00:00Okay boys, both know the rules, I want you to obey my commands, tell you to break, break clean, defend yourselves at all times, just call up boys.
00:13So here we go, the return of Sean McComb and a hug for Pete Taylor in his corner who guided him to that beautiful performance against Arnold Balboza Jr.
00:25On the Garcia, Haney card in Brooklyn, that was April last year and he returns to the fold and there's some big fights out there from McComb.
00:37If he can get back to business here against Alexis Torres who's won 13 of his 25, two southpaws and let's see how they fathom each other out.
00:51Sometimes they cancel each other out, two southpaws and it becomes a difficult one to gauge but these two should blend well their styles.
01:04Well the first job that Torres has got is to get past that huge reach of McComb.
01:09He's at such a disadvantage, high reach-wise.
01:14McComb's got a long stance as well.
01:16Good body shot, in and out, Sean McComb.
01:22He was a wonderful amateur and he's got super skills.
01:26He crafts out victories and you've got to take him out of his comfort zone.
01:34Gavin Gwynn did it a few years back.
01:37That's the other loss on the record of McComb but he's a really good fighter and he won a string of good victories before that.
01:52Barboza, well that split decision defeat that could have haunted him but mentally he seems fine.
02:01And he's really pleased to have Izzy Elsie as a promoter.
02:06Now, first time he's had that in his career.
02:08It's mad, isn't it?
02:09Yeah, he's not, you know, that's boxing.
02:12Not everybody gets smarter.
02:15Sometimes you have to, you have to try the path first and earn that spot.
02:21Torres just glancing down at the McComb body.
02:24Big target.
02:28Can he get in and out?
02:30And although he's had that disadvantage, the height and reach, he can get close and try and pepper the ribcage of McComb.
02:39He's tough, Torres.
02:42He's going to need to be because you would imagine he's going to get peppered on the way in.
02:45He's going to have to, you know, he's got sharp trunk movement, head movement.
02:49So he's going to make McComb miss on the way in but also he's going to get caught.
02:53And he's going to have to take that in order to get his own shots off.
02:58But he has, he has got there a couple of times in this first round and a couple of times he's only just missed.
03:05Not like that, which was a wild miss.
03:08Lovely work from McComb there.
03:10He dismissed Ring Rust at the press conference on Thursday.
03:14Said, I don't believe in it.
03:16I've kept myself in tip-top shape in the gym.
03:19I've had plenty of sparring.
03:20It's a, it's a myth.
03:22Do you agree?
03:23Yeah, for some fighters it is.
03:25You know, some fighters do get affected, but maybe that's perhaps a little bit mental.
03:29But a lot of fighters, Ring Rust is nothing.
03:33It depends on, you know, obviously if they're living light and they're training, sparring, doing everything in the gym.
03:38You look at the elite fighters, you know, they, these days, they fight once a year.
03:44We don't talk about Ring Rust when they go out.
03:46I was thinking about it.
03:51A lot of talk, obviously, of the Daniel Papua challenge of Oleksandr Usyk just three weeks today.
03:56Can't wait for it.
03:57Biggest fight of the year so far.
04:00And Daniel's been out since that win over AJ in September.
04:04He's meant to fight in February in Riyadh.
04:06And I just wonder if that, that lack of activity might affect, it might not.
04:11But if you'd had that run out against Parker, run out and fight against Parker or anything before that.
04:17It's a long time to be out.
04:19It is, but again, you know, you're talking about top level fighters.
04:22You're not going to think about it when it gets in.
04:23Round two.
04:25The bigger problem than Ring Rust is the man that stood in front of him, you know.
04:28What, Oleksandr Usyk a problem?
04:30Yeah, just a little bit.
04:31Just a little bit of a puzzle in front of him.
04:32Pound for pound, King, Usyk, Dubois, three weeks today.
04:37Live only on DAZN at Wembley Stadium.
04:41An absolutely packed and stacked schedule on DAZN.
04:45Manchester next week for the catch-all Eubank fight.
04:48Then out in the States, Hamza Shiraz in with Belanga Shakur Stevenson as well that night.
04:54It's all happening.
04:57A packed July also in Bournemouth with that one with Ryan Garner and Rhys Belotti.
