00:00Now 1-800-33-Tyson
00:07You're looking at a live shot
00:09the MGM Grand Garden Arena here in Las Vegas, Nevada
00:13where tonight we are expecting a sellout
00:16for our main event
00:19WBC heavyweight champion Frank Bruno
00:21making his first title defense
00:23against Mike Tyson
00:26Now heavyweight championship fights are a magnet for us
00:29celebrities, fans, high rollers, and a host of activities
00:33Bill Box joins us now for a report on the fight festivities
00:36Bill
00:37Well, I'll tell you, I don't know what there is about a heavyweight championship fight
00:40except the word electricity
00:41We got a party going on
00:42I know there are parties going on all over the world now for this fight
00:45There are more celebrities per square foot inside this room
00:48This is the VIP celebrity party going on inside
00:51But I have been in Las Vegas for an entire week
00:54and there's something about the week-long build-up
00:57to a heavyweight championship fight
00:59that really makes a heavyweight championship like this
01:01the most compelling event in boxing and show business
01:05and I would like to show you
01:06the sights and the sounds of Fight Week
01:13Don't you know how the soccer crowds chant in England or whatever
01:16but they really get behind their mouth
01:18and they will do the same with Frank
01:20Bruno! Bruno! Bruno!
01:22And in 1996, Bruno has claimed the heavyweight crown
01:26Tyson will take it away
01:27and bring it back to all glory
01:29and bring it to America
01:34These colours don't run
01:36and that's what Bruno's going to do
01:38he's going to knock Tyson out
01:40alright?
01:41So don't forget it
01:58Ten and seven is probably going to be the right number
02:01except we have a lot of guests coming over from England
02:04that are going to bet on, of course, on Frank Bruno
02:06They're offering 10-1 here
02:08Tyson will win by knockout
02:10300
02:10He's a one in England
02:11so he's 8-1 here
02:12That's why we came
02:13Now let's get an update on the odds on Fight Day
02:17Gene, KB, things have changed since we talked on Tuesday afternoon
02:21Well, right
02:21Tuesday, Mike Tyson was still a 10-1 favorite
02:24and as you can see on the board right now behind us
02:26Mike Tyson is a 7-1 favorite
02:28which means you lay $7 to win a dollar on Mike Tyson
02:31Frank Bruno, on the other hand, is a 5-1 underdog
02:34What was he on Tuesday when we talked?
02:36He was a 7-1 underdog
02:37So every dollar you bet on Frank Bruno
02:38you got 7 back
02:39plus your dollar was 8 back
02:41So a lot of backing for Frank Bruno
02:42and we talked about this the other day
02:44that once all the Brits came over here
02:46that the line would come down somewhat
02:47and actually it got as low as minus $6.50 on Mike Tyson
02:51and we had our casino guest bet $65,000 on Mike Tyson
02:54so it's back up to $7.000
02:56The whole bucket is on Mike tonight
02:57Without a doubt, I'm putting my money on Frank
02:59I'm going to do him a favor and knock him out
03:01right into Don King's lap
03:06Into Don King's lap, we will see
03:08but with us right now is our jovial host
03:10and a big one, that is a big party
03:12Alex Jemeningen
03:13the president and COO of MGM Grant
03:16you do a wonderful job
03:17What does a flight like this mean to the hotel?
03:20Well, from a casino standpoint
03:22obviously it's a great opportunity
03:24for marketing to our customers
03:26both nationally and internationally
03:27but I think it really re-establishes
03:30the MGM Grant
03:30as a premier venue for great entertainment
03:33Well sir, you've done an excellent job
03:34and we certainly have had
03:35a profusion of celebrities
03:37we're expecting
03:37Drew Barrymore, Kevin Costner, Bill Cosby
03:41Roseanne is here
03:42I interviewed Don Johnson
03:44but one of my big favorites over here
03:45let's just walk over and say to
03:47excuse me sir
03:49excuse me sir
03:50we've got about 20 million people watching
03:53Gregory Hines saying hi to Harry Mandel
03:55Greg, we're on TV now
03:57I have one quick question for Gregory Hines
03:59can you, waiting to exhale here
04:01is Mike Tyson still the baddest man on the planet?
04:05Well I think we have to find out
04:06because the first two fights
04:08we weren't able to see
04:09certainly there was a lot of rust
04:11but we're going to find out tonight
04:13I think this is a real fight
04:14I think Bruno is a much better fighter
04:17than the previous two
04:18and we'll see
04:20Well that's cool man
04:21we'll see you at ringside, right?
04:23No
04:23Clearly ringside
04:23No, you're up in the low
04:24I don't know where I am
04:25but I know I'm not ringside
04:26Alright Gregory, thank you very much
04:28back to you Jim Hill
04:30Okay Bill, thank you very much
04:32Well Tommy, I'd like to get your reaction
04:33to some of the comments
04:34that we heard just a little while ago
04:35Well it seems like everybody
04:36pretty much is pro-Tiseman
04:37I think everybody realizes
04:38that he still has a lot to prove
04:40I think he's going to be criticized
04:42he's been really under the microscope tonight
04:43because this is his first real big test
04:45I think everybody is real anxious
04:47for the outcome
04:47And I know you heard all those people
04:49from Great Britain singing
04:50in the hotel lobby a little while ago
04:51Absolutely
04:51I think Britain's got the most enthusiastic fan
04:53from there on the planet
04:54that's for sure
04:55That is really amazing
04:56and of course
04:56listen to Gregory Hines
04:57he seems to be one of the few people
04:59that's really taking this thing in stride
05:00and looking at it
05:01from a realistic standpoint
05:02I think so
05:02he looks like he's probably
05:03a two-student of the game
05:04I'm sure he watches it a lot
05:05but he sees the same view
05:07that I see
05:08Alright
05:08Tommy you know
05:09we have an unusual bout coming up
05:11Christy Martin vs. Dietrich Gregerty
05:13and I'm wondering
05:14what's your opinion
05:15of women's professional fighting?
05:17Well I think there's a lot
05:18of mixed emotions
05:18when you're talking about
05:19women professional fighters
05:20I think you know
05:21there's some doctors out there
05:23that are kind of concerned
05:23about maybe the damage
05:24they could have done
05:25to their breasts
05:25and somewhere maybe
05:26down the line
05:27could cause a problem
05:28but one thing you've got to keep in mind
05:29is that you know
05:30boxing is a contact sport
05:31you know whether you're a doctor
05:32or a lawyer
05:33or a professional fighter
05:34there are certain risks involved
05:35and I think these women know that
05:36so you've got to admire
05:37their tenacity
05:37well I tell you what
05:38it's coming up
05:39in just a couple of moments
05:40let's go back down

