Transcript

00:00 Samuli Kärkkäinen was presented there. Vaari Simo Kärkkäinen also with him.

00:07 And Jari Grönrös is in charge of his preparation.

00:12 His father was a top boxer and Jari himself as a professional.

00:17 And he might be a bronze medalist, as Jari Grönrös was the first of the Kings Tallinn's first night.

00:28 He was a professional in the SMHPA and in 2016 he lost to Tomi Honga in the final.

00:40 Tomi Honga also took a few shots as a professional and after that he retired.

00:47 And now he is a coach in North Finland and also won the bronze medal in the Kärkkäinen's fight.

00:55 He also worked as a representative of the Finnish National Team during his amateur career.

00:59 But as a professional he has already won 18 fights and 17 wins.

01:06 And one of the fights is already on the list.

01:10 In the fight against Demchenko, Samuli Kärkkäinen has been on the European Boxing Union's EU's challenger list for 18 fights.

01:21 And Oscar Metz, who was supposed to be here tonight, is on the EU's challenger list for 5 fights.

01:28 So there is also a Finnish name on the list of the European Boxing Union.

01:35 Elia Juusti was born in Iisalmi, I mean he lives in Iisalmi and was born in Hamina.

01:43 And he is 26 years old.

01:48 Yeah, I started with a clean sheet.

01:52 Elia is starting from a little bit far and we'll see if Samuli gets a little closer.

02:03 Good forehand from Elia, but he should use it in the initial training phase.

02:11 But we'll see if he opens up at some point.

02:16 Yes, and Kärkkäinen has been used to taking longer fights in the pro boxing team Finland.

02:25 And this 6-round is a so-called shortcut for him.

02:30 There was a little show from Elia Juusti about his own hand speed.

02:35 We also went straight to the top.

02:40 When we talk about the bigger weight classes, they are much stronger than the smaller ones.

02:50 They are strong fighters, and Kärkkäinen is trying to lift a hook straight from the front.

02:57 But the forehand is probably more experienced than Kärkkäinen.

03:07 I think he is taking it a little bit.

03:13 We have seen everything.

03:17 Difficult style Elia has and he knows how to move.

03:22 Is it because of the preparation?

03:26 Yes, it's a good period for Elia.

03:30 We'll see if he starts to put more weight in the routine.

03:42 When we put the meter a little bit different.

03:47 Maybe he would try to do something in the beginning.

03:52 There was one good strike and change situation where Elia hit nicely.

04:00 And Samuli missed a little bit.

04:04 But it's a round of spinning.

04:07 Round and a tight fight.

04:10 It seems that the tempo is good for both of them.

04:14 Both of them were standing for a minute.

04:18 The break is over and here starts round number two.

04:23 Kärkkäinen with the red gloves and left hand.

04:26 Elia just starts with his own hook.

04:30 Round two. Kärkkäinen is moving calmly.

04:35 He is looking for a place and distance.

04:38 And now a forehand to the guard.

04:42 And there is a forehand.

04:45 With a small body movement Elia gets away from the straights.

04:58 And Samuli has been fixing his feet.

05:02 He has had thick so called "shoes" and sometimes it feels like he is bouncing.

05:07 He is not so nimble today.

05:10 Juusti attacks with his own combination.

05:18 And now Samuli gets a chance to hit the front hook.

05:21 It hit a little bit but the hit softens.

05:24 Elia and Juusti switch at the same time.

05:27 Juusti switches sides sometimes.

05:38 And now a show move.

05:41 He is trying to find a place to relax.

05:45 Kärkkäinen is hitting hard.

05:48 He is hitting the body of the opponent.

05:50 It is a clear tactic.

05:53 If he hits the head he hits the body.

05:56 It is a good direction.

06:00 It was a place to hit with Kärkkäinen.

06:03 Juusti attacks but it went a little bit over.

06:06 Elia and Juusti's strikes.

06:09 Kärkkäinen blocks.

06:12 Elia comes a little bit back.

06:16 It is hard to hit the opponent.

06:19 It is a challenging style for Samuli.

06:23 The opponent is not connected to the classic...

06:28 ...strike.

06:30 Last summer Elia took the lead here in Savonlinna.

06:39 He has taken both of his hits here.

06:42 He took the Puolalais in the summer.

06:47 It was his debut match.

06:49 He was really strong.

06:52 Now Samuli is a bit of a pilot.

06:56 He is going to hit the head.

07:02 Elia and Juusti are breathing heavily.

07:06 Today he has 6 rounds.

07:08 Let's see how he does.

07:10 If he hits the middle of the shot he doesn't need to go to 6th round.

07:14 He has a show of his own speed.

07:17 Did it go to Elia and Juusti?

07:22 I gave it to him as a defensive shot.

