00:00White letters up is gonna be good. Same thing here. Everything under the white letters up is gonna be good.
00:04You got my instructions in the back. Protect yourselves at all times. Listen to my commands. Touch them up. Back to your corner, gentlemen.
00:12Thomas Taylor getting this main event assignment.
00:16Good. Mark, we good? It is the heavy-handed Ukrainian
00:21taking on
00:23the professor, Serhii Boachuk.
00:27Michael Fox.
00:30Ten rounds of boxing here to cap off an exciting night at Hollywood Fight Nights. Thank you. You ready? You ready?
00:39TJ DeSantis along with Pearl Gonzalez.
00:41Round one underway. Boachuk in the blue, trimmed with white.
00:46Michael Fox in the all-white.
00:52Fox has a
00:54reach advantage here. We'll see if he can utilize it. That right hand didn't get through.
00:59He talked about that. He said he's got to stay long and rangy and box.
01:04Tonight,
01:06Michael Fox started boxing with his dad. His dad was actually training his older brother and
01:12would just hit the bag and finally the dad noticed and and
01:16he's been training and fighting ever since. His dad is in his corner and his main coach.
01:22Let him go, Michael. Let go.
01:25We talked about pressure in this fight. He's
01:28taking on Serhii Boachuk in the biggest fight, the biggest opportunity of his career and Fox said, look, the pressure is all on Serhii Boachuk.
01:39Michael Fox immediately on his bicycle here, doing a great job of moving around the ring.
01:45Durability has been a focal point in this matchup for Fox.
02:03Fox doing a good job of utilizing long-range punches. His ones and twos and moving around the ring.
02:08He's got a good grip.
02:10Long-range punches, it's ones and twos,
02:13and moving around the ring.
02:16Serhai, you know, trying to solve this puzzle here.
02:20Ooh.
02:22Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
02:23Wise as Fox to get out of the corner.
02:25Go.
02:29Nice jab to the body from Serhai Bolychuk.
02:32Gotta put a little sting on that.
02:34There you go.
02:35There you go, good, good.
02:36Gotta put a little sting on that.
02:37Two minutes changing here,
02:38two minutes down in round number one.
02:40There you go.
02:43Ooh, nice shots there, landed by the Ukrainian.
02:50Ooh, beautiful right hand on the button there for Bolychuk.
02:53There you go, good.
02:55All right, stop, stop, stop, stop.
02:56Off the head, off the head.
02:57Go.
02:58And when you turn, you gotta add like you wanna trap.
03:01There you go, good.
03:03And keep turning with it, turn with it.
03:05There you go.
03:07And to sleep.
03:09Along with that jab is Fox.
03:10Yes, and he's got a lot of movement.
03:12Serhai is definitely figuring some puzzle pieces out here.
03:22That's where you gotta put it in there.
03:23Michael Fox is not really throwing hard,
03:25he's just tapping.
03:28Adding some seasoning, salt and pepper right now
03:31in this first round.
03:32I think the same might be able to be said for Bolychuk as well.
03:34He hasn't really thrown a hard, devastating power shot.
03:38We know he's capable of it.
03:42First round in the books.
03:44We talk about that length.
03:45Your thoughts, Pearl, on Fox's ability
03:47to try to utilize that reach of him.
03:50I think, you know, it's a great tactic in here,
03:52especially with a forward pressure fighter
03:54like Serhai Bolychuk.
03:56But Serhai did find an opportunity
03:59to freeze Michael in the corner there.
04:02And so I think that that's exactly what Michael's
04:05gonna have to do in this fight
04:06until he can get comfortable in his feel
04:08and find his range to land some bigger shots.
04:11But the seasoning is perfect right now,
04:13the salt and pepper.
04:14Right now, Serhai is the one that has to adjust
04:16to find his fight and, you know,
04:19really get Michael to plant.
04:23You saw Bolychuk able to get Fox in the corner.
04:26Is that, you think, the goal of Bolychuk
04:30or can he do that at range as well?
04:33I think he can catch him, certainly.
04:34I think once he figures out the timing, for sure.
04:36He's got, obviously, we know, a 96% knockout rate.
04:39He's got hands that can turn the lights out at any point.
