00:00Okay, ladies listen, I give you instructions in the locker room. Expect a good clean fight. Listen to my commands at all times. Protect your all signs.
00:07You have to listen to your instructions and learn key.
00:10Escuche me todos my commands, okay?
00:13Right here is going to be good right here. This is going to be good right here. Touch gloves. God bless you both.
00:18David Sullivan, the third person in the ring from San Diego. You got Chris Lieben, Pam Hayashida, and Tiffany Clinton are judges for this one.
00:27Mahali home with a record of 33-2-3. Nine stoppages from Albuquerque, New Mexico, the 43-year-old.
00:34I never thought we'd see her back in the ring, but that's where she's at in the boxing ring where she started her career.
00:41Hall of Famer.
00:43Southpaw throwing a straight coming from Mahali already. You can see Ochoa coming in aggressive.
00:50You know, I've talked to her people and, oh, she switches. That's what she told me as well.
00:55So, you know, they said she's very technical, but this is something that we will see with Holly is that how comfortable she is being in the ring again.
01:08Exactly. It's hard to tell a 12-year hiatus off it. You really don't know.
01:11But still, 37 veterans, so it might come back smooth sailing.
01:14But she is 43 years old, so I'm looking for Vega to bring her youth, bring the pressure, maybe embrace her Mexican heritage, and bring the fight to her, make it a war with Trisha.
01:25I think that might really benefit her against Holly Holm.
01:28Two minute rounds for the women.
01:31And you say 43. Nonito says 42.
01:33And I will tell you about that.
01:35Nonito, you took a couple years break, and it's harder to train when you're in your 40s, right?
01:39But if you have that hunger and the desire, it's a different world.
01:43Now, to me, man, it's the mindset.
01:45The way you take care of your body, the way you take care of your mind, nothing really stops you from accomplishing anything.
01:52You know, for me, I move – I'm outrunning all these young guys, man.
01:56So, you know, age ain't nothing but a number, and I can attest to that.
02:00And I'm pretty sure Holly Holm has the same attitude as you because you know she stays ready.
02:04She stays locked in.
02:06Yesterday at the weigh-in, as Todd Grisham said, the abs have abs.
02:11The six-pack is just all over the place.
02:13Well, one thing I like about Holly right now is she's boxing really well.
02:16She's timing the step back when Ochoa comes forward.
02:22She comes with combination, but that right there is Ochoa's counter.
02:29Yolanda Vega Ochoa is a given name.
02:32We'll say Yolanda Vega.
02:35Good round by Holly Holm, honestly.
02:37Good first round.
02:39Oh, Vega, Vega.
02:40Yeah, it's Vega Ochoa is a given name, but she's like, just go with Vega for me, please.
02:44Got you, Yolanda.
02:44Oh, okay, Vega, Vega.
02:47Yolanda, Yolanda.
02:47I'm just going to say, you know what, Yolanda and Holly.
02:49How about that?
02:50Simple as that.
02:52But that was a good first round from Holly Holm.
02:55She did, her distance management was really good, although she did get countered a couple
03:03times by Yolanda, but Holly did really well in distance managing in that first round.
03:11Good job turning.
03:12She threw that 2-3 that turned right out here.
03:15She kept it in the middle of the ring.
03:16She kept it simple.
03:18Just right down the middle.
03:20Sometimes simple is all you need.
03:21Simple gets a job, darling.
03:22Oh, yeah.
03:23That's why they always say, stick to the basic.
03:34Our last fight here on the Prelimbs.
03:365 o'clock, top of the hour.
03:37You'll need pay-per-view to zone pay-per-view.
03:40Kicking it off with Kid Austin, Floyd Schofield against Tevin Farmer.
03:45Of course, the main event, Jake Paul against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
03:51Holly Holm, the decorated career that she's had.
03:56Trailblazer in many ways.
03:58Ariel Hawani was telling us that she was fighting when the women's boxing wasn't a big deal,
04:02so she feels like she's coming back to it.
04:05MVP signing her.
04:07They were at the press conference a couple months ago here in L.A.
04:10And they also signed Yolanda Vega.
04:12So this is MVP against MVP tonight.
04:15Yeah, someone's got to show up.
04:18Someone's got to say, I'm here.
04:20I'm here for a reason.
04:21I would like to see a little more intensity from Vega.
04:24A little more oomph.
04:26A little more go-getter girl attitude.
