00:00:33and the rust was evident it's lewis the aggressor in the second round catching page with a right
00:00:40uppercut and there was more from six heads in the seventh round six heads unloading with a short
00:00:49right shot to the temple and kenny bayless had seen on up here's a very telling step when it comes to

00:01:38opening valve his opponent well kevin that's what andrew told us if he sees an opportunity in the early
00:01:43going he most definitely will attack marks on the other hand thinks that his best fight
00:01:48is to extend the fight possibly in the later rounds hopefully lewis will tire which strategy
00:01:53will the unveil a victor it's not a good idea friend not a good idea for marks to lay back and

00:04:16as an amateur
00:04:16and the winner of eight
00:04:17alabama gold glove titles
00:04:19he's getting this title shot primarily because
00:04:22lewis's cam says
00:04:23they've had a difficult time lining up opponents
00:04:25some odds makers have marks
00:04:27a 100 to 1 underdog kevin why is marks getting a title shot
00:04:31he's gonna tell us that simply because
00:04:34you know he pretty much took the fight
00:04:36number one and it
00:04:37and lewis believes he's gonna beat him very easily so
00:04:40that's why

00:06:34.
00:06:45He was fighting at a junior amateur bout, knocked his opponent down twice in the first round, once in the second.
00:06:52At that time, the opponent told the referee, I can go no longer.
00:06:56I see six heads. Classic story, Jeff.
00:07:00like they say if you see six heads always hit the one in the middle but that's where he's probably
00:07:03standing you know saying those other heads don't count but i told six i said it's six

