00:00stage okay gentlemen obey my commands in the event of a knock down the fighter standing
00:05we'll go to the furthest future corner and stay there protect yourself at all times
00:10that's the line for low blows gentlemen okay touch gloves could be explosive there's 22 knockouts
00:17between vladislav sirenko and solomon dacus they share over 30 victories together but both
00:24in need of a standout success sirenko's 30 dacus 31 and the prizes that lie ahead wow
00:33how will that first round defeat affect solomon dacus how good is the ukrainian he has 11 wins
00:42in the first round and i guess the key barriers how dacus coped with what happened to him against
00:48david adelaide yeah you've got to try and get a positive start will will erase that from your
00:53memory very very quickly so he has to be the constantly moving target but never running
00:57and getting that balance right is very very difficult the jab has to be solid
01:05he's got plenty of skills darren as you were saying dacus in the amateur ranks but as a pro
01:11he needs a big win yeah he does and this could be it as barry said you know this could be a style that
01:17suits him he would have been used to big tough rugged heavyweights coming forward to it at him in the
01:23amateurs one thing he does have is nimble footwork glides both both ways and i think it's just in the
01:32past we've been a little unhappy it is real desire and ambition to let shots go but when he's in full
01:41flow he's a tough man to beat about bouncing back here but as we've said he's in there with a big punch in
01:48ukrainian who himself knows a big win here really throws him in the mix and the only worry about
01:54dacus is he throws from the hip which makes that jab hard to read and it's fast but it's never going to
01:59come back to the hip to the to the chin if you're throwing it from the hip so serenka with that dangerous
02:05overhand right and if there's not enough weight in the punches of dacus serenka will be happy to block
02:10mostly shots on the glove by this time and slide that front foot in and let that right hand goal
02:14be committed just like that both have exchanged body shots in this opening round the left hook from
02:20solomon dacus he's not the heaviest of punches three knockouts inside schedule and this serenka just
02:27likes he wants to walk through and trade with dacus tries that right over the top of the head adelaide
02:35had success with that that was a glancing blow on the top of the head there needs to watch those
02:40as barry said he needs to keep that left hand higher don't pour out the jab throw it properly but
02:47that recall get it back to where it started and that's right that is the pulling out i think oh
02:52shot from the chin up when you pull it out you've got to slide out that's the difference if you're
02:59gonna have the left hand low you've got to get your legs a little bit wider and get a little bit lower
03:03good shot lovely shot from solomon dacus there as serenko comes in he's a little bit stiff in the
03:10shoulders serenko so if dacus can just get through these early stages he might be able to utilize that
03:18boxing ability just looks down at his corner i think it's a lot about his self-belief here solomon dacus
03:24because serenko hits mighty hard he's getting stuck in though i'm telling you he's holding his feet he's
03:30he's not afraid to let his hands go he up into a good contest this i think variation very key changing
03:36the levels for dacus head body look serenko has a nice high guard to work downstairs yeah neat and tidy
03:43from solomon dacus slight mark under the right eye away for serenko
03:59how are you doing
04:03more to legs you need to get more to legs
04:09stop following around the ring cut it down all right stay low and do the body work
04:15keep your hands up slick on top keep your hands up slick on top more body work all right shake a little
04:23more shake a little more don't open up you're hitting it with nice right hand but you got to put a
04:28left hook behind
04:28second round here heavyweight division of course that is what it's all about a little later on
04:52tonight but some good early fights in store and here's one shaping up nicely vladislav serenko
05:02from kiev in the ukraine based in staten island in new york at the moment in the black trunks and
05:10the white and gold of birmingham solomon dacus dacus in his 11th outing it's the 23rd for serenko who's
05:18unbeaten and dacus made a decent start darren i don't think he's uh fight bad at all here he's
05:26using the momentum of serenko to to walk him onto shots working the uppercuts well i think that
05:32spin-off's important try and get back to the center ring the start again a little bit ploddy as you say
05:39barry and telegraphing his shots yeah he's tricking his feet up a little bit in this rod i bet you i think
05:45got a bit of a bit of a rollick into the corner there you say listen you gotta get you gotta get
