00:00Come on, champ.

00:04Guys, you received your instructions earlier.

00:06As a reminder, obey my commands at all times,

00:08protect yourself at all times.

00:09He's a little high, so I'm gonna allow this to be legal.

00:12Touch gloves, good luck.

00:12Togo Swamp.

00:15Ray, when someone is nicknamed the Savage,

00:18do they feel like they have to live up to it

00:20to a certain extent?

00:21Does that affect them?

00:22You have to live up to your nickname,

00:24no matter what it is.

00:25You had to look sweet while you was doing it,

00:27and this guy gotta look savage,

00:29so that's what I'm expecting here.

00:31First round of six, 143 pounds, catch weight.

00:34The Savage, the Tiger Trunks.

00:39Ray Oliveira's already commented

00:40on the impressive musculature in the legs.

00:43Let's see how much power he generates from there.

00:44It looks like he's the kind of guy that twists and torques.

00:49That Kimba is a much better MMA fighter than either boxing.

00:54I usually hate seeing MMA guys come to boxing,

00:58but with Kimba, Kimba, I'm sorry, this guy amazes me.

01:03He just looks good every time I see him.

01:05Man, you see a lot of overlap,

01:06especially in the last five years,

01:08I've seen a lot of overlap.

01:09A lot of it is because people like the money in boxing,

01:11as opposed to MMA.

01:14Once you get into it a little bit further,

01:16down here, down low, it's about the same as far as pay goes.

01:19Once you get up there, more paydays in boxing.

01:22A nice, it looks like a reach advantage here,

01:25a height advantage being used by the Savage.

01:28He definitely got the reach, he definitely got the height.

01:31With more, he probably wants to be inside,

01:33but he doesn't want to, he doesn't,

01:36doesn't, being inside for him is gonna hurt him,

01:38because Kimba just devastating right hand and left hooks,

01:42but he has to be in there,

01:43but he has to have them hands up high with that chin tight,

01:46and he's gotta work that body.

01:47Him on the toes, in boxing as he is now,

01:51he's just gonna be in range for Kimba's jab

01:53and right hand over the top.

01:55He does look a weight class or even two lower, doesn't he?

02:00He looks a little undersized versus Kimba.

02:03Because Kimba is just, he's so muscular,

02:05his veins are popping right out.

02:08And those shorts match his body too.

02:11That's why I keep saying, he's only at 143.

02:13Right.

02:19Every page, people keep looking at that opening right,

02:21Kimba, he's catching it.

02:23One minute in the round now.

02:25See, he does want to stay away,

02:27but can he win that way?

02:29Bouncing around the toes.

02:32Oh, mercy, that was a lovely one too.

02:34Yes.

02:35Hand speed and accuracy.

02:37If he's inside, we'll see that right hand won't reach,

02:41but when he's inside, he's vulnerable to that left hook.

02:43And you like the patience from Kimba so far,

02:45so do I, Matt.

02:46Very, very patient.

02:47He's using that jab like a front kick.

02:49They say that, they tell me,

02:50hey guys, use that jab.

02:52Oh, it's done.

02:54Over, over.

02:56It's done.

02:57We saw him hit his head.

02:58We heard the impact.

03:00He started stiffening up right away.

03:04We're gonna get the doctors over and looking at him.

03:06Everything's okay.

03:17That was a devastating punch.

03:21Everything's fine.

03:25About to be getting some air into those lungs now.

03:29It was a very hard knock out.

03:30They're counting the EMTs over right now.

03:32He stiffened up immediately, Ray.

03:34If you could describe to the people

03:35what happens when you're knocked out at that severe level.

03:41He's stiffened up,

03:42but they're trying to help him not swallow that tongue.

03:45They're trying to stiffen,

03:47they're just gonna keep him stiff

03:49and roll him over to the side

03:50and hopefully he doesn't swallow his tongue right now.

03:53The stuff that you do automatically can stop.

03:56Here, let's see the replay.

03:58He brought the jab and the right hand behind it

04:03and you see it for yourself.

04:04That right hand came over the bridge of the ear.

04:08Right there, right in the back of the head.

04:11Very adeptly delivered.

04:13And our man is breathing.

04:14We do see grates coming from his chest area.

04:19Which is beautiful.

04:20And they're gonna get a neck brace on him.

04:22For precaution, they gotta put a neck brace on him

04:25and keep him totally still.

04:27But we do see him breathing.

04:28Yes.

04:31You know, in crosses, we all want a knock out.

04:34But we also want our opponents,

04:36like I tell my fighters,

04:37you don't pray to God for a win.

04:40You pray to God that you both can all see.

04:44And we see more talking now, Ray.

04:46He is talking to the doctor

04:49who is shining light in,

04:49making sure the pupils react.

