00:00Hey guys, we're already running over to the destruction of the locker room.
00:02Okay, keep it clean. Come out boxing and touch clubs. Here we go. Good luck to you both.
00:09All right, here we go. It is Williams against Nicholson.
00:13Williams in the black with red and white trim.
00:19Nicholson in the black and red trim.
00:25Both guys were getting into it at the presser yesterday.
00:30Now everyone was pretty much in good spirits with their matchup.
00:35These two were the ones that certainly had a little bit of bad blood as Nicholson goes right to the body of Williams.
00:45Now Williams with Team Combat League, and for Team Combat League, you fight in that team concept.
00:50You fight one round, so it's certainly going to be a different test.
00:54I worked one of those cards.
00:57Yeah, it's unique.
00:59Very interesting.
00:59It's a unique concept, but again, it's certainly not the same.
01:05And being out three years, wonder how Williams will adjust back.
01:12Now Nicholson has won seven straight.
01:20Coming off a unanimous decision win over Sergio Jimenez last August.
01:25He has looked good.
01:26And he said that, you know, he's got big goals, wants to fight for a world title, wants big names, wants to fight guys like David Benavidez and David Morrell.
01:39Certainly a possibility with the way his record is, the momentum he's had, but he's cannot overlook Williams.
01:50This is scheduled for 10 as Nicholson as Nicholson goes to the body.
02:02Nicholson with the feint.
02:06Now, triple jab there from Nicholson.
02:13Now, triple jab there from Nicholson.
02:18Back to the body.
02:19Comes over the top with the right hand.
02:22Williams waves them off.
02:33Now, Nicholson, he's strong.
02:35He's stocky and great shape.
02:38Been very active.
02:39This is his sixth fight in about two years, a little over two years.
02:45So, he tries to stay busy.
02:54Good body work there from Nicholson.
03:01Williams is dry.
03:03You know, he's definitely didn't step in the ring warm.
03:09He's not throwing any shots, so he's not really in rhythm right now.
03:16There's a snap out of it and start throwing some shots.
03:23He's waiting for Nicholson to come to helm.
03:27And so far, so good for Nicholson as a right hand just missed for Williams.
03:35He backs away as that round comes too close.
03:57For Nicholson, I mean, he's solid, full control of that opening round, Gabe.
04:16Yeah.
04:17And, you know, Williams did him a favor because he didn't throw any punches.
04:21But, let's see if Williams picks up the pace going into the second round.
04:40Round two on the way here.
04:42Nicholson back to the body.
04:55Williams tries to connect with the left hook.
05:04Now, Williams did come in overweight.
05:07So, that's certainly a factor.
05:08It was about seven pounds over from the contracted weight limit.
05:14They were able to come to an agreement.
05:18As Nicholson ties up with Williams.
05:24Williams tried to time up that uppercut there.
05:31Back to the body.
05:36Nicholson.
05:38Rotating.
05:48Being very patient.
05:51Maybe too patient.
05:53Yeah, you would like to see him open up a little bit more.
05:55Yeah.
05:56I mean, Williams certainly hasn't landed anything significant.
06:01As Nicholson goes to the body.
06:05Williams again shrugs him off.
06:06You know, the jab to the body by Nicholson is landing.
06:14You know, start throwing left hooks off that jab to the body.
06:21Nicholson kind of flinches out.
06:26Double up jab from Nicholson there.
06:29Obviously, Williams doesn't want to fight.
06:36He just wants to counter.
06:38Yep.
06:38So, if Nicholson just kind of picks up the volume, Williams is not going to like that.
06:44Because Williams is just looking for one counter shot.
06:47He's not even trying to be first.
06:49And now Nicholson starting to open up the arsenal a little bit.
06:56Going to the body.
06:58Williams certainly trying to tie up Nicholson.
07:03And Williams looks to his corner saying he's good.
07:05And this is good with what Nicholson is doing.
07:16You know, roughing him up.
07:18Breaking Williams' rhythm.
07:20Because all Williams wants to do is just counter off the outside.
07:23And now Nicholson goes to the body with that left hook.
07:26And now Williams goes down.
07:28And they're still counting it.
07:35Williams felt like he was hit while he was going down.
07:38And I think he's right.
07:39Man, this dude's acting.
07:42That's crazy.
07:43He tried to complain about a low blow.
07:45And that's why he took the knee.
07:47Yep.
07:47He got hit with the right hand.
07:49And then tried to fake it.
07:50And he's looking at his corner saying, I was hit a low blow.
07:53But that was pathetic.
07:56That was pathetic.
07:58That was pathetic.
08:01Let's take a look right here again.
08:02Yeah, he gets hit with, I mean, it's borderline.
08:05It's not that bad.
08:06He complains, takes a knee, gets hit.