05:49that tag a little bit quicker it's just if we talk about acceleration and pace all the time it just
05:53makes so much difference in your work uppercut from dacus might have the edge in speed in there
06:01against serenko he's settling himself well here after the disaster against david adelaide who's in
06:09real form at the moment but that can play heavily on a fighter the comeback has got to be but mentally
06:17he's got to be tough here he's boxing really well i think because what he's using as well he's using
06:22because the guy who looks to set himself in serenko when they're in the clinch he's winning the fire
06:26thing because he knows serenko's got to set himself it takes a little bit longer for him to let
06:29his hands go it's like he knows where he's gone wrong in the past and he's trying to resurrect that he's
06:36trying to make that right you've just got to keep the concentration because he does invite you
06:40somebody he does because he throws on the hip i mean he offers the opportunity of a free target and
06:46in this division that's always a little bit dangerous but at the minute the boxing was in his
06:51flow he's throwing the punches with enough authority to stop him from walking through it
06:55certainly is body shots and an apricot in there as well from solomon dacre's former english champion
07:01turned over with that sort of blaze of publicity as a new heavyweight on the block
07:10serenko just too predictable at the minute he's walking forward and don't get me wrong this does
07:16take it out of you when you've got someone walking you down making your move but just telegraphing
07:21everything right now he's got to start feinting work that jab change the level that jab to the body better but
07:27again the work on the back foot from day because that variation very very good what he has to do
07:33he's a little bit of success just make it if figures are not hurting him just make
07:37things work really hard because dig has already made me start to tire a little bit if you can make
07:41him work hard and he wants to in the second half of the fight theoretically he will be wrong with serenko
07:46winning his early rounds takers but a long way to go
07:55come on then stay alert mission you know when you get a couple of walking backwards you can't do
08:00don't give him that cap yeah good positive start moving nicely shots to the body they're really really
08:07good because the high guard of serenko and the uppercuts worked a treat in the first few rounds
08:14but as barry said that move you know that movement coming forward putting that pressure on you
08:20making you work can take effect down the stretch but you can't fault this start from day because
08:25looking very very good keep calm keep kicking him off at the front
08:34what a super shot of this fabulous city of london and weberley stadium
08:40well michael buffers said yes there at the weigh-in the best sporting venue in the world and we are
08:48here live on the zone tonight with the huge rematch coming up olexander rucic and daniel dubois
08:57heavyweight action early with solomon takers making a good start here against the favorite
09:03vladysan syrenko new to the queensbury stable undefeated but uh takers are settled barry
09:10yeah and the problem is when michael buffers says something because it's a legend they just
09:15believe it so like the millennium stadium is arguably the greatest venue for sports in the world
09:21and when you say it does everyone believe you nobody believes
09:25good start from davis darren yeah i'll ask you instead yeah no really really smooth got into his river
09:30nicely using the momentum of serenco in his favor there's just some lace coming out the gloves of
09:37serenco i won't be surprised the ref stops this shortly just to get that tape back up
09:42it's just how he's trained diggers now he's gonna have to throw a lot of punches here and if he's
09:45trained for that great work from solomon takers rattling in these combinations and serenco is
09:53flooding forward like barry picked up on earlier the feet are flat and the chin is out and he can't just
10:00keep walking through these heavy punches from dacus and i tell you what he's pushing his punches
10:05the minister and go talk about the diggers having the work hard serenco not really throwing with
10:09authority here big golfer there from the ukrainian and solomon takers well who'd have thought it
10:17this early on in the comeback it's going ever so well tell you what as well that that amateur
10:23pedigree that dacus has he would have seen this time and time again so many times he obviously not
10:28seen it in the pros but someone who's just walking forward but you've got the skill that he has just
10:32plays into your favor and again we said it's just more concentration of it because he's got a target
10:38that he can't miss with serenco she's just not being smart making keeping active like he is for
10:44waiting the shots but don't make silly mistakes don't pull it with your head out i
