00:00Daniel Chucky Barrera taking on Jonathan Almasin, who hails from Manila in the Philippines.

00:15TJ DeSantis along with Abel Sanchez, Doug Fisher.

00:18We are live tonight inside Chumash Casino Resort in Santa Ynez, California.

00:23The site of Tom Laughlin 360 Promotions Hollywood Fight Nights.

00:26Appreciate you joining us live on UFC Fight Pass.

00:30Jonathan Almasin wearing the black, taking on Daniel Chucky Barrera, who wears the origin black.

00:50Talk about the experience of the Filipino.

00:53What do you expect him to bring to the table, Doug, and try to test Daniel Chucky Barrera?

00:59Well, he's gone 10, 12 rounds with world-class guys.

01:04He went 12 rounds with a former strawweight junior flyweight champion in South Africa named Hecky Butler.

01:12So when you have that kind of experience, you know how to survive.

01:15You know if there's some rough areas you know to tie up.

01:19You know how to get through those rough spots.

01:23Four rounds is not a long time for this guy.

01:26I also expect him just to be able to, you know, try his best to surprise Chucky.

01:33Chucky is an orthodox boxer who has really good technique, but he does everything sort of by the book.

01:40And sometimes the more unorthodox fighters can fluster those fighters that are sort of panning behind him.

01:46Did you say Hecky Butler?

01:48Hecky Butler.

01:49What a name.

01:50Yeah. Funny looking little dude. Great guy.

01:53Good fighter.

01:54Like one of the best South African fighters in the last 25 years.

01:58Stop. Stop. Stop.

02:00See what I'm saying?

02:01They will do some weird stuff.

02:03Don't do that.

02:04Why not?

02:05Chucky's not mad about it.

02:07If you don't get a point taken away, it's not really cheating.

02:09Exactly. No harm, no foul.

02:11Right.

02:14He's showing off a little bit.

02:16Comfortable in there.

02:18Barrera expected this.

02:19We asked him, you know, we noticed at the weigh-in, Coach and I,

02:22that Amisen is shorter.

02:26You know, it's kind of rare that Chucky's in there with somebody shorter than him.

02:30And I asked, can that be difficult?

02:32And he said, absolutely.

02:34If a shorter fighter uses that to his advantage by getting low,

02:38you know, they can make you reach and then they can try to counter you as you reach low for them.

02:43You know, not a lot of guys at 5'5'' come in as a taller fighter in a fight.

02:51According to the tail of the tape, Amisen is just two inches shorter,

02:55but he looks like shorter than that.

02:58He's listed at 5'3". He looks like 5'2".

03:015'2", 5'1".

03:03Maybe it's that wide stance. I don't know.

03:05Stop. Stop. Stop.

03:07Why not?

03:08Buttered heads.

03:09You? Anywhere?

03:11But no blood. But no blood.

03:13Box.

03:18You know, for an experienced fighter like Amisen,

03:21it's important to come out quick in a full-on fight,

03:24because a full-on fight goes by so fast.

03:26He's used to pacing himself for longer fights.

03:30Yeah, we talk a lot about controlled aggression.

03:33When you don't have the time to work,

03:35you've got to step up that aggression,

03:37maybe make it unbridled a little bit more.

03:39Yeah.

03:42And Chuckie's used to that, at this stage of his career,

03:46winning four rounds, four out of four rounds.

03:49So Jonathan's going to have to make the fight to win.

03:53Throwing a little butt there, but no damage.

03:56Last time we saw him, he was really shining

04:00against a veteran from Mexico.

04:03But the veteran from Mexico wasn't doing stuff like this.

04:08He really didn't do much.

04:10All he did was stand up.

04:11Yeah.

04:16But as short as he is,

04:17he doesn't have very far to go to stand up.

04:19No, he doesn't.

04:25All right, here we go.

04:26About to get ready for round number two.

04:30Hold on.

04:31Daniel Chuckie Barrera taking on Jonathan Amisen,

04:36along with Abel Sanchez, Doug Fisher.

