one of your fights by knockouts, people are going to talk about that, but he
18:03says he wants people to talk about his defense and his footwork.
18:05You know what, and I get that, and he moves pretty good, you know, his defense is not, you
18:12know, a lot of punches thrown at him right now, but here's what he just did, what about the
18:17art of infighting is gone.
18:19You don't see any heavyweights infight, they want to hold grab.
18:23Learn to how to infight, that's an art that's lost, and I don't know why heavyweights don't
18:29do it nowadays.
18:30Now, if you're Jovloff, do you even want to do that against the Hulk?
18:33No, you don't have to in this fight, but try to make it, keep your hands in tight, tie
18:38him up when he gets sore, don't grab him high on the head, come on man, learn how to infight.
18:44Most of these guys even don't even know and don't care to know, or learn.
18:51Big left hand again there from Jovloff.
18:53Yeah, yeah.
18:54Hulk, throw something back, buddy, you gotta throw something back.
18:57See?
19:02Jovloff just stops plants, lands that left hand again.
19:07And as I said earlier, every other fight is the ring around to Rosie, cut him off, slide
19:12over, slide over, cut him, there you go.
19:14A little bit of bodywork there from the Hulk.
19:16Yes!
19:17Yes!
19:18Got close, stick it up, stick that jab out Hulk, stick it out.
19:21Don't, no, no, don't parry with him, don't do that.
19:24Stick it out.
19:29You just mentioned don't parry with him, I imagine what Jovloff wants him to do is that,
19:35because he can line up the uppercut where he can manipulate the Hulk's guard.
19:38Right, right, I get that.
19:39But you know what, that's how you get, you stick your arm out, and you get hit with a
19:44roundhouse hook yourself.
19:46But the Hulk ain't throwing it.
19:49Final ten seconds here of round five.
19:52Jovloff just slides out of the way of that left hook from the Hulk, and we will head back
19:57to the corners.
19:58Good.
19:59I tell you, Corey, I'm really enjoying these fights, and again, a shout out to Nomad Productions.
20:04Scott Murray did a heck of a job putting the show together.
20:08Shout out to Rustem, the local promoter.
20:10I tell you what, this is an entertaining show.
20:13.
20:53Round six begins.
21:02And Ray, as you're well aware, when you're developing a really talented heavyweight like Jololov,
21:08one of the challenges early in their career is finding rounds.
21:13Getting rounds, absolutely.
21:13If you're trying to find rounds for the big Uzbek, you have found the right opponent here tonight.
21:19That's exactly right.
21:20Very good point.
21:21And I'll tell you what.
21:22You know, he's getting rounds in.
21:25He's got a rough, he's got a double tough guy in front of him.
21:27He dropped him once.
21:29But he's not getting careless.
21:30He's not getting overexcited and trying to make it win by knockout.
21:35But Jololov's got to pick it up a little bit.
21:39Pick up the pace.
21:40You want to be able to, look, he's just, yeah, come on.
21:43Come on.
21:43Again, the art of infighting's gone, man.
21:46Learn how to infight.
21:47Stand in there.
21:48That's boring, man.
21:48Come on.
21:49What would Ray Mancini have done in that scenario, right?
21:54Why are you, you know, you pull your hand back.
21:57Drop it to your knees and start digging uppercuts to the body.
22:01That's what I was.
22:02I was an infighter.
22:02I wanted to close that distance.
22:04I know Jololov's a big, long, lanky guy.
22:06He don't want it.
22:07But keep your hands in tight.
22:08Don't just keep holding them.
22:09That's so amateurish, man.
22:12That's the thing.
22:13A lot of you guys didn't learn the pro game.
22:14They keep bringing a lot of their amateurish, a lot of their habits from the amateur game
22:19to the pro game.
22:21Pull your hand down or the referee's got to get in there faster because that's, I, nobody
22:27wants to see that.
22:28It's just boring to watch guys hold each other.
22:34Jololov just missing with that right hook there.
22:36And he's getting more and more brazen, like keeping his hands down because he's got nothing
22:40coming back to him.
