SportsTranscript
00:00Okay, guys, remember what I told you in the rooms.
00:05Recuerda lo que platicamos en los vestidores.
00:07Obey at all my commands.
00:09Obedece mis instrucciones en todo momento.
00:11Choquen los guantes, suelta los dos.
00:13Well, El Guarito de Tapito trained by Jose Benavidez Sr.,
00:18obviously the father of David Benavidez.
00:20Mike, how would you describe his training philosophy?
00:23What do his fighters like to do?
00:24Well, you look at David Benavidez, his son, right,
00:26who's in the main event, pressure fighter,
00:28and then, of course, Jose Benavidez Jr.,
00:30former welterweight title challenger who fought Terence Crawford,
00:33another pressure fighter,
00:34so I would expect a lot of action for as long as this last, Todd.
00:38Yeah, and you've got to believe Sisuana's goal is to slow the pace,
00:40use fundamentals, and test the unproven fighter's skills.
00:45But you can see, obviously, Barker much smaller than Dorito.
00:51If Barker knows how to fight small, he could loop the shots over the top,
00:54but you have to have a lot of foot pains and be fast on the front foot
00:58in order for a taller opponent to fall for those looping shots.
01:02Sergio, most of the young Mexican fighters get their start in Tijuana
01:07and some other small clubs there, not here on this grand stage in Riyadh.
01:11Yeah, and that's why they want to shine, to get the call to come back here again.
01:14Whether it's Riyadh or anywhere else in the world,
01:16you know, Mexicans travel. They're road warriors.
01:19Well, Mike, he wouldn't be able to fight in the United States, though, right?
01:22No, he would need a special exemption just to fight at 17 years old.
01:25He's 16 years old, so gets to fight here as a pro,
01:28and he's from Mexico City, the capital of Mexico.
01:31He's fighting at Bantamweight.
01:32Ruben Alvaro is also from Mexico City,
01:34widely considered the best Bantamweight fighter of all time.
01:37Good uppercut there from Cepito.
01:39Yeah, it is, and if you notice, he bent his knee to get down lower.
01:43He did it responsibly.
01:44Anytime you're a tall fighter like that, lead uppercuts actually are not good to throw.
01:50I don't know that I've ever seen a boxer with SpongeBob SquarePants socks.
01:54He's decked out.
01:56He's trying to beat him down like Squidward right now.
01:59I don't watch cartoons.
02:02I'm sorry.
02:03You've got two kids under the ages of 11.
02:05You don't watch cartoons?
02:06No, my kids do homework, Todd.
02:08I was going to say, but you never did.
02:13Yeah, I watched The Simpsons and Woody Wood back then.
02:16Woody Wood.
02:18Barker already tried to loop that shot one time, and Guarito didn't fall for it.
02:24I like what I'm seeing with Juan Carlos Guarito right now.
02:28He bends his knees.
02:29He makes himself a little smaller target.
02:31And he's not falling for the shorter man's antics so far.
02:36Well, it's every fighter's dream in their pro debut to get a highlight reel knockout.
02:40You can tell already that Guarito is pushing the pace and throwing heavy power shots.
02:44Yeah, any fighter that wants to make an impression and going for the knockout, it actually works against you.
02:50You know, that's why you've got to start slowing things down, working behind the jab.
02:54You know, focusing more on technique and then twisting your punches.
02:58That's where you're going to generate the power.
03:00You know, Sergio, fighters love to say that they don't look for the knockout.
03:03But Canelo Alvarez once told me that any fighter who says that is lying.
03:08I never look for the knockout.
03:10We know that.
03:12Now, you know, you got to stay within your boundaries when you're a fighter.
03:16If you're not a puncher and you know your character, then you got to stay within those means.
03:21Canelo and many other Mexicans, they have power.
03:24They have technique.
03:25Good body shots right there by Guarito.
03:27You tell Barker's trying to make himself smaller and smaller than he already is to avoid those shots.
03:32But round one is done.
03:34is done.
03:35is done.
03:37man
03:41You're right now, bro.
03:45you're right now.
03:47And now you're, right?
03:48You're right now.
03:52Man.
03:52You're right now.
03:56Man.
03:58Man.
04:00What do you do?
04:00Man?
04:01Man.
04:02Man.
04:03You understand?
04:04One step, one step, one step to the back of Lopez
04:06and then you jump to the back of Lopez.
