00:00to chispa christian medina
00:05so the former wbo eight stone six champion with another returning
00:09from a sole loss and a long absence of 735 days away from a ring
00:17to kang wang zero time for ring rust barry
00:24not at all you gotta come up the gates quite fast here you think wang
00:32the orthodox and the southpaw
00:41takai in the predominantly black with the black boots the black gloves and the blue gloves of
00:49to kang wang from kunming in china he's three years younger at 26.
00:57both that he lost once
01:00the knockouts on the record of takai he can really punch
01:05southpaw stands about if he slides that foot on the outside and throws that left hand right down the
01:09middle you're gonna feel it
01:25he's trying to get sent to ring isn't he not quite getting his jab going but he's not
01:30overruled here by the reputation of takai and nor should he be
01:34good body shots though fast hands long levers
01:49and if i want good bit of patience here just trying to cut the ring off slowly
01:56it's okay just trying to walk him onto a shot here
02:00it's up at super bantam which is right isn't it for takai now
02:18just out of range there and he was made to pay quicker fists from the southpaw
02:25i'm not too far off though it's the right idea a little bit faster with the shots maybe but
02:30i don't have idea
02:31i think i haven't been to bed takai's winning the wrong
02:34i might do much but just enough
02:38just reaching in and out of range isn't he
02:42backhand good that was low
02:50right hand there from wang
02:56oh good work there from yashiki takai
03:00and he smiles through the gum shield very fast wasn't it
03:07lovely show took it really well
03:09i thought it was going to be good night are you then
03:15yep showed a good chin
03:17shot as well there from my yeah comes back
03:21showing he fancies this what a chance for him but one round up for yashiki takai
03:35and i thought that might be the start of the unraveling possibly from
03:43from wang we took it well we've come really quickly and looked the fire back
03:47yeah picked that well didn't he and then i think there was an uppercut that came through afterwards
03:51what is neat work from the 29 year old baby face hasn't he looks a lot younger
04:03many in the kickboxing uh world rico virhoeven of course is
04:11fighting the great olexander rusik three weeks today
04:16talking about a mountain to climb but he promises us that he will become
04:23the world heavyweight champion virhoeven in the biggest upset in sporting history
04:30we'll be there under the pyramids barry
04:42here's to kang wang in the white trunks the 26 year old in fight number 11
04:48trying to get his career back up and running after a couple of years out
04:52yashiki takai the home favorite the uh young star who was uh beaten last time but he's returning as
05:02well looking for victory number 12. a good opening round i think dramatic but just in control wasn't it
05:10i think he's moving a little bit too much to be honest i don't think it needs to be that
05:15flighty
05:16i don't think the massive pressure from wang has been better there from wang with more increased
05:22pace there and shot it's these countering punches though he's uh reading this well isn't he takai
05:28utilizing all the experience over the years in the different codes
05:34certainly when those guys who want to walk you onto the shot isn't he that's where the last one
05:38constant movement see how good his legs are former kickboxing legend
05:53looking relaxed isn't he yeah rather like um young anyway but wang's just following around a
06:00little bit in this runs i thought you sort of cut the ring off not effectively with the right
06:05i had the right idea but not not good to see michael buffer taking a seat at ringside in anticipation
06:11of
06:12the incredible fight that it is almost upon us after this don't go anywhere it may be lunchtime in the
06:22uk
06:24but you have in a way and nakatani to follow and a little shot there wang
06:32much on it yeah it's been a success but just walking on too many here yeah good hooks and a
06:38good
06:39attitude from the kang wang but the precision with yashiki takai back end of the second of eight
06:49i think i think takai needs to keep moving but i think he's just moving a little too much here
06:52okay i know it's an eight rounder just we'll tie those legs out too much
07:00they're just wading in waiting to look a bit clumsy nice solid jab from takai not doing anything
07:12too over eager he's just finding his rhythm good shot there good feet yeah lovely a couple of rounds
07:20in the bank just easing his way back isn't he
07:32okay sean davis what a fighter and they hear albright running back saturday may the 16th a lot of bad
07:41blood of course between the pair topping a stacked bill and it's the first top rank event that is live
07:49on the zone all under the umbrella can you believe it top rank golden boy queensberry and matrimon
07:57we're with eddie later on tonight all of these four titans all on the global home of boxing it's
08:05first time ever isn't it you know i mean it's a massive thing and for big fights not to happen
08:10no there is no excuse and they are happening the season happens which is uh always going to help
