00:00Okay, gentlemen, you both received instructions addressing them.
00:03Obey my command at all times, protect yourself at all times.
00:06Here, on up is good. Here, on up is good.
00:09How's it going out? Good luck to you both.
00:10Tito Sanchez has already tasted success against Chavez, winning a close amateur bout.
00:16Tito's looking to avenge his stablemate, Manuel Flores' loss to Chavez,
00:20who is making his first appearance in Las Vegas.
00:25This is the moment where prospects become contenders, not just by winning, but by how they win.
00:32Two undefeated 122-pounders, and they are off here with round number one scheduled for ten.
00:40And, Mo, that amateur fight between them from February of 2018 still holds some meaning to both fighters.
00:47Chavez said simply after losing a split decision in that fight,
00:50I've had nightmares ever since. Every day I wake up and do what I have to do to prepare for
00:55this moment,
00:55we knew we would square off again sooner or later.
00:59So tonight, on the professional ranks, we find out who has the upper hand.
01:04And in looking at tape, Abner, we ascertain that if Chavez can't make Sanchez hesitate,
01:11that Sanchez will come forward with pressure.
01:13But if Chavez's counters land early, they can disrupt the rhythm.
01:18And once the respect is gone, then we've got futuristic biotechnics.
01:23Yeah, then we've got to fight that without no doubt.
01:25And, yeah, that's a smart pressure we want to see from Chavez.
01:28There it is. Not getting in too close, but at the right distance.
01:31And letting his hands go, keeping Chavez busy.
01:34Good job right now from Sanchez.
01:36This thing is going to heat up, I'm telling you.
01:40Sanchez arrived the hard way.
01:42No headlines.
01:43An old-school fighter with discipline, structure, and style rooted in fundamentals.
01:50Trained by Joel Diaz.
01:53Chavez trained by Hector Lopez.
01:57Sanchez's style is also rooted in output.
01:59He once threw over 1,000 punches in a 10-round unanimous decision win over Walter Santibanes in 2023.
02:06Who does he think he is? Ismael Flores?
02:12Tactical start to the fight, Abner.
02:15Really tactical, and this benefits without no doubt Chavez.
02:18The boxing abilities, the mobile movement, footwork, the jab from Chavez.
02:23And, of course, Sanchez has got to be looking and cutting off the ring, something that he's not doing.
02:27He's just standing in front of Chavez.
02:29On a day where we saw Noya Inoue remain undisputed champion at 1.22 in the biggest fight in Japanese
02:38history against Junto Nakatani.
02:40We have a couple of youngsters who hope to one day be in a similar place.
02:44This is the right platform to jump through the TV screen of awaiting boxing fans and make your mark.
02:54Chavez along the ropes, Sanchez going to the body.
02:5830 seconds left in the first round.
03:13Body shot there for Chavez.
03:16Chavez with a body shot.
03:18I think I've heard that before.
03:2010 seconds left in the first frame.
03:27And we will hear what Hector Lopez thinks about Jorge Chavez's start to this fight.
03:43Stay off the ropes.
03:45Keep him in the middle.
03:46Just keep giving him a boxing clinic.
03:48I got you right.
03:49No camiez nada.
03:51He's slow, Wade.
03:52There's no reason for you to stand in front of him.
03:54Hit and move.
03:55Head and move.
03:55He's coming, walking straight in.
03:57No head moving.
03:58Just throw your fucking jab.
03:59Okay?
03:59You'll land it every time, Wade.
04:01How do you feel?
04:02Good start, Wade.
04:03Good start.
04:03Beautiful start.
04:04He wants you in those closed areas, okay?
04:07Control the distance.
04:08You control the fight.
04:09Pretty simple, fucker, right?
04:12Maso, that's in.
04:13Another one.
04:16That's right.
04:16Nerves are over.
04:17Let's go.
04:18First round's over.
04:18It's the hardest one.
04:19Get that shit out of the way.
04:21Go away.
04:21Control the distance.
04:22Jab.
04:22We heard from Hector Lopez.
04:24Meanwhile, Joel Diaz is telling Sanchez not to get careless.
04:29As we begin round number two.
04:37And Chavez told us that he wants to prove a point that Mexican fighters don't just come forward.
04:43They can think, adapt, and break you down.
04:45And I think that's what we're also going to see in that main event from the cruiserweight champ,
04:49No question, and that echoes what Chavez's corner wants.
04:53Not to take chances, work behind that jab, make Sanchez pay for his aggressiveness.
