00:00Mr. Q Casino and Bette Fred.
00:03It is sanctioned by the British Boxing Board of Control,
00:06steward in charge, Guy Williamson,
00:08along with the Commonwealth Boxing Council,
00:11Supervisor Debbie Down.
00:14Our three judges assigned all from England will be
00:18Howard Foster, Marcus McDonald, and Kevin Parker.
00:23Our referee in charge will be Mark Bates of England.
00:30Introducing first, fighting out of the blue corner,
00:35he comes with ring-wearing black trunks
00:37and weighed in officially at 233 pounds.
00:41Coming to us from Brighton, England,
00:45he brings an undefeated record with 16 wins.
00:50Nine of his 16 wins come by way of knockouts.
00:55Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
00:57Tommy Hillboy Wiltsch!
01:06And his opponent across the ring in this championship contest,
01:11fighting out of the red corner,
01:13he comes to the ring wearing blackwood gold
01:15and weighed in officially at 236.7 pounds.
01:19Hailing from Woolworth, London, England,
01:24he has a professional record of 18 wins.
01:28Just one defeat, 14 of his 18 wins come by way of knockouts.
01:35Ladies and gentlemen, here is the former British champion
01:39and former world title challenger,
01:42Richard, the Midnight Train,
01:47Riyakpour!
01:49Riyakpour!
01:51Riyakpour!
01:51Riyakpour!
01:51Riyakpour!
01:52Riyakpour!
01:52Riyakpour!
01:52Riyakpour!
01:53Riyakpour!
01:53Okay, gentlemen, listen,
01:54I've spoken to you both in the dressing rooms,
01:55so you know what's expected.
01:57Keep your punches up,
01:58obey my command to set yourselves up
01:59at all times.
02:00Keep this on clean, lads, touch gloves.
02:02The Midnight Train will be getting the last bus home from Tottenham.
02:08One of the lines of the week
02:09from the unbeaten, outspoken Tommy Welsh
02:13who feels he'll have the fuel and desire
02:16to take out the former tip-top cruiserweight Richard Riyakpour
02:21into the glamorous heavyweight brigade.
02:24They both go.
02:25So many opportunities ahead
02:27for the pair of them
02:29who promise an explosive fight
02:32that will not go the distance.
02:35Welsh undefeated, but untested, Darren.
02:38Do you know what, though?
02:38I like this approach.
02:39Let Richard Riyakpour know
02:41you're in my division.
02:43And he's bending low.
02:44So he's bending to the right
02:45a little bit like Conor Benders, actually.
02:46And when he throws that jab,
02:47he throws it up,
02:48but it's hard to throw
02:49to defend the jab
02:50when it's thrown upwards.
02:50And certainly,
02:51you take away that right hand of Riyakpour.
02:53He's a very close friend of Conor Ben's.
02:56Of course, coming from U-Bank territory
02:58and Brighton, he knows Chris well.
03:00Good body shot from Welsh there early.
03:03But, yeah, they're big pals,
03:05him and Conor.
03:06And Conor was cheering him on
03:09when Welsh got a good stoppage victory
03:11at the York Hall last year.
03:13But he's been fighting all around,
03:15whereas Riyakpour,
03:16we've seen on the mainstream,
03:18the main stage.
03:19I can see an opening already
03:21for Riyakpour for his left hook.
03:23This whole bit lazy
03:25with the position
03:26of that right hand.
03:27He's looking to parry
03:28the jab of Riyakpour.
03:31Already some damage.
03:32Darren just under the left eye
03:34of Tommy Welsh.
03:38Dad Scott in the corner,
03:39such a great figure on the scene,
03:41the work he does with the WBC
03:43and the young fighters.
03:47We love the Welsh duo.
03:49How good is Tommy?
03:52He's getting a good start,
03:53but now he's allowing Riyakpour
03:55to come forward.
03:56Riyakpour hasn't taken full advantage
03:57of that yet,
03:58but that's not a good sign.
03:59You want to keep pushing Riyakpour back.
04:01Riyakpour needs a bit of momentum
04:02to get those punches flowing.
