00:00Remember that BMI commands the whole team, defend yourselves the whole team. God bless, touch gloves, touch them.
00:07Victor Lachlan, our referee, Caroline Dubois, the WBC lightweight champion, in the purple, Terry Harper, the WBO champion, in the
00:16white.
00:18Second's out, round one.
00:21So here we go, ten two-minute rounds or fewer in this all-British unification.
00:28Dubois with 12 wins and one draw, that draw coming after a head clash early in her fight against Jessica
00:35Kamara.
00:36The fight she looked to be on the way to win.
00:38Half the 16 wins, two defeats, two draws.
00:42The draws coming against a co-commentator tonight, Natasha Jonas, and also Cecilia Brekus.
00:48The defeats inside the distance against Sandy Ryan and Alicia Baumgartner.
00:53It's those fights that Dubois has really pointed to as a sign of weakness, but she's never lost at lightweight,
01:02Harper.
01:03And she very much regards this as being the strongest weight division.
01:19And these two just having a look early on. A minute has passed.
01:23Some leather has been thrown, not much has landed.
01:25Dubois just taking the centre, just trying to creep in.
01:38Let's go, the left-hand there, Dubois threw that lead foot wide and really put some heat on that, but
01:43Harper saw it coming and avoided it comfortably.
01:49There's a cagey opener here, you see the respect, maybe not shown during the week, but certainly shown in there
01:54now.
01:55Both trying to outwit the other, see what the other one's going to do.
01:58Lots of feints going on there.
02:03Nothing of any real no-landing.
02:07Both girls still trying to find their range.
02:14Yeah, I think sometimes with a southpaw and an awful-locked box, it can take a round or two to
02:18get the leverage and the range on the job.
02:30Good, mate. Yeah?
02:32Terry Harper back with the rolled amateur.
02:34Coach calls to Rose.
02:38Good morning, Jean.
02:42All good.
02:45Great.
02:46So you're establishing your range then.
02:48Perfect.
02:49A little bit more on jab.
02:51Sometimes you can't look at me.
02:52Sometimes you can just get it.
02:53That measure going with it.
02:55And then pop-on, pop-on.
02:56You're freaking fucking brilliant.
02:57If you keep doing this, you can do this for four, five, six rounds.
03:00Yeah?
03:01Gaugey, but it doesn't fucking matter.
03:03Because when it gets better, you want to.
03:04All right?
03:05Stay calm, stay relaxed.
03:07All right?
03:08And when you're tired,
03:14Apologies for a bit of language in the corner there.
03:17As we always say, this is the hurt business.
03:20As the late great Ricky Hatton used to remind people it is not a tickling contest.
03:25Not much landed in that opening round.
03:27They were happy in the Harper corner.
03:29Feeling that she's getting a handle on the distance.
03:33All the talk before the fight from Dubois was about how she was going to get in there and take
03:37Harper out.
03:38Fighters are too smart for that.
03:41Yeah, I think a slower pace fight, though, does suit Harper.
03:45I think for Dubois, she'll want to get some rhythm going.
03:48She'll want to get some pace, intensity into the fight.
03:52She's the younger fighter.
03:56It is a 10-round fight.
03:58So, at both corners, the retrospectively said, don't rush.
04:03Like, you don't want to make the first mistake.
04:07Harper trying to let go with the combination there.
04:10I think quite lamb.
04:10And just after Dubois had flung in a high-wide lead, right hook, which didn't make the target either.
04:18I think this was actually better from Teddy because in the first round, even though Nottingham was really thrown,
04:24I thought she was a bit negative and kept on going back.
04:26Whereas this time, she's a bit more...
04:31She's trying to stay in the centre of the ring a bit more.
04:38Getting a good side-on view here of the kind of reach that Dubois has got.
04:42She likes to set those feet quite wide, give herself that strong base to punch from.
04:46Hasn't really managed to land that jab yet.
04:49Looks to try and lead off with the right hook.
04:51Fainting with it, at least, anyway.
04:53Big left hand there, the Harper moving away.
04:55Had it covered.
04:58Give a little grin to say, I've seen that.
05:10Harper looking to try and score with that right hand to the body.
05:13Closing stage is a round two.
05:15Good right hand by Harper, good strong shot.
05:18Straight down the middle.
05:36You're doing the glassy stuff, she's done it out of those little bursts, okay?
05:40She's celebrating every shot she lands.
05:42Whoa, big right hand.
05:43Whoa.