04:31Only two men around.
04:32I agree with you 100% with that.
04:34She needs to make the fight happen.
04:36And she needs to not give Holly any space.
04:41Just like that.
04:42You give her a space, she's going to give you a 1-2 jab.
04:451-2-1, 1-2-1, 1-2-1.
04:47Yeah, because I think Holly's doing great.
04:48And I think she's winning this round right now.
04:51I think this is...
04:52If a fight stays like this, I think this benefits Holly.
04:55Holly landed a couple lefts.
04:56Booms out.
04:58And the softball stands for Holly Holm.
05:02Vega needs to take more of an initiative.
05:04She needs to take it to her.
05:06This is also Vega's biggest stage of her career.
05:10She's been fighting in Sonora, Mexico.
05:12And this is her first fight in the United States.
05:15So she went from smaller shows in your backyard, you know everybody,
05:19to press conferences, photo shoots, interviews, fighter meetings.
05:23Everything else is just completely different.
05:25And then, oh, you get a legend in front of you.
05:26Yep.
05:27But you don't realize how fast these two-minute rounds go.
05:29They fly.
05:30They fly.
05:31But Holly's doing really well by keeping that distance.
05:35No, she is.
05:36I'm impressed so far.
05:37I'm really happy with what I'm seeing.
05:39It's been 12 years, Jordan?
05:4012 years.
05:41Doesn't look like it.
05:42Yeah, yeah, no.
05:43I'm really happy with what I'm seeing so far.
05:45She seems active.
05:46She's turning.
05:46Chris punches.
05:48So.
05:52Chris Cyborg.
05:53Chris Cyborg.
05:53She's on the side of Holly Holm's.
05:57Maybe she wants to win her.
05:59Maybe she wants Holly Holm in the ring.
06:02I'm not sure if they fought MMA.
06:03I don't know.
06:04Did they?
06:04Anybody know that?
06:06I don't know.
06:07I don't know either.
06:09I don't know.
06:09No, Nico's like, I only know my fights.
06:13I don't even know my fights.
06:14I just fight.
06:15That's it.
06:16You know?
06:17That's my joy.
06:17Like you said, like you said, Jordan.
06:28Ariel Holm is tapping the shoulder.
06:29They did fight MMA.
06:30They did fight MMA.
06:31So maybe they want to run it back in a rematch in the boxing ring.
06:33Holly Holm and Chris Cyborg.
06:35UFC 219 back in 2017.
06:41And Cyborg defeated Holly Holm.
06:44Unanimous decision.
06:45Like a 2017.
06:47Holly's doing really well.
06:49She is.
06:49Just keeping that distance management of throwing that jab and then setting up with that left straight.
06:55And then stepping back.
06:56I mean, keep it simple.
06:58I like Cyborg.
06:59Boom.
06:592-3.
07:00Boom.
07:00Turn on your right side.
07:01I mean, she's doing great.
07:03Keeping a good space.
07:05Right.
07:05And Yolanda just needs to go in there and just press.
07:09There's no other way of beating when you're a step behind.
07:15You've got to go and make the fight happen.
07:16Time is going.
07:17Rounds.
07:17Two rounds are already gone.
07:18Half of this round is already gone.
07:20Vega needs to put fire.
07:22Needs to put pressure.
07:22Needs to take the initiative.
07:24Hey, if I even get hit once or twice to get in there, so be it.
07:26Like, I need to.
07:27Before you know it, it's going to be round six and you might have lost half the fight.
07:30So, I mean, I think the time for waiting is over.
07:33Well, that's something that Vega told Claudia Trecos yesterday at the weigh-in.
07:36Vega telling Trecos that Holm needed to just retire and get out of the way.
07:42Well, do something about it.
07:44Well, right now, Holm is doing really well.
07:48Holly is boxing really well.
07:50And I think it's a detriment for Yolanda to be switching all the time.
07:56Rather than staying in one spot, one stance and press the fight, you switch.
08:02Unless you are cutting off the ring, then, yes, that could be an advantage.
08:07But from what she's doing right now, you know, she's a step behind Holly Holm.
08:12And she's also stepping up in huge competition against Holly Holm.
08:16She may not have fought in 12 years, but the experience Holly has has been definitely showing off in the first three rounds.
08:22Oh, exactly.
08:2337-fight veteran.
08:24I mean, she's moving great side to side.
08:25Punching and moving left.
08:26She's not staying in one place.