22:42You know, Hulk got still more punches.
22:44Hulk, throw him, baby.
22:45Come on.
22:46Let your hands go.
22:53If the Hulk is frustrated, we don't know because his expression ain't changed in, you know,
22:58six rounds so far.
22:59It's the same.
23:01Even when he got knocked down, he was the same.
23:04It's the same look he had on his face when he went to the movie.
23:06He's seen the Hulk and got his nickname.
23:15Hulk, stick out a jab.
23:17Stick out a jab, Hulk.
23:21You hear the heavy breathing of the Hulk on his way in there.
23:25Jololov just glides underneath back to center ring with 30 seconds remaining here in round
23:29six.
23:30Look, Jololov's getting the work he wants.
23:35He's getting the work he wants, definitely.
23:41He just can't get that careless, man.
23:42He can't get careless.
23:44You know, when he's doing this fight, I know it's just this particular fight.
23:47But you've got to pick, if he fights better opponents, you've got to get his hands up higher.
23:53Closing moments here of round six.
23:56The quietest one of the fight thus far as the big men head back to their stools.
24:01And I've got a trotter, trotter.
24:17Look, look, you got it right there, right there, okay, kept the good shin, kept the shin down, I mean, it isn't like Hulk is a triumph, but he's got to find his distance, man, this is a tall, lanky guy,
24:46you got to move your way in with the jab.
25:05Round seven underway.
25:09Double Olympic gold medalist, Bakadir Jololov and the Hulk, Shevazutsky.
25:14Heavyweight action from here in Astana, Kazakhstan.
25:17You know, Corey, even Jololov from Uzbekistan, if I'm saying it right, that's the home of a lot of good fighters, especially MMA fighters.
25:26MMA fighters are double, I mean, they're all double-topped.
25:29That's a homeland of a lot of tough fighters.
25:33Nice uppercut there from Jololov.
25:38Uzbekistan arguably right now has the best amateur boxing program in the world alongside places like Ukraine.
25:47Yeah.
25:49Obviously the Kazakhs, many talented amateurs, we've seen many of them here tonight.
25:54Look, look, if the Hulk, yeah, okay, try to go with a body shot.
25:58Look, the Hulk's trying, he's just trying to, he can't find his distance yet, or has it all for the last seven rounds.
26:04But, you know, unless they change it up, I think it's going to be like, you know, you could, you know, how do I say it, in tech terminology, you know, press.
26:21What, Control-Alt-Delete? You want to just get out, press Escape?
26:25No, but you press, stop, you know, rewind, you know, and do it over.
26:29It's going to be the same thing as what I'm talking about.
26:31Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:32I'm not a tech guy, obviously.
26:33Obviously, you know that.
26:34I was thinking of my key commands.
26:35I'm trying to help you.
26:36I can't think of the words, you know.
26:37But what I'm saying is, it's going to be the same thing over the next three, four rounds, this round and the next three rounds,
26:44if somebody, Jololov or the Hulk, doesn't change it up.
26:49Well, the difficulty is that Jololov, listen, he has found the formula, Ray, to just never lose rounds.
26:58If you look back, and if we're including his amateur career here, to my knowledge, he hasn't lost a fight of any kind, pro or amateur, since 2018.
27:08If we're not including walkovers in the amateur, physically losing a fight, I think you have to go back to 2018 in the World Series of Boxing
27:16when he lost to Jose Larraday of Cuba when he was much younger.
27:20He has figured out how to not lose rounds against heavyweight fighters.
27:25Well, first being the southpaw helps.
27:27Except, well, you've got to be more active.
27:28You know, tall, lanky.
27:30I get a lot of things he has, but I'm going to tell you right now, he's got to change the game in the pro game.
27:37He's too immature still for the pro game.
27:39This fight isn't going to give you any dedication.
27:42Try to tie him up.
27:43Learn how to fight on the inside again.
27:45I'm sounding like a broken record, but I mean it.
27:48You better learn to change the game to take it to the next level.
27:51Right here in particular, I imagine you think there's an opportunity to land something to the body.