08:08Okay, let me win by the squalification.
08:12Get out of here, man.
08:19And, yeah, that body shot from that angle did not look to be low.
08:24No.
08:24It was on the belt line.
08:25It was right there on the belt line.
08:27And then when he took the knee and Nicholson throws the right hand off the top, he doesn't know that the knee's down.
08:33Because, you know, Williams is a tall guy.
08:36So, right here, look.
08:39So, right here, right on the belt line.
08:41Did not look low from that angle.
08:43And then, I mean, you could say that was a little bit late.
08:47Okay, but then, come on.
08:49This is what we're doing.
08:51Come on, this ain't the NBA.
08:53Well, this is why we at least still continue on.
08:56And there's another right hand that Williams got rocked by there.
08:59Had a grab on and Nicholson right away.
09:02There's no flopping in boxing.
09:05Nicholson.
09:06And he got hit with that right.
09:10And now Williams.
09:11Nice body shot.
09:13Backing in the corner.
09:14And Nicholson going to the body of Williams.
09:20Nicholson's starting to step up the aggression.
09:24Because he knows that Williams not trying to engage.
09:28Williams not trying to find a way out.
09:29He keeps looking at the ref complaining.
09:31It's like you're in a fight.
09:32Nicholson throwing the jab out there.
09:41See if he continues to step on it.
09:47Targeting the body of Williams here.
09:52How much time has gone by since Williams throwing a shot?
09:56It's been about a full minute.
09:58Yeah.
09:58So, you know, it's like at some point,
10:02you know, the referee has to give the fighter a warning.
10:06Engage.
10:07If you don't engage, then there has to be like a point deduction or something.
10:14Nicholson to the body now.
10:17Williams is just...
10:18really just covering up and trying to deflect shots right now.
10:25It's very difficult for a fighter, let's say like Nicholson, to...
10:31And now Nicholson opening up, going to the body now.
10:37Connects with the left hook.
10:40Williams keeps telling him to come on, but...
10:42You got to throw.
10:47Yeah, you got to throw.
10:48And there's a straight right from Nicholson as he ties up with Williams here.
11:01There's now Nicholson to the body.
11:04Look, William just knows that he's outgunned, and he doesn't want to exchange with Nicholson.
11:09He's just trying to survive the fight.
11:11He's on survival mode.
11:12He knows that if he trades with Nicholson, then he leaves himself on the board to get caught open.
11:18So he'd rather block these shots.
11:22Take it on the forearm.
11:23Take it on the gloves.
11:24Yep.
11:29Now a body shot from Nicholson as Williams tried to counter with the right hand,
11:33but Nicholson pressing on Williams.
11:37Final 10 here of the round.
11:49Overhand right just missed, and Williams keeps looking to the crowd, and...
11:54It's weird.
11:55It's weird.
12:07I mean, you can see Nicholson's working.
12:16He's trying as he landed that right, partially blocked again, though, but going to the body.
12:21This little counter from Williams.
12:23But, you know, for Nicholson, it's difficult to look good when you got a guy that's not fighting back.
12:29And then when you got a guy that's on survival mode, and he's just on defense,
12:35it's really hard to look good against a guy like that.
12:37I mean, you can see Nicholson's trying to go in and trying to finish Williams.
12:59Round four.
13:00Triple jab there from Nicholson, backing Williams up a bit.
13:11Now that right hand connects, and now that puts down Williams.
13:15Takes a quick knee, and now smiling.
13:21And Williams just spit out his mouthpiece on purpose.
13:23And he just did not want to fight.
13:29Wow.
13:31It's crazy.
13:36That was horrible.
13:37Yeah.
13:38I mean, just straight up, that was horrible.
13:40Yeah, that was bad.
13:42That was...
13:43I'm here to collect the check.
13:47Yeah, for sure, man.
13:48That was bad.
13:49I mean, he looked at the ref and straight up smiled.
13:57Yeah.
13:57And then just spit out his mouthpiece.
13:59Yeah, spit his mouthpiece out.
14:00He was like, I'm good.
14:04So he must have just come in, and, you know, as long as I don't take too much damage, I know what my game plan is.
14:10And, you know, there aren't fighters like that.
14:15Yeah.
14:15And, you know, you feel bad for Nicholson because he wanted to fight.
14:20Yeah.
14:21I think it was that straight right hand to the gut.
14:23But, you know, it wasn't that crazy.
14:26But, you know, there he goes.
14:27He throws the mouthpiece out, and he's ready to go.
14:32All right.
14:33Let's set it up to Lupe Contreras for the official time of the stoppage.
14:36Ladies and gentlemen, inside the GCC ring, referee Jacob B. reaches the count of ten.
14:42With an official time of 27 seconds of round number four, declaring the winner, by way of knockout, the equalizer, Dion Nicholson.