04:38Let him go, let him go.

04:39Let him go, Jonathan.

04:40Stop, stop, stop, stop.

04:44Listen.

04:54Stop, stop, nobody punch.

04:56Barrera's going to have to be careful with that.

05:05Stop.

05:11The tactics of Amisen,

05:13throwing the ire of the crowd here inside Chulak.

05:22And they've been spoiled with some sustained action

05:25through these three pounds.

05:26But here we go.

05:27Jab.

05:28Three, four, five, six, seven, eight,

05:34nine.

05:35Are you okay?

05:36Are you bludgeoned?

05:38Abel, how hurt was Amisen there?

05:40He was a little off balance when he caught the shot.

05:44You can see the Chocolatito training.

05:50Yeah, absolutely.

05:54One of the masters at those weights.

05:59Halfway point here of round number two.

06:03I see a similar stance, hand-foot placement,

06:08the great balance.

06:10Only difference, obviously, is Chocolatito was...

06:14He dealt in volume.

06:17The volume puncher.

06:18Barrera is more of just a straight-up technician.

06:25It looks like he's starting to, you know,

06:27get used to this unorthodox style and the movement

06:31and time his punches better.

06:33So he's landing.

06:35He's getting used to the height.

06:36You see how he's adjusting his distance

06:38to not let it allow him to get up underneath him.

06:45Amisen throwing some punches here in this round.

06:48There's a nice left hand by Chucky.

06:56That was a good shot.

06:57That was a hook, right?

06:58Left hook.

07:00That one definitely landed.

07:01A little more flush.

07:02He's feeling this one.

07:03He's wobbling.

07:04Nothing else.

07:05His equilibrium is off.

07:06That's it.

07:07That's it.

07:08He wants to get back up.

07:10Daniel Chucky Barrera moves his record to 5-0-1

07:15as he successfully picks up the fourth knockout

07:18of his young boxing career.

07:22That was impressive because

07:25some young fighters would allow like that

07:28a veteran like that to fluster them,

07:31to frustrate them.

07:32And Chucky just laughed it off.

07:35Kept his cool.

07:36Kept his cool.

07:37Kept his focus.

07:38Was reading his fighter.

07:40He figured him out pretty quick.

07:45Solid bit of work turned in by Upland California's

07:48Daniel Chucky Barrera.

07:50Let's take a look at the final 10 seconds of the fight.

07:52Doug walks through.

07:55Chucky caught him with the hook.

07:56Two hooks.

07:58Both right behind the right ear of Almacen.

08:03And those are shots that will affect a fighter's equilibrium.

08:12You know, Dougie, that was impressive.

08:14This is a very good opponent for him.

08:16And Chucky, I don't want to say dismantled him,

08:21but did what he wanted to do in there

08:23against a very experienced guy.

08:25Barrera never lost control.

08:27No.

08:28Never lost control.

08:29Even when it was looking a little wild

08:31and a little ugly in spots.

08:33Never got mad.

08:35And that speaks to Barrera's maturity.

08:38And I think he's very precocious for a guy who

08:42doesn't even have eight fights yet.

08:46Just 22 years old is Daniel Chucky Barrera.

08:50And he shines tonight underneath the 360 lights

08:54here at Hollywood Fight Nights.

08:57Another victory to be proud of as he gets the stoppage

09:00in round number two.

09:02All right, to make this one official,

09:03we go to Matthew Perino for our official sign

09:06of the stoppage.

09:12Ladies and gentlemen,

09:14referee Jack Reiss has called the stop to the action

09:17at two minutes and 35 seconds in the second round.

09:21The opponent could not reach the count of 10.

09:24Therefore your winner by knockout out of the red corner

09:29and still undefeated,

09:31Daniel Chucky Barrera!

09:41Now 5-0-1.

09:43Daniel Chucky Barrera gets another victory

09:46and another stoppage.

09:48Doug, I asked you at the top of the fight,

09:50what type of test you expected this to be

09:53for Chucky.