10:48he's giving away a lot of weight two three five pounds to two five six for the big serenco so
10:58dacus has just got to be careful he doesn't expend all this energy with great work in the first three
11:04rounds is scheduled for ten of course but it's a great effort so far from solomon dacus yeah really
11:11rotating through the shots there so so important he keeps his shape under pressure when serenco lets the
11:17shots go the defense has to be watertight it really does oh and that's the hook from serenco who's got
11:25the edge in power definitely and just marauding forward it has to be ever so careful squarely speed
11:32a little bit but luckily there was no speed in that shot for strength it was a heavy shot but it wasn't
11:36enough really to knock him back too much the weight pushed dacus back there there's no little snap in the
11:41touch luckily not at the highest level of the heavyweight division but a good clash between these two already
11:54olexander rusik enters wembley stadium and listen to this noise
12:01he was the one that got the big cheers of the way in not daniel dubois the brits will be expecting
12:13the crowd tonight he didn't have it for the joshua fight i didn't bother him mind you but it looks
12:20tonight is that a great deal of people have come into the coliseum of wembley stadium to see
12:27onyxander rusik the genius well they will because he's a superstar of the world boxing so you want
12:32to see him perform at his best but also down dubois would have took a lot of anti-joshua's fans tonight
12:37he beat anti-joshua here so i wouldn't be surprised you know when it starts getting dark and all the lights
12:43come on and the atmosphere builds that is a pro dubois crowd for sure i think it's going to be a mix here
12:5090 000 due in several thousand in already to see vladislav syrenko and solomon dacus warming up nicely
12:59this dick is winning the early sessions but syrenko just has this way of marching you down and drilling
13:07in the shots looking for knockout victory number 20 in the front of spencer brown and all at ringside
13:15that's better there from syrenko some of a body movement he just has rolling his way in
13:19that forces diggers to look for the target which slows him down only so slightly but it might give
13:24you the opportunity to get close and throw that right hand which is the weapon of choice there
13:27for syrenko yeah definitely just a bit more sharper with his movement now syrenko
13:34yeah yeah still plenty of time left in that and they'll know that in the syrenko corner
13:43good work again i think he's ever been troubled as he's syrenko with any of the shots but it's been good
13:48smart accurate boxing but it's enough weight in the shots i mean the arm punches pretty much from
13:53take it but enough weight the shots just to stop syrenko throwing with him and again he's when he
13:57punches at the start the combination and the finish of the exchanges he's he's nicking the rounds isn't
14:03he quite clearly nicking the rounds yeah boxing well takers he turned over may 2021
14:09syrenko also turned over in the month of may but that was back in 2019
14:18body shots from syrenko he's got to look for that counter right hand as well over that lazy jab and on
14:25the flip side got a bit tighter in defense with that lead hand they could he's got to watch that right
14:31hand from syrenko i can't believe syrenko because the right hand is a really good shot thing that he
14:36uses so well but and dig is invited to throw it so put that head on your left hand side and just
14:42whip your body over and just commit to that right hand you'll get speed in the shot you get the right
14:46angle because it'll chop down it's the perfect shot for a guy with a loose defense yeah that also puts you
14:52in the position to pull the the left hand after whether you go head or body you're prime to throw a
14:56left corners could be key max mccracken alongside us robert and spencer mccracken's brother the family
15:07from birmingham and in the other corner is james ali bashia who uh learned his trade under emmanuel stewart
15:14and also trade olexander usick for a fair bit of his career he's with syrenko tonight
15:22again he's making takers work but not at a frantic pace and diggers it's just i think he's having fun
15:28here there's a little bit of jeopardy no one again but at the most part he's picking his shots well
15:34the right hand comes back with a combination there diggers he's doing more here takers the accuracy
15:41the punches thrown and landed and syrenko just taking time to get going he's struggling on it with the
15:48speed and movement of takers
15:58next up's a really good one that is um daniel lapin who's the brother of search lapin the best friend
16:05and uh one of the trainers of olexander usick he's in with louis edmondson both of these guys are
16:11undefeated they've got really good boxing iqs there's louis lovely lad the saint from southampton