05:02Sean McComb here hoping to get into this super lightweight mix.
05:07The likes of Adam Azim, Dalton Smith, Pierce O'Leary, Jack Rafferty.
05:11What a division.
05:12It's a fantastic division.
05:13You know what?
05:14Torres is doing a good job of making McComb miss.
05:17He's throwing a lot of punches at the opening this round and he's missing the majority of them.
05:20And there he just slides himself in looking for his own right hook.
05:23You see, McComb's throwing a lot of work here.
05:28But nothing landed again there.
05:30Torres has lost his last couple.
05:33Been around five years.
05:35One's 13.
05:37He's lost 11.
05:38He's been stopped a couple of times.
05:40McComb not the biggest puncher.
05:41So it looks like it should go the sixth round, which I think is what McComb needs.
05:47But every session vital here.
05:50He can't lose a couple of rounds here.
05:51McComb can ill afford a defeat on his return.
05:55Nice work from McComb.
06:06Clever.
06:12The thing that Torres is struggling with, although he's making McComb miss, he's not quite being able to close the range and get his own shots off.
06:19So he is actually working hard himself in his trunk and his head movement.
06:23He's got to keep that concentration, that movement going all the way through.
06:26You're absolutely right.
06:27That's where he needs to be.
06:29Up close.
06:30Taking McComb to the ropes and into the corners.
06:33And that's what his team are trying to tell him.
06:36He's just holding back a bit.
06:38Wasting a lot of energy on feints and movement and not really doing enough.
06:42And then once he slows down that movement, that's when McComb there starts popping him there with the straight shots.
06:48Yeah, he's clever, McComb.
06:50Holy Trinity Club.
06:52Lert his trade.
06:57Yeah, it's good work for McComb there.
06:59Didn't get frustrated when he was missing, missing, missing.
07:01And as soon as Torres started slowing down, then he started pinging him.
07:05Look at the wide stance he's got as well.
07:10McComb, he really is a difficult target to hit.
07:15Look at that one.
07:17Really nice for the uppercut.
07:19Izzy Asif applauding his new charge at ringside.
07:22Torres with a jab to the body.
07:25Stand around for McComb.
07:34Starting to find his rhythm.
07:35And there's Katie's dad, Pete Taylor, in the corner.
07:38Nice to see Katie and Pete make up.
07:41I know they did a bit of work together earlier in the year.
07:44And I was talking to Pete about Katie's fight in a couple of weeks' time.
07:48Of course, he used to train his daughter.
07:50Ross Ename has been in charge of her professional career.
07:53But it's great to see a dad back involved and around.
07:58Really nice.
07:58Oh, yeah, without a doubt.
08:00I mean, speaking of the dad myself, you know, that's what you want to be.
08:03You want to be around your kids.
08:05So it's nice.
08:06It's nice to see that they're back in each other's lives.
08:09And, yeah, I'm looking forward to Katie Taylor's next fight.
08:13How did you not look forward to a great deal of fight?
08:15And the trilogy against Amanda Serrano.
08:18I had a world with Pete yesterday.
08:20He said, Katie's in sharp shape as ever.
08:23But she's really hungry.
08:26I spoke to her a while ago, Dave, and she said,
08:28we've not seen the best of Katie Taylor yet.
08:30Wow.
08:31Well, we shall see.
08:33We shall see, because we've seen a very good version.
08:37Yep, big fight.
08:3813 days away for that.
08:40That's on Netflix.
08:41The next night, it's live on DAZN.
08:44Ring magazine show.
08:45Can't wait for that one.
08:46Hamza Shiraz in a cracker.
08:49Yeah, that's a really good fight.
08:50Really good fight.
08:51Really good fight.
08:52Are you going to get out to New York?
08:54Do you know what?
08:54I don't know.
08:55Hopefully.
08:57I've just put my flights.
08:58I'm not going to miss that weekend.
09:00Fantastic for boxing.
09:02Really flying our sport at the moment.
09:04And Sean McComb is a welcome back addition.
09:08Boxed really well in that second round against Alexis Nahula Torres from Buenos Aires.
09:13He's fiery.