07:27 I tried to stay here.

07:29 It was a more striking shot.

07:32 Pekka, you don't care which side you are on.

07:35 It is settled now.

07:37 It is true.

07:39 It was a fair shot.

07:42 Neither of us took a lead.

07:46 I would have expected Elia to catch him in the beginning.

07:56 Samuli hasn't got to the speed yet.

07:59 Samuli is a diesel.

08:03 But here you can see that Elia...

08:08 It was a 3-4.

08:10 Not a perfect shot but still a clear shot.

08:14 Not bad.

08:20 Elia and Juusti are taking the lead.

08:30 He changes sides and starts with a sharp forehand.

08:37 Then a right handed shot.

08:39 He moves well and softly.

08:43 As Pekka said Samuli has experience in long matches.

08:48 He has never stopped in long matches.

08:53 He just keeps pressing.

08:55 Now he is holding his shoes.

09:00 Elia is taking a bit of a lead.

09:05 Samuli is starting to get some air.

09:10 It is not easy for a experienced Samuli Kärkkäinen.

09:19 He is not getting any energy.

09:25 He is trying to get Samuli Kärkkäinen to open the game.

09:34 But he is waiting.

09:36 He is waiting and when the time comes he uses his fast hands.

09:40 Now Samuli is moving to a different place.

09:43 He is getting a bit of pressure.

09:49 He is getting a bit of pressure.

09:56 He is getting a bit of pressure.

10:01 A good counter.

10:03 A surprisingly good counter from Juusti.

10:08 Now Samuli's shot.

10:13 Elia has a certain skill.

10:15 He is constantly sliding from the bottom.

10:18 Even though Samuli gets to hit.

10:21 The power of the hit softens.

10:24 Elia is waiting and gives Kärkkäinen a chance to make a start.

10:28 He tries to hit himself.

10:30 Kärkkäinen with delicate feet.

10:32 A bit of a hammer. 45 seconds left.

10:45 Kärkkäinen is working.

10:47 The body is moving.

10:48 Good shots from the lake.

10:49 The bears are in the gym.

10:50 Juha Sauramaa is watching.

10:53 Samuli Kärkkäinen is also in the Helsinki Savate Club.

10:57 He has done his sparring.

10:58 He has done his sparring.

11:04 A bit of a hammering.

11:05 The weights are down.

11:06 He is ready for the fight.

11:08 He has done his own training and his own activities in the gym.

11:16 A few seconds left.

11:18 He is waking up.

11:20 He is waking up.

11:21 He is waking up.

11:24 He should be more effective.

11:28 Samuli Kärkkäinen in the corner.

11:34 Jari Krönruus gives instructions and puts some Vaseline.

11:39 Samuli Kärkkäinen is in the back.

11:43 Simo Siime is Kärkkäinen.

11:45 He is a co-coach of the Pro Boxing Team Finland.

11:49 He has also done his own sparring.

11:53 He is here with his children.

11:56 He is here with his children.

12:01 What could be more pleasant than this hobby.

12:04 Here we can see some slow-motion footage.

12:09 Samuli Kärkkäinen is in a bit of pain.

12:15 The fourth round is about to start.

12:17 The art of the fight is over.

12:19 He could have been a bit more aggressive.

12:23 But there is still time for the fight.

12:26 Now we have to start winning different and the same hits.

12:32 After this fight there is one more fight.

12:35 Then we have the much talked about, the much awaited,

12:39 Mika Mielonen versus Robert Helenius.

12:42 Good fights from Kärkkäinen, but he is not able to get a head start.

12:47 Elia Juusti is still in pain.

12:50 A bit of a delay.

13:07 Kärkkäinen's hit is too weak.

13:09 Now he is trying to get a hit to the stomach of Elia Juusti.

13:12 Now Samuli hits on the right.

13:14 Elia Juusti is trying to get a right hook to the chin.

13:21 Samuli's fans are clapping their hands.

13:26 Samuli is trying to get some of the power out of Järvenpäälä.

13:33 But sometimes it looks like a waste of power.

13:40 Elia Juusti, as we have said before, has a very difficult style.

13:47 Not a traditional aggressive style.

13:51 It clearly causes difficulties.

13:54 And a shoulder throw to the chest of Kärkkäinen.

14:02 About a minute left.

14:05 Samuli should get a hit and should be able to get it to his own chest.

14:15 And again Elia Juusti is getting a good hit to the chin.

14:23 Elia Juusti is getting a hit to the chin.

14:51 Samuli is getting a hit to the chin.

14:54 About half a minute left.

14:56 Not a big hit to the chin.

14:58 And again a good hit to the chin.

15:02 And again Elia Juusti is getting a hit to the chin.

