00:00here we go the fight the boxing world has been a buzz about four months is
00:21about to happen 24 year old Brian Norman jr. set the take on Jin Sasaki for the
00:28WBO welterweight title big left and right off the bat from Sasaki good jab to the
00:38stomach by Sasaki Saki coming up fast here in the opening round sharp jab by
00:50Brian Norman jr. for Norman jr. is just just clean technique everything he does
00:58is exactly the way somebody should hands pop right back to the defense right hand
01:04a left hook is they scoring that a knockdown I believe so a left hook landed
01:08from Brian Norman jr. here in the opening round so fast for those hands there's a
01:17champion Brian Norman jr. so clean and so crisp
01:20Sasaki doesn't look too rattled a little surprised I don't know how rattled he looks
01:27I've heard he looks backing off the rope so a more aggressive Norman stalking Sasaki
01:34combinations to the head right hand by Norman left right combination and down goes Sasaki for a second
01:41time huge combination by Norman and for Norman once he smells blood in the water he becomes
01:49all the more dangerous he has so many weapons at his disposal when he's trying to finish off a fight
01:55here that's two knockdowns early for Brian Norman jr. huge hole for Sasaki to climb out of overhead misses from Sasaki
02:09Norman cleaning up with combinations big left by Sasaki another left by Sasaki hooked to the body by Sasaki

03:34the hands of the champion Brian Norman jr here's the first knockdown oh so fast the top of the head
03:42more of an equilibrium shot but still you barely saw it thrown or landed but so fast and powerful is Brian
03:52Norman jr there's the second knockdown the hand speed on display from the champ in that first round it's it's clear there's a difference the power's still there coming from Sasaki but yeah but if Norman's gonna beat him to the spot all night yeah Sasaki's gonna have to really string some punches together and get Norman on the back
04:10foot yeah at least get Norman off of him yeah starters let's see how round two unfolds live from the Odo City general gymnasium in Tokyo Japan round two of the WBL Walter

07:42that was a big shot that the champion landed early on
07:46had him wobbling but didn't go down didn't have our third knockdown of the fight yet
07:50it's the end of the round Sasaki started to open up more and more
07:56out of necessity but also

08:01all gas no breaks
08:04Japanese challenger
08:06got to love how game Sasaki is taking those shots yeah big smile on his face

10:26big right hand over the top
10:29by the champion

10:35left hook behind it
10:36right hand up top
10:41champ is really putting through the paces here
10:43showing his world-class level
10:46and a right straight down the middle
10:48staggers Sasaki back
10:50a right hand
10:51sweeping right hand connects to
10:53to the chin of Sasaki