00:10:36percent mark they are going with andrew lewis lewis talks fast he punches even faster he will make a
00:10:44beeline for larry marx who hopes that he can keep lewis at bay with his jab and extend the fight to the
00:10:50later rounds we're underway
00:10:58there's six hits go right after like i said up in your face corner
00:11:04if he'll knock on the first round he wants in the previous fight we talked about both diaz and
00:11:09ceccio big switch hitters easily going from left to right lewis does the same thing
00:11:20in the southpaw stance right now is lewis in the white trunks
00:11:24lewis has to give six heads lewis something to worry about lewis connects with an overhand right
00:11:50lewis is primarily a defensive fighter he doesn't throw a lot of punches
00:12:01but when he does he prides himself on being accurate but he's going to have to throw more
00:12:07punches tonight if he expects to upset the champion one thing he's going to utilize
00:12:11talking about him to jab early in this fight to keep lewis at bay if you don't realize that jab
00:12:15this looks right to him lewis sending marks back into the corner and now hammering away at the body
00:12:35here's the heart's gonna punch step step step step step
00:12:37march told us he was not impressed
00:12:48with lewis's victory over james page he said page was rusty over the hill and now mark's getting into it
00:12:58mimicking lewis all except for throwing punches
00:13:02it's a very emotional fight i heard in the press conference the exchange of words so there's some
00:13:06bad blood between these two i believe it's just height between the two and it's pretty much about
00:13:10ego here rather than fight
00:13:15mark's winding up two hooks oh lewis is hurt lewis got with a shot in the inside and his legs
00:13:22buckled he's in trouble mark sensing the moment lewis definitely
00:13:28he's going to knock lewis out but you've got to be cautious because lewis definitely can punch
00:13:41lewis has recovered but i tell you this is a shot in the side of the head that got that started
00:13:48unbelievable last hit in round one
00:13:58so
00:14:02you got a box
00:14:03please suck it up
00:14:06no bring james please you gotta listen to us
00:14:08you bring this shit on your stuff man you ain't gonna go with some game plan let's get the
00:14:12jack jackson lucky six do me a favor box and see your dog right okay good hat
00:14:19oh good hack
00:14:23all right
00:14:24you gotta play around you don't have to rush
00:14:29hear me
00:14:31maybe look at the punch of the sequence that caught lewis and wobbles his knees you can see the punch on the
00:14:36side of the head it seemed like his legs deceived him at that point i don't believe lewis think he was hurt
00:14:41let's go let's go
00:14:44hit the same punch and lands on the side of the head those shots knocked your equilibrium off and that's exactly what happened here and lewis's leg betrayed him
00:14:55lewis told us that his plan was to box if he saw an opening he would charge in but it seemed like from the
00:15:06outset he was hyped up definitely has a crowd on his side he wanted to make something happen and you heard in his
00:15:12corner i held to jesus and also nelson fernandez the trainer and cut man telling him look fox don't let
00:15:20let this guy get lucky with one big shot
00:15:24be very careful remember mark's got nothing to lose here he's fighting him heads
00:15:29hold on
00:15:42six head seems to have regained his stamina but
00:15:48larry mark certainly has earned a degree of respect
00:15:50Six-Heads have to be very careful from this point on.
00:15:55They realize that Mark's got a stronger point than he realized.
00:15:58Because he had to hit the kid, hit him to the side of the head, and he bumped the six-heads.
00:16:02Six-Heads lunging forward with a straight left cross.
00:16:20Lewis pressing the attack.
00:16:26It could be the pressure on the room.
00:16:28You know, he's got a lot of guys.
00:16:29And these people here, you know, he's the first captain of Guyana.
00:16:33And all that pressure that he has around him could be affecting his performance anyway.
00:16:41Remember, Larry Marks and Andrew Six-Heads Lewis have sparred before in the past.
00:16:46So Marks definitely is not afraid.
00:16:49Marks told us yesterday in our fighter meeting that the first time they sparred,
00:16:56Lewis definitely got the better of him.
00:16:58But Marks believed the second time they went six solid rounds,
00:17:01and that he got the better of Lewis.
00:17:08Let him out, Andrew. Let him out.
00:17:11So you're seeing no fear on the part of Larry Marks.
00:17:16Lewis is awkwardness. This is the amount of styles that make fights.
00:17:20Lewis' awkwardness is making him look better.
00:17:23Well, Marks' style is making Lewis look better in his fight.
00:17:26Lewis catching Marks with a left cross to the head.
00:17:31Lewis starting to have much better moments as he stays close to the Marks
00:17:38and not allowing Marks the distance that he had before early in the fight.
00:17:43Six-Heads Lewis trying to show off his speed here in the early going.
00:17:48The heat is on, and coming up shortly, there she is, the new queen of hip-hop,
00:18:01Rap Rider recording artist Eve.
00:18:03She'll be performing live here on HBO's KO Nation.
00:18:07Me,こりゃ B.
00:18:10He said he said, set everything up with a jab.
00:18:14No, no, no, no, no, wait.
00:18:15You got to step to the right side.
00:18:16Right there all day long.
00:18:18All right?
00:18:20But don't try to lay a one-pointer combination.
00:18:22I'm going to score on him.
00:18:23Go on, go on, you're not gonna get in the body.
00:18:26Here, fine.
00:18:27Body, body, body, body.
00:18:28Play up fight, okay?
00:18:30Come on.
00:18:31Breathe, come on, breathe.
00:18:32Hands up.
00:18:33You got to get your hands up, come on.
00:18:34I want the hands up.
00:18:35What time is it, baby? It's your time.
00:18:38Breathe, breathe, breathe for me.
00:18:55Lewis has already thrown 156 total punches in two rounds.
00:19:00He averaged 88 in his fight with Paige.
00:19:05Marks has caught Lewis with a straight right hand again.
00:19:09Lewis is getting caught in punches that his defensive skills are not picking up on.
00:19:21Lewis is definitely getting hit with shots that I don't think he can count on getting hit with.
00:19:24And they're effective shots, and they're very effective.
00:19:27I agree.
00:19:28There's been a lot of talk about Lewis facing Shane Mosley sometime in the fall.
00:19:34Mosley is here tonight.
00:19:35We will talk to him following the fight.
00:19:38But Marks believes he's being overlooked.
00:19:42And I believe in that.
00:19:43He's right.
00:19:44Because tonight, Lewis is walking into a lot of shots that are very unnecessary.
00:19:48He's getting hit with a good shot, and he's getting stopped.
