00:00You'll see the other five.

00:01Of course, the main event, Gabriela Fundora, Marilyn Bavio.

00:05The Dale is coming off a loss back in June of last year against David Benavides.

00:10He went the distance with Benavides.

00:12That was in Las Vegas.

00:14It was a unanimous decision.

00:16That was for the interim light heavyweight title.

00:18And Benavides, just a fantastic fighter.

00:21Before that, he had won three in a row for the Dale.

00:26He also, back in 2019, had a knockout loss to Artur Beterbiev.

00:33That was in Philadelphia.

00:35And he went down three times in the 10th round.

00:37So this is a tough dude, man.

00:39This is a very, very tough dude.

00:40Those two losses to Beterbiev and Benavides?

00:43Man.

00:43Yeah, you're talking about some of the best fighters in the world.

00:48So the nail.

00:50Black and white.

00:50A new team now.

00:52Brickhouse Boxing.

00:53You can see him establishing his jab early.

00:57Measuring his distance.

00:59Yeah, Marco Contreras, Roger Anderson, Elzar Hernandez in his corner.

01:04Before the nail is 38 years old.

01:07Cruiserweight is very interesting.

01:09So he goes to Brickhouse, which is the home base for Surdo Ramirez.

01:17Management team.

01:18Same as Surdo Ramirez.

01:21Hook from the nail.

01:23Work it out.

01:24Lock it out.

01:24So he and Surdo will spar?

01:27I haven't seen them spar.

01:28Okay.

01:28I haven't seen them spar, but I've seen them working with Darius Fulgham.

01:32Okay.

01:34Beck the Bully.

01:37Moving around some top guys.

01:38From the Ukraine.

01:42Body shot for the nail.

01:44Yeah.

01:45He's throwing that right hand to the body there.

01:47Get to Holloway to drop his elbow a little bit.

01:50Set something up.

01:53Yeah.

01:53You would hear about him in the rankings.

01:55Remember, the cruiserweight division is interesting.

01:58You didn't hear about it for a while.

02:00Then the last, I think, year, maybe 18 months.

02:02Oh, okay.

02:03We're making noise in the cruiserweights.

02:05Definitely.

02:06I was at his fight with David Benavidez.

02:08Okay.

02:09Yeah.

02:09But he put up a good fight.

02:11Tough dude.

02:12Yeah.

02:12That was at 175.

02:14This one is at 179 where they agreed to.

02:21That's why it's technically a cruiserweight fight.

02:24Scheduled for eight rounds.

02:25Up next will be Samuel Torres Castellanos.

02:31Still got the heavyweight Joshua Edward to make his pro debut.

02:34And Jorge Chavez.

02:36Body shots from the nail.

02:39Push.

02:40Push.

02:4311 months as he works.

02:44We've got to get in there.

02:45Get that lather going.

02:47The activity.

02:49That's good.

02:50Keenan Wright lets us know it's 10 seconds to go in the opening round.

02:53Your timekeeper for this afternoon.

02:54Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

02:58Time.

02:59Time.

03:20All right.

03:20Let's see highlights for that opening round.

03:21So, yeah, you can see Alexander establishing his jab.

03:26Coming over that right.

03:28Really digging that right hand to the body.

03:30That straight right to the body.

03:31Trying to get Holloway to start dropping that left elbow of his.

03:35Maybe set something off after that jab.

03:37There you see the corner four of Holloway.

03:40That's Anthony Cardenas giving the instructions.

03:44He's from Vista.

03:45Coming, uh, not too far from here.

03:52We're in Oceanside.

03:53This is North County.

04:00And now the nail comes out starting strong and quick in the second round.

04:05Coming out hot.

04:05He's setting that pace.

04:06So, is he working out at the same time you are?

04:14He comes in about an hour after me.

04:15So, I usually catch him in the last hour, hour and a half of my workout.

04:19Yeah.

04:19So, I see him around a lot.

04:21Now, you're a fighter.

04:22Eric Preeze is my partner this afternoon.

04:24You've been going to different gyms just learning from so many different trainers.

04:27So, I like the Brickhouse side because the nail is going upstairs one and two.

04:33But when you go to a new gym, you have to learn that trainer.

04:36I mean, you might know him, but when you actually train it together, it's different.

04:38Oh, absolutely.

04:39Yeah.

04:39Like, every trainer has his own style.

04:41And boxing, boxing is not, you can't really copy one style, but you can learn different styles.

04:45And you create your own from that.

04:47Our second bout of the afternoon.

04:48Ten fights total.

04:49Golden Boy Promotions here in North County, San Diego.

04:52Oceanside, afternoon boxing here in April.

04:57You can see Alexander is taking his time, finding his spots.

05:04Alexander, he's controlling the pace.

05:06Yeah.

05:06Which he couldn't do against Benavides.

05:08Yes.

05:09Yes.

05:09I'm sure he learned from that fight as well, you know.

05:13And now he's just touching sometimes, throwing hard jabs, putting his head off the line to get out of traffic from Holloway at the same time.

05:21And digging down to the body, changing levels.

05:25Good boxing.

05:28It's our second fight of the afternoon.