27:56Yes.
27:57Oh, he got caught.
27:59He got caught.
28:00The Hulk landed the shot he's looking for.
28:02Acknowledged by the big Uzbek right at the end of the round.
28:06I'm going to say, Cory, I didn't hear no bell again.
28:09I'm getting lost by not hearing the bell.
28:11I'd be, you know, come on now.
28:14You should look back for it and coffee kindred.
28:17Take away from that wen.
28:18Steve Churchill Bergling, me.
28:19Joseph Musk's main for the price tagerman is driving water.
28:20Jeremy.
28:21Jeremy.
28:22Louise.
28:23Stephen.
28:24Elman.
28:25Stephanie.
28:26Here.
28:27The door is pointing out.
28:29India.
28:30In that case, the म.
28:34The person I met� has toraid of this person.
28:36It has my heart attack, which however they're towers нет.
28:40You'll see that good or anything you want to do for the sehen and sea though.
28:42Round eight underway in the crowd.
29:09Got a lot more life now.
29:11Is the Hulk your favorite heavyweight fighter today?
29:21So far.
29:24Hey.
29:26I like the fact.
29:31Oh, come on now.
29:32Come on, man.
29:34You know better than that.
29:36Come on.
29:37Jololov didn't like the clubbing shot at the end of the last round.
29:40That, I guess, is his retribution.
29:42I guarantee that Jololov's happy it's in a boxing ring, not in an alley.
29:46I guarantee it might be a little different there.
29:49The crowd might be rallying behind the Hulk here.
30:01I'll tell you what.
30:01The Hulk would have been jabbing to the body, jabbing to the body throughout the fight.
30:06He'd be getting a lot closer.
30:08That's how you break down the southpaw.
30:10Throw jabs.
30:10Shoulder.
30:11Hip.
30:11Oh, come on, Hulk.
30:14You've got to turn around faster than that.
30:16Jololov meets him with a nice left hand there.
30:19Again, the younger version of the Hulk, as we mentioned, one of the stars of the Ukrainian amateur team.
30:29His amateur career ended when he suffered a torn meniscus.
30:33The Ukrainian government paid for the surgery he rehabilitated, obviously became a much bigger person, had to adapt his style into what we see today.
30:41If the government's willing to do that, God bless.
30:46Beautiful.
30:47His left hand down the middle there from Jololov.
30:49Jololov, he's got to let his hands go more.
30:53He's got to let his hands go more.
30:54He's still, if I'm a righty fighting Jololov, he's not the hardest guy to draw a beat off.
31:00You could draw a beat on him.
31:02You don't want that.
31:03You want to be, as a southpaw, be a little more crafty, a little more harder to hit.
31:09He's not the hardest guy to hit, because he does the same thing over and over.
31:12He's got to change it up.
31:14Look, Hulk's not going to change.
31:16He knows one way.
31:17Jololov's got to change the game a little bit.
31:23And he's not, and it doesn't look like he's throwing any hard punches.
31:27No, he dropped Hulk.
31:28Don't get me wrong.
31:29Do one hard punch down the middle.
31:32He's not going to scare a lot of the guys off the way he's just tapping them.
31:39Closing in on the final 20 seconds here of round eight.
31:48Jololov just sticking to the formula here.
31:51Nice left hand down the middle.
31:57Putting rounds in the bank, but mostly replicas of the previous round.
32:02With two to go here in this heavyweight contest.
32:05Corey, as I said, Hulk's, but he only knows one way.
32:32Oh, he keeps coming forward.
32:34He's going to be double tough.
32:35But Jololov, there, okay, there you go.
32:38Try to catch him.
32:39Catch him off guard, because I'm telling you what.
32:42He's going to keep coming forward, unless you have something else to keep him off guard.
32:48Kovloov, Jololov's got to throw punches in bunches.
32:52Just throw some bunch, and then step to the side.
32:54Step to the side.
32:55Throw straight punches.
32:56Step to the side.
32:57Round nine underway.