04:58And I don't see why you're the better boxer.
05:00You got the more abilities than they use them.
05:03And we're seeing them from Chavez switching his stance right there.
05:06Again, just being mobile and not giving Sanchez any opportunities.
05:12Sanchez fighting for the second time in Sin City.
05:16First time in four and a half years.
05:19Nice body shot by Chavez.
05:25Right hand to the body by Sanchez.
05:28They're at close quarters.
05:29And Sanchez ripped a left hook to the body, then went upstairs.
05:32Yeah, Sam said Sanchez seems determined to not only get inside against his longer opponent,
05:37but to give what he said at the press conference this week,
05:39what the fans paid for in all-out Mexican-style war.
05:46Yeah, Sanchez has to keep...
05:48Huevos just got scrambled.
05:50What are you saying there, Abner?
05:52I was going to say Sanchez has to stay mentally strong
05:55because he might lose his first couple of three, yeah, two, three rounds.
05:59But, you know, he's got to stay in there.
06:00He's got to keep putting that pressure and break down the body to Chavez.
06:05There it is.
06:06This is Sanchez's first fight in 99 days.
06:10Stopped Jesus, Eduardo Ramirez, Rubio in the sixth round.
06:13Scored two knockdowns in the fifth, the body shots,
06:16then stopped him in the sixth with a left uppercut, right cross.
06:19He stopped four of his last six opponents, and Sanchez is on the attack here.
06:24That's a sneaky right uppercut that Sanchez just landed flush.
06:27And a right chopping right hand, but here comes Chavez.
06:30So things are cooking with less than a minute left in the second.
06:34Didn't take long to go from percolation to full boil.
06:37Definitely did, and a good job from Sanchez not giving up going forward.
06:41And he knows that he's got to turn this fight into a dogfight if he wants
06:45and if he's going to get in the fight.
06:48Well, Chavez's corner might want him to box as he eats a big right hand there,
06:52but he said to expect a war.
06:54Chavez said expect fireworks in this one.
06:57And Chavez is not a bad brawler either.
06:59When he fights in the inside, he's effective.
07:01He told us that he can brawl if we need that,
07:05but he said distinctly he wanted to prove a point.
07:08I don't think that point's going to be proven
07:10because these two are going toe-to-toe.
07:13Sanchez, a very good inside fighter,
07:15showing that tight guard, letting those uppercuts and hooks go.
07:24We are through two rounds of this 122-pound encounter
07:29and coming up in the main event,
07:33the biggest fight size-wise in Mexican history
07:36and of Mexican and Ecuadorian descent,
07:40none other than El Monstro David Benavidez
07:43with his team making their way inside T-Mobile Arena
07:47where he's going to headline for the first time
07:50on Cinco de Mayo weekend.
07:52A man who was undefeated as a two-time 168-pound champion,
07:56moved up to 175 and proved that he has his speed
08:00and power in his last fight against Anthony Yard.
08:03And now he's moving up 25 pounds in chase of history,
08:08trying to become the first fighter to ever hold major titles
08:11at 168, 175, and 200 pounds.
08:16It's a family affair for the Benavidez clan
08:19and David Benavidez looking to make history
08:22against Gilberto Ramirez in our main event
08:25for Ramirez's Unified Cruiserweight Championship.
08:31And we begin round three, scheduled for 10.
08:34And immediately Sanchez again in pursuit of Chavez
08:38using lateral movement up against the ropes, though.
08:41There's a cuffing left hook by Chavez.
08:45Sanchez did a much better round last round,
08:49getting inside, letting his power be felt,
08:52making this less of a boxing match
08:54and more of a give-and-take.
08:56Yeah, this is a Sanchez that when he gets inside,
08:59he is a fighter that knows how to work
09:01and use the advantage inside.
09:03He's not a fighter that,
09:04okay, I got in, what do I do now?
09:06He is an inside fighter, beautiful uppercuts,
09:08body shots.
09:09Now working with the jab and beginning to have success,
09:12turning Sanchez and picking him off with the jab,
09:15followed up with the right hand,
09:17but Sanchez again going to the body.
09:19It's the footwork by Sanchez to consistently cut him off.
09:22Needs to slow down Chavez.
09:25And there's a right uppercut on the inside by Chavez,
09:28but Chavez darting in and out,
09:30using angles, using his footwork.
09:32Sanchez wants to sap that energy by targeting the body.
09:41Abner, did you ever end up fighting an amateur rival
09:43on the pro level?
09:44I fought two of them.
