00:00Arslanov!

00:07I'm sorry to meet you in the dressing room. I want a clean fight.

00:10Good luck.

00:15And we take a look at the tail of the tape for our next contest.

00:18Arthur B. Arslanov and Antonio Collado.

00:22See Collado enjoying the reach advantage in this one.

00:26Collado says this is going to be like when they called Sandor Martin to step in to face Teofimo Lopez.

00:33He is confident of springing a major upset here tonight for B. Arslanov,

00:38who, as we've been talking about, now ranked in the top ten by two of the four major sanctioning bodies.

00:44Now, Corey Collado is from Quintana de la Orden, which is in La Mancha, Spain,

00:49which means we have a literal man of La Mancha in the ring tonight.

00:52If you guys think I have enough restraint not to make a Don Quixote joke,

00:56I'm just going to tell you that Collado is tilting at a windmill that's shaped like Arthur B. Arslanov tonight.

01:01Because he's a long shot.

01:09B. Arslanov, as we mentioned, starting to regain some of that buzz that he enjoyed within Canada,

01:14specifically, of course, coming out of the Olympics, a Pan Am Games gold medal.

01:20Spotlight was on him between 2015 to 2017.

01:24Now, it seems like the broader boxing audience is starting to come on board when it comes to the Wolves.

01:30Yeah, absolutely. It just took him a little time to find his groove, to find a consistent training base.

01:35He was back and forth between Montreal and Toronto for a while.

01:37He's fighting over in UAE for a while.

01:39But again, since he's been back here in Montreal training and also fighting here consistently in Montreal,

01:43that climb through the rankings is not a coincidence.

01:46It's a direct result of the fact that he has a stable training base and a stable promotional managerial situation.

01:53This check right hook there from B. Arslanov, who just buries a left hand in the midsection of Collado,

01:59the former Spanish lightweight champion.

02:03Coming off an eight-round decision win over Otto Gámez in March 8th of this year.

02:10You know, we've seen earlier, we understand that Collado doesn't have big punching power,

02:15but he has figured out very early on that his best chance in this fight is to land that straight right hand.

02:21That's the only thing that's going to keep B. Arslanov off of him.

02:25Landed a sweeping right hand, but after getting caught by a tremendous uppercut from B. Arslanov with his back against the ropes.

02:33We're inside the final minute of a high-paced opening round.

02:37B. Arslanov not taking his time here, and this one could be over early.

02:50Collado up at the count of eight, but the Wolf is tasting blood here in the opening round.

02:56And you can hear Collado's coaches from the corner telling him to move.

03:00They're saying, move, move, move. And he's deciding to do the opposite.

03:04He's deciding to stand here and fight, which is actually a better chance in this battle.

03:09Hard right hook to the body, and he brings it up top as well as Collado slumps to the mat.

03:19Collado looking for guidance in his corner.

03:23He has found no answers here in the opening round.

03:26Can he make it out of the opening round? He is coming right at B. Arslanov.

03:31You've got to hand it to Collado.

03:33Give him marks for bravery, but that was as dominant an opening round as you will see from the Wolf.

03:39Absolutely.

03:40Arthur B. Arslanov, you don't think of one specific thing he does well, or that he's great at, but he does a lot of things so well.

03:51He puts the package together, and he is very difficult to deal with.

03:54Again, especially if you're a guy like Collado.

03:56So now, the keys to victory for B. Arslanov. Set the pace of the fight.

03:59Rely on his speed advantage because he is always in very good shape.

04:04Finish the fight if the opportunity presents itself.

04:06For Collado, don't exchange too early in the fight. That one's out the window because he's been trying to exchange every chance he gets.

04:12Double the jab to the extent that he throws it, which he has not thrown it very much.

04:15And two, if he gets to the second half of the fight, takes some risks, but he decided he was going to do that early on.

04:20It paid off, but he also paid for it. Here he is under a withering assault from B. Arslanov, having to take a knee.

04:26It was not one single punch that put him down, but it was just the accumulation and just the relentlessness.

04:37It's round two underway. Collado on the canvas twice in the opening round as Arthur B. Arslanov taking full advantage.

04:49Of the short notice opponent, Antonio Collado, who goes down for a third time.

04:55You see the Arslanov really setting down on that right hook to the body.

04:59And I don't know that Collado has ever seen anything like this in a professional boxing group.

05:08You see Collado more than willing to engage, but there is a lot going on right now.

05:13You see the 10-7 round in the opening round as scored by our French colleague, Matt Cassavon.

05:19And I am not certain that we will need his score for the second round.

05:24Collado understands what he's up against and his bearing all week. He's been very confident.

05:30You hear him at the news conference. He said, look, I know I'm here for a reason. God has put me here.

05:34I am made for this moment to come upset Arthur B. Arslanov.

05:39But thinking it is, but he's never been in the ring with Arthur B. Arslanov.

05:42So it's one thing to think it's another thing to do it.

05:44But to your point, Corey, you have to give him credit because he didn't come here to try to just survive.

