00:00At 6 feet 2 inches tall, 1.88 meters, he weighed in at fight time at an even 207 pounds,
00:0893.8 kilos.
00:10Fighting tonight out of Suriname, he is the former middleweight champion of the world.
00:16He is Donovan, the dream chaser, Visa.
00:26His opponent standing at my right and fighting out of the white corner, a two-division Dutch and European champion,
00:33coming off a unanimous decision in April.
00:36His professional record, 65 wins, 11 losses, and 21 career knockouts.
00:43At 6 feet 3 inches tall, 1.92 meters, he too weighed in at 207 pounds and even 94 kilograms.
00:51Fighting tonight out of the Netherlands, ladies and gentlemen, introducing the infamous Nuis Tavares.
01:03And the third man inside the Glory Roaks, your referee, Tomislav Novosel.
01:09Fighter, please.
01:16Guys, if you know the rules, please follow my command. Protect yourself all the time.
01:19Okay, I want to clear you fine.
01:21Touch your gloves if you want.
01:23Step back in the corner.
01:26Heated stare down for the Grand Prix quarterfinal number three.
01:32First meeting between these two Glory veterans.
01:37Donovan Visa making his light heavyweight debut.
01:41Black gloves and Luis Tavares with the white gloves.
01:45Our last fight was all about explosions and power.
01:48This one's all about technical and footwork.
01:51Subtle angles and feints.
01:53And Visa is so used to fighting as being that dominant champion in the middleweight division.
01:59Five rounds.
02:00We'll see if it's a different mentality.
02:02Does he come out quicker tonight?
02:03He's got it.
02:04Yeah, he's been aware of that.
02:05So he says he's going to plan to come a little quicker, which he's going to have to.
02:10He's a fighter that downloads information really well and then goes, but he can figure out quick and get the
02:17job done faster.
02:19Nice work from Tavares, that boxing.
02:23Visa landing a couple of kicks to the Cavs and he goes right back to it.
02:28Always been a very technical fighter.
02:30Likes to download his opponents, whatever they're doing early in the round.
02:36Ooh, beautiful.
02:37He touched that calf kick and went to the right straight quickly.
02:43Nice.
02:44That combination flow of Visa as he gains momentum, it's hard to break it.
02:49Looking quick, but nice jab from Tavares.
02:53Yep, Mike's gym tonight, their jabs have been on point.
02:56As always, Jem Caceres, teammates with Tavares.
03:00Top time.
03:01Neutrofone.
03:10Well, you talked about in the prelims, you've got to get yourself a custom mouthpiece, right?
03:14Isn't that the key?
03:15Go to your dentist on Sunday.
03:17Get it done.
03:18Time.
03:18Fight.
03:18I mean, it's protection of your brain and teeth.
03:21It should be almost a no-brainer.
03:23Well said, Jem.
03:25Double kick there from Visa, attacking that lead leg.
03:29Catching quick counter from Tavares.
03:32Anything to break that rhythm of Visa.
03:35Tavares not finding the target, only landing 12% of his strikes thrown early on.
03:41Nice shoulder roll defense from Tavares, but he keeps eating calf kicks.
03:47That will slow a fighter down, and it seems like that was part of the game plan for Donovan Visa.
03:53Yeah, now he's stance-switching.
03:56Yeah, now he's stance-switching.
03:57Moving his head offline.
03:59Tavares having to go southpaw.
04:03Visa said, of course, I got a lot more power at light heavyweight, but felt he still had his speed,
04:09which is going to be key.
04:10Yeah, you can see Visa's in his flow mode now, the way his head's getting offline and he's countering.
04:15Look how he slipped and ripped that liver shot so quick, you don't even see it.
04:19He's in his flow state.
04:22Tavares is able to level change, avoid that hook from Visa, who seems very comfortable here in his new weight
04:31class so far.
04:32Tavares is two or three calf kicks away from dropping.
04:36I mean, every time he gets hit, it's worse and worse.
04:45Visa, 14 of 14 with his kicks so far in the first round.
04:54Nice first frame for the former middleweight champion, Donovan Visa, the dream catcher.
05:06Just beautiful work from the former middleweight champ.
05:10Just slipping his head offline, countering, finding beautiful calf kicks.
05:15That was the nasty combination.
05:17Calf kick to right hand.
05:18So quick and efficient.
05:25Big Mike in Mike's gym giving Luis Tavares some last minute instructions.
05:31as our glory girls get us ready for round number two, light heavyweight Grand Prix quarterfinal number three.
05:53Donovan Visa, though, you mentioned it, seemed extremely motivated for this next challenge
05:59after dominating the middleweight division for so long, Justin.
06:02And he was so smiley during the interviews.
06:04He was.
06:05Didn't have to cut weight.
