00:00Major fight of the night.
00:02Right, I spoke you both in the dressing room.
00:04Not what I expect.
00:05I had a lot of professors at all times,
00:06obeying my instructions on what you're ready.
00:07Any questions?
00:08Let's go to work.
00:09Many inside the trade feel this excellent domestic dust-up
00:14could be the pick of this November night.
00:19Londoners Sam Gilley, Ishmael Davis from Leeds.
00:2332 victories between the plenty of experienced
00:27tons of fighting heart and aggression as they meet
00:32and an enticing one for the British and Commonwealth
00:36super welterweight titles.
00:38The white and blue of the man from Walthamstow,
00:42the Tottenham fanatic, Sam Gilley,
00:46in with Ishmael Davis, the Black Panther who we know so well
00:50and saw so recently, didn't we, in Belfast.
00:53Yeah, we did.
00:55Very good fighter, as I say.
00:57A worse in progress, but this, as you pointed out,
01:00on the ring walk, he needs to win.
01:02We match hard, but you can't keep losing at this level.
01:06It's about time that you win and you can get your career on track.
01:10And I think straight away, the offset,
01:12the first battle is going to be the lead hand, the jab.
01:15Who can get the ribbon with that shot?
01:16Who's going to hold the centre of the ring?
01:18You're both attempting to get that centre spot.
01:25Davis will believe he needs a fast start.
01:31Gilly, he's had a difficult time, Barry, hasn't he?
01:37The patience has been tested with various pull-outs
01:42and waiting to fight for this Lonsdale belt.
01:46Yeah, you know, I mean, he's been successful and he's been boxing really well.
01:51You know, since that defeat, you know, being bald,
01:53he's come back and he's had a good run of success.
01:55Should be the British champion because when he boxed Lewis Green,
01:58the title was vacant and he was the English champion,
02:00so that should have been sanctioned.
02:01He wasn't, but still, it's the opportunity to get that belt
02:04along with the Commonwealth title.
02:06And, yeah, you know, he's an aggressive fighter.
02:09Even if he's tall, you think he'd be an alternate boxer.
02:11He does like to put the pressure on.
02:13He just had to get involved in a war.
02:14And, no, that works for him.
02:16But also, that's where Ishmael Davis just needs to be a bit patient.
02:19I mean, I'll show too short about fast that.
02:21He's just got to make, try and make Gilly, you know, make a mistake
02:24and then make sure he's fast enough to counter up that.
02:26Yeah, because he grew into that Jarko fight, didn't he?
02:29Ishmael Davis, when he started to get to work the second half of the fight.
02:34That's why I think he needs a quick start and I think he knows it.
02:37I think the perception, you know, that the taller fight,
02:39no, the taller fight is the boxing and the short fight needs to be more aggressive.
02:43And, I mean, that would be the look of it.
02:46I don't think that's the case here.
02:47I think, you know, I think it's...
02:49Ishmael just inviting Gilly to come on,
02:51just hoping he steps over that front foot like he's doing here.
02:54Nick the space with the front foot,
02:55they'll always keep the weight on that back foot
02:57to make it a harder tag at the head.
02:59Just keeping Gilly at bay, switch hitting.
03:03Davis early, orthodox to Southport.
03:09Just out of range, the pair of them,
03:12as they try and settle down.
03:14It's a body shot from Gilly, not much in this opener.
03:19It's better from Davis.
03:21A decent defence, as the round hits down.
03:35The new Ranger plug-in hybrid is powerful,
03:38so you'll be good when tarmac turns to dirt track,
03:41turns to a bone-chilling ice rally.
03:43With more torque than ever before,
03:44so you can clear roads, clear fields,
03:46and clear secret hangars of phenomena that do not officially exist.
03:50Pro power on board to charge a grinder, your saw,
03:53and your everyday planet-saving laser cannon.
03:55You never know, right?
03:56The new Ranger plug-in hybrid.
03:57More power, just in case.
03:59What a stadium it is, Tottenham Hotspur here in North London.
04:05We've seen AJ Usyk, we've seen Tyson Fury and Derek Chisora.
04:10And of course in April, it was the turn of Eubank Jr. and Ben.
04:15And back we come.
04:16Remember their fathers fought in Birmingham three years later at Old Trafford.
04:18There was some talk of maybe Old Trafford for this rematch,
04:19but it's landed here.
04:20And I think Tottenham just to facilitate a new match.
04:21What a stadium it is.
04:22What a stadium it is.
04:23Tottenham Hotspur here in North London.
04:24We've seen AJ Usyk, we've seen Tyson Fury and Derek Chisora.
04:26And of course in April, it was the turn of Eubank Jr. and Ben.
04:31And back we come.
04:33Remember their fathers fought in Birmingham three years later at Old Trafford.
04:38There was some talk of maybe Old Trafford for this rematch,
04:41but it's landed here.
04:42And I think Tottenham just to facilitate a new match,
04:44and just the facilities and the stadium is magnificent.
04:48Yeah, asking the wrong man, Adam.
04:52I'm not a Spurs fan either.
04:53But you've got to appreciate this place.
04:56It's incredible.
04:57It really is.
04:58Fantastic stadium.
04:59And let's hope this fight builds into something fantastic.
05:03Both looking at each other early on, wasn't they?
05:05Not a big fan of scoring rounds even,
05:08but there wasn't a great deal in that first round, was there?
05:10So...
05:11I thought it was level.
05:12Not much happened.
05:13Magic Man is the Spurs fan here.
05:16But he was caught there by Ishmael Davis.
05:18And he admitted to me a couple of days ago,
05:20Sam Gilliland, he does get into wars.
05:23He loves the sort of taste of leather.
05:26It almost spurs him on.
05:27But Ishmael Davis is having a good patch here in the first minute of the second.
05:31Yeah, better.
05:32I've always felt with Ishmael Davis.
05:33It's a little up.
05:34Just waits a little too long at times.
05:35I like to see him just...
05:36Nothing silly, nothing clumsy.
05:37Don't get greedy.
05:38Just a bit busier.
05:39Certainly with the lead hand anyway.
05:40And this has been a better second round.
05:41I think he's boxing well here, Ishmael Davis.
05:42And I wonder with this activity and maybe the lack of it from the Gilly camp might prove a problem.
05:56I think he's been so regular, hasn't he, in big fights, Barry?
06:06Yeah.
06:07That's good.
06:08That's a nice uppercut.
06:09I think he had a good start at the round here, Gilly,
06:10but then Ishmael just the good timing of his confidence.
06:12I think he doesn't have to be that busy, but he just got to...
06:15It's a risk that when you do get the opportunity,
06:17you got to make those shots really tell.
06:19And he has good timing.
06:21Davis has just got to get it right.
06:22So he wants Gilliland to come at him.