09:46Yeah, Johnny Perez being one of them
09:49my fault three times in the amateur.
09:51Oh, oh my God.
09:52Left to hook upstairs by Sanchez.
09:54Chavez comes back with the right,
09:56but a hard shot by Tito Sanchez.
10:04Yeah, so fought a few,
10:05but, you know, totally different in the pros than the amateurs.
10:12Yeah, Sanchez getting in a lot more comfortable on the inside.
10:15Body shot by Sanchez.
10:21So far, Sanchez making Felix Trinidad happy,
10:24living up to the Tito nickname.
10:26It's also showing some good defense on the inside,
10:28even though he's in punching range.
10:29Oh, it's like a big overhand ride right there, Chavez.
10:36He's got to control it now.
10:38He's got to control this tempo.
10:39He's getting,
10:39letting Sanchez get in too comfortable,
10:41and, you know, he's getting,
10:43taking big shots, Chavez.
10:44It doesn't look like Sanchez fears the power coming back from Chavez.
10:48Right uppercut on the inside left.
10:50So they are toe-to-toe right now,
10:52exchanging punches.
10:54Sanchez with the better of the exchange,
10:56but Chavez goes to the body with the right hand.
10:58Left hook, right uppercut by Chavez.
11:00Left hook by Chavez upstairs.
11:02So close encounter,
11:04the 122-pound kind.
11:06The body-punching bonanza this round.
11:17Our good friend Raul Marquez would say a buffet.
11:23And he and I have been to a few buffets.
11:26Sure.
11:26We are through three rounds here in Las Vegas.
11:31Competitive 122-pound encounter.
11:34Will the main event be competitive?
11:36The odds makers say that this man,
11:39the unified cruiserweight champion,
11:40is a big underdog,
11:42and, well, he's taken umbrage to that.
11:44He's all business.
11:45Gilberto Ramirez,
11:46he's the man who holds two of the belts at 200 pounds.
11:49He was the first Mexican to win a 168-pound title,
11:54the first Mexican to become a cruiserweight champion,
11:57and he is here to derail the David Benavidez Express.
12:03Known for his volume,
12:05known for his power,
12:06and really growing into a full-blown cruiserweight.
12:104-0 at this weight class.
12:12Coming off a win over former champion,
12:14Juniel Doherty Coase,
12:15but it's been a long layoff for the 34-year-old,
12:18and we have seen signs of him slowing down a bit,
12:21especially in that Doherty Coase fight.
12:23He is recovering from shoulder surgery last summer as well,
12:26but this is a huge opportunity on Cinco de Mayo for Zerto
12:30to continue the run he's on.
12:33In nine fights tracked by CompuBox,
12:36Soray Sanchez had never been hit by more than 12 body punches in a round,
12:41but, or excuse me,
12:43Chavez Sanchez has done this in both rounds two and three,
12:46so he's really going downstairs to the body effectively.
12:49Making these rounds very difficult to score as well.
12:53Yeah, some close rounds,
12:55but, you know, you're Chavez.
12:58You can't make this fight get emotional,
13:00and you've got to fight like you usually fight in the outside.
13:03You can't let Chavez in too comfortable.
13:08At some point, he's going to have to discipline Sanchez with that right hand.
13:12Nice body work there from Sanchez.
13:20Clean right hand there from Chavez.
13:23See, and when he gets that reach,
13:24that distance, the jab,
13:26part of him with that jab, Chavez,
13:28the distance, the right hand,
13:29the body work there,
13:30grab, turn him,
13:31and start all over.
13:32Have him reset.
13:38A little more defense from Chavez.
13:41Throws a couple of lefts on the right.
13:43Now sits down on a one-two.
13:44Nice right uppercut left hook combo by Chavez.
13:48That's his fight.
13:49Keep turning them.
13:52There you go, there you go.
13:53Sanchez going downstairs,
13:54then firing off a couple of left hands upstairs.
13:59Chavez almost showing signs of tempting the shoulder roll defense.
14:03Chavez has really found his range this round.
14:06You can see his confidence booming.
14:07Yeah, bouncing up and down.
14:10Finding his rhythm.
14:12Definitely is that the rhythm,
14:14the balance,
14:15the one-two sidesteps.
14:17But there it is.
14:17He falls into
14:18a war where he doesn't,
14:20he shouldn't be.
14:26Sanchez throwing a lot more.
14:29Landing a little bit more than Chavez in this round so far.
14:32But Chavez has had a good round,
14:34but here comes Sanchez.
14:35And now Chavez replies.
