00:00OK gentlemen you both have the
00:01instructions of my command at
00:02all times protect yourself at
00:04all time.
00:05Anything from here on up is
00:06good.
00:06Anything from here on up is
00:07good.
00:08Plus let's go.
00:09Shakur when asked about our
00:11Tim Horton and said I don't
00:12sleep on anybody I consider our
00:13team to be a deadly weapon.
00:15Archam Tim Bradley turned to us
00:16yesterday said my mind is free.
00:19Always positive.
00:21That may be his mind but his
00:23body and his gloves are opposite
00:24a guy that's flat out better
00:25than him.
00:26He's got a lot of confidence in
00:28him.
00:28He's an Olympic bronze
00:29medalist with 300 amateur
00:30fights.
00:31He understands how to deal with
00:33Southpaw as he did well against
00:35Frank Martin when he did fight
00:36on a short notice.
00:38So I'm curious to see how he's
00:40going to be able to fight
00:41Shakur Stevenson one of the best
00:42defensive fighters in the game.
00:45His approach in the fight test
00:46has his own loss the fight
00:47against Martin.
00:48It took an evening late with a
00:50damaged eye said this I was only
00:51in the U.S. for four days at
00:52home.
00:53I'm not going to be able to
00:54fight him again.
00:54I'm not going to be able to
00:55fight him again.
00:56I'm not going to be able to
00:57fight him again.
00:58He's a very limited sparring for
01:00that Martin fight feels much
01:01better about what he put forth
01:03in the lead up to Shakur
01:04Stevenson.
01:08Artunian the rhythm type of
01:10fighter changes distance in and
01:12out.
01:15Very fidgety to get in position
01:17but that's how he does it gets
01:20in and out scoots forward lets
01:23his offense off as of right now
01:25keeping a safe distance but at
01:27this point I'm trying to put
01:28pressure on Shakur nice right
01:35hand down to the body told us in
01:36the fighter means that that's
01:37going to be his money punch
01:38instead of trying to hit the
01:39head of Shakur he wants to go
01:40downstairs to be able to land
01:42his right hand and eventually
01:44he's going to come up with the
01:44left foot and I anticipate also
01:48test a level change nice level
01:50change from Artem.
01:54That was a temp right there with
01:56the hook.
01:56I was just going to say that he
01:57would level change throw the
01:58hook and then come behind with
02:00the right hand among
02:01championship caliber opponents
02:03Shakur Stevenson's opponent
02:05connect percentage is sixteen
02:07point seven.
02:08That's best in the world.
02:13We will see what that number
02:14looks like for Artunian as these
02:16early rounds develop.
02:23Now we don't have the same
02:24judges we had last last fight.
02:26You're still on fire.
02:27Everybody is.
02:28I can't wait to wait till you
02:30get on social media tonight and
02:31get into the boxing world on
02:34social media and hear the
02:35reactions to the shock foster
02:37shock of losing by split
02:39decision of ropes and conceso.
02:41The night started with
02:42spectacular fireworks with a
02:44double Mason's TKO with Keyshawn
02:46Davis against Madueno and then
02:50it just went off the cliff with
02:51the scoring of conceso being
02:53awarded a world championship
02:54against a shocky foster who had
02:56defensive mastery in our
02:58co-feature.
03:00He landed the more effective
03:01punches you see Cal say Sal
03:04couldn't even get in range to be
03:05able to land a punch.
03:07We'll have plenty to say about
03:08that on the state of boxing and
03:09Texas in a similar you said a
03:10similar similar thing from
03:12Shakur right now.
03:13Just he's in front of you but
03:15he'll get out of range you see
03:16in the defensive prowess right
03:17now but not a whole lot of
03:19counter punching.
03:20Now I wonder if these the same
03:21judges as they give the person
03:23who's just coming forward
03:25throwing punches.
03:26The round.
03:27Coffee box says he's only going
03:28to two of those punches.
03:30He's coming forward with end of
03:31one.
03:36Those new tiles are falling
03:37right into place until you run
03:39out of what are those called
03:41again.
03:46Oh right.

04:14Hurry in to the Acura summer
04:15performance event going on now.
04:19It's target circle wake up.
04:22What what we circle.
04:24She's saying circle week.
04:25It's the biggest sale this
04:26season.
04:27Great.
04:28Does that mean more savings or
04:29something.
04:29You bet your bottom dealer your
04:31bottom what.
04:33Newark New Jersey Joe Tessitore
04:35and Bradley call the action of
04:38this championship fight for
04:39Stephenson's title defense
04:41against Artem Hartoonian who
04:42of course says hey Artem's got
04:44absolutely nothing to lose.
