00:00Fight Night on DAZN, brought to you by ThatPrizeGuy.

00:06Boxing is back in the Big Apple in a big way.

00:10We're coming to you from Times Square as we officially kick off Fight Week for the Ring 3 card,

00:15which features not one but two main events, ladies and gentlemen.

00:18It's The Grand Arrivals, live now from the Hard Rock. Let's rock and roll.

00:23Let's welcome Reito Tutsumi.

00:29So there's Reito Tutsumi, featherweight, fighting out of Tokyo, Japan.

00:37Imagine, Sergio, your second ever pro fight in New York City.

00:40You got to love that, man. This is an aggressive southpaw.

00:43I mean, all these Japanese fighters have their own Japanese style of fighting.

00:46They go for the knockout, they're very exciting.

00:48I'm looking forward to this one.

00:50David Morrell!

00:53David Morrell trying to bounce back from that loss against David Benavidez.

01:01Sergio, he just waited too long to get going that night, didn't he?

01:04Well, you had to against Benavidez, but this is a tall, power-punching southpaw that needed to get his swag.

01:11He needed to get his confidence.

01:12And he got his confidence from the Mexican monster.

01:15I think we're going to see a different beast here tonight.

01:17Subriel, El Orgullo de Matanillo Matias!

01:26All right, Sergio, Subriel Matias.

01:28When he wins, he wins decisively.

01:3022 wins, 22 knockouts, but that glaring loss to Liam Paro jumps off the page.

01:35Yes, it does, because Paro was also a southpaw, just like he's going to have to face on Saturday.

01:40But this is a man that learned from that hiccup, that loss in Puerto Rico.

01:44It's supposed to be a big hometown, you know, coming out party for him, that power.

01:48Now, he has a second chance.

01:50Alberto La Avispa Pueyo!

01:56Alberto Pueyo, who currently fights out of Las Vegas, Nevada.

02:03Sergio, he wins, but always wins close.

02:06Three out of his last four had been split decision victories, including his most recent against Sandor Martin.

02:12What did you learn about him in that fight?

02:14I learned that he can actually out-box and out-fight certain styles.

02:17I mean, Sandor Martin is a guy that gives everyone headaches.

02:19And, of course, Russell had a 100% knockout ratio.

02:22He was able to handle a boxer and a puncher.

02:24That's high-fight IQ.

02:26William El Camarón Zepeda!

02:32Well, Mike, we know Turkey Alaw Sheik likes exciting fights, and this is an exciting fighter.

02:37Yeah, look, William Zepeda, one of the best action fighters in all of boxing.

02:41Great body puncher.

02:42And I think that's really, Todd, is going to be the key to the fight.

02:44Ken Zepeda hurts a core to the body and slow him down.

02:47I think he can, because, look, this is a man that knows nothing else.

02:50He knows how to box the body. He knows how to rip up the uppercuts.

02:53The thing about Shakur, he doesn't let you close that distance.

02:55The thing about Camarón is he forces you to fight.

02:59That's how we're going to achieve it.

03:01I'm sure that I'm facing a very, very worthy opponent.

03:03I understand his skills.

03:05But, you know, I'm going to take this opportunity, and I'm going to write with golden letters my new victory in the history books of boxing.

03:12We wish you the best of luck, and we'll see you the rest of the week.

03:15We'll see you the best of luck, and we'll see you the rest of the week.

03:17Thank you very much.

03:24Well, Sergio, correct me if I'm wrong, but any great fighter says your goal is to make your opponent fight your style of fight.

03:31How does this man get Zepeda to fight like him?

03:34Well, he's not.

03:35I mean, he's going to stick to his MO.

03:36His MO is keeping that range, using that left-handed advantage, using the jab.

03:40That's the main thing.

03:41His accuracy is what makes Stevenson so difficult to beat.

03:44It's not the power.

03:45It's the accuracy.

03:46Thanks, Don.

03:47I'm here with the champ.

03:48Yes, sir.

03:49Shakur Stevenson, you had a little bit of a signal there for Team Zepeda.

03:53What was that?

03:54I'm just letting them know I'm ready and I'm coming.

03:57This is my spot.

03:58This is my opportunity, and I can't wait to show the fans who I truly am.

04:02It does feel like this is a moment where you get to remind people that you are great at every level of boxing.

04:08You have been throughout your career.

04:10Is that something that's giving you a little more energy this week?

04:13Yeah, for sure.

04:14It's a lot of doubters.

04:15It's a lot of haters.

04:16There's a lot of people that think that I'm not who I say I am.

04:19So, Saturday night, we're going to see if they right or they wrong, and I promise you they wrong.

04:24Hamza Shiraz!

04:28Alright, Mike.

04:29A lot of people here in the United States aren't too familiar with Shiraz, other than that he carries a lot of class.

04:34He looks good.

04:35Great smiles.

04:36Speaks well.

04:37Super awesome individual.

04:38What are we going to see in the ring from him?

04:40I think Hamza Shiraz, if he wants to score this win, which will be the biggest win of his career,

04:44he has to keep in sight long, use his feet, use his jab, and then punish Berlinga when he makes a mistake.

04:49Tell me why this one's different.

04:51Because I've got a lot to prove.

04:53I've got a lot to prove, and like I said, it's the first one in America.

04:56And what a reception I've received here.

04:59What a reception, like the love I'm getting here and whatnot.

05:01So, yeah, I'm looking forward to it, man.

05:03You walked around New York, and Edgar says he's the king of New York.

05:07And, you know, you did a little skit here with the Ring Magazine, and it didn't seem like many people knew who he was.

05:12What was that all about?

05:13It was just something that had to be done.

05:17You know what I mean?

05:18Something that had to be done.

05:19But like I said, come Saturday night, they all know who I am.

05:22Edgar, the chosen one, Berlinga!

05:27Well, Mike, most people remember Edgar Berlinga not from his most recent fight where he knocked out a tomato can in round one in Orlando,

05:36but his fight against Canelo Alvarez.

05:39Where does he sit in your mind, talent-wise, and in this division?

05:42Todd, I think he has a lot to prove.

05:44You know, that fight against Canelo Alvarez, he gets dropped in round two,

05:47and then I didn't really think he was doing his best to win the fight.

05:50He certainly didn't impress other than going the distance.

05:53How does this moment feel?

05:54Oh, it's amazing, man.

05:56You know, I want to thank my people, everybody, you know, that's coming out July 12th.

06:00It's going to be a spectacular night, man.

06:02You know, I'm locked in, super locked in.

06:05And I'm ready to perform, man.

06:07You know, it's a blessing to be here.

06:08You know what I'm saying?

06:09The headlining in New York, where I was born and raised at, you know what I'm saying, is the concrete jungle.

06:14Any message to Hamza?

06:15Him and his team are standing over there.

06:17They had a couple words to say as well.

06:18Any message?

06:19I don't give a f*** about them.

06:21F*** them.

06:22They already know the vibes, man.

06:23I'm outside.

06:24You know what I'm saying?

06:25They move on to the next.

06:26You know what I'm saying?

06:27You know what I'm saying?

06:28They move on to the next.

06:29What's the big thing?
