00:00OK, boys, you know the rules, remember, obey my commands at all times, defend yourselves at all times, God bless such gloves.
00:08Wembley was brilliant with 90,000, there's only a few thousand in here, but some noise they're making.
00:15A train thriller it should be in the super featherweight division.
00:21There's the European champion, Southampton's hero, Ryan Garner and Rhys Bellotti.
00:28At 34 now, in fight number 26, round one.
00:34But he's on a great winning run, the bomber in the blue and white trunks.
00:40Now this should be an absolute cracker.
00:43Yeah, promises to be just that, two very good fighters, two extremely good fighters when it comes to form.
00:51Be interested to see who holds the centre of the ring, who can get the ribbon behind their jab.
00:55Both like to do that, both fight at a higher tempo.
00:59It's a cracker, Barry.
01:01It's, yeah, a guaranteed fire rush, because even though they're both very, very good, both very disciplined at times.
01:06Even though and again, they do both twitch off, so they're both susceptible to getting caught with a decent shot.
01:11Good left hook there from Garner.
01:13Again, certainly in the early goals, that concentration is going to be key.
01:17I won't be trying to be aggressive, assertive, without making any silly mistakes.
01:22He's quick Garner, and he finds angles.
01:25He's a rhythm fighter.
01:27Bellotti was a really big puncher, and loaded up in the early days, but he's found a new style in the last two or three years, and he's had some terrific victories.
01:40This would be the best yet, if he can take the European title back to South Oxley.
01:46Listen to this noise in the support for Ryan Garner.
01:50I'll tell you what, Bellotti's sold some tickets as well.
01:53It's a great atmosphere in here, and you're right.
01:55Bellotti has found a style that works for him.
01:58He is a big puncher, but you see against Gomez Jr.
02:01He was happy on the back foot, out boxing the Mancunian.
02:05His looks already early in this round.
02:08He may have to do something similar as a lovely screw shot from Garner.
02:12Picked that beautifully, Barry.
02:14He threw two there, didn't he?
02:15He threw an uppercut, then a screw shot there, Ryan Garner.
02:18Just looking a bit open early, Rhys Bellotti.
02:21The speed problematic at least.
02:24Difficult angles for Bellotti to have to manage in the opening round.
02:31It's a good start for Garner.
02:32And that's what Garner's good at, finding that angle.
02:34He does move, he shift his body around the target quite effectively,
02:37but he just dipped the shoulder to get the angle that's very hard to defend against.
02:41And loading up as well, Early.
02:45To the right hand as well, Mind.
02:47Yep, both of them.
02:49Yeah, I think you've got to try and use that momentum of Garner Bellotti.
02:53Try and walk him onto a shot.
02:55Oh, that's a good one too, from the Southampton man.
02:59Good idea there from Bellotti, just to rush him.
03:02Rush him, back him up into the neutral corner.
03:0515 knockouts and 20 wins for Rhys Bellotti.
03:09He should be the puncher in there.
03:11But there's also, let's not forget, he's boxed slicksters,
03:15movers, punchers, brawlers.
03:19He's pretty much for every style there, Bellotti.
03:21So that experience he has to garnish from and things are not working,
03:24to change and adapt is going to be real positive for him.
03:27But this is a far start from Ryan Garner.
03:30He set the pace, the tempo, and Bellotti's got to go with him.
03:35One night, 17 kids woke up, got out of bed, walked into the dark, and never came back.
03:51This is a true story.
03:53I want to know what happened in her classroom.
03:56Where are our children?
03:58Weapons ready to our focus days.
04:16Welcome back, red hot atmosphere.
04:18The Piranha, arguably the best nickname in British boxing for Ryan Garner.
04:23Lovely lad, and he has 17 wins behind him.
04:28And he's got the first round as well here.
04:30Yeah, that was that double, left screw shot from Garner.
04:33Very impressive, good opening round.
04:35The Southampton colours of Ryan Garner.
04:40With Wayne Batten in the corner as ever.
04:43And the blue and white of Rhys Bellotti.
04:4720 victories in his 25 fights.
04:49He's fought at a higher level, even though Garner
04:52has the European title.
04:54It's a funny sport, isn't it?
04:55Yeah, I'll tell you what there.
04:56So he came in with the head there, Bellotti, and he did.