04:08You're doing well.
04:09You need to maintain control with that jab and the right.
04:12They're going to go down because they're going to go down.
04:14Yes, but you're doing damage there.
04:16Yeah, you're hurting him there to the body.
04:18Open with a one-two or the jab to open him up.
04:22Yeah, and you need to hit the body.
04:23Left hand to the body.
04:25Keep working on that jab.
04:28Use the jab.
04:30Second tap, round two.
04:34Gorito told us yesterday when we asked him how he's feeling about his pro debut,
04:38he said, I'm not going to lie to you, I'm feeling some pressure.
04:41I'm nervous, but I'm happy.
04:43Sergio, if he wasn't feeling nervous, there'd be something wrong with him, right?
04:46No, you got to have the butterflies.
04:48You got to be a little antsy to go out there and impress,
04:51but you want to take your time.
04:53You want to use your jab, and that's what they wanted in the corner.
04:55Use your jab, slow things down, and make yourself smaller.
04:58Focus on technique.
04:59Typical Mexican fighter, Sergio, moving forward using pressure.
05:05Yeah, not seeing a lot of jabs from Gorito so far.
05:09A lot of left hooks, though.
05:10Barker finally throwing an overhand right.
05:20He just seems to want to duck down and kind of throw wide hooks to the body,
05:25does Barker Saswana.
05:26That's probably why he doesn't have a knockout in his first three professional fights.
05:30Yeah, whenever power comes behind technique.
05:33Of course, you're born with power, but if you want to improve it, you want to do it with a proper technique.
05:38Elbows tucked in.
05:39You want to generate power by twisting your whole waist, you know, footwork.
05:43And right now, when you're looping your shots like Barker are, you're losing all the power in between your elbow.
05:49Kind of like a golf swing, Todd.
05:53You know, when you open your elbows up, you lose the power.
05:55You've got to keep it tucked.
05:56Mm-hmm.
05:57See, Gorito trying to work the body, but there's just not a lot of body to work with.
06:03Barker's trunk's pulled up to almost his nipples.
06:07Good body shot right there.
06:10And I'm glad the referee didn't, didn't warn him for that beltline shot.
06:13But the referee should step in and make him lower the trunks.
06:16Now, the trunks right now are going to be protecting really the body, right?
06:19The protector.
06:20Mm-hmm.
06:21Remember those memes for Usyk in his fight against Dubois where they had his trunks up to his chin?
06:25Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!
06:28Believe it or not, a lot of fighters that come from Africa, they, they have the high waist guard.
06:33They like those trunks.
06:34They always move up.
06:36It's up for the referee to definitely stop and, and warn them.
06:39Or before the fight, say, look, these are, these are going to be clean blows right here in the navel section.
06:43Yeah, good point, Sergio.
06:44We saw it last week when Jack Hatterall knocked out Echo Essamon.
06:47He had the trunks really high.
06:48There you go.
06:49Now, a lot of fighters did, uh, do that.
06:50And some do it out of technique.
06:52Some just do it because maybe their, their, their undergar, their, their cup protector is really big.
06:57Good body shots.
07:00I love seeing this from young Mexicans or young, young fighters, period.
07:04But we know that Mexican fighters, that's the MO going down to that liver.
07:09Garito telling us he does three things every day.
07:13Eat, train, and sleep.
07:14That's it.
07:16I'm sure he crazed somewhere in between there too, Todd.
07:23And eats too, probably a little bit.
07:29But Barker doing his best to make this an ugly fight, but he is throwing a...
07:33No, he's throwing the right shots.
07:34Barker's throwing the right shots.
07:35The right looping shots.
07:36But he's not lying.
07:37He's not setting them up.
07:38Well, you can buy it right now.
07:48And why wouldn't you?
07:49At DAZONE.com slash BoxingTheRing4.
07:51We've basically got four main events coming your way.
07:54Headlined, of course, David Benavidez, Anthony Yard, Light Heavyweight Championship of the World.
07:58And you see what he thought getting hit by the end of that jab because he was anticipating the shorter fighter to miss that jab to land that uppercut.
08:25And that's what I mean, guys.
08:26It's a very dangerous punch for a taller fighter to lead with an uppercut because you leave your chin exposed.
08:32Barker didn't take advantage of that with a hook.
08:34But if he does that again, look for Barker to loop and hook his shots.
