00:00All right, so everything here and up is good,

00:02here and up is good, all right?

00:03Protect yourself at all times, obey my command.

00:05Touch them up. Let's go, guys.

00:10Yeah, we take a look at the tail of the tape.

00:13John Erobio and Joel Monriquez.

00:15Many people consider John Erobio

00:17to be one of the best prospects in the sport of boxing.

00:21But we get another look at him here tonight,

00:24coming off that second round KO win

00:26over Jose Hospital.

00:27In June of this year at the Casino.

00:31Yeah, we got used to seeing John Erobio almost every week.

00:35He had one, two, three, four, four fights

00:39in about a six-week span in the springtime,

00:42and then took the summer off.

00:44So for him to go three months between fights,

00:46that's like almost like being on sabbatical, Corey.

00:48This is one of the busiest fighters out here.

00:50Joel Monriquez coming into this fight

00:52off a win over Jesus Denef,

00:54who, of course, is a great fighter.

00:56Win over Jesus Denef, who, of course, we just saw.

00:59Scored a six-round split decision.

01:04It says here in my notes about Monriquez,

01:06effective versus slowish, reckless pressure fighters,

01:10which might explain why he did so well against Denef,

01:13but also explains why he has a tough, tough task

01:16in John Erobio.

01:18You see the foot speed of Monriquez

01:20trying to work his way to the inside,

01:22but you're gonna pay a heavy tax

01:24trying to do that against John Erobio.

01:26As you see Erobio banging to the body

01:28a couple of moments ago.

01:31Monriquez leaning in a little bit too aggressively,

01:34leading with the head.

01:42Chopping right hand there from Erobio a moment ago.

01:45Should mention, too, just a really difficult night

01:48for Monriquez overall,

01:50and not to linger on what happened in our opening contest,

01:54but Monriquez, training partners and close friends

01:58with Carlos Roner, they're from the same town.

02:01Monriquez also friends with Canguro Gonzalez,

02:05Christian Gonzalez, who we've seen here on our airwaves,

02:08who tragically passed away on August 12th.

02:10So Monriquez fighting tonight with a very heavy heart.

02:14El Canguro was a past opponent of John Erobio

02:17back in March, and a guy that sort of exemplifies

02:24the community, the fighting spirit,

02:25and the stay-ready attitude of a lot of these fighters

02:28from Argentina.

02:30El Canguro, we'll remember, Corey,

02:32worked a full shift as a sanitation worker in Buenos Aires,

02:38got the call at the end of an eight-hour shift,

02:40went to the weigh-in right after that,

02:42and fought that night.

02:43That's right, yeah, he made weight

02:45at the KO Drugs Festival last year

02:48for that fight, and for that fight, made more in one fight

02:51than he did a full year as a sanitation worker.

02:54Our hearts are with the Canguro Gonzalez family,

02:58certainly a tragedy, a tragic loss for the boxing community.

03:05His left hook there from Monriquez,

03:07and Erobio thought about throwing his own.

03:11Yeah, gentlemanly move there from Erobio.

03:13Very sportsmanlike, because it is protect yourself

03:16at all times, and he really could have taken

03:18a home run swing there, and he didn't.

03:24-!

03:25Hey!

03:26-!

03:27-!

03:28-!

03:29-!

03:41-!

03:42-!

03:43-!

03:44-!

03:45-!

03:51Hey, tell our neighbors...

03:53He was a doctor, okay?

03:55He told me...

03:56Alright, but not now, okay?

03:58In the hall.

03:59Don't believe him because he's not,

04:01because he's not here.

04:03I...

04:04The people are here.

04:06Bahn, bah bah bah,

04:06his name's Technology.

04:11Go ahead, step back, expect,

04:12♪

04:16Come on, champion.

04:18♪

04:29Is round two underway?

04:31One thing we notice in the corner, Cory,

04:33is the effect that John Orovio has on people

04:35because Mark Ramsey, if you ask Mark Ramsey

04:37if he speaks Spanish, he will tell you no.

04:40But you heard him in the corner

04:41speaking Spanish to John Orovio,

04:43who does not speak much French.

04:44He's been in Montreal about a year and a half.

04:47But we've seen he and Moreno Fendero were roommates

04:50for a long time until Fendero got married.

04:53So that setup wasn't going to work anymore.

04:55But you will watch Fendero and Orovio speak to each other.

05:00And I asked him, well, how do you guys converse?

05:02You tell me you don't speak French,

05:04he doesn't speak Spanish.

05:05But basically what has happened is,

05:08Orovio being around Moreno Fendero

05:10and obviously being here in Montreal,

05:12he's picked up some French.

05:13But then the people who spend time with Orovio

05:15pick up some Spanish and they meet in the middle.

05:17Look at the effect that Orovio is having.

05:19Enriquez, a hard body shot in that chopping right hand,

05:24has sent him down to a knee.

05:30Enriquez up at the count of about eight and a half.