04:04So you keep pushing back
04:06and reset.
04:07I mean, you know,
04:08with the speed that you have,
04:09you're always going to put him
04:10under pressure.
04:11I mean, both are sort of
04:12traditionally small heavyweights.
04:14You can hardly say that
04:15about Riyakpour.
04:16He's six foot five
04:17and he's absolutely,
04:20impeccably built.
04:21His chest and his shoulders
04:23and his back are massive.
04:24They really are.
04:26He'll get bigger
04:27as his heavy career goes on,
04:28of course,
04:29but he's already filled in
04:30quite nicely here.
04:31But again,
04:32he hasn't done too much
04:33in this round so far,
04:34Riyakpour has been a good round here
04:35for Tommy Welsh.
04:37Yeah, Welsh has been busy.
04:40Riyakpour just patiently waiting
04:43on the right downstairs.
04:47There's nothing wrong,
04:47but that's still plenty of time.
04:49Look, it's the opening round.
04:50Ten rounder.
04:52Have a look at your
04:53opponent's strengths
04:54and weaknesses.
04:55Then you can get to work
04:56in the second, third, fourth.
04:58Get busy.
05:00Get active.
05:01He does there with a jab
05:02and a whipping right hand,
05:04Riyakpour, but...
05:05He's punching too low, Riyakpour.
05:07I mean,
05:07I know he's just saying
05:08he's stopping you and hit the chest,
05:10but he's punching too low
05:11and that's allowing
05:12just to read it
05:14that'll be too easy.
05:17Huge step up
05:18for Tommy Welsh.
05:20Just on the end
05:21of the jab there,
05:22but he's done okay
05:23in the opener here.
05:25Not too much
05:26from Riyakpour,
05:27but a long way
05:28to go
05:29in this ten rounder.
05:30If you had the choice,
05:41what prize would change your life?
05:46Yes!
05:51Woohoo!
05:52Competition's from as little as five feet per entry.
06:03What are you waiting for?
06:05You could be next
06:05to change your life
06:06without prize going.
06:06Billy Nelson,
06:18now in the corner.
06:20One, two, three.
06:21For Richard Riyakpour,
06:23it's after Martin Bercouli
06:24and much success
06:25with Scott Harrison
06:26and many others.
06:28Great trainer
06:28north of the border.
06:30He was with
06:30Angel Hernandez,
06:32Richard Riyakpour.
06:34He had that miserable night
06:36at Selhurst Park.
06:37It was all made for him,
06:38the Crystal Palace fan.
06:41And he never got going.
06:42He looked stiff
06:44and almost like
06:45he hadn't warmed up
06:46in the dressing room.
06:47He just didn't perform
06:48and Chris Willemsmith
06:49got his revenge
06:51on Riyakpour
06:52and he's been a bit quiet since.
06:55Got to get a move on.
06:5636 in January.
06:59There is some talent
07:00and there's a lot
07:01of marketability here.
07:02And a lot of power
07:03and I'm sure that will increase
07:04moving up to heavyweight.
07:05Billy Nelson wants him to be
07:07more active at the job.
07:08Oh!
07:09There it is!
07:11The right hand
07:12that lays down
07:13Tommy Welsh here
07:16in the second round.
07:17It was a heavy shot.
07:19His legs
07:20look unsteady.
07:22The power of Riyakpour.
07:23We were just teasing it.
07:2514 knockouts
07:26could become 15
07:28if he can land
07:29another right like that
07:31one to the body.
07:32And it's all proving
07:33too much here
07:34for Tommy Welsh.
07:35He did the right thing there.
07:36Welsh goes to the floor
07:36because his legs
07:37are underneath him.
07:38It was a temple shot
07:39and he turned his head away
07:41and missed the first shot
07:42and the second shot
07:42he didn't see it.
07:43I don't think he's recovered.
07:46He's fighting on instinct
07:47to be there Welsh.
07:50Riyakpour's got to touch him
07:51with the jab
07:51and just find that right hand
07:52over to the head
07:53not the body
07:54even at the top of that head.
07:57There's another right hand.
