00:03154 pound champion terrible Terry Norris defended both his IBEF and WBC championships
00:09against Alex Rios the number six rated challenger
00:17nice combination to the body a left uppercut and right hook by Rios but once again he doesn't
00:22bring it up the middle come to the body and rip it up a la Mike Tyson there's a ripping
00:26left uppercut by Norris Rios coming back with a combination and that momentarily dazed Terry
00:32Norris beautiful right hand by Alex Rios switching a little bit here on us Rios escaping what appeared
00:41to be a knockdown as he went down to one knee it was no question it should have been a
00:45knockdown
00:46Mills Lane was behind the action and didn't see it oh what a round
00:58yeah you gotta move you gotta move your upper body you gotta do some lateral moves especially
01:03when you have him on the on the rope
01:08here's Norris when he starts pouring it on one he sees the range and he looks like he's got
01:12his guy in trouble sensing and smelling and knockout see you see that he actually touched
01:18canvas that time but the referee was on the wrong side that doesn't keep tearing ours off of him he
01:22just keeps right on pouring like rain that fell on but nothing fazed Alex Rios
01:35oh and Norris just loading up with the right but didn't have full impact see Terry's starting to get
01:39bounce I'm starting to get in the rhythm he works off that jab pops jumps back and forth back and
01:44forth when he does that he does it so well what I'm wondering though with this pace of a fight
01:49too
01:49can he keep doing that and will it affect him in the later rounds because he's got to stay outside
01:53and relax when he wants to relax and he can but he isn't I don't think this is going into
01:57the later
01:58round I don't think he's thinking later rounds I think he's thinking let's get this guy out of here now
02:01I'll tell you what's landing with regularity is the uppercut there
02:04and he's upset pounding the canvas with his left glove he gets up quickly that uppercut was landing
02:15the entire fight and that one just as I said it was with a lot of steam oh man does
02:20this kid have
02:20heart he comes running back in to resume the fight right in front of Terry Norris it was a
02:27pretty much a flash knockdown upset that he went down with Rios well I think he caught the uppercut
02:32right on his nose I think it really hurt him and stunned him more than it hurt him debilitating wise
02:37a left hook there that that nailed Rios on the face great counterpunch that left hook was a great
02:42counterpunch surgical shots here by Terry Norris looking to carve up the challenger Alex Rios but
02:48Rios his game and Rios doesn't seem to know how to get out of a corner I mean you don't
02:52want to stand in
02:53that corner with Terry Norris by the way oh a body shot with a straight right by Terry Norris
03:00see that leverage that Terry gets with that uppercut he leads in off that left leg and digs
03:04straight up with that uppercut it's been landing so clean it's got to take its toll Norris landing
03:09regularly now having his way straight left hand by Rios coming back
03:19Norris with that left that corkscrew uppercut beautifully done
03:27his corner don't go to the ribs go to the ribs you see him going to the ribs
03:30all of them here comes Rios going to the body then upstairs the roars covering up
03:38the crowd urging Rios on
03:42you'll see Terry sit there waiting to watch behind his hands his guard up
03:46and then spring into action with a timing shot and that's one of his special things
03:50kind of Frank Parson as he opens up and back comes Rios again that's an old tactic used by Azuma
03:55Nelson
03:56a great featherweight and super featherweight and he is pounding in Rios's ribs
04:19and he's going to take a deep breath okay hey el vato he's coming right down the pipe all you
04:26did you just dip a little bit stick it out not to punch body to body with him but to
04:36box more
04:37keep his defensive more on me you're going to see the knockdown it's an overhead view
04:41Terry Norris working as he has ripping those uppercuts on the inside there he hits the uppercut
04:46bang it's a double shot and i think it was just painful Rios went down got hit one then the
04:50second
04:50one right away right behind him let's take another look at that because that uppercut is a thing of
04:54beauty should be studied his hands up real high right there watching he's watching his appointment
04:58watch him watching for the openings what he does is he takes his uppercut one here gets Rios throws