05:34But Orovio looking to close the show early here once again.

05:41Look at this work from Orovio,

05:43just a whipping uppercut to the body.

05:46And Orovio just going wild here.

05:55And it looks like one of those shots

05:58will be determined to have been low.

06:01And that is a little bit of a lucky break

06:04for Joel Enriquez, if you can call it that.

06:07It is a respite for Joel Enriquez.

06:09And the thing about Joel Enriquez

06:10and the reason he is here is, again, he is a survivor.

06:13He has five losses all by decision.

06:16He has a chin, he knows how to survive.

06:19And Joel Orovio, talking to him yesterday,

06:20I asked him about how he spent his three months off.

06:22He said, well, I went to Colombia,

06:24went back home, visited my family.

06:26Then I got back in the gym and I asked him,

06:28like, what new skills was he working on?

06:31And he said, you're gonna see, you'll see it tomorrow.

06:34I'm calmer, I'm more measured.

06:37Which sounds great in theory.

06:41And you do want a fighter to be able to go the distance,

06:43but what you're seeing too here is vintage Joel Orovio.

06:46When he gets a guy in trouble, he activates.

06:49Enriquez, prior to that knockdown,

06:51had only been knocked down twice in his career.

06:55So still a feat for Orovio to have sent him to the canvas.

06:59And he's looking to do it again here

07:01before the end of the round.

07:07Another big lead left hook.

07:10Move Enriquez across the ring.

07:14Chopping right hands, just don't miss from Orovio.

07:17You see that mid-combination switch in stances.

07:20He's gone southpaw as well.

07:22Down he goes again.

07:24And when John Orovio gets into that flow state,

07:27it is bad news for his opponent.

07:31You see the cornerman climbing the stairs.

07:33They've seen enough.

07:37Again, this is a camp that didn't like what they saw,

07:41understandably, in our opening contest.

07:44And they've stepped in at the right time here

07:47to save their fighter from that man, John Orovio,

07:50who just picked up another knockout victory.

07:54And again, from a guy who told me yesterday

07:57that he was gonna, and this is not to say

07:58that he wasn't measured and composed.

08:01And again, he has a guy in front of him

08:02who is here specifically to go around.

08:05And so we were talking,

08:06when I was talking to Orovio yesterday,

08:08he said this is his first fight at eight rounds.

08:10And I said, well, is your first fight

08:13scheduled for eight rounds?

08:14He said, yes, but you're gonna see

08:15a more measured, calmer, more tactical fighter tomorrow.

08:19He's plenty tactical, he's plenty technical.

08:22But again, once he gets you in trouble,

08:24he sees no reason to keep you around.

08:28Well, he might wanna be calm,

08:29but as we've talked to other fighters,

08:32other personalities in that Mark Ramsey gym,

08:35everyone talks about the competitive spirit

08:38of John Orobio, of that firm belief

08:41that he can beat anyone in the gym,

08:43not in a disrespectful way,

08:44but just the self-confidence that one has to have

08:48if they wanna become an elite fighter.

08:49Absolutely, and you're starting to see

08:51with the physical attributes plus that attitude,

08:56you put those together and you see why people

08:58well beyond Montreal see John Orobio

09:00as a future star in this sport.

09:06Here he is working the body first,

09:08which is a very mature thing to do.

09:09And when we talk about a fighter with knockout power

09:14who is also calmer and more measured and more tactical,

09:17that's one of the ways it manifests itself.

09:20He doesn't go out there and headhunt necessarily.

09:22He starts with the body and works upstairs.

09:27And every time I come to Toronto, Corey,

09:29I meet people, you meet a lot of people

09:33in the city who are from Columbia,

09:34and I talk to them about boxing,

09:35and I ask them if they know about John Orobio.

09:37Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't,

09:39but here in the second deck at Casino Montreal,

09:42you see a couple of fans with a Colombian flag

09:45and some John Orobio t-shirts.

09:46He's starting to make inroads.

09:48He also has a sponsorship, I think,

09:50with the local cafe on the South Shore,

09:53over in, I think, in Longueira, Blossard,

09:54one of those two suburbs.

09:56So he's starting to make inroads in the community here.

09:59I mean, he's here at the casino almost more often

10:02than the Celine Dion impersonator.

10:06Ladies and gentlemen, official time,

10:08two minutes, 54 seconds of round number two.

10:23At the request of the blue corner,

10:25referee Junior Padullo stops the fight,

10:27declaring the winner by TKO, John Orobio!

10:33El Tigre Orobio!

10:40So John Orobio, now 11-0,

10:43that being his 10th knockout in his pro career,

10:47just 20 years of age.

10:50And Morgan, one thing I was thinking about, too,

10:52is Orobio is really illustrative of the plight

10:56of young boxers, even ones who are projected

11:00to become stars, who have good financial backing.

11:03This is a kid from Columbia,

11:05who's living now by himself in Montreal.

11:08And this is an individual sport,

11:09so even though, of course...
