03:14Joel Casamayor in the red trunks with the gold trim.
03:38Enrique Valenzuela in the white trunks with the blue trim.
03:42This took place earlier tonight here at Mikasuki Indian Gaming, round one scheduled for 10 super featherweights, 130 pounders.
03:51Well, this Casamayor is much ballyhooed.
03:54He came over from Guantanamo, Cuba, lives here in Miami, defected along with Diabeles Hurtado, which was Costas Jiu's last opponent.
04:01He's trained by 10 Goose, Joe Goosen, in the corner, and they say you're going to expect big things from this young man.
04:10They're very high on them, especially here in the Miami area.
04:12He's a huge favorite around here.
04:14Of course, most of these Cuban boys, as far as coming through Guantanamo, are big favorites of this million-so Cuban exiles that live here.
04:23But this guy's a good. This guy can really fight.
04:26Well, he's a sharp little boxer puncher.
04:28He can come at you with nice, crisp defense, good speed, good foot movement, good fighter.
04:34Now, this is a walk-in-the-park kind of fight because he's fighting a guy at 16 and 20,
04:40and there's just no comparison between the title of these two guys.
04:45Valenzuela in the white, turned pro in 87, won 11 of his first 12, 9 by knockout, but, boy, did he tailspin after that.
04:57Lost his last 12, 6 by knockout, 17 of 18, 11 by knockout.
05:02His last win May of 96.
05:05This is his first fight of 99.
05:07Good streak and a bad streak right now.
05:08He's on the tail end of this terrible streak.
05:10Terrible.
05:10He's going up against an up-and-coming undefeated Southpaw, an Olympic champion, Joel Casemayor, in the red with a goal trip.
05:21And a guy who's got a big, big future in boxing.
05:24So it's just a night to get warmed up and leave here early.
05:29He's going up against an up-and-coming undefeated Southpaw.
05:40Rather flashy trunks on the castle.
05:42We are...
05:45Reminds me of the Marine Corps.
05:47Red and gold.
05:49Semper Fi.
05:52the biggest name at super featherweight is Floyd Mayweather he's the WBC super
05:59featherweight champion but as mentioned before Joe Goosen the trainer for Cosmior
06:04was telling us the man that he has in his sights is the WBHM
06:10Sam who's from Mongolia that's the guy they want they want him they want him
06:15really they want him right away they want a championship belt around this guy's
06:23waist as soon as possible he could see the kind of punishment that he delves
06:27up once he gets a guy in trouble he's already got this guy in trouble and he
06:30doesn't let him that's the end of round one in a fight taped earlier in
06:45coming up next as we've been mentioning Kostya Zoo and Miguel Angel Gonzalez for
06:51the vacant WBC super lightweight championship Kostya Zoo making final
06:57preparations that's Johnny Lewis his trainer on the right Lewis has trained
07:02some terrific fighters in the past Jeff Fennec from Australia Jeff Harding and
07:07now with Kostya Zoo well this is one tough kid and it should be wild particularly
07:16that that first round if he comes out like he always comes up he's a very
07:19determined fully focused mean little fighter and you underline the word mean
07:25he's a very very nice intelligent young man in the ring he's all business to all
07:30busy
07:33has all the makings of a great great fight this is round two it was scheduled for
07:41ten
07:46Casa Mayor 18 and 0 11 knockouts he's on the right of your screen or
07:51Valenzuela in the white trunk with blue trim just sixteen and twenty from Tijuana
07:57Mexico now living in Santa Rosalia Mexico I got a good softening up in that
08:03first round as Casemiro just went to work on him not willing to stick around here any
08:08longer than he has to
08:11nice lead right hand there for Valenzuela but doesn't have the authority on his
08:16punches doesn't have balance nice gesture there by Casemiro looking to help Valenzuela out that
08:23was a slip he's got some class
08:28when it's outpost style has to put a frown on a lot of opponents
08:36Casemiro not only a skilled polished fighter but also a left hander
08:43he's 28
08:50and he looks like he could go pretty far
08:55sharp box a good little punch a nice combinations
08:58tight defense moves well from the outside for work on the inside he has all the tools it's just a matter of what he does
09:04the seventh fight here in the Miami area getting acclimated to the United States after defecting from Cuba
09:19and he's got to produce some great fighters
09:21at least Manuel Rodriguez I mean there were some great
09:26Teofilo Stevenson
09:28well Stevenson didn't come out and fight the pros so these were the ones I'm talking about are champions
09:34guys at Montague Annapolis
09:36he could have gone pretty far though huh
09:38yeah we had a long we had a long list of good good players
09:42as Angelo and Chris had most of them.
09:44Yeah, so I worked with all of them,
09:47and they were magnificent fighters.