06:25The jab from Gilliland, good reach.
06:28Yeah, I like the jab upstairs and the right to the body from Gilliland,
06:32changing the levels nicely.
06:36As he does it there, straight right to the body,
06:38but good variation of the work.
06:48Leaping in with the right hand.
06:51Red corner like that.
06:52Olly Murs sat with Lee Yeaton,
06:54part of the Ishmael Davis camp,
06:56next to Eddie Hearn,
06:57and the gold glittering jacket of Rick Reno.
07:01Yeah, from Davis just showing a little strength,
07:03but they're in close there to get that left hand free.
07:07Every opportunity he has to,
07:09he's able to show that physical presence,
07:10it's important.
07:12He's not allowed to just crawl the confidence of Gilliland to one advance.
07:21Lovely body shot again from Gilliland,
07:22I thought Davis might have taken the opening minute of this,
07:24but Sam Gilliland has come back,
07:25he's just having a little work with the corner of Ishmael Davis.
07:30No!
07:36Close round.
07:37Close, that's close round.
07:38The first half of the round we're going,
07:40but you need to do more in the second half of the round.
07:42OK?
07:44Keep breathing.
07:47Listen, don't let him pick the jab to the body.
07:50When you're fainting down,
07:51have a .45 up with your front hand,
07:52or look the back hand over.
07:53Yeah, yeah, hold.
07:55No, no, just ping him, ping him, ping him at distance.
07:57Yeah, get the face working.
07:59Keith Walton,
08:00leading the corner,
08:01Mark Bateson is on the left of York.
08:03Screams with a beard.
08:05His son Jack,
08:06good fighter.
08:07Tight team.
08:09The Yorkshire boys.
08:12They were saying it was a close round,
08:14it was a game,
08:15but maybe the Magic Man did a little bit more in the back half.
08:19Back two minutes,
08:21but Julian taking charge there,
08:23but a tight start here,
08:25as maybe we expect with the Lonsdale belt on the line,
08:30and Sam Gilley defending his Commonwealth Super Welterweight title.
08:34He weighed his bang on 11 stone at 154 pounds.
08:37Davis later at 152.9,
08:40but what shape he's in.
08:42Again, Davis.
08:43Incredible.
08:44He really is.
08:45Make that shape pay now.
08:47Get it into the fight,
08:49really get busy.
08:50He's a good fight, Barry, isn't he?
08:53Sometimes,
08:54when you see him get going.
08:55Yeah,
08:56I think he can,
08:57once he downs with a good shot,
08:58he can explode a little more,
08:59accelerate a little more with the punches,
09:01and I'll give him something,
09:02just to let him go in combination.
09:04He picks the shots well,
09:06but doesn't always come through the tag,
09:08and follow through,
09:09so even though he looks physically strong,
09:11I think he can hit a lot harder than what he does.
09:14He picked that one well,
09:15the southpaw jab.
09:16He's constantly switching and trying things out,
09:20but Gilley attempting to pin him down.
09:22It's Cat and Mouse stuff here,
09:24in the third round.
09:25That was good there from Gilley.
09:26He punched it nice and long.
09:27I think he's got to be aggressive,
09:28that's the way he fights,
09:29but if he keeps the extension on the punches,
09:31he always keeps Davis too far out the counter.
09:34Good work from Davis though.
09:36Body shot and a combination.
09:38He does fight in spurts sometimes,
09:41Ishmael Davis,
09:42and maybe that's why
09:43he doesn't always catch the eye of the judges.
09:45Gilley digging in the body shots.
09:47This one warming up.
09:48Yeah, I like this from Gilley.
09:50He's sort of said to himself,
09:52right, that's it,
09:53I'm going to be the boss now.
09:54I'm going to get the front foot,
09:55I'm going to start pushing Davis back,
09:56mounting good attacks as well.
09:58He just doesn't want to waste too much energy.
10:01Well that was low, that was.
10:03And Ishmael Davis can take time,
10:05Marcus McDonald will have a word here.
10:07with Sam Gilley.
10:09There was an immediate,
10:10ow wasn't there,
10:11and he's a tough boy Ishmael Davis.
10:14He'll want to get straight back on with it.
10:16But yeah, that was low,
10:17and there's the respect from Gilley.
10:19Good to see.
10:22He just slips inside the jab there,
10:23through the left to the body.
10:25Wasn't the body,
10:26but that was the desired location of that shot.
10:29The straight low.
10:31And it is heating up this fight.
10:33The first round.
10:34Just seeing it from Davis,
10:35literally,
10:36Fox Kong is good,
10:37but he doesn't,
10:38where's the second attack?
10:39Just needs a little bit more commitment to it.
10:41Once he downs with a good shot,
10:42he's just gonna have that belief there,
10:43you know,
10:44I should throw one or two more.
10:45It's quick rage,
10:46isn't it Barry?
10:47Yeah, but I mean,
10:48but when you've been pushed back for most of the round,
10:50then it makes it,
10:51that round a little bit harder to score.
10:53Now we know he comes on late in fights,
10:55Davis,
10:56and that's something that Gilley has to be aware of.
10:57He has to keep that reserve.
10:59Good shot.
11:00That is a good body shot with the right hand.
11:03He placed that excellently.
11:05Back comes Davis.
11:07This is the best session so far.
11:09When he threw it long there, Gilley,
11:11that's the difference.
11:12Now rather than going close with that,
11:13you can still throw an advocate from distance
11:15when you're the taller, longer fighter.
11:17I wonder what the judges are liking.
11:19Even this early on in the fight,
11:22Davis has got home with some real quality shots here,
11:26but Gilley might have done more.
11:28I think Gilley's just not working over here.
11:30But a good finish to the wrongs.
11:32From Davis for sure.
11:33That's another tight one.
11:35Don't worry about what's going on out there.
11:37I'm not interested.
11:38I don't want it.
11:39Beautiful.
11:40I just want it.
11:41I don't want it.
11:42I don't want it.
11:43I don't want it.
11:44I don't want it.
11:45I don't want it.
11:46I don't want it.
11:47I don't want it.
11:48I don't want it.
11:49I don't want it.
11:50I don't want it.
11:51Beautiful.
11:52How do you feel?
11:53I don't want it.
11:54Don't get caught up in madness.
11:55Yeah.
11:56You're a ten times better boxer than him.
11:58Yeah?
11:59Yeah.
12:00It ain't time to get involved.
12:01Okay?
12:02I want to swallow him to the next corner.
12:04So listen.
12:05You can hurt him to the body.
12:06Rod Julian just trying to calm him down a little bit.
12:09Let the fans go.
12:10Talking to corners.
12:11Looking out of the crowd.
12:12Maybe playing to the Tottenham fans.
12:16Johnson.
12:17Have a look at that shot just outside the stadium.
12:19Isn't it?