08:28Her movement's been great, too.
08:29She's not being stationary.
08:32And then sometimes she throws the punch and then clinches and smothers for her own defense as well, too.
08:41She's doing really good.
08:41Again, good, distant management and timing for Holly.
08:53Yeah.
08:53As Yolanda comes in, she'll step back.
08:57But at the same time, she'll create those one-two jabs just right down the middle.
09:02Very simple, but effective.
09:04Yeah.
09:04Got the women going on right now.
09:07We got more women's boxing Saturday, July 26th.
09:11Clarissa Shields return for the undisputed heavyweight world title fight against Lonnie Daniels.
09:17That's July 26th.
09:20I bet you there's two very different corner talks happening right now.
09:23Holly Holm's corner fight saying, you're doing great.
09:25Keep doing what you're doing.
09:26Having fun.
09:27If I'm this corner, I'm saying, go get her.
09:30Go get her.
09:30It's round four already.
09:31He could be down 3-0 already.
09:33I mean, the fight's going.
09:35And he's very fast, man.
09:37Yeah.
09:37Vega was on a podcast I was listening to.
09:39Marco Antonio Barrera has un round más.
09:42And Barrera came out flat out.
09:44You know Marco.
09:45He'll tell you exactly.
09:46He said, you don't have the experience.
09:47You haven't been in the ring with somebody like this.
09:49How do you win?
09:50She's like, I just need to stay confident.
09:52I need to stay within myself.
09:53And I need to bring her to the fight.
09:55And Marco just, okay, that's good.
09:57But you're going against somebody.
09:58And right now, we're seeing the separation from Holly Holm.
10:01Well, definitely the experience that Holly Holm is imposing right now.
10:07You know, even the distance management.
10:09Even the feint.
10:09Even the jabs.
10:11I mean, she's in control of this fight.
10:13And there's nothing that Yolanda is doing that derails all of that from changing it to her fight.
10:20But she took 12 years off.
10:22And she's comfortable.
10:23Very comfortable.
10:24And Yolanda's not making her be or even try to make her any little bit of uncomfortable.
10:30Yeah, there's levels to it.
10:32And we're seeing that Holly Holm is elite.
10:35That's why she's the Hall of Famer.
10:37That's why she has all the accolades behind her.
10:39That's why when she was announced that Holly Holm was on the carpet.
10:42Really?
10:42She's back?
10:43Oh, I got to check this out.
10:44I remember training with her back in 2004, I think, with Dawn House.
10:51You know, she was one of those just athletic people, you know, and just have the heart and the desire to fight.
11:00The preacher's daughter, Holly Holm.
11:06Champion in boxing and MMA.
11:09She's doing really well.
11:12She's doing really great, yeah.
11:13For somebody who hasn't been in this ring, I mean, granted that she's been fighting in the MMA, you know, but it's a different sport.
11:19It's a different mindset.
11:21But the way she's fighting right now and the way she's moving, she's just very natural.
11:27Organic.
11:27Yeah, she's doing great with that straight left hand.
11:28One thing I would say, when Vega's an orthodox stance, I would love for Holm to sometimes throw that straight left hand and turn it into a looping left hand.
11:34Just play with it, mix it up, mix it up, come on the side, run the straight, because she's having success.
11:41But, I mean, I think she's done great all four rounds.
11:44I'm not a judge, but I probably, I can see a 4-0 right now, Holly Holm.
11:48You wouldn't be wrong.
11:51She's doing really well.
11:52You know, again, Yolanda, Yolanda just needs to, again, make the fight happen.
11:57Press it.
11:58Press it.
11:59Make Holly uncomfortable.
12:01Make it rough.
12:01Make it tough for her.
12:02Or, you know, that's what she needs to do.
12:05Make Holly Holm work.
12:06Make her work.
12:07Make her dig.
12:08Like, don't, right now, Holly Holm could do this for a 20, 30 round straight.
12:11Yeah.
12:12The way she's doing it.
12:13The way she's making it simple.
12:15The way she's countering with that straight right there.
12:17Another one again and stepping back.
12:19And then moving around.
12:20Yes.
12:21For me, it's the movement.
12:22Being out 12 years, don't care about punch or whatnot and this for that, but, hey, she's doing really well because of that.
12:28You know, like you said, maybe it's the MMA stuff that she needs to get away every single time that's helping her fight.
12:36Yeah.
