00:15First fight as a professional against a Southpaw, although all that...
00:20...sparring against Austin should serve him well here.

05:03...and as the Cincinnati Kid, introducing...
05:06...Tim...
05:07...O...
05:08...Austin!
05:13Once again, a referee in charge, Kamal Hassan, now...
05:18...to give instructions, 12 rounds of boxing scheduled.
05:23...Gentlemen, give me a good clean fight...
05:26...in case of a knockdown go to the...
05:28...the furthest neutral corner, do not come out until I tell you to do so.
05:31Protect yourself at all times. Let's go.
05:33Let's get it on.
05:35Walking around town the last couple of days...
05:38...Jim...
05:39...a number of people have come up to me...
05:41...and just said, how's the Cincinnati Kid...
05:43...going to do? How's the Cincinnati Kid going to do?
05:45Not Tim Austin...
05:46...the Cincinnati Kid.
05:48What kind of show will he put on?
05:53...and Aaron Fryer dancing in his corner before the fight.
05:57And Aaron Fryer dancing in his corner before the fight...
05:58Back up, back up.
05:58That's a good show.
05:59Aaron is still a very, very emotional and exciting guy.
06:03Lots of energy.
06:06I'll bet you in his peak as a fighter.
06:08Aaron was one of those great rope jumpers, Emmanuel.
06:10Yes, I trained him for the second fight.
06:13Alexis Aguilar, never got trained in the one that trained as hard as he trained.
06:16Really?
06:17Unbillingly.
06:18He would say it was time to go.
06:19He would still want to win.
06:23Tim Austin in the red trunks.
06:26The Cincinnati.
06:28The Cincinnati Kid defending his 118-pound title in his hometown for the first time.
06:33The first thing you notice is there is no height disparity in this.
06:36How does that...
06:38Change the equation.
06:39It's going to be a big factor, but more so than that.
06:43I think the fact that Austin is going to have to throw about four punches.
06:48For each one that Dotsy goes, it means that Austin must be in good shape.
06:53Why does he have to throw that minute?
06:54Because when you fight those guys from the African country, nearly all of them...
06:58They fight the same way.
06:58They fight with their hands held high.
06:59They move in and put a lot of pressure on you.
07:02They're very...
07:03They're very economical with their punches, and they actually wear you out.
07:05And if you are not in good condition...
07:08Going down the stretch, they can become very dangerous.
07:11Zuma Nelson, I quote...
07:13Zuma Nelson, I quote...
07:18Zuma Nelson, I quote...
07:18and Austin is going to throw way more punches.
07:20Good right-hand body shot by...
07:23Austin there against Steve Dotsy who comes into the ring with a heavily muscled...
07:28Big biceps, big chest for a 118 pounder.
07:31And he's doing something...
07:33He's working his left jab a little bit over Austin.
07:38But most outpaws were beat by throwing straight right-hands.
07:43He's one of the few that I've watched that seems to me they're going to try to win the fight primarily with his left...
07:48Well, he didn't seem to think it was a big deal he was fighting a softball...
07:53For the first time he said, I don't see any reason why I wouldn't do exactly what I've done against everybody...
07:58I don't see anybody else.
08:03And true to form, Austin throwing more punches early as Dotsy starts...
08:08It's got to be a very tough fight for Austin.
08:13That would defy the expectations of the one last...
08:18That's the biggest odds maker, Herb Lembeck, who listed Austin as a 100...
08:23one favorite in the fight.
08:24I'm thinking, Herb, look at what we've seen in the ring this year.
08:28Nobody is a 100-to-1 favorite against anybody.
08:31You don't have to tell me about it.
08:33I'm not the last guy, but I think the fact that this...
08:38physical strength that Dotsy brings to the fight in addition to...
08:43this tight defense and this left jab, which is going to be a big factor, I think, going down this...
08:48And his experience of sparring about 40 or 50 rounds...
08:53with Austin.