04:45But he does like that fight on the ropes, Serhai.
04:53Turning up the pressure here early is Bolychuk.
05:01There you go. Keep on bouncing.
05:03You're standing still. Don't stand still.
05:05There you go.
05:06Michael Fox has a lot of grease on his face.
05:08I noticed that.
05:10I was fighting the guy with 24 knockouts.
05:12I want to make sure that this punch is slick as well.
05:14Big overhand right. Took him off balance a little bit there.
05:17I don't know if it was a step.
05:20But Michael Fox is very smart.
05:22He's very aware and knows the game of boxing.
05:25Knows the ruleset.
05:26You know, he's been in this sport most of his life.
05:30And he's completely involved in it.
05:33Through work, commentary, you know, personal training.
05:36And, you know, so he's crafty and skilled and experienced.
05:44He's passed the one minute of elapsed time mark here in the second round.
05:47Nice right hand finds a home for Bolychuk.
05:52Ugh.
05:56Nice body shot from Michael Fox.
05:59Ugh.
06:08Keeping the pressure on here is Bolychuk.
06:10Couple of right hands there as Fox moves away from the ropes.
06:17Oh, nice right hand from Soto.
06:20Ugh.
06:22Michael Fox had a nice uppercut of his own.
06:25Use the rope!
06:27We talk about the reach here of Fox, but just the height as well.
06:31Bolychuk probably not used to throwing punches at a man who stands six foot three inches tall.
06:35Yeah, you can see he's kind of coming up out of his stance to try to land to the head.
06:40I think Serhai could, you know, just go to the body right now.
06:44And start to wear and chop the tree down a little bit here.
06:47And slow down the movement of Michael Fox.
06:51Bolychuk's going to have a hard time with Fox because Michael is certainly on a bike right now.
06:54And his coach is calling for him to utilize the ring and move around it.
07:10Bolychuk getting to work here.
07:12Inside the final 30 seconds of the second round.
07:15Again, scheduled for 10, our main event here of Hollywood Fight Nights.
07:19Beautiful right hand for Bolychuk.
07:21Nice overhand there for Bolychuk.
07:27You can see the movement of Michael Fox is upsetting Bolychuk a little bit here.
07:41Two rounds in the books.
07:44I think Fox's physical stature is definitely forcing Bolychuk to make some adjustments.
07:53I mentioned the height and frame of Fox.
07:56It's definitely unorthodox.
07:58Not necessarily what Bolychuk is used to have standing in front of him.
08:01Let's take a look at some of the action there from that second round.
08:05Pearl walk us through.
08:08Let's see here.
08:09Michael Fox was doing a great job of sneaking out to his right side there.
08:14As you can see, Bolychuk landing some nice uppercuts there.
08:18And his ability to get in tight.
08:21He's certainly finding some success in getting inside of Michael Fox.
08:25But Michael Fox is doing a good job of veering to that right.
08:28And Bolychuk hasn't adjusted yet to that pivot.
08:32And tends to follow him at times instead of cutting him off and corralling him.
08:40But Bolychuk is certainly landing the better shots.
08:43And he's getting closer and closer as this fight goes on to landing bigger and bigger shots.
08:48Third round underway. Again scheduled for 10.
08:51PJ DeSantis along with Pearl Gonzalez inside the Commerce Hotel and Casino.
08:57You know you asked Michael how does he see this fight playing out.
09:02And he said early on in this fight it's competitive and then he runs away with the title at the end.
09:11Let's see if he can try to take over.
09:14Still in his face here is Bolychuk.
09:17And you can see right there the power still in that right hand.
09:21You mentioned earlier in the fight that you didn't think Fox was really trying to land real powerful shots.
09:27Have you seen a change in his output at all?
09:29No, he's just peppering still.
09:31And right now I think he's trying to figure out the movement first.
09:37And Bolychuk is, you know, there was a big body shot landed from Bolychuk.
09:42And he's starting to plant Michael Fox a little bit more.
09:47Plant Michael Fox a little bit more here.
09:50Oh, nice right hand from Bolychuk, another one.
09:54You can hear those shots land with some thudding force.
09:57Big left hook landing from so high.
09:59Oh, beautiful left hand there by Bolychuk.
