00:00Referee, Les Spear with instructions.
00:02All right, fellas, this is my instructions at all times.
00:04I don't ask you to break or stop. I want you to do so.
00:07You understand those instructions?
00:09Protect yourselves at all times, fellas. Let's go. Touch them up.
00:11So Charlie Kazzie avoids the stare of Patrick Vela,
00:16who had the big walk out and has been all intensity ever since.
00:22As we get started here on main event, Ben Damon in commentary
00:27alongside former champion Ted Kofi and former world champ
00:31Tim Zou has joined us as well.
00:32And surely if you come out like that and behave the way that he has,
00:36Vela, he has to be able to fight.
00:38I'm starting to be a bit scared.
00:41There's so much intensity.
00:43He has been the star of Fight Week.
00:45And now this is where it is all important.
00:49He's in there with a good one
00:51in Kazzie, who Ted has to stay composed here in the early stages.
00:56Yeah, he's got to. He's coming in against the golden boy.
00:59You know, the guy that's here to do real damage.
01:01But Kazzie is no joke, man.
01:02You can see he's just just biding his time, looking for them right shots.
01:06And he's already taken the center of the ring.
01:08And in this early part of this fight, there's a good uppercut from Vela.
01:13He's really using all the ring.
01:15He's bouncing off the ropes and moving laterally as well
01:18and punching from all angles.
01:20An uppercut gets through.
01:22But it is Kazzie.
01:23But he's just trying to box and work nicely off his jab.
01:27And Tim, I know you've seen plenty of Charlie Kazzie.
01:30What have you been impressed by so far?
01:32Yeah, I think he starts slow, but usually he puts the pressure on.
01:36He's got good body work.
01:38He's already starting to work the body.
01:41Yeah, I'd recommend him to start a little bit earlier and then put it on.
01:45Yes. So he's putting on a good shot.
01:49Oh, he shows the body shot.
01:51Watch that left rip.
01:53That is a good shot from Kazzie that got onto the body of Vela.
01:57Vela scored with a little punch of his own, and he's having some moments.
02:00He's golden boy.
02:03You know, I like Vela's energy.
02:07You know, I just don't want him to become a meme.
02:08He's got to stay in there and make it a real tough fight.
02:11There is that danger, isn't there?
02:12When you go, his body shots are breaking already.
02:15Already they're starting.
02:17Yeah, it can come back to haunt you in fight week with the way
02:20that he has elevated his position through the course of the week.
02:24If things don't go well, he could find himself
02:27variously shared around the Internet, but he's in there having a crack
02:31right now is Vela, but Kazzie is showing some class.
02:34There's a right hand for Vela gets through.
02:37As he comes back with a couple, Vela responds.
02:41It's a good fight.
02:42Yeah, it's a great fight.
02:45Yeah, he can definitely fight Vela as he gets on a jab.
02:48He looks good when he does so as well.
02:50Kazzie to the body and body shots are going to really take a toll.
02:53Yeah, that's the punch.
02:55It would seem for Kazzie is working to that body of Vela.
03:03He's had success
03:05through this opening round as Vela fires back with a few
03:09and now he jabs strongly, too.
03:12Yeah, that is putting everything into them shots, using nervous energy.
03:15He's got to settle down a bit himself on two and three for Kazzie.
03:19But Vela just covers up to it all and we're three minutes down
03:23around through this eight rounder that opens up the action on main events.
03:29Kazzie and Vela.
03:31We have a fight, no doubt.
03:33Keep jabbing, keep slipping, keep moving, keep dancing.
03:37Good work, Paddy. Stay calm.
03:40Yeah.
03:43Stay calm, brother.
03:44Keep working. Keep moving.
03:46I want that straight jab.
03:47Flick that jab out, land that body shot.
03:49Hook, walk around him. Keep moving, angle, angle.
03:52And we have the soul taker with us.
03:54So tell us about the body shots.