08:16this group the sparkles yeah i think when his excellency came in and the 5v5s and all that sort
08:22of stuff and now aj and fury seem to be made for later in the year they don't come bigger
08:28in britain
08:29of course and they don't come bigger than what we're going to see tonight in a way and nakatani so
08:36really all the christmas presents coming at once if you're a boxing fan and if you're a fighter and
08:45look he wants to get back in and amongst it doesn't he at world level yashiki takai just upping the
08:50pace
08:51here he's had a good look at dekang wang two rounds in the history books back from timeouts at september
09:01and wang well he's uh patching up this inactivity he hasn't had the momentum has he in his career the
09:08chinese fighter no not at all but um these last few wrongs here just cut not being able to cut
09:14the ring
09:15off just allowing takai just too much time to do everything or anything he wants but he's not doing
09:21a lot just enough but he's trying to walk onto a bigger shot here
09:29head and body just peppering away waiting for the moment to strike as wang comes in rather awkwardly
09:40leaving gaps there from takai he's a faint or something wang sort of like just to disguise his way in
09:50his feet are too slow and he's throwing from too far out yeah far too far out really that's where
09:58he needs him in close good right hand better when he gets up in and personal with takai remember who
10:07was
10:08stopped before and wang will fancy that and this is good work for the man from china suddenly in the
10:15third round and he's found a few punches that has filled his body full of confidence and takai looked
10:23unsteady for the first time in the fight i don't know why takai's willing to throw with him and why
10:28he
10:28would shorten that gap to even allow wang to throw but man took advantage that's good work some really
10:37good right hands on the temple there from wang that back comes takai though just uh showing his
10:46class but it's got to be a bit careful here wang that he doesn't wade in too much but he
10:53certainly
10:53had an effect on takai question the chin and there's a head clash as well is there some damage
10:59there's a bit of swelling at the top of the left eye of yoshiki takai doesn't look like anything too
11:06series but wang's up for the battle here and why not on this super stage and dance with good right
11:13hands with this strong wang really good shot so there is again it's a big round this for dukang wang
11:20takai looked like it was all in his groove but he was upset there just taken out of his stride
11:31that's what the fans want to see some action yeah i just think that takai oh it's a lovely shot
11:36there
11:37really short up a cut there from wang and the follow-up was pretty good as well a couple of
11:41good
11:42left hooks some right hands over the top and forcing takai just a hole for a second there just trying
11:47to get
11:48just regroup get his composure stop the work great there of wang good shots kept them on the corner
11:56for the first time for the cut it wrong just stopped those feet from moving
12:01well he did fall apart in the fourth round didn't he against christian medina defending his
12:07world bantamweight title i think it was for the third time
12:11so it may be that team wang feel there's some weakness there around the whiskers of yashiki takai
12:21can they continue off what was a good third round for the away fighter from china the orthodox man the
12:2926 year old in with uh yashiki takai big name in these parts back on his bike and looking to
12:38um
12:40get in and out with crisp clean work he does lift his chin up in the air doesn't he
12:47takai when he throws out the up because he is long and gets away with it because he is so
12:51long
12:51that's like those long levers is that life is a kickboxer primarily i don't know i don't really
12:57watch kickboxing what you do find quite often with kickboxing who transition to boxing is not the
13:02they haven't got the greatest of feet and he has decent feet but they all punch out because the way
13:06they
13:06sit on that back foot maybe they throw the punch because usually their feet are closer together
13:12my knowledge ends there trying to target the body one straight slightly low a couple get in though from
13:20takai who's got nine wins inside schedule he can punch and he's just trying to um take the player away
13:28from to kang wang stop him getting some authority and belief in there that he was beginning to
13:34find in the third round around of course he lost his world title no demons in the head or doesn't
13:41look
13:41like it his excellency turkey our sheet watching on from the center of the front row so this is
14:02a real chance for these fighters to impress
14:09we look how much he's watching he's studying isn't he looking for the next chess move
14:29just rolling his head there wang coming forward not as much snap in the punches of takai just reaching
14:47for them a bit he did more in the first minute and a half and wang's not really having the
14:53success
14:54at the back end either last 30 seconds of the fourth scheduled for eight good third can to kang wang
15:03come
15:08again just got back into a pattern hasn't it yeah just followed him around the ring not cutting the
