00:00
Remember, I'll be in my command to all team, defend yourselves at all time.
00:09
Touch gloves, touch them now.
00:14
Victor Loughlin, our referee.
00:20
Nice setting on Oakwell, there's a QR code, give that a scan, get involved in live scoring of the fights, live blog.
00:30
Round one.
01:00
As the referee is trying to get him to go back to the neutral corner, he's miles away from the neutral corner.
01:06
Boxing continues and McKenna just piles into Laws again here.
01:10
Laws swings with a left hook, swings with a right.
01:13
He's got to try and do something to ride this out here, Joe Laws.
01:16
Fighting fire with fire is maybe not the best policy.
01:21
McKenna looking to rein in with rights and lefts.
01:24
Missing as much as he lands, Laws grits his teeth, throws a massive overhand left.
01:29
And then the referee comes in to split them.
01:31
There is barely time here, Macklin, to draw breath.
01:35
Well, this is literally the epitome of a shootout.
01:38
Laws comes running across the ring, throwing bombs.
01:42
I think he's possibly punched himself out here.
01:45
McKenna unloaded with two hands.
01:47
Big right hand knocks him back to the rope.
01:49
Back comes Laws.
01:50
And Laws again there, who I think might have done something to his foot.
01:54
He just seems to be limping slightly over on the far side.
01:57
Throws another left hand.
01:59
And we're not even halfway through the first round.
02:03
McKenna just setting his feet and just slinging in that right hand.
02:07
Laws trying to dip low at the waist and stay out of the way.
02:10
McKenna, feet planted wide, just pouring in with both fists.
02:16
Laws leans in and tries to grab a hold of him.
02:19
As soon as he does, the referee breaks the two of them up.
02:24
Big shot.
02:26
And down goes McKenna.
02:28
He walks straight up to that one.
02:30
What a shot from the Bedwell Bomber.
02:33
And he needed that.
02:34
It came from absolutely nowhere into the final minute.
02:38
And now it's Laws' turn to set his feet and swing for the fences.
02:43
Left hand into the body.
02:45
Digs in the toes.
02:46
Right hand into the body.
02:48
I'm trying to get a look into McKenna's eyes.
02:50
He felt that left hand.
02:52
He still hasn't shaken it off.
02:54
Laws needs to try and pick those punches here.
02:57
Left hand high on the head.
02:59
I think McKenna felt that one too.
03:01
30 seconds remaining in round one.
03:04
Laws just leans in.
03:05
Victor Laughlin breaks him.
03:07
Laws knows that he could almost be on the brink here.
03:10
Doubles up on the left hand.
03:12
McKenna answers.
03:13
Right hand from Laws.
03:15
Closing stages of the round.
03:17
This has been absolutely unbelievable.
03:21
He needs the bell here.
03:22
Legs are still unsteady.
03:23
It doesn't even look like he's got any strength in those punches.
03:26
Left to the body there from McKenna.
03:28
Laws swings.
03:30
Looks for the uppercut.
03:31
Doesn't quite land it.
03:33
Three minutes of absolute, utter mayhem.
03:52
There was the first knockdown.
03:53
That was a good shot.
03:55
That was it.
03:56
That must have been inside the first 30 seconds.
04:00
And it looked like it was all McKenna then.
04:03
Really for the rest of the round.
04:08
And I think he switched off mentally to his own defenses.
04:14
And then whack there with that left hook.
04:18
He was looking for his own left hook to the body of McKenna.
04:21
Right hand was low.
04:22
Got clipped.
04:23
Boom.
04:24
Right on the chin.
04:27
Went down.
04:28
And even when he got up, his legs, they were unsteady.
04:30
And even at the final bell, walking back,
04:33
it didn't feel like he really had his feet underneath him.
04:39
So into the seconds.
04:41
And it'll be fascinating to see if McKenna has managed to recover.
04:44
Because as we say in boxing, sometimes when a fighter gets hit,
04:48
they stay hit.
04:49
It can be very hard to shake it off.
04:51
Laws looking to rip with that left.
04:53
McKenna digging in with the uppercuts.
04:55
And these two just go straight back to it.
04:58
There has not been a second's respite in this fight,
05:02
right from the first bell.
05:03
It's what we expected.
05:05
It's what we hoped for.
05:07
But already, it has over-delivered.
05:11
And Laws again, just looking for that hook.
05:13
He thinks that McKenna is ready to go here, I think.
05:16
And he's happy to go after it.
05:18
Full, full force.
05:19
McKenna trying to work to the body.
05:22
Trying to do something to deter Laws.
05:24
But there's still that shaky look about him, Matt.
05:26
I think he's been stunned, McKenna.
05:28
I think he really has knocked a lot of strength out of him.
05:32
There was one low there, I thought, from Laws.
05:34
McKenna far and back, but he's still...