12:20Great.
12:21What?
12:22Traffic.
12:23Dyer and Hunt.
12:26Quiet.
12:27Bare-knuckle boxing.
12:28BKFC on its way.
12:30Later tonight.
12:31Like heavyweight championship.
12:33Dyer against Lorenzo Hunt.
12:35BKFC 84 from Palm Desert.
12:38Only on DAZN.
12:40You're a real party pooper.
12:41I mean that traffic.
12:42They're trying to get in.
12:44We want them in here.
12:4565,000 plus Barry Jones.
12:48And you're already here.
12:50You have your seat.
12:51I'm looking to be sat next to Barry.
12:56Into the fourth round we go.
12:58A penny for the thoughts of the judges already.
13:00Ismael Davis doing what he does best.
13:04Combinations in and out.
13:06Good work.
13:07Good start to the fourth.
13:09Sam Gilley's been told.
13:10You're much, much the better boxer in there.
13:13Use those skills.
13:14But he just wants to keep marching forward now.
13:17Doesn't he?
13:18He sort of made his mind up the field.
13:20That's a nice white uppercut.
13:21Lovely shot.
13:22Really well-timed, isn't it?
13:23Yeah, lovely shot.
13:24Really was.
13:25Where you see Gilley's toward it.
13:27It's a tough shot to land that.
13:29But found the home for it really well.
13:31And that's the problem when you're in a aggressive fight like Gilley is.
13:34I mean, such a...
13:35When you're out of this fight with such long levers.
13:37It's a gift because you can throw from range.
13:40You're really nice and long.
13:41Get loads of velocity in your shots with the speed that you can throw.
13:45But also, you get that front foot too close.
13:47You shorten that distance.
13:48You bring the other fighter right into the fudge.
13:51I think he's really learnt Ishmael Davis.
13:54From the tough defeats to Josh Kelly.
13:58I mean, last time out against Keevan Edgar.
14:01But he thought he'd won it.
14:02But he's really becoming a 12 round fighter.
14:06And this is time to become a British champion.
14:10Ishmael Davis.
14:11Sam Kelly just out of range with a jab.
14:14I think the Yorkshireman's having a good round here.
14:16And he's doing what I said in the early rounds.
14:18Let him come on to you and just use all Spanish countries.
14:21Yeah, just looking in the corner as well.
14:22Sunny Edwards and the rest of the team.
14:24I don't think they want Ishmael Davis to load up with anything.
14:27He's put the shots out of there.
14:28Big speed, not power.
14:30Good body work from Ishmael Davis.
14:32The combinations are rattling in.
14:34I wonder if his corners just told him to up the work rate and the tempo.
14:38And Sam Gilley just can't quite find his rhythm in the fourth.
14:42There was a nice right hand there.
14:44They also found Gilley in the corner just a second ago.
14:46So, you know, he's not getting steamrolled over here.
14:50He's still firing back.
14:51But he is coming second best in the exchanges in this round so far.
14:54Yeah, and a reminder to those watching as well.
14:56You can be busy on the back foot.
14:58When you've got someone like Sam Gilley who's coming forward,
15:00he's there in front of you.
15:01So, although you feel the person that is the aggressors,
15:05the one that's going to be busy,
15:07that's not always the case.
15:08So, there's opportunities here for Davis to be busy.
15:12Just a slight swelling under the left eye of Gilley.
15:16Marked up and not having a great round here.
15:20Ishmael Davis may be growing in confidence.
15:28Good tactics, I think, from Team Davis.
15:31Just making Gilley chase it up here, isn't he?
15:33Hey, have a wrist, have a wrist.
15:35The girls about to come.
15:36Walk away.
15:37The girls coming down.
15:38The girls coming down.
15:39That jab.
15:40That's better.
15:41Yes.
15:42Go to the body shot.
15:43Too little, too late from Gilley.
15:44Ishmael Davis' round.
15:45Let's see how Carl is seeing it with Jamie.
15:48Carl, how are you seeing this one through four rounds here tonight?
15:52I have given Sam Gilley the first three rounds and I give Davis that round.
15:58And I think Ishmael just frustrates me a wee bit because I know he's a very good fighter,
16:02but I just don't think he puts them together enough.
16:04When he spells where he does really good stuff and then he can be a little bit lazy.
16:09But I think it's a good fight.
16:11A lot of the rounds were close, so my scorecard could be way off.
16:15But at the minute I'm just favouring Gilley.
16:17What do you see down the stretch if it goes that far as the keys to victory for both?
16:21I think that Ishmael Davis, the boys have touched on him, he's a 12-round fighter.
16:25And he lasts the pace and he fights and he digs in.
16:28I think tactically he's just trying to be a little bit more relaxed here
16:32and not have a high output.
16:34And that may suit him down the stretch, so it's competitive.
16:37It's a competitive and a well-matched fight.
16:39Thanks, Carl. Round five coming up.
16:44Into the fifth round we go and it has been an interesting contest so far.
16:51As Cole said, some close rounds there.
16:55Oh, nice left to the potty barry from Gilley.
16:58And they've got such a count of scorecard because that's where the fight skills become different to score
17:02because you could have a 2-2, you've even got a 3-1 and then he wins the next cut of rounds.
17:06So it's a massive difference or it's a closer fight.
17:08And that's where people go crazy about scorecards, where actually one round early in the fight makes a massive difference.
17:15Mark Bates, John Latham and Howard Foster is right in front of us.
17:20And Carl was talking about the 12-round distance.
17:24Ishmael Davis has been that way three times, Sam Gilley only once.
17:30It's something to bear in mind for later.
17:34Coming off the victory, good shot from Sam Gilley to the body.
17:38There was the one that went low a couple of rounds ago, but he has found that range and when he landed it's a great shot.
17:44He threw a lovely uppercut there and he didn't land right through the guard up to the chin there for Gilley.
17:49It's a real bit of success there.
17:50So when he can fight inside, fight aggressively again, good body shot Darren.
17:54Do you know what, he drops that left to the body so well after tapping upstairs.
17:58Whether it's with the right uppercut or the left hook, he'll drop straight to the body with the left hand.
18:03So this is where Davis now, who he thinks physically strong, he might not be, who he thinks he is, should be turning Gilley.
18:09You've got to grab over him, physically turn around, but if he warns you, let him warn you.
18:13Good shot, don't let him push you back on the road where you can be less effective.
18:17Davis comes back, it's another good round here, Gilley's had plenty of success.
18:21First half, good right hand, body shots as well going in.
18:27I'm not sure if that was low there.
18:29It looked borderline to me.
18:30Yeah, yeah.
18:31What the one that did, he complained about and he doesn't this time, Ishmael Davis.
18:38Got to be careful, Sam Gilley.
18:40Right hand back from Davis.
18:42It's becoming tougher, isn't it, than that?