04:46It was a nondescript first round
04:47as you can see just five total
04:48punches landed.
04:51But you said all the pressures
04:52on Shaquille but you see you see
04:54how what part of it depends on
04:55it depends on timing footwork
04:57rhythm for delivering his
04:59offense.
04:59I mean he's a thinking fighter.
05:01You know he's going to look both
05:02ways before he crossed that
05:03street.
05:04That's how he is.
05:05But he's also an aggressive
05:06fighter.
05:07He likes to assert himself in
05:08there and likes to put mental
05:09pressure on his opponents.
05:10He's trying to inch close again
05:12the defense's core superior
05:18seizure court.
05:19Seizure court just with that
05:20upper body movement get out of
05:22the way by an inch two inches
05:24here or there posting trying to
05:27find that range that Southpaw
05:29stance got twelve rounds of
05:37worship or seems like he's
05:38taking his time having a hard
05:40time finding Hartoonian's
05:43rhythm in a fidgety fighter.
05:45Yeah very smart in there as
05:46well almost like a natural
05:48softball coordinates.
05:49Yes he does.
05:50Very awkward.
05:52And you see him right there
05:53circle around to the weak side
05:54and let you know that he knows
05:55how to handle a Southpaw he gave
05:59Frank Martin all he can handle.
06:01He really did.
06:02Trying to get that lead foot to
06:03the outside trying to touch him
06:08with that jab to the body
06:09perhaps shoot the right hand
06:11down the middle support.
06:13Got to be careful.
06:14He got it.
06:15He better be careful.
06:16He bagging up.
06:17He's a champion bagging up.
06:19Harvey just needs to let his
06:20hands go.
06:39So she of course been patient
06:40game he's been he's trying to
06:41get Artem to overcommit trying
06:45to be clean with his work.
06:46So of course not.
06:47He's not right now trying to
06:49assert himself.
06:50He's taking a look at Artem is
06:52the second round and I just want
07:05to let everybody at home know
07:06that I do got my coffee.
07:11Oh it's good to be well
07:12caffeinated Timmy.
07:13I know you're referencing what
07:14we saw back in November with the
07:17fight that was highly criticized
07:18with Shakur.
07:20Now he will say hey I was
07:21injured going into that fight.
07:22I did exactly what I needed to
07:24do to win a fight no matter how
07:26much lack of entertainment and
07:27how much fan criticism was there
07:30to be had.
07:30Only one hundred and five
07:31punches were landed in his deal
07:33Santos Shakur fight.
07:40Are you crying.
07:41No there's no crying in
07:43baseball.
07:44Or with the Capital One Venture
07:45card because it lets you earn
07:47unlimited double miles on every
07:48purchase every day and you can
07:50use those miles on any travel
07:52purchase.
07:54What's in your wallet.
07:57Those new tiles are falling
07:58right into place until you run
08:00out of what are those called
08:02again.
08:07Oh right.
08:10The Home Depot app is made for
08:12doing that doesn't miss a beat
08:14so you can find what you need
08:16fast and keep things moving in
08:18the right direction for doing
08:21that doesn't stop.
08:22Download the Home Depot app.
08:24It's made for doing.
08:38You mentioned the unique style
08:40of arts and hard to me.
08:41You said Shakur and his
08:43grandfather's trainer Wally
08:44Moses were discussing it after
08:46that second round he says
08:47listen there's a lot of
08:48bouncing going around but I
08:50think I can find him and Wally
08:51just said him just stab him
08:52stab him to the body.
08:54So watch for that lead right
08:56hand and see if that jab can
08:57find the body to try to slow and
08:59contain our tune in our tune in
09:01coming forward to that block or
09:04slipped by Shakur all Shakur has
09:07to do is come come for him.
09:08That's it.
09:09You got to get aggressive right
09:10now.
09:11Our tuning in is aggressive.
09:13He's strong.
09:14So take some time to wear down a
09:16bit.
09:16But all he has to do is pressure
09:18our Tony.
09:19That's where he's weak.
09:22As long as he allowed our Tony
09:24and to operate like this on the
09:25outside and get comfortable to
09:28set up his offense he's going to
09:29struggle with him.
09:40He's got to be a little bit
09:41more aggressive.
09:42He's got to be a little bit
09:43more aggressive.
10:03Again Shakur not willing to
10:05engage at the moment.
10:07Here he comes.
10:07Here he initiate the offense
10:09there.
10:10He's got to be able to block
10:11that effort from our tuning in.
10:15You know one of the things that
10:16Shakur he stays true to
10:17himself and Shakur is is fine.