12:37You know, you never know.
12:37But one thing she's showing right now is somebody who's never left the boxing ring.
12:44Exactly.
12:44Her feet are doing her justice right now.
12:46Her feet are being great.
12:47Multiple time world champion, defended her belt 18 times in three different weight classes.
12:54The ring magazine, fighter of the year in 2005 and 2006.
12:57Holly Holm back to the boxing ring for the first time in 12 years and looking like she never left.
13:05Yolanda now is coming in and being more aggressive and just, you know, just stopped.
13:12Slip.
13:13Not a knockdown.
13:14A push.
13:14In 2008, she became the undisputed welterweight champion.
13:23Everything that she had in the boxing world.
13:25And it was before the time of where the women were really exploding how it is now.
13:32Jake Paul, what a big reason.
13:34The MVP is going to be putting on the Amanda Serrano show coming up soon.
13:38That's an incredible fight.
13:39Yeah.
13:43Getting in and out at home.
13:45Holly's moving really well.
13:47Yep.
13:48It's also a lot to do, Jordan, right?
13:50The lifestyle that fighters live outside of the ring.
13:53Keeping your body and shape and staying in shape and not blown up on weight pays you in dividends.
13:59You know, there's some fighters, no problem if I get away with it, but I believe eventually that will catch up to you.
14:04So, being in shape around taking care of your body, how you leave your lifestyle will make longevity go.
14:09I'm sure that Donair can talk to that himself.
14:11And you're seeing her right now, Holly Holm, right now.
14:13She's looking great.
14:15I'm telling you right now, if she didn't, for 43 years, if she didn't take care of her body for the last 15 years and her MMA career or not, she wouldn't be looking like this at 43 years old.
14:22No, not at all.
14:23She's bouncing on her toes, landing shots, 10 seconds to go in round number five, scheduled for 10.
14:30Our last bout for you here on the prelim show from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
14:34I'm very impressed with Holly right now and the way she's moving around and the way she's countering, the way she's moving, the way she's attacking, the way she's controlling this fight through distance and movement.
14:51Honda Center, the site for tonight's main event, pay-per-view, Jake Paul, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
14:59At 5 o'clock is when it gets going, five fights for you, go to thezone.com to buy that pay-per-view.
15:06You don't want to miss the problem, child.
15:08Jake Paul, take it on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
15:15Over the Anaheim Ducks, the hockey squad, a lot of construction going around, be a big development here in Anaheim.
15:22Maybe this is a tale for Chavez Jr. tonight, similar, and we don't know what to expect so much from her.
15:26I'm like Holly Holm, we didn't know what to expect, but so far I'm impressed.
15:29So maybe that keeps going, Chavez Jr.
15:31We don't know what to expect, maybe more impressed in the main event as well.
15:34Well, the thing that I've seen and heard from what Chavez is saying, he's looking forward for future fights and stuff like that.
15:41And mind you, a few months ago or a year ago or so, he was suicidal, and now he's back, and maybe that changed his whole outlook of life.
15:51Yeah, the demons that Chavez Jr. has talked about, he said he's been sober for a year and a half, he's locked in.
15:57That's what he says, training with Mondo and Charles Worthy at Maywood Boxing in Southern California.
16:04But that's later on the night of the main event.
16:07Right now, it's Holly Holm returning back to the boxing ring, just in control of this fight.
16:12And by the simplicity of her punches that she chooses, it's making it very, very effective to land against someone who just keeps coming forward.
16:22Keeps walking forward with no discrepancies.
16:24With no jabs, with nothing.
16:26No confusion, no feints.
16:27Right.
16:27No mix-up, just nice and easy, the same rhythm coming forward.
16:31And Vega just trying to land anything flush.
16:34She's not.
16:35She's chasing Holly around.
16:37Holly Holm punches and turns, punches and smothers.
16:40And it's kind of like, if we go back to the middle, and again, and again.
16:45Yes.
16:45I like, I really like her movements after each combination.
16:51She moves, but not moving backward, moving laterally.
16:54You know, there's so many.
16:55Discipline.
16:56Very, very disciplined.
16:57Exactly.
16:58You know, there's so many things.
16:59And I fall for that, too, is sometimes I'm stepping back all the time rather than laterally.
17:04You know, I'm learning from this fight right now.
17:06I'm also, I'm always learning, but this is something that I'm seeing that I can definitely implement for my fight.
17:12What are you learning?