15:13ring off and certainly not being able to get him in the corner but he did there though left took
15:17yeah
15:18and he has to hold on there takai just a couple of worrying moments when he gets clipped and a
15:23big
15:24gasp of breath as well for the japanese fighter he won the round but there was one or two signals
15:31there
15:31that might give team wang some hope see i don't think takai is hurt i think he's panicking when he
15:39gets caught and that might be residue from the last one maybe but i don't think he's really hurt when
15:45he gets caught with the shot it's a good shot there but in slow motion they're all like big punches
15:50i mean i'm a i'm a ko artist for some moments so i might be playing i mean but you
15:55knock down
15:56now soleno phrases and you'll always be able to say that but um i think he panics when he gets
16:03hit and
16:03i'm not sure if that's that's always been that way or whether he's fought because he got stopped in
16:07his last fight it's a bad sign because you fight your opponent sees that and they breathe of that and
16:13they encourage them to be more intense with their work and what you're going to do what you're trying
16:18to get them to be the latter and the opposite i should say and just quiet them down a little
16:23bit
16:23make me frustrate them second half super bantamweight division remember the black and white of uh yashiki
16:32takai we had the look of a future star didn't he i think with a unification clash with chinko nakatani
16:40before he ran into mexico's christian medina who's dropped heavily in the first he was stopped in the
16:47fourth round and i just wonder whether to kang wang feels there might be some reminders here
16:54there's a couple of times he's clipped him he's looked uncomfortable takai even though he's won most
16:59of the rounds yeah well wang's problem is i could shock it up because there from takai wang's problem is
17:05he takes too many punches coming up coming forward they might not be hurting him but they're scoring
17:10punches so you have to be so effective when you get close then to to even that up he's also
17:16been out
17:17of the ring two years and he's only got three knockouts on his slate maybe that's why they took
17:23the fight takai to bring him back in but only nine fights so you know you can really judge whether
17:28you
17:28can punch or not yeah but the matchmaker would have had a look at it they can't have yashiki takai
17:33losing for a second time in a row the guy's a star i think matchmakers in japan i mean this
17:38is
17:38this would be an underwhelming fight however good he is doing an eight rounder i mean they're always
17:44in 12 round fights and they're matched it's the hardest demographic and they're matched so hard
17:48i was about to say they don't get an easy one do they never
17:53and that's why the fans keep coming back and they love their boxing in japan
17:58good work from takai when he puts those combinations together he looks world class he looks like
18:05that world champion that he was you see i think the feet are important for takai the movement's
18:11important for him to get the space that throws punches and just try and get a fighter to walk
18:16onto shots at times but he moves too much and there's a lot of wasted movement there for him
18:20and that might be where the panic is he starts to tire lose a little bit of concentration now and
18:25again waste from wang as well three or four shots just missed and then he gets caught with one
18:32all that energy expended the come forward style it's got to be very frustrating when you're being
18:38nailed on the counter like that so you knew so much that guy that he's almost feety on his feet
18:46he was too much on his toes which is amazing good uppercut there nice shot that's the one you
18:55spotted earlier that you said might be in a finisher but he's kept going wang
19:02good work from takai back end of the fifth round body shot two of them going toe to toe crowd
19:08enjoying
19:09it final order before the main event and we want this crowd absolutely ready to sizzle in a few minutes
19:18it final order for the first time
19:23good action
19:28just blinks though and put a lot into it did to kang wang at the end of the fifth
19:39good three minutes yeah he thought he had in there didn't he takai i think that's what he
19:44sort of puts foot on the gas of it didn't he trying to go for it i think he landed
19:47with a lovely shot
19:47maybe a shot in other contests would have been the start of the finish but
19:53wang takes a good shot and he fires back at the pressure
19:57so the attacker is a little bit more smart when he's actually a good shot
20:00use that as a movement to get long again he can be more aggressive
20:04just punch from a little bit with a longer way further way out a bit longer with the shots
20:13and kiri yagashi in the corner
20:20takai
20:26both of them just over 121 pounds it's the move up for
20:31yashiki takai into this uh eight stone ten division it's a lot of moving tonight gliding
20:39around the edges of the squared circle and put in some good combinations winning rounds but
20:46not everything his way and there's been moments for the kang wang
20:52but he is being out boxed and outclassed and that's lovely from takai