09:15He's up for this battle.
09:16And promises Yassif he'll give McComb a run for his money.
09:23Yeah, he's got plenty of ambition.
09:25Just the physical disadvantages it's got.
09:28I think he's a natural lightweight as well, which doesn't help.
09:40Tries the body shot.
09:41It's good from Torres.
09:43The aggression needs a few more combinations to try and slow McComb down here.
09:49The problem is McComb's feet are good.
09:51And if you're not a big enough banger, when McComb gets hit with that first shot, he's exiting and he's gone.
09:57So it's very rare that Torres is getting the opportunity to land two and three together.
10:04Got good victories against the likes of Ronnie Clark and Casey Benjamin, Sam Maxwell as well.
10:11Domestic level, he's a handful, Sean McComb, but he proved he's world class when he, in quotes, beat Arnold Barbosa Jr.
10:20Of course, went on to beat Jack Cattrall, lost to Tiafimo Lopez.
10:24But these are quality operators.
10:26Yeah, yeah, top of the tree.
10:29But, but, McComb's got to do it consistently now.
10:43This is good work from McComb.
10:45Just touching on the end of his reach.
10:48Giving Torres no chance of being able to counter.
10:50I love the way that he controls the boxing ring, Sean McComb.
10:57If you like the pure stylist, Sean Joseph McComb is right up your street.
11:06Very, very, very technically capable.
11:13We just saw there for about 30 seconds, McComb started moving Torres around the ring.
11:18Once McComb starts getting Torres on his back foot, he's in trouble.
11:21They're just trying to get that jab going, Torres, but struggling here with the range of Sean McComb.
11:31Alex Faber's caught up with Irish, Tiernan Bradley.
11:35Good to see him here.
11:36Sean McComb, our latest signing.
11:43What do you make of his performance?
11:44Fantastic.
11:45It doesn't look like he's got any ring rust.
11:48And it's great to see him back in the ring after being in a frustrating time.
11:51But honestly, he's the most awkwardest fighter you could ever fight so far.
11:57I mean, I thought he won the Arnold Bobozo fight.
12:00So it's fantastic to have him here and on the stable at GBM.
12:11Tiernan Bradley.
12:13Really good fighter.
12:16Ten seconds, corners.
12:18A ring soon.
12:19And obviously a big fan of Sean McComb as you are.
12:24Round four.
12:26Very good fighters, a pair of them.
12:28Yeah.
12:28Very good fighters.
12:30Skillful, aren't they?
12:31Yeah.
12:32Yeah, very skillful.
12:33Listen, I like my skillful boxing.
12:34I like a tear-up.
12:35But I do like my skillful boxing as well.
12:43Second half.
12:43Super lightweight division.
12:45Sean McComb in fight number 21.
12:48He's won 18 against Alexis Torres.
12:51It's a comeback fight, really.
12:53They say it's a rust-shedding exercise.
12:56But there's no rust.
12:58He's been in the gym.
12:59He's kept himself ticking over.
13:01Just a bit of damage to the right eye there of Alexis Torres.
13:05From that left hand, I think, that beautiful one-two step in, it threw.
13:09Crisp punching from McComb, who's just, you feel gaining confidence minute by minute as he's back under the lights.
13:16Now, Dave, he's called out Adam Azim.
13:24Dalton Smith, we know, is ready to fight for a world title.
13:27But he was nearly going to fight Pierce O'Leary.
13:30I think it was signed for a day or so.
13:32There's Jack Rafferty as well from the Queensbury stable.
13:35Come on.
13:36They're good fighters.
13:36He's got to fight him.
13:37They're good fighters.
13:38Something like Rafferty, I think, would be a good fight.
13:40That's good work from McComb there.
13:42I think he's starting to break Torres down now, you know.
13:44Oh, definitely.
13:46Lovely uppercut.
13:47The golfing class becoming more evident as the rounds go on.
13:52And there's a real late spring to the step of McComb.
14:00I was absolutely gutted for him against Arnold Barboza Jr.
14:03It wasn't Barboza's fault, of course.
14:05No.
14:06But he won on one card by six rounds, McComb.
14:09And lost on the other two.
14:11It was extraordinary.