06:06So definitely a happier man right now.
06:11Looking just as sharp in this division as he did in the middleweight.
06:15Clean sweep by our judges for Donovan Visa.
06:19All five judges gave him the opening round.
06:29Now it's Tavares throwing punches in bunches.
06:33Good defense from Visa.
06:35The way Visa counters with level changes, mixed attacks.
06:40So clean.
06:42100% with his kicks thrown and landed.
06:4620 for 20 by the former middleweight champion.
06:53Joseph, he's also outstriking Tavares.
06:5641 to 11.
06:58I mean, just real move in so nicely.
07:01He slipped countered and slipped the counter of the counter.
07:04Like, he's on point.
07:07Tavares presses forward.
07:19Tavares, the multiple-time Dutch kickboxing champion.
07:2713 career fights in glory.
07:29Yeah, those slipping counters from Visa.
07:32Landed every time.
07:35I love when he moves his head and then attacks the Cavs.
07:43Ooh.
07:44Nice combination from Visa.
07:47Yeah, Tavares doing a better job at countering and coming back.
07:51He doesn't want Visa to build that momentum.
07:54He needs to try to, what we call, counter the counter.
07:57He knows Visa's going to counter, but he's got to come back after that counter.
08:02Well said.
08:12Oh, nice body shot from Visa.
08:17Beautiful head movement by the former middleweight champion.
08:23Oh, nice body rip for Visa.
08:26Absolutely.
08:31Body and then a knee from Donovan Visa.
08:35Yeah, head, body, knee.
08:37Just mixes things up so evenly.
08:41Doesn't overbox.
08:42Mixes his kicks and knees well.
08:44Uses his hands and kicks to set things up.
08:48Keeping Luis Tavares guessing, that's for sure.
08:52Head kick blocked by Tavares, but then Visa goes to the body.
08:54Yeah, see how he used the kick.
08:56Most people end with the kick.
08:58He started with the kick to follow with his hands.
09:05Round number two in the books.
09:08We move on to the third and final round of the quarterfinal number three.
09:18Special thanks to our partner, Fairtex.

09:35Former champion Donovan Visa, the dream chaser.
09:40He's cat.
09:41I mean, he is looking very comfortable, Joseph, in his move up to light heavyweight.
09:48His gas tank's looking good.
09:50Probably better than the middleweight division, not having to suck his weight out.
09:54Let's see what Luis Tavares, the veteran, can do in this second, or in this third round.
10:01Excuse me.
10:05Hasn't had an answer to the attack and the onslaught from Donovan Visa yet.
10:13Last round, five, five.
10:17Round number three underway.
10:19Ron Kruk and Joseph Valtellini with you tonight.
10:22Light heavyweight grand prix quarterfinal.
10:26And now it is two rounds to nothing going the way of the former middleweight champion Donovan Visa.
10:35Oh, nice.
10:38Tavares still slick.
10:39Good bounce on his feet, even with the calf kicks.
10:43Let's see the approach that Visa takes here now.
10:47Another calf kick.
10:49Does he get a little bit more defensive here in the third round and trying to save himself for the
10:54semis?
10:54Oh, the way Tavares is pressuring now, he's going to have to maybe keep Tavares off him a little bit.
11:02Tavares landed a good left hook.
11:08Tavares keeps moving forward.
11:10Yeah, when he's pressuring, he's doing well.
11:13That's why I'm saying Visa can't sit back too much.
11:1721 career knockouts for Tavares.
11:23Straight from Tavares.
11:27Visa back to the body.
11:44Quarterfinal number four coming up between Boa Pea and Vahitov.
11:48That's going to be an amazing fight.
11:53Right now, Donovan Visa looking to move on.
11:57The win over Luis Tavares.
12:00It's light heavyweight debut.
12:03Attack in the body.
12:05Well, jab to the head, straight to the body.
12:08Back to his leg kicks.
12:10Slip counter.
12:21Visa outstriking Tavares.
12:2497 to 31.
12:26Really just having his way.
12:28Everything seemed to be working for the former middleweight champ.
12:32Hasn't taken many big shots.
12:35Got his legs moving, his combos flowing.
12:39He's going to be a dangerous man in the semifinal.
12:41He sure is.
12:42One of the big favorites coming into the tournament.
12:49Had a tough test here against the veteran fighter in Tavares.
12:54A lot of people said Tavares was a live underdog for sure.
12:59That he could maybe shock some people.
13:01But it's been all Donovan Visa in this one.
13:04Oh.
13:06And finishing strong.
13:12There's no resting for the semifinals.
13:15Visa keeps his foot on the gas pedal.
13:19And all indications have it that Donovan Visa will move on to the semis.
13:26Beautiful.
13:26Hornaval Visa.
13:26Thank you, Paul.