05:49He didn't come here to run and try to just make 12 rounds, make 10 rounds, maybe win five and a half or six of them.

05:54He understands he has to fight on the front foot if he has any chance.

05:59But he's also paying for it.

06:01And B. Arslanov warned for a shot behind the head.

06:04A brief reprieve for Collado and now B. Arslanov right back on top of him.

06:10Collado said that this fight would be like two battleships meeting in the center of the ring.

06:14And he has indeed met B. Arslanov head on.

06:17Just unfortunately, it's been with his back against the ropes as B. Arslanov just wails away once more.

06:24You saw the straight left there, Corey, that started that sequence.

06:27And that will not be ruled a knockdown.

06:31As the official has ruled that that shot was behind the head.

06:34Collado in some discomfort here.

06:47Less than a minute left to go here in the second round.

06:50B. Arslanov still stabbing away to the body.

06:54Collado is still coming forward behind that lead right hand.

06:57He has decided that the jab is not what's going to open things up for him.

06:59It's going to be the lead right hand that he can stick it between B. Arslanov's gloves.

07:03He can create other opportunities.

07:07Final 30 seconds of the second round as Collado offers up another right hand.

07:18And that sequence right there, Corey, is the fight sort of in a nutshell.

07:22Collado putting everything he had behind a right hand and it barely makes B. Arslanov blink.

07:27B. Arslanov setting down on that right hook to the body and it forces Collado to get on the move.

07:32See a cut on the outside of the eye of B. Arslanov as he lands one more right hook.

07:37And that'll do it for round two.

07:38Collado being good for round two.

07:41Yeah.

07:46Yeah.

07:47Back live here at the Montreal Casino

08:08as we take a look at the corner of Arthur Biarcelinov

08:11now dealing with a cut on the outside of the eye

08:14being dealt with by Sam Dakari.

08:17Corey, back in the old bare-knuckle boxing days,

08:21you would call that drawing first blood.

08:22Here you see Biarcelinov just stalking Koyal.

08:27Koyal hands up, throwing big punches,

08:31trying to find ways to keep Biarcelinov off him.

08:33But again, it's one thing in theory to throw these big punches

08:36to keep Biarcelinov from smothering you.

08:38Something else to actually have to do it inside the ring.

08:47It's round three now underway.

08:57Antonio Koyal just trying to hang in there here

09:01against Arthur Biarcelinov, who has had him down a number of times.

09:06And Koyal on unsteady legs here already.

09:09Yeah, you saw that big right hook to the body, Corey,

09:11forcing Koyal to take sort of a false step.

09:13That would really bother him.

09:15And that bothered him even more as he is down on the mat and in agony.

09:20Four, five, six, seven, six, eight, nine.

09:29Koyal staggers to his feet, but again, an ethical decision there

09:34to take Koyal out of a fight that he would have continued in.

09:38There was no need, the wolf, too much for Koyal tonight.

09:42No, and Koyal's corner is furious.

09:44They think that was a blow behind the head.

09:45We'll see what the replay says.

09:47But overall, again, it's just Koyal was game.

09:51He was very eager, had a game plan that allowed him to do as well

09:56as he could possibly have done.

09:58But again, just the gap in talent, speed, skill,

10:02and overall strength was too wide.

10:12Here's Biarcelinov jabbing to the body in sort of a cuffing right hand.

10:17It hits Koyal where the neck meets the base of the skull.

10:26So an easy night for Arthur Biarcelinov, with the exception of the cut,

10:30which of course will stand in the way of Biarcelinov getting back in the ring extremely quickly,

10:36but nonetheless, in every other sense, exactly how Biarcelinov would have wanted this fight to go.

10:41Yes, so we won't see Biarcelinov back in the ring on June 27th.

10:45But again, he also did what you're supposed to do with a late replacement opponent.

10:50You don't let the guy hang around.

10:51You don't let him get confident.

10:53You don't let him think he has a chance to win.

10:56When you know you have the guy outclassed, you work your game plan,

11:01and you take him out of there, which is what Arthur Biarcelinov did.

11:03Well, Antonio Collado, true to his word, he went for it in this fight, Morgan,

11:13but again, just heavily outclassed by a true world-class operator in Arthur Biarcelinov,

11:22who was just waiting for the opportunity against the right opponent to truly solidify that.

11:27Yeah, and for Biarcelinov, again, this is a bit of a curveball for him as well.

11:31He was expecting a sort of higher level fight to defend his NABF title, had some opponents pull out,

11:37wind up with the late replacement opponent, so it turns into a stay-busy fight.

11:42But again, he did what he's supposed to do in this situation in a stay-busy fight,

11:46got his job done, won the fight, and looked good.

11:49All right, let's make this one official. Let's send it back down to the ring.

11:52Ladies and gentlemen, official chronometer, 38 seconds of the third round.

11:57Yvon Goulet stops the fight, declaring the winner by TKO, Arthur Biarcelinov!

12:17Oh!

12:21So, Arthur Biarcelinov improves to 19-0, that being the 16th knockout of his profession.