14:12Yeah, it was a joke for decision.
14:17Like I said, sometimes boxing shoots itself in the foot.
14:20We have some great nights, some great fighters.
14:22And then we get these dodgy scorecards or dodgy decisions.
14:25Even sometimes when the right man wins, you'll see one card away.
14:28It's like, what?
14:30And I really felt for Pete Taylor as well in the corner.
14:32They produced the perfect game plan.
14:36Executed to precision by McComb.
14:38And he walks away with nothing.
14:40And not only that, he's been kept out of the mix.
14:43And not really had any love until Izzy Asi for GBM comes in.
14:49And this is really nice now from McComb.
14:51And just a bit of a problem around the eyes of Alexis Torres.
14:56He's under the cosh here.
14:59He's starting to get beat up now, Torres.
15:01Like I said to you in the last round, once he starts having to go backwards,
15:05then he's in deep trouble.
15:06And McComb's been pushing him back this round.
15:08Mark Lyson stepped in earlier tonight when Gemma Richardson was winning fairly easily.
15:16And he left his eyes on Alexis Torres as this goes on.
15:20I guess the blessing for Torres is McComb's not a thunderous puncher.
15:24But he's been shook a couple of times, this sound.
15:27Yep, it's a good round again from McComb.
15:29Just chopping him up with that jam.
15:47Pop, pop, pop.
15:48And then he'll find something off the jam.
15:50It's really good work.
15:51Through some short punches, long punches, a good variety.
15:55And Torres didn't know what was coming.
15:56And he'll just get in it with everything.
15:57We'll talk about it a great deal in the next three weeks.
16:13July the 19th, the day for your diary.
16:17It is the rematch.
16:19It is Usyk Dubois 2.
16:21Seconds out.
16:22It's at Wembley, the first undisputed heavyweight championship
16:26on home soil here at the National Stadium.
16:31Cannot wait for that.
16:35It's Box Park all day.
16:37And it's Usyk Dubois and others like Laurence Acoli, Sergei Lapin as well.
16:45His brother Daniel's got a big fight on the card against Louis Edmondson.
16:50It's fabulous.
16:51I like Box Park.
16:53Whenever we go for football, we always get a box park.
16:56It's great.
16:56It's a great atmosphere.
16:57I think everyone's coming.
16:58Connor, Ben, Dave Allen's been announced.
17:01It's a fantastic occasion for the fans to get in the box park early
17:06and enjoy the whole day out at Wembley.
17:10It's someday that.
17:11It will be.
17:12It will be.
17:13A summer sizzler brought to you by Queensbury live on the zone.
17:17Three weeks tonight.
17:18I can't believe how quick that's come round.
17:21Three weeks.
17:22Oh.
17:23Rattle round, isn't it?
17:25Yeah.
17:31Torres still trying his hardest here.
17:34The Argentinian in his 26th outing.
17:38He's been good to his word, too, is he?
17:41He's tried his very best, but the class, the range,
17:46the skill set of Sean McComb has been very evident.
17:51I think if McComb builds on that previous round,
17:55you know, I think, you know, in round five,
17:57he's got two more round and a half to go.
17:59I think he could force a stoppage, you know,
18:00if he just turns it up.
18:05He's an intelligent guy, Sean.
18:07I wonder if he wants to get the rounds in here.
18:09Yeah, but it's a six-rounder.
18:11You can stop, you can get the rounds in here.
18:13They still stop somebody in round five or six.
18:15That's, like, the perfect result.
18:18Body shot from Torres.
18:19Back comes McComb.
18:23It's that uppercut that he's looking for
18:25as Torres comes in.
18:29When you're in with somebody,
18:30you can feel the strength just fritter away.
18:34And, you know, when you're zapping them
18:35of the strength, the power,
18:37you know when you can start going through the gears.
18:39And that's why McComb,
18:40you've seen the last couple of rounds,
18:42he's standing his ground more,
18:44he's putting more into it,
18:45and he's just chopping him away.
18:47He stopped three of his first four, McComb.
18:50Only a couple since then.
18:52Yeah.
18:52Does it sort of level out as you go up in class?
18:54Yeah, he's not a puncher.