20:57he takes it and again there on the button and again makes him exciting oh hang on
21:04he did feel that and back goes wang body shot i think heard him backed up in the red corner
21:12this could be takai's moment he's heavy handed and he fancies it now there's less from de kang wang
21:19fighting back though wang he's brave isn't he he's trying his best in there
21:26but when he's being backed up this is where yashiki takai wants him
21:31just got to be careful he doesn't punch himself out here takai
21:35or walk under a shot here but either some of the shots have caught bang me
21:42yeah that left eye is bad of de kang wang but full credit to him
21:54he looks shattered though middle of the sixth round the man from china can takai take advantage
22:05he's got his man hurt he's got him where he wants him can he add the sparkle that right hand
22:14though of wang
22:15still a danger and you wonder whether these world super bantamweights are going to be looking at
22:20yashiki takai and thinking okay he's good he's classy but he does get caught yeah he's got a bit of
22:27power
22:27but he makes too many mistakes and unforced errors i would call them that are top class
22:33to the back maybe we go like look i'll catch if i catch him he's not getting like
22:40i can work off that he's a bit too flaky on his feet i think more than he needs to
22:45be
22:45he'll get himself in trouble at the higher level i think he's a long way from the two pound for
22:49powders
22:50that we're about to see you can include those different level different stage of there's very
22:59good world champions and then there's the elite there are the ones that come around once or twice
23:06in a generation and look at this from de kang wang he's not done yet these right hands and i
23:13think takai
23:13might be vulnerable around the chin area tired suddenly looks tired i asked the question would
23:23he punch himself out everything going his way and there's a very weary look as he goes back to his
23:29corner on top he looks the part but being backed up is what fighting's all about can he take it
23:36as well
23:37and come back where's the resilience we're about to find out barry yeah see i don't think he has a
23:43problem with his whiskers it's the fatigue that's making him that makes him look weak he makes too
23:48many unforced errors mistakes that that are not forced upon him and standing up tall close to the
23:55target asking for trouble you haven't been able to and also not be able to think on your feet you
23:59whacked the guy with some really good shots in all around he hasn't moved and then you caught you
24:04catch him with a good shot you go for it and you've got to be thinking hang on i haven't
24:08heard this guy
24:08let's see let's see a movement before i really go for it and you haven't
24:16so wang's gonna just go for it to kang wang has got to throw utter caution to the wind in
24:22front of 55 000
24:24people in the tokyo dome will never have a better opportunity his excellency and the whole world
24:31watching preparing ourselves for the super fight to follow the kang wang stand up and go for it and
24:40as for yashiki takai he's got to get back to his boxing quick sharp and utilize the feet
24:50get that southpaw style working for him again he's up in the fight but at this stage you can
24:56ill afford another bad round yeah you know he's a bit of five but i think yeah you gotta regain
25:01that
25:01dominance that's all you punch on in and out with the feet punching on probably four to two
25:11good work from takai catching the eyes and the judges but he's pausing for a second the throw the
25:17punch that's the difference he has success he does punch off the move quite well and i know he generates
25:22powerful but i don't know because he's on his toes but what he did just a second ago he held
25:25his feet
25:26just to throw the punch then moves again now that's using your feet effectively
25:31talk about these hard matches in japanese boxing this is no gimme is it for yashiki takai
25:39to count wang with nine victories in his ten fights and he badly wants uh another one he hasn't got
25:45the
25:45skill set and the class of takai but he makes up for it in uh punches in bunches bundling his
25:56way
25:56forward and he's caught takai so he knows he can hurt him resilience look at this look it was a
26:04good
26:04role he was knackered one either on before what a good drone could do for you shot losing this round
26:10line line with the appraisal he is getting all boxed again in this round for me
26:18this is important though for takai keeping that concentration
26:21which is focused gets caught with the shot he shouldn't get caught with that far yes technically
26:29very capable but on the receiving end of a few too many for comfort tonight yashiki takai yes he's
26:37been out of the ring a long time but so is to kang wang even longer
26:47just falling in a bit takai first couple of rounds he looked like he was boxing
26:54superbly well doing enough to to win this fight but i'm not sure he's doing enough to
27:05show he's going to become a world champion again at this way not eating up these right
27:09hands like this he's just giving wang so much encouragement that's forcing the energy
27:15out bank to really really make you make you work hard wang's the one with the eye damage he's the
