00:00all right gentlemen I've already given you both your instructions in the dressing room so I'm
00:06just going to tell you again obey my commands at all times protect yourself at all times touch
00:10them up back you go and let's have it two very big fellas about to meet in the middle of this
00:16ring here in Cairns it is Ruston and Kumar this one officially at cruise away and Ruston always
00:28is oozing confidence Kumar has done it on the road before but perhaps just the hint of nerves as he
00:34stood there at center ring being introduced a moment ago Ruston trying to work off what is a
00:43powerful jab Kumar he has power to eight knockouts in his nine victories so far and he can see there's
00:51something on those punches Michael yeah 100% he's come out trying to stamp his authority you know
00:55patient I've seen him in the back rooms again you know he he can punch he definitely can punch and
01:00um you know at this way you know it takes only one punch yeah he can punch no doubt I mentioned that
01:07big fight in the UK that big victory that he had and he will be looking to do the same here in Cairns
01:15this evening against a man who is on a fast track Kira Ruston was a very good amateur and it's been an
01:23outstanding pro so far he was so impressive in that Australian light heavyweight title fight that I
01:29mentioned on the Thurman v Jarvis card was a rapper also fought on that night he fought beautifully I was in
01:36the back room warming up um and I was watching it and yeah he just the way he just he puts all these
01:42punches together and just the timing I mean you know he just stays composed relaxed you know for
01:46someone that's had six fights he looks like you know he's had 20 fights you know he's he's super
01:51composed he never looks like he's panicking it was a really damaging punching performance that
01:57from Ruston and Kumar gets one over the top nice right hand he's got around the gloves there of Ruston
02:06who turns around a right hand of his own when body and then head with it he does look good when he
02:12punches in combinations does Ruston who just pulls forward now onto Kumar but there's something on his
02:20jab Kumar as he works well to the body with a left rip as well uppercut from range from Kumar but
02:30Ruston came back with a right hand that his corner really liked and he turns it around into an uppercut
02:35as well and now he's on the chase he's rusted powerful jab though from Kumar he's so strong
02:44rusted like he's got good defense you know because these are the shots that change the game must be
02:51the head movement there from Kumar jabs but Kumar comes back with a couple right hand from Ruston
03:03Kumar shrugs at him then he fires a nice jab does the Indian he comes through again with shots does
03:10Kumar but Ruston he responds and they both try and work and they tangle him late in the rounds stop stop
03:19listen to me break step back box it looks like he's just tiring out a little bit Kumar you know you
03:26come out too hard I think in the first round but it doesn't help that he puts everything into every
03:33jab he is firing them at Kira Ruston who sits down in the corner here with Gareth Williams
03:40you're taking you you're doing perfect center ring edging edge edging him back but I want a little
03:47bit more head movement left and right okay we're walking in a bit which is sometimes his jab can come
03:51through okay as you move forward before you'll notice him occasionally get sloppy his hand down
03:57that's when you can come body head like you did before okay stay patient stay calm a little bit
04:03more head movement coming off the line a little bit okay what did you see in that opening rounds Michael
04:09look I just saw a real calm and just relaxed Ruston you know but a super aggressive Kumar you know
04:17someone that wants to not look like you want to go the distance he wants to end this and continue that
04:21knockout rate for his resume but yeah I definitely gave the first round to Kumar it was very strong
04:30the start from the Indian Kumar he looked nervous before they got started but once they commenced he
04:37looked right at home such a powerful jab that he has and Ruston in the early stages of this second
04:44round looks to have a bit more intent about what he's doing and what more head movement from him
04:52and he just chops away with a hook there and Kumar does the same
04:59there's so much power in front of each fighter even Kumar's jab it's just he's got so much
05:10about one jab walking forward even when he sits on his heels and throws his jab there's so much on it
05:17he tries to turn that left hand into a lead hook works to the body as well as Ruston just covers up to
05:27the jab he's trying to drag himself to his feet but that is too big a shot that is menacing stuff that is brutal
05:51Ruston destroys him it was all coming towards him he absorbed it then he exploded Kira Ruston
06:03what a punch and what a moment for a man in professional bout number seven
06:10a knockout of the year contender sends him down hard with the right hands
06:21oh the back leg buckled on Kumar
06:31you could see as soon as the ladder that he wasn't getting back up that was a clean shot
06:37Ruston just stayed nice and composed and relaxed like I said that that shot was coming all along
06:41he's just so uh he boxed so beautifully you know like people think he doesn't throw too many in the
06:46in the first second third round but he's just getting that distance and when he finds it you
06:50know he can punch himself and he's knocking everyone out that's put in front of him
06:53that's what he did last time around as well he was patient he waited for his moment
06:57when it appeared he struck and when he strikes Kira Ruston it is brutal and it is the end of the fight
07:05what a shot
07:09there was a lot coming towards him Michael but he's just got that that extra special little thing
07:19doesn't he 100% I say it always comes down to just that being calm and just composed and just relaxed
07:26um you see everything when it does that and then obviously you can pick your shots
07:29and um yeah credit to Kumar though he came out wanting to make a statement and he's got some
07:34serious lead in both hands they're sledgehammers but um all the credit goes to Ruston tonight and the
07:39team for a beautiful another beautiful performance about the toughness of Kumar as well it did look like
07:45he was gone the moment he hit the canvas but he tried to drag himself up he got to his feet but all
07:52too late and it is time to crown the winner in this fight Kira Ruston