17:58profusely
17:59I've never seen this

18:04that's been doing it
18:04Steve time and time again
18:05and I
18:06the first round
18:07I gave

18:17hard
18:18a sweeping left hook
18:20by Christy Martin
18:21and these punches
18:22these are not glancing blows
18:24these are landing flush
18:25and Gogerty's showing
18:26some good techniques
18:27good defensive
18:28survival skills
18:29and some good
18:29countering back
18:30she's got a nice
18:31stand up jab
18:31she leads with her right hand
18:33Christy's
18:34she basically does
18:35everything well
18:35except when she gets
18:36a little too careless
18:37and a little too anxious
18:38well tonight Gogerty
18:39said she'll use
18:40her boxing ability
18:41she really respects
18:42Christy's strength
18:43and she'll respect it
18:44a lot more after this
18:45but she says
18:46her defense
18:47leaves a lot
18:48to be desired
18:49the blood continues
18:50to streak
18:51from both nostrils
18:52of Christy Martin
19:03don't blow
19:04don't blow
19:04don't blow
19:05don't blow
19:08don't blow
19:09we're going to
19:09get some water
19:11just at one side
19:12just at one side
19:17good job
19:17good job
19:18good job
19:18you look good
19:20you won every round
19:21every round
19:22great Christina
19:23don't stop it
19:23for nothing
19:24this could help
19:25make the nose a little worse
19:26you see it bleeding
19:26a little bit there
19:27but it was a little bit
19:28of a beautiful
19:30straight right hand
19:30that kind of
19:31you know it was a little
19:32high in the nose
19:32but that might have
19:33turned it up
19:33and opened it up
19:34a little more
19:35made it flow
19:35as freely as it had
19:36good straight right hand
19:37again you'll see
19:37some nice counters
19:38some good form
19:39from these ladies
19:40they came here
19:41to fight
19:41this could actually
19:43be the best fight
19:43of the night guys
19:46that nose
19:47could very well
19:48be broken
19:49and they said
19:50don't blow your nose
19:51but interestingly
19:52she said to the doctor
19:53I'm alright
19:54and smiled
19:55Gogeta keeps trying
19:57to aim for Christy's nose
19:58with that jab
20:00looking to make it
20:01into target practice
20:03oh it's right hand
20:04by Martin
20:05and a counter
20:05by Gogeta
20:06and a kind of
20:07right hand and hook
20:07that counter hook
20:08has been so effective
20:09for Gogeta
20:10she has been landing
20:10it at will
20:11that's what's causing
20:12the problem
20:12I think that started
20:13the nose
20:13there it is again
20:14it is on target
20:16I wonder if they
20:17underestimated
20:18the talents
20:19and the toughness
20:21of Deirdre Gogeta
20:22another straight right hand
20:24followed up by a left hook
20:25by Christy Martin
20:26and the blood
20:27continues to streak
20:28from her nose
20:28she is bleeding profusely
20:30you know and that
20:30is just a very
20:31I mean it looks bad
20:32it's not really a bad
20:33type of situation
20:34even if it's broken
20:35it's just broken
20:36that's what we fighters
20:37learn to live with
20:38with the flat nose
20:39I have
20:39I can tell you
20:40mine's been broken
20:40several times
20:44so round four
20:45continues
20:46and it
20:47for the most part
20:49has been
20:49non-stop action
20:54let's get
20:55Tommy Morrison's
20:56views on this