05:44There's nothing in it.
05:45You've just got to get straight back on her when that happens, okay?
05:47All right, better track in the rear, you'll keep tracking a bit better there, all right?
05:52You're going to pick your feet up when you double a jab, listen.
05:56Pick your feet up when you double a jab, okay?
06:00So that the back hand goes down first.
06:01Big grip back, okay?
06:03So here's our right hand back from right at the end of the round.
06:09Yeah, lovely time shot there and one just skipped over the head of Harper, but lovely, lovely
06:16looping right hand from Harper around the Dubois.
06:20And she knew it.
06:21The tongue out said she knew it and it landed.
06:23And in close rounds like that, that could be the difference in who you give the round to
06:27because that's the most memorable shot for me.
06:30It was the cleanest punch of the fight so far, very early stages.
06:42Harper just reaching for the right hand that time, didn't get there with it.
06:52I think this slower pace is suiting Harper.
06:54You know, she's possibly out thinking Dubois at this kind of pace, but I think at the same
07:01time Caroline can't be gung-ho or reckless either because she's going to get picked up
07:04in the way, so she's got to try and subtly up the pace here and try and force Harper
07:10into making some mistakes.
07:13Harper just sticking her tongue out of Dubois again there.
07:1720 seconds or so ago, they traded long body shots.
07:20But that was better for Dubois, doubling up on the jab, coming in behind it.
07:24Didn't land the backhand, but, you know, it was the right idea.
07:27She's got to throw more punches, I think she's got to use feints, double up on that jab,
07:31look for that left hand into the body.
07:33I think she's got to be, like exactly what you're saying, being a bit cuter getting in.
07:37She's coming in with just a one-phase attack and Harper's been too clever for that.
07:46Harper again looking for that right-hand counter.
07:48Didn't quite land Dubois trying to rip to the body with the left and, again,
07:52that didn't quite get there either.
07:53That one might just about have done.
07:55But when she's looked to close in and tee up that left hand,
07:59she's moved off to her right effectively, Harper.
08:08Harper's turn this time to stick that tongue out,
08:11feeling that she landed a good solid shot there.
08:13Final stages of round three.
08:20Okay, let's go over to Anna.
08:23She's with Stacey and Johnny.
08:26Yeah, not much in it.
08:28Early start, Johnny.
08:30How are you seeing it?
08:30First two rounds, Caroline held the centre.
08:34We're doing the last round.
08:36Terry Harper kind of shared it with her,
08:37but she's got to make sure she gets a distance that suits her.
08:41Caroline's trying to close the distance down.
08:43When they cross swords, Caroline's a more susceptible of the two.
08:46So she's got to be smart, sharp, patience with the shot.
08:49Matt just mentioned it in commentary.
08:51Is the pace suiting Harper, do you think, so far?
08:53I think it's just on a knife search,
08:55and it's fascinating to see how this one unfolds,
08:57because at some point someone's going to have to take some risks.
09:00They're starting to find the range a little bit more.
09:02They've both had success landing shots,
09:04but someone's going to have to step up here and go with the kids.
09:07It's getting closer.
09:08It's getting closer.
09:09It's getting closer.
09:09It's getting closer.
09:09It's getting closer.
09:10It's getting these rounds.
09:10It is.
09:11All right, let's see how it unfolds then.
09:15Second's out.
09:17Round four.
09:20So into the fourth, Dubois, the WBC champion in the purple and black.
09:24Harper, the WBO champion in the white.
09:35Just took her feet in with a bit more commitment
09:38and landed it straight into the mid-drift of Harper.
09:41That'll slow her down.
09:41And I think that's the key.
09:43She's got to commit to it.
09:44When she's coming, you can't be half-hearted.
09:46If you're coming in behind the double jab,
09:48then you've got to really step in with it
09:49and fire that left hand into the solar plexus.
09:54There's a lead right hook from Dubois as well,
09:57which caught Tapa High on the head.
09:58And then half a chop stand with a right hand there.
10:00Decent chop.
10:01Gets on the jab.
10:02It's just beginning to warm up a bit.
10:04Yeah, good shot there from Harper,
10:06two straight right hand into the body of Dubois.
10:09Good shot there from Caroline.
10:23Again, trying to step in and look for that long left of the body.
10:25She's very hard to land, Matt.
10:27Yeah, she has.
10:27She's got to move quick with her feet.
10:29You see it there because Harper's reading her.
10:32She's seen it coming.