05:41
He's in a daze, isn't he?
05:42
He's in a fog.
05:43
He's trying to fight his way through that fog.
05:46
It's a difficult, difficult thing to do.
05:48
If he can do this, McKenna,
05:50
then it will be a huge, huge tick in the margin.
05:53
It really will.
05:54
Just leaning in, trying to double up on that left hook.
05:57
They were good shots there from Stephen McKenna.
06:00
But Laws again, backs him up
06:02
and looks to let his own left hand go.
06:04
Joe Laws has put an awful lot into this
06:06
in the first four and a half minutes.
06:08
And McKenna now just turns him on the ropes
06:11
and starts to work his own right hand.
06:22
Looking for that left again, Laws.
06:24
But McKenna is having a good little passage here
06:27
the last 20 seconds or so.
06:29
He's just managed to turn off the ropes.
06:32
But there again is that left hook
06:36
and it rocks McKenna right back onto his heels.
06:39
He did well to stay up there
06:41
because that again was delivered and landed
06:44
very, very clean by Laws
06:46
who knows that he has the ability to hurt McKenna
06:49
and to put him down.
06:51
But the Irishman is showing a lot of spirit,
06:53
a lot of bottle here
06:55
to dig in and somehow get through this.
06:57
Yeah, he's really digging in deep here, McKenna,
06:59
because he got shook badly again with that left hook.
07:01
He leaned in to throw his own left hook to the body.
07:04
Again, the right hand comes down just like he did then
07:07
and he keeps getting caught with the left hook to the head.
07:10
You know, if I was down in the corner, I'd be saying,
07:12
you know what, sack off that left hook to the body.
07:14
Every time you lean down to throw,
07:16
you're getting caught with the left hook pounded to the head.
07:19
Because the state he's in, McKenna,
07:22
he's got to somehow try and give those resistance levels
07:25
a chance to build back up,
07:26
but Laws just will not let him do it
07:29
and McKenna happy to engage himself there.
07:32
Again, just pushing Laws back to the ropes.
07:34
Final few seconds of round two
07:36
and another 180 seconds of absolutely breathless action.
07:41
And the people in attendance here
07:43
are loving every single second of it.
07:45
Let's have a listen to the corner maybe.
07:48
Well, let's have a look at some replays first of all.
07:51
And you can pick any 20 seconds in the round for replays.
07:54
30 minutes in the high-low rail,
07:56
but it's the left hook to the head that we see there.
08:00
Again, shook McKenna,
08:02
because McKenna's leaning down too far here
08:05
with the left hook to the body,
08:06
and he's getting caught with the left hook
08:09
to the head from Laws.
08:11
It was the same left hook which caught him in the first round
08:14
which caused the knockdown.
08:15
So that left hook, that left hook,
08:17
which he liked to throw,
08:18
and the left hook to the body,
08:20
got to be careful of those shots.
08:22
Because Laws got his shorts around,
08:24
the shorter punches,
08:25
big leap to the punch.
08:28
Brilliant, brilliant.
08:33
Little bit of blood coming out of the nose there for Joe Laws.
08:36
They both scored a knockdown in that opening round.
08:38
Laws finished it the strongest,
08:39
so he would make that his round.
08:41
That would have been a Laws round in the second round.
08:43
I doubt that we're going to need the scorecards,
08:45
but nothing can surprise you in this sport at times.
08:49
McKenna looking for that uppercut.
08:51
A slightly clearer look about his eyes
08:54
at the start of this third round.
08:55
He takes another left hand there,
08:57
and somehow, again, manages to stay up.
09:09
McKenna's got to be careful with his own right glove.
09:11
He's got to keep that right hand tucked on his chin.
09:14
He's dropping it too low.
09:15
He's open for the left hook.
09:17
Right there from McKenna, the great Laws.
09:19
And down he goes in that far corner.
09:23
It seems to land almost on the top of that.
09:25
He goes back to the blue corner.
09:27
I'm not quite sure what's going on here, to be honest.
09:30
The gun shield has been spat out.
09:32
He's looking into the corner for something.
09:36
They're replacing his gun shield,
09:38
but I think he was looking to try and buy
09:40
a little bit of time there, Joe Laws,
09:42
because that overhand right, I think,
09:44
has really scrambled him.
09:45
And Laws just comes out to the center of the ring
09:48
and looks to throw himself,
09:49
but he's in trouble here, Laws,
09:51
McKenna lands a big left hand,
09:53
plants those feet wide.
09:55
Laws is all over the place here.
09:57
Dix Lockman having a look,
10:00
but he's not going to step in just yet.
10:03
And he can't get too reckless here
10:05
with his own defenses, McKenna,
10:06
because we've seen this before
10:07
when Laws is hurt, he's still dangerous.
10:10
There's a right hand followed by a left from McKenna.