10:21It's going like this.
10:22He's he's OK with that.
10:24He told me if I said well what
10:25it what happens if the fight is
10:27isn't isn't you know appealing
10:29to the fans.
10:29He says I don't care.
10:31My objective is to go in there
10:33win and go home to my family.
10:35That's my objective.
10:36And I'm happy with that.
10:38What was that line he said to us
10:39yesterday about I'm finally
10:41comfortable I'm comfortable in
10:42the villain role.
10:43I wasn't ready before but I'm
10:45fine being the villain.
10:46Well dad explains it right there
10:47on the back of his trunks.
10:48Twitters and Twitters and
10:50Stevenson he's riding with it on
10:52the back of his trunks.
10:53He's riding with it.
11:00Of course starting to put it
11:01together assault now.
11:06Manny put that right hand out
11:08there and all of a sudden pulled
11:10the trigger on it.
11:10The left came behind it.
11:15Once he finds that range once he
11:18feels like he can fire off this
11:20will not go well for her to
11:23our Tony is doing a good job
11:25again changing his rhythm up not
11:27coming in the same way.
11:30Look at getting that getting
11:31that lead foot outside of
11:32support to be able to set up his
11:33right hand.
11:34Now he's inching closer.
11:36He's doing the right thing.
11:37That's like those new tiles are
11:46falling right into place until
11:48you run out of what are those
11:50called again.
11:56Oh right.
11:59The Home Depot app is made for
12:01doing that doesn't miss a beat

12:04fast and keep things moving in
12:07the right direction for doing

12:10Download the Home Depot app.
12:12It's made for doing hurry in to
12:24the Acura summer a performance
12:26event going on now like a king
12:30who's on the budget three
12:32tasty options fries drinking
12:33nuggets all for five bucks.
12:35Wait that can't be right.
12:36Just confirm that that's the
12:37real price for Stevenson only
12:44spent about half of that minute
12:47between rounds even on the
12:48stools got up right away ready
12:50to get to work against our tune
12:52in as we get around number four
12:53but I want to take you back to
12:54round number three and the skill
12:57level from Shakur Stevenson what
12:59he was able to do with that
13:00right hand and then the left
13:02hand behind it.
13:02Let's take a look back just a
13:04lead in using a lead in as a
13:06distraction.
13:06You don't always have to to
13:08punch or shoot a jab with that
13:11lead hand.
13:13You can use it as a distraction
13:15you see him right there blind
13:16you're blind and out of position
13:18I see you committing you step
13:19forward.
13:20Here it is again.
13:21Distraction boom boom coming
13:23right down the middle.
13:25That's beautiful IQ right there
13:26from Shakur and skill.
13:28And with that he stepped up the
13:30offense a little more in round
13:31number three after not
13:32described first two rounds 10 of
13:3325 was Shakur Stevenson that
13:35program went to the body on the
13:38inside against our two nice
13:41controls on the inside.
13:42You see Shakur manhandling
13:45Hartoonian on the inside little
13:49by little he's going to start
13:50putting more and more pressure
13:52on our team.
13:54Again he's not running he's
13:55standing right directly in front
13:56of our team.
14:03He's not going to be able to
14:04get away from our team.
14:05He's not going to be able to
14:06get away from our team.
14:16Too much combination from
14:17Shakur.
14:18Hartoonian took it well though
14:23good body shot by our team.
14:25See he got a plan test.
14:27Hartoonian has a plan.
14:29He's just not coming in there
14:31not here to win.
14:32He does.
14:32He's digging downstairs.
14:33He's not going to be able to
14:34get away from our team has just
14:36yet.
14:37And eventually I think he's
14:38going to bring that right foot
14:40up top.
14:42He's going to try to catch
14:43Shakur sleeping.
14:44He's going to get him used to
14:45those body shots coming
14:46downstairs and he's going to
14:47try to sneak him over the top
14:50with that right hand looping
14:51right hand.
14:52There it is.
14:53There was a temp right there
14:54to left hand guard by Shakur
14:56was able to block that.
14:57Then he sends the left hand to
14:58the body right on the belt line.
15:01You heard Alan Huggins the
15:02quarterback for again putting
15:09that mental pressure on our team
15:11just walking him down being in
15:13range not getting hit.
15:14Hartoonian right there does a
15:15good job of stepping out of
15:16range stepping around.
15:19So for avoiding getting hit
15:24Shakur right now placing shots
15:26clean shots right now.
15:32Shakur.
15:49Are you crying.
15:50No there's no crying in

16:02What's in your wallet.
16:05Those new tiles are falling
16:07right into place until you run
16:09out of what are those called
16:10again.