10:06Fox staying composed trying to get on his bike and back up.
10:10He is, but this is a grueling fight.
10:12He's fighting on the back foot.
10:15It can be so discouraging when you have someone that just will not get off of you, like Serhai.
10:20And Serhai is all over him and in front of him now.
10:23And he's finding a better way to deal with the movement of Michael.
10:28And getting him to plant.
10:30And this is difficult.
10:32This is a discouraging fight to fight here.
10:38Good punches there landed by Bolychuk a moment ago.
10:41One minute remains here in this third round.
10:43I think Michael Fox really needs to establish a jab.
10:47And get back to those long-ranging punches that he was landing.
10:50Because this tight work, this is all Serhai Bolychuk's fight here.
10:55And you can see these punches from Bolychuk.
10:57They're eliciting a much different reaction from Fox than his punches were earlier in the fight.
11:02Yes, and Michael doesn't have a jab.
11:05He's not really throwing it.
11:07He's throwing tight punches.
11:09And he's the lengthier fighter.
11:11He should be fighting long and at range.
11:13Ones and twos.
11:15Especially the jab.
11:17And I haven't seen a jab come out of Fox.
11:25Bolychuk keeping the fight in close.
11:34Those are moments here of the third.
11:41Hard right hand by Bolychuk to end the third round.
11:46You mentioned that reach of Michael Fox.
11:48It's one thing to have it.
11:50It's another thing to use it.
11:52We'll see if he makes the adjustment as this fight goes on.
11:55Some action here though from the third round brawl.
11:57Here's Serhai landing that beautiful left hook.
12:01He's doing a good job of coming around the guard and finding his openings.
12:05Look at that beautiful right-left hook landing from him.
12:09And he's got him planted in the corner here.
12:12She knows a thing or two about a hook.
12:14Right hook, Roxy Produsko.
12:16Hanging out tonight.
12:17We talked to her earlier in the commentary booth.
12:19Can't wait to see her next fight here inside the 360 Promotion Drain.
12:28Round four about to get underway again.
12:30Scheduled for 10.
12:40All the way back to me, buddy.
12:42Go.
12:43TJ DeSantis along with Porro Gonzalez live from inside the Commerce Casino Hotel.
12:48It is a site of Hollywood fight nights.
12:50And Serhai Bolychuk lands a nice right hand to start this fourth round.
12:59Nice combination from Michael Fox there.
13:04Yeah, Bolychuk I think overextending himself a little bit.
13:08Trying to take advantage.
13:12That was a nice right hand from Michael Fox.
13:31Bolychuk starting to land here.
13:34Close, nice right hand.
13:39As he mentioned, Porro, Fox is inviting Bolychuk in.
13:42And not only trying to keep him at range with his left.
13:44No, but he's doing a good job of getting back to his salt and pepper.
13:48Landing these nice little shots here.
13:51Good body shot.
13:53He was landing long punches in the beginning of the round.
13:56And they were helping and working for him.
13:59But, you know, the pressure, the constant pressure of Serhai is, again, it's discouraging.
14:05It diminishes your game and it can just force you to fight this style of fight.
14:11Stop, stop, stop. Go, go.
14:15Just past the halfway point of round number four.
14:25Nice jab.
14:36I think it would really help Serhai get Michael to plan if he starts utilizing some feints in here.
14:58Forty-five seconds left.
15:01Because right now Michael Fox has his rhythm figured out and is able to move around the movement of Serhai.
15:09He's not really landing much.
15:13But that movement to the right is offsetting Serhai's balance.
15:18Yeah, we've seen a change in output here from Michael Fox.
15:22Light on his feet, a lot of circling and moving.
15:31Final ten seconds of the fourth.
15:33Serhai having a tough time pivoting to the left.
15:36Listen for that bell, gentlemen.
15:38I don't know if it's a movement thing.
15:42Time right there.
15:43Just a little offset on that left pivot.
15:45And it could be because he's planning so, you know, he's planning his feet to try to land the big shot
15:50that he's unable to pivot on that lead foot.
15:53But that's working really well for Michael, that movement to the right.
15:56We saw more movement, I think, from him in that round than we have throughout the fight.
