00:00I want you to protect yourself
00:01at all times and obey my
00:02commands at all times.
00:04Any questions?
00:06Any questions?
00:07Touch them up.
00:08Go.
00:09Joe Tessitore and Chris Algieri
00:11on the call ringside.
00:13Bernardo Asuna work in the
00:14corners.
00:15Mark Regal on the score.
00:17Chris when we spent time with
00:19Venato Lopez's camp yesterday
00:21they said he was a relentless
00:23worker in his training camp.
00:25They wanted him to stop at times
00:26I want to keep working but it's
00:28purpose driven long term.
00:30He said I want to have
00:32freedom.
00:33I want to retire someday and have
00:35all the money in the world and
00:36just be with my family.
00:37It's one of the best reasons I've
00:39heard for fighting in a long
00:40time.
00:41I want to buy time to spend with
00:43my family so I don't have to
00:44work.
00:45It's awesome.
00:53Especially worked on his
00:54conditioning for this fight.
00:56He expects a very active version
00:58of Angelo Leo.
01:00Leo's been a little more refined
01:02since the loss to Fulton.
01:03You see the right hand awkwardly
01:04going to the body.
01:05You see all these odd angles from
01:07Lopez.
01:08So punches coming from unorthodox
01:10angles and attack points all the
01:12time.
01:13That fight against Fulton when he
01:15lost his title at 122 pounds.
01:18It was a non-stop war.
01:20They combined for nearly 2,000 total
01:23punches thrown, Chris.
01:24Yeah, which is why Lopez decided that
01:26conditioning was going to be a big
01:27part of the preparation for this
01:28fight against Leo.
01:29And you've got a guy who throws a
01:30ton of punches.
01:30You've got a guy who's a body
01:31puncher.
01:32Also, we're at elevation here.
01:33So being in shape is going to be
01:34very, very important.
01:36As I believe you found out on the
01:37treadmill earlier today.
01:38Yeah, I couldn't believe that 5
01:39miles felt like the way it did.
01:44When you look at the legs of
01:46Venato Lopez, Venato, which means
01:49deer, you see how explosive he is,
01:50how he closes the gap.
01:52Those powerful legs underneath him
01:53allows him for those explosive
01:54movements, closes the gap very,
01:56very quickly.
01:57I mean, just sometimes you sit back
01:58and you watch the offensive attack.
02:00Look at these hands.
02:01I mean, that left hand he just
02:02thrown was thrown.
02:04He was ducking to his right and
02:06thrown from distance as Andrew Leo
02:08then finds some success on the
02:09inside.
02:10Nice countersome, Leo.
02:11He had a right hand off the ropes
02:12and then a left hook to the body
02:13as he went underneath one of those
02:15sweeping shots of Lopez.
02:17Hey, listen, there's going to be
02:18countering opportunities.
02:20They just may be a little
02:21unconventional.
02:22Yeah, the problem with Lopez is
02:23he hits you with punches you
02:24don't see.
02:25Yes.
02:25Once you don't see are the ones
02:26that hurt the most.
02:30Oh, big right hand.
02:33Around the glove, big shot.
02:38It's an active first round.
02:42See, this is where Lopez needs
02:43to be, excuse me, that Leo needs
02:44to be active.
02:45When he has Lopez against the
02:46ropes, that's where the
02:47fundamentals really break down
02:48for Venato.
02:51Venato trying to wrap that
02:52right hand around, went around
02:55the guard, then to the inside,
02:56then to the body with it in a
02:58four-punch sequence.
03:01Leo said himself that the jab was
03:03going to be a key factor in this
03:04fight.
03:06Needs to be busy with that lead
03:07hand.
03:09Oh, beautiful.
03:10Beautiful right hand.
03:12What a counter.
03:14Stop, stop, stop, stop.
03:16Great.
03:23It's a good first round between
03:25these two.
03:29Yo, those are nice.
03:30Hold on one second.
03:31Candice, what's up?
