00:03 - Instructions in the dressing room.

00:13 Instructions in the dressing room.

00:15 Respect each other, respect the fighting

00:16 and touch gloves Alejandro Velasquez,

00:19 the referee for this matchup.

00:22 10 rounds, the co-main event,

00:23 South American featherweight championship on the line

00:27 between Mirko Cuello and Antonio Guzman.

00:29 Mirko Cuello in the blue trunks

00:31 with the red and white trim.

00:34 And Antonio Guzman of Marcai, Venezuela

00:37 in the blue trunks and white trim.

00:39 So Cuello with the, I guess essentially red, white and blue

00:44 for lack of a better term or description

00:46 and Antonio Guzman in the blue and white.

00:48 George D. Metellus alongside Pauly Malignaggi here

00:52 for the co-main event of the evening

00:56 between Mirko Cuello and Antonio Guzman.

00:59 Mirko Cuello 11 and 0, 10 by knockout,

01:02 a promising fighter that Samson Lekovitz

01:05 has high hopes for.

01:06 And Antonio Guzman a pretty impressive knockout record

01:10 with 19 knockouts in his 23 victories.

01:12 But you know, the great Mike Goldberg likes numbers.

01:16 I got a couple of numbers when it comes to that

01:18 that we will talk about later on in this fight.

01:21 - I'll tell you what, Mirko Cuello though,

01:22 showing early on in this fight,

01:24 a visceris body shot by Samson Lekovitz

01:26 which rates him so high, exactly that.

01:28 - Ooh, you know what, Pauly,

01:30 I don't think Guzman is getting up here.

01:32 He took a hard shot and this is gonna be,

01:34 it's up at nine.

01:37 - It's up at nine.

01:38 - Wow.

01:39 - Give credit to Guzman for sucking it up

01:40 and getting up at nine.

01:42 But Cuello is one of those guys,

01:44 Samson Lekovitz has discovered top notch level

01:46 South American Argentines like Brian Castaño

01:50 and Sebastian Fondora.

01:51 And here Cuello, he rates them as high

01:53 as those kind of guys from Argentina.

01:55 - Wow.

01:56 The 2020.

01:57 - Maybe even better.

01:58 - Siete, ocho, nueve.

02:00 - It's the second time he's been knocked down here

02:03 in this first round.

02:05 2020 Olympian bronze medal

02:06 in the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics

02:09 that took place in Buenos Aires,

02:10 but that was at bantamweight.

02:12 And Mirko Cuello looking dominant here in this first round.

02:18 Already with two knockdowns.

02:19 Oh, and that is gonna be it.

02:25 A devastating uppercut to put down Guzman.

02:28 And 57 seconds left in the first round.

02:32 - Keep in mind Guzman, a guy who's 23 and three

02:34 with 19 knockouts as you referenced.

02:36 - Yep.

02:37 - Gee, you know, he's not a guy who's just,

02:39 would just show up and not win.

02:40 He was trying to stay in there,

02:42 but Cuello kept hurting him and hurting him and hurting him.

02:44 Again, showing exactly why Lekovitz rates Cuello so much.

02:48 It's not just that he's a winner

02:50 and he's got the resume that you mentioned.

02:51 He's got a terrific amateur resume,

02:52 but you can see the way he goes about his business.

02:55 Speed, shot selection, accuracy, fundamentals, power.

03:00 It's all there.

03:02 And a very, very explosive fighter

03:04 who has really, really got Lekovitz,

03:07 who knows a champion,

03:08 understands the difference with levels of fighters.

03:10 Lekovitz has been a guy who's been around a long time.

03:12 So when he tells you, "Watch this guy,

03:14 "this guy, rate this guy,"

03:15 you know you're gonna watch him.

03:17 Very impressive performance here from Mirko Cuello.

03:19 Mirko Cuello.

03:20 Or as they would say in Argentina, Cuello.

03:22 - Cuello, yeah.

03:23 (laughs)

03:24 - Or as I like to do sometimes with people

03:27 whose last names you can translate, Mirko Neck.

03:30 But Cuello, yeah, Neck.

03:31 So. (laughs)

03:34 That's a big victory there for Mirko Cuello.

03:38 And well, you can't hit in the neck in boxing,

03:40 but two times knocking down Guzman with body blows.

03:44 And I think that's even more impressive there.

03:48 The body blows knocking down an opponent here.

03:51 - And then the way he opened up the body.

03:53 You see he opened up the body,

03:54 then he's got Guzman watching out to the head.

03:57 And what happens when,

03:58 I mean, he's got Guzman trying to defend the body.

04:00 So what happens, the head is exposed.

04:02 He's not really thinking about the head shots.

04:04 He's been hurt to the body twice.

04:05 So you know Cuello goes, "You know what?

04:07 "Let me take you out with the head shots."

04:09 Nice uppercut, right hand combination to end the fight.

04:13 - Big victory for Mirko Cuello.

04:14 Remember I was mentioning the numbers with Guzman?

04:17 Here's a stat there.

04:19 This goes to show that I really did research this stuff here

04:22 because in the three losses that Guzman had,

04:26 the record of his opponents coming into this fight,

04:29 33 wins, three losses, one draw.

04:32 In the 23 wins that he had,

04:35 the combined record of his opponents,

04:37 35 wins, 136 losses, and seven draws.

04:42 - Well you can tell Cuello was a level

04:44 that he had not beaten yet, so no surprise.

04:46 But it wasn't just that Cuello beat him,

04:48 it's the way he beat him.

04:49 It's the way he went about his business

04:51 in such a professional, mature manner.

04:54 Really devastating.

04:56 - This turned out to really be kind of a,

04:57 more of a sparring session than an actual fight here.

05:01 And this is an impressive victory for Mirko Cuello.

05:04 And of course, sparring sessions,

05:06 a program you can see on Pro Box TV.

05:09 So there you have it.

05:10 And coming up next after the impressive victory

05:13 by Mirko Cuello, Amilcar Vidal Jr.

05:15 going up against Domicio Rondon in the main event,

05:20 that should be quite a fight between Vidal and Rondon.

05:25 What are you expecting from the Vidal Jr. Rondon fight

05:27 there, Paulie?

05:28 - Hey man, the same thing we give you every time.

05:30 - Yeah.

05:31 - Good action fight.

05:32 - Good fighters and great fights on your boxing channel,

05:35 Pro Box TV.

05:37 And before we get to that fight,

05:40 well let's take a look at the three knockdowns here

05:42 and the impressive, impressive fight here by Cuello.

05:45 Especially that third knockout.

05:46 It's the uppercut and then left hand over the top there.

05:51 That was impressive.

05:52 Oh, it was the left uppercut and then the right

05:57 that brought down, it's favoring the body

05:59 after the first knockdown on the body shots there.

06:02 What a result there.

06:03 And we'll get the official time and everything

06:07 from the ring announcer, Ruben Peralta.

06:15 And now let's see what's next for Miracle Cuello

06:20 as he, in his second defense of the South American

06:23 Featherweight Championship, wins in super impressive fashion.

06:28 So this is the third straight fight we've had

06:32 on this fight card in Uruguay.

06:35 That has not gone the distance and that has...

06:39 Impressive start.

06:40 (speaking in foreign language)

06:44 With the three, 12 and 0, 11 by knockout.

07:01 What do you see from this kid, Pauly,

07:02 that makes you think that how far he can go up there?

07:05 - He's the guy who finds all that talent in South America.

07:07 But again, all of the other things

07:08 that I've mentioned already.

07:10 (speaking in foreign language)

07:12 Very, very good prospect.

07:13 I know we've got the resume to back it up in the am.