08:54Yes, and what I gather, speaking to Austin, Austin has a lot of...
08:58respect for him as a result of those sparring sessions.
09:03And round one, Tim Austin threw more...
09:08and landed more.
09:09That's what he's trying to hit you with.
09:11Stay a little bit here.
09:12Stay a little bit here.
09:13No, you can't do it.
09:14You can't do it.
09:15Come on, come on.
09:16Get out of there, man.
09:17Get out of there.
09:18That jab...
09:18Just step in a little bit more with your jab.
09:21He's standing straight up with his hands like this...
09:23here, it's down the side.
09:24So you got to punch down the middle and then start punching out here like you were doing.
09:28When he got his hands up, just get off.
09:29Hit his hands, hit his arms, things like that.
09:33Use your jab and the shot's down the middle.
09:35And then back out of here and back over there.
09:36His elbows are hot.
09:38Ice cream.
09:39Yeah.
09:40You start waiting.
09:41You start waiting.
09:42You wait too long.
09:43Be quick, come on.
09:44Mr Oxen is in your love.
09:46Oxen is in your love.
09:48You're pulling yourself right about here.
09:53You're pulling yourself right over here.
09:58Copy box numbers in round one.
10:03Austin threw 58 punches.
10:05Nazi threw only 28.
10:07Austin with a...
10:085-2 edge and power connects.
10:12Fortunate for us.
10:13And the most vulnerable punch for Dacia to get hit with is...
10:18He just punches through the middle because he holds his hands up.
10:21And Austin's best punch is his...
10:23Straight left hand for the middle.
10:24So that's primarily what he's going to have to gamble on winning on if he ends by winning.
10:28And you heard Aaron Snowell saying when he holds his hands up like that, go ahead and...
10:33Unload on everything you see.
10:34Hit his arms.
10:35Hit his elbows.
10:36Hit his shoulders.
10:37Hit whatever's there.
10:38Well, the thing is, after he blocks those punches, Dacia...
10:43He comes right back.
10:44And if you finish up punching at Dacia, he relaxes or comes out in a bad position.
10:48He's going to catch him after that.
10:50Austin putt.
10:51Dacia on the top of the head.
10:52Dacia...
10:53햔� branlow picks Pujols back a couple of steps, Austin go with feet.
10:56Foster Thompson senses he may have hurt Nazi.
10:58And now Stutt's back.
11:03This is.
11:08This is typical of the way you used to see Corte fight.
11:13Daniel, they let the other guy go, and then they go.
11:17Well, if you go to the jail...
11:18They don't have the great placentas we have here, and the rims...
11:23They're not even in good condition, so karma is not...
11:25Sometimes they don't even have a ring. They actually fight outside.
11:28So the karma will just hold the hazel pie and be very physical.
11:32And that's...
11:33Typical of almost all of the fighters that come,
11:35even from big time one day, he's way back.
11:37And which...
11:38This means that you have to be very much in shape,
11:40and be prepared to...
11:43Get tired at the end and still be able to hold up.
11:45Because if you get tired and not even hold up,
11:47they're gonna walk through you.
11:48There's a Ghanaian trainer named Cliff O'Dampton,
11:50who, uh, trained Corte through most...
11:53the first of his career,
11:54and was also the trainer for Dotsy when Dotsy was in Ghana.
11:57So the style...
11:58is the product of the same teaching from the same trainer.
12:01Yes, but even the fighters from Nigeria...
12:03most other countries are...
12:05Oh, no, you see it in the Olympics.
12:07Oh, no, you see it in the Olympics.
12:08All of their amateur fighters fight that way.
12:10Yes.
12:12Austin...
12:13They're doing very good body work.
12:14Come on, Dawson!
12:15I'll do the body!
12:16Come on, Dawson!
12:17I'll do the body!
12:18That's...
12:19That's...
12:20That's...
12:21He seems to be waiting too much on one...
12:23a big punch.
12:24Yes.
12:25And...
