00:00Back here at El Torreo, in Mexico City, Mexico, used to be a bullring.
00:07They're trying to bring the bullfights back, but right now let's soak in some local cultural flavor, mariachi style.
00:30Back here at El Coro, in Mexico City, Mexico City, Mexico City, Mexico City.
01:00All right we're getting set for
01:26the WBC super lightweight
01:28Chavez and Angel Hernandez the matador versus the bull but Hernandez told us Chavez is like the bull but without the horns well he'll about the middle of the first round he's going to feel that left hook to the belly and he'll know the horns are in place Chavez is simply the greatest fighter fighting today there's several people close to him maybe Peewee Whitaker could be Pernell Whitaker could turn out to be one maybe Julian Jackson could turn out to be another but right now there's only one Julio Chavez and he is the best going well for years and years it seems like
01:57he's had the tag of best fighter pound for pound or as they say here Libra for Libra in the world you think that still applies I do I just can't think of anybody that's close to him right now because of the length of his career the way he's handled it and the mastery over anybody they put inside with him so as far as I'm concerned I don't know anybody that's close to him
02:27if I envy Hernandez tonight no Hernandez has got to be very concentrated I've seen him fight several times and he is a concentrated balanced determined fighter he's good with either hand he is undefeated he's ranked at the top and it's as good as you can get against Chavez but where are you going to go to find somebody to fight Chavez Camacho's here waiting and that's about it
02:57and he doesn't feel uncomfortable at all in fact he's a very cool customer so Chavez is Chavez Chavez is Chavez we're at El Torreo at Old Ball ring and we're getting set for Hernandez the challenger
03:12and you hear the crowd reacting in the background
03:16the tall rangy angel hernandez here he comes out of puerto rico
03:2237 0 and 22 knockouts owns the longest undefeated streak of any
03:27non-champion in boxing today tonight his first title fight
03:31under very difficult conditions but still he remains calm
03:36and we asked the angel how he plans to fight chavez he said
03:39you know i've had so many fights i'll adjust to him
03:42hernandez awaiting the arrival of the champion julio
03:48stays our chavez who shortly will emerge from his dressing room
03:53he'll soon hear the roar of his adoring fans
03:56and the capacity crowd here at historic el terreo in mexico city
04:04chanting ready to erupt at the sight of chavez their hometown hero a legend in his
04:10own time man who could probably be elected president
04:13of mexico if he chose to enter the political ring
04:18although fighting is probably less dangerous
04:20he's got with him eusebio pedroza the former great champion and olfredo gomez working with him
04:26both trying to inspire him and certainly they're they do give you a great deal of inspiration
04:31i don't look for this to be an easy fight for chavez but chavez isn't worried about whether something is
04:37easy or not he just goes and does this workman-like uh fight if it takes six rounds it takes six if it takes ten
04:42it takes ten and if he goes to the decision that's okay too he's there to fight the full time well
04:47he has cemented his place in boxing history as one of the all-time greats
04:51and remained a loyal son of mexico and here he comes the champion
04:57is
05:07mexico
05:09is
05:11me
05:17me
05:19me
05:53Rest of atmosphere here at El Torreo.
05:56How do they stack up at 29?
05:58Chavez, two years younger than Hernandez.
06:00Hernandez with the three-inch height advantage, the weight nearly even,
06:04and a one-and-a-half-inch reach advantage for the champ.
06:07And of the WBC rules, 10-point bus system, three scoring judges,
06:11no standing eight count, no three knockdown.
06:13Only the referee can stop the fight,
06:15and the fighter cannot be saved by the bell except in the last round.
06:19So here at El Torreo in Mexico City,
06:22we're getting set for the WBC Super Lightweight Championship.

38:45unbelievable record
38:47Tony Eubank
38:50Mesita and Lopez rounding things out
38:54standing by in the ring
38:57is the fight doctor
38:59Ferdy take it away
39:00Ferdy
39:01if it pays to make him mad
39:06it was a very difficult fight
39:21he's a very very good fighter
39:22but he was very very well prepared for this fight
39:24does it give him a lot of trouble
39:28he said yes
39:45the style was very difficult
39:46he kept pulling him in towards the rope
39:48but he knew that with patience
39:49and with a punch
39:51he would be able to overcome everything
39:52where the two warnings by Arthur Mercanti bother him
39:55the two avisos that you told Arthur Mercanti
39:58did you bother him?
39:59yes
39:59because I saw that he was hitting me
40:02and he was bothering me
40:03yes it did bother him
40:04because he feels that Mr. Mercanti
40:06saw that Pelayuto was pulling Julio toward the rope
40:09and that he really wasn't doing any fouls
40:11he was bothered by that
40:12well with Rosario out of the picture
40:14because he got knocked out today
40:16which was an opponent for him in the future
40:17what does he think about future opponents?