16:15Oh right.

16:30Download the Home Depot app.
16:32It's made for doing.
16:49Start around number five of our
16:50world championship fight and
16:52just get the sense that Shakur
16:53Stevenson knows where this thing
16:55is headed a little by little
16:57against the awkward Hartoonian
17:00watch when this ends and he
17:02walks back and he tells his
17:04corner I'm going to stop him I'm
17:06going to stop him.
17:08Mark Kregel.
17:09How do you see it.
17:10Thirty nine thirty seven three
17:12rounds to one Shakur
17:13Stevenson.
17:14Listen he's the bigger stronger
17:15younger guy I'd like to see him
17:17start walking him down.
17:19And then when Shakur spoke to
17:21his grandfather his trainer
17:23Wally he said Yeah you just let
17:25your hands go you are going to
17:26stop.
17:30You've got to let your
17:31opposition weaken a bit.
17:32You know when you feel them
17:33still strong you still feel
17:34those punches on the gloves are
17:36still pretty heavy.
17:38Start paying attention
17:40downstairs you start laying
17:41shots on them you put pressure
17:42again that mental pressure make
17:44you our Tony and work when he
17:46doesn't want to work making him
17:48having to think harder than
17:49ever by being as close as your
17:51core is and making him throw and
17:53miss shots like that.
17:55Now the only thing that's missing
17:56from Shakur again just is his
17:58core again just as in the last
18:00fight you're missing
18:03opportunities to counter
18:04support if he steps that up the
18:07process of starting starting
18:08with faster and that's the
18:12breakdown process.
18:15Look at the bolo bolo is there
18:16he can dip it underneath with
18:19the left hand.
18:21It was there.
18:24But your core right now is
18:25slowly starting to walk forward
18:26start trying to systematically
18:27break down the plan.
18:32Fortuna.
18:32Oh there's no doubt.
18:33Just look at the body position
18:34here around number five and
18:38that's where he thinks he's
18:39weak.
18:40He thinks he's weak downstairs
18:40test.
18:41He told us in the fight I mean
18:42he said and that's why he went
18:43through a lead up he was just
18:44like I hope you've been doing
18:45your sit ups because I think he
18:48saw something in the fight.
18:51I think Martin heard him down to
18:52the body.
18:54You can see where that left hand
18:55is targeted.
18:57Any chance that your core has
19:00as a short right hand on top and
19:03then he splits the guard then he
19:04finishes down to the body.
19:08He's in there fighting the
19:09ghost right now.
19:11Our two the jab from support.
19:25He's going to get a shot.
19:29Interesting to see as Shakur has
19:31grown older and gone up in
19:33divisions now 27 years old with
19:35that fully evolved man strength
19:37of his.
19:38He's brought out across the
19:39shoulders and you hear the
19:41sudden the punches and physical
19:43presence has clearly changed as
19:44the years have gone on.
19:55He's got a lot of power.
20:25He's got a lot of power.
20:26I believe you.
20:27I believe you.
20:28Let's do it off that.
20:30Let's do it off that.
20:33I want to take the ball.
20:35OK.
20:36Well we'll talk to you.
20:38Get that job.
20:51First down.
20:53Wow.
20:54That angle right there he was
20:55that jab that lead in was
20:57interesting for Shakur right on
20:58the inside right underneath the
21:00lead hand of our tuning and then
21:03a little something down to the
21:05body.
21:05Shakur is adamant he's going to
21:07stop our tuning.
21:09He keeps he's in a corner
21:10telling his grandfather he's
21:11saying I'm going to stop him.
21:12Just be patient.
21:14He's wearing down a bit.
21:15I've got time.
21:18Twenty one punches landed in
21:19that fifth round.
21:19That's a fight by 15 of those
21:21were power punches.
21:23How many times did he get hit.
21:25Well eight.
21:26Our tuning had eight punches
21:27landed.
21:30Our tuning is only landing 16
21:31percent of his total punches.
21:33Remember when we started this
21:34fight I said opponent connect
21:36percentage was sixteen point
21:38seven percent number one in the
21:39world.
21:39He's at 15 percent right now is
21:41our.
21:45You wonder why he's fighting
21:46hard to me tonight.
21:47There's nobody else in the
21:48division wants to face you.
21:51Yeah he's so boring.
21:53He's not that good.
21:54That's what everybody's saying
21:55but nobody wants to fight him.
21:56Your favorite fighter does not
21:57want to fight him.
21:59Understand that.
22:06Is he running.
22:06Nope he's right there in front
22:08of me.