07:58Riyakpour's got to somehow
08:01survive the next minute and a half
08:03and get back to his dad
08:04in the corner.
08:05It's really powerful
08:06doesn't he Riyakpour?
08:07Shout out to Billy Nelson there.
08:09He was saying jab downstairs
08:10in the right hand.
08:11Upstairs that's exactly
08:12what he's done.
08:13You can see the damage
08:14that he's done
08:15really trying to oppose
08:16his own strength and size.
08:19Riyakpour's got to be sharp here.
08:22He can't be greedy, Riyakpour's.
08:25He can't be offering
08:26any more openings.
08:27Well he's got to navigate
08:28his way through
08:30the remainder of this round
08:31and just regroup
08:33with the Brighton team.
08:35He's a bright guy.
08:37Tommy Walsh just looking
08:38down at his dad there.
08:40He knows he was badly hurt
08:42but he's still there.
08:44He cannot be throwing
08:45a jab like that one.
08:47I still don't think
08:48he's fully recovered.
08:49Did you see the punch
08:51a little bit slower
08:51and a bit more laboured?
08:52But Riyakpour's not
08:54taking advantage of that.
08:55In this great division
08:56every punch did not blow
08:57so he hasn't got to rush the wall.
08:58Oh no!
08:59Right hand!
09:00And he smiles there.
09:02Welsh.
09:04He saw that one coming
09:05so it didn't have
09:06quite the effect
09:07but he's got up
09:08and it's 25 seconds
09:10left to survive.
09:11A torrent second
09:12for the unbeaten
09:14Tommy Welsh
09:15who could be staring down
09:17the pair of another right hand
09:19and Mark Bates
09:20has called it off.
09:22Tommy Welsh
09:23is beaten for the first time
09:24and Richard Riyakpour
09:26does get
09:27a heavyweight win
09:29on a heavyweight night
09:31for boxing
09:31and after all
09:33the back and forth
09:35the talking
09:35the preamble
09:37in the build-up
09:38there is respect
09:39between the pair.
09:40It was always a leap
09:41into the unknown
09:42for Tommy Welsh
09:44but more importantly
09:45Richard Riyakpour
09:47gets that knockout win
09:49and he's loving life
09:51and you know what
09:52he's going to be
09:53a tough night's work
09:55in this heavyweight division
09:56because of his power
09:57and he's getting the train on
09:59he don't have to get the bus
10:00I'll tell you what
10:02he's shown there
10:03that his power
10:04will remain
10:06up at heavyweight
10:07they were two
10:08Barry
10:08big right hand
10:09yeah I think
10:10because he does the basics
10:11quite well
10:12in this division
10:13it's quite all
10:14because of the power factor
10:15it's quite all
10:15you just have to master that
10:17and he does it quite well
10:17the one-two down the line
10:19and the first right hand
10:21out that hit Welsh
10:21on the temple
10:22he just Welsh
10:23made a half a mistake
10:24he turned his body away
10:25which means he never saw
10:26the shot coming
10:26hit him on the temple
10:27his leg betrayed him
10:28and he wasn't
10:29seriously hurt
10:30he just knew he had to
10:31take another knee
10:32and try and recover
10:33but the second shot there
10:34was a lovely right hand
10:35and he did well
10:36to get up there Welsh
10:37the physical specimen
10:38that is Richard Reack
10:40for he's teased
10:41this at times
10:42not sure how far
10:44he could go
10:45but
10:45he's got an arsenal
10:48he's got a good trainer
10:49in Billy Nelson
10:50and
10:51he really does look
10:53the part
10:53the part-time model
10:54the midnight trainers
10:56Darren said
10:56I think he might be
10:57getting a limo home
10:58but Tommy Welsh
10:59he's really a cruiserweight
11:02in between the divisions
11:03or a bridge of weight
11:04so it was always
11:05a step up
11:07he's fought at a much
11:08higher level
11:09Reackpour
11:10and Tommy Welsh
11:11is down twice
11:13and stopped here
11:14I do think Welsh
11:15is a naturally
11:16smaller guy
11:17he's not a natural
11:18heavyweight
11:19but he has been
11:19campaigning this week