12:26He takes the risk of losing the fight.
12:27If it goes, that's it.
12:28That's the gamble that he's willing to take.
12:30And I don't think he can change it.
12:31Based on the fact that that's the way he's been trained.
12:33He's a doctor in.
12:34He's a doctor in.
12:35I...
12:36That's it.
12:37I...
12:38Oh
12:43That's his shoulders would make him a strong featherweight
12:48You just don't expect to see shoulders like that on 118 pound fighter
12:53That's right, weight's 129
12:55He's beyond featherweight tonight
12:58He's beyond featherweight
13:03He's beyond featherweight

14:18Thank you
14:20You
14:25Come on, come on!
14:30.
14:35.
14:40.
14:45Austin doing a good job blocking Dotsy's body shots with his .
14:50And then watching back .
14:53From the right and the left .
14:55of his own good accurate
14:58punching up title by Tim
15:00Austin.
15:00And right hand, right Dotsie.
15:05Yes, he can see us.
15:05Yes, he can see it.
15:10How much energy does Austin have?
15:15Can he sustain the attack?
15:20How much energy does Austin have?
15:25How much energy does Austin have?
15:30The typical style of most of the African titles, they don't grip, so even though it's a proper thing...
15:35...at this time, very few of the African fighters will grab.
15:40He was standing there, and Austin, it's target practice now!
15:43He actually should grab it, he's not gonna...
15:45...and Austin has a problem of hoping that he doesn't burn himself out.
15:50He didn't get too exhausted.
15:55I see a lot of time, a lot of time.
16:00That's his balance is so bad, he fights strictly on his heels, that he looks like he's hurt...
16:05...but he rocks back, and he's really not hurt that bad, because everything that he does, he operates from the heel...
16:10...and they're in the heel of the feet, unlike most of the American kids who operate more in the bottom of the feet...
16:14...because...
16:15is there today he's waiting for Austin
16:20over commit and make the mistake but Austin keeps moving to the side after he lands
16:25fighting a very smart fight. The trainer that works with Austin is also Aaron Smith.
16:30The trainer who worked in Massa manager upset from Frank and Ratham beat Pedro Cesar Chavez.
16:35Yep.
16:40There's a perfect example of Dotsie's bad balance, it wasn't that big a punt.
16:45Dotsie's bad balance.
16:50Dotsie's bad balance.
16:52Dotsie's bad balance.
16:54Dotsie's bad balance.
16:55There's a left hand upstairs by Dotsie.
17:00It's one effective punt to the round.
17:02And it's effective because you don't expect it to punch.
17:05It's one effective.
17:10Oh, cool.
17:11Oh, cool.
17:11Oh, cool.
17:12All right, it's good.
17:13We're all ready.
17:14We're ready.
17:15We're ready.
17:15You're in great shape, Ben.
17:20Now, you want more power to do it?
17:23That's it, Ben.
17:25You're in great shape, Ben.
17:27You're in great shape, Ben.
17:29You're in great shape, Ben.
17:30You got it, Ben?
17:33Okay, you got it, Ben.
17:35You got it, Ben.
17:37The flaw in Dotsie's style of fighting...
17:40...of waiting for the other guy to punch himself out before you punch...
17:44...is that the other...
17:45...the other guy may not stop punching you.
17:49And when you're...
17:50...slick and quick, as well as straight and true...
17:55...as Austin has been...
17:56Well, anytime you let a guy throw almost 20 punches...
18:00...to your one for just a numbers game...
18:02...if he only lasts two punches...
18:03...this game may be enough for him to score a match.
18:05...and you've got to believe.
18:07Ben Austin...
18:08That's the best you take when you let someone throw out...
18:09...with that puncher.
18:10We call it...
18:10...numbers function.
18:11Harold, how do you have it through three?
18:12I'll catch him three to nothing...
18:13...30 to 27...
18:15Timmy Austin.
18:16Tim, the only question on my mind...
