00:00Okay, boxers, you both know the rules. You know what I expect? Stay professional, obey my commands, and most of all, protect yourself at all times. Good luck.
00:10The dulcet tones of the excellent referee, Mark Lyson, as Tjema Paige Richardson has her television broadcasting streaming live debut here on DAZN against Teresa Zvorakova.
00:28Big show on GBM tonight, and I'm in the company of Dave Colwell. It's a pleasure to have you with us.
00:36As always, Adam, it's a pleasure to be working with you again.
00:43Very good amateur, Tjema Richardson, the 24-year-old from Scumfork. Won many, many titles, and this is fight number two as a pro.
00:58Looks like Richardson's already drawn a little bit of blood from the nose already.
01:04He's getting straight down to business, looking for the big shots.
01:09No doubt wanting to impress on a debut on DAZN.
01:14Steve Wood was telling us earlier that she's got a really, really pleasing style on the eye, Tjema Richardson,
01:25and that she's going to make an exciting professional.
01:29She's certainly going about it in the first minute of the first round.
01:32non-stop aggression on this Teresa Zvorakova, who's in her 16th pro outing.
01:39Already got blood to the nose, the lady from the Czech Republic.
01:43She's a little bit, a little bit eager, Richardson, at times.
01:52She's throwing herself a little bit too far forward and perhaps smothering after she lands and connects with a good shot.
02:00A little bit of nerves, no doubt, trying to impress.
02:03But that will settle after round one.
02:04Good jab to the body from Richardson.
02:07She's got classy footwork and you can see her concentration there
02:15and looking for the countering shot as Vorakova comes in.
02:19Yeah, that's nice work.
02:24Yeah, flitting in and out.
02:26Fast start from Richardson.
02:27Fast start from Richardson.
02:57Good atmosphere in here tonight, isn't it?
03:06Yeah, it's a great, great fan base here up in all.
03:09They love the boxing.
03:10They support all the fighters that are local.
03:13Always make a lot of noise.
03:14Ten seconds, boys.
03:20Seconds out.
03:22Round two.
03:26Second round here.
03:27In the super lightweight division.
03:29Gemma Richardson in the lilac trunks with the purple band and the white and purple boots and hair.
03:37Fantastically braided.
03:39In with Teresa Zvorakova from Kladno in the Czech Republic.
03:43Kicking us off on this GBM night in Hull.
03:47Live on DAZN.
03:48Week in, week in, week out action from up and down the UK.
03:52Did you see Tia Mayer last week?
03:54Wow.
03:55I did.
03:55I did.
03:56She looked very good.
03:58So young as well.
03:5818 years of age, the matchroom debutant last week got things started, followed by Pat Brown, who looked really good.
04:07And he's back in action in Manchester next week.
04:10Richardson opening up for us here on this GBM show.
04:14Standby for Adrian King next up.
04:16The heavyweight and so much more ahead.
04:19Blood dripping from the face of Teresa Zvorakova.
04:23It's a fast start from Richardson.
04:25It is.
04:26And she's rumbling forward quite effectively.
04:29But also in between that, she's dropping back.
04:32And her little counters with her left hand have been lovely.
04:35Nice lead hand counters as she sets traps as well.
04:38That nose looks bad, Dave, for Zvorakova.
04:42Mark Lyson already having a close look at it.
04:44The claret coming down.
04:46I wonder if it's broken.
04:48She's never been stopped, Zvorakova.
04:50She's tough, been around since February 2019.
04:55But this speed of Richardson giving her all sorts of problems.
05:00Yeah, she looks very uncomfortable in there.
05:04She can't really get anything off either.
05:07That's what I'm talking about, that left hand there.
05:09Just a little drop back, sets the trap.
05:12And then takes advantage of it with a lovely left hand.
05:15And it was a heavy jab as well.
05:16It wasn't just a little touching jab.
05:17She's trying to bob and weave and release the shoulders, Zvorakova.
05:25But it's a good start for Richardson, two in the back.
05:28We've had a million, a million natural sluggers.
05:36So let's get down, let's get over there.
05:40Let's get down, let's get over there.
05:44Come on, come on, I've got it.
05:48We've had a million, a million natural sluggers.
05:52So let's get down, let's get down, let's get down, let's get down.
05:56Back and forth, back and forth, the blue.
06:00No second before, I don't need it.
06:03To get a walk since I had your intention.
06:08To live on what I'm doing.
06:14Ten seconds, corners.
06:20Seconds out.
06:22Round three.
06:25Here's the third round, Gemma Richardson from Scumforp Amateur Boxing Club.
06:31Originally a stellar career, she's 24 now, she's trying her luck in the professional ranks.
06:38Well supported, in with Teresa Zvorikova.
