00:00Main event, Inouye, Picasso, under way.
00:06Jayak Medaliyev, he said, quite explicitly and purposely he wanted to outbox him.
00:12Really good battle, but this is different kettle of fish altogether.
00:18But to your point about the clear mind, again, this is a fight.
00:21So, Inouye, historically very measured in the opening round.
00:26Look at that hand speed from Inouye.
00:30Round two underway, saw Inouye's father went back to their roots, so to speak.
00:35They did portions of their training camp outdoors for the first time in many years.
00:40A little bit of a nostalgic feel, and this is big.
00:43Yeah, I mean, that's why he's the best in the world, right?
00:45And he's always gathering information and studying his opponents.
00:48But I think everything that Inouye does is really predicated off of that amazing quick first step.
00:53Big right hand there from Inouye.
00:55No back foot boxing here tonight.
00:58He said that he is looking for the knockouts against Picasso, and he is hammering him with clubbing shots right
01:05now.
01:06Nice right hand in reply from Picasso with your opponent and just get there first.
01:11Yeah, exactly.
01:13Yeah, you know, that's almost in court.
01:14Inouye, there's a nice right hand from Picasso.
01:17Inouye, just clean that uppercut.
01:19Picasso, standing in there as he gets cracked with a left hook.
01:23Take the cut, look good shots here.
01:26Alan Picasso.
01:28We're in Lasso.
01:28We're feeling in the fight now.
01:30Two rounds gone, and he's still there.
01:34That's in.
01:36That's one of the things to claim as Undisputed and Ring Magazine champion.
01:40Yeah, Corey, and there's also a lot of talk, and there has been for a couple of years now, of
01:43him going all the way.
01:44Setting up his attack, that jab to the body.
01:46Yeah, taking a slight step back here and adhering the advice of his core.
01:52Nice.
01:53Chopping right hand there from Picasso as Inouye comes back.
01:56Leaping all action in this third round, particularly in the latter half, as Inouye.
02:01The heavyweight champ watching intently there from ringside.
02:06And if I...
02:08Look at that, just a fraction out of range to avoid this.
02:11Throwing into the weight class.
02:13He hasn't taken any of his speed on the back foot.
02:17But he made that struggle for Picasso to land or even get close.
02:23In this contest, we took about, sorry, took about, in a way.
02:28Another one, that'll make any Mexican fighter proud.
02:31Yeah.
02:32Left hook up top there.
02:33Get to work.
02:34When he's got his man back onto the rope, or in the corner, then you get to work.
02:37Just standing in front of Inouye a bit too much there.
02:40Not to see him just...
02:41Left hook.
02:45Round five now underway.
02:47There are large stretches where he's just planting his feet,
02:51Leading in front of Picasso.
02:54Left hook there from Picasso.
02:58Inouye again, you see that attitude as soon as...
03:01Entertaining fight.
03:04Which again...
03:05On the retreat, choosing to be on the retreat has it in abundance.
03:09Beautiful pull counter right hand there a moment ago.
03:11Barrett trying to beat him in with his back against the ropes.
03:14Oh, that right hand stuck in.
03:16And there from Inouye.
03:19Ronan under that left hook.
03:21Beautiful boxing.
03:27Rounds have suggested that he might start to crank it up here in round six.
03:33And it's certainly looking like it.
03:34Yes, Cory, in the order back to the center of the ring.
03:37Picasso.
03:39If you're Alan Picasso.
03:41Nice double jab.
03:43And again, nice single jab there.
03:45But then it just...
03:47Gives Inouye the kick up the back side to get going.
03:50Good chopping right hand there from Picasso.
03:54Inouye.
03:55That digs to the body.
03:57And an opportunity to go again there.
03:59Inouye, double jab right hand.
04:01But look at that.
04:02One elbow of Picasso really is a thing of beauty.
04:06A spot there for Picasso.
04:08And his face.
04:09And you saw when Inouye was landing just there.
04:11It doesn't matter if it's on the glove.
04:14Inouye winds up with another hard bot.
04:21So round seven begins.
04:22G4 for an alien, a monster.
04:24Inouye.
04:24But Picasso.
04:25And then he'll fire back with blistering combinations.
04:27Just a step ahead in every...
04:30Exaggerate the movement too much.
04:31Then he'll be left and right.
04:32And everything...
04:34Against Neri, against Cardenas.
04:35But they were as a result of...
04:38Every now and again coming square.
04:39You know, it only takes fractions.
04:40A little adjustment and...
04:42You get caught with something silly.
04:44That was better defensively.
04:45Nice left hook.
04:46Taking on the glove though.
04:47For me now.
04:53Beat by the better man.
04:54Yeah, you see.
04:55Inouye to this point in the fight.
04:56Landing a hot...
04:58Kind of control early on.
04:59And then Hernandez take over over the second half.
05:01Losing here in this round.
05:05And there's nothing...
05:06You know, the speed and the movement.
05:08It just saps his opponent's self-belief as he lands a...
05:12But this man here looking at levels above.
05:17A way to step up.
05:19Is he willing to really turn...
05:22Outclassed in the Mexican right now.
05:23Lands a nice left to the body but...
05:27You want to work the jab off...
05:29A better jab.
05:32Picasso with a left hook.
05:33Tries to step in with one of his own.
05:37Body.
05:38Badly to the body.
05:39He is just sinking into the rope.
05:46Round 10 now.
05:47The monster.
05:49Thunderous puncture.
05:50A terrific finisher.
05:52In Inouye.
05:54Oh, nice right uppercut though.
05:56Signs of hope but that...
05:57Shots.
06:01It really is the difference between winning and losing.
06:04His blood pressure goes down when the bell rings.
06:08Yeah, composure and discipline is just...
06:10Yeah.
06:10Pops the head back of Inouye momentarily.
06:17On his album.
06:18Oh, Picasso has said he's been hearing those types of...
06:22As he calls it, McTerra...
06:24His eyes are right in front of us here.
06:27I mean, doing some quick math.
06:28Look at the number of power shots thrown and then landed.
06:35Monster body shots.
06:36All the shots, the blistering punches that are going right through the guard.
06:40And even if they're not connecting, they're still hurting.
06:43On the arms.
06:44On the...
06:45On the back with fast hands.
06:48Just unbelievably relaxed.
06:51For how violent of an offensive operator Inouye is.
06:56Look at that right hand over the top.
06:58Splat now pushing.
07:00Picasso's back.
07:02That left to the body as well just slipped through the guard.
07:05Oh, and another one right there.
07:09Alon Picasso has three minutes to produce a miracle here as the 12th and final...
07:15Hold on, I'm not getting a gift.
07:17Santa Coppager can't find one here.
07:1911 rounds for Inouye.
07:22He will be the end of his fan support back.
07:25Good left hook up top there from Picasso, but Inouye...
07:29Also landing to the body at the same time.
07:33Look at the hand movement of Inouye.
07:35It is...
07:35He's safe, but game effort here.
07:38From Picasso, that's enough support from Miracle.
07:43Hard body shot there from Inouye.
07:46And another four heart show from Picasso.
07:49Four lefts to the body, then fires back with one of his own.
07:53Followed by Upness again here in Riyadh.
07:56Special, special fighter.
07:58And that will do it.
08:00What do we add?
08:02Yeah, without a shadow of a doubt.
08:06A brave effort.
08:08Nowhere, the monster...
08:14Inouye!
08:18So another masterful performance.