18:17...is if I should have called round three...
18:19...10 to 8.
18:20...because last I gave him a bad beating in round three...
18:22...and it was very close to a 10-8 round.
18:25I went with 10-9 because Steve Dotsy...
18:27...punched back a little bit...
18:28...but certainly...
18:29...what a...
18:30...and 10-8 round.
18:31So, Tim Austin with a shout-out so far.
18:33Austin landed...
18:34...50...
18:35...71 and 76...
18:36...power shots in the third round by CompuBox Numbers.
18:39That's a devastating...
18:40...effective display...
18:41...of power bunting.
18:42How about...
18:43...10-8 and a half, though?
18:44How about...
18:45...10-8 and a half, though?
18:45...
18:49...
18:50...the bad balance of Dotsy...
18:52...is becoming more and more evident...
18:53...as the fight goes on.
18:54I'm really looking at...
18:55...the difference of their footprint.
18:56And the only thing that Austin has to look at primarily for...
19:00...is watching out for Dotsy's left hook.
19:05And the same thing...
19:06...so much to f brassанный left hook with the ship...
19:08...to stop thinking about...
19:10... alla, shall we...
19:11You're good at no...
19:12...beautiful.
19:13You're better at棒...
19:14You're better at buff...
19:15...to actually him.
19:16Big school is better at...
19:17...to...
19:18...a Doppler hizo du...
19:19stance and just fired away with three power shots accurately.
19:24Well, there's so much more fluid with his movement and his footwork, and I think he did actually hurt him.
19:29That's a very bad in addition to the bad bounce, and that's going to have a big...
19:34effect in the next couple of rounds.
19:36Provided he watches out for that left open of boxes.
19:39After round three...
19:44Tim Austin is brimming with confidence.
19:49...in the way that he sets up.
19:54You know, that's even though he's fighting a...
19:59That's a good shot, Paul.
20:00He primarily throws left-hand punches.
20:01We barely saw him throws right-hand punches.
20:04And he's making no particular adjustment to the fact that he's fighting a southpaw.
20:08No, no.
20:09So, his fight is the same fight that he's fought in the past.
20:12Mainly, Red Hawks.
20:14gesagt man, please!
20:15Die!
20:17sie, sie!
20:18Die!
20:19Sie geht!
20:20Dieke!
20:22Ja!
20:23Die
20:19If you're going to land the left hook repeatedly against the southpaw, you're going to have
20:24to set it up with other punches.
20:26You won't land it just leading with left hooks.
20:28No, no, no, not with a small title.
20:29You won't land it just leading with left hooks.
20:34You won't land it just leading with left hooks.
20:39Strike it away.
20:44Don't there!
20:48Round four on the...
20:53on the campus of Xavier University in Cincinnati.
20:56And the Cincinnati kid, Tim Austin...
20:58and the Red Trunks putting on a show.
21:03And though Tony Tubbs was also from Cincinnati
21:06and was just about...
21:08the same vintage and once held a heavyweight crown.
21:11By far the most famous...
21:13the Cincinnati fighter of recent years was Aaron Pryor,
21:16the hawk who's wearing a Cincinnati...
21:18the Cincinnati kid shirt.
21:19And hanging around Tim Austin's corner here tonight.
21:22Larry Merchant.
21:23In addition to Aaron Pryor,
21:24who is some other famous Cincinnati products?
21:26Well, Aaron Pryor...
21:28fought one of the best fights we've ever had on HBO.
21:31His first fight against...
21:33Alexis Arguello.
21:34But Ezra Charles is the great fighter from Cincinnati.
21:38There's a street named after him.
21:40He was an outstanding middleweight.
21:41Couldn't get a middleweight shot.
21:43He moved up to light heavyweight where he beat Archie Moore
21:46three times in three...
21:48three fights...
21:49stopping him once...
21:50and then took the heavyweight title from Joe Lewis.
21:53Many historians regard Ezra Charles as the greatest of all.