16:19really fancies it he's the underdog here barry but um it's a good fight it is because they're both
16:24coming off their best wins i think i think against their best opponents it's really emerson beating
16:29no beating down aziz that's a fantastic win there and also for lapin coming off a good win he went the
16:33distance after four stoppages previous to that but i thought he boxed really well the folks down to
16:38understand what they're very very good at edmonton is a real puzzle at times and laughing but when he
16:43punches long he's very difficult to get past that one up next looking forward to it also ahead is
16:50lawrence acoli now a heavyweight looking to uh stamp his authority on the division in a good fight with
16:57the south african southpaw kevin lorena meanwhile solomon dakers is having a really good start here
17:04the englishman against the ukrainian that's going to be uh the story in a couple of hours time
17:12and adam you said it all called you know a heavyweight he didn't sort of work into a heavyweight
17:16did he he went he went from a cruiserweight to 19 stone or something he weighed 262 pounds at the
17:23way yesterday how on earth did he make cruiserweight and become a world champion incredible it really is
17:29must have been such a struggle before here and it's a struggle here for serenco and i was thinking
17:33you know if you're boxing for the future which it seems to me as if serenco's doing he's trying to
17:39put dent in day because you've got to be so careful because it is risky because you don't want to get to
17:45the seventh round and you're six six or seven rounds down you know then then panic stations kick in
17:51you've got to make sure that yes you're putting the pressure on your opponent but you're winning the rounds
17:56cuffing shots to the body from serenco but he needs more work dacus is looking at his corner
18:03so far so good the tactics are being executed well but what happens if serenco lands with one of his
18:11jackhammer hooks again when you've got i say it all the time no i never had it if you've got power
18:17make him feel it early make it slow them make him panic make him double overthink things you did have power
18:22you had a soleno freighters on the ground on the floor he slipped i did that was he slipped i know
18:28i just want you to i just want you to say that i was setting you up but also when you're in against
18:32a fighter who's technically better than you you smother his work you've got to smother his work you've got
18:37to make him make him rush his work so there's gaps up here and you can land i've got to say if this is an
18:42audition of vladislav serenko to make his mark as a big threat in the heavyweight division so far he is
18:50not impressing he's unbeaten in 22 but solomon dacus coming off that defeat to david adelaide
18:57he's finding it very easy to hit just one place dad you know very very predictable and i've said it
19:02before when you you've got the sort of know-how from the amateurs that dacus does he's just reading
19:07everything at the minute he's got to stay switched on there's always that danger but yeah far too easy
19:12to read at the minute serenco and you're right with reading it's not just the one pace it's
19:16he's square to the target he's not dipping his legs he didn't move his body about three rounds ago
19:22moved his head off the line he thought there you go get some rhythm from that the momentum using your
19:27body weight to go side to side but yet he walks forward with his hands high not getting hurt by
19:32takers but he's getting out box and out fourth now that's the jeopardy the fact he probably feels he
19:37could walk through some of these punches from dacus but he's not winning these rounds because he's just
19:44not landing enough cleanly right hand there from takers and at the halfway point well it's advantage
19:52the brit now let's get the thoughts of our greatest heavyweight wonderful to be working alongside him
19:59tonight lennox how are you seeing things yeah dacus you know he's got his hands down he's got to be
20:04careful because he's in danger zone all the time with his hands down he's got to keep his hands higher
20:09and serenco he needs that rhythm you need to you can't walk ahead straight forward because a guy can
20:16close his eyes and throw a right punch and you'll be there for it so he's got to get that rhythm going
20:20side to side and then you know there goes what moving to his right side that's where he's open for the
20:30right hand there so you know serenco needs to get that right hand going whip it across
20:39corners the thoughts of lennox lewis who we were with when he became the undisputed champion back in 1999
20:51that uh ever so controversial draw the scandal really against evander holyfield in the garden
20:57and when he uh well ripped the wrongs in vegas and became the wbc the wba and the ivf
21:07champion of the world our greatest heavyweight by far i mean if you want to know if you want to be