03:56He's starting with, he's getting his, making him put his hands up
04:00and then he's ripping the right left.
04:02He's really setting up that left and over the rounds,
04:04if you keep throwing these shots, Vela's going to be feeling it
04:07and he's going to be slowing down right now.
04:09He's got the leg movement.
04:10But when you keep getting hit like that, your legs are going to slowly start
04:14stopping, so.
04:22Round number two,
04:24Charlie Kazzie and the surprise packet in Patrick Vela.
04:29Vela is 2-0 coming into this fight, undefeated a couple of four rounds
04:33as he's had so far.
04:35No doubt he's stepping up the level of his opposition
04:38against the very impressive eight-note Charlie Kazzie.
04:42But he's here to fight and he does not lack confidence.
04:45That's for sure. Body shots from Kazzie again, though.
04:48Yeah, Kazzie's just trying to show him you don't play boxing, man.
04:51This is a serious game.
04:52Them body shots are killer.
04:54Over the top goes Vela.
04:56A wild overhand right.
04:59And he finds a left hook as well, does Vela.
05:02Good shots from Kazzie to the body,
05:04but Vela just has a couple of good looking moments there.
05:08There's another counter shot as well.
05:10It was a right hand from Kazzie and Vela came straight back.
05:13And Vela works the uppercuts also.
05:16Body shot Kazzie.
05:19One and two from Vela.
05:20Yeah, the difference is when when Vela lands his shots,
05:23he doesn't seem to be hurting Kazzie, but Kazzie's shots
05:25already seem to have some significance.
05:28Flashy stuff from Vela.
05:32And straight through with a jab on a couple of occasions there is Kazzie.
05:37And if it just slowed down here, probably a better pace for Kazzie
05:42as he gets a left hook away.
05:44Vela's doing well moving, but he's got to settle down a bit as well.
05:48Break, break, step back, break.
05:51Halfway through the second round.
05:55Some flashy moments for Patrick Vela so far.
05:58And a couple more for him.
06:00Kazzie comes through with a few as well.
06:02Kazzie's got a good front hand.
06:04He's using the jab, good jab, straight through the left body and the left hook.
06:09He's a very good combination.
06:12Yeah, some product changes.
06:18Hang around a few left hands, three left hooks.
06:20That's a Rodon's left hook.
06:23Nice. He's got him up there.
06:26Body shot to Felter.
06:27He's Felter. Yeah, yeah.
06:29So Vela doesn't consider.
06:31Here goes Charlie Kazzie.
06:33Can he push forward and find some more of those menacing body shots
06:37that had success for him in the opening round?
06:42Vela, he won't go quietly as he finds a body shot of his own.
06:46But Kazzie comes back.
06:49Arms go down to protect for Vela.
06:53And then he finds some uppercuts.
06:55And he's enjoying these moments.
06:57Three left uppercuts from Vela there, which were nice.
07:00Overhand right misses from Vela.
07:03Kazzie.
07:08He's having to cover up because there's plenty coming back,
07:10but he wants to find the body again.
07:12He finds it there.
07:13Vela just tries to score.
07:15And now he just backs off for a moment, goes to Southpaw here again.
07:19Does Vela find that overhand left as Kazzie goes forward and finds a shot.
07:26Dramatic stuff at the end of round number two, all action.
07:31I think Kazzie got him with a good shot in the end.
07:34He's not feeling too well.
07:36Back in showboating.
07:37I want you to breathe and pause.
07:39Breathe and pause and stay grounded.
07:41No showboating.
07:42Let's win the next round and the next round.
07:45You get the runs on the board.
07:47This is one of the main event fighters, he's Cesar Vaca from Mexico.
07:52He's here to derail entirely the career of Sam Goodman.
07:58A very talented Mexican brawler who can box as well.
08:04So a really good main event we have coming up.
08:07And Vaca is in the house.
