00:00 [crowd cheering]

00:03 - In the last few months,

00:12 he's been getting under the skin of Cunningham.

00:14 He's got everything in his corner here.

00:16 Home advantage,

00:17 Ralkers following, cheering every punch.

00:21 Finesse and Ackerman may be on the back burner.

00:24 He's set up the grandstand event.

00:26 Now it is time for Liam Davis

00:28 to deliver on the promise.

00:31 And what are we gonna get here?

00:33 Is age and experience gonna win the day?

00:36 Cunningham will tell you that that is an attribute

00:39 that is often underappreciated.

00:41 He's been in, he's seen it and done it before,

00:44 and he's capable, he believes,

00:46 of turning over Davis in his home territory.

00:49 - Yeah, look, that's the fight that I've been excited about

00:51 for quite a while.

00:52 It's probably went under the radar a little bit

00:54 because of the massive fight that we have later on tonight

00:57 against Fenton Crawford, but this is a good fight.

01:01 The young upstart in Davis

01:02 against the veteran,

01:05 hard and bold warrior in Jason Cunningham

01:07 was a good start from Davis so far.

01:10 - Yeah, he has promised to deliver devastating style

01:12 and an early finish,

01:14 and that first right hand that landed on Cunningham,

01:17 he felt it.

01:18 What he needs to do,

01:25 and he's just slowed things down a bit,

01:27 take some of the atmosphere

01:29 and the heat out of the crowd here,

01:31 quieting things down,

01:34 and then get to work on his job, his strategy.

01:38 - Davis really starting aggressively here.

01:49 He's in front of his home crowd,

01:51 very atmospheric in here.

01:53 A lot of people here to support him,

01:54 but he just doesn't want to be too overeager,

01:57 especially so early on in the fight.

02:00 - Well, the other thing people often used to ask

02:03 about the difficulty facing Zappos

02:05 for such a young career of 13, 14 fights.

02:08 He's already faced three of them, Davis,

02:11 and he's had no trouble whatsoever

02:13 beat arguably the best in Mark Leach a year ago

02:17 when nobody thought he would.

02:18 - Yeah, to be honest, I was surprised

02:20 how easy he dealt with Mark Leach.

02:22 I had Mark Leach's favorite get into that fight,

02:25 and I know Mark Leach pretty well.

02:26 I know how good he is,

02:27 but Davis made it look easy that night.

02:29 He just--oh!

02:30 - Right now, over a puck of weight.

02:32 - To the body, and Cunningham is hanging on

02:34 for a moment there,

02:35 sends in the uppercut,

02:36 and now he's turned his back,

02:38 which he maybe shouldn't have done.

02:41 Davis all over him, the crowd, and the seats.

02:45 - [whistle blows]

02:48 - Done really well to stay in his feet there.

02:50 Still 40 seconds left to go in this round.

02:52 [crowd cheering]

02:56 - Just exactly what he would have wanted.

02:59 Cunningham knew he was gonna have to weather a storm here,

03:02 and it is a big one that is raining down on him.

03:04 [crowd cheering]

03:07 - Oh, he's got a right hand.

03:08 - He's caught him with an uppercut,

03:09 and he's in big, big trouble here.

03:13 Davis unloading, referee steps in,

03:16 and it is all over. - What a win.

03:17 - A sensational victory here.

03:20 Absolutely sensational from Liam Davis.

03:25 He promised he was gonna be devastating.

03:27 He promised he would win,

03:29 and he has delivered on every count.

03:32 - That was an outstanding performance.

03:34 I don't--I don't think anyone,

03:36 apart from maybe Liam Davis and his team,

03:38 expected it to be over that quickly.

03:40 I thought this was gonna be a tough match for both guys.

03:44 I can't afford to be confused.

03:45 - Liam's work here is a facet of the win, in effect,

03:47 but I never, ever in a million years

03:49 thought he would do it that quick.

03:50 He's such a good, tough, hard veteran,

03:53 and Jason Cunningham, that was a fantastic performance.

03:57 - Well, I think Cunningham is possibly saying

04:01 that they called it off a bit too early.

04:04 The referee was in very, very quick there.

04:08 Well, he did start the night saying,

04:11 "I want to deliver you your first ever defeat."

04:15 But Davis, "I'm mentally strong.

04:18 I want the big fights.

04:19 I want a box in the USA."

04:24 This is the finish, and he just--

04:27 he was doing nothing. He was offering nothing.

04:31 Absolutely all over him,

04:33 and really, that Cunningham didn't know where he was.

04:37 - No, I think the referee,

04:39 sometimes they criticize this game.

04:41 Jason Cunningham thinks it was an early stoppage,

04:43 but I think it was perfect.

04:45 A perfect stoppage from Victor Laughlin.

04:47 I don't--the first shot he gets quoted,

04:49 there was a knockdown because Victor Laughlin

04:52 was saying that the ropes held Cunningham up.

04:55 I don't really know how he stayed up

04:58 from that first shot that landed.

05:01 And when he had him hurt, he really went through the gears.

05:05 - Well, you know, he is one of the most quotable.

05:08 I have not had to dig in and show the real dog

05:11 in a fight yet, but I will here.

05:14 That was another one.

05:16 I'm on this big roller coaster.

05:19 It is going higher, and it is going higher.

05:22 People still doubt Lee, but after tonight,

05:25 other people still gonna doubt him.

05:27 - Good.

05:28 Jason Cunningham's been in with very good fighters.

05:31 He had a very close fight with Mick Conlon,

05:33 who--there's a chance that he did--

05:36 if the fight against Lee Woo didn't end

05:38 the way it did in the last round,

05:40 that he may have been a world champion.

05:44 He fought for a world title against O.M.E.

05:46 He's been in the mix of good, good fighters,

05:48 and he's only put a good performance in.

05:51 Maybe the Tanny performs a few fights

05:53 before the great war, but this is the--

05:57 this is the best performance

05:58 Tanny won against Cunningham.

06:00 This is a magical performance from Liam Davies,

06:03 the future--the future-- look at where he could come.

06:07 - Well, everybody has the fire.

06:11 It is the champion that knows when to ignite the spark,

06:15 and he has just done it here.

06:17 Let's get the official go from Thomas Treiber.

06:22 [upbeat music]

06:25 [bell ringing]

06:27 - Ladies and gentlemen, here is the official time.

06:31 2 minutes, 46 seconds of round number one

06:35 of the recharge.

06:36 Victor Laughlin stops the contest.

06:39 Every winner by way of tactical knockout.

06:43 Still undefeated, and now the British, European,

06:48 WBC, and WBO

06:52 international super bantamweight champion,

06:56 Liam "Dangerous" Davies!

07:02 - Well, very sporting in the end

07:05 from Jason Cunningham.

07:08 As he's gonna find out now,

07:09 the toughest thing about being a success

07:12 is you've gotta continue being a success,

07:16 and the opponents are gonna get tougher,

07:18 the fights are gonna get bigger,

07:19 and he wants the real big paydays,

07:22 the real championships.

07:24 This is where the hard work starts.

07:25 - Yeah, look, we just need--

07:27 in my opinion,

07:28 In my opinion.