00:19:51And one of the shots that he's going to hit with.
00:19:53And I'll tell you, Marks is not going to be a puncher.
00:19:55He's about to wonder, if you put Shane Mosley, and Shane has the same shot,
00:20:03but Lewis could be standing there.
00:20:04You heard the sound of the short left hook, and the right hook as well.
00:20:10Lewis counters with a left hook to the head of Larry Marks.
00:20:15And Marks...
00:20:17Playing Lewis' game.
00:20:24Having a little fun with the champion.
00:20:25Not a good spot, though, Kevin, for Larry Marks to be up against the ropes.
00:20:40Definitely not a good spot for him as Lewis.
00:20:42Now Lewis is definitely taking it to him.
00:20:44Body punching, head punching.
00:20:46And I'll tell you something, Lewis cannot get careless here.
00:20:49Because Marks has passed Colton, what Lewis' shots there, and Buffigan.
00:20:58I believe Lewis' defensive skills are very questionable.
00:21:02He has his chin right there in the air.
00:21:05There he goes.
00:21:05You're hitting another spin right here on the inside.
00:21:07He backs off six heads.
00:21:08He gets hit with shots, sometimes being very wide and punching wild.
00:21:13Plus, Marks doubled up with the left hand.
00:21:15He's hit with shots.
00:21:18He's hit with shots.
00:21:19Sometimes being very wide and punching wild.
00:21:22Plus, Marks doubled up with the left hand.
00:21:38Andrew Lewis wants something to happen in a hurry.
00:21:51Next Wednesday is the season finale of On the Record with Bob Costas.
00:22:03This season, Bob's guest list has included musicians such as Bruce Springsteen, movie stars George Clooney and Tom Hanks, and sports stars Mark McGuire and Kobe Bryant.
00:22:12This week, they'll have Marion Jones and Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker.
00:22:17It's live at 11 p.m. Eastern and Pacific.
00:22:20Let's take a look at the headbutt that Lewis lands.
00:22:38All right, let's bring in Julie Letterman and see how Julie has to fight through three rounds.
00:22:56You know, Marks did do well in the second round, but guys, two punches can't win a round when your opponent is out hustling you, moving you so you're going backwards the whole round, and out banging you like he's doing right here, banging the body shots.
00:23:13Incidentally, referee Steve Smoker did indicate to me he did not see any headbutt, okay?
00:23:19So a headbutt is not an issue here.
00:23:23All right, Julie clearing that up.
00:23:26Marks was able to stymie the attacker Lewis in the first round, but Julie pointing out that Lewis was just so active.
00:23:33Lewis is a very busy welterweight.
00:23:43He throws a lot of punches, a lot of that blasting gun jab he's got.
00:23:47It's like four or five jabs in a row.
00:23:50He doesn't push the corner backwards because he's not standing forward.
00:23:52There he goes.
00:23:53You know what I said?
00:23:53He does it.
00:23:54So, you know, that's a very effective punch that he has.
00:23:58Check out Marks as well.
00:23:59He will flip to the southpaws dance as he's done right now.
00:24:02All four fighters tonight showing versatility.
00:24:10The pace has slowed down dramatically in this fight.
00:24:13First round was a lot more competition.
00:24:15Now it's Lewis initiating the action.
00:24:21Lewis tripling up with the right hand.
00:24:25Marks not impressed.
00:24:27And Lewis is running around because he's very busy.
00:24:33He's more accurate with his shots.
00:24:35And you're locking that jab very effectively.
00:24:40Marks now back to the conventional stance.
00:24:44Marks, the taller or two, has a longer reach, should utilize the reach a lot more.
00:24:48Actually, Lewis has the longer reach.
00:24:50Marks is taller, but Lewis has the longer reach.
00:24:53Shoulder, shoulder, shoulder.
00:24:54He looks like this evening, huh?
00:24:55I mean, I think.
00:25:02We mentioned that Marks is sparred with Lewis.
00:25:06He's also sparred with some greats here.
00:25:08Ferdinand Whitaker, Fernando Vargas, Zav Judah.
00:25:11Well, I need to use all that experience tonight
00:25:15that he's powered with those guys
00:25:16because, you know, to be a guy like this,
00:25:19Lewis right now is popping a jab,
00:25:21and Marks is not blocking the jab at all.
00:25:23He's got to block Lewis's jab and shoot his own.
00:25:32Marks winds up with a big right hand.
00:25:41Another Walter Wade champion, Sugar Shane Mosley,
00:26:00enjoying the action, very curious to hear
00:26:02what Shane thinks about what he sees inside the ring.
00:26:05We will talk to Shane following this bout.
00:26:11Andrea Langey
00:26:12and Cynthia Bowen working it out inside the ring.
00:26:18Here we go.
00:26:30Look at some body shots that Lewis lands.
00:26:32Double left hooks, double left hooks.
00:26:35He's always double right hook,
00:26:37overhand left.
00:26:44Again, Lewis is at Southport,
00:26:46so he's doing right hooks.
00:26:47Constantly.
00:26:48He's always double right hook.
00:26:50Sorry, overhand left.
00:26:58Again, Lewis is at Southport,
00:27:00so he's doing right hooks consistently.
00:27:04Lewis has very quick hands, too,
00:27:09off of Walter Wade.
00:27:09He's done.
00:27:11They're definitely compulsive problems
00:27:12for the future of Walter Wade pretending they're in cases.
00:27:15Lewis has thrown almost 100 more punches
00:27:18than Marks,
00:27:19and he's landing more than double.
00:27:2369 of 311,
00:27:24Marks 29, 225,
00:27:27according to Copybox.
00:27:34Marks has to get locked into the event
00:27:35from going over up in a jog all along
00:27:37and shooting an overhand right
00:27:40with both lefties and righties
00:27:41when they fight.
00:27:42The punch that most lefties get hit with
00:27:43are straight right hands,
00:27:45and Marks has not picked up on that yet.
00:27:46And Marks has not picked up on that yet.
00:27:46Very curious to know what's going on
00:28:07inside the head
00:28:08of six-heads Lewis.
00:28:13Lewis wanted to come out here,
00:28:14calls himself the knockout artist.
00:28:22And put on a show
00:28:23as the crowd gets behind Lewis,
00:28:25chanting six.
00:28:41Marks doing work to the body.
00:28:44Steve Smoker doing a good job
00:28:54of letting the fighters just fight it out.
00:28:56Kevin, we've talked about this
00:29:23on many occasions when a southpaw
00:29:25hooks up with a conventional fighter.
00:29:26If you're Larry Marks
00:29:27and you're fighting out of conventional stance,
00:29:29you want your left foot outside
00:29:31of Lewis' right foot
00:29:33to be more effective, correct?
00:29:34Exactly.
00:29:36That's a stand foot.
00:29:36The problem that Marks has
00:29:38is that six-head Lewis
00:29:39is switching up lefty and righty.
00:29:41And if he has to pull the outside
00:29:43and Lewis turns righty,
00:29:43then that doesn't work.