08:09We know Sam Goodman has been here for quite some time
08:12because he was watching his training partner, Jason Fawcett,
08:16in the earlier action.
08:18Success two for Fawcett.
08:22But Goodman and Vaca are here right now.
08:25They're watching Kazzie and Vela and Tim Zhu.
08:30You speculated that Vela had been hurt late in that round.
08:33How do you think he's feeling now?
08:35He came out with a smile, so I don't know.
08:38It's a good question.
08:39Oh, there's a left hand that may have just crept towards,
08:45at least, the beltline from Kazzie.
08:47But Vela, he's tough and he has to be.
08:51With the confidence he's shown, he's got to back it up.
08:55And so far, he's done exactly that.
08:56Some flashy shots and he's entertaining, no doubt.
09:01He's in there with a good one in Charlie Kazzie.
09:05Yeah, Vela's hanging in there, trying to give it something.
09:07But Kazzie just looks to be building in strength and confidence.
09:11Taking control of the ball.
09:13Body shot from Kazzie.
09:15The left rip to the body again got through.
09:19Vela stands up to it well.
09:25Oh, nice combination.
09:27Here's Vela, flashy stuff with both hands.
09:35Trying to work low there is Kazzie.
09:38And again, trying to find the body of Vela.
09:47Good shot with the left hand from Vela.
09:50Just leaps out of that position.
09:52He's trying to set things up.
09:55Vela actually doing quite good work on the outside.
09:58Landing a couple of good sneaky shots.
10:04There's that left hand from Kazzie after Vela started the action.
10:07He tries to work underneath this Vela.
10:10Right hand from Kazzie.
10:14Good turn.
10:19Kazzie just keeps pressing forward here on Vela.
10:23He's happy to wheel around.
10:25Now he works.
10:26And there's a right hand from Kazzie.
10:28Vela on the jab.
10:30Counter shot is a good one from Vela.
10:35The stronger shots coming from Kazzie.
10:38The flashy stuff and the swinging coming from Vela.
10:41Uppercut and a left hook from Vela as well.
10:44Kazzie was good on the inside, but you're right, the flashy stuff is Vela.
10:50And he moves nicely again.
10:52It is Kazzie, but he's back against the ropes.
10:56Very high-paced fight.
10:58It is, yeah.
11:00Good left hook from Kazzie got through.
11:04We thought that they might slow it down and that maybe Vela was getting tired at a point,
11:10but he just picked it right up here in round number three.
11:13It's a frantic pace.
11:15Yeah, Vela over-emphasizing his movements, but moving well all the same.
11:20Charlie.
11:21Mate, keep your hand off his neck, all right?
11:24So they head to the stools at the ends of round number three.
11:28And the pace has not slowed.
11:31Here at the Horton Pavilion, we'll get into the corner of Charlie Kazzie.
11:37He's got his dad there.
11:40Johnny Lewis and cut man Brian will might as well.
11:49It's a red carpet arrival for Harry Garside, who's back.
11:55Doesn't know where to go, it's been that long.
11:57Three years since he's had a professional fight.
12:00He saw his name on the door.
12:04And he's back.
12:06Here's Garside.
12:08What a journey he's had since last we saw him, and he is pumped.
12:14Great to see him back.
12:19Garside.
12:21And he'll take on Charlie Bell from Queensland.
12:28As we get rolling here in round number four.
12:32Yeah, from the massive body shots from Kazzie in round one,
12:35we didn't think Vela might be here in round four,
12:37but he's been holding up quite well.
12:39He's obviously well conditioned, no doubt about that, Tim.
12:42Yeah, he hasn't taken this fight lightly.
12:45His legs are still working well.
12:48He's been hit with plenty of shots and he's still coming back.
12:51So he's doing very well.
12:53What do you want to see from Kazzie to try and potentially break down Vela here?
12:57I think, find that energy pocket where you can put it on
13:02and go for that next step.
13:07He's just going with the pace too much.
13:09Pat, get your arms loose.