14:36Less than a minute left in the fourth.
14:39See some blood coming from the nose of Sanchez
14:42after those exchanges.
14:49Uppercut on the inside by Sanchez
14:51and a chopping right hand.
14:53Defense beginning to diminish on both parties
14:57as this fight continues to warm up.
15:0030 seconds left in the fourth.
15:03And there's Sanchez and Soppa momentarily.
15:06One thing Chavez has done a great job this round
15:08is not moving backwards.
15:10Standing firm in the center of the ring,
15:11making Sanchez pay for coming forward.
15:15Hit him with a right hand.
15:16Another lead right by Chavez.
15:21Lead right hand by Sanchez,
15:24but a counter left hook by Chavez lands
15:26and another left hook lands upstairs
15:27for Jose,
15:29or make that Jorge Chavez.
15:37He's getting tired, all right?
15:41Okay, you took his best way.
15:43Okay, but you see when you box way,
15:44you make it much easier.
15:46All right.
15:47Why don't you spit this out?
15:48Esper it all out.
15:49Cesar, grab it.
15:49Esper it all out.
15:51How do you feel, güey?
15:52I got it, I got it.
15:54How do you feel?
15:55How do you feel, güey?
15:56Good.
15:58How do you feel?
15:59How do you feel, güey?
16:00When you boxers, güey?
16:01So here's Chavez getting comfortable
16:02with that right hand,
16:03moving and popping with that right hand.
16:05And that's what he has to do
16:07if he wants to make this fight
16:08a lot easier for him.
16:09Counterpunch.
16:12Have Sanchez walk in,
16:13catch him with the right hand.
16:14One single shot, that's all it takes.
16:16Hold, turn him.
16:17Make it a lot easier for your Chavez.
16:19If you hit him,
16:21take it again,
16:22pull it off.
16:22On that rack,
16:23on that counter, okay?
16:25Let's go.
16:28Let's go.
16:29Let's go.
16:30Let's go.
16:30Let's go.
16:30Let's go.
16:31The bell in round at number five,
16:34scheduled for 10 at 1.22,
16:36and they immediately convene
16:39in the center of the ring
16:40and start chucking leather.
16:41Chavez coming out aggressively,
16:43as does Sanchez.
16:46And our unofficial scorecard,
16:48Larry Hazard,
16:49has Chavez up by two points.
16:53Numbers tell a different story,
16:55but the numbers don't tell all the story.
16:58One question about it.
17:00Chavez finds himself in the corner.
17:03Sanchez lets him out.
17:06Sanchez working for the southpaw stance
17:09to start this round.
17:21A little double left hand
17:22by Sanchez on the inside,
17:24just missed with a right uppercut
17:26on the inside.
17:27But there are
17:29a couple of Golden State Gladiators
17:32of close quarters here.
17:34One minute gone in the fifth.
17:36Now this trying to stand his ground
17:37once again on the inside,
17:38pushing Sanchez off,
17:40landing a nice right uppercut
17:43in the midst of that.
17:45Imposing the will
17:46and the skill,
17:48trying to dictate the terms.
17:49But Sanchez fires
17:50a couple of left hands
17:51and then Chavez
17:52goes over the top
17:53with the right hand.
17:54Yeah, nice overhand
17:55right from Chavez.
17:56But these are moments
17:57in this position
17:58where Chavez shouldn't be at.
17:59That's the boxing abilities
18:00that he has.
18:02You know,
18:02when you have that,
18:03use them in your favor.
18:04There it is.
18:05One, two.
18:05Head movement.
18:07Get that balance
18:07and that rhythm again
18:08of your Chavez.
18:12Good shots there
18:14for Sanchez.
18:14Left hand landed flush
18:15for Sanchez
18:17as he tries to disrupt
18:19Chavez's rhythm.
18:21Oh, and another shot.
18:23Popped his head back.
18:24Oh, just missed
18:24with that sweeping left hook
18:25but landed the right.
18:27Chavez gets tacked
18:28with a couple of left hands.
18:30Chavez has been down
18:31once in his career.
18:34Oh, he's feeling that pressure
18:35for that Sanchez
18:36giving him right now.
18:37I'm just not letting him breathe.
18:39He's having great success
18:40from Southpaw stance
18:41is Tito Sanchez.
18:43Now pushed to the ropes
18:45by Chavez.
18:46Let's see if Chavez
18:46makes him pay.
18:49Leaning in.
18:53But it's Sanchez
18:54with a little more
18:55steam on his shots.