08:39If you're just joining us, Juan Perez Garrito.
08:42Ooh, good shot there.
08:43Better known as El Garrito de Pepito is making his professional debut at the age of 16 years old.
08:50Yeah.
08:51And Todd, at 16 years old, he is the youngest Mexican fighter ever to fight outside North America as a pro.
08:57And there's that loop and shot by Barker getting closer and closer to landing.
09:00Should Pepito be backing off him a little bit, Sergio, to be able to extend those arms?
09:07He seems to be content getting on the inside and throwing hooks.
09:10You know, it all depends how you like fighting really short fighters.
09:13Most boxers, I know I didn't go forward with shorter fighters.
09:18I let them fall off balance looping shots.
09:20So I would jab and get really patient and wait for them to make a mistake.
09:24Is that what Anthony Joshua was going to do to Jake Paul?
09:26You saw the height discrepancy there and that stare down.
09:28At least in the first round, he can't just go out there, you know, trying to loop the shot.
09:33Because Jake Paul, you can bet, all he's going to be doing is looping that overhand right.
09:37That was close to the back of the head, that shot.
09:41From Garrito.
09:43He keeps throwing that lead uppercut.
09:48And, you know, he's not paying for it, so he keeps throwing it.
09:53But I would like to see him set it up with a jab or a lead right hand,
09:57and then come up with the uppercuts.
10:04With short fighters, you've got to make yourself smaller, bend your knees,
10:08and then alternate to height as well.
10:10You've got to give him different looks.
10:12That way he's always guessing.
10:13Is the taller fighter going to fight my level, or is he going to fight taller?
10:17Taller.
10:18And you didn't like fighting shorter fighters.
10:19I hate it.
10:20You've got to fight tall guys, right?
10:21I hated it.
10:22I fought a guy that was six foot five one time.
10:24I loved that.
10:25But I'd rather fight that than a five foot five guy.
10:29Good.
10:30Nice footwork.
10:31Good pivot there.
10:32You don't see that from a lot of Mexican fighters.
10:35He does seem to have good footwork.
10:37You can see him always switching his feet like that.
10:42But a big moment in the life of Barker Saswania finding out of Uganda.
10:46Getting to come here to the international boxing capital of Riyadh.
10:50Bright lights worldwide on DAZN.
10:52You know, his family and friends in his home country are watching right now.
10:57And he's been game-todd.
10:58You know, he's been in there, dunked a lot of these punches, bending well.
11:04I like the fact that Warito's not really throwing hooks because if you're hooking with a shorter fighter and you miss, you're going to be vulnerable.
11:13So keep it with straight shots.
11:15And if you're careful, the uppercut.
11:18See, there you go.
11:20Nice combination.
11:21And the hooks were to the body instead of the head.
11:23And he's standing at range a little bit more now.
11:25Getting outside now.
11:26He can hit Barker, but Barker can't hit him.
11:30Well, you know, he wants to knock you out, but it's going to be very difficult against this rugged, awkward, small style of Barker Saswania.
11:47Okay, let's work hard this round.
12:02Hi, guys.
12:03You're going to start this round on the initiative very early.
12:12I want you to make sure you get up close.
12:17Don't give him too much distance.
12:21When you hit him with two or three there, that's where you hurt him.
12:25Don't just mess around by showing one single shot, by throwing one shot.
12:30Combinations, that's what we need.
12:32More combinations.
12:39That was the voice of our translator.
12:42Kieran Simpson, who has a birthday coming up in about 36 minutes, Sergio.
12:46The best in the business, is he not?
12:48Feliz cumpleaños, Kieran.
12:49And yes, you are.
12:50The best in the business happens to be a Brit.
12:52Speaks better Spanish than the Mexican here.
12:55He said he wanted to learn Spanish because his father mastered the language of French,
12:59and he wanted to one-up him with a different language.
13:01So, muy bueno.
13:03Yeah, and you hear Jose Benavidez Sr. telling Garrido to throw more combinations.
13:08Benavidez is going to be pretty busy tonight.
13:10Besides having David Benavidez in the main event, he has Julio Porras Ruiz in two fights.
13:21He loves that uppercut, doesn't he, Sergio?
13:23Yeah, he does, but now he's stepping back with it.
13:25He's throwing away a jab, stepping back for Susswana to actually step into it.
13:30So, now he's boxing smart the way a tall fighter should be fighting.