03:32I think my daughter's going pro at
03:33basketball.
03:34She's three.
03:35What's your point?
03:36I'll take those.
03:36Wait, you're at Dix?
03:37Could you pick up in a
03:38jolity ladder for my daughter?
03:39One second, one second.
03:39Candice.
03:40You're done.
03:40What are you doing?
03:41Well, you're at Dix.
03:42Grab me that new Z&D hoodie.
03:44Candice.
03:44Trent.
03:45Can you get me a red track
03:46suit?
03:46Okay.
03:46What else?
03:47Bandage.
03:47Hey, Pat.
03:48Maybe a scrunchie.
03:49Ace, you got to see her.
03:50You got two a day going right
03:51now.
03:52What do you think is the next
03:53step?
03:53Hey, Patrick, let me call you
03:54back.
03:55She hung up.
03:56Oh, my goodness.
03:57This dude, I cannot.
03:59When the sawdust settles and
04:01the engine roars, the thing
04:02you care about is a job well
04:04done.
04:05But when you get your tools from
04:06Harbor Freight, something about
04:07the job feels different.
04:09Your wallet.
04:10Whatever you do, do it for less
04:12at Harbor Freight.
04:21Whether you're doing it yourself
04:22or hiring a pro, today, let's
04:24paint.
04:24Exclusively at the Home Depot.
04:32For an AccompuBox, Angel
04:34Leo had a 13-10 connect
04:36advantage, landed at a better
04:37percentage, 27% of his total
04:41punches.
04:42He's going to need to keep that
04:43up tonight.
04:45He's going to be successful.
04:47Obviously, he has a game plan,
04:48but we have a world title fight
04:50in our hands here with two very,
04:51very talented young men.
04:54This is the action from the last
04:59round.
05:00There's that beautiful counter
05:01off the ropes there that I spoke
05:02about.
05:02Really nice, straight right hand
05:04to catch and shoot off the elbow
05:05there, which is something that
05:07Leo's going to have to do to
05:09combat those wild swings from
05:11Venato.
05:11So interesting how he'll double up,
05:15triple up that right hand in the
05:16midst of an offensive attack.
05:17Venato.
05:19There's a body shot.
05:20As Leo gets the warning, but he is a
05:24body puncher to the max.
05:26Nine times AccompuBox has tracked
05:29his fights, and in those nine fights,
05:32he's landed 899 body punches.
05:36You have to be careful leaning over
05:38that front foot against Lopez.
05:39He's got a brilliant rear-handed
05:40uppercut.
05:41He's scored a lot of highlight reel
05:43knockouts with that shot.
05:44You want to make sure you keep your
05:45eyes up.
05:46There's another left hand to the body.
05:48He gets an early warning, Chris.
05:53Leo needs to be careful with that.
05:55I mean, oh, big right hand over the
05:56top, and a jab from Leo.
05:59And he comes in on the attack.
06:01A sweeping right hand around the
06:03guard.
06:04Big moment here in round two.
06:10Lopez seems excited by the action.
06:18And this is what we've been talking
06:20about all night tonight.
06:21Leo with the fundamentals.
06:23Lopez with the athleticism, the
06:25unorthodox movement.
06:32That jab from Leo pops the head back
06:35of Venato.
06:36Venato comes back with that right
06:37uppercut and combinations of that
06:39intuitive offense where he just lets
06:40those hands fly.
06:44Double jab that time from Angelo.
06:48And he digs to the body again.
06:49It was right on the belt line.
06:51Yeah, he did it when the ref was on
06:52the opposite side of him.
06:53That's right.
06:54Veteran move.
07:02Good feint there from Leo.
07:04See, Leo did a great job of answering
07:18everything that the champ throws.
07:21Not letting him rip too many long
07:22combinations and good counter right
07:24hand from Leo over the top.
07:25Punching between the punches.
07:28It's a good looking second round
07:30for the hometown favorite.
07:33Great, great.