33:06Well, to build upon that point, Ray, maybe one of the things that Jololov is still getting used to,
33:11and again, we most recently saw him in the Olympics, not in the pro ring,
33:16is figuring out.
33:17Oh, there you go.
33:18Good uppercut.
33:19Like that.
33:20That's right.
33:20He's getting a comfort level at mid-range, not just throwing and stepping all the way out, right?
33:24Right.
33:24Exactly.
33:25Because believe me, as he steps up, he's going to fight guys that are going to close that distance,
33:29and he's going to have to learn how to fight on mid-range.
33:30They're going to make you fight there.
33:31Right.
33:32Yes.
33:33And he's got a guy important that he can do it with.
33:36Guy's slow.
33:38He's trying to get a rhythm.
33:39He can't find a rhythm.
33:41Take some chances, Jololov.
33:43Jololov's got to take some chances here.
33:48You want to be appealing.
33:49You want to be more fan-friendly, man.
33:51The pro game, you've got to be appealed to the fans.
33:57That's what my friend Scott Murray told me.
33:59You've got to be more fan-friendly.
34:07Well, trying to get some work done on the inside.
34:10There he is.
34:14Now, he threw a body shot.
34:15Good body shot there.
34:16I don't know if it's going to have any effect on the Hulk, but it was a good punch.
34:20But throw it to the body, throw it to the chin.
34:23Double uppercut.
34:24Bang, bang, real fast.
34:25Beautiful body shot again there from Jololov.
34:29Same shot he landed before.
34:34You know, you've kind of pointed this out as well.
34:36Every time there's a clinch and a break, these are very gentlemanly breaks, right?
34:41Oh, man.
34:42Pull your hand down.
34:44Look, look.
34:44Come on, Kov.
34:45Look.
34:46Now, Kovlok, he maybe does some jiu-jitsu training, too, because he knows how to tie him up.
34:52Get the hooks in.
34:53Get the hooks in.
34:54Come on, man.
34:54We want to see.
34:55If you get it at the pro game, learn how to fight on the inside.
35:00These guys got this.
35:01Jololov's got to learn how to do that, but he's going to take it to the next day.
35:03Final minute here of round nine.
35:12Big Uzbek, Bakadir Jololov back in the professional ring.
35:17And he is potentially in the situation where he could be taking the distance for the first time.
35:24Corey, when you have a fight like this, and the skill levels, different levels, we know
35:30Jololov is the more skilled fighter.
35:33We understand he's an Olympic champion.
35:35When you've got a fight like this, you find a guy who's repetitious, he's coming forward,
35:38you're hitting him with the same punches.
35:40Try to do something different to make it look different for the crowd, to make it more exciting
35:45for the crowd, to be more fan-friendly, so more promoters will want to use you, and the
35:51opportunity to fight for bigger fights.
35:53You've got to make it look different, or try to make it look more exciting.
36:00Closing moments here of round nine.
36:02One to go in this heavyweight contest.
36:04One to go in this heavyweight contest.
36:34One to go in this heavyweighty contest is a rare thinketer.
36:53Coral rh crecman is an easy one.
36:56Yes!
36:57Come on now!
36:58Tenth and final round here.
36:59Just try to be more impressive, try to be more fan friendly.
37:04Stand there in front of them, throw punches.
37:07Both hands, both hands, that's it.
37:10There you go, there you go!
37:11You must have heard me.
37:12Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
37:25You must have heard me.
37:27Step around.
37:28Four or five punches.
37:30Step around for it.
37:31Come on!
37:34See if the Hulk will open up here in the tenth and final round.
37:38Frankly, you know that he will need a knockout to win this fight.
37:42I'll guarantee Scott Murray's back to Cannock saying,
37:45Come on, shovel up!
37:46Throw punches and punches!
37:55Zolovov looks for that clubbing left hand, slides underneath.
37:58Hands at his side now as he launches that left hand down the middle.
38:02Why tie him up? Why? There's no excuse. Why?
38:12You were catching him with three or four punches, step around.
38:15Just step around and throw more punches.