25:35clean
25:35nice counter by Christy
25:37there's another right hand
25:38by Gogurty
25:39keeping inside
25:40with the left hooks
25:41and the right hand
25:41she worked well inside
25:43and I'll tell you what
25:44that work there
25:44on that round
25:45was long
25:45and fruitful
25:46and I gave her the round
25:47here we go
25:47sixth and final round
25:49they wanted to touch gloves
25:50Carlos Padilla's
25:51touch gloves
25:51hey Bobby
25:52this could turn out
25:53to be the best fight
25:53of the night
25:54boy
25:55that second round
25:57knockdown of Gogurty
25:58and resultant
25:59extra point deduction
26:00for going down
26:01could be a factor
26:02in the decision
26:03this is the
26:04sixth and final round
26:06you know that may be
26:07I got three rounds
26:08or two
26:08but that knockdown
26:09makes it
26:10kind of past the point
26:11of no return
26:12for Gogurty
26:13because she needs
26:14to knockdown
26:14to draw even
26:16knockout to win
26:17and we know
26:17how well Christy is
26:18and she's very well
26:19conditioned
26:20works with men
26:20as does Gogurty
26:21going to be tough to do
26:23it's a big
26:24big tall order
26:25step up step up
26:25step up step up
26:26step up
26:30Christy Martin
26:31now backpedaling
26:32but hitting
26:33while she backpedals
26:35and comes through
26:36with a sweeping
26:36left hook there
26:37back comes Gogurty
26:38again
26:38she will not
26:40let up
26:41she not only will not
26:42let up
26:42she actually might be
26:43in the better condition
26:44of the two of them
26:45right now
26:47the extra five pounds
26:48again I think the strength
26:49was a big factor
26:50for Christy
26:51I think the extra five pounds
26:52of pop
26:53in her punches
26:54the extra five rounds
26:54to move around
26:55made a difference
26:57again that left hook
26:58all night long
26:59that left hook
27:00for Deidre Gogurty
27:01it's been there
27:01it's been her go-to punch
27:03she has had some answers
27:04for the much more
27:06experienced Christy Martin
27:07final 40 seconds
27:09of the fight
27:11Gogurty was very close
27:12to being stopped
27:13in round two
27:15but she has looked
27:16to be the fresher
27:17fighter the rest
27:18of the way
27:20there's a left hook
27:21and followed up
27:21by a countering
27:22overhand right
27:23by Christy Martin
27:26less than 20 seconds
27:27remaining in the fight
27:30and understandably
27:31they are beginning
27:32to tire
27:32because this has been
27:33just an incredible pace
27:35but yet they continue
27:36to throw punches
27:37to the end
27:37and again Martin landing
27:39Gogurty's kept the pace
27:40in his last round
27:40she's done most
27:41of the scoring
27:42but here comes Christy
27:43there's no quick Christy
27:44either
27:44getting hit on the chin
27:45firing right back
27:47the only thing
27:47that will stop her
27:48is the power
27:50and the crowd here
27:52at the NGM Grand

30:04two of the judges
30:05didn't give a round

30:07buy it
30:07I thought she won
30:08two rounds

30:10clearly there was
30:11a little bit of
30:12misguided effort
30:13in the judging
30:13I agree
30:14Martin wins
30:14by unanimous decision
30:16and ups her record