07:34I'm Aya.
07:37I'm the next generation of
07:39artificial intelligence.
07:42Aya is always watching.
07:45Family is everything.
07:47Respect my power.
07:49Always obey Aya.
07:52I am everywhere.
07:53Everywhere.
07:54Everywhere.
07:56Do you want to see what I look like?
08:02Afrained exclusively in theaters
08:04August 30th rated PG-13.
08:06Welcome to the Little League
08:07Softball World Series
08:09on the networks of ESPN.
08:22Punch of the Night is brought to you
08:24by Miller Lite.
08:25And it showcases the now 10-0 22-year-old
08:29Chop Chop Gonzalez who scored a third round
08:32knockout tonight against Daniel Alcala, Chris.
08:35One of the most impressive fighters on the undercard
08:38tonight was Chop Chop Gonzalez.
08:39Showed incredible fundamentals.
08:41Great one Tuesday.
08:42You saw that shot right there.
08:43Right hand right on the point of the chin
08:45of his opponent, Alcala.
08:46Excellent, excellent shot.
08:48And great fighter.
08:48So he's an undefeated featherweight prospect.
08:51Meanwhile, we have the guy who many consider
08:54the best featherweight in the world
08:56in the ring right now,
08:57Venado Lopez.
08:58But it's the challenger.
09:00Angelo Leo off to a good start
09:02in that last round.
09:03He landed 24 of 49 punches,
09:06including 11 to the body.
09:08Yeah, Leo, I mean,
09:09he has a game plan
09:10and he's executing.
09:11These last couple rounds
09:12have been really, really smart.
09:13Using some lateral movement
09:14mixed in between there,
09:15but then stopping
09:16and firing on a dime.
09:17Really, really sharp work
09:18from Leo early on.
09:20And just placed another
09:21counter right hand.
09:22Bernardo, what can you tell us?
09:23I spoke with Armando Valenzuela
09:24who trains Lopez
09:25and he says,
09:26look, I need him to throw more jabs
09:28and that left hook,
09:29which is landing.
09:30Look, the other kid
09:31is throwing good shots,
09:33but they're not affecting
09:34Venado so far.
09:35You see Venado just running
09:36aggressively running out
09:38to attack Leo moments ago.
09:40A sweeping right hand.
09:43Leo returns fire.
09:44Fights his way
09:45out of that corner.
09:47And that's the key there,
09:48Tess, you said.
09:49Returns fire.
09:50He's been returning everything.
09:51He's been answering the champion
09:52whenever something's coming his way.
09:54That's very, very smart.
09:59Glad to tell you
10:00we will be commercial free
10:02for the remainder
10:03of this featherweight championship fight.
10:11Good jab that time
10:12backing up by Leo.
10:14You know, the corner saying
10:15that the punches
10:16were not affecting him.
10:17Venado has an excellent chin.
10:18He believes in his chin
10:19as he takes a big right hand.
10:22That right hand
10:23has been there
10:23from the challenger.
10:25Right uppercut on the inside.
10:26Fired off by Lopez
10:27and another one.
10:29And then wraps around
10:30with the left hand
10:30to the body.
10:31That right uppercut
10:32from Venado, man.
10:33It's such a beautiful shot.
10:34He has highlight reel
10:35knockouts from that
10:35over and over again.
10:37Leo's been taking it well,
10:39but for how long?
10:41See, Venado
10:42sort of getting
10:42into a rhythm,
10:43that confident rhythm
10:44right in the pocket
10:45midway through round three.
10:46Best way to disrupt
10:51the man's rhythm
10:51is a jab.
10:52Leo needs to go back
10:53to that jab,
10:54not get away from it.
11:01Venado trying to place
11:02that right hand
11:02to the body again.
11:06Ooh, nice sharp jab
11:08from the challenger.
11:09Trying to have that
11:12tight defense
11:13against the chaotic attack
11:15of Venado Lopez.
11:24Lopez just looks so powerful
11:25with those shots.