16:00We'll see if he tries to capitalize on that.
16:02If you're in the corner of Serhai Bochuk, what do you tell your fighter to stop that evasive movement?
16:07Feints. I think feints right now will really help him in setting up some movement, stepping to the left.
16:12You know he's going to, at this point, we know Michael Fox is going to move to the right.
16:16So instead of coming and attacking straight in, you know, you've got to start to hit that forty-five angle and enter.
16:23That way you're veering to where Michael's going.
16:26So you're not necessarily hitting Michael where he's at, but you're hitting him where he's going to be.
16:35About to get the fifth round of our main event underway.
16:45Crowd coming alive for Bochuk.
16:54Cutting him off on that left side of Bochuk.
16:59And Michael Fox's right side will really help and force him to go, to fade to the left.
17:04And I think that Serhai has better movement when he fades, when Michael Fox moves to the left versus the right.
17:12When Michael Fox moves to the left like that, Serhai's, you know, challenged with adjusting there.
17:24Fox initiates a clinch. Thomas Taylor shutting it down, keeping these guys at space.
17:31See, Bochuk is stepping on the inside of Michael Fox, he's got to step on the outside and cut off that movement.
17:39That was better. Or just exit, exit and pull back a second instead of coming forward.
17:46Next ones and twos from Michael Fox.
17:50Oh, sweat all over me.
17:54Tom Lawford will take care of that dry cleaning though.
17:59Good left hand there by Bochuk.
18:08There, he's doing a better job of corralling him right here.
18:12Yeah, Fox doing a good job at not accepting any of these positions that Bochuk was putting him in earlier in the fight.
18:19Yes.
18:21But, Bochuk is relentless with that forward pressure as we knew.
18:28And he is finding moments to freeze Michael Fox.
18:35Mike, let him go.
18:37Michael Fox.
18:40Mike, let him go.
18:50It's changing in close quarters here.
19:00Off the head, off the head. Let it go.
19:06The body with the left hand was Fox.
19:21Utilizing that right hand was Fox.
19:25Yeah, he's doing a great job of utilizing lateral movement here.
19:28Pivots.
19:30I think the name of the game here for Fox as we reach the final moments of this round is just trying to frustrate Sirai Bochuk.
19:39Yes, and he's doing a great job of it right now because Sirai unable to really let his hands go.
19:48Thank you, sir.
19:52Just past the halfway point of this fight.
19:55Five down, five to go.
19:58A look in the corner of the number one ranked WBC super welterweight Sirai Bochuk.
20:08We've seen some adjustments out of that man, Michael Fox.
20:13What do you think his corner is going to be?
20:14I keep hearing them yell to utilize the ring.
20:18The way he fought that last round is exactly how they want him to fight this fight.
20:23Constantly on his pedal.
20:25Peppering and popping shots.
20:27No need to plant his feet and throw a big shot.
20:30Just throw the salt and pepper.
20:32Just add seasoning in here.
20:34That's the style of fight they want tonight.
20:36They want him to bounce.
20:45Sixth round underway.
20:47TJ DeSantis along with Pearl Gonzalez inside the Commerce Casino Hotel.
20:51It is the site of Hollywood fight nights.
20:53Appreciate you joining us live on UFC Fight Pass.
20:58Sirai doing a better job of corralling here.
21:03But that reach of Michael Fox is certainly frustrating.
21:07These shots aren't hurting him, but they're just frustrating.
21:10Fox doing a good job always circling away from that power side of Bochuk.
21:15Nice. I like the feints that Sirai is starting to implement.
21:24Doubling up on that jab with Bochuk.
21:31Nice jab there from Sirai.
21:40Swing and a miss by Bochuk with that right hand.
21:43There was some power on it.
21:53The corner is asking him to use the ropes and they want him to bounce off of it.
21:56Utilizing the momentum of the ropes.
21:59Mike, pull the arm out. Pull it out.
22:01Just past the halfway point of the sixth.
22:03Nice uppercuts.
22:06There you go, Chuck.
22:10Bochuk's got it.
22:12Bochuk's got it.
22:14Bochuk's got it.
22:16Bochuk's got it.
22:18Bochuk's got it.
22:20Bochuk's got it.