00:29:44So what happens is that
00:29:46it's back and forth.
00:29:55Again, we're inviting you
00:29:56to jump into the KO Nation chat room.
00:29:58And yo, look who's in there right now.
00:30:00Hector Camacho Sr.
00:30:02Talk to the macho man right now.
00:30:04Yo, you better hop on it.
00:30:06It's only on KO Nation.
00:30:13One, two, three, four.
00:30:19Okay, now, once you get him used
00:30:21to that four job,
00:30:23I want you to put that four in there, okay?
00:30:25We've been...
00:30:26Come on, suck it up again, Chad.
00:30:27Come on.
00:30:28Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:30:29All right, you the man.
00:30:30Who the man here is?
00:30:31All right, I agree, man.
00:30:33Don't wait your time.
00:30:34Give him a chance.
00:30:36Give him a chance.
00:30:37Give him a chance.
00:30:56This Walter Wade championship
00:30:58bout scheduled for 12 rounds
00:31:00between Andrew's six head
00:31:01Lewis and Larry Marks
00:31:02as we enter the sixth here.
00:31:04Lewis is simply far more active.
00:31:08He's averaging 81 punches per round
00:31:11through 96 in the last round.
00:31:15I believe that most of those are jabs.
00:31:17He does throw that pitter-patter jab.
00:31:28Doesn't snap it off in time.
00:31:30Just plings it out there.
00:31:31Has some threes and fours.
00:31:33Here's the one.
00:31:33I don't think he's trying to hurt you.
00:31:35He's trying to blind you
00:31:36so he can land his overhand left.
00:31:37Von dood's patience is not working here.
00:31:51He's being too patient.
00:31:53Lewis is going ahead
00:31:53with a lot of punches
00:31:54and the judges scored them.
00:31:56Lewis doubles up with the left hand.
00:32:03He hurts the eye, Mark.
00:32:04Marks started rinsing.
00:32:06Marks is in and bothered by the eye.
00:32:13Lewis sensing the moment.
00:32:18I'm sure Lewis wants a knockout for his hometown crowd.
00:32:26Six-hands Lewis with a straight left hand.
00:32:33Marks says, bring it on.
00:32:38And Declay gets out of the corner.
00:32:40I expected six-hands to be a lot more on top of Marks than he is.
00:32:59I guess that first time punching, I hit him a lot with him.
00:33:01That's right.
00:33:01Kept him up bait for this fight.
00:33:03Changed his mind a little bit.
00:33:06He's still pressing the action, though.
00:33:08Keep in mind, Marks 21-3, 12 knockouts.
00:33:11He's only been down twice in his career,
00:33:14and it was in one fight against Andrew Murray.
00:33:16Push off, push off.
00:33:18So not an easy guy to take out.
00:33:22Not an easy guy to fight either with a stop.
00:33:24The hardest guy to knock out are a guy that won't be knocked out.
00:33:27And Marks do not want to be knocked out for him.
00:33:29The sixth round coming to a close for six has Lewis and Larry Marks.
00:33:47On May 26th, Boyd Mayweather Jr. makes his return to the ring
00:33:59after his dominating performance.
00:34:00against Diego Corrales.
00:34:12This time, he'll be defending his title against veteran contender Carlos Hernandez.
00:34:19HBO, the heart and soul of boxing.
00:34:21He's still playing.
00:34:22He's still playing.
00:34:23He's still playing.
00:34:24He's still playing.
00:34:25He's still playing.
00:34:26He's still playing.
00:34:27Keep in mind.
00:34:28Just leave.
00:34:29Keep in mind.
00:34:30Keep in mind.
00:34:31Keep in mind.
00:34:32Take a little more.
00:34:33Don't do more.
00:34:34Breathe.
00:34:35Breathe.
00:34:36Breathe.
00:34:37Breathe.
00:34:38No, I appreciate it.
00:34:39Relax.
00:34:40Hey.
00:34:41Jem, Jem, you gotta be out there.
00:34:42Come on.
00:34:43Take a straight left hand and started that flurry.
00:34:46Right, you see right there, Marks goes back and reacts to it.
00:34:48He starts covering up, but the shots that he wasn't throwing, none are getting inside,
00:34:53but I'm sure he likes them.
00:34:54There he goes.
00:34:55Leave.
00:34:56Leave.
00:34:57Leave.
00:34:58Leave.
00:34:59Leave.
00:35:00Leave.
00:35:01Leave.
00:35:02Leave.
00:35:03Leave.
00:35:04Leave.
00:35:05Leave.
00:35:06Damn!
00:35:07That's the left hand that Lewis is throwing.
00:35:08Marks upset.
00:35:09Come on, Ari, come on.
00:35:10Marks believes he was head-butted.
00:35:11I believe it was a punch ran that I saw.
00:35:17It's a straight left hand and that sequence of punches that he threw that Lewis threw.
00:35:22Started closing the eye.
00:35:23Left eye of Marks.
00:35:32Marks now turning to the aggressor here in the seventh round, trying to make something
00:35:35happen.
00:35:36And he catches six head with a right hook.
00:35:41Six head to not move his head at all.
00:35:46And that's why he can hit those shots.
00:35:49He's got to be still careful with landing his shots at his marks.
00:35:53You picked up on it, Kev.
00:35:54The left eye of Larry Marks.
00:35:55Starting to close due to swelling.
00:36:00Either from that left, that right jab that Lewis is throwing, or from that sequence of
00:36:08left hands he threw.
00:36:10He's got to move his head.
00:36:11Lewis now ripping hard shots to the body.
00:36:16Connects with a straight left to the head.
00:36:18Now he's turning into an all-out fight.
00:36:19And I'm looking to see if Marks can recover from this onslaught that Lewis is throwing.
00:36:35Larry Marks telling us yesterday that he believed his best chance would be to prolong the fight.
00:36:53Bring it into the later rounds.
00:36:54Why don't we do too late because then you're so far behind you play catch up.
00:36:58And that's what Marks has to do right now.
00:37:00His thinking though was six heads may get tired from throwing so many punches.
00:37:04Six heads fights only average three rounds.
00:37:10Well, let's say we win this round.
00:37:12He's very busy six heads.
00:37:13And the longer this fight goes, the bigger hole that Marks has thrown for himself.
00:37:21So even if we go to the 10th round right now, I got Marks behind.
00:37:27At least I got him behind, way behind.
00:37:30I got a 55-59 right now.
00:37:33Six heads not slowing down.
00:37:34So you're saying that Marks would need a knockout to win.
00:37:38He's going to need a knockout.
00:37:39Like I said, we're on the 12-round fight championship fight.
00:37:41And he's got lost.
00:37:42I've got probably six of the rounds around.
00:37:46We've got a 2-0, we're on the 12-round fight, but they're not locked.
00:37:50We're running.
00:37:51We're running.
00:37:52We're running.
00:37:53We're running.
00:37:54We're running.
00:37:55We're running.
00:37:56We're running.
00:37:57We're running.
00:37:58We're running.
00:37:59No, no, no, no.
00:38:01Yo, the heat in the room is serious.
00:38:08I feel like jumping in the ring.
00:38:09I want to remind you, coming up right after the main event,
00:38:13Rough Rider recording artist Eve is going to be here live on HBO's KO Nation.
00:38:18Call a friend and tell him, yo, you got to check it out.