17:13Just how she's moving.
17:15She throws those simplicity of the punches that land effectively.
17:18But the way she is backing up, she is backing up with lateral to the side, not backwards.
17:24You know, which is very difficult because you've got to catch up to your opponent.
17:28That's what I'm more impressed about.
17:29Like, she's not going to forget how a punch her in like that.
17:30She's been fighting for so long.
17:33But I'm more impressed with her discipline of the moving, of not just first round and second round.
17:37Round one, two, three, four, five, six.
17:39She hasn't stopped.
17:39She hasn't forgot about it.
17:41It's easy to forget sometimes to do something.
17:42Not to have the ability to do it, but just to forget to do it.
17:45She hasn't done that.
17:46She's been doing it consistently.
17:48And it just speaks a lot to her.
17:52Well, that's why she is where she is in this moment because she is very disciplined, not only in fighting, but I'm sure in lifestyle.
18:01You won't be able to perform if you have a horrible lifestyle.
18:05The way she is right now, she's performing really well.
18:08It doesn't even show of her age or anything like that.
18:10I mean, again, age is nothing but a number.
18:13But ultimately, what she's showing right now is youth, is someone with experience, but mainly someone who's just in control.
18:26That's a great way to put it right there.
18:27In control.
18:29That's what Holly Holm is in right now.
18:33Look at her pacing back and forth.
18:34Looks amped up.
18:36That's how she walked.
18:37I'm sorry.
18:38That's how she ran to the ring.
18:39She didn't do the ring walk.
18:41She ran to the ring, yes.
18:43I mean, the cameraman was trying to run after her.
18:46Lucky they didn't pull a hamstring.
18:49That would be a big sphere.
18:50That's beautiful.
18:51If I was a cameraman running and falling with the camera, that would be a big sphere.
18:55We have a great crew working with us tonight.
18:58That's beautiful movement.
18:59Again, Holly Holm with that jab and just pawing jab, but setting up that straight left.
19:06Keeping her range with the pawing jab, keeping her distance.
19:09It's here, it's here, it's here.
19:10Boom.
19:10Right, and any time that Yolanda steps forward, she gets hit with that straight, and then out
19:16goes Holly.
19:18Holly Holm just goes out right after, which is a very veteran move, but like you said,
19:24it's a good straight left.
19:26She does her work and then gets out of the way.
19:28Yolanda from Ciudad Obregón, Sonora, Mexico.
19:31That's where Ciri Salido's from.
19:33So many great fighters over the years.
19:35Tough area.
19:36You've got to fight your way out there in Sonora.
19:38I remember doing a fight there a couple years ago.
19:40Vega's brother was on the show.
19:42They're all promotions.
19:43My boy, Lucas.
19:44And we're in El Palenque, right?
19:46The market.
19:47Yeah, you've got to fight your way out of there.
19:49And if you're male, female, it doesn't matter.
19:52You have to fight your way out of Sonora, Obregón, Obregón, Sonora.
19:55And Jordan, you know this.
19:57Having come up in different areas, you have to have the fighting spirit.
20:00But when you step up to the next level, it doesn't matter where you're coming from.
20:04If you see a Hall of Famer like Holly Holm, you're in for a rough night.
20:07Oh, yeah.
20:07And you've got to walk right into it.
20:11Just like we were saying.
20:14But that's the thing is that she's finding that position and utilizing that straight as a jab.
20:20She set everything up, but with power.
20:22And she's been very active.
20:24Her cardio, she's in shape.
20:25I mean, I expected Vega to be more active.
20:27At least try.
20:28But Holly Holm's the one to throw him punches and punches and punch here.
20:32Yeah, punches and punches.
20:33Oh, good.
20:33Left again.
20:35Excellent round for Holly Holm.
20:37July 12th, the third Ring Magazine show, headlined by two massive co-main events.
20:55That's right, two co-main events.
20:58Hamza moves up to 168 pounds to take on Berlanga.
21:01The Shakur takes on Camarón Cepeda for the WBC World Lightweight title.
21:07Blockbuster Night of Boxing available to you right now at TheZone.com slash boxing.
21:15That's the thing I'm pressing right now with Holly Holm's cardio.
21:18I know she's boxed before, but it's been 12 years.
21:20The thing with MMA is that you get breaks when you lay on someone.
21:23You have more muscle mass.
21:25You're not bouncing on your feet 24-7 like you are in boxing.