10:33She's taking that half-step out of range
10:34and just taking the distance away from Dubois.
10:36So Dubois has got to maybe sneak into range a bit of faint.
10:39Jab the body.
10:41You know, try and not be predictable when she does come.
10:47She's also given Harper the out.
10:49She's given her the space to one move to take a step back.
10:52She needs to have Harper a bit closer
10:54so when she moves back she's onto the ropes
10:56and she's got nowhere to go.
10:58Right now she's doing where she's doing it.
11:00Harper can just take a step back and scoot around.
11:03Doubling up on the jab there Dubois about 20 seconds ago.
11:06The second one made its way to the target.
11:08There's not much in these rounds.
11:10With Rourdeek, good bodywork there from Dubois.
11:18And that's better from Dubois again.
11:19Just taking her feet in.
11:34Get some air in.
11:35There you go.
11:36You're loving it.
11:37You're enjoying it.
11:39Discipline.
11:39What did you say will affect this fucking fight?
11:43Discipline.
11:43All the way through, yeah?
11:45Let's do it.
11:47More and more things are going to open up.
11:49Well, opportunities.
11:53Good stuff.
11:54Outfall, you've just got to do exactly the same.
11:56But be clever.
11:56Watch for that double jab.
11:58Yeah, game caught.
11:59Second phase.
12:00And don't stiffen up when you're going to go
12:02and have a go with that.
12:03And that's how you just do that.
12:04There it is.
12:07Well, here's some action from that previous round.
12:10And a right hook landing there from Dubois.
12:15Sinked out.
12:16Round five.
12:20So into the fifth.
12:22These first four rounds haven't been that straightforward to score.
12:27Dubois has been the one on the front foot.
12:29Of the two, probably throwing more.
12:32But Harper has had the successes.
12:55The bar again just moving in there, launching the attack to the body.
13:01I think with Dubois being the one who looks more willing to initiate the attack,
13:05I think Harper should be just trying to tie-booth the straight right hand as she comes.
13:09Good backhand over the top from Dubois.
13:12Straight left hand down the middle from Dubois.
13:14A snake through the gap and found Harper who was just pulling back.
13:17So managed to ride it to an extent into the second minute of round five.
13:25Opportunities are having to be earned here.
13:26Nobody is giving anything away.
13:36And the build-up to the fight Dubois was talking about being explosive.
13:40Looking to win by knockout early.
13:43Could all be kidology of course.
13:44Harper feeling that if she can get it into the second half then the fight would be hers.
13:48We're not too far away from the halfway stage.
13:51It's been...
13:52The fight has taken a lot of focus for both of them so far.
13:55But physically I don't think we'll have taken loads out of them.
13:58No, but mentally his strategy could be absorbing.
14:00But you see Harper's very good at taking a distance away from Dubois using the face.
14:05Just taking half a step.
14:07And all of a sudden Dubois has got to reset and start again.
14:11It was a good body shot that when he trimmed it from Dubois.
14:14Like a backhand hook to the body.
14:24So we're at the halfway stage of this unification.
14:28An all-British showdown at Olympia.
14:33It's been a really good night so far.
14:35Big upset.
14:36In the eyes of many.
14:38Sprung by Irma Garcia against Emma Dolan.
14:40A win for Chantel Cameron.
14:42Ellie Scone becoming undisputed.
14:44Let's have a listen.
14:44Be yourself closer.
14:45Force that reaction on our net now, okay?
14:48Alright?
14:49Stop stepping out.
14:53Good body shots going in there.
14:58Yeah, just slipping outside the right hand and that left hook into the liver area.
15:08Good 10 seconds.
15:13I was just about to say, just the head of us, if we could see Culinary Shield giving her a
15:17shout and screaming instructions to her.
15:21Someone who's achieved a phenomenal amount.
15:24Double Olympic gold medalist undisputed in three different weight divisions.
15:29Campaigning at heavyweight currently, but we'll go wherever the fights are, wherever there is a challenge for it.
15:35Heading into the second half of this one.
15:38I think what Harper's done really well here is control the distance at which the fight has been fought, control
15:43the pace, slowed it down.
15:47And that's her experience, a testament to her ring-gentleship.
15:51Dubois hasn't really been able to up the pace, up the tempo because Harper's been so good at just taking
15:57a half-step out of range, used the feints, changed the angle.
16:01And all of a sudden, you know, Caroline's got to reset and think about a different attack.
