SportsTranscript
00:00Okay, let's have a call break, expect you to take a step back.
00:06Don't deliberately throw punches around the back of the head,
00:09but take yourselves at all times, touch gloves.
00:11Good luck, lads.
00:13Third contest here on the prelims.
00:19And the fourth contest for 21-year-old Alfie Middlemiss
00:24from right here in Manchester.
00:27Round one.
00:30We've been impressed with what we've seen so far from Middlemiss, haven't we, Barry?
00:34Yeah, for a young man, he's really nice, like you say, all the time,
00:37with these young stars, they're all nice and composed.
00:40Let's just see it there, I was going to say, the feinty throws are really good.
00:43Not too fast, just enough to draw something out of your opponent.
00:47And he puts his punches together really well.
00:50Really good personality, he understands what is required.
00:57Obviously he needs to do the business in the ring, but he talks a very good fight.
01:01Very likeable, you can hear the support he has here.
01:06Developing nicely as well as a fighter.
01:10Jamie Moore, Nigel Travis, Dave Allen, see in the corner there along with Kerry Kaye, managed by Sam Jones.
01:17So he's got everything there to really have a very good career.
01:22But there's a cut, Barry, above the left eye.
01:25Good, good start for him.
01:29Less than a minute in, he suffered a cut.
01:32Only a four-rounder this as well.
01:34Against Mohamed Wacko, as I say, originally from Ethiopia now, in York.
01:39As long as it's not an awful cut, it's not a bad thing, because it's how you cope with it.
01:45You've got to almost forget it's there, it's difficult to do, especially when you're young.
01:49If you can keep your composure, that'll help you, you've felt it before.
01:53When it happens in a more significant fight, you won't panic and lose your shape or do something silly.
01:59I say, after Middlemiss, he's in good hands, so does Wacko.
02:04Josh Roenton's dad, Maxi Hughes, in the corner as well.
02:08Lovely left there to the body there from Middlemiss.
02:11Yeah, it was a lovely shot, very accurate, quick, nice jab to the body.
02:15Hasn't bothered him, hasn't troubled him, that cut, has it?
02:20No, no, he hasn't adapted it, which is good.
02:24That little faints lovely, isn't it?
02:26It is.
02:27Good.
02:28Hasn't really take the bait that much.
02:30Just look at the paw, though, with that lead hand.
02:32I just think he's feeding a little, I like a wide stance, I'm more for a wide stance,
02:35but I think he's feeding a little bit too wide.
02:37Just means he can't know, if he faints, he can't really explode into a combination,
02:41because you've got to drag that back leg with him.
02:44I remember being an amateur and doing the same thing,
02:47and putting wraps, the coaches putting wraps around my feet,
02:51so I couldn't widen them too much.
02:53So you couldn't run at the gym?
02:54Basically, yeah.
02:55You all know that.
02:56Wacko's trying to hold the centre ring, nice jab again from Middlemiss.
03:03Yeah, I like that variation with the lead hand, stabs that jab into the body,
03:11looking very composed.
03:13He bends the legs, doesn't he, as well?
03:14He doesn't just lean down with the shot.
03:16He bends the legs, so he's at the height to throw it straight.
03:20It's been a good opening round by the cut,
03:23which doesn't look too bad from our view here at ringside.
03:27But he's boxing nicely, Wacko just trying to let a few shots go.
03:30Good opening round.
03:32So, you see what he's doing?
03:47Every time you punch, he tries to touch it and then he tries to punch that way.
03:51So make sure you saw a sharp shooting, half-class crew, half-step, yeah, let him follow sure, and then you'll get the distance better, and then you can come without the second phase after us, but always, so don't go one, two, three, for one step, one step, and always get out a little bit of space here at the other end, as he gets more tight, you can sit a little bit more in the distance, while he's got a little bit of anything, just don't tell him in two minutes.
04:16Let's have a look at these highlights, there's the cut here, yeah, little clash of heads there, accidental, just coming up from the shots, Mohamed Awako, just seeing Kerry Kayes go into work, if there's anyone you want dealing with a cut, is that man there?
04:33Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can save your career, can't you?
04:36Ricky Hatton, at Kerry Kayes, we know how badly you can cut Hatton, the back to this one, second round, middle miss, Wacko.