05:31Five o'clock is when the zone gets going.

05:33It's going to be Joel Iviarte, then Ruslan Abdullayev, Tristan Calcruth, Charles Conwell.

05:37And then the undisputed champ, the unified champ, Gabriela Fundora.

05:42Mouthpiece is coming out for Holloway.

05:47That got tagged.

05:48Stop, stop, stop.

06:00Holloway, less than a minute to go in the second round.

06:02Breathing heavy here.

06:03Oh, good right hand from the Ukrainian.

06:10The nail.

06:13Right, he's been establishing that jab early, Eric Priest.

06:15You can see him establishing that jab.

06:17Yeah, just keeping him right at the end of it.

06:19You know, he's controlling the pace.

06:20And I can see why Holloway might be getting a little bit tired.

06:26Mouthpiece went out.

06:27Yeah, you're saying it's tired.

06:28I see him getting a little bit tired because, you know, Alexander, he's controlling.

06:32He's just like he's pushing him back.

06:33He's doing calculated aggression.

06:35And it's like somebody just being in your face the entire time, you know.

06:38That anxiety, that stress of somebody being there in front of you all the time is aware on you.

06:44If you can't control him, keep them away.

06:46You're seeing a very sharp nail.

06:50The 10-month layoff helping him out.

06:52Oh, yeah, yeah.

06:53It's good that he's already back in the middle.

06:54You know, 10 months, like, I wouldn't do it anymore.

06:56Because, I mean, a ring rest is a real thing.

07:00So he's definitely good that he's active right now.

07:08Done with two.

07:14Can you see the corner of Galloway?

07:15They're working on him.

07:24The highlights here of that second round.

07:26Oh, you can see that.

07:33Yeah, you can just see Alexander, he's trying to set things up.

07:35You know, he's trying to counter that jab.

07:37Galloway, he's throwing somewhat of the same jab every single time.

07:41So if you keep doing that, you've got to change up the speeds on that.

07:44But, you know, at the same time, Galloway, tough guy.

07:48He's taking some shots and he keeps going.

07:50You know, he's here to fight.

07:52That's for sure.

07:52All right, third round of action.

08:07This was scheduled for eight.

08:08The nail looking good.

08:10Being aggressive and attacking.

08:12Again, tough the round along with Eric Priest.

08:16Prospect coming in.

08:18Fighting soon, he says.

08:20Yes, sir.

08:20Won't tell me when, but he'll be fighting soon.

08:22Very soon.

08:23Announcement coming soon.

08:24Yes, sir.

08:26Galloway, nine, seven, and three.

08:28He lost to Tristan Calcutt.

08:32And he goes down here in the third.

08:36He got tagged.

08:37I don't know if he's going to get up.

08:39He is very, very wobbly.

08:41And he got it nine.

08:42Come to me.

08:43Come to me.

08:44Go that way.

08:45Go this way.

08:47Show me something here.

08:49You hear referees saying, show me something.

08:51Third round.

08:52The nail.

08:54Trying to put the nail in this one.

08:56Hook from Alexander.

08:58You see, he's not just rushing in.

09:00That's that experience.

09:02He's setting things up off his jab still.

09:05Man, those jabs are stiff from Alexander.

09:08Those are punches.

09:08Those are real punches, not just jabs.

09:15Galloway is tough, man.

09:16He's still throwing his shots.

09:18Let him go.

09:18Work it out.

09:19Stop.

09:20Stop.

09:21Stop.

09:22Oh, and he gets tagged upstairs.

09:29Wobbling goes down for the second time in the third round.

09:34Galloway is in danger right now.

09:39Referee stops it here in the third after he went down twice.

09:52137 of the third round.

09:55The third round, as the ref had seen enough, the way that he got up, the way that he was

10:03wobbling, referees said no.

10:07And before that knockdown, he even told them, he told Galloway, or Halloway, make sure you

10:13show me something.

10:14And Halloway didn't show enough for the referee, stops it with 137.

10:21It was inevitable.

10:22It was going to be some more damage.

10:23Good stoppage for me.

10:24Oh, I absolutely agree.

10:27Let's look at the knockdown that ended it.

10:32Oh, good hook.

10:33Wow.

10:33Yeah, yeah.

10:33He's setting up that straight power jab the entire time.

10:36And, you know, so, you know, he's going straight, going straight.

10:39Then, boom, goes right around.

10:42Great.

10:42Great setup.

10:43Great execution by Alexander.

10:46Yeah, Halloway is a tough dude.

10:47But Alexander Woznik from Kyrgyz, Ukraine, gets his 17th KO.

10:53He's now 21-2.

10:55The nail back in the mix.

11:01Looks sharp.

11:02Very sharp.

11:03Very sharp.

11:04You see all that time that he's, you know, putting in the gym all the sparring.

11:08It's paying off.

11:10It's always a great feeling.

11:17Well, ladies and gentlemen, the end comes officially 1 minute 37 seconds.

11:21Round number 3, referee David Sullivan puts a halt to the fight.

11:25Your winner, by way of knockout, Alexander the Nail Woznik.

11:51All right.

11:53So, two.