21:13if you're the heavyweight you're not that you want to know what to throw a jab he's your man i mean
21:18speed authority everything you need for a bit of heavyweight to dominate the fight and that's
21:22and he had the weapon what lennox lewis did as well is he came back from the oliver mccall and has
21:28seen ratman defeats to inflict revenge maybe that is a uh a hope for daniel dubois later tonight
21:35that's what he'll be trying to do for that defeat in poland he's got to liven up here serenko he
21:43really has everything's got to be sharper the hands the movement the head movement everything he's just
21:50so one paced at the minute and you said it there adam if this is an audition you know you're failing
21:56miserably but on the flip side they could he's boxing nicely he's box into a plan i imagine this is exactly
22:02what they thought would have happened in this contest barry what on earth is james ali bashir thinking
22:07in the corner here because he's been in with some of the greatest heavyweights he's got to change
22:12things hasn't he but you know what like you've got 30 seconds 40 seconds maximum to tell something in
22:17the corner and also you've got the weeks of training camp but ultimately a fighter has to think for himself
22:21for those three minutes he has to so you have to know even though you're not being hurt that doesn't mean you're
22:26not getting out of force and our box which he is clearly here and he'll be the one tired because
22:31he's taking punches and that that drains your energy some deep breaths there from bakers and he just
22:36left back is he feeling the pace oh good left up he might be down but he's allowed the time to recover
22:45the fitness is not bogus fitness is after you're tired it's about recovery so you can get tired
22:5020 seconds to recover he slows it down with the jab you've got to up the pace against the guy who's
22:56dictating the pace against you
23:00right hand from dacors again and you look down to renko's record there's not many big names
23:06in those 22 victories he's got to do something here he's got to hurt dacors
23:12and hope that the birmingham man sort of falls to pieces a bit or certainly tires because at the
23:21moment he's having a field day in there i always felt that before the fight this is stylistically
23:25it was wasn't a great fight to surrender potentially but you'll start the feeling that
23:29he might get the day because the low left hand and he can whip that right hand over some pace when
23:34he wants to but he's been very very stationary tonight are you worried darren in the dacors corner
23:41that he's only got three stoppages on the record and uh he's done a lot of work to this point not
23:47necessarily no i mean look he's made serenko think with his shots yeah let's slow walk back to the corner
23:55you have to say but ever so slightly the light at the end of the tunnel starts to become a little bit closer
24:03so much ahead on the zone the home of combat sports of course bare knuckle action the bkfc from philly
24:14next friday dustin peg and ryan peterson going head to head and while the action of a little less
24:20strenuous nature at the jcb golf and country club the latest round of live golf comes to the uk that's
24:28friday on the zone we wish boxing fans rory mcelroy and justin rosewell at the open at the moment they're
24:38doing okay corners again take it just shows so much here so much about himself come back from that that
24:44defeat that horrendous defeat from adelaide to dominate and control everything so far tonight
24:49brilliant display from dacors and disappointed from serenko running out of time running out of rounds here
24:55this undefeated ukrainian vladislav serenko have you given him anything no nothing at all but in this
25:03division it almost doesn't matter what you're doing because one half a shot completely justice hooney fabio
25:09award great example so yeah needs to stay switched on needs to keep movement moving b first
25:18b third with the counters he does look to me as if he's taking a few deep breaths now
25:27bakers needs to keep his shape
25:32but sereno's again thinking on your feet he's not he's not doing that because if you can see and feel
25:38that that vagus entirely that should give you that you know almost the endorphins the the the the
25:43the impetus to want to just push the pace a little bit more certainly throw that through the power
25:48shot that he's got and he hasn't really thrown anything when he fights he done with one couple
25:52of good left hooks early in the fight that they just took quite well but that's been it it's been a
25:59stop start rather inactive career he turned pro in south africa vladislav serenko so have gloves will
26:06travel but he's got this opportunity here frank warren signed him and he's
26:13he's happy to chat away at ringside tonight he's got to do something to impress him you name a heavy