27:21one
27:21that's behind on the cards but he's the one who's less hurt
27:28and he looks exhausted doesn't he he's gonna be he's taking shots unnecessary at times big shots that
27:34drain your engine and he's and his legs are way too active for what he needs to do too much
27:39wasted
27:39movement here from takai throughout the fight by the way and a lack of concentration more than anything
27:44else i think is what is what for me has given the massively resilience i would say just a little
27:51bit
27:51of glimmer of hope at times in the rounds big smile as well on the face of uh de kang
28:01wang
28:03meanwhile galal yafi gets his first shot at a world title saturday june the 6th taking on ricardo
28:11sandoval in sheffield that's the world flyweight title on the line the green and gold wbc accolade
28:20part of your regular disowned subscription that's june the 6th june the 20th st mary's for ryan garner
28:28as the summer heats up but it's all to come in may and it's all to come still ahead here
28:36your lunchtime
28:37super show from japan wolverhampton later in the evening and then the early hours if you're watching
28:45from the uk in america of course it will be prime time as uh benavidez and ramirez go at it
28:52and these
28:53two are in the final round takai and wang it's been a good watch so far the action from japan
28:59yeah the
29:00last few rounds where takai's just unraveled a little bit and wang's really come on strong isn't
29:06he didn't win the last round but again he's making takai have to think more than he wants to making
29:11him
29:11work hard and making him i think takai's used to hitting people and they either stay hit
29:17or they retreat and they lack a bit of confidence they get hurt wang has walked through everything
29:22i think the team will be slightly concerned about the way he's lacked energy and just fallen apart
29:27as the rounds have gone on here takai to kang wang's got a couple of minutes to make a big
29:34name for
29:35himself as these right hands come in and takai has just got to somehow hold on he's looking up at
29:41the clock barry there's no defense his defense is his feet his movement his hands are up but they're like
29:48they're like token gestures a worrying watch for team takai they just want to get him over the line
29:55here a minute and a half we don't know how the judges are seeing it we think takai will be
30:00in front
30:00but takai wang has won certainly some of these rounds there's bruises under the eyes but he's put
30:07everything into it to kang wang he might need the knockout though yeah i think he does definitely
30:13he's made him work hard and i think this is hard and nice has it wrong than anybody thought it
30:18would
30:19give a great entertainment just before the main event oh another right hand wang's got a minute can
30:29he find the punches to finish off yashiki tak how you feel barry if it was a 10 rounder tak
30:35i might not
30:36get through it maybe not he's sure a good chip mine's that guy he's done some big shots here and
30:41wang went off here a devastated puncher but there's plenty of weight on no shots that's for sure great
30:47effort from dakang wang yashiki takai has impressed in parts in cameos but i wonder what the team's
30:55gonna think about his physicality his endurance his defense maybe he's gotta
31:02it sits still at times there's a lot of movement it's a good shot the movement but there's gotta be
31:10a reason for the movement and sometimes there's not this is good work though from takai late on it's
31:15been a fantastic round to end what's been a good eight rounder a really decent fight in the super
31:22bouncer white division to kang wang has given it everything he's probably run out of time yashiki takai
31:31both of them need a sit down barry and i think we do yeah they did they both i think
31:37for takai there
31:38was a harder night than he thought firstly after the the first round i think he thought he would have
31:42been in for an easier night than he turned out to be but it is what it is isn't it
31:49i mean sometimes
31:49i mean he's got to just know understand why he's doing stuff i think for me for takai understand why
31:55he
31:55moves what's the what's the point of that movement if it if it's not going to be cost effective or
31:59it's not for a reason to land with a good shot having good feet and being nimble on his feet
32:03which he can be is quite important but i don't think he moves a lot but sometimes gets himself
32:08the trouble with that and every now and again he did very rarely he sat down on a shot throw
32:15one
32:15two down the middle and then then he moves and that's what he needs to do move stop punch move
32:21stop
32:22punch in that in that sort of rhythm and and also knowing who you're up against wang obviously he
32:28landed a bit big shots and wang didn't move you got to sometimes think i need to reassess how i'm
32:33going to go about this fight now i think it's a guy who can take a shot and and not
32:37go for it like
32:37he did in one round when he knack he tied himself out until the guy's shown signs of maybe he
32:43is hurt
33:06it's close
33:18when he gets over the line Yashiki Taka it was level on one of the cards but he gets victory