18:58Yes, this was a right uppercut.
19:00Chavez's mother
19:00in his office right there.
19:02Turned around by Sanchez.
19:03Swinging wildly.
19:06Sanchez is dictating
19:07the turns here.
19:08This could get dangerous
19:08for Chavez.
19:11Just knocked
19:12Chavez off balance
19:13momentarily with the right.
19:15But Chavez's hands are low.
19:19He's heating up
19:20a lot more, guys.
19:21This is a good round
19:22for Sanchez.
19:24Copped Chavez
19:25trying to close it.
19:26Sanchez has almost
19:27thrown a hundred punches
19:29and actually does
19:31throw a hundred and one
19:32punches in round five.
19:41You're taking this fight,
19:43hey, listen.
19:46You gotta have him
19:47closer, though.
19:48Are you tired?
19:51I don't want

19:53every single round
19:53for them.

20:42total punches
20:43in round five,
20:43both even,
20:44but you see
20:45a higher connect
20:46rate for Chavez.
20:49See how Sanchez
20:50responds.
20:51It was probably
20:52his best round
20:52last time out,
20:53controlled the terms
20:54of it,
20:55and then Joel Diaz
20:56in the corner
20:56saying,
20:57he's there for you,
20:58go after him,
20:59it's open.
21:02And he is.
21:03I mean,
21:03Chavez is right
21:04there for Sanchez.
21:05Oh, another right
21:06hand lands upstairs
21:06for Sanchez.
21:08And Chavez
21:09leaning forward
21:10could be susceptible
21:12to an uppercut
21:13or two.
21:14Giving up his
21:17his one-inch
21:19height advantage.
21:19He's fighting short
21:20here,
21:21and he's playing
21:22with fire,
21:22I think,
21:22on the inside
21:23like that.
21:24No jab
21:25from Chavez
21:25is staying
21:25on the inside
21:26and it definitely
21:27favors Sanchez.
21:29Nice fighting shot
21:30by Sanchez.
21:34Sanchez
21:34working
21:35diligently.
21:37Nice uppercut
21:39that he
21:39slipped through
21:40the guard of
21:41Chavez there.
21:42Nice fight.
21:42Nice shot.
21:45Sanchez,
21:45good punch placement,
21:46good punch variety,
21:48good tempo.
21:50Chavez is not
21:51going to use
21:52that reach.
21:52Sanchez is going
21:53to take advantage.
21:54Yep.
21:54Better rhythm
21:55for Sanchez
21:56in this round
21:56again.
22:00Good body
22:01work as well.
22:02I mean,
22:03he's taking it
22:04to Chavez
22:04in this round.
22:14I'll tell you
22:15who likes
22:15a good high
22:16output fight
22:16like this.
22:17Former world
22:17champion,
22:18Juan Diaz,
22:19who's ringside
22:20this evening.
22:21Pride of Texas.
22:23is a baby
22:27ball.
22:28Baby bull
22:29deals.
22:30What a boy.
22:34Last minute
22:35of the sixth round
22:38and against
22:39Sanchez
22:40with high
22:40output
22:41just crashed
22:42the 90 punch
22:43total for the
22:44sixth,
22:44threw 103
22:45in the fifth
22:47and Chavez
22:48was no slight.
22:49She threw 81
22:49punches in the last
22:50round,
22:51down to 54
22:52in this round.
22:53So moving
22:54Chavez's offense
22:56a bit of Sanchez
22:57with his pressure
22:58and his output.
23:00And again,
23:01he hits Chavez
23:03in the face.
23:03Chavez fighting
23:04the wrong fight here.
23:05Oh, yeah,
23:05giving it up
23:06any potential
23:08advantage
23:09just the way
23:09he's leaning in.
23:12And he's getting
23:13tagged upstairs
23:14and downstairs.
23:15I think the pressure
23:16is too much
23:17for Sanchez.
23:18Too much pressure
23:19from Sanchez
23:20to Chavez
23:20and he can't
23:21say that.
23:21Holy moly!
23:23130 punches
23:24thrown by Sanchez
23:26make it
23:29138!
23:31Wow!
23:3443 of 140.
23:37Sanchez!
23:38these guys are
23:38looking to break
23:39CompuBox records
23:40off and down
23:41this card tonight!
23:43We're going to get
23:44some of those points
23:44back.
23:45You're a little tired?
23:47Hey!
23:48This shit's hard, right?
23:49We got here for a reason.
23:50Show me
23:51the fuck if you want
23:52the dog.