21:58light heavyweight.
21:59He's just...
22:00I don't think he ever lost an amateur fight.
22:02Really?
22:03I don't think he has one of the great...
22:04the greatest amateur records.
22:05I don't think he has one of the great...
22:06the greatest amateur records.
22:08I'd like to know that the referee in this fight...
22:13Hassan was one of the best amateur boxers...
22:16back in the 70s in Ohio.
22:18In fact, I had the pleasure of taking him...
22:20along with Erwin Pryor...
22:21Bill McKenzie...
22:22and Thomas Henry...
22:23and those guys on a lot of amateur trips.
22:25He was a very good bantamweight...
22:27at bat...
22:28and then he was called under the name of...
22:29Lord Allen.
22:30Really?
22:31Yes, a very good boxer.
22:33The year that Ohio won the National AAU Team Championship...
22:36in 74.
22:37He was a member...
22:38He was a member of the National AAU Team...
22:39I've heard about that team.
22:40Don't move!
22:41Well, so far, we've had excellent...
22:42He's a member of the National AAU Team...
22:43Here in Ohio, he's the Russian is a 418 chapter
22:48I just realized that
22:53There's some viewers Emanuel who are saying
22:55Why haven't I seen Tim Austin before?
22:57If this is the seventh defense
22:58Of the title and he looks this good
23:00It's amazing
23:02This is the first time Austin
23:03Has ever defended his title
23:05As a main event fighter
23:07Isn't that amazing
23:08He was upset with the fact that
23:10He'd been fighting in all of the big cards
23:12As a preliminary
23:13And as a result
23:14I understand the last fight here
23:15When they showcased the amateur kids
23:17From the Olympics
23:18He called up and told Don King
23:20He wanted to fight his first main event
23:22In his home
23:23In town
23:24And Don accommodated
23:25Along with Lubebella
23:26And HVO
23:27And here we are
23:28Yeah, and while sometimes
23:30Fighters fall prey to distraction
23:32And don't perform well
23:33In one hometown fight
23:34That certainly hasn't been
23:35The case for Tim
23:36No, it hasn't been
23:37But this is the Davis fight
23:38All the way down the stretch
23:39Come on
23:40That's just the type of a guy
23:41That you really don't like to fight
23:43And Austin said
23:45He felt betrayed to some degree
23:47In the fact
23:48That he was scheduled to fight
23:49That he was scheduled to fight
23:50Doxie one time
23:51The council of fight
23:52And
23:53And then brought Doxie in
23:54As a sparring partner
23:55For him
23:56And evidently
23:57They had some pretty good work
23:58And then Doxie challenged him
24:00For a talent fight
24:01So he feels
24:02He feels
24:03He knows that he's been
24:04Betrayed to some degree
24:05And is really
24:06Not that excited
24:07About this fight
24:08He's been
24:09He's been
24:10He's been
24:11He's been
24:12He's been
24:13Well, so far
24:15He's been
24:16He's been
24:17He's been
24:18Perfect
24:18Soil for Austin style.
24:23Soil for Austin.
24:28Good body combination by Tim Austin.
24:33Strong, resolute Steve Datsy still right there.
24:38They've taken a lot of leather from a very accurate Tim Austin.
24:43It's a good fight, a beautiful fight.
24:48Uppercut by Datsy, left hook lands.
24:53It's a good fight.
24:59Austin should stay off the ropes.
25:02He gives Datsy a chance.
25:03When he puts his back against the ropes.
25:04Yes, he does.
25:05He should kick Datsy to center the ring at all times.
25:08It's a good fight.
25:09It's a good fight.
25:13You've got to be short though.
25:16You've got to be short though.
25:18What's that stuff Steve?
25:19We've got one more parts.
25:20You left off.
25:21You left off.
25:22You left off.
25:23You left off.
25:24Hey give me a minute.
25:25Keep firing him down the body, he's going to slow him up, he's just going to keep coming.