26:18week he's got most of them oh and usic by the way as well um there he is there's frank and uh
26:37uh he will be hoping that either serenko impresses or that um and there's level that next to him
26:46our our boss our big boss great to see him at ringside yeah fantastic just shows you that the
26:55magnitude of this event everyone's wanting to be in attendance i could just see right through about
27:02three rows back frank bruno i remember being here when he beat oliver mccall at the old wemberly
27:08september 1995 the fourth attempt frank bruno lifted it he lost here to tim witherspoon didn't
27:14he at the old wemberly in 86 but that was an emotional night wasn't it when big frank won it
27:20incredible nigel bear etc jumping in the ring special special night so far it's becoming a special night for
27:28day because boxing might nicely he needs to pick his shots now don't get greedy he's starting the
27:33tiring ever so ever so slightly so that's where gaps can appear so pick your shots don't be sloppy
27:40and if you're serenko he's got to stab the the jab to the body and look for that overhand right i don't
27:46know what he is waiting for still takers over to tom davis who's got uh lauren sakomi with him i think
27:56yes yes here we are my guy long time how are you very well i've seen you my friend how are you feeling
28:03how are you feeling yeah i feel good you know just another day in the office my garden do my thing do
28:08you think and and how about how are you going to go about that what are you going to do what's the
28:11prediction oh it's going to be vicious you know it's a good occasion good opportunity to grow some
28:17steam soft and look forward to it i love that and then we've obviously got the the big one afterwards
28:21what's your thoughts what's your feelings i think it's gonna be a great fight i have no idea who's
28:25gonna win but i'll be tuning in for sure my guy lawrence acoli get ready for this guy to punch out in that
28:31baby we are ready and there he is frank bruno a national treasure spencer brown giving him a big hug
28:43and it's great to see frank here we've seen now see him hammered as well i remember naz and nigel
28:49ben at ringside screaming for frank to get over the line against oliver mccall frank bruno here lennox
28:58lewis as well they fought in cardiff and that was a rainy night it was a normal tournament that was
29:03rainy nights great i think he did really well there because then it was just a massive favorite
29:08good fight actually wasn't it solomon stakers well on the verge here of an upset win over
29:16vladysav syrenko the fancied ukrainian who's coming here to impress and was probably looking to walk
29:23through dacus after what happened with dacus against david adelaide but it hasn't worked out
29:28that way i'll tell you what though he spoke to myself at a carl frankton at the media workout on
29:34wednesday he was full of confidence he really was you know he understood the challenge in front of him
29:38but whoa big left of the gum shills out the gum shield went out there
29:42he's alerted the referee that's his opportunity to let his hands go well an intervention from bob
29:52williams gives solomon dacus a bit of time as uh serenco waits in the neutral corner what happens next
29:59here in room number eight we've got time from takers he takes a good shot takers i think
30:08again again with the heavy you know they're so heavy-handed the temple shots have more of an effect
30:12than you look for your weight and certainly my weight but it has to be really on the chin isn't it
30:18whipping in the body shots and to the head now syrenko this is more lively late on and it needs to be
30:26the ukrainian who's got to be a mile behind on the judge's cards three of them here around us at
30:32ringside he fainted there serenco where's that where was that do you see more of that that could close
30:38the gap good right hand from dacus holding his shape yeah the guard has got a little loose of
30:45serenco managing to penetrate the guard with the shots that straight right went through nicely
30:52gets the right hand round that left glove well dacus
30:58could come down to who's paced this better over the ten round serenco just marching plodding forward
31:05dacus has done a lot of work on the back foot utilizing those skills good right hand
31:10but a lot of work where he hasn't been forced to do a lot of work i don't think i mean really the
31:16strength has been walking him down but there's been no massive jeopardy no threat really except for just
31:21the target in front of you barry who's feeling yet more in there right now i think dick is probably
31:26feeling but i don't think it's not that much of a bother he's trained for a fight like at this way
31:30with this magnitude with two and a half runs to go and i think you know circle for me needs a few
31:35knockdowns on a stoppage i'll be feeling it as well though serenco in the sense that he knows he's down
31:41he's got to know he's down and it's so frustrating when you just can't get going and that's the case