18:46Let your hands go, Davis.
18:48Don't have to load up, as the boys are saying, in the corner.
18:51There's a bit more activity with the shots.
18:53That was a good right hand.
18:54But Gilley now, this is where he needs that second phase of attacking.
18:58He needs a little disperse of combinations now.
19:02Well, this is the fight up close that people were predicting.
19:08Plenty of aggression.
19:11Some firepower from the pair of them.
19:13He's got nine knockouts, Sam Gilley, in his 18 victories.
19:16Ishmael Davis only six.
19:19Who's going to have the edge in power?
19:21Good work from Davis.
19:22Back comes Gilley.
19:23Good hard move on there, though, from Davis, making Gilley miss.
19:28Most fan-friendly round of the fight so far.
19:31Great body shot again from Gilley, side to side.
19:35Davis comes back, terrific fifth round.
19:38Here we go.
19:39Great.
19:41Up, up, up.
19:45Way back, way back.
19:47Way back.
19:48Better, you're hurting into the body, yeah?
19:49How do you feel?
19:50Alright.
19:51Calm down a little bit now.
19:52Yeah.
19:53Alright, listen.
19:54Let's go back to our fight.
19:55Yeah.
19:56Alright?
19:57It ain't time for that yet, yeah?
19:58Let's go back to our fight.
19:59Really, really heating up nicely now.
20:03There's a left to the body.
20:05Landed a few of those in that round.
20:09Gilley, but heating up nicely, Barry.
20:11Yeah, it is.
20:12And I think, you know what?
20:13I think he just wanted to show.
20:14I think after having a good round, I think.
20:16I think Gilley just wanted to try and serve a bit more dominance,
20:18and he pushed him back.
20:19And also, people forget with Gilley, you know,
20:21he's tall and, you know, a good-looking kid,
20:23and he boxes from range,
20:25but he likes to get involved in wars,
20:27sometimes to his detriment.
20:30Matt McCodey there.
20:31He doesn't get in too many wars,
20:32he just knocks everybody out, doesn't he?
20:33Unless he gets knocked out of himself.
20:35We know why Martin's here.
20:36Billy Nelson, of course, trains Richard Reakpour,
20:40who's coming up next.
20:41The Midnight Train.
20:43And before midnight,
20:45we're gonna have the winner of the rematch.
20:48Plenty of action ahead,
20:50including this terrific British
20:52and Commonwealth Super Welterweight fight
20:54between Sam Gilley and Ismail Davis,
20:56who had a bit of success there.
20:57The Gilley was shot after a great fifth round,
21:00and now Davis putting his foot to the pedal,
21:02and Gilley coming straight back,
21:04and in the pair of them opening up,
21:06and Davis has found some big punches,
21:08and Gilley goes,
21:09all right then, come on, let's have it.
21:11Look at these exchanges,
21:13brilliant work from both.
21:14Really letting the shots fly here.
21:17Some really good uppercuts landing.
21:19He got closer,
21:20Davis, and he lands some real solid heavy shots.
21:22He's really turned into every punch.
21:24And even though Gilley takes a good shot,
21:26they're the shots that tire you out.
21:28Gilley needs to just use that forehand
21:30to create a bit of space
21:31to get a bit more leverage on his shots.
21:33That reminded me a bit of
21:35Junior Bend 1 just for 20 seconds or so.
21:38Terrific.
21:39Can they keep it up?
21:41Ismail Davis planting his feet,
21:43digging in,
21:44but Gilley is a tough, strong man.
21:46And he's got a real work rate as well,
21:49but there's marks under the right eye, Gilley.
21:53Again, that body shot.
21:55I mean, he's just,
21:56he's just his arms is so wrong
21:57that he's just ripping him in through the middle,
21:58doing the right movement.
22:00He's just too close to the target.
22:01He's gonna lose a point next time, surely.
22:03And that eye's not good,
22:04and he just dabs at it.
22:05They're gonna have to work on that.
22:07In the red corner.
22:08And Ismail Davis smells blood.
22:10And he looks very physically strong all of a sudden.
22:14And I thought he was struggling at the end of the last round.
22:16Gilley fighting fire with fire.
22:19What a sec.
22:20Some lovely shoulder movements there from Davis.
22:23He does look strong, doesn't he, Barry?
22:26Now he's really starting to creep forward.
22:28He's rolling forward throwing the punches
22:30because he keeps that rhythm smooth.
22:32He rolls his shoulders,
22:33gives him a different angle for every shot.
22:35How physically strong is Sam Gilley feeling in there
22:39as we approach the halfway mark?
22:41Ismail Davis has landed some thunderous shots
22:44in this round.
22:45And the last three or four minutes
22:47have been terrifically entertaining.
22:49A big shot.
22:50But Gilley's been here before, by the way.
22:53So you can't write him off.
22:55He's feeling tough, right?
22:56He's coming back and won the next round.
22:58So he knows he's been here.
23:00He knows he's asked the question
23:01and he's answered it time and time again.
23:03That's why we wanted him on tonight.
23:06It's gonna be interesting to see how Gilley responds
23:09if he is pushed back.
23:10And it is.
23:11Ismail Davis now looking to creep forward.
23:13That's a lovely jab.
23:17Just a small turn in the shot.
23:19And it also gives him more weight.
23:22Lost to Danny Ball.
23:23He's been with the likes of Ellis Corey Lewis.
23:25Bringing the course.
23:26Back comes Sam Gilley in the sixth.
23:30And Ismail Davis just hitting some fresh night air.
23:34But most of these have been landing.
23:37And the eye damage is not good of Sam Gilley.
23:42Body shot as well.
23:44The fifth and sixth have been great rounds for the fans.
23:50How's Oli seeing it with Jamie?
23:53Well Oli, many said in the build up that this could well be fight of the night.
23:57As a friend, how are you seeing this at the halfway stage?
24:00I mean, it's just turning into a bit of a war now.
24:03I definitely think Ismail's up at the minute for me.
24:07As a mate, I'm like, come on Sam.
24:10The next six rounds now, the back end, he's really got to come strong now.
24:13But it keeps two in and throwing in the rounds.
24:18Sam hit him with a couple of good shots.
24:20But Ismail, he changes his stance quite a lot during the fight.
24:23So it can be quite hard, I think, for fighters to read that.
24:27So it's a really intriguing fight so far.
24:30So, yeah, obviously I'm backing Sam.
24:32I really want Sam to come through these next six rounds.
24:34And when it does get tough in there, what do you believe Sam Gilley is made of, just quickly?
24:39Well, I think exactly that.
24:40I mean, he took some shots already.
24:42I think Ismail's taking them.
24:43But Sam will just keep going.
24:45He'll go to the end.
24:46So, come on Sam.
24:47Okay, six rounds, six to go.