15:07 Kärkkäinen is trying to get a hit to the chin.

15:10 10 seconds left.

15:12 Juusti misses the hook.

15:14 And again one round is taken.

15:24 And it was number 4.

15:29 Somehow it feels like Samuli is doing a lot of work.

15:33 But Elia Juusti is the one who gets a little more hits.

15:37 But maybe I misinterpreted this.

15:40 But that's the way it is. You have to get a hit.

15:44 Of course.

15:46 Get a hit and don't come to hit.

16:02 But a good roundhouse kick.

16:08 Sometimes you get a hit.

16:10 It depends on the speed.

16:19 But somehow there is no smile on Kärkkäinen's face.

16:24 There is a lot of frustration.

16:27 Elia Juusti's aggressive style has caused clear difficulties for Kärkkäinen.

16:33 And again he gets a hit to the chin.

16:38 And to the forehead.

16:49 A good attack for Kärkkäinen.

17:04 And now Samuli gets a hit to the chin.

17:12 It was a good hit and Elia Juusti got a lot of the crowd's attention.

17:19 Let's see if Kärkkäinen can continue and his fans are always interested in that hit.

17:28 Is Elia a little tired?

17:33 Kärkkäinen is not tired. He is used to 10 round matches.

17:43 And now he gets a hit to the chin.

17:56 That was a nice counter.

18:03 It was clear that he was thinking about that combination.

18:06 He had to get the tape.

18:09 Both were well done.

18:13 Samuli also got a hit.

18:16 Both get a minute.

18:26 Elia Juusti gets a hit to the chin.

18:48 And Kärkkäinen gets a hit to the chin.

18:53 Both get a hard hit.

19:04 Samuli is not hitting. He is just doing nothing.

19:13 Both get a hit.

19:19 Elia Juusti gets a hit to the chin.

19:24 He puts his head down.

19:29 Elia's head is a little too much.

19:33 He is probably a little tired.

19:38 He is running a lot.

19:56 Elia could show that he is tired.

20:05 He is going to do a new and last round.

20:10 Elia has a big lead.

20:14 If he takes this last round, he could do a lot.

20:21 If he gets a win, he will get a big rise in the rankings.

20:25 Kärkkäinen is on the EU-challenger list for 8th place.

20:30 Elia Juusti has a hard win, but there is still a long way to go.

20:35 Like in the match.

20:38 The third match is already...

20:49 The audience was very good.

20:51 Let's smile.

20:54 The aim of the match is to respect the opponent.

21:00 We are friends with everyone.

21:04 Before that, we will take a break.

21:13 Kärkkäinen tries to hit the chin with a taimaisi.

21:29 Now Kärkkäinen gets a hook shot with a taimaisi.

21:35 Pressure, pressure.

21:37 No, no, no.

21:41 Juusti made his own shots.

21:45 If Samuel had a game, he would just take it in his pocket and drive in.

22:09 Elia should do something strange.

22:14 Yes, and now it's a bit worse.

22:19 The next one was a pretty good hook shot.

22:24 Samuel was a hard work, but now he gets a hit with a taimaisi.

22:33 The last round is going to be tough.

22:39 Juusti has a minute left.

22:42 The fans are cheering for their favorite player.

22:48 Both are a bit unlucky.

22:59 Juusti was a bit more lucky in this match.

23:04 But let's see.

23:06 Again, he missed.

23:08 Now Kärkkäinen gets a hook shot.

23:12 Both should be put on the rally.

23:22 25 seconds.

23:26 It's exciting to see how the fans will react to this match.

23:36 10 seconds left.

23:40 Kärkkäinen gets a shot to the chest.

23:42 Juusti gets a shot with two shots.

23:44 A third one to the shoulder.

23:46 And the shoulder is broken.

23:49 Elia Juusti is in a bad mood.

23:53 It's very interesting to see how the fans will react.

24:03 We could be in a bigger trouble.

24:08 Samuel missed the shot.

24:15 It's a tough match.

24:17 Yes, it was a tough match.

24:21 Elia Juusti is a very fast and special player.

24:25 He passes the ball well and then counterattacks.

24:28 He's a fast player.

24:30 Kärkkäinen's body language was decisive.

24:37 The victory is coming.

24:41 But it's not over yet.

24:43 The judges have made their own decisions.

24:46 We'll soon hear the final verdict.

24:53 I think Elia Juusti is very close to winning.

25:03 An interesting card.

25:13 But it's a good match.

25:16 It was a tough match.

25:28 Elia Juusti knows that he would have won.

25:32 We'll see what the judges say.

25:35 It's interesting.

25:37 Some of the audience is standing still.

25:44 No one has left the stage.

25:49 Kärkkäinen wins!

26:17 Kärkkäinen wins!