31:47here for serenco you know there's a real lack of kind of desire you say you've got to throw the
31:56kitchen sink but can he throw the kitchen sink does he have the arsenal to do that
32:12that's a lovely left hook there that's the shot there takers then throwing that left into the body
32:31for the right hand blow this time not the left hand and yeah it's a bad mistake different takers and
32:37look he took took the shot well and maybe not enough speed again as we talked about in serenco to
32:41really have an effect against takers but for the most part again in that round we had some success
32:46there's a circle maybe takers did a lot of the better work i thought okay look at that lovely right
32:51hand as you said that just a little lack of defensive on serenco corners 10 seconds both feeling the pace here
33:01seconds out round nine he looks down at the canvas vladislav serenko but he's got to look at
33:08solomon takers he's got six minutes to do something about this this uh audition
33:15for a place amongst the top heavyweights it's going badly wrong for the ukrainian and full credit to
33:22solomon takers and his team for the way they've rebounded off that what pretty catastrophic defeat
33:29to david adelaide that first round blowout and it just goes to show that sometimes these things can
33:35happen in heavyweight boxing takers has got back to the gym and he must now believe he can glide his way home
33:42here actually you know that's a really good turn there but i think he's going to be careful he doesn't
33:47glide too much doesn't coach too much i mean he is tired now and he's thinking i'm ahead here don't
33:52make mistakes you're still going to be active with the hands otherwise you do invite trouble you do allow
33:57the guy to get close you do allow you do give the guy more confidence to let his hands go not many of
34:02serenko's knockouts have come this late in the fight darren do you think he's still got the power to turn this on
34:08on its head it doesn't look like it but i'm honest if if dacre's had anything left in the tank and he
34:13can sustain an attack i feel he could close the show in style here it's not the other way around
34:19do you know what we learned about dacre isn't that he doesn't throughout his career but tonight the
34:23smoothness in his work it lacks a bit of weight it doesn't turn to the shots like you'd like for a
34:28heavyweight but it's there's nice smooth rhythm to his work that's why you can unload the combinations
34:32more fluidly than serenco he doesn't need to be doing that day because trading left hooks with
34:36serenco that gives him half a chance serenco keep them straight keep them long and see this fight out
34:43but we thought justice hooney was cruising the victory at ipswich a few weeks ago and at this
34:49stage of the fight fabio wardley produced one massive right hand and closed the show so you never know
34:57in heavyweight boxing but solomon dacre's well he's boxed with authority with confidence and he's
35:04hardly got a mark on it
35:06he's riding the shot really well they think is he's side on isn't he so lovely shot
35:16beautiful from solomon dacre's it's what he can do just caught the eye of mark seltzer you know well
35:22in the corner and they've got to be really happy and it's something what darren said earlier he walks
35:28you on the shots at times yeah i mean that's his bread and butter that's what he likes to do
35:32use the momentum of the opponent to walk him onto shots but yeah mark seltzer was in every single one
35:37of my quarters he knows this game inside out they'll be thrilled it's about staying switched on now and
35:42you said it there at the start of this round serenco was looking at the canvas and the body language now
35:47is of somebody who's feeling sorry for himself and also with themselves have been in the corner so
35:51often with that he'd be able to pick up mistakes quite quickly i was going to say how did he put
35:57up with you for so long but i've known you for longer yeah i'm driving you mad nine rounds in the
36:04box here and it's serenco in need of something dramatic on this fabulous stage
36:14wonderful shot of wembley stadium from overhead spinning around look how small the ring looks
36:29you're in there somewhere barry jones i can see my head i can see it okay it's making me blink
36:38but yeah really good stuff this barry from from dakers trying his best to keep his shape and boxing
36:44nicely walking serenco onto the shots and what a victory this would be going in there with someone
36:49who was really tight touted to go on and do big things 19 knockouts out of 22 wins to rip up the
36:55script and announce yourself again in this division will be so satisfying for dakers three minutes left
37:02for him to get his arm raised
37:06final round of what's been a good watch in the heavyweight division and it's been good to see