16:05But she's staying disciplined, Dubois, and you do get the feeling that she's getting closer bit by bit.
16:12And she's the one who's really looking to try and press things here for the most part.
16:18Yeah, Teddy's gone back to being a bit negative.
16:21And, like I said earlier, in the close rounds, like, you want to give the person who's, you know, at
16:28least trying to initiate the attacks, the rounds.
16:31Good body shock went in there by Caroline as well.
16:34Just before that, Harper managing to land the jab.
16:36Long left hand there from Dubois, just about got there.
16:54You know, the movement's been good, a half or two, she hasn't stood in front of Caroline Dubois, she stayed
16:58mobile.
17:00And her repertoire's been good, she's mixed it up, the jabs have been good, the straight right hands, the body.
17:06Oh, the shots!
17:08And then the long left hand dropped through Dubois, needs to get back to the neutral corner here.
17:17It was a snappy punch.
17:19Dubois just bellowing across the ring, she needs to save her energy, get back to the neutral corner.
17:24But to Loughlin making that absolutely clear, maybe a bit of frustration coming out there.
17:28Frustration, Andy, 100% frustration, that's where that came from.
17:32As soon as she shouted out there, I thought, she's been frustrated so far in this fight.
17:36And that's like a breakthrough, landing that punch.
17:39It was, and I feel in that round, Teddy was just becoming a little bit hesitant to throw.
17:45And Caroline Coppola capitalised on it with a great shot.
17:49And she'll be mad, Teddy will be mad at herself for that.
17:52Dubois needed that.
17:53She needed that breakthrough in that fight because Harper was dictating the term, she was controlling the pace, she was
17:58controlling the range.
18:02And when she landed that, and you could see the outburst of emotion, it was pure frustration.
18:08Goodness, 10 seconds.
18:10Well, you know, sorry, not frustration at the knockdown, but she's been frustrated.
18:14And that was the breakthrough that she needed.
18:162, 7.
18:17Well, we were talking about how bit by bit she's just been committing more with her feet and locking onto
18:23that range.
18:24Now, Victor Loughlin's having a chat about what happened at the end of the previous round, because when you knock
18:28your opponent down, you have to go to the furthest neutral corner.
18:31You get shown there by the referee, you have to go there, and you have to stay there.
18:36And she found it a little bit difficult to comply with that, but it was a relief at landing a
18:42solid blow.
18:43Four rounds remaining, so now the 10-8 round for Dubois.
18:47And that left hand just lands to the body again here, and she's locking on here, Caroline Dubois.
18:52I think that was the real, well, I've said it before, it was the breakthrough that Dubois needed.
18:57The confidence builder.
19:05Teddy can't let her settle here and get into a rhythm of teeing off and let them beat back hands
19:11whenever she wants.
19:12This is an important round for Harper, she's got to answer that.
19:15She needs a good round here.
19:18Dubois.
19:21Working away to the body a few seconds ago.
19:25Harper looking to try and engage with that right hand.
19:27And it brings applause from the corner, but it didn't land.
19:30That means the right idea, that's what she's got to do, she's got to let that right hand go, she
19:34can't overthink it.
19:36Doesn't need to load up, doesn't need to be any power, fast and accurate.
19:40And committed, she's got to commit.
19:46Dubois just turning around that front foot.
19:49Good left hand again there.
19:51Harper, I think, managed to half block it, but she really took those feet in nice and quick.
19:55Dubois in behind the jab and then launched that left hand again.
20:10Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
20:19We'll do it!
20:20Round seven!
20:21Round seven!
20:24One, two, two, four.
20:27Come on!
20:30Almost landing the one-two again there, Dubois.
20:32Rootful look from Harper.
20:34Let's go down, Rickside, Andy is with Clarissa Shields.
20:37Yeah, I'm with the quote. I'm interested to see how you're seeing this. Big breakthrough for Caroline round before last.
20:45Caroline was doing great before that. I think that Terry is very game and Caroline is still young.
20:52But like I said, she got some devastating power, got some quick hands and doing a great job tonight.
20:58If you're in that corner, the corner of Dubois, I should say, what is your advice at this stage?
21:04Keep doing what you're doing or is there more to come?
21:06Cut the ring off a little bit more, double and triple the jab and ask for more confidence.
21:11I feel like she's posing a little bit too much, but she's a fighter that can do that because when
21:15she lands, it's devastating.
21:18But I want her just to be a bit more active in a round and make sure that she's getting
21:22all the rounds and not letting Terry steal any.