25:30Coming and coming, you just got to keep firing and firing and firing.
25:35Coming and coming, firing, firing, firing as the trainer...
25:40That tells Austin, and here you see him, firing and firing and firing.
25:45And it's up to Dotsie, who has...
25:50As we told you earlier, was a firefighter putting that fire out.
25:55That's a good one's worth than the crowd.
26:00Inside the NFL's Chris Collins...
26:05Fox Sports' Chris Collinsworth...
26:08Local radio giant...
26:10Here in Cincinnati...
26:11Get it all up!
26:12And of course...
26:13One of the...
26:15One of the greatest players ever to have played for the Cincinnati Bengals.
26:18Turn!
26:19Up!
26:20Up!
26:21Down!
26:22Up!
26:23Into Crazy!
26:24Up!
26:25Harold Letterman has.
26:30Is it a whitewash so far in favor of Jim Austin?
26:35It's a whitewash.
26:40Once again Austin backs into the ropes.
26:45Gives Dotsy a chance.
26:46Also should keep the fight in the center of the ring
26:48and after he finishes up combinations...
26:50So you need to pivot off because the one area
26:52that Dotsy is very bad in is his down center.
26:55That's a good one.
26:56And he cannot make those pivots.
26:57But if you throw your combinations and go straight back...
27:00And he's always looking for danger being caught.
27:02Especially when you go into the ropes.
27:03Gives Dotsy connecting with the...
27:05Top of Austin's head in the corner.
27:08As Austin tires...
27:10Gives Dotsy gets more and more chances as Austin
27:12forgets to pivot away after his combinations.
27:14And backs him...
27:15And puts himself into the ropes.
27:19And there's a big right hand...
27:20By Steve Dotsy...
27:21Who suddenly in round six...
27:23Is having his best run...
27:25Gives Dotsy...
27:26Gives Dotsy...
27:27You...
27:28Gives Dotsy...
27:29You...
27:30Gives Dotsy...
27:31Take left, go right.
27:33Take left, go right.
27:34Take it down.
27:37That's what Austin needs to use more.
27:39He needs to use his jab a little bit more.
27:41Because every punch should not be a power punch.
27:44And the jab sets up.
27:46That's the power punch.
27:47Yes, it relaxes him.
27:51And if he would use his right jab more,
27:54in particular, jab him up high.
27:56He's going to try over top.
27:57Possibly could get Dotson to start moving his right hand
28:00up a little bit.
28:01He's going to open up the middle, man.
28:02They're straight left to the middle.
28:041-2 for Austin.
28:05Straight up.
28:06That was it.
28:07That was it.
28:08That was it.
28:09That was it.
28:10Using a jab.
28:11Straight to the middle.
28:124, 5, 6, go.
28:167, 8, 10, and that's a knockout victory.
28:21He didn't see it because he got preoccupied with the jab.
28:26Right, left hand goes straight to the middle.
28:27Tremendous shot.
28:28Straight to the middle.
28:29Tremendous shot.
28:30Straight to the middle.
28:31By Jemma.
28:31Tremendous shot.
28:36And a brilliant performance for his hometown fans.
28:41Richly satisfying for the Cincinnati kids.
28:44Yes.
28:46Good chance to get on, all thataroid was hitting.
28:47Big shot.
28:48Big shot.
28:49Fred Kendall.
28:50Coach K.
28:51Douglas poop, oh.
28:53Josh tackler.
28:55What an impressive performance of two people could Left Bay game,
28:59Ellie Hermanwin.
28:59Nobody can put right as the cow on the outside setup.
29:02Retako.
29:03ning got right as the gargoy of Viewers Ahabagen,
29:07Rob Eaton here.
29:07Carlos Attenham, who's right,
29:09a shady thing.
29:10I think it'semorical.
29:11You could get him.
29:13Eventually, he had to get over it.
29:15Pittsburgh.
29:15Well, he wouldn't be the first, you know.
29:17We've had fighters who...
