02:40quickness of hutchings light differential well you see why he has difficulty finding work he didn't

03:14kirkland lang taking a tattooing

03:18does not seem to have a clue as to how to fight back

03:30another good scoring round for fred hutchings out of stuckton california

03:38you know you you don't think that factors come into a fighter's career the fact that he's out of

03:42stockton california and not out of new jersey or new york has stopped his career you can't go out

03:48there to do a fight they don't seem to be able to get good fights and therefore you have a terrific

03:54talent like this and you can't get them to big fights if he lived around uh new jersey new york area

03:59he'd be fighting every two months and that is why there have been many who have moved to the uh

04:05jersey area the hutchings has fought on several occasions in las vegas

04:14here we are live in the dressing room of wbc heavyweight champion larry holmes getting sent to

04:25to defend for the 16th time coming up scott frank here in atlantic city new jersey and that is

04:33about a half hour away here on nbc but right now let's go to the 10th and final round

04:46it's been all fred hutchings he's in the white curtman lang in the maroon

04:58london england has taken a pasting he's been the aggressor from time to time but it's been all

05:05hutchings tremendous right hand by hutchings to open the 10th round

05:11good left hook oh good left hook lang in trouble for the first time he's buckled but he appeared to be

05:17on his way down he's holding on even look at the referee look at the way he's trying to pry him apart

05:26and we're very early tapped round lang is trying to shake himself loose as hutchings looks to finish

05:33him off good right hand by hutchings there's hutchings putting lane down oh he went down hard

05:40he hit his head on the canvas he hit his head so hard on that canvas i hope to have a patty here comes

05:46the doctor here comes the doctor immediately that was too hard too hard to hit on the head

05:52very quick pull by the referee cappuccino and the right side positions in to check it out kirkland lang

06:00went down and hit his head you can hear the impact as hutchings buckled lang early in the round and

06:08then took him out as lang trying to hold on that's one of the most dangerous type of knockouts it's not

06:14that the punch hurt you is that the back of the head hits the unpadded area and that was heard all

06:19the way across the ring here at our broadcast position and immediately the new jersey doctors

06:24were right on top of them they did not even wait to see the count dr daggett was right through the ropes

06:35it's odd that this marks the first time that new jersey uses a very heavily padded bottom rope the

06:42fourth rope is very heavily padded and was pointed out to me today by the commissioner said that's one of

06:48the things when they fall they hit that bottom strand and i've always been a big exponent of padding

06:53the outside of the ring a lot because the head falls into the outside of the ring

07:02the doctor looking at checking the reflexes dr daggett checking the reflexes of the eye

07:07the fighter's apparently talking to daggett moving his legs reflexes are being tested by a neurological hammer

07:16one doctor's working on the extremities the other doctor working uh on the head the most important

07:25thing is to keep a boxer down not to let him get up in a hurry there's no point in getting up until the

07:31doctor certifies that he's good that nothing's wrong and then let him get up by stages first to sit down

07:36at the stool which is already there and ready for him should daggett let him get up dr daggett

07:44kirkland lang talking to the physicians that's a good sign

07:47moving his glove around now just getting up gonna sit down in the stool first

07:59and marvel i must come in new jersey athletic commission the way they handled that was perfection

08:06they jumped in before the referee even had a chance to say anything and were right on the duck

08:10all right a look now at how fred hutchings entered this bout a big hit by hutchings a left hand

08:22that buckled lang this is early portion round 10. first time that lang was hurt and lang trying to

08:31regroup went for the clinch now later on seconds later on the round here's the big right hand by