18:56He's not a puncher, but he hits hard enough.
18:57You don't have to be a big puncher.
18:59You know, you don't have to be...
19:00I am Mike Tyson.
19:01If you hit hard enough to get respect,
19:03if you hit hard enough to steady people up,
19:05and you hit hard enough to stop them
19:06from just walking straight through you,
19:08then that's what you need to do to win fights.
19:12You know, and then you've got those
19:13that are master boxers that can't punch at all
19:15and just outbox it all day long.
19:17But McComb hits hard enough to get respect.
19:19And he's good enough to fight for real titles, too.
19:32Ramona Izzy Asif has been on his feet,
19:35applauding every round.
19:37I know he's his new promotional star,
19:41but I think he's seeing up close
19:44how good Sean McComb is.
19:45Yeah, I mean, you can watch fighters on TV,
19:51you can know about the reputation,
19:53but when you're right this close,
19:56then you see little different things.
19:58You see, it's almost down to,
19:59even you can see how they breathe in a fight.
20:02The reactions.
20:04He'll be impressed.
20:06It doesn't take a lot to impress Izzy, to be fair,
20:08but, you know, you can't not be impressed
20:11by Sean McComb tonight.
20:12Ten seconds, corners.
20:17That's why you're always invited back, Dave Goldwald.
20:21Second out for your six and final round.
20:25As I said, it doesn't take a lot to impress Izzy.
20:29Look, you've been caught out of Riyadh.
20:31You're back with us.
20:32You're everywhere, Dave.
20:32It's great to see the blue and fluorescent green
20:36of Sean McComb putting the finishing touches
20:39to what's been a lovely comeback
20:41after 14 months out.
20:43And just a reminder to the super lightweight
20:45out there, the class that he possesses.
20:49I don't think they're in a hurry to fight him,
20:51and maybe that's why he struggled to get the matches.
20:53Yeah, it's not somebody that you would pick
20:56for a nothing fight.
20:58And that's, you know, that is the issue.
21:00He's kind of like, who needs him, club?
21:04The public nuisance is the nickname.
21:06So what does Izzy do with him?
21:09Keeps him busy?
21:09Get him up, yeah, get him busy
21:10and get him up the rankings
21:12and force him into a mandatory title shot.
21:15Because as a volunteer,
21:16are you really going to look at him?
21:17No.
21:18Not at all.
21:19So you need to get him into a mandatory.
21:21Whatever title that's for,
21:22get him into a mandatory.
21:23Or get him in that slot
21:25where a title becomes vacant
21:27and then there he goes.
21:29You and I remember
21:3115, 20 years ago,
21:33the likes of Ricky Hatton and Junior Witter
21:35and the 10 Stone Brigade there.
21:39Like Welterweight, it was cool then.
21:41Super lightweight these days.
21:42Always been an attractive division.
21:45That and the likes of Andy Holligan and so on.
21:47Now, it really is hot, isn't it?
21:50Dalton Smith, Adam Azin,
21:51the fight everybody wants to see at some point.
21:54Pierce O'Leary, we saw him recently.
21:56Jack Rafferty keeps winning.
21:58Sean McComb.
21:59I mean, make the matches, guys.
22:01Yeah, that's what we want to see.
22:02We've seen it in the past
22:03where we've had a certain weight of you.
22:06We've had like four or five.
22:07Remember the old, like, middleweight days
22:08and things like that?
22:09You know, the fights don't happen
22:12and they go away and you're like,
22:13oh, can you imagine?
22:14That's a witter never happened.
22:15Yeah, yeah, and that was a big fight.
22:16That was a really big fight.
22:18We can get the fights made
22:20and I think too many promoters
22:23or even fighters and managers are saying,
22:25oh, wait until we win a world title.
22:27You might not win a world title.
22:28I would love to see,
22:30if Frank Warren or George Warren is listening,
22:33I would love to see Sean McComb
22:34against either Pierce O'Leary or Jack Rafferty.
22:38I think that will really blend into fantastic fights.
22:42Adam Azin, Dalton Smith,
22:43slightly different trajectories, I think,
22:45and different styles,
22:46but I think McComb against one of those two would work.
22:49I think you're right.