29:20He leaned out of the ring to correct my commentary, Emmanuel.
29:23The great Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
29:25Once pointing out to me exactly how many times he turned southpaw
29:28in a fight against Goya Vargas.
29:30No, no, Jim, it's three.
29:32Here's another look, Manny.
29:35That's it.
29:37Jab, jab, he's straight left to the center.
29:40He landed two one-twos in a row.
29:43He landed two one-twos in a row.
29:45One-two.
29:46And there you go.
29:50One-two.
29:51One-two.
29:52One-two.
29:53One-two.
29:54One-two.
29:55Larry Merchant headed up to the ring to get the Cincinnati kid a chance to...
30:00celebrate his dominating hometown performance.
30:05And while the crowd is small, it is enthusiastic.
30:10They loved what they saw.
30:11They loved what they saw.
30:15Rich...
30:15Rich boxing tradition in Cincinnati gets just a little richer.
30:19Uh, great performance.
30:20Great performance tonight.
30:21Great performance.
30:22And with Carter Williams on the undercard, they'll be...
30:25More Cincinnati fight performances to Treasurer in years to come.
30:29And I'll be very happy.
30:30We've had so many great amateur boxers come out of Cincinnati, but very few of them...
30:35have had great success professionally.
30:36Manny, was this year...
30:37Manny, was this year...
30:40your first stop on your way out of West Virginia?
30:42No.
30:43We stopped in Columbus, Ohio.
30:45I don't know that the students had still except for me.
30:47You just kept headed north, huh?
30:50Kept heading off. They ended up in Detroit. The rest of them in Columbus.
30:53Let's go to Jimmy Lennon, Jr. for the particular...
30:55...on the Austin KO.
30:58Ladies and gentlemen...
31:00We have the time of two minutes, nine seconds in round number six.
31:04Our reference...
31:05Free in charge. Kamal Hassan stops the contest.
31:08The winner by way of...
31:10...technical knockout, still undefeated, and still the IBF battle...
31:15...champion of the world, the Cincinnati Kid, Tim...
31:20...Austin.
31:25Come on, let Larry in here. Come on, Larry.
31:30And here's a final CompuBox profile of the...
31:35...fight, which will further underline Tim Austin's technical brilliance in...
31:40...finding exactly the right weapons to use throughout the fight against Steve Dotsy.
31:44Only a few moments...
31:45...inventary lapses when he backed into the ropes and gave Dotsy a chance to land.
31:48But for the most part, Austin...
31:50...used his footwork and his superior technique...
31:53Here, get the belt.
31:55...to pile up a punch stat edge.
32:00CompuBox numbers, and you'll see in total punches, Austin landed 87...
32:05...more, and through 246 more.
32:10And landed at about the same rate, despite throwing so many more...
32:15...punches. In power punches, the edge will be even more pronounced...
32:18...as Austin landed on...
32:20...123 out of 200, and Dotsy landed 89...
32:25...fewer, and through 127 fewer.
32:2762% of your power punches.
32:30Usually when that happens, you're going to knock your opponent out.
32:32He did.
32:33Let's go to Larry Merton with the win.
32:35Thank you, Jim. Congratulations, Tim.
32:40...was this the way you visualize the fight going as you prepare...
32:45...for it.
32:46Yeah, I'd like it for it to happen sooner.
32:48But I'd like to thank God for the...
32:50...and the strength that he had given me...
32:52...to make it, to make it this far.
32:54But...
32:55...you knew about Dotsy.
32:56You had spired many rounds with him.
32:58Is this the way you saw it?
33:00It wasn't happening.
33:01Well, he was more stronger than I expected for him to be.
33:03And that's what you got to expect.
33:05...when he's preparing to fight for a world title...
33:07...for him to be stronger and more hungrier.
33:10You said you want people to believe in your dream.
33:15What are those dreams?
33:16Becoming the first man-awaited unification...
33:19...world title...
