00:00Mouthpiece. Let's go with Mouthpiece.
00:08Look at it. This is still good right here. Nothing below here.
00:11This is still good here. Nothing below there.
00:14You want to touch gloves? Do it now.
00:16God bless.
00:22Alright. The main event is here. The wait is over.
00:27The bronze bomber is back.
00:30As he takes on Herndon. Herndon in the orange trunks.
00:38Wilder in the black and gold. Gabe.
00:42Does Wilder still have it? We're going to find out.
00:52And now Wilder opens up. Wide stance.
00:56Yes. Herndon said, you know, he studied the Joseph Parker fight.
01:03That's the fight Parker won in 2023.
01:06Was able to outpoint Deontay.
01:08Get the decision.
01:10Feels like he can really emulate that style.
01:14Said movement certainly is going to be key.
01:26Wilder.
01:26Man, Wilder looks like he put some size on him.
01:34Big frame.
01:35Starting off with a nice, nice jab.
01:39Well, he added muscle, Gabe.
01:41I mean, he's typically...
01:42We've seen him walk into heavyweight fights 210, 215.
01:46And in this fight, he weighed in at 225.
01:51Yeah, you know, and I think Wilder's just a lot better putting on size.
01:59Herndon obviously has to avoid the right hand.
02:02He's got to be very careful.
02:07He's seen it so many times in the past.
02:11All it takes is one little slip up.
02:16And I like how Wilder's cutting that ring off on him, too.
02:20Whoever Herndon's moving, Wilder cuts him off
02:22and follows him with that jab.
02:25Now, Herndon, he's been in the ring with the likes of, you know,
02:35Richard Torres, Jr., F.A. at Jogba.
02:40So he's been in there with some talented guys.
02:42That was another right hand.
02:43He had the first real right hand thrown by Wilder,
02:47but Herndon was able to get out the way and avoid that one.
02:55But the head movement certainly is going to be key.
03:00All the movement is going to be key for Herndon.
03:04Now, besides movement, Gabe,
03:07does Herndon have the power to hurt Wilder?
03:10Well, you know, at the heavyweight division, anyone can be hurt.
03:14You know, these are big guys, 200-plus pounds.
03:17So any shot can get you.
03:19And we saw Buster Douglas was in the corner of Herndon.
03:29Now, so far, I like how Deontay's starting off this round.
03:32Like I said, sticking to that jab, keeping his distance,
03:36not really loading up on the right hand,
03:39just letting it go a few times,
03:42setting the tone for the fight.
03:44Final 10 here of the opening round.
03:47Herndon tried to throw a looping right hand.
03:50Just missed as round one comes to a close.
03:53All right.
04:17All right.
04:19All right, round two, ready to go.
04:46Jeffrey Mays, head trainer for Herndon.
04:49Don House, first fight, he's the head trainer for Deontay Wilder.
04:56Wilder comes in quickly to establish the jab there.
04:59And I like that, that's the flicking jab, you know, just putting it out there.
05:05Wants to do just enough to give Herndon something to think about.
05:13Wilder.
05:14Utilizing that jab, certainly has the reach advantage on Herndon.
05:23Herndon's going to have to find a way to get on the inside, continue to move.
05:28This certainly doesn't want to be a stationary object there as Wilder immediately threw the right hand.
05:34And Herndon was able to avoid it, but it was close.
05:39Wilder did get that left hook in, though.
05:47Wilder, obviously, has always been in great shape, but he uses the right hand, back's Herndon up a bit.
05:54Herndon trying to now get Wilder on his back foot.
06:10Wilder continues to float the jab out there.
06:12You know, for Herndon to be successful, he needs to slip and weave his way inside and throw off that movement.
06:22For him to be straight up like this right now, he's not going to be able to get shots in with Wilder.
06:27No, absolutely not.
06:28And, you know, after alluding to the Joseph Parker fight, but, you know, I watched that fight.
06:33Parker was not only moving, he was throwing.
06:36He was getting in and out.
06:38Yes.