04:46I think it needs to be, like, because of that, I think if you can start pushing Wacko back with the jab a little bit more, there you go, I think that'll help, a lot, and I mean, he has the ability and timing just to sit back and then Wacko walk off the shot, but I think, you know, just again, Wacko coming forward with that head might be a problem, so if you can push him back with the jab, I think that might keep him a little bit safer, but also busy and winning the fight.
05:11Your coronation, please, man, Barry.
05:13There's Barnes, his dad, Alfie, middle miss, Phillips, middle miss, he's a budding actor himself, he's Alfie, he's potentially starring in a film coming out soon, or a documentary or something, keep your eyes peeled for that, but back to this one again, nice jab, the variation with that lead hand has been very good.
05:41Yeah, and he sort of stabs with that front foot, so there's enough weight in it, he hasn't got power yet, there's enough weight just to stop being in track, but also with that, because he steps with the front foot, he can step back and put himself back in a safe place.
05:54What a bust for him as well, I'd say, in that gym.
05:59Three of the other guys on there, Akin Fias, Pat Brown, and of course Jack Cattrall, all on the cards, a busy night from Nigel.
06:06He's full of experience in the gym as well, isn't he?
06:08Yes, and Dave.
06:09Dave in the corner, Dave Allen, all on the other guys being around the block, and having an Indian summer right now.
06:16He is, isn't he?
06:16He really is.
06:18I'm an Indian summer, isn't he?
06:19Oh, he's young.
06:23Looking to hear news soon regarding Dave Allen, I'm sure.
06:30Just holding centre ring now.
06:33Pacing out that jab again now for middle miss.
06:35Don't want to be there, see, that's why I see him pushing it back keeps the punches long for you, because you'll step back and double jab with the front hand there.
06:48Have a pushing back, then you throw the right hand at the end of it, even if it's not a powerful shot, it'll force him to move back.
06:54Yeah, he's doing the right thing though there, Wacko, just gliding out of range, just trying to take this thing out of the shots.
06:58He's, however, going back in straight lines, so I expect middle miss to come forward and bring the feet.
07:05In behind the shots.
07:07He doesn't want to do that with him, I say, throw that right hand wildly from too far out.
07:12Again, because you're bringing your head forward then, and your head, if you throw the right hand as well, you're going to be dipping in the right hand, your head's going to come low.
07:19And there's more chance of getting a clash of heads.
07:21Last 10 seconds here in the second round, that's a middle miss for having Wacko, finishing with a nice overhand right, middle miss.
07:30Work!
07:30Work!
07:33Work!
07:37Work!
08:12Ten seconds, corners.
08:20The arena starting to really fill now.
08:27Round three.
08:28Martin Middlemiss sold bundles of tickets, very well supported here, hometown of Manchester.
08:34Boxing nicely, he didn't fight it though, I mean Wacko, he fancies this.
08:41It's the odd shot going every now and again, looks to be dangerous with the left hook.
08:50Middlemiss with the quicker hands, the know-how, setting everything up at the jab.
08:57Boxing nicely, it's very composed, done a good job of that cut.
09:01We haven't quite been able to see how bad the gashes we see in the break after the first round.
09:06It was a flash of heads.
09:10I don't know, Hagen.
09:12As I say, Max Hughes in the corner of Mohamed Wacko.
09:17Trying to get their charge going, trying to get him into some momentum.
09:24Again, he's trying to push it back.
09:26See, people think when you push it back, you've got to get close and be physical and you don't have to.
09:32That's better.
09:33That jab's a lovely weapon that he has.
09:35He punches really clean and neat.
09:37Just do that.
09:38As I say, Wacko, he has been beaten five times.
09:41Four of those five losses all come from unbeaten fighters last time out against Chordy's 4-0.
09:47Corey Scott looking for a right uppercut there, Wacko.
09:50And again, misses with the second one and just misses with the left hook.
09:54He's letting his shots go, but that's a lovely left to the body.
09:56Follows it up with another one.
09:58Does it up in Middle Miss.
09:59Starting to go through the gears, Barry.
10:01Yeah, he threw another cut just before he landed with that left hook of the body as well.