33:20Do you think you convinced the world...
33:25...out there tonight?
33:26I think I convinced him...
33:27...and I proved to the world...
33:28...that I am one of the...
33:29...badest...
33:30...because there's been a ways out there.
33:31Are you disappointed that there weren't more people here?
33:35...to tonight?
33:36I didn't recognize the crowd...
33:37...but the only thing I saw was just a lot of love...
33:39...you know...
33:40...coming out...
33:41...and a lot of support.
33:42Alright, let's take a look at...
33:43...the...
33:44...coop...
33:45...the grace...
33:46...the end of the fight...
33:47...and see how...
33:49...every...
33:50...everything you did came down to this.
33:52Describe it for us, Tim.
33:53I was just working the jail...
33:54...feeling real relaxed.
33:55...thoing the left hand there...
33:56...and that was the bridge shot...
33:57...we've been working on that shot...
33:58...you know...
33:59...in the training.
34:00...and then it finally landed...
34:01...and it happened.
34:04You wanted to put it on your...
34:05...show for the hometown...
34:06...you're back here...
34:07...do you feel you've accomplished...
34:09...everything you want?
34:10...and now you can go on...
34:11...with the rest of your career.
34:12Well, I'd just like to perform...
34:14...you know...
34:15...a great show...
34:16...every time I get in the ring...
34:17...and I did what I do...
34:18...all the time...
34:19...is just perform great.
34:20...in front of my hometown...
34:21...it was even excellent.
34:22...and happy Father's Day...
34:23...and to everybody out there...
34:25...and happy Father's Day...
34:26...all the Father's...
34:27...to all my friends...
34:28...Don King, HBO...
34:29...thank you for the opportunity.
34:30...that you have given me.
34:31Thank you very much, Tim Austin.
34:34Thank you, Larry.
34:35And finally...
34:36...these words...
34:37...Cincinnati really isn't...
34:39...a fight.
34:40...the town...
34:41...the Cincinnati Inquirer...
34:42...today...
34:43...had three...
34:44...sports-related...
34:45...two stories...
34:46...on the front page...
34:47...one baseball...
34:48...one about...
34:49...a minor league hockey team...
34:50...and one about...
34:51...a NASCAR...
34:52...road race...
34:53...across the river.
34:54You had to go into...
34:55...the 11th page...
34:56...of the sports section...
34:57...to find anything...
34:58...about this fight.
35:00The Cincinnati Post...
35:02...had not a word...
35:03...about this fight.
35:05...but there have been...
35:06...a few great fighters...
35:07...from here...
35:08...and sometimes...
35:09...the circus...
35:10...passes through...
35:11...even...
35:12...the hometowns.
35:13Ricardo Williams...
35:14...who recently...
35:15...won the silver medal...
35:16...in the Olympics...
35:17...and now...
35:18...Tim Austin...
35:19...comes home.
35:20...to leave...
35:21...a memory...
35:22...in him...
35:24...and in...
35:25...and all those fans...
35:26...who've waited for him...
35:27...since he was...
35:28...a great amateur here.
35:29Jim?
35:30All right...
35:31...thank you very much...
35:32...Larry Merchant...
35:33...Emmanuel Stewart...
35:34...I can think of...
35:35...a few possible...
35:35...fights...
35:36...for Tim Austin...
35:37...that might make...
35:38...the radar screen...
35:39...a fellow...
35:40...118-pound...
35:41...titlist...
35:40...Hawley Ayala...
35:41...of Texas...
35:42...might make for...
35:43...an interesting matchup...
35:44...the legendary...
35:45...Johnny Tapia...
35:45...of Albuquerque...
35:46...is still out there...
35:47...still available...
35:48...for a possible fight...
35:49...and there are...
35:50...some bigger names...
35:51...up at 122...
35:50...and 126...
35:51...where does Tim Austin...
35:52...stand?
35:53I think with his...
35:54...punching power...
35:55...and his...
35:55...great record...