00:38:47Let's go.
00:38:48Good legs and good moving.
00:38:49All right?

00:39:11As we start the eighth round, let's bring in our unofficial ringside scorer, Julie Letterman.
00:39:15Man, I still counted a shutout, 70 to 63, all for six has Lewis.
00:39:20Let me tell you, he's just out hustling about banging him.
00:39:23He backs up Larry Marks with a jab.
00:39:26I mean, he doesn't even need a straight left hand.
00:39:28Let me tell you something.
00:39:29I cannot win a fight on all defense. You need more offense to win a fight here in the offense. He's all six heads Lewis
00:39:48I believe that picking jab even though it doesn't have much on it by Lewis is creating a problem for marks
00:39:53Lewis has only fought past the seventh round one time in his career
00:40:04But the one thing that Lewis doesn't do it doesn't not move his head at the last punches
00:40:09Marks is not giving anything to worry about at this point
00:40:11But Lewis is definitely a strongest fight
00:40:14All of his knockouts six heads Lewis coming in seven rounds or less
00:40:23Marks into pop two or three jabs with a straight right hand because Lewis is not moving his head at all in this fight
00:40:33Lewis lunges forward snapping marks his head back with a lunging left cross
00:40:44Now Lewis is definitely taking initiative. He's disregarding any punch that marks is throwing right at this point
00:40:50In this face, I gotta be very effective
00:40:52I think he's a good choice
00:40:56Lewis is training or handheld to he is telling us stamina shouldn't be a problem for his fighter
00:41:11he said they trained as if they were fighting shane mosley not necessarily to take larry
00:41:17marks lightly but they wanted to get lewis in the best possible shape and they believe dangling that
00:41:23carrot in front of them that they were training for shane mosley was the way to go you certainly
00:41:28have to slow down in terms of the volume of punches here in the eighth round motivation
00:41:34being the biggest key i mean you give me a part like larry mulch you got the title
00:41:49lewis was hurt in the first round of this walterweight championship but ever since then
00:41:57he's looked strong
00:42:04you know