24:49What an honest assessment from Oli Murs, who's part of Team Gilley, of course.
24:54Come on Sam.
24:55And he believes Ismail Davis is winning the fight.
24:58It's one of those that judges could have it different ways.
25:03Davis definitely won the last and is in the ascendance.
25:07He's down on Karl's card by a couple.
25:10Are you sensing that this is Davis' part of the fight?
25:13Well, I've got it level after six.
25:15I think it sets it up beautifully this second half of the fight.
25:18Davis starting to creep forward and starting to look the boss, you have to say.
25:23Yeah, and I think my mate Oli, he's just seen the guy come forward.
25:28I think that's quite often the perception, seeing the guy come forward having more success.
25:31And I think he is having success.
25:33But it is a close fight.
25:34But certainly that last round was a big round for Davis.
25:37Because every shot he threw was solid.
25:39And even if you can take a good shot, those shots tire you.
25:42They empty your tank.
25:43Suddenly some blood from the nose for Sam Gilley.
25:46Not going to help with the breathing.
25:48He loves a scrap and he'll dig in those body shots.
25:52But on the right hand from Ismail Davis, who just may not be denied tonight.
25:57He's answered these calls recently.
26:00I mean, Josh Kelly seems a long time ago, doesn't it, at Wembley?
26:04But he's been out in Riyadh, he's been at Belfast.
26:07Now he's at another stadium show.
26:10And he might just think, the man from Leeds, this is the time to strike.
26:16I've got to do this.
26:17He's getting his feet closer here, Davis, without doing too much to do that as well.
26:21He's getting his feet nice and close.
26:22And then, when Gilley's leaning back, he's closer to the line with that counter.
26:26Where, earlier on in the fight, he wasn't.
26:28He wasn't close enough, is he, Daryl?
26:30And he looks comfortable coming forward, doesn't he?
26:32Doesn't seem like it's a real effort to bring those feet forward.
26:37That was a lovely overhand right.
26:38He took that well, Gilley.
26:39He did.
26:40He showed a really good chin.
26:41You're right, Barry.
26:42Fired right back.
26:43What a granite chin.
26:46He gave a show of there, Sam Gilley.
26:50But he can't be taking too many of those.
26:53But Davis throws with fluency.
26:55Because he turns his body.
26:56I'm talking about body mechanics.
26:58Every punch he turns his body into the shot.
27:00He doesn't always load up with it when sometimes he can.
27:03But I mean, and that allows him to throw in combinations.
27:06He doesn't do that at the times.
27:07But I mean, he allows him to throw, and throw, and keep throwing,
27:09and keep nicking his space without excelling too much energy.
27:13Good defence from Ismail Davis.
27:14I think this is the best performance we've seen in a while from the Yorkshiremen.
27:19I might not have won all the rounds, but I just like the rhythm that he's fighting in.
27:23I think Sam Gilley looks just bewildered and a bit tired.
27:28Do you know what?
27:29I think Davis understands the importance here.
27:31We've all been saying it's all good showing up and fighting everybody.
27:34You've got to win.
27:36And he's seen it now.
27:38He's starting to turn the screws, isn't he?
27:40But he's not out of this, Gilley, at all.
27:41Look at these combinations.
27:42He like that one.
27:44That's just the madman in there, that is.
27:46He knows his hair even when he has to take a few shots.
27:49He's meant to be the magic man.
27:50Maybe he is the madman.
27:51He absolutely loves a tear up, doesn't he?
27:56Sam Gilley.
27:57Meanwhile, Saturday, December the 13th.
28:05It's glory for you.
28:08Glory kickboxing from Arnhem in Holland.
28:12Collision eight.
28:14The last man standing tournament comes to a crescendo.
28:18Watch it live on DAZN.
28:20Did you see the eight man tournament the other night, the heist in Haaland?
28:24It was a brilliant.
28:25Yeah, it was good.
28:26Wasn't it good?
28:27Yeah, it was really good, really good.
28:28Super middleweight tournament, GBM, it was fantastic.
28:31And Osborne was fantastic.
28:32I didn't think he was going to win it.
28:34James Ozzy Osborne won it.
28:35Unbelievable.
28:36Lee Eaton manages him.
28:37He manages about 200 people, I think.
28:39But he managed James Jazzy Osborne.
28:41And he's ringside tonight cheering on Ishmael Davis.
28:46Sam Gilley off his stool.
28:49He wants war, Barry.
28:50Do you know what?
28:51Even though he didn't have a good role,
28:52but going back to the corner after having a little bit of success there,
28:55might give you that little bit of second wind you need,
28:58because he needs to come out now and try and win this round.
29:00Just to maybe just...
29:01Just...
29:02Just...
29:03Just...
29:04Stunt a little bit of the success here that he's having.
29:06Yeah, but look, you feed off of body language and success,
29:09your own success, don't you?
29:10And yeah, when you land a couple of shots, you know that you're able to do it.
29:14And it does give you that G up that you need at times.
29:17Get on your own.
29:18Get on your own.
29:19Get on your own.
29:20Get on your own.
29:21Get on your own.
29:22Get on your own.
29:23Get on your own.
29:24Get on your own.
29:25Get on your own.
29:26Get on your own.
29:27Momentum definitely with Ishmael Davis here.
29:29I'll tell you something, Adam.
29:31Gilly versus Drew Brown in the York Hall,
29:34three years ago,
29:35was an absolute treat for any boxer fan.
29:38If it's on YouTube anyway, go and look for it.
29:40It was an unbelievable role.
29:41Fantastic for him.
29:43He's always in good fights.
29:44Oh, he really is.
29:45And that's Ishmael Davis.
29:47That's Ishmael Davis.
29:48And we forget, beat Troy Williamson, by the way.
29:51It looked like, okay, that was Troy Williamson was at the end of his career.
29:54And look at him, he's come back.
29:55Yep.
29:56And Callum Simpson, of course, in December.
29:58Great win over Mark Dickinson.
30:00Up in the North East, Ishmael Davis comes on.
30:03Sally Edwards living and breathing every moment in this blue corner.
30:07Back comes Gilly, but not quite with the boxing.
30:10With the boxing IQ that he showed earlier in the fight,
30:13it's a bit slappy and sloppy from Gilly at times.
30:18And Davis, I think he's boxing really well tonight.
30:23I think there's a cut to the left eye of Gilly as well now.
30:26His distance is all wrong here, Gilly.
30:28And you can see that because he's over too close.
30:30Or he's throwing that right hand and fighting over the front foot
30:33because he's too far away.
30:35There's marks, but it's the nose that's the problem.
30:38Yeah, the nose, blood from the nose was by the eye.
30:41There's adding some nice fudding one-twos here, Davis.
30:44Yep, that right hand and the right smile through the gun shield of Sam Gilly,
30:48who's probably loving it in there.