11:26He does.
11:27Even when they land
11:27on the shoulder,
11:28it moves Leo's entire body.
11:30And a three.
11:59Remember, activity.
12:00If you see,
12:02he lands three or four,
12:03he's got to come back
12:03to five, six.
12:07So, you know,
12:07he expects the right hand,
12:09so when you use
12:09your jab,
12:10then...
12:11I'm going to take a look
12:11at some of the early success
12:13of Leo Herr,
12:13the challenger.
12:14He said he needed
12:15to start out with the jab.
12:16The jab has been there.
12:17The body shots
12:18are something that's always
12:19been part of Leo's game,
12:20but then he's added
12:21the right hand.
12:22The overhand right
12:23has been a success
12:24all night long,
12:25starting in round one.
12:27He's landed 54 total punches,
12:2938 of them are power punches,
12:3123 to the body.
12:36That last round
12:37was better for Lopez
12:39through a fight high 78
12:42to this point,
12:42a connect high 14.
12:44Good crowd here.
12:45Fight Fans Fight Town
12:47is Albuquerque,
12:48and they are getting
12:49the kind of style
12:50they like in the ring.
12:52Round number four
12:52for the featherweight championship,
12:55and Angelo Leo
12:56comes out pressing
12:56the action and attacking.
12:58Short and right uppercut
12:59again from the champion.
13:01And one of the reasons
13:02that we've been so excited
13:03about this fight
13:03since it's been announced
13:04is both men
13:05are pressure fighters.
13:05Both guys put a ton
13:07of pressure
13:07in their opponents
13:08so you know
13:09they're going to meet
13:09and have a lot of action.
13:11Look at Lopez.
13:14Just watch his face
13:15in the midst of a fight.
13:16Watch his reaction.
13:17He's always playing
13:18to the crowd
13:19or looking our way
13:20or looking over
13:21to the corner
13:21and reacting.
13:22His arm got caught
13:23in the ropes,
13:23which is a very
13:24teacher's place to be
13:25and he laughed it off.
13:26He's a wild man in there.
13:32Nice combination.
13:33Three-punch combination
13:34finishing to the body.
13:38You know,
13:39we've been speaking
13:39about the body punching
13:40of Leo all night.
13:41Veneto Lopez
13:42is actually an excellent
13:43body puncher as well,
13:44especially off that
13:45right uppercut,
13:45left hook to the body
13:46combination.
13:47We've seen him use that
13:48in great success
13:49in the past.
13:51That was a right hand
13:52that got to the side
13:53of the head.
13:58You know, Tess,
13:59I mentioned that
13:59the added wrinkles
14:00to the game
14:01of Angelo Leo
14:03in the recent years
14:03has been that right hand.
14:05I didn't see that
14:05as much back in there,
14:06especially at the
14:07middle distance.
14:07Now we're seeing
14:08that as a major weapon
14:09and part of the
14:10game plan tonight.
14:15Right, right!
14:16Step back clean.
14:21He's able to carry
14:22that right hand.
14:23Come back with
14:24inside work.
14:25Short right hand
14:25on the inside
14:26with the uppercut.
14:27Break, break!
14:30As I mentioned
14:31in the lab
14:31in the lead-up
14:32to this fight
14:32with Venado Lopez,
14:34he tends to get a little
14:34bit lax on the inside.
14:36And that's where
14:36Leo is very, very effective.
14:38He is genuine,
14:39generally,
14:39an inside fighter.
14:42Oh, beautiful uppercut
14:44on the inside
14:44from Venado.
14:45It's a right uppercut
14:46on the inside
14:47that landed
14:48from Venado Lopez.
14:49Break, break!
14:50Step back clean.
14:51That's been the most
14:51consistent weapon
14:52tonight for Lopez.
14:54Off balance that time.
14:56Twist and turn around
14:57as Leo was firing.
15:11Great, great, great.
15:13Step back clean.