22:22Bochuk's got it.
22:23Bochuk's got it.
22:44Good left finds a home for Bochuk.
22:47He's getting closer. He's doing a better job of dealing with the movement this round.
22:53Good.
22:59I think this fight for Bochuk, it might take him a little bit longer
23:03to sort of get used to the constant evasive movement from Fox.
23:07But again, not a lot of guys that you're going to stand in front of in the gym
23:11at this weight class that are 6'3".
23:13Absolutely. Michael Fox is really long.
23:20And he's doing a good job of really utilizing the footwork right now.
23:23He's doing a good job of utilizing the footwork right now.
23:35Closing moments of the 6th.
23:466 down, 4 to go in our main event.
23:53We will take a look at some of the action from that 6th round pro walkthrough.
23:58You know, Michael Fox did another great job of moving,
24:01but Serhai was able to corral him much better.
24:04Landed a beautiful uppercut of his own,
24:07and constantly pressing forward.
24:09But I did think he did a much better job with his movement
24:13and his balance in that round.
24:18Yeah, Fox doing a good job at leaning on his gifts that he's given here.
24:23You know, he's long and rangy and moving,
24:25always constantly moving away from that power side of Boachuk.
24:31We'll see what adjustments are made now as we're about to enter the 7th.
24:477th round underway.
24:49Again, our main event of Hollywood Fight Night.
24:51TJ DeSantis along with Pearl Gonzalez.
24:53Supporters here inside the Commerce Casino coming alive for Serhai Boachuk.
25:04Right hand there on the inside by Boachuk.
25:08Fox trying to answer.
25:23Left hand, right hand, left hand, left to right, the other right.
25:33It was nice, whatever one it was.
25:49Both men working the body here.
25:54Ooh, just missed on that one from Serhai.
26:04Oh, nice right hand from Serhai.
26:12Halfway point of the 7th round.
26:17You know, and Michael Fox talked about
26:20as he is analyzing and commentating on fights,
26:24that he's better able to analyze the fighter in front of him
26:28and it helps him in the ring fight.
26:31And you can see that he is fighting a very smart fight tonight.
26:34I wish that worked for me.
26:36I've fought a lot of fights, Pearl.
26:38I can't fight at all.
26:45Inside the final minute of the 7th round.
26:50Good left hand by Boachuk.
27:03You can hear that one, cutting impact.
27:17Caught in the corner here.
27:19This Fox, able to push his way forward and get out of it.
27:43Serhai really looking for a shot here.
27:46Now 7 rounds down, 3 to go.
27:50It's an interesting puzzle for Boachuk to solve,
27:56but I think in that round he did land some good,
27:59effective, powerful shots.
28:01I think so too, TJ.
28:03And you know what's interesting is even though these shots
28:05are few and far between,
28:07Michael Fox is certainly wearing this fight.
28:09He's spitting out blood.
28:11The champ.
28:13Mizuki Haruta, we saw her shine earlier tonight.
28:15She loves this game.
28:17She's done, she can go home,
28:19enjoying and celebrating her win.
28:21You gotta love it.
28:23For the few shots that Serhai has landed,
28:28Michael Fox is wearing this fight.
28:30If you look at his face, he's spitting out blood
28:32throughout the round.
28:34He's got a mouse on his eye.
28:36Both eyes potentially.
28:38So that shows the power of Serhai Boachuk.
28:42Yeah, as you mentioned, I think the shots are maybe fewer
28:45and further between than we're used to from Boachuk,
28:47but when they land, they're definitely having an effect.
28:51Yes.
28:55I like the in and out movement from Serhai.
29:01I think when he takes a small step back,
29:03he's giving himself a little space to see where the fight is
29:06instead of just pressing forward.
29:17Oh!
29:19Good combination there a moment ago.
29:33Fox able to push Serhai away, back at space.
29:37Nice shot.
29:39Serhai, he's got it.
29:41He's got it.
29:43He's got it.
29:45He's got it.
29:47Nice jab there from Serhai.
29:58Oh!
30:00Digging body shot from Serhai.
30:12Going to the body again is Boachuk with that left hand.
30:14Serhai found a nice short little right hand.
30:17I wonder if he can find that again.