10:04It was a lovely shot.
10:07I wouldn't advise him to be there because, again, with the cut.
10:10But still, putting his push together well and looking to be aggressive.
10:14Yeah, and that jab again to the body.
10:16A very good shot.
10:19That cut's held it really well, hasn't it?
10:21It's the magic of Kerry Cage again.
10:24I'm sure.
10:27A bit more aggressive.
10:28I can't see.
10:29Magic's a bad substance.
10:30Magic.
10:32The magic sponge.
10:35Nice little welter in the EFI there as well.
10:39And now it's under the right eye.
10:41Middle miss.
10:45He needs to be careful, Wacko.
10:47He's letting his shots go.
10:48Fair play to the Ethiopian, but it does offer opening.
10:53For middle miss.
10:54Good work to the body again.
10:56He's trying to fire back here, Jacko.
10:58He's not really having much success with the accuracy, but...
11:02Did you just call him Jacko?
11:03No, Wacko, I said.
11:04I did say Jacko.
11:06He's getting pushed back here.
11:07He's getting pushed back here.
11:08Mohamed Wacko, Jacko.
11:09From Alfie, middle miss.
11:10And that's good footwork for middle miss.
11:11The way he just spun off back to the centre ring.
11:12And that left to the body a very good shot from the youngster from here in Manchester.
11:15Finishing the round really, really well.
11:16Good work.
11:17Yeah, just the left arm there.
11:18Kerry Kaye is just obstructing our view.
11:19And that's good footwork for middle miss.
11:20The way he just spun off back to the centre ring.
11:21And that left to the body a very good shot from the youngster from here in Manchester.
11:24Finishing the round really, really well.
11:25Good work.
11:26Yes, the left arm there.
11:27Kerry Kaye is just obstructing our view.
11:28Let's have a look at this work from both in that round.
11:31Nice and lovely body shot there.
11:32From the back to the centre ring.
11:33And that left to the body a very good shot from the youngster from here in Manchester.
11:35Finishing the round really, really well.
11:36Good work.
11:37Yes, the left arm there.
11:38Kerry Kaye is just obstructing our view.
11:39Let's have a look at this work from both in that round.
11:52Nice and lovely body shot there from middle miss.
11:55And the left took the finish as well.
11:57Nothing bothering Wacko to be fair.
11:59He takes a good shot and coming back with that body shot there.
12:02Maybe he just dipped the elbow a little bit.
12:03But looking at the fire back.
12:05And I think, you know, because he's trying to be a bit more assertive here.
12:08Little miss.
12:09He's making it a bit more of an enjoyable spectacle.
12:11But I would say that he doesn't need to do this.
12:14I mean, he's winning.
12:15He's not in no jeopardy at all.
12:17But, I mean, eager to win this easily.
12:19Using what he has, those beautiful skills and that great timing that he has.
12:24But he wants to show a different side of his game.
12:27For the fourth and final round.
12:30Final round here.
12:32Third contest on the prelim show.
12:36Half a middle miss.
12:38And with Wacko.
12:40Yeah, as you say.
12:41Barry, he's got stuck in.
12:43He's let his shots go.
12:44He's stood in the pocket at times.
12:45And he's made for good entertainment.
12:50But yet to get stoppage yet.
12:52Half a middle miss.
12:53But still only 21.
12:54Still maturing plenty of time.
12:55And you can see the way he puts his shots together.
12:57The hurtful onslaught to the body.
13:00I'm sure it won't be long until he starts getting that first notch on his record.
13:04Yeah.
13:05A good shot.
13:06Yeah.
13:07He's starting to take the shots already, isn't he?
13:09So the technique's there.
13:10Just a little bit more turning into the shots.
13:12And a little bit more just man strength maybe.
13:15We'll see an improvement in that.
13:17Yeah, but the variation, very good.
13:19The jab has been on point.
13:22As I say, varying that shot to the body really, really well.
13:25Back upstairs.
13:26And he wants to show you can be busy.
13:28I think he wants, you know.
13:30Sometimes when you're labelling as one thing,
13:32you want to show you can do something else?
13:33Absolutely.
13:34I mean, I don't think it's practically the right thing for him to do.
13:37I mean, you can try what you want to.