04:58But while Garner was complaining, he just carried on Bellotti.
05:01He's so experienced.
05:03There's the referee, breaks it.
05:05I'm going to keep marching forward.
05:07I'll tell you what though, he's got to keep his chin down, Garner.
05:09When he throws that left hook, it flies.
05:11See again there, it does.
05:13It rides up slightly.
05:14I don't want to be doing that against someone like Bellotti.
05:17It's faith for Garner, doesn't he?
05:19This is where he wants to be in this position here.
05:22There's a few feints now and again just to draw something out of Bellotti.
05:25Good right hand from Bellotti.
05:27Corner like that alongside us.
05:28Back comes Garner.
05:30So much respect in the build-up to this.
05:32Two good, honest fighters who are going about their business.
05:38Sharp, sharp hands there from Garner.
05:41Really, really quick.
05:42And once he decides to be a pitcher together, there's a little rhythm to it, isn't there?
05:48Really sharp.
05:56If he misses with that right hand, Bellotti, just commit to the left hook.
06:01Really spin your body, transfer that weight.
06:03And to the body as well, you would say.
06:05Yeah.
06:06Exactly that.
06:07Probably go to the body first.
06:08Yeah.
06:17I would imagine his focus is on just evading the shot.
06:20Because Garner's still with intention here, isn't he?
06:25Nice.
06:26Great atmosphere.
06:36Oh, it's brilliant.
06:38Absolutely fantastic in here.
06:40And Ryan Garner says he will sell big at St Mary's if he gets that world title opportunity.
06:49Maybe next spring, next summer, is that the plan for Team Queensbury?
06:54Or will match rooms reach Bellotti, rip up the script?
06:58It's great to see that, isn't it?
07:00Queensbury and match room, Eddie and Frank, good matches.
07:07They're the best voting, the best.
07:08That's how it should be.
07:10Using his feet well here.
07:11Bellotti just gliding out of range, just avoiding the shots coming his way.
07:17Just taking a step too far there.
07:19Needs to commit to the jab as well, Garner.
07:21Don't just pour out the shot.
07:23Just missing here, Ryan Garner, settled a bit more, moving well here.
07:28Rhys Bellotti does walk into her right hand, but it's certainly better from the South Oxley man in the second.
07:35What response are you getting?
07:36Moaning?
07:37Yep.
07:38Good.
07:39Listen, I want to see a bit more double jab in there.
07:40Because what he's doing, the gap's too far for a single race.
07:41So if you're going to shut it, bubble it up more, yeah?
07:42Yep.
07:43Just keep investing.
07:44Keep investing, Paul.
07:45Set that up, yeah?
07:46Rubble on the skinny chin.
07:47Touch that.
07:48Touch that.
07:49It's all right, yeah?
07:50Switched on, yeah?
07:51Concentration.
07:52Two rounds in, good.
07:53Just keep doing, let's do it.
07:54Yeah?
07:55Yeah?
07:56Yeah?
07:57Yeah?
07:58Yeah?
07:59Yeah?
08:00Yeah?
08:01Yeah?
08:02Yeah?
08:03Yeah?
08:04Yeah?
08:05Yeah?
08:06Yeah?
08:07Yeah?
08:08Yeah?
08:09It's all right, yeah?
08:10Switched on.
08:11Yeah?
08:12Concentration.
08:13Two rounds in, good.
08:14Just keep doing, let's do it.
08:16Yeah?
08:17Jimmy McDonald Jr. in the corner.
08:20There's a night to honour Jim McDonald in November, which we look forward to.
08:26His father a phenomenal fighter.
08:29Second's out, round three.
08:32And Rhys Pelotti has been part of that team for a very, very long time.
08:37He's in cracking form, those victories over Aqib Fiaz, Liam Dillon, Levi Giles, and most
08:43recently, Michael Gomez Jr.
08:46And Ryan Garner coming off his biggest win over Salvador Jimenez.
08:51It was right on the button there, wasn't it?
08:53The left hook from Garner, real whipping shot.
08:56And the right hand, it's these peculiar angles he finds, Garner.
09:02The razor-sharp hands when he puts them together, he really is a joy to watch that double left hook.
09:07He started downstairs and finished higher.