30:50The scrap, but he needs the victory.
30:53That's a good shot, though, from Gilly.
30:55And a body shot that followed the uppercut.
30:58Back-ups, Davis.
30:59I've seen the subtle switch in as well from David.
31:02I think it's frustrating, Gilly at times.
31:04Step away, Ishmael.
31:05But because he's always rolling his shoulders,
31:07he almost disguised it, doesn't he?
31:08Don't realise he's tennis until he's there.
31:10He's there.
31:11Another right hand from Davis.
31:13Yeah, yeah.
31:14Gilly tried to dig in with a body.
31:16We know some of them are straight low.
31:1930 seconds left in a...
31:22Another real watchable round here.
31:25Gilly coming back.
31:28But Davis just looks strong and accurate,
31:32and I think his game plan has been executed well tonight.
31:48The gun very physical, and that suits Ishmael Davis.
32:02Jack Cattrall.
32:04What an important night it is.
32:07Pharrell Gatto.
32:0932 now.
32:10He's been around a long time.
32:12It seems a long time, doesn't it?
32:14Since that very, very controversial first fight with Josh Taylor.
32:19He exacted revenge on Taylor.
32:22He's won some good fights.
32:24Lost to Arnold Barbosa Jr.
32:26beat Arlen Mew back last time.
32:28And now he's got this man in his way.
32:31It's Ekko Essermann from Nottingham with his tight-knit team.
32:36Barrington Brown and the boys all round here.
32:39That's Barrington with his shoulder gone.
32:41I think because Ekko was smashing him up in training.
32:45Do you know what? I like the fight.
32:46Essermann, the engine, doesn't stop, does he?
32:48He really grows into a fight.
32:50But once he gets going, there's no stopping him.
32:53And Cattrall will be so interesting to see what changes he's made.
32:56New team, new sacrifices.
32:58So much on the line there.
33:00Winner really goes on to big things.
33:02But into the ninth round of this contest.
33:05We go.
33:07And it's set up nicely, it really is.
33:09With the championship rounds coming up.
33:11The momentum all feels in Davis' favour at the minute.
33:14And that's the worry here for Gilly.
33:16He's got to try and change it wrong.
33:18Doing what he does best to be aggressive.
33:19But again, it's all about that judgmental distance.
33:21It's all in Davis' favour here.
33:23Even Gilly trying to be aggressive, he's able to be counted.
33:25The lovely combination there from Davis.
33:28I know we've pointed this out.
33:30He takes a good shot, doesn't he, Gilly?
33:32He really does.
33:33Digging in here, Isabel Davis.
33:35Both having success in the first minute of the ninth round.
33:40Gilly comes back in.
33:41I just caught Tony Bellews.
33:42I think he's got Gilly narrowly in front.
33:45Carl Framtonac has it level.
33:47Some other people at ringside have Davis in the lead.
33:50The three judges, all from Britain.
33:55Will they be needed?
33:59I think no one's had to be the clear shot there.
34:03There could be one there.
34:05Remind you, Fatigue.
34:07A good body shot there from Davis.
34:09He felt that Gilly.
34:10Yep, he did.
34:11And it could be Fatigue.
34:12Isabel Davis.
34:14Finding punches here.
34:16And Gilly has come to find an answer because he was hurt by a body shot.
34:21And Isabel Davis senses this could be the moment in the ninth round here.
34:27He's accelerated over the last two, three sessions, the Yorkshiremen.
34:34These are really hurtful stabbing shots to the body.
34:37Look at the hold now, Gilly.
34:39First time we've seen him do that.
34:41I'll tell you what though, he's tough Gilly because that body shot really even.
34:44He almost, he wanted to dip down but he's really gritting his teeth and trying to stay square.
34:48He's very tough, Gilly, but is he having an effect when he punches back on Davis who seems to be walking him down and controlling the ring now?
34:58Look at the confidence.
34:59Dipped to the left and throwing the right hand over the top.
35:02Never work.
35:03Worrying times for Team Gilly, I would suspect in that red corner.
35:08He's doing what he does best though, Gilly here.
35:10Even though he's a winner of the round, he's toughing it out.
35:12He cannot question his heart.
35:15He's got a tremendous heart.
35:16He's a great guy, Sam Gilly.
35:19And Ismail Davis has something about him tonight.
35:23Look at medicine, Adam.
35:26You know, walking forward.
35:28Look at him there.
35:29No care in the world.
35:30Looking to land the heavy shots.
35:31Momentum well and truly in his favour.
35:34Almost disrespect for Henry coming back from Gilly.
35:39Quality from Ismail Davis.
35:41Big round for the Yorkshire team.
35:44Gilly trying bravely to fend him off and fight back.
35:49But it's Davis in the ascendancy.
35:55Well, let's get over to Karl and Tony with Jamie.
35:59Tony, how are you seeing this one?
36:01It's catching fire there.
36:02Ismail having success to the body nine rounds down.
36:04How have you got it?
36:055-4 in Gilly's favour.
36:07I think Ish has been coming on strong.
36:09I think he's timing the fight right.
36:11But he's now got to put his foot to the floor.
36:13He's got to go for it.
36:15Fanzone have got it 73% towards Ismail Davis winning the fight at this stage, Karl.
36:19You had it 3-1 to Gilly after four.
36:21How have you got it now?
36:22I've got Davis in front by a round.
36:25I think he had a really strong round there.
36:27Gilly was hurt the body.
36:29He looked like he's a little bit tired for the last few rounds.
36:32But he's having to dig in.
36:33I think maybe the nose is a fact that it could quite possibly be broken there.
36:36And that's the fact that it's breathing.
36:38But he's going to have to dig in here.
36:39Ismail looks like he's getting on top.
36:41Okay, three rounds to go then.
36:43Who will leave the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium?
36:44British and Commonwealth Super Welterweight Champion.
36:46Let's find out.
36:47Cheers, Jamie.
36:48Interesting.
36:49Tony has Sam Gilly a round up.
36:51And Karl, who had Gilly up.
36:54And now seeing it towards Ismail Davis.
36:57I think Davis is in the lead, but it's not us.
37:00It's the three judges at ringside.
37:02Nine minutes to go.
37:04Commonwealth Champion, Sam Gilly.
37:07vacant British title.
37:09Could Ismail Davis stop the rock in losing the big fights
37:14and be taking two titles back to Leeds?
37:18Is it in the melting pot?
37:20Do you know what?
37:21He's got to throw that right uppercut again, Gilly.
37:23He's coming through the blow, Ismail Davis.
37:26He's landed that shot a couple of times, Barry, hasn't he?
37:28I don't think it's a bad technique or shot to use again.
37:31As long as he punches long, I go longer than that.
37:35Don't let him walk onto the shot.