22:14What a good body shot that was
22:16three punch combination the left
22:17hand in the midst of it went to
22:18the body and he's sitting down
22:20on his shots to test sitting
22:21down even harder on his punches
22:23just that was forward.
22:24Yes.
22:25That maturity you're talking
22:26about.
22:29That's a great shot overhead and
22:31from our crew and look at the
22:32defense right in front right in
22:33front.
22:33Yeah.
22:34It's not what I heard him with
22:35that body with that body.
22:37That's why Hartoon reacted
22:39looking to the ref.
22:40He got him with that body shot.
22:42This is what I thought was
22:44talking about the beginning.
22:44He got a bag of our team.
22:46You bag him up.
22:47He doesn't know what to do.
22:48Hard to be in.
22:49He called the distance on him.
22:50He's somewhat of a mid range to
22:51outside fighter again but he
22:54slowed down a bit those body
22:55shots and slow those legs down.
22:56He's not bouncing around.
22:57He's not as fidgety as he once
22:58was.
22:59Now he in there.
23:00He wants a Bible.
23:01Now he's in there.
23:01He's in there.
23:02He's in there.
23:02He's in there.
23:03He's in there.
23:03He's in there.
23:03He's in there.
23:04He's in there.
23:04He's in there.
23:04He's in there.
23:04He's in there.
23:04He's in there.
23:04He's in there.
23:05He's in there.
23:05He's in there.
23:06He's in there.
23:06He's in there.
23:07He's in there.
23:07He's in there.
23:07He's in there.
23:07He's in there.
23:08He's in there.
23:08He's in there.
23:08He's in there.
23:09He's in there.
23:09He's in there.
23:09He's in there.
23:09He's in there.
23:10He's in there.
23:10He's in there.
23:10He's in there.
23:10He's in there.
23:10He's in there.
23:11He's in there.
23:11He's in there.
23:11He's in there.
23:11He's in there.
23:11He's in there.
23:12He's in there.
23:12He's in there.
23:12He's in there.
23:12He's in there.
23:12He's in there.
23:13He's going to catch up with him.
23:15He knows it too.
23:16Shakur knows he's got him.
23:18Left hand to the body.
23:19He's doing damage to the body.
23:28Martunian's effort blocks.
23:29Short left hands on the inside
23:31from the champion.
23:34Shakur's a real pro.
23:35Don't rush the process.
23:37Take your time.
23:37He knows.
23:38He has experience.
23:39He understands when this man is
23:40weakening.
23:43You saw the same thing with Tank.
23:45It's the same IQ with Tank.
23:47Tank slowly allowed Martunian to
23:49wear the nerves up and down.
23:50And then what'd he do?
23:51He took him out.
23:52The only difference is Shakur
23:53doesn't have that one punch
23:55power as Tank does, but he has
23:57better defense.
24:00The very strong round by Shakur
24:03Stevenson.
24:10Brilliant stuff by Shakur
24:11Stevenson right here.
24:13Stepping back, getting out of
24:14range, took that right hand, but
24:15that left hand has been money
24:17for him.
24:20On the outside, mid range,
24:22staying close to his opposition,
24:23putting that mental pressure
24:24and again on his opposition.
24:27Being close enough to be able to
24:28land shots like this and evade
24:30punches at the same time.
24:32One of the most frustrating
24:33things as a fighter to having to
24:36deal with across from you.
24:38Now you look at those copy box
24:39numbers, but let me just focus
24:41in on the last two rounds where
24:42he has landed 32 power punches.
24:46He was 21 to 40 overall in that
24:48last round.
24:49He is in control.
24:51A couple of rounds ago, he
24:52walked back to his corner and
24:53said, I'm going to stop him.
24:55You get the sense that that's
24:57coming sooner rather than later.
25:04He said that after the fourth
25:06round and then look at the
25:08punches by round and the
25:09effectiveness of landing 21.
25:12And 21 now here comes round
25:16number seven.
25:21Artunia is trying to change
25:22things up now.
25:23He's starting to get his little
25:24bounce back, trying to be a
25:26little bit more deceiving with
25:27his offense.
25:30The Shakur is not buying it,
25:32still paying attention
25:33downstairs.
25:35Mark Cribble, what are they
25:36saying in the corner of Shakur
25:37Stevenson?
25:38Wally Moses said, Hey, listen,
25:40this guy does not like backing
25:41up, but he don't like it to the
25:42body.
25:43We keep on with that.
25:44We're going to stop him.
25:45And to your point, Mark, 27
25:46body connects for Shakur
25:48Stevenson, 14 in the last two
25:51rounds.
26:04Shakur anticipated that loop in
26:06right hand.