13:11Just tangle here and hold on.
13:13It's Kazzie who's got a grip on the left arm of Vela there.
13:20Jabbing is Vela.
13:22Kazzie trying to work his way inside.
13:24Wild shots from Vela.
13:27Big right hand over the top, just reached over the top.
13:30This pace is working better for Vela.
13:33Yeah, a hundred percent. I agree with that.
13:35Good shot over the top from Kazzie.
13:37Vela found him earlier, but Kazzie came back with that good one.
13:41And there's another from Vela.
13:44But he gets a smile in return.
13:46Working.
13:47Yeah, he's doing good in this round.
13:48Both hands is Vela.
13:53Charlie's feel like it's slowing down a little.
13:56Good shot, Vela.
13:58Vela using all the ring and all of the punches as well here in this fourth round.
14:04Yeah, using good boxing ability just to keep Kazzie at bay.
14:12Good shots from Vela again.
14:14Kazzie just a single shot at a time in this fourth round.
14:17Some of them good ones though.
14:22And Vela back into center ring now.
14:25And he gets to the body of Kazzie.
14:27Kazzie turns her left hand around.
14:29But he's taking some good shots here from Vela as he rips into the body with his right hand.
14:3845 seconds left in round four.
14:40It's been a good one for Patrick Vela.
14:44He reaches out to the body of Kazzie.
14:51It's certainly something he hasn't seen before, Charlie, Kazzie, Patrick.
14:56Yeah, for sure.
14:58It's something new.
15:00And Vela is having some really strong moments in this fourth round.
15:05I think he's adapting.
15:06He's found it.
15:08Moving, punching.
15:10He's not getting hit as much.
15:12Yeah, he's enjoying this round a bit more.
15:15He's covering up nicely as well when the shots do come from Charlie Kazzie.
15:19So Vela, who didn't need any extra confidence, has just got some.
15:26Momentum's changing.
15:29Really strong couple of rounds, really, for Patrick Vela, back to back.
15:36The golden boy.
15:37Only human, bro. You're beating him on the outside like that.
15:40You've got to keep hitting him with twos and threes and move.
15:42Twos and threes and move. We're beating him all day long.
15:45If he'll stay there and he's going to hold you, straight off.
15:48Lean on him, step back, uppercut, hook right.
15:50You're working out.
15:51You have to work him out. Three to one.
15:53Interesting statistics, right?
15:55Yeah, very interesting.
15:58Kazzie's landing all the body shots while Vela's landing more in the head.
16:08He's having some fun in there.
16:09He's enjoying himself.
16:12Yeah, he loves it, no doubt.
16:16He's bored for the TV.
16:19Boxing needs characters.
16:22Well, we've got one right here in Patrick Vela.
16:30Had a good couple of rounds back to back.
16:32Can he continue here against the classy Charlie Kazzie?
16:36Who's got a man in front of him who seems to have adapted to the fight.
16:40And he needs to do likewise.
16:43Needs to work out this puzzle, the riddle that is Patrick Vela.
16:49Yeah, I think for the first two rounds, Vela was burning a lot of nervous energy.
16:54But he settled down in round three and four.
16:56And now Kazzie's got to look for something major in this round.
16:59Good little shot there from Kazzie with the right hand.
17:02Vela, he came straight back onto him.
17:14The uppercut from Vela misses.
17:16Kazzie on the jab.
17:17Yeah, Kazzie's got to double that jab up and go back to the body.
17:20Body shot, right hand to the body from Kazzie.
17:22But Vela didn't even wince about that one.
17:25He just gets straight back towards him.
17:32Doubling up with that left hand is Kazzie.
17:40And now it's Vela trying to jab and then driving with his right hand long to the body.
17:46As Kazzie gets to work there at close quarters for a moment.
17:51Yeah, Vela's visibly slowed down in this round.
17:53It's going to work to Kazzie's advantage.
17:59A really significant change in pace here in round number five.