21:27So it's a different type of cardio and whatnot.
21:29But look at her.
21:30She looks fresh, throwing lots of punches, very active in the ring, and not slowing down.
21:35And you've got to pace yourself because it's a five-minute fight, right?
21:39Round.
21:39MMA, yeah.
21:40Five-minute round.
21:42But right now it's two minutes, so everything has to be really fast.
21:44But the way she is, and the way she's setting that straight left, it's just landing automatically.
21:49But because you land and stepping in without anything.
21:52Without any jab.
21:53Without any jab, any feint, trying to counter it coming, something, nothing.
21:56It's just walking right in.
21:58She's not even blocking that shot anymore.
21:58Another left.
21:59That lead left from Holly Holm landing flush.
22:01The right hand from Holm landing flush.
22:03Everything from Holm landing flush.
22:10Very, very impressive.
22:13Biggest smile right there.
22:14I wouldn't be smiling right now.
22:16Holm getting stronger and sharper as the fight progresses.
22:20Second win is kicking in.
22:24And what Holly Holm is doing up.
22:25Oh, good left from Holm again.
22:28Another straight left.
22:30Well, she's doing good, too.
22:31She's not letting Vega settle.
22:33As soon as they separate or whatnot, she doesn't let Vega settle.
22:36Boom, and there's another straight left coming.
22:38And she separates it on here.
22:39And boom, boom.
22:42And then she throws combination right after that, too.
22:44So, you know, she just makes it very difficult for Vega to just come in.
22:48But, again, jabs.
22:51And that's something that we don't see with Vega to come in.
22:53You know?
22:54Yeah, Vega's tough.
22:55She's tough.
22:56But she has no answers.
22:58But Holly right now, although simplicity is the best key, she's landing it very, very effectively.
23:06And then she moves off.
23:07And I like that, too.
23:14You know, it's just a technique.
23:15When she throws that straight, she bumps her body in.
23:18And there's no counter.
23:20And I think the key of her today, she's been being first.
23:23Have you seen Vega be first at all?
23:25Very rarely.
23:25Holly Holm is being first, being first every time.
23:27First one to go.
23:28First, first, first.
23:29Well, she's first, second, and third.
23:31There we go.
23:32Another excellent round for the preacher's daughter, Holly Holm, the Hall of Famer.
23:36Nice.
23:38Left-handed there at the end.
23:43So we head to the ninth round.
23:45Right now, Swansea, thank you to everybody in the production truck.
23:47Doing great work.
23:48My man, Mambo Mike on the replay.
23:50Liz A2, Scott A1, Isaac Perez, the tech director.
23:54Louie, the director.
23:55And, of course, my man, Declan, the producer extraordinaire for us tonight.
23:59Couldn't do it without you guys making it nice and easy.
24:01This is our sixth and final fight here on the prelim show.
24:05At the top of the hour, you've got to go to TheZone.com and buy the pay-per-view for Jake Paul and Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr.
24:13It's all Holly Holm.
24:39We were talking about this in the beginning.
24:41All right, 12 years away from boxing.
24:44She's back.
24:45Why?
24:46Ariel Helani even said it.
24:47She felt like she needed to come back to boxing, come full circle.
24:50My goodness.
24:51I want to see more Holly Holm.
24:53And press to say the least.
24:54I like how Holly executes her punches.
25:01She puts her head out of the zone of getting hit or out of the line.
25:05When she jabs, she leans a little bit to the left.
25:09And then when she throws that straight, she goes to the right.
25:12So, it keeps her head out from being countered with the same punch.
25:17She's throwing punches offline.
25:18Offline.
25:19Yes, exactly.
25:22You know, that's a very old school way of fighting, especially with the jab.
25:25You know, you see a lot of, like, Sugar Robinson kind of fight where she, where he throws jabs like that.
25:31And Holly's doing that.
25:33Really old school ways of throwing the jabs.
25:35I would love to see the copy box numbers after this.
25:39So, I'm just impressed, too, how many punches Holly's throwing as well.
25:42Yeah, no, I'm very, very, you know.
25:46Well, Dan Canovio's over here running around busy for MVP.
25:49So, he's not going to get you any numbers right now, Jordan.
25:51But let me just tell you this.
25:52A lot to a little.
25:54Definitely a lot, man.
25:56This is, this is, this is a work of, of, of a workaholic.
26:00You know.
26:01You can see her.
