00:01Jem Cáceres!
00:06Et le joueur en charge de cette bouton, Yusuf Achnik.
00:10OK, fighters, vous connaissez les règles.
00:11Listen bien à mes commandes.
00:13J'ai envie de cléar, OK?
00:14Touché les claves.
00:15Take a step back.
00:31Jem Cáceres et Mohamed Toussassi.
00:37Oh, nice head kick from Toussassi.
00:39Toussassi, I'm keeping this fight in kick range,
00:42the longest range possible
00:44to avoid any punches on that cut.
00:48It looked like the cut was not bleeding.
00:53I think that was a big key
00:55because we did not think that he could continue
00:59with that big ash, but it wasn't bleeding
01:01and it wasn't gushing.
01:03But if I'm Jem Cáceres,
01:05I'm throwing everything at that cut.
01:08Exactly right.
01:09I mean, at this point here,
01:10you've got a world title on the line.
01:13Split it open some more.
01:15The light heavyweight title is a vacant.
01:18The winner tonight has to beat three opponents.
01:33Nice combination work from Toussassi.
01:37Toussassi throwing both strikes and kicks here early on,
01:42mixing up his attack.
01:44Yeah, and he's not being as aggressive,
01:45which is smart.
01:46See how he's playing his range,
01:48sitting outside, moving backwards.
01:51He needs to avoid any inside range with hands.
01:55Both men come into the semifinals with 14 clear knockouts.
02:01So Sashi ripped the body in the exchange, which was nice.
02:05Jem's known for his body shots.
02:07He's got to start sitting in on some of those punches.
02:12And both fighters seem to be moving all right here in this semifinal.
02:18And I feel like Jem's just weathering the storm.
02:21And I feel that would be the perfect game plan,
02:23where in the last minute Jem picks up the fight.
02:27Let's see if Coach Valtellini is spot on with that game plan.
02:32Under a minute to go, opening round.
02:39To Shazi, definitely the more aggressive and busy fighter.
02:45But now I see a little bit of blood streaming from that cut, Joseph.
02:49Yeah, it's definitely dripping,
02:51but he's not even thinking about it right now.
02:56I mean, to go through three fights with a cut on your face.
03:00That's wild.
03:01Look at him open.
03:03And it's Toshazi throwing some heavy leather.
03:10People scrape their elbows and cry and don't go to work.
03:13And this man split open and he's working overtime.
03:17Absolutely.
03:17And he's got double overtime if he moves on.
03:21Oh!
03:22A flying knee from Caceres.
03:25It's a little too Shazi.
03:26Excuse me.
03:27Yep.
03:31Nice body wrist.
03:35Both fighters looking pretty, pretty accurate and fresh here
03:40in the opening round of the semifinals.
03:42Yeah, I feel Jeff kind of waited a little bit in that round.
03:45But Toshazi did a good job at keeping his range.
03:52Do a little work on that cut.
03:55Could have been a lot worse.
03:59Joe Caceres, Mike Pesnir, Mike's gym.
04:06Been doing this a long time.
04:10He's been through a couple of tournaments in his career.
04:14Yeah, probably.
04:15He's probably done more tournaments to just bother himself than Saki.
04:20There you go.
04:22He's at everyone.
04:31Come on.
04:33Come on, we too.
04:35Preparing for round number two.
04:39Done.
04:39The glory, a light heavyweight Grand Prix semi-finals.
04:44Toshazi and Caceres.
04:55And a clean sweep for Mohamed Toshazi.
04:59All five judges given that first round.
05:02is more accurate.
05:04Outstriking Caceres 27-14.
05:0828-14.
05:09Oh, Toshazi ripping the body.
05:11Came with the head kick.
05:13He's using his straight punches to get to the body.
05:18Saki.
05:19Sasha's fighting great right now.
05:23Absolutely.
05:24Looking like a veteran.
05:26There it is for Caceres.
05:28Get Messi on the inside.
05:30Get that cut opened up.
05:35First meeting between these two.
05:40Former teammates at Big Mike's.
05:43Mike's gym.
05:53That little calf kick for a right hand.
05:57Caceres backs.
05:58Toshazi up.
06:00That up jab he's been catching everybody with.