13:34They must have told him that in the corner.
13:36You know, if you're going to throw that right uppercut, let him fall into it by stepping back just a little bit,
13:41if he can assist that trap.
13:45Boy, Susswana Aukwu just does not quit moving, ticking back and forth, makes his small frame even more tiny.
13:55Yeah, guys like Barker, Susswana, you gotta just jab him.
13:59You know, you gotta, you gotta really alternate the power behind the jab and bust him up with that.
14:04Then you can surprise him with other, other shots.
14:07Keep it with twos and fused.
14:11Lead right hand, double jab right hand.
14:13Try to keep as a basic and simple as possible.
14:16They're taking a point away.
14:24What was the point taken away for, do you know?
14:26Holding.
14:27Holding a lot on the inside and Marito was getting frustrated by it.
14:30I think it was a good call by the ref.
14:32And now you could see Marito actually throwing body shots, not both sides.
14:37And of course that footwork trying to get an angle.
14:39And now you could see why Barker got point taken away.
14:43He is holding.
14:46I've never met a person with the first name Barker.
14:48Of course, Bob Barker, last name and Darren Barker.
14:51But this is Barker Susswana.
14:57Good right hand from Juan Garrito.
15:01Barker Mayfield.
15:02There you go.
15:03That's Baker Mayfield.
15:04That's Baker.
15:09All right, that was close.
15:10Just an R off.
15:11Yeah.
15:1645 seconds left to go here in the professional debut of Juan Perez.
15:23Good right hand right there.
15:25That actually hit the right side of the head where you could see that Barker's knee kind of wobbles a little bit.
15:31The equilibrium's a little off.
15:32It was that slight shot because Guarito got an angle on him.
15:35Yeah, Guarito's doing a pretty solid job of sliding around to create angles.
15:44That was a little low blow there.
15:48I don't know if it was.
15:49Those trunks are still pretty high, Sergio, no?
15:51Technically it's not if you go by the trunks.
15:53Right hand there from Barker.
15:55He got one in.
15:56Give him that.
16:01The professional debut will be a winning one for Mexico's Juan Perez Guarito.
16:08Well, ladies and gentlemen, Abdullah Mason and Sam Noakes.
16:21The countdown is on.
16:23This is one fight that either man could win their world title.
16:27If Abdullah Mason gets the job done, he will be the youngest world champion in boxing today at the young age of just 21.
16:34That's coming up on Ring 4, Night of the Champions.
16:38What a way to open up this card, man.
16:40Two undefeated fighters, young, strong, hungry, fighting for a world title.
16:45Doesn't get better than that to open things up.
16:47All four of our main card fights tonight are for world championships, Mike.
16:52Yeah, and we have Dan Rodriguez defending the best title in boxing, the Ring Magazine Championship.
16:57And I'm not just saying that because I work for the ring, but it is the title you can only lose when you lose in the ring.
17:02Not when some sanctioning body decides that you didn't pay a fee or some other thing.
17:08Yeah, by the way, how is the WBA title on the line in the light heavyweight fight between Benavidez and Arthur Yard? Explain that.
17:17Yeah, that's because the WBA likes to create secondary titles so they can get more sanctioning fees essentially.
17:22And Dimitri Bivol is the WBA champion.
17:25He had all four titles and he relinquished the WBC title earlier this year when he was ordered to fight Benavidez.
17:31Benavidez remains the Ring Magazine champion at 175.
17:34So it's Yard and Benavidez in the main event.
17:39And you know, Fedor Biev and Dimitri Bivol will be watching that one closely.
17:44All right, let's get our decision.
17:47Looks like it should be a clean sweep for Grito, but you never know.
17:52Ladies and gentlemen, after four rounds of boxing, we go to the judges' scorecards and all three judges, Dandrex, Tap the Sun, Manuel Oliver Palomo and Jerry Martinez are in agreement.
18:08They all score at the same 40 to 35 for your winner by unanimous decision.
18:15And successful in his professional boxing debut, Juan El Huarito de Tapito.
18:26Look at that smile, Sergio. Gotta love it.
18:29Well, it's always exciting to come here and do what you want to do.
18:33He didn't get the knockout, but it was still a dominating performance.
18:35His performance is a huge card for Huarito.
18:38And, you know, everyone's watching, man.
18:39All eyes are on him.
18:40And that's a hell of a, that's a hell of a victory for him.