09:09That was a good right hand though from Belotti, there's blood.
09:11I can see blood on the forehead of Belotti.
09:14Yep, there's some blood somewhere.
09:16Forehead of Rhys Pelotti.
09:18Good straight right hand, just taking the go there from Garner as well.
09:21He's boxing really well here at the minute.
09:23Just the balance he has, Garner, when he throws a shot, when he turns into every punch.
09:32Don't worry about that chin.
09:34Again, he just threw a lead left uppercut, comes a screw shot.
09:38The chin's way too high for Garner, needs to get that tucked down.
09:42A good left hook from Belotti, and tries to work the body and just winces in pain a little bit there.
09:47Ryan Garner, I don't know whether he thought it was low, tries the uppercut, but Belotti trying to assert some physical pressure here.
09:55And there's a cut, yeah, left eye, Rhys Pelotti.
09:59We didn't need that.
10:01But when Belotti against Cruz here as well, he puts that shoulder in the centre of the stance here to Garner.
10:05Mr Haverganer to work away.
10:08That's good from Garner, needs to bring the feet in again.
10:10Nice.
10:11Two phases, but I think if you're Belotti, you take that half a step back, then throw the left hook.
10:16The chin's high, I keep saying it, of Garner. Half a step, throw the left hook.
10:20Belotti's going for the body.
10:22He's trying to slow Ryan Garner down.
10:25Right hand to the head was decent from Belotti.
10:28Won't be too troubled by that cut, I don't think it's going down the side of the eye.
10:39Cuffing shot from Garner.
10:42It's tit for tat at times.
10:44Garner maybe with a more eye-catching work, but Belotti digging into the body.
10:49Yeah, Belotti's landing with some good little fleeting shots, I think.
10:53But I think throughout, for me, I think Garner's worked probably more solid than the two.
10:57But it's really well in pockets though, Belotti, doesn't he?
11:06He sort of mixes it up and varies.
11:09Whether he's moving on the back foot, on the front foot, a lean on.
11:12Good variation of shots.
11:13That was a beautiful combination from Ryan Garner, uppercut there as well.
11:19Wayne Batten loved it in the corner.
11:21And they're starting to get through here on Belotti.
11:23Last ten seconds of the third.
11:26Just wings it as a ringside, Belotti.
11:28He's such a warrior isn't he, Ruiz Belotti.
11:33But he's just being outgunned a bit in there.
11:36Ryan Garner's round.
11:37I like you to touch him a bit more, yeah?
11:46Yeah.
11:47His gloves.
11:5634 now.
11:58He's had like two phases of his career.
12:02Great to see.
12:04But the speed of Ryan Garner, there was...
12:09Yeah.
12:10A clash of heads in the end of the cuts.
12:11Yeah, it was.
12:12As they come back up, I think.
12:13Just as Belotti comes back up and Garner comes down, the heads clash.
12:18But I still thought it was a good round there for Ryan Garner, in my opinion.
12:21I think Belotti lands some really quality shots, but again, the main body of the work,
12:26I thought, the solidness in the punches were from Ryan Garner for me.
12:30Round four.
12:31A good scrap, the fight we expected, to be honest.
12:34It was always going to be a good scrap.
12:38Harper and Harmony.
12:40Ryan Garner's children on his trunks.
12:43Jackson, who's been around the fight week with Ruiz Belotti.
12:47I think he's ten now.
12:49And Isla Reese's kids on the back of his blue trunks.
12:54Family men, proud fighters, European champion against the British and Commonwealth holder in the super featherweight division.
13:03Two good right hands.
13:04Yeah, two good right hands, Barry.
13:06When he dips low and throws a right hand over the top, there's an unorthodox view with it, isn't there?
13:12He just gets away with it, Belotti.
13:14It's hard for Garner to really slip it and certainly counter it.
13:17It's lovely.
13:20Yeah, two left hooks there.
13:22Really, really good.
13:23Little step out of range, doubled up the shot.
13:25Yeah, sweet work from Ryan Garner.
13:28He's got that freshness, hasn't he?
13:31Nice jab.
13:32There's a solid look about him and Ruiz Belotti has to get those feet moving.
13:37I think Garner's balance is really good.
13:39I think that's why he can jump in an auto-distance quite well,
13:41because he all sort of lands in the centre of his stance.