26:06And that's the left hand that
26:07came, right?
26:08Yeah, then he came right,
26:09trying to split it with the
26:10right hand, with the left hand.
26:11And then he came down the
26:12middle.
26:15Speaking of splitting with the
26:16left hand down the middle, good
26:18camera work by our crew right
26:19there.
26:22Martunian's right hand's blocked
26:24again.
26:27He pulls back inches, inches to
26:29make those shots.
26:30Oh, there was a, there was a
26:31body shot right on the hip
26:33really, with the left hand.
26:34Martunian firing back, trying to
26:36stay game.
26:41Of course, showing his
26:42physicality on the inside,
26:43standing firm, not being moved
26:46like a mountain.
26:46Whoa, what a big shot.
26:48Short left hand.
26:49Martunian backs up.
26:58Good body shot right there from
26:59Martunian.
27:01You turn into a row for
27:03Stevenson.
27:03You turn into favor test.
27:06Yeah.
27:06You wonder how many more body
27:07shots Martunian's going to be
27:08able to take.
27:10Good offensive assault right
27:11there.
27:12Not a whole lot landed, but I
27:14like the offensive.
27:16I like the assertiveness from
27:17Martunian.
27:19And Shakur, just tracing that
27:22line, following him back,
27:24hunting down his prey.
27:26Right hand went to the body that
27:28time.
27:28One, two, straight left hand.
27:32And where is he?
27:33Directly in front of him.
27:39Sweeping left hand.
27:48In complete control.
27:52Watch the feet.
27:52Watch the feet.
27:54It's all done with his eyes,
27:55Tess.
27:57Again, I talk about IQ.
27:58IQ.
27:59Good shot.
28:01Let's listen in to Shakur
28:03Stevenson and his grandfather.
28:10How you doing?
28:13Okay.
28:14You know when you dabbing
28:15this nigga, he ain't giving
28:15nothing back, right?
28:17All right.
28:18I know he's trying to survive
28:20to make it easy.
28:21So look, don't leave out of
28:23that.
28:23Let me go to your left.
28:24Okay.
28:25And look, if he go around to get
28:27around that corner, hit him in
28:29the fucking head.
28:31We got water.
28:31Don't worry about it.
28:32Okay.
28:34Look, he's using his left hand.
28:36Stop looking him off his ass.
28:37Stop using the left.
28:38Stop using the left.
28:49Inside game right here.
28:50Shakur Stevenson comfortable
28:52inside the pocket.
28:54In that shell type defense.
29:01Good defense right there.
29:02Look at Shakur having fun.
29:03Made that left hand miss
29:06by inches.
29:09Good defense from Shakur, of
29:10course.
29:12I would love to see a little
29:13bit more offense.
29:13I want to see him ramp it up a
29:15bit.
29:16He has
29:17Hartoonian exactly where he
29:18wants him now.
29:19He slowed down a bit.
29:20He's directly in front of him.
29:22Start placing more and more
29:23shots on him.
29:24He touches him to the body.
29:26That has been the target.
29:39That's one thing that's not
29:40really assertive.
29:42You see Shakur, his plan is to
29:43get it in the inside and go
29:44down to the body.
29:45But he needs to be more
29:46assertive with his jab.
29:47He'll be able to set up even
29:48more offense off his jab.
29:50Because you're going to occupy
29:52him with that jab.
29:52You're going to move him with
29:53that jab.
29:54You're going to have control of
29:55him when you hit him with that
29:56jab.
29:57Boy, such a good sense of range.
29:58Doesn't he?
29:59He's that upper body.
30:00He's the best at it.
30:01It's like just enough.
30:04Yeah, he's the best at it.
30:09And that never puts himself out
30:11of position to fire off either.
30:16Again, if he starts putting his
30:18combinations together, maybe one
30:20or two.
30:23Just like that.
30:27He'd be a lot more attractive.
30:32He's walking him down now.
30:34He's walking him down.
30:35He's walking him down.
30:35He's walking him down.
30:36He's walking him down.
30:37He's walking him down.
30:37He's walking him down.
30:39He's walking him down.
30:40He's walking him down.
30:40He's walking him down.
30:44Trying to corral Hartoonian.
30:47Hartoonian circling out to his
30:49right.
30:50Well, the thing is he's trying
30:51to get Hartoonian to work.
30:53And Hartoonian is like, no, I'm
30:55not going to work.
30:55Yes, because he knows the
30:56results if he does.
30:57Exactly.
30:58But again, he's trying to get
30:59him to expand some of that
31:02energy.
31:03To break them down even more.