22:50You know, I would like to see McComb against Rafferty.
22:52I think that's a great fight.
22:53You know, clash your styles a little bit.
22:55You know, we know that McComb's
22:57other loss, his loss, so to speak,
23:00was against Gavin Gwynn,
23:01who just hands up, walked him down.
23:03What does Rafferty do?
23:05Hands up, walks you down and hits you hard.
23:07So that would be a good tell
23:09on what he learned from that fight
23:11against Gavin Gwynn
23:12and how much has he come on.
23:14I think that's a really good fight.
23:15You know what I'm going to do?
23:16I'm going to message George Warren tomorrow
23:17and tell him, let's make it.
23:19Go on, now.
23:20McComb against Rafferty.
23:21Let's have him.
23:22Just tell him, me and Dave, we're talking.
23:23That's it.
23:25Dave Caldwell wants it.
23:26And what Dave Caldwell wants,
23:28he's got to get.
23:29Sean McComb with the win.
23:31Looked good, didn't he, tonight?
23:32Yeah, I was impressed with that.
23:34Really, really good.
23:35And the last two, two and a half rounds,
23:37three rounds there,
23:38I thought he showed a lot more there.
23:40It was good.
23:41I've always liked him.
23:42I like Pete Taylor as a coach.
23:44Very, very, very experienced.
23:47And I think Sean McComb has just reminded the boxing world
23:52what he can do.
23:53I'm glad he got under the lights.
23:55I'm glad he's with GBM.
23:57I'm glad he's live on the zone.
23:58I watch half past eight on a Saturday night.
24:01What he needs now is the match that's going to elevate him
24:05back towards world level.
24:06Great to see the whole fans out for a big event here.
24:20We've had the whole box cup for the amateurs,
24:22which has gone on for the last couple of days.
24:25Fantastic to see the youngsters.
24:27Izzy and I popped by yesterday.
24:29Tonight it's the professionals.
24:31We've got some of the kids here,
24:33the teenagers who have lit up the whole box cup.
24:38And we've got some right men here earlier.
24:41Some right characters.
24:43I was going to say, he wasn't one of the teenagers.
24:45He wasn't.
24:46But he was very lively on camera
24:47when Andy Lovato and I went to have a little walk around earlier.
24:51Yep, some fantastic people here in Hull.
24:54Living and loving this Saturday fight night.
24:58Sean McComb's got to be happy with that.
25:00There they are.
25:01There they are, lads.
25:02Why not have a cup of...
25:04I've met him as well, that fella.
25:06He knows his boxing.
25:07He's got a haymaker jacket on.
25:09Yeah, he's an old friend of mine, him, actually.
25:11You know him?
25:11Yeah, yeah.
25:13It's a small world of boxing.
25:14Yeah.
25:16Not seen him for years,
25:18and I just bumped into him earlier.
25:20I tell you what, next week we're in Manchester.
25:23The week after, DAZN are in the States,
25:26and it's a special event.
25:28It's the third Ring Magazine show in New York,
25:33headlined by a fabulous matchup.
25:36Edgar Belanga against Hamza Shiraz,
25:39and you've got Shakur Stevenson's return...
25:41That's a good fight.
25:42...against William Zepeda.
25:45Be there or be square, Dave.
25:47Yeah.
25:47If not, watch it on the zone.
25:48Yeah, if not, watch it on the zone, yeah.
25:51But even the Shakur Stevenson's Zepeda fight
25:53is such a good fight.
25:55Alexis El Terrible Torres played his part.
25:59It was a hard night's work, but he put his ship in.
26:03And Sean McCope, really impressed with his performance.
26:08The public nuisance.
26:11Come on, let's get him in a fight
26:12against one of those top super lightweights.
26:16Ladies and gentlemen,
26:33please show your appreciation for both boxers.
26:36After six rounds of boxing,
26:42we go to Mark Lyson's scorecard,
26:44which reads 60 points to 54 points
26:46in favour of your winner from Ireland,
26:51the public nuisance,
26:53Sean McClellan.
26:57It's been a tough 14 months of inactivity,
27:03but he's not been forgotten.
27:07GBM's Sean McCome returns.