18:09Good shot there from Kazzie.
18:10The right hand's off the back of his little left hook.
18:14But they just wait for a moment.
18:25And this is the furthest that Vela has been as a professional boxer.
18:30Coming off the back of his two four-rounder victories.
18:35He's now in round five for the first time.
18:38And he's representing himself really well to say he's fighting a really good boxer.
18:44And he's done brilliantly.
18:46Whatever happens from here is Patrick Vela.
18:49And he's entertaining and charismatic as well.
18:52So he's going to add a huge upset victory here against Charlie Kazzie.
18:59He would be one of the big stories in Aussie boxing as he reaches out to the body with the right hand.
19:04He would be the official golden boy.
19:10To the body and so does Kazzie.
19:14And two and three there from Kazzie.
19:21Vela punched in between the shots and another round down.
19:30Good action and he breathes deeply.
19:32There's Charlie Kazzie in his corner.
19:45Try to cut him off.
19:49Fight one two.
19:52Jab the body over the top right hand.
19:54Try to put the first punch in.
19:56Make this your best round of the fight.
19:58That's right. You've got to come back deep last time.
20:05He's not. He's been here before.
20:07He hasn't.
20:08He's not going to hurt you.
20:21So the 19 year old Charlie Kazzie is in a serious fight here against Patrick Vela.
20:29And they head into round number six of this one.
20:33The Australasian lightweight title is on the line.
20:39I like when Charlie starts jabbing.
20:41He finds his range and he's able to set up his shots better with his left rib and left hook.
20:47Yeah, exactly. He needs to double that jab up and do it more because it is significant.
20:51Setting up everything.
20:59And they want to see more activity from Kazzie.
21:02Sure. You can't see.
21:03He's changing the concept of the fight.
21:08Vela just wheels around to try and find something flashy with either left or right.
21:15And he does exactly that.
21:16But it's Kazzie straight up the middle who connects.
21:20Beautiful uppercut.
21:21Vela's still got spring in his step, which is good.
21:27He hasn't slowed down as it was thought he might.
21:32There's a good shot though from Kazzie.
21:35Left hook.
21:36Straight through onto the jaw of Vela who wore it well.
21:40Right hand from Kazzie.
21:42Vela comes back off the ropes with a couple.
21:45Now they wrestle the center ring.
21:53The pressure that Kazzie's been putting on leading with that jab has made the difference.
21:56It's allowed him to land some body shots and land that nice left hook.
22:00Yeah, doubling up on left hand was Vela.
22:02Kazzie found him as well.
22:09Body shot from Vela and then Kazzie straight up the middle.
22:22Vela taking a visibly deep breath.
22:24Deep breath.
22:27And he tries to jab away.
22:29And they just hang on for a moment inside the final minute of this, the sixth round.
22:46Good work by both guys. Very competitive fight.
22:50Good right hand from Kazzie.
22:52He got through over the top after that exchange.
22:55Very good round for Troll.
23:05Vela just in a spurt.
23:08Trying to give away some judges and trying to score with a few shots.
23:17And there's time for one more flurry and he'll provide it.
23:20Oh, Vela.
23:21Oh, and an uppercut as well for Patrick Vela after what had been a really strong round for the 19-year-old Charlie Kazzie.
23:42Now, same thing we're doing. Angle, angle.
23:45Oh, what a moment.
23:49Stick and move. You've got two rounds left.
23:51Stick and move. Stick and move.
23:53And when you hit Junior with the numbers, try the numbers.
23:56Number one, four. Try the numbers.
24:01Take us through some of the highlights of the previous rounds.
24:03Yeah, you can see here that Kazzie just landed that beautiful left hook on Vela.
24:08Vela moving, coming back there with a counter to the body.
24:11But competitive all the way through.
24:13I think Kazzie landed the more meaningful punches in that particular round.
24:17But it was a very, very good round and a great fight so far.