06:38And he was giving Wilder something to think about, a huge looping right hand as Herndon gets out of harm's way.
06:48So right now, Herndon's doing a good job at avoiding the right hand, but he's got to, as you mentioned, loop in and out and try to get some offense going.
06:56And that jab, that long jab by Wilder is really in the way for Herndon.
07:04He can't figure it out yet.
07:06It's a nice double jab right there.
07:08Nice and simple.
07:12Wilder connecting with that jab.
07:16Good tool so far for Wilder.
07:18And we've seen him use the jab before in other fights.
07:20Something that he does have in his arsenal, that left hook.
07:24Nice check hook.
07:28Puts him down, and Herndon looks at referee Ray Corona, saying that that was a slip.
07:34That was not a knockdown.
07:35Very frustrated.
07:37It was a balance shot, but he did get hit with the check hook.
07:42But it didn't appear to affect Herndon in a negative way.
07:45Just negative on the scorecards.
07:50Now Wilder upping it up as we reach the bell.
07:57And Herndon, looking at his corner right now, is to say, you know, was that a knockdown?
08:02Because he didn't believe so.
08:15Right here, Gabe.
08:16Let's see.
08:16Let's see.
08:20No, that's not it right there.
08:21There's the left hook.
08:23You know, it's a cupping shot, but it still was shot.
08:26Yep.
08:28Yeah, he was knocked down by the punch.
08:32Yeah.
08:34Referee Ray Corona just came over to us, say he saw the hook, saw him go down, checked with the commission, and they were counting.
08:42So, that's a knockdown.
08:50Not all knockdowns are the same, Gabe.
08:52I mean, you know that.
08:53I mean, it's good on the scorecards, and Deontay coming out very aggressive to start round three.
09:01You know, I like Deontay's approach.
09:06You know, he's establishing the jab.
09:09He's standing firm on his shots.
09:11He's looking good.
09:12He looks determined.
09:19It's been a peaceful mindset all week as that left hook connects there, and now another stiff jab.
09:26And you know, one thing Deontay's doing is he's sitting on that jab.
09:29Every now and then, he just pops it out there.
09:32It's a range finder, but then he'll change it, and he'll sit on the shot and make it a power jab.
09:36Another solid jab there from Wilder.
09:44He's looked good.
09:46He's looked sharp.
09:47Yeah, it's very difficult to defend a jab when it's coming from different speeds, and the power's different.
09:56Herndon's still very much in this fight.
10:01Not backing down.
10:02A huge looping right hand again.
10:07Herndon got out the way there.
10:09But the thing is that Herndon has to throw off of those slips.
10:13That's the only way he's going to be successful, is if when he slips, it makes Deontay miss.
10:19He has to then fire.
10:21There's a good double jab there from Herndon.
10:23See, right here, Deontay's too tall, too long for Herndon to be able to land anything.
10:30So you have to throw off the slips.
10:32Herndon utilizing the head movement there.
10:39Wow.
10:40Another jab there.
10:41Uppercut just missed there.
10:43Good head movement right there by Herndon.
10:45Certainly, and he's going to have to be doing that the entire fight.
10:48But again, Deontay with a solid jab.
10:55Continues to float it out there.
10:58Whoa.
11:01Herndon just got underneath that right hand of Wilder.
11:04And you know, Herndon, he has good eyes because he's slipping.
11:07He's avoiding these big shots.
11:09But you've got to make your guy miss, and you've got to make him pay.
11:15Yeah, right now, Wilder does not respect the offense of Herndon.
11:19No.
11:19You've got to get that respect.
11:20There's no offense coming from Herndon right now.
11:23It's all defense.
11:24Wilder keeps that right hand locked and loaded.
11:34Herndon comes in just enough.
11:38But again, the left hook from Wilder.
11:45Wilder with the jab again.
11:50That's a nice hook right there.
11:52Short little left hook from Wilder as he ties up with Herndon.
11:57And that's the end of the round.
11:58Wilder with the jab again.
12:28How would you assess Wilder so far, Gabe?
12:46I mean, he's looking sharp.
