00:00Can we know the rules of the dressing rooms?
00:02Any questions?
00:03Perfect, let's rock and roll.
00:07So Liam Paro back here in North Queensland is pumped.
00:12The Cairns crowd is ready to go.
00:15And in the opposite corner is the classy American Jonathan Navarro.
00:20Main event time on Fox Sports here in Cairns
00:24and Paro storms straight across to meet him.
00:27Ben Damon in commentary alongside former world title challenger
00:31Michael Zarafa.
00:33Paro is all energy early in this one.
00:36100%.
00:37I mean, Paro has proven that he belongs at the top level.
00:40You know, I think he's going to make a statement tonight
00:43and be straight back where he was.
00:46We've started with confidence and intensity here against Navarro.
00:57He tries to jab away to the body, the southpaw, Paro.
01:06This is a huge fight for Navarro as well.
01:08You know, if he can get an upset here,
01:10this puts him straight back in, you know, like top five in the world.
01:14This is a...
01:15Liam Paro is named to him as a world title.
01:17A couple of good left hands there from Paro.
01:19Navarro came forward, walked straight into that left hand from Paro.
01:28Navarro happy to sit down and throw his right hands with power.
01:34Paro leaps out with a straight left hand onto the Orthodox fighter.
01:40He does look explosive in the early stages of this fight as Paro.
01:49Paro, he explodes towards him.
01:52Paro tries to keep him right on the ends of that left hand.
01:57I like how patient Paro is. He picks the shots.
02:03He'll throw it down and land nine.
02:06You know, he's real composed and relaxed.
02:12Reaches out to the body.
02:14Navarro does the same.
02:23Inching forward now, Paro.
02:26Navarro comes back with a little left hook there.
02:29Straight left hand from Paro.
02:30Go Liam!
02:31Go Liam!
02:32Go Liam!
02:39Give ya Liam!
02:43Chopping down on the approaching Navarro.
02:45There was Paro.
02:54There's blood.
02:55There's a significant amount of blood too on Navarro.
03:01Come on, Liam!
03:02Running straight down the middle of his face.
03:04Liam Paro put his glove up to his own face to check if he was cut.
03:08But all the blood is on Navarro.
03:11It looks to be high on the head.
03:13And it is bleeding profusely.
03:15So it's right in that Tim Zhu sort of area by the looks of things.
03:19And there is a heap of blood.
03:24That is going to cause some issues for the American as long as this one goes.
03:36That was a headbutt!
03:37Come on!
03:38That was a headbutt!
03:39That was a headbutt!
03:40All right.
03:42They complain about the headbutt.
03:44He's up in the hairline there.
03:46Up the top of the forehead.
03:48And that is Robert Garcia Jr. in the corner.
03:49And the official ruling is that it has come from a punch.
04:01So a punch is the ruling from referee Chris Condon.
04:16Jonathan Navarro not happy with that ruling.
04:23Gee, they've done a good job to stop the bleeding.
04:26Let's see if it stays that way once it gets touched again.
04:30But that can't be a good thing.
04:33Definitely not.
04:34You can already see he's panicking.
04:35He's saying it was a headbutt, but they're ruling it as a punch.
04:40But he's just so, you know, worried by it now.
04:44You can tell.
04:45It's not bleeding for now.
04:47And there's plenty of blood in that first round.
04:52And Paro has a target, no doubt.
04:58Oh, he chops around with his right hook.
05:01After that lead left-handers, Paro.
05:06Working to the body there, Navarro.
05:09Paro tries to do the same.
05:13He's got great timing, Paro.
05:15Even when I was sparring with him and, you know,
05:18everything he does is precise.
05:21There's a good shot.
05:23Paro reaches out with the left hands.
05:28Navarro just waiting on him.
05:31But Paro does look so comfortable out there.
05:35I feel like he's getting better and better every fight.
05:37I mean, just his patience, his timing.
05:40He just moves so well in the ring.