15:15You hear the crowd
15:18trying to support
15:20Angelo Leo.
15:22Albuquerque's
15:24very own.
15:28Lopez needs to be
15:29careful
15:29as he's closing
15:30the distance.
15:31He needs to be
15:31more deceptive
15:32as he crosses
15:32that critical distance line
15:33so he doesn't eat
15:34those uppercuts
15:34consistently.
15:40Great, great, great.
15:41Fail, fail!
16:06You're giving away
16:07some points.
16:07I need you to use angles.
16:09I need you to throw punches.
16:11It depends on you.
16:14Let's go do this.
16:17He's throwing more punches
16:18so he can be
16:19still in the round.
16:20We need to let your hands go.
16:22Don't spin
16:22because he hit you
16:23behind the head.
16:25Come up and out.
16:26This is for your daughter.
16:28It's not for you.
16:28It's for your daughter.
16:30Can you or not?
16:32Can you do it or not?
16:35Alright, let's do it.
16:38Show him who Venado Lopez is.
16:4137-39, three rounds to one.
17:02Angelo Leo, you give that first round
17:03to whoever you really want.
17:05Yes.
17:06But that slow start
17:07that Venado was talking about
17:09didn't happen from Angelo Leo.
17:11He's stronger than Leo,
17:13but Leo's more precise.
17:14What I'm wondering is,
17:16can Leo hurt him?
17:17Yeah, to your point,
17:18in terms of the accuracy,
17:20Angelo's landing 40%
17:21of his total punches, Mark.
17:23And Venado's landing 18%.
17:2518%.
17:26Wow.
17:27That's a very rare stat
17:28against Venado Lopez.
17:36Hey, Tess, what do you do
17:37when you got a guy in front of you
17:38with a good chin?
17:39Hit him to the bottom.
17:41And that's what he does.
17:42That's what he does.
17:45Break, break, break, break.
17:47Oh, wide-sweeping right hand.
17:53Lopez had the glove up,
17:55but definitely took some
17:56flack on that shot.
17:57Great.
18:04There's a right hand
18:05to the body again.
18:06Ah, but Lopez
18:07with that tricky right uppercut.
18:08Yeah, it just sneaks it in
18:10in the midst of the exchanges.
18:14And that's something
18:15that Leo has done in the past.
18:16He'll lean heavy
18:17over that front foot.
18:18Being a body puncher,
18:18being an inside fighter,
18:20that head tends to be
18:21over that front foot,
18:22which is right in range
18:24for that uppercut.
18:27Three-punch combination
18:28finishes with the left
18:29to the body.
18:31Tries to split the guard
18:32with a straight right hand,
18:33right uppercut again.
18:34This is where Venado
18:35is so dangerous.
18:36If you stand in front of him,
18:37he's going to let
18:38those combinations rip.
18:43Oh.
18:46Here it is again.
18:51And Angel comes forward.
18:55Left hook starts that off.
18:59As Leo gets away from the jab,
19:01there's more and more
19:02opportunities for Venado
19:04Lopez, the champ,
19:05to win the moments
19:05and land those big shots,
19:07especially the right uppercut.
19:08The right hand over the top.
19:19Lopez responds by firing back.
19:21Nearly turns off
19:22to the right side
19:23and eats a right hand.
19:24Just got out of the way.
19:26He heard from his corner,
19:27and they said,
19:27don't do that.
19:28Don't turn your back.
19:29Don't be careful.
19:29Oh, big right hand.
19:31Rocks Leo.
19:32He just touches him around
19:36under that elbow.
19:37More body work
19:38on the inside
19:39from Leo.
19:40What a good fight this is.
19:42Excellent action-packed stuff.
19:43This has been
19:44a fantastic round.
19:45A really good one
19:46for the champ.
19:53Good stuff
19:54as we come
19:54to the end
19:55of five.
20:01Just keep your hands up.
20:02You've got power
20:03to cut right there, okay?
20:04Just keep your hands up.