30:20A moment ago.
30:24You can see that mouse you mentioned
30:27on that right eye of Michael Fox.
30:29Yes.
30:31And I look at this game plan of Fox.
30:34He's done a good job being on his bike
30:37and having that lateral movement,
30:39but when you talk about quality of punches that are landing,
30:42it's clear one fighter's wearing the damage
30:44and it's not Serhai Boachuk.
30:46Right.
30:48Because Michael doesn't have a lot of left hand.
30:51He's got a lot of right hand.
30:53He's got a lot of left hand.
30:55He's got a lot of right hand.
30:57He's got a lot of left hand.
30:58Because Michael doesn't have a lot of sting on his punches.
31:01There's not a lot of heat coming from them.
31:03He's just constantly moving.
31:05He's just peppering.
31:07It's just a little seasoning.
31:09If he did add a little bit of umph on those punches,
31:11what would that do for him?
31:13Right.
31:15Because I don't think he's thrown like one really hard shot
31:17this entire fight.
31:19I think the fight for him is more the game plan
31:21is just to get away.
31:23Closing in on the final moments of round of eight,
31:25but I wonder if Fox believes that he can win this fight
31:26on points with that offensive output without the power.
31:28I think so.
31:30You know, he talked about fighting a boxing fight
31:32and being a boxer and that's what he's doing tonight
31:34is relying on the points.
31:36But that was a nice left hook from Serhai there.
31:38Eight down, two to go.
31:40Boachuk with some good shots.
31:42Landed in that round.
31:44He's got a lot of left hand.
31:46He's got a lot of left hand.
31:48He's got a lot of left hand.
31:50He's got a lot of left hand.
31:52He's got a lot of left hand.
31:54He's got a lot of left hand.
31:56He's got a lot of left hand.
31:58He's got a lot of left hand.
32:00Your thoughts, Pearl, as we head to the final two.
32:02Um, it's an interesting fight.
32:04Very interesting.
32:06I'm, I think the judges have their hands
32:08kind of full here
32:10because Michael Fox is landing,
32:12it seems to be landing the volume
32:14and the more punches,
32:16but Serhai's certainly landing
32:18the better of the punches,
32:20so I'm unsure how this fight is going.
32:22I think that Serhai, you know,
32:24has to start punching what he's really good at
32:26not going forward but taking that 45 angle and attacking on an angle versus
32:31going straight in and he'll find more success because Michael's not going to
32:35stay put. He's going to just pop and shot him. For Michael he's got to actually like step
32:40into some of his shots here and actually try to land something and land
32:45something good. Yeah because I mean I think Fox while he's landing some shots
32:49he's not doing anything to really deter Boachuk. Boachuk still staying to his
32:53game being aggressive. Round number nine underway.
33:04Nice right hand for Boachuk. Goes to the body, lands a left as well.
33:23Up against the ropes here is Fox. Nice body shot from Boachuk.
33:43Beautiful right hand. That short right hand has landed several times for Sirhai.
33:54He does a good job of setting it up off of his left hook.
34:08You mentioned that corner of Michael Fox. I mean the word movement it's almost
34:14every other word in terms of advice for him. Yes they want him constantly moving
34:20and it I mean it is working but it's more of a defensive style of fighting
34:26whereas the offense you know he needs more offense. It's one of those fights
34:32where Michael Fox is going to say oh look I made him fight my style of fight
34:36but if this were a fight in the schoolyard there's no debate who's
34:39winning this fight. It's Boachuk. Right.
34:44Nice short right hand for Boachuk. Another one.
34:5045 seconds remain in this ninth round.
35:09That short right hand is getting closer and closer.
35:21Digging the body with that right hand was Boachuk.
35:34Uppercut by Fox thrown the way of the Ukrainian.
35:39Nine down one to go in our main event. Sirhai Boachuk, Michael Fox.
35:57We'll see what this tenth and final round looks like but before we do that
36:02let's take a look at some of the action from round number nine.
36:06Sirhai on the crawl here. His ability to plant here and get Michael Fox
36:13to stay put was better but Michael Fox again on the go.
36:17Doing a good job of moving around the body.
36:26Working on the mouse underneath that right eye.