31:04And once he does that, then
31:06he's going to try to sift the
31:07by digging downstairs on it oh that went to the body that right hand
31:16that's what we're supposed to get out
31:19oh
31:29of course staying right on top of them
31:49okay
31:58his first challenge for a world title
32:19i know
32:37okay
32:49to come with the hook
33:00there's our dear friend one of the greatest ever do it
33:03great work but proper also sitting ringside tonight
33:07to watch a guy they have mentored the guy who's like a little brother to them
33:12shakur stevenson this lightweight division with shakur
33:17tank davis with loma chanko of course tank and loma
33:22widely reported deep in negotiations for a unification bout later this year
33:35shakur got to figure out a way to get this guy up out of here man
33:38he does i mean he he has to start putting more offense together
33:42he needs to be more assertive with his offense
33:52take a little bit more risk to entertain these fans that's just what i believe
33:56now if he's comfortable with just doing this that's one thing but
34:00you want to say you that guy and you want people to believe it
34:05you got to do things like that well let's see if he does do those things here
34:09round number nine
34:15what we say just don't talk about it that you got to show us
34:19he keeps wrapping that right hand around under that elbow to the body he's been
34:23looking at the left hand to the body throughout but now the right hand getting involved
34:28there it is again finishing that four punch combination with the right hand to the body
34:38a little bit of separation a straight jab to split the guard goes underneath to the
34:52body with the left hand the short shot combination you got to continue to get
35:00more consistent with that work oh there's the left hand to the body all right he's on the track
35:05he's the one with the traction now right artunian trying to survive shakur here another body shot
35:11good combination from stevenson minutes ago in round nine that's it get you just get more
35:16consistent you don't have to use all the punching power no just keep touching them touching them
35:19touching them that has an effect as well there it is that's how you do it artunian right now
35:31fighting back see artunian see he don't he don't want to get stopped he's fighting back
35:39and now he's bagging off shakur with this offense yeah it's actually his best defense
35:44is simply throwing like that let's pick it up pick it up you okay all right all right let's
35:49pick it up okay okay let's go see but now that hartunian just worked now shakur got to come
35:56back with his offense now that's how you do it he just got throwing throwing a ton of punches
36:05now it's your turn there you go let's see if artunian if artunian if he returns anything now
36:26oh
36:45dominate
36:46this motherfucker
37:06some flags in there go to your flag all right dominate
37:11There's Bud Crawford pound for
37:15pound elite recent welterweight
37:19dominator Errol Spence last
37:21summer on August 3rd at 154
37:25pounds.
37:26Mark Regal in that last round it
37:27was the first round where
37:29Hartoonian hit double digit
37:31connects he had 12 punches
37:32landing against for Stevenson.
37:34How do you have it.
37:36Eighty nine eighty two.
37:38To me with one round to start.
37:40But he showed me something last
37:42round.
37:42He's not going to go so easy.
37:44No he is not.
37:45Oh nice.
37:46I would bet on the inside.
37:47To.
37:48Those on the belt line again.
37:51I mean if you don't do enough
37:53offense enough work and make
37:56them pay then he's going to
37:58start getting more confidence.
38:00Our tuning is there.
38:02He's saying man you're not going
38:03you're not going to get a
38:04chance to get a chance to get
38:05a chance to get a chance to
38:05get a chance to get a chance to
38:06He's saying man you're not going
38:07you're not going to take me out
38:08and you're not going to show me
38:09the door.
38:10OK I'm going to be right here in
38:11your grill.
38:12He's gaining more confidence.
38:14So I've got to start putting his
38:15punches together if he's going
38:16to get the stoppage.
38:17It's been done.
38:18It's a bit dominant dominant
38:19performance but if you want to
38:21look spectacular you've got to
38:23get that stoppage.
38:36You've got to get that stoppage.
38:39You've got to get that stoppage.
38:49Tony is still strong.
38:50He's still strong.
38:51He is.
38:52I could listen.
38:53It's a game effort.
38:54He's missing most of them or
38:56having them blocked by that
38:57cross left hand by Shakur but he
39:00has spirited Mark what can you
39:06say to him.
39:07You're not going to win on
39:07points.
39:08Forget about everything.
39:09Forget about technique.
39:10Go with your heart.
39:13He has shown plenty straight
39:15left hand from Shakur splitting
39:17the guard.
39:20Yes you forget it's going to be
39:21hard.
39:23It's going to be real hard to
39:24get the stoppage now.
39:25It really is.
39:26He had him.
39:27He had softened him up a bit a
39:29few rounds ago but right now
39:31Artem believes he believes he
39:33belongs now.
39:33And he's starting to come on.