20:06Don't lock your hands.
20:07What he's doing,
20:09he's coming in.
20:11When he comes in,
20:12he throws shots,
20:15then he's waiting
20:15for you to come right away.
20:17Then he's trying
20:18to counter you, okay?
20:19Be careful with that.
20:21One year,
20:22time in,
20:22right?
20:22So let's see.
20:23I like it.
20:24He's trying punches.
20:25Be ready to react,
20:27like set up your counter.
20:28And when you throw it,
20:29go body, body, head.
20:31Go head to head,
20:31body, be careful
20:32because he's trying to cut.
20:34One of the most
20:34consistent rounds
20:35of the night
20:35tonight for the champ.
20:37This has been a punch.
20:38That looping shot
20:39around the gloves
20:41of Leo
20:42has been a good weapon.
20:45Leo,
20:45because he has
20:45that guard up,
20:46tends to blind himself
20:47to that looping shot.
20:49And Venano Lopez
20:49is finding a home.
20:51Good enough!
20:52He's working on
20:53the body.
20:53He's working on
20:54the ground.
20:54He's working on
20:55the ground.
20:55He's working on
20:56the ground.
20:57He's working on
20:57the ground.
20:58He's working on
20:59the ground.
20:59He's working on
21:00the ground.
21:00He's working on
21:01the ground.
21:01Round number six,
21:02IBF featherweight
21:03World Championship
21:04on the line.
21:06The fourth defense
21:07of the title
21:07by Venano Lopez.
21:09He's won 13 straight
21:11fights,
21:11eight by knockout.
21:13But it's Angelo Leo
21:14who's enjoying
21:15a 103-70 connect advantage
21:17to this point.
21:18Talk about the
21:21attitude of Venano
21:22Lopez.
21:22Look at him walk
21:23Leo down.
21:26Controlling the
21:27center of the ring,
21:27keeping his man
21:28on the back foot
21:29and with his back
21:30against the ropes
21:31for as much as he can.
21:32So unconventional
21:33when you see him
21:34come out like this.
21:35Just so aggressive.
21:36He is.
21:38Firing off more and more
21:39of those right uppercuts.
21:39That's one thing
21:47about Lopez.
21:48His confidence grows
21:49as he's able to step
21:50forward, step to you.
22:09The output of Leo
22:30seems to be dropping
22:31these last two rounds.
22:33Venano was stepping
22:34in to fill the gap.
22:35Especially in this round.
22:36Yes, this has been
22:37a very slow round
22:38for the challengers.
22:39Now that's straight
22:44a little low.
22:50Right, right.
22:52Step back, please.
23:00There's a right hand
23:01firing back from Leo.
23:03Big shot.
23:03Very eye-catching as well.
23:05Snap the head back
23:06of the champion.
23:09And that's one thing
23:10about Venano Lopez.
23:12Yes, he has a great chin,
23:13but he's also so reactive
23:15with the punches.
23:15Even the punches that land,
23:16he is able to pull away
23:18and take some of the power
23:19off the shot.
23:20That one looked very dramatic,
23:21but I don't think
23:21it landed as clear
23:22as hard as you think.
23:23It's one of those proud-reacting shots
23:27rather than impactful shots.
23:32And you see him just even
23:33pull back and roll out
23:35to the side on that
23:36as well from distance.
23:37And that's the thing
23:38about hyper-reactive
23:39athletic fighters.
23:40Sometimes they make punches
23:41miss by such a small margin.
23:43And that's all it takes.
23:53Ooh.
23:55Very nice setup.
23:57And that's what we spoke about
23:58in the lab,
23:58about Venano Lopez
23:59getting hot,
24:00getting his chin high
24:00along the ropes.
24:02Lopez taking advantage.
24:02I need you to be smarter.
24:14I need you to take a deep breath.
24:22Keep this in your mouth.
24:24Now spit it.
24:26Breathe.
24:32See Shushu Carrots
24:34in checking in
24:34on tonight's action.