23:52I want that fucker
23:53to come on out.
23:54Smart.
23:55Don't fight
23:55with your fucking
23:56balls, Wayne.
23:57Use your fucking head.
23:58Two shots,
23:58lean on,
23:59push him,
23:59and follow him.
24:00Don't just stand there
24:01after you land
24:02your two shots.
24:03Okay?
24:07It's the kind of night
24:08where the CompuBox
24:09employees could develop
24:10carpal tunnel syndrome.
24:12Deep breath.
24:14Set on your punches.
24:15I can't make you keep
24:15away.
24:16Okay?
24:16I want you to load up
24:17a little bit more.
24:18If you want to take it
24:19here too.
24:20Slow down.
24:20Take it here.
24:21You understand?
24:22You know what I'm saying?
24:23Okay.
24:24Give him a fucking
24:24hard one.
24:29Get round seven.
24:31Seven?
24:32Round number seven,
24:33and Chavez has been hit
24:36with more body punches
24:38than in any one of his
24:39previous fights,
24:40and it's all Tito Sanchez.
24:43Statistically speaking,
24:45according to our unofficial
24:46score, Larry Hazard,
24:48he has it dead even
24:49at 57-57.
24:51How do you see it,
24:52Chris Mannix and Joe Goosen?
24:54Yeah, I got it right
24:54along those lines.
24:56Fights start to slip away
24:57from Chavez a little bit.
24:58BC, I think you said it
24:59right.
25:00The style of fight
25:01is not really fitting
25:02Jorge Chavez at this
25:03moment.
25:04He's kind of a chameleon
25:05in the ring.
25:05I was led his last two
25:06fights against Manuel
25:07Flores.
25:08He can mix up the styles
25:09and fight different ways.
25:10Right now, I think the
25:11kind of fight in the
25:12phone booth stuff, Joe,
25:13just isn't really
25:14working for Chavez.
25:15No, and in my notes,
25:16it's funny, I just
25:17looked at him to make
25:18sure.
25:18He said, good legs,
25:19very slick, moves well,
25:21and it's exactly what he
25:22hasn't been doing in the
25:23past couple of rounds.
25:25So, you know,
25:26obviously the inside
25:27belongs to Sanchez
25:29right now,
25:30especially when he's
25:31left-handed.
25:31He switches really nicely
25:32in there,
25:33but he's got the more
25:34shorter, accurate punches
25:35in there.
25:36And I think he's just
25:37outworking Chavez on the
25:40inside here and having
25:41his way.
25:42And again, Chavez is
25:45hanging in the pit there
25:47and he shouldn't be.
25:48He should be trying to
25:49box a little bit more.
25:49I think he'd have a
25:50little bit more success.
25:52All right, gentlemen,
25:53thank you very much.
25:54Almost midway through the
25:55seventh round and it
25:57continues to be the output
25:59of Tito Sanchez.
26:03Yeah, like Joe say,
26:04he's definitely outworking
26:05Chavez in this fight.
26:07Sanchez, a lot of pressure,
26:08a lot of punches thrown.
26:10A few missed,
26:11but the more you throw,
26:12the more you're going to
26:12land.
26:14Chavez's trainer,
26:14Hector Lopez,
26:15really called him out,
26:17said, fight smart,
26:18fight with your head,
26:19not with those levels.
26:23And because he knows,
26:25he knows he's got the
26:25abilities to box him,
26:27you know, but again,
26:28he's Chavez tiring now.
26:35Final minute of the
26:36seventh, Chavez on the
26:38ropes, eats a couple of
26:40shots from Sanchez,
26:42vacates the territory,
26:44throws the lead right
26:44hand, hands are low for
26:46Chavez.
26:49And he continues to be
26:53hit, not dictating
26:55anything with a jab,
26:56not even trying to set up
26:57a jab.
26:58You know,
26:58Joe Goosa made a great
26:59point about the idea here
27:00that Sanchez going
27:01southpaw more often.
27:03I think it's taking away
27:04the jab of Chavez.
27:05It's allowing him to get
27:06inside better and
27:08astute.
27:10You know,
27:11the analyzation from a
27:12great smelling man there
27:13in the Hall of Famer,
27:14Joe Goosa.
27:17Sanchez continues to unload on Chavez.
27:20Caught him flush to the face
27:23and Sanchez pouring it on now.
27:26Chavez hands are down,
27:28leans in trying to
27:29clinch.
27:32Another great round for Tito Sanchez.
27:36We need these two rounds right.