13:38It's a fight that you almost can't lose.
13:40Like, you know, he's picking up facial damage then he didn't need to.
13:43Yeah.
13:44The damage under the right eye is starting to worsen now.
13:49Spitting out some blood as well.
13:51Little miss.
13:52That's nice there.
13:53He used his eyes there.
13:54Lovely there.
13:55Jab to the head there, middle miss.
13:57Yeah, that was a good overhand right.
13:58Sort of stumbled there for a second.
14:00Wacko.
14:01Nice left to the body again.
14:02That's been a very impressive shot.
14:04Looks for the shot again.
14:05Tucks up.
14:06Well does.
14:07Wacko.
14:08It's starting to go through the gears here.
14:10Nice sort of slip to the right as well from middle miss.
14:12The crowd are enjoying this spell.
14:14And he's staying nice and neat with his defence end of the miss.
14:17He's allowing Wacko to throw the shots wild around the sides
14:20and he can just punch through the middle.
14:22Good tempo to the work.
14:24Look, it is only four rounds but he's finishing this contest strongly.
14:29Middle miss.
14:30Minutes ago.
14:31I think they're going now.
14:32A little look down to the bottom.
14:33Yeah, there's a lot of thought isn't there in the work from middle miss.
14:37It's a bit of sparring with Jack Cattrall.
14:38The build up to this one.
14:39So it would be.
14:40Yeah, it would be.
14:41Bundles from the right side.
14:42Jack, oh, good shot.
14:43Yeah, lovely shot to the body again.
14:44Inverian up the tack to the body with the right hand.
14:46Nice little skip to the right.
14:47We like that one Barry.
14:48Yeah.
14:49And he's got Wacko under the cosh here moving back.
14:51Gamely coming back with that left to the body again.
14:5220 seconds in the final round here for Wacko to survive.
14:53As I say that, the Ethiopian comes back with four shots of his own.
14:56Deep breaths as well.
14:57It's been a good contest.
14:58That left to the body again.
14:59Sign up to the body again.
15:00And then Varian up the tack to the body with the right hand.
15:01Nice little skip to the right.
15:02We like that one Barry.
15:04And he's got Wacko under the cosh here.
15:07Moving back.
15:08Gamely coming back with that left to the body again.
15:1020 seconds in the final round here for Wacko to survive.
15:13As I say that, the Ethiopian comes back with four shots of his own.
15:19Deep breaths as well.
15:21It's been a good contest.
15:22That left to the body again.
15:25Sickening blows putting his feet in as well
15:30Really good four-round contest in the featherweight division there after middle miss
15:35Will get the win mohammed wacko can be proud of himself just leaning on the ropes there
15:43A good contest that barry good good learning fire that really good last wrong fun to watch
15:47It was fun to watch and I think you know
15:49I think will miss no one did a bit of that sometimes you want to be in a fun fight and he was in a fun fight
15:53And but and you know maybe when he gets a bit more man strength what he tried to do there
15:58Will be really really productive you know just blocking and rolling and punch keeping you keeping your shapes
16:03You can punch inside your body frame and you can land the right shot
16:06Yeah, because through the middle of the letter to the body
16:08He's placing it there and if you can start whipping it or digging it in that's going to be a really good weapon for him, but
16:14You've got to be thinking what the damage you're coming away with facially, you know, it's not life threatening
16:19It's not going to ruin his career, but I mean
16:21You know that could it could change the fight for you, so you've got to stick to your strength
16:25But it's nice to see a different side in this game, and I thought that was good to watch
16:31That cut's not too bad so we can get out again soon, but let's hand over to David Diamante
16:35Ladies and gentlemen after four rounds here in manchester we got a referee steve gray score scorecard it reads 40 to 36 for your winner
16:46He's still undefeated
16:50Alfie
16:50Middle miss
16:52Yeah, I'll be middle miss moves to 4-0 as a pro the wall supported
16:59local
17:00Mancunian
17:03Big smile on his face he has all week mohamid wacko just leaving the ring he can be proud of himself
17:08I'm sure he'll be busy in the future and that'll be the plan
17:12For Alfie middle miss hopefully that car as I say is not too bad so we can get back out
17:18And keep this