39:45The shot.
39:46Only Moses the trainer of
39:47Shakur Stevenson told him before
39:50this round.
39:51If you use your jab more you
39:53will get rid of them.
39:54You said that a few rounds ago.
39:55Yeah.
39:57Yeah.
39:57He's just walking him down.
39:58He's not he's not giving him
39:59anything.
40:00You know the shot that you don't
40:01see is the way he's going to
40:02blinding jab would do that.
40:04Very close with that softball
40:05right.
40:08Again Shakur getting hit more
40:09because he's trying to he's
40:10trying to force the knockout.
40:32He's going to get up to me.
40:35We can't take no chances on
40:36that.
40:40If you don't stop him if you
40:41keep the bus on him he'll be
40:42ready to break.
40:45But you think he's going to
40:46want to keep punching.
40:48He's not going to punch you
40:49though.
40:51It doesn't matter man.
40:53We don't know how to.
40:56I'm sorry.
40:58I want you to be.
41:02I want you to be.
41:03I want you to be.
41:24That was a very interesting
41:25exchange between Wally
41:28grandfather and Shakur of
41:30hearing some of the things you're saying, Sam, in terms of just wanting to see more
41:34offense.
41:35He misses Wendell.
41:36He misses Wendell.
41:37It was a few rounds ago.
41:38You saw Hardem.
41:39You saw her seeing him weaken a bit.
41:40He was taking more shots.
41:41Standing in play.
41:42Now, he's caught his second win.
41:43He's comfortable with the power that Shakur is doing.
41:44Shakur got to just let his hands go a little bit more.
41:45Be more offensive-minded.
41:46That don't mean don't pay attention to defense, because you're going to lose.

42:51I don't know how I would feel if my own fans...
42:55Are they booing him or are they booing the fact that it's round 11 and they thought if he stepped it up that it would have got rid of him?
43:02Exactly.
43:03Are they booing the style of fight that it's turned into at this point?
43:08I don't know if it's the style.
43:09I don't know if it's the style of fight.
43:11They clearly support him and love coming out for him.
43:14It's just...
43:17They expect...
43:18A statement tonight.
43:19Yes.
43:20They expected him to get rid of...
43:21As he said.
43:22Tonight is about reminding people that I'm that guy.
43:33His support doesn't have that one-punch power like a Tank Davis has.
43:39So his knockouts are going to come...
43:41It's going to be more of an accumulative type of thing.
43:44But he still, again, he has to accumulate more damage.
43:47And he hasn't seemed to be able to do that as often as he wants to.
44:09I'm really curious to hear what happens with trainer and fighter at the end of this 11th round.
44:17If Wally backs off.
44:20Or if he suggests that he goes for it.
44:25Let's listen in.
44:48Let me hear you.
44:49Let me hear you.
44:50Go at it.
44:51Go at it.
44:52We know you don't want to get knocked out.
44:53Go at me.
44:54It's a box.
44:55Right.
44:56Let's go.
44:57Let's go.
44:58Start doubling and tripling that.
44:59How you slide in on a guy.
45:00Start sliding him on an angle on the chin.
45:02Alright?
45:03Okay?
45:11Alright.
45:12Go have fun.
45:15Don't worry about that.
45:17Give him a hard one.
45:18Dominate this round.
45:19That's all.
45:22So the exchange was, I know you want to knock out.
45:25But he's just trying to survive right now.
45:28It's true.
45:30It really is.
45:31And he's in it with a seasoned fighter.
45:36And when I say seasoned, you have three amateur fights.
45:39You're a pro.
45:42You're a pro already.
45:43159 to 68 is the connect advantage.
45:46Hartoonian's landed only 17% of his total punches thrown.
45:51Stevenson's landed 40%.
45:53It's a clinic, Jeff.
45:55A boxing clinic.
45:58No running.
45:59He didn't run.
46:01He probably could have put his punches together more.
46:03But as far as his accuracy when he wants to really land, he has.
46:09He's going down to the body.
46:10He's staying close.
46:11Now he's getting back on his jab.
46:17Right hand to the body from Hartoonian.
46:19Shakur patiently just stays in the pocket looking for an opportunity.
46:23But you see Hartoonian, he's defensively responsible.
46:28He's not trying to get hit with anything either.
46:46Nice.
47:02There's that back power hand.
47:16Nice.
47:27A combination that finishes with the right hand upstairs.
47:31Best work in these later rounds.
47:34Everybody's got to do more.
47:35They've got to stay consistent.
47:36That's the only way.
47:37That is the only way.
47:42Reminder that we will have all the news and analysis
47:45a recap of the entire evening.