12:48He's utilizing that left hook, the jab.
12:52Hasn't landed the big right hand yet, but still.
12:55Look, I like what he's doing because he's being patient.
12:58He's not forcing the issue.
13:00He's not diving in to land that big right hand and falling off balance.
13:04He's staying disciplined, so a nice, strong jab.
13:08And the thing is, you've got to understand that Herndon is not really cooperating.
13:12He's not throwing anything back, but then Wilder can hit him with a clean shot.
13:16Now Wilder's trying to close the distance here.
13:19It's very difficult to land big shots on a guy that is being defensive-minded, and that's what Herndon is doing.
13:27Right there again, Wilder tried to load up on that right hand, and Herndon was able to stick a move, get out of the way.
13:32But just, again, not letting the hands go that much.
13:41And Herndon landed a nice jab right there.
13:46That's a nice chuck hook right there by Wilder.
13:49Followed it up right with the jab.
13:51So Wilder, he's active.
13:53You've seen some Wilder fights where he won't throw a punch for several rounds.
14:02That's not the case here.
14:04And, you know, the length could also be an issue for Herndon.
14:08Not only the power, but Wilder is significantly bigger.
14:12Absolutely.
14:12That's what's giving Herndon a lot of trouble.
14:15He can't figure out how to get through.
14:21And Wilder's keeping that jab very busy.
14:25Yeah, he certainly is.
14:26He's continuing to stick it in the face of Herndon.
14:29Now Herndon tries to close the distance, but the ball there ties him up and resets.
14:42And a left hook.
14:43Partially connected for Herndon.
14:46And now Herndon coming forward.
14:49And that hook worked for Herndon because he slipped and fired.
14:52And that's more of what Herndon needs to do.
15:00Wilder right there.
15:03Continues to pat that jab out there.
15:10Unilizing that left hook.
15:12Wilder's going to have to start doubling that jab because he's just pawing that jab and Herndon can counter off the top.
15:18He has to double that jab.
15:19Stop the counter from coming.
15:23And now Herndon presses forward.
15:25Ties up with Wilder.
15:33Another jab by Wilder.
15:3820 seconds here of round four.
15:40This is a 10-round heavyweight bout.
15:42Our main event.
15:45As Wilder unloads that left hook.
15:50And it was able to catch Herndon there.
15:55I think Herndon's a little bit off balance there.
15:57And Wilder now presses forward.
16:01And just at the nick of time, the bell ends the round.
16:07For Herndon, if I'm in Herndon's corner, you know, I'm telling Herndon to slip shots and fire off the slips.
16:23There's a lot of times that he's slipping, slipping, but he's getting away.
16:26You've got to make your guy miss and make him pay.
16:29And that's the thing.
16:30It's only half the battle.
16:31You know, he's slipping.
16:33Yeah.
16:34And so it's like, okay, I didn't get hit.
16:36Yeah, exactly.
16:37But you almost kind of have to realize, I've got to win the fight, too.
16:41For sure.
16:41And I've got to score.
16:42Yep.
16:43And that's the part that Herndon is forgetting.
16:47And, you know, as we take a look right here, Gabe, this is what you're talking about.
16:53Yeah, right there you slip it.
16:55Where's the shot?
16:56So right there he tried it.
16:58But, you know, you're making Wilder miss.
17:01You've got to fire.
17:05And you've got to give Wilder something to think about.
17:08You've got to try to get him on.
17:09I'll find a way to get him on his back foot and make him think.
17:14Because if he's allowed to just stand there and try to time you up, eventually he will catch you.
17:22Left hook connects for Wilder.
17:24I mean, Wilder's doing a good job in this fight of showing that, you know, he's not just a one-trick pony.
17:33He's not just the right hand.
17:34Yeah.
17:35He's using the jab, check hook.
17:37And now that right hand again presses on Herndon.
17:39And then a shot on the break.
17:44Herndon kind of laughs it off.
17:50Wilder kind of paws at him with the left.
17:56And that right hand back's Herndon up.
17:57I think Wilder's getting closer and closer, dude.