00:42:54In between rounds, Dr. Weinstein headed into the corner of Larry Marks to take a look at him to make sure he was okay.
00:43:12Marks has taken a lot of punishment in this fight.
00:43:14Mainly because of his left eye is swollen dramatically on the VTI and O'Brien.
00:43:44Marks still firing back here on the 9th round.
00:43:56Every time Sixth Sense gives him a chance, Marks a chance.
00:43:59Marks fired back.
00:44:01He doesn't have many chances, but he's got to take advantage of the chances that Sixth Sense gives him.
00:44:09Marks told us that primarily he's a defensive fighter, fits and chooses his spots.
00:44:13And he says when he fires off, he lands, but that technique, not very strong against a guy who throws a lot of punches.
00:44:22Oh, he's very busy, especially that jab.
00:44:24The jab that he has, it's four or five in a row.
00:44:27It's very effective, and he's landing on that eye.
00:44:30He's causing the cold even more.
00:44:36Here's one minute.
00:44:37Step, hands up. Step, step.
00:44:39Step, step.
00:44:41Step, step.
00:44:43If Marks were a busier fighter, would we see Andrew Lewis slowing down a bit?
00:44:59I believe so.
00:45:01We're much more of a competition here.
00:45:03As the fight goes on, Marks is fading.
00:45:05A lot of his accumulation of shots are slowing him down.
00:45:09He has his moments like he's having his moments here, but he's not landing any effective shots.
00:45:19Steve Smoker warning Marks by pulling down on the back of Lewis' head.
00:45:27Lewis unloads a right hand.
00:45:29Then he goes back to that flickering jab to set up work to the body.
00:45:38What it made you think that Marks is not doing, he's not backing Lewis up.
00:45:41He has leverage.
00:45:42He's a taller man.
00:45:43He has leverage punching down.
00:45:44And when Marks, with six hits going backwards, he has much more punching power.
00:45:48He has not done that yet.
00:45:49You've got another chance to jump into the KO Nation chat room.
00:46:07Right now, there's one of the godfathers of hip-hop, Eric B. of Eric B. and Rakim fame.
00:46:12He's there right now.
00:46:13Now, log on and talk to him and find out about the work he's doing on Martin Lawrence's new movie.
00:46:18Get the exclusive right now on KO Nation.
00:46:28Hey, Bob.
00:46:29Don't let me grab you.
00:46:30Don't let me grab you.
00:46:33You took a riot for calling the body.
00:46:35You were serious, right?
00:46:36But you don't want to do it.
00:46:38But what?
00:46:39You can't attack you anymore.
00:46:40Throw it out.
00:46:41You better do it now.
00:46:42Let him go.
00:46:43He's trying to get lucky.
00:46:50Hold on.
00:46:50You got your second one.
00:46:51Let's go, man.
00:47:04The ninth round.
00:47:06The best.
00:47:07From a punching perspective for Larry Marks.
00:47:09Landing 12 of 60 shots, according to copybots.
00:47:12Lewis just 16 of 80, and only 11 to 10 edge in power shots.
00:47:18But the question is, in the eyes of the judges, wasn't enough for Lewis, excuse me, Marks, to win the round.
00:47:31No, I don't believe so.
00:47:33Marks punches are not, as they call him, active aggression.
00:47:37He's punching in a patrie.
00:47:39He's not throwing enough shots.
00:47:41He's not slowing down Lewis at all.
00:47:43His shots are too infrequent.
00:47:45He's not busy enough.
00:47:46He's not busy enough.
00:47:47He's not busy enough.
00:47:48He's not busy enough.
00:47:48He's not busy enough.
00:47:49He's not busy enough.
00:47:49He's not busy enough.
00:47:50He's not busy enough.
00:47:50He's not busy enough.
00:47:51He's not busy enough.
00:47:51He's not busy enough.
00:47:52He's not busy enough.
00:47:52He's not busy enough.
00:47:53He's not busy enough.
00:47:53He's not busy enough.
00:47:54He's not busy enough.
00:47:55He's not busy enough.
00:47:55He's not busy enough.
00:47:56He's not busy enough.
00:47:56He's not busy enough.
00:47:57He's not busy enough.
00:47:58He's not busy enough.
00:47:58He's not busy enough.
00:47:59He's not busy enough.
00:48:00He's not busy enough.
00:48:01He's not busy enough.
00:48:02He's not busy enough.
00:48:03He's not busy enough.
00:48:04six heads Lewis has only been this far and about only one time in his career back in December of
00:48:1998 against Teddy Reed but in terms of volume of punches he's not slowing down
00:48:29I'm pretty much sure he does this in the gym all day he's very busy fighting he's not throwing power shots with a jab so he's not extending himself too much he's flicking the jab out there but it's not as hard of a jab as it should be it's his style his six head style that's the bottom line for him
00:48:49Kevin let's talk about the future of the two fighters first off Larry Marks he stood in 10 tough rounds so far with six heads Lewis what does it do what will it do for his career and on the flip side for Lewis a lot of people didn't believe that Marks even deserved a shot at the title
00:49:16and Marks is still standing what will it do for Lewis's career well when you're a champion you find a guy like Marks okay pretty much diminishes your aura a little bit you came with a big puncher who was supposed to get a knockout Lewis as a champion
00:49:30Marks extending him this fall makes Lewis look worse and I'm sure Shane is looking at his lips over there saying himself he's not he don't hit as hard as he does and everything else but pretty much Marks
00:49:45get some benefit out of it because maybe he'll fight Shane Mosley next Lewis in turn okay maybe Marks will fight Shane Mosley next
00:49:53not next but possibly gonna go make a cinema for all the fights ESPN wait all the days