05:44Having sparred those rounds with him as Navarro tries to find him there,
05:48what are the strengths of Liam Paro?
05:51What makes him good?
05:52I mean, it was world-class rounds.
05:54He's just his brain, his IQ.
05:56I mean, he's not afraid to try to set traps.
05:58You know, he's world-class.
06:02I mean, he belongs at the level.
06:03And, yeah, I think he's, you know, after this fight,
06:07I think he's going to get a good win here
06:08and on to bigger and better things
06:10and, you know, get straight back to another world total fight.
06:13And there's a good left hand there from Paro
06:16and he goes again with that shot.
06:19Navarro just finds himself off balance there for a moment.
06:22And Paro continues to press forward into him.
06:25Give a different look! Give a different look!
06:28Give a different look!
06:30Give a different look!
06:32At least there's no blood here for Navarro in the second rounds.
06:36He's done a miraculous job on the cut and the forehead.
06:47He's very flat-footed, Navarro.
06:49I mean, I think he's just waiting for that one shot.
06:52Yeah, he's really waiting on that right hand.
06:54Yeah, just to try to catch him.
06:59Navarro.
07:00He's trying to throw big left hands.
07:02Straight down the middle onto Navarro.
07:04He sees that opportunity.
07:05Can't quite find him on that occasion.
07:15Some blood now, but...
07:19Late in the rounds as they head to the Steelers.
07:24We're just going to have a look at a moment
07:26from the first rounds of this fight.
07:30And there's a clash of heads.
07:31Head by, yeah.
07:32Is that what caused the cut?
07:33That was when Paro reached up to check his own head.
07:34Was that the moment that caused the cut?
07:35Officially it has been ruled to be from a punch.
07:40And no doubt the heads came together there.
07:41And it did just start to triple again late in that second round.
07:50We had a time and aim at the chest and aim at the mighty first kick.
08:04Watch the way you jump against him.
08:05And then you see the way you jump back to that straight.
08:07That was big.
08:08Second down.
08:09Second down.
08:10Go, boys.
08:11So round number three commences here, Liam Paro and Jonathan Navarro.
08:30Love the level change of Paro too.
08:32You know, he throws the jab up, touches the body.
08:34And he's always level changing.
08:36I think that's what makes him world class too, you know.
08:45And his posture here for a minute.
08:46Look for an opening.
08:52The corner of Paro asking him to use his feet in these exchanges.
08:57Feet arm.
09:01Tangling.
09:02There's a good shot.
09:03From Paro.
09:06The right hook got through.
09:07I think there's a cut on Paro's nose as well.
09:10Okay, so.
09:12A bit of everything here.
09:21The cut on Navarro's forward.
09:24Has calmed down again for now.
09:27And it might just be that graze on the bridge of the nose of Paro as well.
09:38Came together there dangerously.
09:44Paro looking to time something with that left hand.
09:48He jabs well to the body.
09:49Navarro over the top with his own left hand.
09:52One and two from Paro.
09:53Slip punching.
09:54Chopping his Paro again.
09:55Navarro just walks through that one.
09:56And the blood.
09:57Begins.
09:58Its journey down his forehead.
09:59Again.
10:03Solid shot Paro.
10:04Good counter punch Navarro.
10:05Good counter punch Navarro.
10:06And he goes again with that left hand.
10:15Liam Paro.
10:16And he goes again with that left hand.
10:17Liam Paro.
10:18A little bit too long to see the knock down.
10:19Or a spot for his.
10:20And Paro's just getting that distance.
10:21And that time is.
10:22Clean shot again.
10:23Perfect punch from Paro.
10:24Finds the opening with that left hand.
10:25And he is having some success in this round.
10:30With that simple punch.
10:31He waits and he measures.
10:32He goes to the body.
10:33And over the top two Paro.
10:34Counters.
10:35As Navarro came towards him.
10:36And just springs back into this position.
10:37And just brings back into this position.