06:10Toshazi's throwing a pretty good gas tank too.
06:13His ability to hit with the power he's doing.
06:16Move in.
06:19There's Jem opening up.
06:21Yeah.
06:21We haven't seen him really step into anything massive.
06:25And Toshazi looking for a highlight reel knockout but it's back to work for Caceres.
06:36Straight from Toshazi.
06:38Straight from Toshazi.
06:38He's gonna have to start countering more.
06:40He's sitting in his high guard a little too long.
06:43Fire out of the shell.
06:44Toshazi focusing on the head strikes.
06:48Toshazi focusing on the head strikes.
06:54Toshazi focusing on the head strikes.
07:04Toshazi focusing on the head strikes.
07:05Oh body shot and then teeing off working downtown and upstairs.
07:11Yeah.
07:12Being very calculated with his strike selection.
07:16Under 30 to go.
07:22Man I'm so glad they let Toshazi fight with the cut.
07:25Oh me too.
07:26Because he's doing great right now.
07:29Building a warrior story for himself.
07:31Took a big deep breath after Caceres landed.
07:35Oh Caceres got him.
07:36Oh they're going back and forth.
07:40This is what we needed from Jem.
07:42Man did he pick it up.
07:44As that second round was winding down.
07:48Unbelievable back and forth action.

08:08Wow back and forth in that second round.
08:11Great action.
08:11I mean Toshazi was aggressive but Jem got aggressive here.
08:15Found the right hand.
08:16Left hook.
08:16The right hand again.
08:17And then just started following it up.
08:19Toshazi was wobbled on his legs.
08:22You see his eyes roll back a little bit there and Jem followed it up again.
08:26Jem needs a little bit more of these moments in the fight.
08:31Toshazi trying to rip the body but Jem came back with the hook to the head.
08:36It was a great ending sequence for Caceres.
08:39Sure was.
08:41Maybe stole the round.
08:42Yeah.
08:44Because I mean that was the most damage of the round.
08:47Yeah.
08:55Semi-final number one.
08:58Round number three.
09:00Toshazi.
09:01And Caceres.
09:04And the judges.
09:06Three judges give that round to Caceres.
09:09Two to Toshazi.
09:10Yeah it's the winner of this round.
09:12Wins the fight.
09:14As it should be.
09:17Spinning hook kick blocked.
09:21Caceres says get that out of my face.
09:23Sure did.
09:23That was like a rejection in basketball.
09:28But Toshazi fighting through a cut he sustained in the quarterfinals.
09:34Toshazi throws from the hip a lot.
09:36So for Caceres he needs to block and try to fire out off of those.
09:41Much more active with the striking is Toshazi as you've seen from that stat.
09:48Throwing 131 total strikes compared to 86 for Caceres.
09:54Oh beautiful combination.
09:57Jem Caceres is.
10:00And a nice jab.
10:03Oh.
10:04Head kick from Toshazi.
10:07And now a flying knee.
10:09Good job at Toshazi rushing it.
10:12I think Jem's hurt.
10:13Oh body shot.
10:15And then to the head.
10:17Mohamed Toshazi has an opportunity as we approach one minute and 30 seconds to go in the third round.
10:25He's bringing out all the tricks now.
10:28Flying knee spinning hook kicks.
10:30Level changes.
10:32Wow.
10:35Mohamed Toshazi has turned it up a notch here in the final round.
10:51Oh wow.
10:54No knockdown.
10:56Under a minute to go.
11:04Toshazi is still trying to throw everything.
11:07He sure is.
11:08Look at him throw.
11:10He's stepping into everything.
11:13There comes Caceres again.
11:15He needs another late flurry here.
11:21But it's Toshazi being more active.
11:2430 seconds.
11:25Final round.
11:27I feel like he needs to go.
11:27He hasn't stopped.
11:29There comes Jem.
11:31Just like he did in the second.
11:33Knocked down and stuffed it up.
11:33Close, close, close, close.
11:34Stuffed it up.
11:38Who will be moving on to the glory light heavyweight Grand Prix tournament finals.
11:45Another head kick from Toshazi.
11:52And as time winds down, a few more good shots from Toshazi for good measure.
12:00The fans.