21:25Great to see you over here. I know you were in Sky Sports News earlier in the car yesterday.
21:28Yes.
21:29Causing troubles.
21:30Thank you. Well, that's my job.
21:33Look at this.
21:34And she does it very well, to be fair to her.
21:37A phenomenal fighter, Claretta Shields.
21:39We've seen her over here.
21:42She's been unbeatable in her pro career.
21:45Nearly unbeatable in her amateur career.
21:47But for Savannah Marshall, she would have gone through that undefeated as well.
21:51So, into the eighth round here, and Du Bois is going to have to get to lead on the scorecards
21:58here.
21:59There's a bit of damage to the forehead there of Harper, just above the eyebrow.
22:05And it's running straight into the eye, that blood as well.
22:11Yeah, that was a clash of heads, but she's throwing the right hand now Harper, landed a couple of them.
22:26Right hand there from Du Bois Harper, not letting that cut distractor.
22:31It's not in a very convenient place at all.
22:33It's maybe just running down the inside of the nose there.
22:36I think that wasn't...
22:37Possibly not straight into the eye.
22:38I think that was another clash of heads, straight after.
22:46Give that hand there from Du Bois.
22:56I think the mobility of Harper, it's been difficult for Du Bois to really pin her down,
23:02because she stayed light-footed, using the feints.
23:06And she's been sharp with her own counter, so, you know, Du Bois can't just walk in on her.
23:10She's got to be careful on the way in, not to get countered.
23:13That's where we go.
23:14Good run to the brothers, and Du Bois, and then the right hand up cut,
23:18and try to get close and work Harper over a little bit.
23:23Now, can she really turn the screw in the final couple of rounds after this, Du Bois?
23:27It would be good to see if she can.
23:31That's maybe something that's been missing a little bit.
23:33People have questioned that.
23:35Her ability to accelerate deep into the fight.
23:39But there's no doubt she's got a comfortable lead after eight rounds.
23:50OK, so let's see if we can get a look and see when that cut happened.
23:56Well, that's it there.
24:05And Tasha, I think you were right.
24:06I think there was another one later in rounds.
24:21Corners, 10 seconds.
24:22I don't think you can see it from there.
24:24That's clear, but I'm pretty sure there was.
24:27Second out.
24:29Round nine.
24:31But they've got to work on that cut as best they can in that Harper corner.
24:35So into the ninth round, Caroline Du Bois in the purple, Terry Harper in the white.
24:42It's been a little bit cagey at times.
24:45They've both given each other plenty to think about, but it's been Du Bois who's been the aggressor and who
24:51bit by bit has just raised the temperature and started to dominate.
24:57I think Teddy's got no other option than to go for it, which is going to lead to mistakes that
25:03Du Bois can capitalise on.
25:09Good body shot.
25:15There's a nice left kick from Harper.
25:17Just got through on the inside as Du Bois was looking to set her feet.
25:22Another good uppercut to the body from Harper.
25:39Good shot.
25:41Good shot.
25:41Left hand there from Du Bois.
25:44Looking to try and find Loundar for the uppercut there Du Bois into the second minute of round nine.
25:49Good solid right hand from Du Bois.
25:51Again Harper trying to make something happen here.
25:57there was a good lead hook that went in there from Harper that call Caroline
26:01yeah got a credit Harper here willing to engage and stand the ground which is probably tactically
26:06isn't the best thing for her but she's kind of got no choice now she's behind on the card and
26:10she needs two big rounds so she's gambling she's standing the ground and she's trading but
26:16obviously she's also there for more to get hit more back by Dubois I think there was another clash of
26:24heads in there
26:25well the blood's coming pretty thick from that damage just above the eyebrow and as you say
26:29she's put plenty into this round Terry Harper but she's coming off second best here one round to go
26:36in this unification
26:51this is 10, this is 10, last round Terry this end is going to fucking win me
26:58what dropped to one now means football is performed amazing now listen to me
27:03compact shape nice type card sent to her ring and it's fucking, boom lift it up
27:09boom lift it up
27:11boom lift it up
27:12boom lift it up
27:12almost as far to her chest
27:1420 seconds
27:14okay
27:1530
27:17catch cower, catch cower
27:18okay
27:19come on
27:20there's a good look at this
27:21there's two minutes of bars
27:22there's not there out now
27:23there's not there out if you stay
27:24sharp
27:25come on
27:26seven times
27:27two
27:27you heard your fights in the corner
27:29Harper's corner nice and positive
27:31one of the good points from her
27:33I think they probably know that she's up against it here
27:35Shane McRiggin
27:36he wants Du Bois to not empty the tank maybe but he wants her to go looking for the knockout
27:41here
27:41he feels it
27:41it's maybe there in these two minutes if she can find the right punches
27:45well especially because Harper's going to have the clock for it now
27:47so she's
27:48that was the right hand to the body from Harper
27:50so she's going to be in range to
27:53for Du Bois to land her shots
27:55in her early doors
27:56she was controlling the distance
27:58she was a bit cagey
27:59maybe a little bit negative
28:00but it was assuming that those were the right tactics
28:02he was slowing the pace down
28:03but now
28:04she can't afford to do that Harper
28:06she has to take chances here
28:08which she should
28:09play into the hands of Du Bois
28:11the back of her
28:12Não
28:13close
28:20both of these teams shutting down the line space a bit
28:23but the right hand there it goes into
28:25good work
28:26and the corner just burzed in there forward
28:28you know good work Michael Harper
28:30w and troubling the satisf appelle up on the left hooks
28:31changed angle
28:36well this is cagey early doors
28:38but it's catching fire now.