04:52Showing proper neurological signs, as you could say.

04:57He's probably asking, you know,

04:59where you're at, what's the date.

05:01See if he can answer them and stay calm.

05:06Ray, we saw it right away.

05:07We saw the way the head hit.

05:09Once the head hits like that,

05:11most of the time, that's it.

05:12Yeah, when you go down,

05:14what the ref or the outside people are looking for,

05:17you can see right here,

05:18is the way the back of his head hit the ring.

05:20When the back of your head, that's the damage.

05:22It's not the punch.

05:24The punch begins it.

05:26How your head hits the back of the mat,

05:29when it hits the back, that's when it's over.

05:31Because there are degrees of severity

05:32of getting knocked out.

05:33You can get knocked out, but you still have,

05:35you can hold, you're holding your neck muscles.

05:37But if you're out, out, out, you lose that.

05:41And your head, the back of your head hits the mat.

05:43And that's that jerking part.

05:46143 pounder, Mike Kimble.

05:48We talked about the power.

05:49You saw it in evidence, friends.

06:08That's interesting.

06:11One of the Athletic Commission members

06:12was talking to a fan who was taking footage

06:15of Maura on the stretcher, saying,

06:16if you were on the stretcher, would you want that?

06:18Exactly.

06:19You know, I used to tell my fans,

06:21you know, they had a root for me.

06:25And I hated when my fans booed my opponent.

06:28I always told my people, I always knew that.

06:30Never boo my opponent.

06:32You don't have to cheer for him.

06:33Cheer for me, but you don't boo him.

06:35You don't wish harm on nobody.

06:37Like I said before, you don't wish for the win.

06:40You try for the win.

06:41God only wants his boat to come out of here safe.

06:43And you also want this,

06:45you don't want nothing like that happens.

06:46Steve went down.

06:47It hurt me seeing this.

06:49Well, and we got to say, of course,

06:51it's a different age than when you started in 1990.

06:54Last fight was 2004.

06:56My friend, no one was carrying around,

06:58there weren't all those cell phones

06:59and people tape and everything.

07:00People tape everything now.

07:02I think sometimes they don't really understand

07:04that maybe it could be a little lack of protocol there.

07:09Listen, I'm a journalist, okay?

07:10So I want to see what's going on.

07:12I want to explain it to people.

07:14I don't want to exploit it.

07:15So maybe it's an interesting situation there.

07:19But what I like to see is Maura is breathing.

07:21We did see him talking.

07:23And so we'll keep you updated on that situation.

07:28And the people are clapping

07:29and we're waiting for the best case scenario there.

07:33Looks to be on that track.

07:36You don't play boxing, do you, my friend?

07:37No, I told, there's people in my gym

07:40that come there every day in their 50s sparring.

07:43And I go, why do you want to do this at that age?

07:47It's fun.

07:48You see how I walk?

07:50That's not fun.

07:54You take golf clubs and tennis rackets on vacation.

07:57You don't take boxing gloves.

07:59Well, we talked about it.

08:00It's sometimes it's what,

08:02you're looking for a little bit of something

08:04you didn't have as a kid.

08:06Maybe you're trying to turn back the clock.

08:09It's a funny thing, but it ain't a funny thing

08:11when the guy goes down hard like that.

08:13No, you do not.

08:14Do you see Kimbo?

08:15He did his, always his back flip.

08:18He waited a proper amount of time.

08:20He definitely did.

08:21Maura was out of the ring.

08:22He's more, right now, he's happy with the win,

08:25but more than likely, I bet you,

08:27he's more concerned about his opponent.

08:29We want the win, but we don't want-

08:31I don't know, bro.

08:32He looks pretty happy here.

08:33He's happy.

08:34He's happy, but he's also, you know,

08:36worrying about his opponent.

08:38As soon as he gets out of the ring,

08:40that's probably gonna be one of the first things

08:42he does is check on him.

08:43If I had to guess, Mr. Anthony,

08:45Maura might not be fighting again

08:48after a knockout like that.

08:50He'll be on suspension probably.

08:52It sounds bad, but-

08:53Does the guy wanna come back after a fight like that,

08:55or no?

08:56I see a lot of guys, a knockout like that,

08:58it's done, it's over.

08:59No, he'll probably come back.

09:00Because also, family, he's telling you too, right?

09:02Family don't want that.

09:03He has six months of break time.

09:08And Margaret is gonna talk to the referee.

09:10We're gonna get some more information on what went down.

09:13Mike Kimble, after putting Anthony Maura down.

09:27Mike Jack, my-

09:27Okay, here we are.

09:29Ladies and gentlemen, at two minutes and 22 seconds

09:31into round number one, your winner by knockout,

09:36Mike, the Savage, Kimble!