24:42We need to start
24:43pressing this fight.
24:44We're in his hometown.
24:47So we need to go out there
24:48and just take it to him.
24:51Your right hook
24:52is the best fight.
24:55Your right hook
24:56is landing consistently
24:57and then throw it
24:58downstairs too.
25:02Great crowd here
25:04in Albuquerque
25:05to see what has been
25:07an entertaining
25:08night of action
25:09from our thrilling
25:10co-feature
25:11to right now
25:11this world championship
25:13fight
25:13with Angelo Leo.
25:16We're going to claim
25:16a crown in front
25:17of his hometown fans
25:18against the tricky
25:20unorthodox
25:20attacking style
25:21Venano Lopez.
25:31Already we're seeing
25:32an adjustment
25:32from Leo
25:33from the last round.
25:34The last round
25:34he just came forward
25:35was less active
25:36but stayed on the inside
25:37for the majority
25:38of the round.
25:39Earlier when he's
25:40having all that success
25:41he was using lateral
25:41movement
25:42firing from that position.
25:44This round we're seeing
25:44moving a little bit more
25:45using that jab
25:46once again.
25:59What is
25:59well protect yourself
26:00at all times.
26:02Referee
26:03Ernie Sharif
26:04is not going to get in there
26:05and do it for you.
26:07Venano Lopez
26:08turned his head
26:08in the midst of that attack
26:09from Angelo Leo.
26:11I don't know
26:12what that was.
26:13He turned his head
26:13and got hit behind the head
26:14and then looked at the ref.
26:18And that shows
26:19that nonchalant demeanor
26:21of the champion.
26:22trying to cut off the ring
26:25comes sweeping
26:25with a wild right uppercut
26:27that was well off the mark.
26:35Digs in with that left hand.
26:38The referee
26:39Ernie Sharif
26:40by the way
26:41does have world title experience
26:44but you got to go back
26:44to his last world title fight
26:45being November of 2019
26:47and that was
26:48Inouye-Donair 1.
26:53Did not exactly
26:54have the cleanest
26:54night that night
26:55as supporters
26:56of Inouye will tell you.
27:09Leo starting to use
27:10that left shoulder
27:10push off
27:11to create some distance
27:13to land the right hand.
27:14Did it twice this round already.
27:15Stalson straight back
27:20that time
27:20with the jab.
27:35Very impressed
27:36with the chin
27:36of Leo tonight.
27:37He's taking some big shots
27:38from a real puncher.
27:40Hasn't been
27:41doesn't seem to be
27:42overly affected
27:43by anything tonight.
27:45Do not push down in his head.
28:07Don't do it.
28:08Let's show you
28:10that sequence
28:11that happened
28:11in the seventh round
28:12where Bernardo Lopez
28:14turned his head.
28:16Watch this
28:17left hand
28:18from Leo
28:20that he
28:20I believe
28:21thought was a low blow.
28:22You can see him
28:23turning to the referee
28:23as if to complain.
28:25But in the midst of that
28:26listen Leo
28:27has the right
28:27to still be on the attack
28:29unless the referee
28:29Ernie Sharif
28:30comes in
28:31makes a break
28:31gives a warning.
28:32Yeah there was no signal
28:33from the referee
28:34the referee was
28:35on the opposite side
28:36of the punch
28:36didn't see it
28:37we really couldn't
28:38see it either
28:39if it was low or not.
28:48Take a look
28:49at the punch
28:50that has made
28:51Bernardo a star
28:51that rear-handed uppercut
28:53that he places
28:56so masterfully
28:57sets up beautifully
28:58has a great intuition
28:59for this punch
29:00doesn't even see
29:01where it is
29:02to land it
29:03fires it
29:04from so many
29:05different positions
29:06and generates
29:07a tremendous amount
29:07of power
29:08once again
29:08with those big
29:09strong legs
29:10that he has
29:10able to generate
29:10that power
29:11from that uppercut.