10:57barely breaking a sweat
10:58pop
10:59cool selected
11:01right hand over the top
11:02by Sasaki
11:03but what's left on those shots
11:04considering the damage
11:06he sustained already
11:07Norman seemingly happy to just stand
11:13and take whatever Sasaki has
11:15and then trade back
11:16huge right hand
11:19sweeping past the guard of Sasaki
11:21another clubbing right
11:23and a clubbing left
11:24left hand at the bell
11:25and that was a one-sided round
11:30almost a 10-8 round without a knockdown
11:32just a clinic from the champion
11:34he's got such clean fundamentals
11:36even when he takes a shot
11:38like that
11:39he can answer
11:41and just not
11:44opening himself up to too much
11:47Sasaki's game don't get me wrong
11:49and throwing these big sweeping shots
11:51but for the most part
11:54not too much coming through the defenses of the champion
11:56and
11:58as we had mentioned before during the exchange
12:00just no change in the body language
12:02he doesn't get ahead of himself
12:03stays calm and cool
12:05he knows that he hasn't hurt
12:07he knows that the advantage lies with him
12:10he had the early knockdown
12:12likely a 10-7 round in round one
12:14with the two knockdowns
12:1610-9's ever since
12:18that could have been 10-8 that last round
12:20it was so one-sided
12:23down four
12:24under way here in Tokyo Japan
12:26Brian Norman Jr. in the red and white
12:29looking to defend his WVL waltroway title
12:32it's a very game but so far outgun Jim Sasaki
12:35Sasaki down twice in the first
12:37beaten badly in the third
12:39and Norman going about his job
12:42in the words of Howard Cosell
12:44with Sasaki the left and right on top
12:48but Norman just so strong absorbing everything
12:51Sasaki throwing these big left hooks
12:55and for the most part
12:56when Norman Jr. throws that right hand
12:59comes right back
13:01to soften the blow from those big lefts
13:03that are coming from Sasaki
13:05back to Sasaki
13:08back to Sasaki
13:09he's as game as he was
13:10in the opening bell
13:11he's tough
13:12absolutely
13:13taking some huge shots
13:15taking some huge right hands
13:16those clubbing right hands
13:17are so impactful
13:18it's unbelievable
13:19at the hands of Norman
13:21just like
13:22through the side
13:23with all the force imaginable
13:25from Norman another huge right hand
13:35those rights are just money
13:37and they're doing so much damage
13:39they're not straight down the middle
13:41they're around the guard
13:42and they are landing
13:43almost at will
13:45imposing himself
13:51on Jim Sasaki
13:53here in round four
14:00the champ just really showing his class here
14:03Sasaki
14:05showing the heart that has
14:08urged him this reputation that we all know him by now
14:12unbelievable
14:13an absolute gamer
14:14yeah unbelievable heart by Sasaki
14:16right hand
14:17that power in both hands from Norman
14:20and some of the punishment that he took
14:22especially in that last round in the third
14:25and to come out the way he has here in the fourth
14:27not going anywhere
14:28staying right in front of him
14:29throwing big shots
14:31trying to will himself back into this fight
14:33Sasaki's got to do something
14:35huge
14:36quickly
14:37to step the tide in this fight
14:39bodywork
14:40by Norman
14:44Sasaki crowding Norman along the ropes
14:46not quite sure if that's a great move
14:48but
14:49you got to take what's given
14:55bodywork by Norman
14:56right hand over the top by Sasaki
14:59good work by Sasaki
15:00although he's paying for that
15:01that work left hand over the top
15:03by Sasaki as well
15:05heads came together
15:08referee Gustavo Tomas
15:10warning Sasaki about that
15:16jabs from both fighters in the middle of the ring
15:22loving right hand again by Norman
15:24and another one at the bell
15:26credit to Sasaki that could have been his best round of the fight
15:28absolutely
15:29but I don't think enough to win on the scorecards
15:31but
15:32he had his moments
15:34with Norman against the ropes
15:35couple of those big left hands maybe snuck around
15:38but
15:39for the most part it was
15:40just business as usual for Brian Norman Jr.
15:44that right hand around the guard has been there the entire fight
15:47his accuracy has just been on point tonight
15:51everything seems to be finding the target
15:54or at least a partial one
15:55he's able to mix up his shots so well
15:58uppercuts, hooks, straights
15:59yeah
16:00even just those big looping shots too
16:02overhand rights
16:04yeah those aren't actually no punches

16:10up against the ropes
16:12he's able to find
16:13the short shots
16:15just such a versatile attack coming
16:20from the champion
16:21Sasaki seems to be able to find the short shots
16:24Sasaki seems to be shaking off those
16:28first round cobwebs
16:29getting knocked down twice

16:31taking some hard shots since

18:19the finishing shot
18:20about as
18:21clean
18:22as
18:23you can imagine
18:24clean and powerful
18:34like we had mentioned from Norman just
18:38never over exerted himself
18:40stayed with his game plan even when he had him hurt in the first round
18:43didn't overextend
18:46didn't give himself
18:50didn't leave himself open to any
18:52any of the attack from the very game Jin Sasaki
19:00certainly wasn't easy despite maybe the champ making it
19:02making it look easy or seem easy it certainly wasn't
19:05he kept his composure throughout the entire process
19:13quite weak
19:14weigh in
19:16even during the fight itself calm cool and collected measured
19:20and very calculating with his power
19:24well Sasaki is up
19:26on the stool I believe in the corner
19:28so that is good news
19:30nope
19:31oh no they're clearing him out
19:33geez
19:35but he is alert
19:39he's moving
19:42not the way he envisioned this night ended
19:52hope that he's okay
19:57the fact that they're moving him
20:00so soon is probably a good sign
20:02anyways
20:04ladies and gentlemen we have the time of 46 seconds
20:07in round number five
20:09he is the winner by way of knockout
20:12and still

20:18the assassin
20:20Brian
20:22Norman

20:26and still
20:27and still
20:28emphatically
20:30the WBO welterweight champion Brian
20:32Norman Jr.
20:34ending what was mostly a one-sided fight
20:36with a highlight reel knockout
20:39of challenger Jin Sasaki
20:46just a clinical approach from the champ
20:49right from the very beginning
20:51calm under pressure even when he had him hurt early
20:53just kind of stuck to the fundamentals and knew that his open