00:50:41we're here and we're letting him off the hook every time
00:50:43he's tired Larry
00:50:45straight you're in
00:50:45you're the one in the middle of the 12 rounds
00:50:47he's got to let them get close
00:50:50telling sign possibly about stamina after each round six sets Lewis is up ready to go
00:51:13before the bell rings while Larry March seated on the stool waiting
00:51:17taking it every last second.
00:51:22Marks is 3-2 in his last five fights.
00:51:25All five went the distance.
00:51:26He's fought five times,
00:51:28ten rounds or more.
00:51:34He's showing that he can hang in there.
00:51:36Like I said, this does something for him.
00:51:38I mean, he's going to be a fighter
00:51:39who has a lot of knockouts,
00:51:41but he's still there.
00:51:44Marks catches Lewis
00:51:46with a short left hand.
00:51:48Lewis cannot go to sleep.
00:51:49He has to be very careful.
00:51:51One punch, remember him.
00:51:52That's Lewis.
00:51:53It happened to him
00:51:54and having to a lot of fighters.
00:51:55One punch is all it takes.
00:51:58Marks winding up,
00:52:00sensing he needs to make something happen.
00:52:04And he's catching Lewis
00:52:05with some good shots here,
00:52:06but Lewis is grabbing and holding on.
00:52:14Like I said,
00:52:15it's not over until it's open.
00:52:23I believe Lewis is in total control of this fight.
00:52:25I believe those shots
00:52:26have anything on him,
00:52:28anything on him left.
00:52:29Layton is fighting for it.
00:52:32Lewis plants his feet,
00:52:35unleashes three left hands.
00:52:37Don't punch.
00:52:38You need to go for the knockout
00:52:45within these next two rounds.
00:52:53This is out-punched him,
00:52:54out-maneuvered him.
00:52:56There's so many things.
00:52:57I mean,
00:52:58it's good work for Lewis,
00:52:59a good night for Lewis
00:53:00because he gets some rounds in.
00:53:07Peek down here.
00:53:08Peek down here.
00:53:09Peek with a good chance
00:53:10to take a good look
00:53:10at one of the welterweight champions.
00:53:13And that's what's good for the fans.
00:53:15How good will it be for Lewis, though?
00:53:20Peek, don't punch them.
00:53:25Not able to put Marks away.
00:53:29Well, you have these fights.
00:53:30Styles make fights.
00:53:31And remember,
00:53:32Marks style is very difficult to fight.
00:53:34And it's shown.
00:53:34The worst guys to fight
00:53:38are the guys
00:53:39who don't want to be knocked out.
00:53:40Well, nobody will be knocked out,
00:53:41but Marks is even harder.
00:53:45Take the punch, don't come.
00:53:47Come on.
00:53:48Get out of the way.
00:53:49Come on.