27:38You're letting him steal the
27:39rounds way.
27:41How are we feeling,
27:42way?
27:42Hey, how bad are you on the
27:43way, fucker?
27:45This is it, way.
27:45We've got to get these last
27:47two rounds.
27:47What round are we in?
27:48Eight.
27:49The last three rounds.
27:52Hey, we need these rounds
27:53now.
27:53Now I need you to fucking dig
27:55deep.
27:55I want you to hook up your
27:57fucking right hand,
27:58You're landing the right
27:59hand.
28:00I need to hook up it.
28:01Just touch him on the
28:02brass hook up it, way.
28:03Sit down on your punches
28:04more.
28:05Okay, you're letting
28:06agarra mucha confianza.
28:08Hey, wait.
28:09He's coming forward.
28:09You've got to feint him a
28:10little bit.
28:10See, no?
28:11Show him a feint and go.
28:12Feint and go, okay?
28:14We need these rounds,
28:16way.
28:16We need them really bad,
28:17okay?
28:18Shit's too close, way.
28:19Way too close.
28:22Show me some of these
28:23last three rounds.
28:24We need these three rounds,
28:25fucker, all right?
28:26Sense of urgency in the
28:29Chavez corner from
28:30trainer Hector Lopez.
28:35Exclaiming that we need
28:36these three rounds, and
28:37yet it's Sanchez again
28:39putting on the pressure.
28:42Walking down Chavez, who's
28:44bouncing up and down, but
28:46unable to really get on
28:48track, Abner.
28:49Yeah, and that's going to
28:49tire Chavez a lot more
28:51doing all of that.
28:53Just pointing around, but
28:54he's not throwing anything.
28:55And our unofficial score,
28:57Larry Hazard, is given
28:59Sanchez the last three rounds,
29:01now has him up by a point
29:03over Chavez in this battle
29:04of undefeated 122
29:07pounders.
29:07This may end up coming
29:08down to some of those
29:09early rounds, which were
29:10very close, where both
29:12fighters had success.
29:15There it is.
29:15You've got to stay in the
29:16center of the ring if you're
29:17Chavez.
29:18Just turn him.
29:18Every time you throw a
29:19combination, turn him.
29:20Grab him.
29:21Turn him.
29:22Have him reset all the
29:23time.
29:23The flat-footed Sanchez.
29:29He's just staying in the
29:30pocket too long.
29:31Right hook to the
29:31body by Sanchez.
29:33Continues to be on the
29:35front foot, putting the
29:37pressure on Chavez.
29:39Chavez not sitting down
29:41on any of his punches.
29:45That along with the lack
29:46of a consistent jab has
29:48not given Sanchez any force.
29:50Oh, left-hand landed
29:52upstairs for Sanchez.
29:53Doing good work from the
29:55southpaw stance.
29:56Midpoint of the eighth.
29:59I wonder if Sanchez just
30:00has his number.
30:01Had that split decision
30:02winning the amateurs,
30:03taking the fight to
30:04Chavez here on the pro
30:05rinks.
30:10Sweeter when you're
30:11getting paid for it.
30:13And this is the stage
30:16where you want to shine
30:20Cinco de Mayo.
30:20weekend.
30:21So many legends.
30:23So many memorable
30:24clashes.
30:25Great start tonight here
30:27in Las Vegas.
30:28And with a minute left
30:30in the eighth round,
30:32Sanchez continues to put
30:34the pressure on Chavez.
30:37And I'm surprised that
30:38Chavez is fighting like
30:39this because his last two
30:40fights against Manal
30:41Flores, you know,
30:43he's similar to style
30:44to Sanchez.
30:44So softball, but he
30:46was able to move.
30:47He was able to dictate
30:49the pace, the jab, but in
30:50this fight, the pressure
30:51was just too much for
30:52Sanchez.
30:53It just wants it too much.
30:54Yeah, he's pulling away
30:54here in the eighth round.
30:57These are big shots that
30:58he's landing clean on
30:59Chavez.
31:00Chavez looked like he may
31:01have been momentarily
31:03bothered by that one
31:03punch.
31:04Now trying to fire off
31:06his own, but he continues
31:08to be tagged by Tito
31:11Sanchez.
31:12He has 20 seconds left
31:13now in round eight.
31:14And there's no adjustment
31:16being made by Chavez.
31:17He's fighting Sanchez's
31:19fight.
31:20Much too willing to let
31:21his opponent dictate the
31:22terms.
31:45And this is so much the action,
31:47a successful Chavez in the
31:48center of the ring.