37:36And also don't let him be able to counter it.
37:38The right hand there from Gilly.
37:39The thing with Davis, I don't think he's sort of criticising
37:42and waiting too long.
37:43He does.
37:44But he has good timing, good natural timing.
37:47And when you start to tire, you slow down a bit
37:49or you make your punches readable.
37:51And that's why he's had success in the last few rounds.
37:54A few good guys, because you'll be able to see the punches coming from Gilly,
37:58even though Gilly's still dogging it out here.
38:01Gilly trying ever to hire these two solid professionals
38:07who've earned their strikes and their chance to perform on the big stage.
38:13Good right hand again over the top of that lazy lead hand.
38:17He's got to get that higher.
38:18You're seeing already Gilly now.
38:20It's almost like he's trying to steal the rounds.
38:22He's trying to move, free shots, grab hold of Davies.
38:24It's a really good technique there from Davies, because he dips to the left.
38:27He hit you with the backhand of the glove.
38:29Actually, technically not alone.
38:30Good shot.
38:31But if he can get that turn properly, he has a knock-off shot.
38:33I think something here as well, Gilly has been mainly on the domestic scene
38:39where Ishmael Davies, even in losing to the likes of Serb,
38:43he's got that experience from fighting up at short notice in the levels,
38:48and he's talking to Gilly and then I think he feels very, very confident.
38:53He's comfortable, doesn't he?
38:55It's what you take and you learn from defeat.
38:59He'll be free on the bounce for Davies,
39:02when it really matters now on this big stage.
39:06He's starting to turn the screw isn't in.
39:08He's getting the job done, you have to say.
39:13What can Gilly find?
39:16I mean, he's still competitive in the role team.
39:18He's not getting, like, totally walked over.
39:20It's just when the shots land of Davies,
39:22there's more turkeys in the country,
39:24there's more quality in his wood.
39:26And Gilly's then having to fire in combinations.
39:29He's a little bit scrappy, that's all.
39:31And it's just not the fight he wants to be fighting, is it, Gilly?
39:34And the optics look like he's on the pressure continuously, isn't it?
39:37That's the truth.
39:38He wants to box more, doesn't he, Sam Gilly,
39:40but the jab's been taken away.
39:43The two of them have got down to it,
39:45which is great for the fans early on in the night.
39:54Lovely, beautiful.
39:56How do you feel?
39:58I'm fine.
39:59Oi.
40:00Dash, you looking amazing.
40:01Alright?
40:02If you stay not...
40:05Oh, lovely quality working for Davies.
40:10Again, just talking about that body mechanics,
40:12just turning his body to every punch,
40:14the shoulder rotation there,
40:16the elbow just turning into the shot,
40:18punching right through the target,
40:20and Gilly's showing his toughness in,
40:22not even blinking him when he took that shot,
40:24but it's a crunch and punch,
40:25and that's maybe the difference between these two at the minute,
40:27just the quality and the weight of the punch here from Davies.
40:31Two rounds, big, big breathing, come on.
40:33Come on.
40:34Your feet will get you there,
40:35not from too far out behind his jab.
40:37Come on.
40:38Don't use too much energy for the first bird.
40:40They want two big rounds,
40:42I wonder how they're seeing it in that blue corner.
40:45They're quite calm in the red corner.
40:47Maybe they feel Sam Gilly want plenty of those early rounds.
40:51Two to go.
40:53Wow.
40:54I wonder what Howard Foster in front of us, James.
40:58Mark Bates.
41:01They're thinking around the ring,
41:03because it's subjective this sport.
41:06Ismael Davies has come on very, very strong.
41:10Sam Gilly hurt by a body shot of right hand at times.
41:13He's shown real resilience.
41:16What happens now in the closing embers of this one?
41:20That was a nice left uppercut from Gilly.
41:23Picking the shots well on the back foot.
41:25Busy as well.
41:26Moving nicely.
41:27And he really wants Bagus to get to work in his corner.
41:33Who's going to get this, do you think?
41:35I've got David's ahead.
41:36Barry?
41:37Yeah, I've got David's ahead as well,
41:38but Gilly has been here before,
41:40like, I mean,
41:41when he's had to really grit his teeth and fire through.
41:44Not being behind me,
41:45but when he's had to grit his teeth and a hard fight
41:47and come on out there and victorious.
41:49And that's quite important.
41:51You know you've got it in you.
41:52Let go, let go, let go.
41:53This has been a hard night
41:54just in the last few rounds,
41:55for both,
41:56especially for Gilly.
41:58Good shot there,
41:59and doing some good work here, Gilly.
42:01Yep.
42:02Good stuff from Sam Gilly.
42:045th, 6th, 7th.
42:06It's going to get pretty hard,
42:08but the boys are training long and hard for this,
42:11and they're conditioning excellent.
42:14It's that right-handed,
42:15because you've got to stay away from that lovely from Gilly.
42:17Now on the shot again,
42:18the right uppercut.
42:19Oh, lovely uppercut from Sam Gilly,
42:21and it's now David's there with a little bit of bother
42:23in the 11th crowd.
42:25And suddenly,
42:26Gilly senses.
42:28He's a good strike.
42:29Look at the Knicks go there,
42:31and it's Mel Davis after all this good work.
42:34Could he be on the verge of real trouble?
42:37He comes back with a left hand,
42:38but Gilly,
42:39has he punched himself out?
42:41It's the shot,
42:42it's the right uppercut.
42:43He's just too low,
42:44but he comes forward.
42:46The guards are open,
42:48the elbows are widened.
42:49It's allowed Gilly,
42:50who's getting to work here.
42:52He's got to maintain that distance now, Gilly.
42:54He's got to use that forward to push Davis away.
42:56Just keep it long on three-quarter range.
42:58You can't get too close.
42:59Take the sting out of the shots.
43:01Now Davis showing a decent chin.
43:04Shaking his head.
43:05Sam Gilly with a body shot,
43:07and an uppercut,
43:08and a really good round
43:09for the man from Walthamstow,
43:11who needed it.
43:13Big, big,
43:14big breaths from Davis
43:16as he creeps forward.
43:18The timing of the uppercut there,
43:19Gilly,
43:20and almost,
43:21almost had it.
43:23David Davis,
43:24he said,
43:25wants this badly,
43:27but Sam Gilly,
43:28who don't stugger,
43:29has stuck him now,
43:31and he doesn't want this dream to fade
43:33at his beloved Tottenham,
43:35and it's been a really good round
43:37for Gilly.
43:38He's doing well here though,
43:39Davis,
43:40and recover from that,
43:41and then try and push Gilly back.
43:43But he's open to these uppercuts
43:44and right hands,
43:45and the defences have scattered,
43:47and maybe the legs are tired
43:49of Ismael Davis.
43:51Big, big 11th for Gilly.
