00:00Here in the middleweight division, it is our co-mate event of the evening as the undefeated Kazakh

00:05Sadrin Akhmetov takes on the Atlanta native in Antonio Todd.

00:12TJ DeSantis along with Pearl Gonzalez, Doug Fisher here as well.

00:15We are inside the Chumash Casino Resort in beautiful Santa Ynez, California.

00:20It is a site of Tom Loeffler's and 360 Promotions Hollywood Fight Nights.

00:27You ready?

00:28Are you ready?

00:30Here we go, round one of our co-mate event underway.

00:34Akhmetov in the red, Antonio Todd in the black.

00:39And immediately you can see the size difference between these two gentlemen.

00:43Not exactly the normal weight class we can expect Akhmetov to continue his career in.

00:49He's probably going to drop back down,

00:50but he's got to overcome a much taller opponent tonight in Antonio Todd.

00:55Yes, he does.

00:56But he's doing a great job of closing the distance,

00:58putting his weight and his body on his opponent, feeling his opponent.

01:03Probably testing the strength and just seeing what the body feels like of his opponent.

01:08But Todd has beautiful ones and twos as we can see here.

01:12They're straight down the middle.

01:13They're nice and fast.

01:15He's got some flashy shorts too.

01:18You mentioned Todd, a student of the boxing game.

01:20He likes to watch a lot of old fights.

01:22But he said he also likes to watch, you know, his opponent.

01:25And he said he did a lot of study of Akhmetov

01:28and believes that he knows the tendencies that Akhmetov, you know, has.

01:32And he feels he can exploit them.

01:34Yes, he's doing a great job right now of staying long

01:37and finding his target right down, right down the middle here.

01:41But Sodrigan is doing a good job of putting pressure and it's not too rushed.

01:46He's not utilizing a lot of energy here.

01:48He's very efficient in his energy output and slowly working his way inside

01:54and finding his, his positions.

01:57Todd throwing that really long jab out there.

02:01Halfway point here, round number one.

02:06Nice left hook around the guard of Sodrigan.

02:11Oh, wow.

02:13Getting busy here early is Todd.

02:15Yes, he's doing a great job of establishing his range,

02:18maintaining his range, managing his range in this moment.

02:22And Sodrigan isn't pressing forward like that.

02:26Oh, oh, my goodness.

02:28Todd in huge trouble.

02:30Wow.

02:31And he's trying to get back up on wobbly legs.

02:35Referee laying in the count.

02:36A huge statement early by the Kazakh in Akhmetov.

02:40Goodness.

02:41Akhmetov spills the blood, getting after it.

02:45As we continue action here, this opening round.

02:48Let's see if he can survive this.

02:50With Sodrigan all over Todd right now.

02:53Oh, those shots are big.

02:55You only get one chance to make a first impression in Akhmetov,

02:59making a count here in his U.S. debut.

03:01Goodness, these hooks are intense.

03:03Referee taking a look.

03:04It is done!

03:06Sodrigan and Akhmetov victorious tonight in his U.S. debut.

03:10Now 14-0 as he picks up the 12th knockout victory of his career.

03:16Made short work tonight in his first fight ever in the United States.

03:20Holy moly.

03:22Well, I asked you, Pearl, how he was going to overcome the reach of Antonio Todd.

03:26We got our answer.

03:27He's going to hit him in the face and knock him out.

03:30That was incredible.

03:31This man is powerful.

03:35A dejected Antonio Todd, unable to weather an early storm

03:40from the soldier of Q, Sodrigan Akhmetov.

03:44Yeah, anytime this young man fights, I'm tuning in.

03:47Absolutely.

03:48He did such a fantastic job of dealing with those short,

03:52peppering shots that can get annoying, that can get frustrating.

03:55And as soon as he found his opening, he took full advantage of that.

04:01Take a look at the end of this fight.

04:03Pearl, walk us through.

04:04Oh my goodness, it was the hooks.

04:06It was all these overhand rights and around the guard, just powerful.

04:11Look at this man.

04:12Big shots around the guard, through the guard, under the guard.

04:15And Todd did not have an answer.

04:18The power was on full display tonight of Sodrigan Akhmetov.

04:23It's hard to find an answer when you don't know where you are.

04:25And I think Antonio Todd had to reset after getting dropped because the power on display

04:31by the much smaller of the two men, Akhmetov.

04:34He might move down a way, but he's a heavy handed problem for anyone standing in his way.

04:39Heavy handed, he's ferocious, he's aggressive, he's intelligent.

04:45Incredible performance tonight from Akhmetov.

04:48I said you only get one opportunity to make a first impression.

04:52And the first impression, it was a good one here in his US debut.

04:56Akhmetov, again, someone to keep your eye on.

04:58And, you know, he wanted to make his country proud after maybe a less than stellar Olympic

05:02showing.

05:03Well, there's no medals here tonight, but that's a gold medal performance.

05:07Absolutely.

05:08He put everybody on alert tonight with this performance.

05:13And that's exactly what you want to do.

05:14A lot of hype around him comes from a manager who's dealt with Triple G.

05:19And, you know, we sometimes don't know what a fighter brings when they fought internationally

05:24and haven't fought stateside.

05:25Well, so far, so good here at his US debut.

05:28Sodrigan Akhmetov, I mean, he's a problem and I can't wait to have him come back and

05:34see if anyone can solve that problem, because that was one way traffic.

05:38One way traffic.

05:39I mean, he barely he barely started a sweat.

05:44Incredible performance here from Sodrigan Akhmetov.

05:50Not even breathing hard, TJ.

05:53I mean, it was a quick night of work.

05:55You don't get paid by the hour.

05:56And yeah, he he knew what he wanted.

06:00He came out, got it done and did so in a very big way.

06:03All right.

06:04To make this one official, we go to Mapparino.

06:08Ladies and gentlemen, referee Ivan Guyana has called a stop to the contest at two minutes,

06:1434 seconds in the very first round.

06:16Declaring the winner by knockout, Sodrigan S.O.Q. Akhmetov.

06:28Sodrigan Akhmetov.

06:30Now 14-0, picking up the 12th knockout victory of his career.

06:37Solid stuff.

06:39You couldn't draw it up any better than that, Pearl.

06:41It was a beautiful performance.

06:42It's exactly what you want.

06:43That's the statement you want to make on a new promotion.

06:46You're debuting in a new.
