00:00Connor!
00:06Okay, fellas, I spoke to you both from the change rooms.
00:08Want a good, clean fight. Protect yourselves at all times.
00:11Obey my commands at all times. Touch them up. Good luck to both of you.
00:17So the Irish fans swell behind their man.
00:20Connor Wallace on another big night for the Brisbane-based light heavyweight.
00:28Up against the Frenchman, Dylan Collin.
00:34And they march out to meet each other at centre ring.
00:39Collin is tough, we know that.
00:43Only beaten at the top level, but Wallace on the verge of some very, very big things.
00:50They hope that an interim world title fight is next for him
00:54if he can get through here against Collin.
00:58So, plenty of pressure, but plenty of support as always for Connor Wallace.
01:04Well, Connor Wallace has rightfully worked his way up to number two in the world,
01:09so he's right there at the top of the league with all the top guns.
01:12And all he has to do here is go through the motions and deliver a spiteful performance
01:17the way he says he's going to do.
01:21So this is an eight-round fight.
01:23Our co-main event.
01:25Opatire and Squayo is next.
01:31And the big, rangy southpaw Wallace just shuffling towards Dylan Collin, the Frenchman,
01:38in the early stages of this fight.
01:41Yeah, just having a look, collecting data, not forcing the action too much,
01:45but it will light up soon.
01:47Nice little left hand there from Wallace as well.
01:50Collin just trying to counter in between the shots.
01:53Colus' family position just behind us here amongst the Green Army.
02:08Just urging Connor to throw something, but he has to be cautious and have a look.
02:13Both guys, high pedigree.
02:18Wide eyes, Collin, he's having a real good look at Wallace,
02:23and then he tries to throw out his own lead right hand against the southpaw.
02:30But Wallace has that reach advantage, and he was well away from him
02:34as Collin again charges at him, but finds the target just too far for him at this stage
02:41as Wallace throws a left hand.
02:44Yeah, Wallace has great footwork, he knows his way around the ring,
02:47great ring generalship, and now at the moment just collecting data,
02:50looking, making sure that nothing too crazy is out there
02:53before he does the major attacks.
02:56Saw an opportunity for a left hook there to Collin,
03:00but couldn't quite find Wallace.
03:05And it is Wallace on that long jab here at his significant range.
03:10Yeah, he boxes well from a distance, but also likes to engage when the time comes.
03:22And that is Collin reaching out with the right hands.
03:27Yeah, just landed a right hand there.
03:29Didn't really do any damage, but landed all the same.
03:35He's getting all around the world.
03:45Yeah!
03:48the ultimate feeling out round
04:17the opener between Wallace
04:19and Colin and Greg Edie in the corner
04:22just giving instructions
04:23to the big rangy light heavyweight
04:26Connor Wallace
04:27ranked number two in the world
04:29he's had
04:31hand issues and other injuries
04:33in recent times
04:35but he's healthy
04:37and has been so
04:39in this camp
04:40yeah that was the ultimate feeling out round
04:45you know Connor Wallace now
04:47has to go through the gears and just
04:49show his levels here
04:50wide-eyed
04:55Dylan Collin just keeping his eye
04:58on the shoulders looking for the twitchers
04:59yeah he really is
05:01having a good look at Wallace
05:03and he reaches out with that right hand
05:06tries to do so again
05:09he's really punching to the chest of Wallace
05:11when he gets the opportunity is Colin
05:12Connor Wallace got to just keep sticking the jab out
05:19Colin looks like
05:21Dylan Collin looks like he's just using the right hand as his range finder sometimes
05:25fending away with that jab hand is Colin
05:32yeah really throwing it and then he tries to find that right hand
05:36he knows that's his shot against the southpaw by the looks of things
05:40but
05:40it is a long way between where he stands
05:44and where Connor Wallace is given that
05:46reach advantage
05:48for the Irish Australian

06:41reaching to the body is the Frenchman
06:44and again

06:49yeah Connor not using this jab as effectively as he normally does
06:57he's got to use that to set everything up
06:59with his nice straight left that he normally pulls out
07:01oh the first inside work from both guys
07:04yeah they came together awkwardly
07:06but the heads did not clash as they might have

08:25with his trainer now ready to get back into action they're just struggling to see what's in front of
08:32them at the moment these they are that they're jockeying for position and when you said a couple
08:35of rounds down you mean you know you didn't mean a couple of hours down on point you mean a couple
08:38of rounds over yes okay good good man I did well I believe so I I'm not scoring but what have you

09:26out he just can't find him with that right hand he's persistent though he knows that's the shot yeah
09:31he goes to one there but Colin's I'm sorry but um Connor Wallace has got good feet knows how to move in
09:39and out of range really well really quickly makes it difficult for Dylan Colin to attack effectively but
09:50both guys just looking to get faint and get the other one to commit themselves so they can counter punch
09:56and make some um that makes them dance a lot of fainting here in this third round a lot of fainting
10:04Wallace reaches out with the left hands and again jabbing here is Wallace both guys laser focused

12:07pressing forward there to try and catch some action what do you want to see from Connor Wallace as we
12:11continue on in this fight and he takes instructions from his team I want to see him double his jab move
12:17forward and then if he's going to use the counter punch do it with the left uppercut which he does so so
12:21well it's a great counter and Dylan Collins is dipping his head forward it would work really really well