38:18Cory, who looks more tired than the two?
38:31Well, it was interesting there because Zolov was complaining about the holding,
38:34but two of the last three clinches have been of his decision.
38:39Of course, he's trying to time up.
38:41I told you, he looked more tired.
38:43He was bent over in the corner where the Hulk is breathing.
38:47It looks like he's breathing pretty easy in there.
38:54See, there's where he hasn't learned his professional game.
39:00Just step around, move him away.
39:03Quit trying to time up.
39:04The Hulk lands a couple of right hands on the inside.
39:13The crowd, loudly booing what's going on right now.
39:18There you go, he got hit with it.
39:20Look, I know it's his first fight in a long time, but try to end strong, man.
39:25He's looking amateurish as heck when he does that.
39:29Trying to look like a professional and finish strong.
39:32Here you go.
39:34Step around.
39:35Just don't have to.
39:36The crowd is now chanting for the Hulk as well.
39:40Yes.
39:41The crowd has, I don't know that we would say turned on Zolov,
39:44but they've rallied behind the Hulk.
39:46I'll guarantee Scott Murray's back at Cannock saying,
39:51let me in there with that guy.
39:52Let me in there with him.
39:53Final 10 seconds.
40:0110 seconds of this contest.
40:06As the big Uzbek has been taking the distance for the first time.
40:13The Hulk was a winner.
40:23Even if he loses, he was a winner.
40:25Hold up.
40:26The Hulk obviously made a lot of fans here tonight and certainly won in the seat right beside me.
40:30Yes.
40:31Yes.
40:40Well, Igor Shevitsky doing something that no one else has been able to do.
40:45He went 10 rounds with the double Olympic gold medalist as we take a look back at some of the action for the final round.
40:51He kind of puts some good punches.
40:54There's no need to tie him up.
40:56That's the amateur's problem.
40:57He's still got the amateurs, a lot of amateurs in him.
41:00The amateur program is you hit the guy, tie him up.
41:04No.
41:05Step around.
41:06Learn the program.
41:07The program is infighting.
41:08Learn to pull your hands in and learn how to infight.
41:11That will take him, that's going to extend his career a lot more than what he's just doing there.
41:22It's going to make him more, it's going to make him much more, you know.
41:27More marketable, certainly.
41:28Much more attractive and marketable to other promoters, especially American promoters.
41:32Again, perhaps there's a little bit of a grace period here for Jalolov coming back to the pros, maybe in a couple of fights.
41:41We'll start to see new wrinkles in his game.
41:43Ten quality rounds nonetheless with the Hulk here tonight.
41:47And a lot of tape for him now to study.
41:49Yes.
41:50Like I said, it's his first fight in a long time.
41:53He went ten rounds.
41:54He went, well, he went eight hard rounds.
41:56Because the ninth attempt he tried, he was holding a lot because he was gassed out.
42:00He went eight hard rounds.
42:02The last two, though, you have to work on that conditioning.
42:12Because the Hulk kept coming forward, but he wasn't giving him a lot to think about.
42:16He went, he went, that didn't.
42:17He went, that was a big deal.
42:18He went, that was a great deal.
42:19He got to do it.
42:20I'm going to do it.
42:21I'm going to do it.
42:23It's, it's a great deal.
42:25I have to promise.
42:26It's a great deal.
42:27That's a great deal.
42:32By the count of the judgment, first judge, 189.
43:02Second judgment, 97, 92.
43:06Third judge, 97, 93.
43:11Asa over Salmakhtaga,
43:14Shigim Pazatangan,
43:17Bakhoudir Chololov!
43:24Bakhoudir Chololov with the unanimous decision victory.
43:28He earned the scores, 189.
43:3097, 92 and 97, 93.
43:32Hey, the judges were paying attention.
43:35They gave the Hulk some rounds.
43:36Gave some rounds.
43:37And I thought he earned a couple.
43:40That was a good show for both guys.
43:41It was a good fight for both guys and sets up to work.
43:44Both guys needed to work.
43:46They both got it.
43:50It was a show of love.