36:35As you mentioned Pearl, Michael Fox doing what he said he wanted to do
36:39and that was keep movement and trying to take over.
36:42I don't think he's quite taken over in the way that he would like to have
36:46but he's still posing some problems.
36:49We got one final round yet to go.
36:53We'll see how aggressive these men get here in this final three minutes.
37:06Oh, and that's the mentality you know.
37:14Michael Fox has great movement and ability.
37:17When you have this kind of advantage you imagine being able to like put down
37:22someone like a Sirhai Boachuk and really hurt someone like that.
37:26What that would do is he said the opportunities that would present themselves
37:29instead of you know just trying to evade.
37:32Right.
37:36It feels like Fox is trying to make an argument that he's winning the fight.
37:40Where Boachuk, I think he's making an argument.
37:43Right. Agreed.
37:47It's like the mindset of fighting not to lose versus fighting to win
37:53and make a statement.
37:54Right.
37:55And that's the mentality.
37:58Nice right hand for Boachuk.
38:01That was a nice combination from Michael Fox.
38:08Right hand to the body by Boachuk.
38:14Closing in on the final 90 seconds of the fight.
38:21Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
38:23No knockdown.
38:26Falling forward to his knees there is Fox.
38:29Action back underway.
38:32Up the head, up the head.
38:44Up against the ropes here, Boachuk.
38:47Boachuk coming forward here.
38:50He's got less than a minute to keep that knockout percentage.
39:00Right, right, right.
39:03Box! Box!
39:06Box!
39:08Box!
39:10Box!
39:12Box!
39:16Now inside the final 30 seconds of the fight.
39:25Nice right hand there by Boachuk.
39:27Let him go.
39:28Let him go.
39:37No knockdown there, a little push.
39:40Boachuk slips.
39:48And we go the distance.
39:52Judges will tally their 10s and 9s.
39:56It was an interesting fight for a variety of reasons.
39:59Michael Fox using good lateral movement,
40:02but really never threw a lot of punishment
40:04back the way of Sir High Boachuk.
40:07Boachuk able to land throughout the fight,
40:11marking up the face of Michael Fox,
40:13but a frustrating fight at times for Boachuk.
40:16And I think that was just simply the stature,
40:20the size, the movement of Michael Fox.
40:23But again, for all my very unofficial scorecard,
40:26I'm going to lean towards Sir High Boachuk,
40:28because he was the one that was fighting to finish the fight.
40:30Absolutely, and he was constantly bringing the fight
40:33and attempting to land big shots and close the show tonight.
40:39But, you know, for Michael Fox there was a lot to be proud of.
40:43He did a great job of movement
40:45and really utilizing his footwork around Sir High Boachuk.
40:50But, you know, I don't think any shots were really...
40:53I mean, there's no where on Sir High's face here.
40:57Right. Take a look at some of the action
40:59from that 10th and final round.
41:01That was the little push off you could see.
41:03Boachuk just kind of caught in a weird position
41:06and Fox just pushed on his face.
41:08Well, he was coming forward
41:10and he was coming up out of his stance and square.
41:12And so, you know, it was a slip more than anything.
41:16It certainly wasn't a punch there.
41:18No, absolutely.
41:19It did that.
41:20Referee Thomas Taylor was wise to that.
41:28It was an important fight, I think, for Sir High Boachuk
41:30who wants to be prepared and ready for when that call comes
41:35for a title opportunity.
41:38And he was in there with very tough and game and smart Michael Fox.
41:43Fox knew how to try to approach this fight.
41:48And he definitely stuck to his game plan.
41:52But that face of the Ukrainian pretty clean
41:55and the same can't be said for the American.
42:01All right, the judges have tallied their 10s and 9s
42:04for our official decision.
42:06For the final time tonight, we go inside the ring to Matt Perrino.
42:09Ladies and gentlemen, after 10 rounds of action,
42:14we go to the judges for a decision.
42:17The judges read the contest.
42:1997-93, 97-93, and 98-92.
42:25Declaring the winner by unanimous decision,
42:30out of the red corner, Sir High El Phelps Paul Boachuk.
42:42Sir High Boachuk getting his hand raised tonight
42:45in our main event.
42:47Unanimous decision.