24:28Oh, as they meet in the middle.
24:30What do you want to see from Charlie Kazzie here in round seven and eight?
24:34I like the way he uses his jab to set it all up.
24:37I don't want to see him just going in straight away.
24:41When he's throwing the jab and setting it up and then throwing the combos
24:44and being able to find the shots, it's much more effective.
24:47And that last round proved it, you know?
24:49Just the front hand and being able to pressure through that.
24:53It's a more energetic Vela at the start of this round than the previous, noticeably.
24:59It's championship rounds.
25:04He's got great movement.
25:06This is Vela, very natural.
25:08The way he gets under shots and around the ring.
25:13Well, he seems a lot more relaxed now than he was in the first couple of rounds.
25:16And so that is making his movement more easy and more fluid.
25:22Good combination punching from Kazzie, working downstairs
25:25and trying to open something up over the top as he jabs strongly as well.
25:29There's Kazzie.
25:30And again, and he does look strong when he can do that
25:33as a right hand gets through as Vela threw his shot.
25:36Uppercut from Vela that nearly touched the floor.
25:47That is a perfect shot from Charlie Kazzie, but Vela was not fazed by it.
25:53Took it really well.
25:56He's got a chin as well to go with everything else to Vela.
26:04And Kazzie goes to the body and he's had success in doing so.
26:11Perhaps some more of that body work could help him here
26:17in the late stages of this fight.
26:19He did score with a really strong right hand over the top, though.
26:23And Vela was unfazed.
26:26Yeah, Vela's representing himself really well, but Kazzie's got to go back
26:30to starting off with that jab before he does anything.
26:32It's worked really, really well for him.
26:36But Vela's still moving very well, changing his angles.
26:39Beautiful.
26:40Throwing a variety of shots.
26:44He would have had to have expected Vela would have slowed down.
26:48Some Lomachenko stuff right there.
26:50Beautiful.
26:51Come on, guys.
26:52Guys, you've just got to call him the golden boy.
26:54Come on.
26:56He's proved himself.
26:57He took the shot well.
26:58He took the shot.
26:59He gave back two uppercuts with his left hand and he sits down
27:02on an overhand right as well.
27:03And now he's talking for Charlie Kazzie.
27:06You've got to love his confidence.
27:08And smiling as well.
27:09Oh, Floyd right there.
27:11Who else can you compare him to?
27:13He's got Lomachenko.
27:14He's had it all.
27:18That was a really good round.
27:20That was a really good round.
27:23That was a really good round.
27:25Floyd Mayweather and Vasily Lomachenko,
27:28the comparison so far from Tim Zhu about Patrick Vela.
27:33But all the while, Charlie Kazzie doing nicely
27:38and locks him strongly at times.
27:40The last three minutes of your life.
27:42There is no tomorrow.
27:43This is it.
27:44It ends here tonight.
27:45Okay?
27:46Last three minutes.
27:47High volume as you can.
27:48Get behind that jab.
27:49Line him up.
27:51Get him in the corner.
27:52Don't let him out.
27:53Do what you've got to do.
28:13So words of wisdom and words of advice
28:16from the legendary Johnny Lewis
28:18as Charlie Kazzie, the 19-year-old,
28:20heads back out to battle for the final round
28:23of what has been a really tough test for him.
28:26Ted Kofi, you are scoring this fight.
28:28How do you have it ahead of this final three-minute period?
28:31Well, I've actually got it four rounds to three
28:33in a very competitive fight
28:34with some very competitive rounds.
28:36I've got a swing either way.
28:37I've got it in favour of Kazzie.
28:40But again, it's subjective
28:42and it's my personal independent opinion.
28:45Okay.
28:46So there we go.
28:47Ted Kofi has it four rounds to three to Charlie Kazzie.
28:55And it is Kazzie pressing forward
28:59and trying to work off the jab in this final round
29:02against the flashy Patrick Vela,
29:04who will not slow down.