06:41She's won four of 15, Zvorikova.
06:44But she's been outgunned, outblasted in these opening couple.
06:47And it's Richardson who's doing all the quality work, really.
06:53Body shots are good too.
06:55And Zvorikova trying to get into this.
06:58Yeah, Richardson's landed a lot of heavy shots at the start of this round.
07:01The variety as well.
07:03Left hooks, body shots, right hands to the head.
07:07And another right hand there.
07:09It's got a nice rhythm to herself.
07:11Multi-time national champion, former youth world champion as well.
07:15So there's so much pedigree there.
07:17Spent some time with Team GB, Gemma Richardson.
07:21Steve Wood might just have unearthed a really good young lady to add to the ranks here.
07:26Yeah, Steve's always had an eye for talent.
07:29Brought through a lot of good fighters.
07:31Brought through on the small old shows and they've transferred over to the big promotions.
07:39One of the good guys in boxing.
07:41Steve Wood in the front row alongside Izzy Asif.
07:49Promoter.
07:51Manager.
07:52Jack of all trades.
07:54And very successful out of boxing as well.
07:55Yeah.
07:56Needs to be, I think.
07:58Definitely.
08:03Just wanting Richardson to use her jab, the blue corner.
08:07You can see the nose damage of Zvorakova.
08:11They're having difficulty keeping that under control.
08:14And another one-two is not going to help matters at all.
08:18Now, Zvorakova's struggling badly here.
08:20She's basically getting beat up.
08:22She's not managing to get anything off herself.
08:25And her face is looking a real mess.
08:29She's also choosing not to sit down in between any of the rounds so far.
08:32Well, next Saturday we are in Manchester.
08:43And a big match room show.
08:45Jack Cantrell moving up to welterweight.
08:48And in with the undefeated Harlem-Eubank.
08:51It really is a fabulous match.
08:53Pat Brown on the show.
08:54Sky Nicholson back.
08:55But the main event, a bit like tonight, a really good one, which you can't call.
09:01Yeah, it's such a good fight.
09:02A really good fight between two very clever, very sharp, good boxers.
09:07It's, you know, Harlem-Eubank's looks really good.
09:11Especially recently, it's looked really, really good.
09:14So fast, he's got slip moves.
09:16But Jack Cantrell is such a clever fighter.
09:18And he will not go away from what his plan is.
09:21Round four.
09:22And he's got the experience of boxing at a higher level.
09:24It's such a good fight.
09:26It really is.
09:26But he is off that defeat to Arnold Barboza Jr.
09:30And as well, he's moving up to welterweight.
09:32A lot of jeopardy in that one.
09:33Harlem-Eubank very, very confident.
09:36Jack Cantrell, a beautiful, stylistic boxer who has the home advantage as well.
09:41Wonderful July coming up on DAZONE.
09:44More of that later.
09:45Let's finish June with a bang.
09:47Oh, there was a bang there with a left hook.
09:49That was a lovely left hook from Richardson.
09:51Yeah, really nice work from Gemma Richardson,
09:53who's starting to put some meat into these punches.
09:56I think she fancies she might be able to become the first woman
10:00to stop Teresa Zvorakoba.
10:02She didn't get a knockout win in her first professional victory
10:06against Angelika Oles in March.
10:09But I think she fancies this tonight.
10:11She's looking really good.
10:12She is looking very good.
10:19Yeah, good body work.
10:21Especially from Richardson.
10:23And she's, well, true to what Steve Wood said, very aggressive.
10:28Going downstairs, back up to the nose area particularly.
10:33And she's rough and tough and strong, Dave.
10:36She is.
10:37I just think she's getting a little bit eager when she gets up close.
10:42A little bit eager.
10:44There's nothing wrong with having a little pause once you get in there
10:46and then picking the gaps, you know,
10:48and being a little bit tight with the punches.
10:49That's the trainer and the coach's head in you.
10:52I think she's over eager because she's desperate to impress
10:55live off the zone, this big crowd.
10:57I think she's enjoying it in there.
10:59Definitely, without a doubt.
11:01Without a doubt.
11:01You see, I can hear a corner shouting, pick your shots now.
11:18That's what I mean.
11:18It's rather than just throwing for the sake of it when you get there.
11:22Once you get there, you've rocked up with a shot,
11:24you've knocked off balance, just pick the shot.
11:26Slow it down a little bit.
11:27But that comes with experience.
11:28That comes with confidence and experience.
11:38Team Richardson.
11:42A 24-year-old from Scunthorpe.
11:46Looks a good addition, doesn't she,
11:48to the super lightweight division.
11:52Yeah, she does.
11:54And an exciting style, she's going for the knockout.
12:12We've got an excellent super lightweight coming up in Sean McComb.
