Transcript

00:00About six rounds, so I'm going over the rules in the dressing room.

00:02I expect you to obey my commands at all times.

00:05Most of all, protect yourself with that time.

00:07Touch close to the line.

00:08So a little background on the name of Terra Moana.

00:11Terra Moana, Terra Moana is his birth name.

00:13For a while, Terra Moana went by his middle name of Samson.

00:17Shortly after his grandfather passed away, he was also named Terra Moana.

00:21He went back to being known as Terra Moana, Terra Moana.

00:25He did keep the connection to Samson, however.

00:27Old Testament readers might know the story of Samson, Book of Judges.

00:31Sergio, I know you're an avid reader.

00:33The legendary warrior who derived his strength from his hair.

00:37He has not cut his hair for the last six years and says he has no plans to,

00:41at least not until he becomes heavyweight champion.

00:45He looks good, man.

00:46He's a big fighter.

00:48Has a wicked jab.

00:49Shotgun jab.

00:50I mean, that's probably the best weapon that he has.

00:53And once he puts that right hand behind it, I mean, that's why he gets all these knockouts.

00:56To look for that jab, it'll, you know, make way for that right hand.

01:00I will say this about Terra Moana.

01:01He does have power, but he does get hit.

01:04He took some shots in his last fight, was able to walk through them.

01:08But if Whitfield can sit down on some of these punches, he's got a chance, a chance to do some damage.

01:13Terra Moana willing to wager that he's going to win those exchanges.

01:17And contrary to the longevity of his hair length, Terra Moana's fights tend to not last that long.

01:26Of course, coming off that first-round TKO victory over James Singh in March of this year here on DAZN.

01:33Looks for that big right hand over the top.

01:35He's going to have to aim that downward quite a bit.

01:37Of course, Aleem Whitfield, six feet tall.

01:40Terra Moana, 6'6".

01:41Now, he's going to end up getting hit by the right hand because Whitfield keeps dipping to his right.

01:46He never dips to his left.

01:47So notice that any time Moana throws that punch, look, he dips to his right.

01:51So Terra Moana's only going to have to punch down to actually hit him on the side of the hand.

01:56Those punches hurt, and they drop you.

01:59You know, Terra Moana, not the deepest amateur background, but he is a former Olympian.

02:12He's got two fights against Bakadir Jalala, the two-time Olympic gold medalist.

02:18And that's a fight that Terra Moana says he wants to get his lick back in the pro ranks.

02:23And Terra Moana landed a right hand, lifted up the feet of Whitfield from the canvas.

02:29That's a powerful, powerful man right there.

02:33Whitfield just not able to get in range with his own right hand.

02:37You can see what the idea is.

02:39It's a dip to his right and try and come back with a counter right hand.

02:42But unfortunately, these long, chopping right hands from Terra Moana are getting there first.

02:48Look, and Whitfield is a big guy right now.

02:50But he began his career in the amateurs as a middleweight.

02:54He made his pro debut at 168 pounds.

02:57So he's not.

02:58Big left hook, and the hammer is out.

03:02Good stoppage.

03:04Good stoppage.

03:04Whitfield is out already.

03:07What a puncher.

03:08Oh, my goodness.

03:10Aleem Whitfield is frozen here in the corner up above us.

03:15That is a frightening knockout.

03:17It's a serious power by Terra Moana, and you can see it even when he misses.

03:22He punches through opponents.

03:24But it was only a matter of time for Whitfield to get hit.

03:28He kept leaning to that same side, that right side.

03:31Terra Moana just chopped him down.

03:33Aleem Whitfield was unconscious but still folded on top of his back leg.

03:43Now looks like they've maneuvered him into a position that is a little safer.

03:48That is a frightening knockout, scary power from Terra Moana.

03:53Eight wins, eight knockouts.

03:55Now, look, the power is real.

03:56But I was impressed with how he set up that power with that jab.

04:00He didn't smother himself.

04:01He landed it right.

04:02He was actually aiming where the head was going to be of Whitfield.

04:05And that's the reason it had that impact that I was talking about.

04:08Whitfield kept dipping to the same side, to the right side.

04:11So Terra Moana just chopped down, and those punches in the side of the head, man, they do damage.

04:25Jesse Bam Rodriguez returns to action on July 19th

04:29when the WBC World Superflyway champ looks to unify the division

04:34as he faces the undefeated WBO belt holder, Fumalela Cafu, in Frisco, Texas.

04:41Medical staff still attending to Aleem Whitfield here in the corner right above us

04:49and now being placed on the stool.

04:52Good to see Aleem Whitfield.

04:56Responsive and communicating.

04:59Another first-round knockout for Terra Moana, Terra Moana.

05:02And I have a feeling, Sergio, that there's going to be a certain caliber of fighters

05:07that Terra Moana, Terra Moana is just going to roll through because of that explosive power.

05:12No, that power's serious, and he's going to fit in right real nicely at 6'6",

05:17and as big as he is because in this new era of heavyweights,

05:21if you're not 6'5", you're going to have a hard time.

05:25And look, Whitfield was outsized, outmanned, outgunned, and nice left hook right there.

05:31But it was a hook that actually had him out in his feet.

05:33It wasn't the right hand.

05:37Just a big puncher.

05:39No matter where you go, look, smart shot right there,

05:42picking him up with that right uppercut,

05:44and then finishing him off with that left hook.

05:47It wasn't even a compact, concise left hook.

05:49That's how powerful this man is.

05:51You can see he opened up his arm,

05:53and normally those don't have that much power,

05:56but when you're this big and that massive, it's doing damage.

06:01Terra Moana, Terra Moana could dance in celebration as he did during his entrance.

06:08Looks like we are ready to make this one official,

06:10so let's set it back up to David Diamante.

06:16Ladies and gentlemen, referee David Fields caused a halt in this contest.

06:19The official time of the stoppage.