26:02She's giving her all.
26:02You can just, you can just sense that she's giving her all.
26:04She's moving, she's punching, she's just, she's just there.
26:06She's focused on the rope.
26:07She's throwing punches.
26:08She's giving her all.
26:09And again, Yolanda Vega is coming to the fight.
26:12She's trying to fight.
26:14Like you said, if it's the second round, she's just a step slow.
26:17And Kent has no answers.
26:19Yeah, I think speed.
26:20Yeah, you're right.
26:21I think speed is a big factor here, too.
26:25Good feint.
26:27And good straight left.
26:29Again, over and over and over.
26:30Just, Yolanda just gets hit with that.
26:32And that was great.
26:34Her being first right there.
26:35She's riding the rope.
26:36She's riding the ropes right there.
26:37And Vega was about to go.
26:38And then Holly Holmes said, nope.
26:40Boom.
26:40Straight left.
26:41And smothered her.
26:41Right.
26:45Very veteran move for her.
26:47You know, a lot of, a lot of movies that she does is very veteran-like execution.
26:51You can see she's very, very, very in shape, Holly.
27:11She's thrown as much as she did from power to output.
27:16And here she is.
27:19Still ready to go.
27:27Ladies and gentlemen, this is the final round.
27:31Big Mo, ladies and gentlemen, this is the 10th and final round between Holly Holm and Yolanda Vega.
27:42Coming back to the boxing world, Holly Holm.
27:46They were at the press conference that they held in L.A. a couple months ago.
27:50She was locked in at that moment.
27:52Oh, that straight left is just right on the money every single time.
27:56She hasn't missed with that shot.
27:59Oh, again and again.
28:04Give Vega credit.
28:04She's game.
28:05A lot of heart for Yolanda Vega, but she's outclassed tonight.
28:08Yolanda definitely is just like any Mexican fighter with the biggest heart.
28:13You know, and very tough and relentless.
28:16But she is very outclassed and outmatched against a very veteran in the Hall of Fame and just incredible fighter in Holly Holm after being out of 12 rounds in the square ring.
28:31Doesn't look like she missed a beat at all.
28:35Good shot.
28:36Nice.
28:37She looped that one round instead of being straight.
28:39She looped a little bit.
28:40Yes, she set that up.
28:41Just like pretty much what you said, man.
28:42A little blood from the nose of Holm.
28:44But another solid lead left from Holly Holm.
28:51I mean, after all those shots that Yolanda has taken, she's, you know, you got to give her a lot of credit and respect for showing up.
29:00I'm just impressed, man.
29:02Honestly.
29:03Very, very impressed.
29:05Very impressed.
29:06Just overall thing.
29:07I mean, very textbook, too.
29:09Just the movement, the jabs, the straight.
29:12I mean, very, very impressive.
29:13I've been talking too much this round.
29:15I've been enjoying this round.
29:16Yeah.
29:16It's been a great round for her, too.
29:18Finished a strong 10th round.
29:20Everybody's enjoying this fight.
29:22Except for Team Vega.
29:25Final seconds of Holly Holm's return to the sport of boxing.
29:29It's been 12 years.
29:30Oh, one.
29:31And did not skip a beat.
29:33The preacher's daughter, the Hall of Famer, Ring Magazine.
29:38Wow.
29:39Impressive work from Holly Holm this afternoon in Anaheim.
29:44Incredible comeback and showing up the way she did.
29:48Well, we know in the sport of boxing, for the women's side, there's a lot more money than when Holly left it.
29:56Jake Paul's a big proponent of female fighting.
30:00Putting on big shows.
30:03He signed Holly Holm for a reason.
30:04Well, she definitely showed up tonight.
30:07You know, but you've got to give it up to Yolanda as well, who fought hard, who never stopped trying.
30:13So you've got to give her that credit.
30:14You've got to give her that respect.
30:16But Holly Holm looked fantastic.
30:18Very impressive night for Holly Holm.
30:21Exactly.
30:22I mean, honestly, you could have...
30:24If I'm Holly Holm, I could have asked for a better fight back here.
30:28I think it's 10-zip, 10 rounds to nil.
30:31I looked great.
30:32I mean, what could he ask for?
30:34I think it was a great performance.
30:35I mean, I'm super, super, super happy with Holly Holm and the whole team.

31:33Ladies and gentlemen, another round of applause for these two women closing out our prelim card.