28:40Harper having a good final round here so far as we head on to the second minute of it.
28:44Dubois with a lead right hand and then stepped off to a right.
28:47Landsat right hand again now.
28:51Good lead right hand again from Harper.
29:02Dubois just setting her feet and looking to let those hands go.
29:05Harper trying to just walk forward through those benches.
29:09You've got to be careful not to punch yourself out of it.
29:14Well, there's 20 seconds left to go. I think I've just got to go for it now.
29:27Final few seconds.
29:30And it's all British unification.
29:34Well there goes the final foul.
29:35A touch of glass between the two.
29:38Not much more than that.
29:40Harper going over to the Dubois corner.
29:42Dubois over to the Harper corner.
29:46Press the Shields looking on at rim side.
29:55The Briggins, I think, are pretty confident that this is going to go their way and it would make them
30:00right to be.
30:02It was a good fight. It was nip and tuck in the early stages.
30:05Harper gave Dubois 20 to think about.
30:08She landed some decent shots.
30:11Could have got a couple on the board through those first four rounds, five rounds.
30:15But then with the knock down that 10-8 round Dubois from that point onwards really turned the screw a
30:20bit dominated.
30:22Yeah, decent last round for Harper though.
30:24She came out.
30:25She landed that barrage of left hooks.
30:27Some lead right hands.
30:28Some body shots.
30:31When she's throwing them left up she did the right thing when she stayed on the right side.
30:35If she would have used both hands then the referee probably would have pulled her up for it.
30:39So...
30:53Dubois have an awful lot to say in the build up to this fight but often you can't take it
30:56too seriously for fighters when they make predictions and talk about knockouts and they're going to do this and they're
31:01going to do that.
31:04They've been at this too long for that.
31:06You just prepare as best you can, you get in there, you do the best you can and you adapt
31:11accordingly.
31:13At this kind of level you can't just step into the middle of the ring and throw punches apropos of
31:19nothing.
31:19You'll get slaughtered if you do that.
31:21Good left hand there from Dubois and it was a good final round, Tash.
31:24Yeah, it was.
31:26What I meant by she doesn't want to blow herself out is she didn't want to make a big mistake
31:33because Caroline was trying to load up.
31:34She was waiting for that Shane McGuigan shot to get the fight stopped.
31:39The thing is the pace...
31:42You know, as Harper stood more with Dubois, Dubois got into the... I think the knockdown was the big breakthrough,
31:48you know?
31:48100%.
31:48And then after that, Caroline kind of got the confidence that she needed and she upped her tempo, threw more
31:55punches, landed more and then towards the end of the fight, Harper realised she had to kind of engage a
32:01lot more, which then gave Dubois more opens.
32:07Still we wait.
32:09One of the things I love is obviously Clarissa is one of her biggest cheerleaders.
32:21ladies and gentlemen after 10 rounds of boxing action.
32:25we go to the scorecards.
32:27Here are the score totals.
32:28Bob Williams had it 98 to 91
32:31Robin Taylor 97 to 92
32:35Marcin Pavlak 98 to 91
32:39All in favor of your winner by unanimous decision
32:42of the new unified WBC and WBO lightweight champion of the world
32:49Sweet Caroline Duvall
32:59Who wins it to become unified champion