37:11solomon dakers returning to form former english champion and those two wins over michael webster
37:18looked like he was going places until the david adelaide defeated around just going to show you a
37:24blip in boxing and now it's he who's taking advantage of the big stage sometimes you've got to be mature as
37:31well about the manner in which you've been beaten it's heavyweight boxing he was caught high on top of the
37:36head against adelaide and he got knocked out yes he got stopped but you just got to understand it can happen and
37:42don't be too hard on yourself and as i was saying me and i and karl spoke to him wednesday and he
37:48he was confident he understood what happened and he understood what he needed to do here
37:53do you know what this frustrates me a little bit see how he's at the pace here serenco
37:57good that's good yeah why why why now why why why did you leave it so late
38:03and then let the right hand go so there was no weight on that shot but i mean that's the shot
38:06you should be good throwing all the time that's why i mentioned james ali bashear earlier in the corner
38:11this guy's seen everything in heavyweight boxing and there just hasn't been a change here tonight
38:17whether it's the fighter just not listening to instructions or being able to do it because
38:22takers real credit he calls himself the real deal he might not be a founder holyfield but i tell you
38:28what he's reignited his career here the 31 year old from birmingham with a really good performance
38:36don't jinx it still 90 seconds left adam but yeah he's doing what he's got to do and i like it still
38:41letting his hands go but i think he's boxed so well i need to take everything the jab's been good
38:47there's been a heavy jab been a fat flicking jab that just offset the rhythm of serenco all the time
38:52and the tank as well barry and he's got yeah he's put a lot of punches down his move he's moved
38:56without ever running let's be honest constant movement but never running away seven months on from disaster
39:04over the road in the arena solomon dakis is putting it right at wembley stadium and he's announcing
39:12himself as a decent domestic heavyweight here there's dave allen just behind us david and leg we
39:18mentioned tkv fraser clark so many good fights ahead for solomon day because he's got 40 seconds to see
39:28this one through and it's been an exhibition really a little right hand there sneaky right
39:34hand there from dick is not quite an advocate not quite a screw shot but he's 11 right down through
39:39the middle he's controlling everything here he's made serenco look back average and that's being honest
39:48you looked at the record there haven't been many eye-catching wins in those 22 victories for serenco
39:54but they've thrown him in tonight with a solomon dakis who believed and who's boxed exceptionally well
40:03take a battle the man from birmingham got his comeback win doesn't matter now the three judges have
40:11got to have it heavily in favor of dakis that was some performance it really was and that that body
40:18language there doesn't like the reaction to the final bell when you see dakis lift his hands
40:23serenco drops his head they know they know they've done enough he boxed really really well he needed
40:28to bounce back with a victory there a big picture and he's done just that could have been so easy for
40:33him barry to feel sorry for himself after what happened against adelaide he didn't know well let's
40:37be honest on paper it's a stupid fight to take after just being knocked out in a row to take a guy
40:41who's not 19 of his 22 wins with no defeats that's a silly fight to take but it also it's maybe the
40:48fight because i if i don't gamble now and get my and keep my my name in in no in the running the
40:53people are going to forget about me because of my style i'm going to be forgotten about no one's
40:57going to want to want to match me up no one's going to fight me i have no value so he takes a risk and
41:02and that's what and i think in the last sort of 12 to 18 months fighters have taken risks and when and
41:07and when they've when they've come on top top and they've won they're reaping the rewards that's
41:12some redemption there and as we wait for the official result she's back clarissa shields to quote
41:20on the zone next saturday putting her undisputed heavyweight yes heavyweight crown on the line
41:28against the new zealander lani daniels amazing that she's uh won so many world championships and so
41:37many weights clarissa shields bladislav serenko it's very downbeat over in the blue corner
41:46he put his shift in but the third year old had limited success tonight he gutted it out to the end
41:54but he couldn't turn the tide and solomon takers look at it looks like he's had a walk in the park
42:00tonight must be pleased with those 10 rounds not official yet but it's got to be wide on the cards
42:12of lee every marcus mcdonald and victor lachlan thomas driver has got the official result