17:59And the thing is, I like when Wilder's throwing that right hand on balance, and he's not diving in.
18:11There's that check left hook again.
18:14The left hook did some damage in the last round.
18:17Caught Herndon on the chin.
18:20Oh, nice.
18:22Nice sneaky short right uppercut by Wilder.
18:25Wilder has that in his toolbox.
18:27We've seen that throughout the years.
18:30And now a big right hand just missed Herndon there.
18:35And now Herndon trying to be the aggressor.
18:38I think a shot that'll work for Wilder is if he starts throwing the right hook to the body.
18:46Every time Wilder's throwing the right hand, he's throwing the right hand up top.
18:51So Herndon knows where that shot's coming.
18:54But if you could trick him and come throw the right hook to the body, give him something else to think about.
18:59And Herndon utilizing the jab.
19:05Right hand backs Herndon up a bit.
19:10Good double jab there from Wilder.
19:13Mixing in the shots.
19:14Not seeing as much movement from Herndon as we did earlier in the fight.
19:26Deontay just with that right hand back.
19:43See right here when Wilder's pressing Herndon to the rope.
19:48Throw that right hook to the body.
19:50That right hook to the body would then open up the left hook up top.
19:54Good right hand from Herndon there.
19:56Now rips into the body of Wilder.
19:57And Herndon just kind of spawned a while.
20:01And now Wilder has Herndon trapped in the corner, but tied him up.
20:09That's the end of the round.
20:10But things getting a little bit testy there towards the end of that one.
20:26Right here.
20:28Some of the highlights from the round as Wilder trying to sneak in the uppercut there.
20:35That was good body work from Herndon, even though he kind of spun out of that in a wild way.
20:48Halfway through our main event.
20:51Some blood coming from the nose of Herndon.
20:52Gabe, how are you seeing this so far on the scorecards?
20:56I think Wilder so far is winning every round.
21:00You know, with the jab alone, the right hand's really not landing flush yet.
21:05But he's getting there.
21:08It certainly seems like Wilder's getting closer and closer.
21:12The movement's becoming less and less with Herndon.
21:16And that's one thing he's got to be conscious of.
21:18Because you cannot stop moving against the bronze bomber.
21:24And you know, I think in order for that straight right hand.
21:26See, that's what I like.
21:28He switched it up.
21:29A left hook to the body.
21:30And start throwing different punches where then you can set up that big straight right hand.
21:37That was a good left hook to the body there.
21:40That's what you've been calling for.
21:43As Wilder now, that right hand wasn't full power.
21:47But certainly caught Herndon as Herndon now kind of slipped down.
21:55More of a shove, according to Ray Corona.
21:58But he's telling them, you know, don't put your head down.
22:00Herndon's breaking down, though.
22:02He got up really slow.
22:05Yeah, the legs are certainly starting to go.
22:07And Wilder locked and loaded, trying to utilize that right hand.
22:15And Herndon, again, continues to duck underneath to tie up Wilder.
22:22And that right hand got through the defense.
22:26Herndon's got to be careful.
22:27There's the right hand.
22:31And now Wilder's got Herndon in trouble.
22:42There's a stiff jab there.
22:45And Herndon's got to find some answers quickly.
22:49Wilder got to get it back to that jab.
22:51Get back to the jab.
22:53Get back to the jab.
22:55And let that set up the big right hand.
22:58Nice.
22:59There's that right hand.
23:01You know, it's partially blocked by Herndon.
23:06And now Herndon was tied up with Wilder a bit.
23:11Ray Corona letting him fight out of it.
23:14And there's that looping right hand.
23:16Herndon just ducked out of the way.
23:19And now Herndon put his glove on the mat.
23:23So that counts as a knockdown.
23:27And Herndon back to his feet at the eight count.
23:34Wilder, you can see, he senses it.
23:37He's getting closer.
23:44Oh, my goodness.
23:45And there's that left hook.
23:46Caught Herndon.
23:48Herndon holding on to the left glove.
23:50Glove.
23:53And there's that straight right by Wilder.