00:55:35than i've ever seen in the whole fight
00:55:36he's already given out one
00:55:38but since that first round
00:55:43it's definitely been on lewis

00:56:23like they supported in boxing
00:56:24he necessarily didn't win the fight
00:56:26um

00:56:28but there was too few in that treatment
00:56:30six heads

00:56:33we're halfway through round 12
00:56:35he's still trying to go for the knockout in the 12th round

00:57:27trying to look for the knockout
00:57:29like i said
00:57:29it's very hard to knock up guys

00:57:37the first world champion

00:57:44a tough opponent tonight
00:57:46and larry marks

00:58:19good luck
00:58:25Shane Mosley giving Larry Marks and Dapp, possibly telling him you hung in there.
00:58:46We'll talk to Mosley in just a bit.
00:58:55Big hug from Bob Arum to Andrew Lewis.
00:59:09A hug to a guy in these fans going, so that's expected.
00:59:15Gotta give him accolades for going the distance with six head Lewis.
00:59:25Well, it'll be very interesting to hear what Shane Mosley has to say about a possible
00:59:36confrontation with six heads Lewis.
00:59:39Not a performance like that, I believe that Shane Mosley is very confident.
00:59:44I asked him before the fight when I sat next to him, I asked Shane, I said what you think
00:59:50of the six head.
00:59:51He said, I believe I can beat him before this fight.
00:59:52I think Shane is even more confident now.
00:59:55Well, one thing we definitely know for sure, Shane Mosley is definitely much quicker than
01:00:03Larry Marks.
01:00:04And hits much harder.
01:00:07Still to come, don't forget the queen of hip hop, Eve, shall rock the house with a live
01:00:14performance.
01:00:15But first, let's send it up to ring announcer Jones with the official decision.
01:00:20Ladies and gentlemen, judges Luis Rivera and Tommy Kaczmarek scored it 119 to 109.
01:00:30Judge Oscar Perez scored it 120 to 108 for the winner.
01:00:35By unanimous decision and still welterweight champion of the world, Andrew Six-Heads Lewis.
01:00:54There you see the approval from the guy in his crowd, also from Brooklyn backing Andrew Six-Heads Lewis.
01:01:02Let's take a look at the final punch stand numbers from the Lewis Marks foul.
01:01:07He didn't knock you out.
01:01:09He didn't knock you out.
01:01:10He didn't knock you out.
01:01:11He didn't knock you out.
01:01:12He didn't have, man.
01:01:13I heard him almost every time I said.
01:01:14We told you that Lewis loves to average over 80 punches per round.
01:01:19He fired off quite a bit tonight in 12 rounds, 962, landing 241, landing three times more
01:01:26total punches than Larry Marks.
01:01:29Lewis, very effective with his jab, throwing almost 500 jabs and outlanding marks 88 to 19,
01:01:42almost a 5 to 1 margin.
01:01:47Let's talk to the champion right now, Andrew Six-Heads Lewis.
01:01:50Andrew, the first question I want to ask you is about the first round.
01:01:53It seemed like you were dazed.
01:01:55Was Larry Marks able to hurt you?
01:01:56Well, it's a good fight, you know, so I just take my time and just try to fill you out in the first round.
01:02:00So I'm about to just rush him to him, you know, me.
01:02:02So it was a good fight.
01:02:03He's a tough fight.
01:02:04I underestimate him, but, you know, he's a very good fighter.
01:02:07And I congratulate him for 12 rounds with Andrew Six-Heads.
01:02:10Here it is right here, Andrew.
01:02:12Did he catch it right there in the shot from the Temple?
01:02:16Yeah, well, he kept me some shots, but I'm very strong, so I just come back strong and just, you know, taking my business.
01:02:23You said that you would hand us a knockout here tonight.
01:02:26You ended up going the distance.
01:02:27How would you assess your performance?
01:02:29Well, I just said that because I might knock out a lot of fighters when I fight him,
01:02:32so I might just use the word knockout, you know, but I was, from starting to say,
01:02:37I may be wrong, but to the distance, I've got to go.
01:02:39Shane Mosley in attendance.
01:02:41You've talked a lot about the fact that you possibly could be on the same card as Shane at the end of July
01:02:47and then maybe meet him in the fall.
01:02:49Your thoughts, though, with Shane Mosley here tonight?
01:02:51You still want to see him?
01:02:52Yeah, well, it's going to be a good show between Shane Mosley and the same card,
01:02:55because both of us champion and the best of the best got to fight the best of the best.
01:02:59All right, let's take a look at who our internet audience believes would win a fight between...
01:03:03Well, let's bring in Sugar Shane Mosley, who's made the trip here tonight to New York from Pomona and Shane.
01:03:09I'd like to thank my manager, Nancy Fernandez and all of my three, you know.
01:03:12All right, so quickly, our internet audience believes that Mosley would win 88 to 12.
01:03:17What do you think?
01:03:18I can get to the game, you see?
01:03:20Tell me you like the 12.
01:03:21Yeah, I like the 12, man. I got the 12, let's go, baby.
01:03:24Let's start and cook.
01:03:26Well, let's bring in Sugar Shane Mosley, who's made the trip here tonight to New York from Pomona and Shane.
01:03:32I'm going to ask you, you sat here, you watched the fight 12 rounds. What'd you think?
01:03:36I think he looked very well. He started off a little cold.
01:03:39I think because of this Brooklyn fan out here, he was trying to impress him.
01:03:44Got caught a little early, but he came through like a true champion.
01:03:48Kept punching away and stayed to his game plan, and he did a good job.
01:03:51And Lewis has said that he definitely wants to see you in the ring.
01:03:55Is this a fight that you want to see happen?
01:03:57Yeah, definitely. I definitely want to see a fight like this in the future with the six heads.
01:04:02I think it would be a great fight. He's a wonderful champion, and let's get it on.
01:04:08Give me the breakdown right here.
01:04:12Lewis, definitely a speed puncher, has a lot of power in both hands.
01:04:16You are also a speed puncher, 37-0, 34 knockouts. You have power in both hands.
01:04:22What would a fight between the two of you look like?
01:04:25Well, I'm a mover and a speedster, too, and, you know, six heads throws a lot of combinations, a lot of punches,
01:04:32so I have to make sure that I cut down on all the punches he's throwing and get out the way and use a lot of speed and power, a lot of movement.
01:04:42Is it going to happen in the fall, six heads?
01:04:44Well, I just want to fight the best of the best. I know that I'm champion, fight champion, so I like to make sure that Shane does get it on because it's the best of the best.
01:04:53Okay, well, congratulations, Andrew, on your win here tonight. Still to come, don't go anywhere.
01:05:00We're going to see a hot hip-hop performance from the lady of rap, Eve.
01:05:05But first, let's take a look at some upcoming network program reminders.