09:49Beautiful left uppercut by Casemar.
09:51Here he throws it again.
09:54And down goes Valenzuela.
09:57Late second round.
10:00Valenzuela turned his back, and Casemar just reached around
10:03and hit him right smack on the nose.
10:06Armando Garcia, the referee, waving it off.
10:102-26 of the second round.
10:13A TKO for Joel Casemar, upping his record to 19 at 0.
10:19Just two different classes of fighters, Steve.
10:20You know, it's just one of those nights where you get a tune-up,
10:22you get some work, you stay sharp,
10:24add your experience level, and move on.
10:29Yeah, Valenzuela now losing his 13th in a row,
10:32seventh by knockout.
10:35Casemar picks up his 12th KO in 19 fights.
10:40And able to pad the record here on this night in Miami.
10:45Let's take a look at some of the action.
10:48Casemar is the defense, he's the offense,
10:52he's the class of this particular fight there.
10:54He made Valenzuela missed, and he turned it on
10:56with the uppercut again and again.
10:58And here he reaches around and hits him with the left hook
11:00from behind, but the punch landed in the legal area on the face.
11:06Here we see him getting out of the way of a wild right hand by Valenzuela.
11:10He misses with his own, then he comes up underneath.
11:12That's the first punch that started his whole sequence of wobbles.
11:17There's another double.
11:19One was blocked, the other one came in.
11:20Now he spins him, and he reaches all the way around
11:22and hits him clean, hits him in the face.
11:24One more look at it.
11:28Again, very slick, very smart with his feet and his punches.
11:33Makes his punches count.
11:34The first one that started things, that left uppercut.
11:37He doesn't get too anxious.
11:39He works smart on the inside.
11:41Casemar had a free hand, he used it.
11:43Here he reaches all the way around from behind this man
11:46to catch him in a legal area.
11:50Casemar looks like a good one, even though he was fighting
11:54a lesser quality fighter tonight.
11:57Ladies and gentlemen, we have the time of two minutes,
11:5826 seconds, and now number two, our referee in charge,
12:02Armando Garcia, stops the contest.
12:04He's the winner by way of technical knockout and still undefeated,
12:10Joel El-Centillo Casemar.
12:16So the words of Jimmy Lennon Jr., Joel Casemar,
12:2119-0 with 12 knockouts.
12:24Coming up next, our main event, Sue versus Gonzalez
12:28for the vacant WBC Super Lightweight Championship.
12:35As we close in on our featured fight, Sue versus Gonzalez,
12:38Steve Albert with the fight, Dr. Ferdi Pacheco.
12:40And let's discuss this fight between Costia Zou
12:43and Miguel Angel Gonzalez for the vacant WBC
12:45Super Lightweight Championship.
12:47It's a power puncher in Costia Zou versus a skilled
12:50seasoned boxer in Miguel Angel Gonzalez,
12:53the number one contender.
12:54Who has the edge under these circumstances?
12:57I think the edge has to go to Gonzalez.
12:59He's got much better competition.
13:01Plus, he's taller.
13:03Plus, he has a tremendous reach.
13:05He can jab.
13:06He's a master jabber, and without reach he's got,
13:08he should keep Katsu dancing at the end of the jab.
13:12On the other hand, Katsu is such a devastating,
13:15strong puncher.
13:15He comes in low.
13:17He's got to come in, try to get under everything
13:20that's going to be coming his way,
13:21and pound the body of Gonzalez.
13:23It's not easy to do.
13:24Gonzalez and Katsu is almost the perfect match.
13:27It's almost the perfect dance.
13:29The strong guy who wants to come in and batter,
13:31the classic rapier-like jab to keep him off.
13:35And don't forget, he can bang with the right hand, Gonzalez.
13:38He's knocked out a huge amount of people with that right hand
13:40and left hook to the body.
13:41Fights a lot like Chavez.
13:43Like all Mexican fighters, strong.
13:46Establishes himself.
13:47Yeah, part of what makes this matchup so intriguing is that
13:51they do have contrasting styles.
13:52But in terms of Miguel Angel Gonzalez,
13:55here's a guy who hasn't fought in about 14 months.
13:58It's the longest stretch of inactivity in his career.
14:01405 days to be exact.
14:03How might that impact on his performance?
14:05It might if he was an older fighter, but he's a young fighter.
14:07He's 28, 29 years old.
14:09And beside that, none of this was his fault.
14:12It wasn't like he's injured, he had an operation, he had this.
14:15These were all promotional difficulties in a court of law.
14:18That doesn't mean he wasn't in the gym training.
14:21Kostya Zhu, kind of a fighter that charges out of the corner like a bull.
14:51Jack Bryan happy with myarı.