29:11Hang on there.
29:13As Kazzie works on the other side.
29:16Yeah, that's nice.
29:17As Kazzie pushed him back, he was working on the inside.
29:19Just unbalancing, unsettling a bit.
29:21He needs to do that even now.
29:23Good shot.
29:24It was a counter shot from Vela
29:26and then Kazzie came back with a big one.
29:31Explosive stuff.
29:33Yeah, he takes every shot well.
29:35There's Vela.
29:37He gave one of his own,
29:38but Kazzie scored big afterwards.
29:43Reaching out is Vela.
29:45Oh, no.
29:46Straight up the middle.
29:47Combination punching.
29:56And again he works downstairs and up.
29:58As Kazzie, Vela tries to do the same.
30:01It is a really good fight.
30:03Yeah, back and forth.
30:04Really good.
30:07And whatever the result at the end of all this
30:10Patrick Vela not only surprised us in fight week,
30:13he surprised us on fight night as well.
30:15He can.
30:17And we know Charlie Kazzie can.
30:20He is quality.
30:32And they both want to do something significant to finish it.
30:37Something significant to finish it.
30:39There's that overhand shot.
30:41And one comes back.
30:44Again he took a shot, Kazzie,
30:46and he takes another with the right hand.
30:48Now they'll just stand and trade this pair.
30:52Kazzie and Vela.
30:55It's all action now.
30:58Trading beautifully.
31:00Vela with rights and lefts
31:02and Kazzie comes back with big punches and scores.
31:07Come on, put your chin back.
31:09And now they just let it all hang out.
31:12Kazzie and Vela.
31:14Eight serious rounds.
31:17And now they start to up the excitement.
31:25Charlie Kazzie and Patrick Vela.
31:27What a fight.
31:29Eight rounds of action and it finished with a bang.
31:33Fantastic final rounds.
31:38Brilliant stuff to finish us off.
31:42A fight worthy of this historic venue
31:46and it is a big welcome to this man.
31:52Patrick Vela who we did not know
31:55before he arrived in Sydney for this fight
31:58and now who we will not forget in a hurry.
32:01Charlie Kazzie though
32:03with the great Johnny Lewis watching on.
32:08He had an awkward one in front of him,
32:10a good one as well,
32:12but Ted Kofi, did he do enough to win at Charlie Kazzie?
32:15Yeah, I think Kazzie did enough.
32:17He was throwing the more meaningful punches,
32:19working well off the jab, throwing the body shots.
32:21I've got it unofficially 77 to 75 in favour of Kazzie,
32:24but you know what? Don't sleep on Vela.
32:27He spoke about being the golden boy
32:29and disrupted the press conference
32:31and actually delivered,
32:32so it was really, really comforting to see.
32:34But you see both guys here going back and forth,
32:37giving it all that they can give in a fantastic fight.
32:42I'm just happy that it was an entertaining fight.
32:44Both boys came at it.
32:46Both boys gave it.
32:49For me, I scored Charlie to win by five to three.
32:53I think it wasn't a shutout.
32:55It was a close fight,
32:56but I think Kazzie slightly edged it.
32:59Yeah, a lot of the rounds were very close, you're right.
33:01They could have gone either way.
33:02Yeah, Vela looked good.
33:03You know, at times he was controlling,
33:05he was controlling the distance,
33:06and it looked like he was enjoying himself out there.
33:09I think he actually was.
33:10It was great to see.
33:11He saw you down there and he loved it.
33:12He did enjoy it.
33:15Look at these guys go, taking big punches
33:17and delivering, giving as good as they got.
33:19Really, really good, entertaining fight.
33:22Well, we already knew how good Charlie Kazzie was
33:24coming into this fight, but Patrick Vela,
33:28he's going to get plenty of opportunities
33:29off the back of that.
33:30An outstanding fight here on Main Event,
33:33and now we can get the scores with ring announcer Stephen Payos.