43:54I said he beat you before,
43:56he knows what to do
43:57and he's under pressure.
44:06Now here's a question,
44:07does Gilly go for it
44:08in the 12th round
44:09and try and get his man out of there
44:11and not let it go to the cards,
44:13or does he try and box his way home?
44:15Well look, if you see here,
44:16the funny thing is,
44:17the shots are landing
44:18whilst he's on the back foot,
44:19so you've got to be intelligent,
44:20you've got to be smart,
44:21but you've got to be busy.
44:22I've got it two rounds to Davis here,
44:25so he does need a very big round there.
44:29What a shot, stunning.
44:31Right over the left hand arm,
44:33isn't it?
44:34Just across the body,
44:35it's a lovely shot.
44:36Corners, 10 seconds.
44:39A reaction from Olly Murs.
44:43Seconds out, 12th and 5th.
44:46Olly Murs carrying the Commonwealth belt in,
44:48will he be carrying that
44:49and the British title?
44:52Back home for Sam Gilley tonight.
44:56Final round of what's been
44:57a really good, entertaining
44:59British and Commonwealth Super
45:02welterweight affair.
45:03Who's got more left in the tank?
45:06Will it come back to this round?
45:08You've just got to go for it, aren't you?
45:10If you've got the energy,
45:11you've got to force the pace,
45:14whichever way you are.
45:16Narrowly missing for that right uppercut there.
45:22The other side of the room,
45:23from the previous tribe,
45:24he landed that right uppercut.
45:25They're talking to each other.
45:27And Sonny was shouting out to the referees holding.
45:37Sonny was convinced that Ishmael won out in Belfast,
45:41didn't get the decision.
45:43Will he here?
45:44Sam Gilley with a lovely uppercut.
45:48This time to the body.
45:50He's moving well again, Gilley.
45:52Can you feel that because of the two
45:55left hooks as well there from Gilley?
45:57Come on!
45:58Come on!
45:59Come on!
46:00Come on!
46:01This is where Davis needs that
46:02acceleration in his world, isn't it?
46:04That next gear, that change of level,
46:07he needs it now.
46:08But we did see some big, deep breaths
46:11in that previous round from Davis.
46:14But I've got to commend Gilley here
46:16for a number of reasons.
46:17He's showing a very good chin
46:19and he's not fighting the fight he would want to be fighting.
46:21There was a body shot from Davis that just went in
46:23and Gilly had to hold
46:25and now the Yorkshireman is keying off on the Londoner.
46:29What a fight we have here
46:31and so much more ahead live on the zone tonight.
46:36Really, really enjoyed this.
46:38They've both given it everything, haven't they?
46:40Sam Gilly and Ishmael Davis
46:43both about their successes.
46:46It swung this way and that.
46:48I think Gilly's done ever so well last couple of rounds to come back
46:52and Davis has sucked it up from that hurtful 11th.
46:58They're both going to celebrate, aren't they?
47:00Oh, good shot, you would think so, wouldn't you?
47:02Really good work again there from Gilly.
47:04A bit busy in this round here.
47:05Davis will be forcing the pace but not really letting his hands go.
47:10Has Gilly got these last couple?
47:12Will it give him the win or will Ishmael Davis have done enough
47:16in those middle rounds?
47:20Could there even be a split or a draw?
47:22Who's going to celebrate more?
47:24Which corner last 20-odd seconds?
47:27We don't want it to finish.
47:28I'll tell you what, I was just about to say, I wouldn't mind seeing this again, Adam.
47:32Good shot there from Gilly, a good bit of movement as well.
47:34I think we've got to see it again.
47:36Whatever happens.
47:37And down he goes, but no knockdown call.
47:40He slipped.
47:41He slipped.
47:41Oh, that's controversial.
47:42We've got to have a look back at that.
47:44Wow.
47:45A punch seemed to go in there, but there was also a slip in the corner.
47:49No knockdown called.
47:50So maybe it will be a 10-9 round to Gilly.
47:53And Gilly's up on the apron.
47:56Ishmael Davis is being held and armed, and we thought it might be a double celebration.
48:02Both of them feel they're going to go home with a British and Commonwealth super welterweight
48:08titles.
48:09It is down to the three judges, John Latham, Howard Foster and Mark Bates.
48:16Which way are they going, Barry?
48:18I don't know.
48:19I mean, all I know is more controversy and just what boxing needs.
48:23A little bit more controversy because, I mean, there was Warden in the ring and I do think that he did slip.
48:30Let's have a look at this.
48:31But it looked like a nice uppercut and we're going to see it now.
48:33Yeah, it looked like a nice right hand, didn't it?
48:36Obviously moisture in that corner.
48:38Oh, yeah, the fit.
48:39Oh, yeah, it takes the shot first.
48:42I mean, that's a typical one.
48:43Unless there's loads of water in that corner, he's taken the shot and then he's gone down.
48:49I mean, you...
48:50Lucky boy.
48:51Well, all I'd say is this, we get a chance to look at it again.
48:54The referee gets one chance to make that decision before we all go crazy and criticise him.
48:58But it looked like a knockdown to me.
49:00Ishmael Davis corner just asking us what we think.
49:03I'm going to look at Sonny Edwards and Mark Bateson.
49:07Sonny thinks it's by a round or two.
49:16Meanwhile, we've got all this to look forward to.
49:21Shabazz Massoud, Fina McGrail and plenty more in the glitz of Monaco.
49:28December the 6th, we're in Monte Carlo.
49:31Darren Barker's already dancing.
49:33That's one of my favourite trips of the year, that.
49:35It really is.
49:36And what a card.
49:37The best card we've had there.
49:38And there's a lot of questions being asked here from the teams, the fighters.
49:41Have I done it?
49:42Who's won it?
49:43Sonny thinks Ishmael by a round.
49:45Sonny normally would be a little bit more.
49:48I'll tell you now, I've got Davis by one.
49:51But I'm telling you now, I had the first round even.
49:53And there were so many close rounds there where they could have gone either way.
49:57Other people at ringside have got Gilly just about winning it.
50:03Thomas Treiber's got the cards.
50:05It is down to the three judges.
50:07We'd love to see it again, but who's got this one, Thomas?
50:10Ladies and gentlemen, after 12 rounds of boxing, we go to the judges' scorecards.
50:22Judge John Latham scores it 115 to 114.
50:27And both judges, Howard Foster and Mark Bates, are in agreement.
50:31They both scored the same 115 to 113.
50:35All for your winner by unanimous decision.
50:38And now both the British and Commonwealth super welterweight champion.
50:47Ishmael the Black Panther Davis.
50:55The Tottenham dream doesn't come true for Sam Gilley, but the dream does for Ishmael Davis
51:04after a torturous teenage life.
51:08He committed himself to boxing.
51:11He's had to...