23:58And I like the Wilder staying composed.
24:00He's picking smart shots.
24:02Landon clean.
24:03And there's the right hand there.
24:05Caught Herndon.
24:06Final 10.
24:12And Herndon thrown to the ground.
24:16Able to survive.
24:18But, Gabe, you starting to see the legs are going from Herndon.
24:24It's a lot, man.
24:29You got a big guy like Wilder on top of you.
24:31Throwing big shots.
24:33Leaning on you.
24:34Putting that weight on you.
24:35He's breaking, hurting down.
24:37And you can start to see the exhaustion setting in with Herndon.
24:47It sounds easy when you talk about a guy like Wilder where you're like,
24:51I just got to avoid the right hand.
24:53And if I keep the movement, you know, I can pull this off.
24:57Yeah.
24:58But see, what Wilder's doing is he's staying composed.
25:01He's being aggressive, but he's not going crazy.
25:04He's picking his shots wisely, right hand.
25:07Slipping.
25:08Throwing that big power jab.
25:14There's that left hook.
25:17And there was a moment you could just see it's wearing on Herndon.
25:26And Wilder just needs to stick to that jab.
25:29Stick to the jab.
25:30The jab is what's working for him.
25:33And again, the movement is almost non-existent now for Herndon.
25:39We saw it in the first few rounds, but it is hard.
25:47It is not, not as simple as just stick and move against a guy like Wilder.
25:55And there's Wilder again, closing the distance with the right hand.
26:00Herndon trying to push Wilder off.
26:03And there's the right hand that knocks Herndon back.
26:05And Herndon kind of turns his back.
26:12So that's a no-no.
26:15Cannot turn your back.
26:16And Ray Corona, you see him talking to Herndon, kind of warning him, hey, you got to show me something.
26:24And there's the right hand blocked by Herndon.
26:31Looping left hook there.
26:40Oh, that right hand got through the defense of Herndon a bit.
26:44And there's the left hook.
26:46Caught Herndon.
26:47And Herndon just kind of turtles up.
26:50And now Herndon just takes a knee.
26:54And Ray Corona telling him to get up.
26:57I think it's just a matter of time now, man.
27:06I think Herndon now is at the point of just trying to survive.
27:10And there's the left hook.
27:11Knocks Herndon back.
27:18Wilders.
27:20Shots are getting through.
27:24He hasn't landed flush with that right hand.
27:27It's always partially blocked or getting a little bit through the defense.
27:31But still not yet connected fully.
27:37And there's that right hand.
27:38Gets through the defense again.
27:40And there's a huge right hand.
27:42Knocks back Herndon.
27:44And Ray Corona stops it.
27:50Herndon upsets.
27:55And I must say,
27:59may have been a little bit too early.
28:03I think it was eventually coming.
28:06But, I mean, Gabe, what are your thoughts?
28:08I think, I think Corona was reading the body language of Herndon.
28:13He didn't, he was, Herndon, body language looked like he was trying to find a way out.
28:17Yeah.
28:18He didn't look like he was actually trying to get back into the fight.
28:22He looked like he was trying to find a way out.
28:24And I think that's why the ref stopped the fight.
28:26He just did him a favor.
28:27Like, okay, you don't want to fight no more.
28:29He was warning him.
28:32Yeah, like, fight back.
28:33The last two rounds.
28:33Yeah.
28:34You gotta show me something.
28:36It's just the body language.
28:37Taking a knee in the corner.
28:39Taking your time.
28:40Like, not throwing back.
28:40You get hit with a big shot right there.
28:43It's like, you know.
28:46I would have liked the fight to continue.
28:48Yep.
28:48Because I like to see Bishop knockouts.
28:50Yeah.
28:51Yeah, it's easier to say.
28:52We're the ones on the outside.
28:53But, you know, the ref was going by the body language.
28:56And Herder wasn't doing anything back.
28:57He wasn't responding.
28:58And he certainly has to protect the fighter.
29:01But, and I do think we were heading in that direction of a clean knockout.
29:08But, look, Beyonce looked good.