05:03another shot then double shot and i'll tell you as we roll the tape you'll see there's the first one
05:09and he just he can just see it and their hands open again he lands another one right on and
05:13i believe
05:13that one may have busted or just really severely pinched the nose because even though it was a great
05:18leveraged shot it wasn't a tremendous power shot but a stinging shot
05:35take a look at the attack i mean he's not hitting anything with god the guts of this guy he's
05:39right
05:40there rios keeps swinging away hoping to make contact oh good combination nice left hand body and a
05:47right hook right atop me alex rios
05:53he's getting close to desperation time where he's gambling all he's got against whatever terry's
05:58getting terry's still got a lot in the bank rios with a smile there after that straight right hand
06:03by terry north north backs rios into his own corner look at these shots uppercuts and left
06:09hooks by terry north polarizing shots i think many a lesser person would be down from those shots
06:16now i'll tell you rios came here to fight that he came here to take a shot of greatness
06:19and i admire a guy who puts himself in the middle of things even if it is in harm's way
06:23a gutsy alex
06:25rios showing tremendous courage here young man from san antonio look at it he's ready to go
06:31here comes doris looking to finish rios off and mid lane steps in and he says that's enough it's
06:37all over once again steve was the uppercut the leverage of that uppercut real ducking down
06:41terry bending and springing up into it bang and again the crowd erupts feeling that it was stuck
06:47prematurely as in the trinidad lovato fight i i think this one was more clear-cut than the trinidad
06:53fight because this guy was really taking the shellacking and he was waving in the breeze and
06:57the other one his eyes showed that he was classy and they should have stopped it but we didn't see
07:02it here i think everybody's looking at it said yeah you don't need anybody how about the reaction
07:07by alex rios again pounding his his glove to the canvas he he wanted more he feels dejected obviously
07:15over the defeat but hearing it from the crowd the crowd really uh getting behind him because of his
07:22heart and his courage they put on a great show he came to fight he didn't just walk in here
07:27and
07:27take a payday he came here looking to get a piece of the world championship two-thirds of it as
07:31a fact
07:31and you know i think that a little just a little bit longer could they could let it go because
07:37rios has shown how tough he is take a look at the end of the fight alex rios let's take
07:43a look at the end of
07:44the fight you you could see that the uh adventure here was over for uh rios he had done his
07:52best
07:52and he began to get these hammering shots that just made him waver in the wind and like that right
07:56there that's that's that's a concluding punch that's like uh-oh from here on out it's just uh you
08:02know it's a semicolon here comes the period because it's you just can't you can't weather that storm and
08:07you know if terry norris is on top of you like getting hurt yeah you know you see those uppercuts
08:13and inside shot the hooks here terry just not really landing too effectively but on inside he
08:17starts to dig the uppercuts and the hooks that uppercut the one two there's another hook that
08:21uppercut is the one that started everything and you can see his legs aren't under his eyes are a little
08:25glassy and terry's just biding his time working his way in and you know in all honesty they could
08:31let it go a little longer but not too much terry being the devastating puncher and finisher that he is
08:35that's pretty appropriate he's one of my way of technical knockout still the ivf junior middleweight
08:44and wbc super welterweight champion of the world terrible terry norris
08:56that was what you would call a surprisingly hard fight for you oh definitely i didn't expect it
09:02to be so hard but uh take my hat off to alex he came out of fighting uh that's just
09:08hey i just take
09:08my hat off he's a good fighter you've hit him with shots that would have knocked almost anybody oh yeah
09:12i hit it with some good shots i don't know what kept him up and a lot of people been
09:15telling me he's
09:15been going down with a lot of with a lot of punches and i was i was putting him on

09:59giving terry some
09:59good shots but terry's beginning to get to him pretty good and he'd been he'd been nailed a couple
10:04of times really bad and i figured that one punch too quick is better than one punch too late so
10:09that