40:19he expects to make another title defense in July here in Mexico
40:40and then in September he will be meeting Hector Macho Camacho
40:43he says that this fight he dedicates to Mike Tyson
40:53he loves him
40:54and he saluted one of the professors that taught him a great deal
40:57tell him he's now gotten the status of God
41:02wait a minute
41:03the Japanese fighter said he doesn't want to fight him
41:06because he considers him a God
41:07and he won't fight him
41:08he says he'll fight with anyone that Don King decides
41:22and he just is very good and very very happy
41:25and he doesn't want Macho Camacho to run from him anymore
41:27thank you very much
41:28and now back from a jubilant Chavez and his interpreter Gloria
41:35we're going to have to go back to Steve Albert
41:39who is going to wait at ringside to talk to Don King
41:43all right Ferdy thank you very much
41:45yes the man to my immediate right needs no introduction
41:48Don King
41:49before we get to Mike Tyson
41:51really very exciting night here in Mexico City
41:53well it certainly is
41:54but what we want to do is
41:55to dedicate this whole program to Mike Tyson
41:58this is what we did
41:59we put it together here
42:00and everything is for Mike
42:01if he's listening and looking or if he's here about it
42:03we're out there with him
42:04we're standing behind him
42:05he don't have to worry about nothing
42:07do it and walk it off tough
42:08because we're going to help him to get out of there
42:10a bail request was denied early this week
42:12what's the latest on the appeal?
42:13well the appeal is
42:15is that they will give an answer next week
42:16but we know there's a terrible injustice
42:18because due process has been stepped on
42:20and the civil rights has been abrogated
42:22because there's only two crimes that are not available
42:25and that's treason and first degree murder
42:27you have guys going in with 300 kids in HIV infection
42:31and they give him bail
42:32he goes out
42:33he comes back
42:33they find another 200 with 5,000 pictures
42:35they put him in
42:36and give him a $20 million bail
42:37but they gave him bail
42:39Tyson they put in without bail
42:40well that's your opinion Don
42:42I know there are a lot of people
42:43who share a different opinion
42:45that he got a fair trial
42:46and you're the one who always says
42:48only in America
42:49one of the great things about America
42:50is its justice system
42:52it is
42:52when the justice system is working
42:54the greatest in the world
42:55when due process is given his chance
42:57to do his course
42:58there's no problem
42:59and you can't have a convenient America
43:00you can't have an America
43:01when it's good for you
43:02and when it's bad
43:03then you're going to say it's different
43:03no no
43:04you take the bitter with the sweet
43:05but the founding fathers
43:06infinite wisdom
43:07had a recourse
43:08where errors
43:09the correct errors
43:10that was an error
43:10I'm confident
43:12that the process of justice
43:13will vindicate that error
43:15and Tyson will be out
43:16so I'm happy about America
43:17I love America
43:18okay
43:18have you been able to talk
43:19to Mike Tyson recently
43:20no they have not let us talk
43:22to Mike Tyson
43:23they have kept us away from him
43:24they have let nobody see him
43:25and we want to go visit him
43:27and as soon as they give us
43:28an opportunity to visit him
43:29we will
43:29but we want him to keep up his spirit
43:31and walk tough like he's doing
43:32don't let him break his spirit
43:33you're still very heavily involved
43:35Don
43:36in the heavyweight division
43:37you've got several fighters
43:38including
43:39Tony TNT Tucker
43:40who we saw in action
43:41earlier tonight
43:42against Mike Faulkner
43:43we're going to take a look
43:44at the highlight
43:45Tony Tucker
43:46making quick work
43:48of Faulkner
43:50stopping him
43:50in the second round
43:52you have called him
43:53the next Mike Tyson
43:54do you really believe that
43:55or is that just Mike?
43:56No I think that
43:57Tony Tucker
43:58is going to be the next
43:59Tony Tucker
43:59he's working for himself
44:00I think that Mike
44:01is an unfillable boy
44:03I think that Tony Tucker
44:04is going to make his own niche
44:05he's one of the best out there
44:07he will fight
44:07any fighter in the world
44:08and he's truly
44:09a great heavyweight champion
44:10he only lost to Mike Tyson
44:12so he's making
44:13this return match now
44:14and Showtime
44:15is going to be very proud of him
44:16because we're going to be
44:17doing it every week we can
44:18with anybody we can
44:20and we don't pick
44:20no opponents
44:21anybody that comes
44:22that's who we fight
44:23but what can he learn
44:24against an overweight fighter
44:25like Michael Faulkner?
44:27he's getting himself
44:27back into shape to fight
44:29he's got the bit
44:30in his mouth now
44:30bring him on
44:31anybody that wants to come
44:32that's who we'll get
44:33this is what you have to do
44:34with fighters
44:34when they come in
44:35from a comeback
44:36it's been a long layoff
44:37you let them get back
44:37into the ring
44:38let them get the feeling again
44:40get focused and disciplined
44:41I think he's focused
44:42and disciplined
44:42if you see the way
44:43he finished him
44:43the way he was throwing
44:44punches and punches
44:45in combination
44:45what about two top contenders
44:48like Razor Ruddick
44:49and Riddick Bowe
44:50is that a matchup
44:51that is in the works?
44:52we certainly hope
44:53so Marad and I
44:54my partner with Razor Ruddick
44:55we tried to get
44:56Riddick Bowe to fight
44:57Riddick Bowe has been
44:57running all around
44:58they've been doing a lot
44:59of talking but they
45:00ain't doing no fighting
45:01and he's still fighting
45:02since he's never
45:02fought a top ten contender
45:04Razor Ruddick stands
45:05ready, willing, and able
45:06to fight Riddick Bowe
45:07anytime, anyplace, anywhere
45:09and I even signed a letter
45:10so Marad could promote it
45:11by himself
45:12to show that I meant
45:13that Razor Ruddick
45:14is one of the best
45:15in the world
45:16he's the number one contender
45:17and he'll fight anybody

46:47the best fighter
46:48fighting today