12:17A little bit later.
12:18Seconds out.
12:20Great to have him back in action.
12:22Round five.
12:25Four minutes left of this one.
12:28The six by two sprint distance for the ladies.
12:32And it's Gemma Richardson in with Teresa Zvorikova.
12:38Zvorikova, who's lost 11,
12:41but she's decent around the circuit.
12:45Yeah, and she's very tough.
12:47Very tough.
12:48That's better work from Richardson.
12:51Just giving herself more room there.
12:54When she got up, she shortened those shots a little bit to the body.
12:57Oh, lovely work again from Richardson.
13:03She sees the openings.
13:06That's better work again.
13:10Straight out, these amateurs work down to the body quicker now when they turn over as pros.
13:15She really throws volume, doesn't she, Richardson?
13:24She's going to be in some fun and exciting fights.
13:26It's such a great time for women's boxing.
13:29A couple of weeks away to the Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano trilogy,
13:34and a whole host of British names on that card.
13:37Savannah Marshall, Chantelle Cameron, Ramla Raleigh, Ellie Scottney.
13:41It's wonderful, isn't it?
13:42Yeah, it is.
13:43It's a who's who women's boxing on that card.
13:47Richardson is really, she's up to quality of work right on this.
13:51You know, she's not just throwing blinds.
13:53She's just, 30 seconds ago or so,
13:56she mixed up like three shots at the head,
13:58dropped down to the body and then went back to the head again.
14:00Lauren Bryce celebrated her birthday and an engagement this week.
14:07And Caroline Dubois, so many great women fighters at the moment.
14:16Yeah, that's a good stoppage that.
14:17I was just about to say it's getting to that point now.
14:19Really good stoppage from Mark Lyson,
14:21who's a very experienced official.
14:24Gemma Richardson was all over Teresa Zvorikova.
14:27And that nose damage wasn't getting any better.
14:30She just sort of shrugs her shoulders.
14:32The lady from the Czech Republic.
14:34But it is a good TKO win that for Gemma Richardson,
14:40who becomes the first person to stop Zorikova.
14:44It's a second outing.
14:45I like what I saw there.
14:46Yeah, she was very impressive.
14:48And especially in that last round,
14:50she just calmed herself down a little bit
14:51and thought about what she was doing when she got there.
14:54Once she's landed that first or second big shot,
14:57what do I do next?
14:57It was a little bit more calm.
14:59And so the punch delivery was better,
15:01taking a little bit more out of the opponent.
15:02She won every minute of every round.
15:08And these shots were getting home a little bit more frequently to the head.
15:13Yeah, Zvorikova didn't really complain.
15:15She knew she'd been outclassed from start to finish.
15:19But icing on the cake for Gemma Richardson.
15:21That's a really good win under the lights,
15:24under pressure, live on the zone.
15:27And she's one to watch, Dave.
15:28Yeah, definitely.
15:29It's a good addition.
15:30Good addition.
15:30Like you said, it's a big thing for tonight.
15:33You know, she's on a great set up.
15:36She's on the zone.
15:36It's her first time she's experienced this.
15:38A lot of tension, a lot of willingness to impress everybody.
15:43And, you know, I thought she did a great job there.
15:48That hairstyle as well.
15:50Fantastic.
15:53You can't get it on yourself, Adam.
15:54Looks the part, doesn't she?
15:5924 years of age.
16:02Multi-title winner as an amateur.
16:06Wonder how far she'll go in the pros.
16:08She's got a good team around her.
16:10Steve Wood will guide her well.
16:12And she's got personality.
16:14FIFA Club World Cup is all happening.
16:19Stateside, Chelsea, Manchester City, all the big clubs.
16:24It's well underway now.
16:26And it's available on DAZN.
16:29Every single matchup.
16:32Fantastic.
16:33Expanded from City, Chelsea, River Plate, Inter Milan.
16:37The Giants of World Soccer.
16:39I wonder if Gemma Richardson will be a big name in the boxing world.
16:43She certainly loved that performance.
16:45And we love the way she started the show for us.
16:48Very game effort from Teresa Svorakova,
16:51who has stopped for the first time in her life.
16:54And that will delight Gemma Richardson
16:56and her faithful from Scumthorpe.
16:59First one in the books here in Hull.
17:07Ladies and gentlemen,
17:09please show your appreciation for both boxers.
17:12Your referee, Mark Lyson,
17:17brings this contest to a close official time,
17:20one minute and 45 seconds of round number five.
17:25Therefore, your winner by TKO from Scumthorpe,
17:29Gemma Richardson.
17:33TMA 8 last week on DAZN.
17:39This week, Gemma Richardson impresses.
17:43Fantastic to see.