29:15Of course
29:18the body punches
29:19landed by Leo
29:20always a big story
29:22here are the body
29:22punches landed
29:23per round tonight
29:24to add up
29:26to a 52-24
29:27advantage for him.
29:32Break!
29:33Break!
29:34Break!
29:35Don't do that
29:36now.
29:36Keep him up.
29:38Go!
29:47Right uppercut
29:48getting in
29:49between punches
29:50again.
29:50And that
29:51was combinations
29:52this
29:52that fluid
29:53free-flowing
29:54style of
29:55Venato
29:56when he's
29:56on his
29:56offense
29:57is so
29:57difficult
29:58to defend
29:58against.
29:59Blood from the
30:00mouth now
30:00of the challenger
30:01Leo.
30:02Break!
30:14Break!
30:14Break!
30:15Break!
30:16Break!
30:16Break!
30:17Break!
30:18Break!
30:20That is the live money line right now as Angelo Leo is a minus 175 favorites
30:41to claim the title Wow from a plus 350 to a minus 175 well everybody all week
30:49said he is a live dog and he's showing it listen lay in the pocket there Leo did
30:59his homework he came prepared he knew what he had in front of us is it gonna be
31:05enough also got a whole lot of flight to go against a big puncher who finishes
31:11strong and may not be landing as many punches but his punches landed are
31:20effective yeah Lopez definitely the heavier handed of the two but also his
31:25ability to rip off combinations and build makes him so dangerous at any point
31:29during the fight
31:32oh good combination that time leo grits his teeth and comes right back be
31:43careful with that shoulder referee has not worn him yet but
31:49both men looking for a little bit of space
31:56great great don't hit him in the back of his head last one box
32:16looks like a cut under the right eye of Leo a lot of inside fighting going on
32:23putting that pressure getting late and there it is you can see the damage that is
32:29done under the right eye you're gonna have to do more of that in the inside okay
32:33he's trying to hold it
32:40Use that jab, set up your right hand, short right hand, when you throw that jab, time
32:53for the left hand.
32:54It's time to throw the other handbook, so if you want to keep snipping, use that jab
32:59and then set up your handbook.
33:01Keep digging though, you looking good.
33:03You got this, you got this, if you stay smart, you can beat this guy, okay?
33:14You're doing what you're supposed to do.
33:16Every time he comes, you come back with something, okay?
33:2176, 76, four rounds apiece.
33:27This is really an endurance contest, always.
33:29It is.
33:30Venado Lopez-Marc yesterday said to us that he felt that would be the case, and thus
33:35why he worked on his conditioning extensively during training camp.
33:41You brought up the point earlier, Chris, fighting here in Albuquerque, you're fighting at elevation.
33:46Great!
33:47Step back playing both of you.
33:50Leo trained in Santa Fe, which is apparently even higher than here, so obviously prepared
33:56for the elevation.
33:57Great, great!
33:59Hope you're clenching too much now.
34:04In the corner of Luis Alberto Lopez, I spoke with Armando Valenzuela, they're not happy with
34:17the performance of referee Ernest Sharif, they say.
34:21Even Venado's telling him, he's seeing everything just one-sided.
34:23And they say, look, if he's using the shoulder, use your shoulder.
34:26If he goes low, you go low.
34:29Big right hand rocks Venado.
34:34And now he's getting that forearm and just making it rough on the inside.
34:37And there is the warning from Ernie Sharif.
34:41Leo not showing any respect for the champion, making this a physical fight.
34:45Using the shoulder, using the elbow.
34:46Oh, it's the right hand that came in.
34:47Oh, good left hook there from the champion.
34:50Oh, another right hand.
34:52Back with a right hand between punches does Angelo and Leo.
34:57Each man has had his moments here in round number nine.
35:02Leo finding a home for that counter right hand in the middle of the shots that the champion throws.
35:16Right, right.
35:18Step back to him.
35:19Step back.
35:23Oh.
35:26Left hook.