31:50what was born from Tito
31:52Sanchez, I'm sorry.
31:53But it's both right there.
31:54It's both letting their
31:56hands go.
31:57Sanchez.
31:58But every time he misses,
31:59there it is.
32:00The counter punches from
32:01Chavez are accurate, are
32:03just beautiful.
32:04There it is.
32:04You push him forward, create
32:06an opening, and you
32:08counter if you're Chavez.
32:09And he was doing that
32:10really good, but then
32:11again, he got tired.
32:17Body shot to the liver, okay?
32:20Wake up.
32:22Remember the Timex Social
32:24Club, Brian?
32:25How do rumors get started?
32:27Well, the jab is a rumor in
32:28this fight.
32:30285 with their combined,
32:33298 landed punches are
32:35power shots.
32:36Round number nine.
32:41And body shots.
32:45Sanchez.
32:49Over 100 body shots
32:51landed for the native
32:54of Cathedral City,
32:55California, taking on
32:58San Diego's Jorge Chavez.
33:01And you heard Joel Diaz
33:03telling Sanchez in the
33:04corner between rounds,
33:05we need more body punches.
33:06The opening is there for
33:08the type of shot that
33:09could end this fight.
33:10It's 109 to 16 in the
33:13body shot department for
33:15Sanchez.
33:15Yeah, and that's the
33:16reason why Chavez is not
33:17moving as much anymore.
33:18The body work from Sanchez.
33:21He's trying.
33:24Switching stances, but
33:25just unable to land
33:27anything of significance.
33:28Yeah, they're all arm
33:30punches now from Chavez.
33:31He's tired.
33:32His window, no doubt.
33:35Sanchez with nine
33:37and knockouts out of
33:38his 15 victories.
33:40Chavez has eight of his
33:4215 wins inside the
33:44distance.
33:45Sanchez is really
33:46showing a wonderful
33:47motor here as well to be
33:48able to keep up his
33:49pace.
33:50Exactly there.
33:51Chavez lands a right.
33:52Now Chavez lands a
33:53couple of shots right up
33:55a gun on the inside for
33:56Chavez.
33:56But Sanchez comes
33:58firing back.
33:59But Chavez having some
34:00success.
34:01Yeah, he's throwing in
34:02between those punches from
34:04Sanchez.
34:05Inside punches from
34:06Chavez.
34:07Cleaner punches right now
34:08from Chavez.
34:09But here we go.
34:10This is good.
34:11Wow.
34:13Sensational action with
34:14just over a minute left
34:16in the ninth as the crowd
34:17roars.
34:18It's approval.
34:20Chavez and Sanchez, two
34:22names that are legendary
34:24in the sport of boxing and
34:26these two young fighters
34:27want to follow in those
34:28hallowed footsteps.
34:30And the familiarity
34:32between the two of them
34:33amateur rivals now
34:34competing on the pro level
34:36and Chavez battling back
34:38this round to at least
34:40give as good as he's
34:41received.
34:43Cinco de Mayo card.
34:45Cinco de Mayo type of
34:46fight.
34:47Back and forth.
34:48Can we have a Cinco de Mayo
34:50card every card?
34:53Please.
34:54Unbelievable.
34:54Toe to toe action.
34:56Chavez firing.
34:58Sanchez returning fire.
35:03Two youngsters entering
35:05their prime willing to let
35:07it all hang out in Las
35:09Vegas.
35:11This is how you try to
35:12steal the show on a loaded
35:14night.
35:15And this isn't even the
35:16last round.
35:16Digging deep.
35:18Gut check for both Chavez
35:20and Sanchez.
35:22There's no problem.
35:23Sanchez has thrown a
35:25hundred and thirty punches
35:26in the round.
35:28Chavez nearing one hundred.
35:30Mamma mia!
35:32What a night so far in Las
35:34Vegas.
35:45Can we have a little more,
35:47sir?
35:48Bro, please.
35:49Look at my face, bro.
35:50I got splints with some
35:51blood, man.
35:52Oh, wow.
35:53Hazard pay.
36:17We have reached the tenth and
36:23final round.
36:24You talk about pace, you talk
36:26about conditioning, you talk
36:28about output.
36:30In round nine, Sanchez, 43 of
36:33134.
36:34Chavez, 36 of 102.
36:37The final three minutes are
36:39upon us.
36:41This fight is so good.
36:42I don't know.
36:43Look at Maris wearing a little
36:44bit of it on his face.
36:45Oh, man.