10:13
And Laws is rocking and rolling here
10:15
midway through the round.
10:16
He'll do very well to get through this.
10:18
McKenna just looking to tee off,
10:20
and he did have a more alert Michael Ayrton
10:23
at the start of the round.
10:24
Down goes Laws again here
10:28
for the second time in a round,
10:30
for the third time in the fight.
10:34
Victor Lockman has a good look at him,
10:36
70 seconds left in round three.
10:39
Can McKenna close what has been
10:41
an utterly, utterly exhilarating show?
10:43
Big right hand there from Laws,
10:46
checks the chin of McKenna again.
10:51
Laws just managing to dip at the waist,
10:55
but a good combination from McKenna
10:57
finds him once again.
10:59
He's trying to rip that left hand,
11:01
but it doesn't land this time.
11:03
He's stuck on the ropes here, Laws.
11:04
He knows he has to get off him.
11:06
And down he goes to an ear,
11:08
Natal has come in from the corner.
11:11
He looks disappointed now, Joe Laws.
11:14
But Matt Jones wasn't going to let that go on any longer.
11:19
What a fight we have just seen.
11:22
A three round shootout,
11:24
the like of which you very rarely see.
11:28
Laws was down early in that first round,
11:31
and he was in trouble.
11:33
Then the equalizer with the left
11:35
just flips everything on its head.
11:37
And in that second round,
11:39
he looked like he might be able to go on and win it.
11:42
But Matt McKenna came out for the third,
11:44
and he was revitalized.
11:46
Put him down with the overhand right,
11:48
and again, he went down to a knee that third time, Joe Laws.
11:53
Unbelievable.
11:56
You know, McKenna, I actually thought,
11:58
was the more hurt of the two in the first round.
12:01
And even when he got clipped again,
12:04
and then you could see his defenses were
12:06
a little bit scattered when they were trading off.
12:08
The right hand, that's something he's got to look at.
12:10
He was getting caught with too many left hooks from Laws.
12:13
And even in the end,
12:14
when it looked like the tide had totally turned
12:16
in McKenna's favor,
12:18
Laws would still fire back with the unbeaten massive hook,
12:22
and it would just whistle past the chin of McKenna.
12:25
And you're thinking, wow.
12:27
You know, it wasn't over till it was over type thing,
12:29
and I mean, that was a mental fight.
12:36
It was. It was carnage. It was mayhem.
12:39
It was chaos right from the start.
12:43
And these are two men of mayhem.
12:45
That's what they like.
12:46
That's what they promised us.
12:48
And that's what they gave us.
12:50
They promised it.
12:51
They gave it.
12:52
But even at that, it exceeded anything we thought they could.
12:56
You know, even when they,
12:57
we think if they both deliver on what they're saying,
13:00
we still didn't expect it to be as chaotic as that.
13:05
To be, you know,
13:06
literally the first bell Laws just came out and initiated war.
13:11
And McKenna was more than happy
13:14
to meet him in the middle.
13:17
And for McKenna to be able to ride that out and somehow recover,
13:21
because at the start of the third,
13:22
he looked like he hadn't come back and win the fight.
13:24
That is, that is quite something.
13:27
Yeah. Powers of recovery.
13:29
Because like I say, he was, for me,
13:30
McKenna was the more hurt of the two, but he, his fitness,
13:34
his conditioning, he was able to shake it off and come back.
13:39
And then also put the punches together and get the finish.
13:42
He, again, he just both hands there, let them go.
13:44
Buddy had every which way he could possibly land them.
13:48
He was throwing them.
13:50
And that's the second time that he goes down in the third round.
13:54
And then now it goes down to the knee and the corner.
13:58
No, at that point that the game is up, it comes to town.
14:01
Victor Lockman is extremely unlikely to let him continue after a,
14:04
a third knockdown anyway.
14:07
And that drew to a conclusion and utterly exhilarating
14:11
adrenaline fueled three rounds.
14:15
Obviously many levels below, but it was like a,
14:18
a British heckler herds.
14:21
It was, it was,
14:22
it reminded me of Chris Edwards against Kevin Lushing at your
14:26
call back in the nineties.
14:28
That was another fight I watched last week for some,
14:30
for reasons that are not even known to myself.
14:32
I found myself watching it again and you see fights like that and
14:35
they just stay with you because it is such a spectacle.
14:39
There was just nothing like this sport, nothing like it.
14:50
Barbslee, another round of applause for the show.
14:52
These two put on.
14:57
Referee Victor Lockman calls a stop to this contest at two
15:01
minutes, 36 seconds of the third round.
15:05
Declare your winner by TKO and the new WBC international silver
15:12
super welterweight champion.
15:24
The belt goes around the waist of Stephen McKenna, 15 and 0 with
15:28
14 knockouts now, but that by.