13:44He's quick as well, very, very quick with the hands.
13:51Had his difficulties through his career, lost his licence for a while,
13:56had problems with weight-making, but he's battled through,
14:00and a lot of the Southampton faithful have real respect for Ryan Garner.
14:05They feel he's one of their own, a lad from the streets,
14:09and just your everyday boy.
14:10I mean, look at the support.
14:12I still, again, I've said it a couple of rounds ago,
14:15that left hook is there for Ruiz Belotti.
14:18I'll tell you what, the job of lifting his chin up, Dan,
14:20he got away with the air going down a few seconds ago,
14:22but he had his chin so high when he missed with the left hook.
14:26He's there.
14:27You see, as he lets that three shots go, left, right, left, the chin's high.
14:32He's got an opportunity, Belotti, to throw the left hook.
14:35The work's decent from Garner, he just needs to tuck that chin down.
14:39And they both got really good engines,
14:41and that's what makes this, as the spike goes on, it's going to get even better.
14:45And the experiences with Ruiz Belotti, for the more eye-catching names,
14:53even though Ryan Garner has the European belt.
14:57Again, he tries to sort of hook come uppercut.
14:59He comes up with those tricks, Ryan Garner, unpredictable and effective.
15:04Lovely one-two there from Garner as well.
15:07Real solid shot, he's taken a while, Belotti.
15:10But they are going to just slow you down a little bit, aren't they?
15:17Do you think Belotti needs to make it a rough fight now, Dan?
15:19I think so, lean on, work the body, hit the shoulders, hit it, and there's the shot.
15:23That is the left hook that he's got to be throwing.
15:25Take the step back, throw the left hook.
15:27Stay nice and low with it.
15:28Exactly.
15:33Intense atmosphere, intense fight.
15:36Ruiz Belotti just looks down at us at rimside.
15:38I wonder how he's feeling at this stage.
15:42A third of the way through, and tonight more boxing for you on the zone.
15:48It's the return of the quote Clarissa Shields in Detroit,
15:53defending her undisputed heavyweight championship against the New Zealander.
15:57Lani Daniels, that's tonight.
16:00So, a doubleheader, UK and US.
16:04And then August the 23rd, it's Altringham for this one.
16:09And it is terrific.
16:11Jack Rafferty and Mark Chamberlain.
16:15It's sort of like this one, isn't it?
16:17Yeah, it's a really, really good fight.
16:19A must win for both there as well.
16:21And this one really starting to come alive now.
16:23Really good, intriguing contest between two very good fighters.
16:27Second's out.
16:28Tight rounds, Cal.
16:29How are you seeing it?
16:30Well, that was interesting, Cal, thanks for that.
16:46Slight audio problem, Cal, are you with us?
16:49Yeah, I'm with your hand.
16:50There we go.
16:51There was a right hand there from Garner.
16:53Just bent in the knees.
16:55How are you assessing it?
16:56I think that the Garner's in front.
16:58Some of the rounds have been close, but I think he's just been landing some of the cleaner work.
17:01What's annoying me a little bit about Garner's performance is you can see Bilotti, what he's trying to do.
17:06He's trying to land that left hook.
17:08Garner's mentioned it, but Garner's keeping his chin high in the air, as we've talked about, or as you guys have talked about.
17:16But he's kind of, he's rushing him every now and again and just swarming him.
17:20A bit like if you remember when Josh Warrington fought me, he just closed the distance and kind of almost ambushed me at times.
17:27And I think that's what Bilotti's doing here.
17:28I don't think it's enough for him to win the round yet, though.
17:31Good night that was.
17:32Thank you, Barry, for that.
17:34Disrupting the ribbon, though.
17:35Yeah, absolutely, that's what he's doing.
17:37And I think there's a right hand that he's thrown, he's leaning outside and trying to land that right hand as well.
17:43Bilotti, I think that's a good shot for him to land.
17:45Oh, that's nice.
17:46Screw shot to the left, followed by the right hand, good work.
17:49He brought the feet in at the same time as the hands.
17:51That was good.
17:52The movement was terrific.
17:53There's a right hand from Ryan Garner.
17:55Cameos, patches.
17:57It looks like he could become world-class, Garner.
18:00Yeah, look, I think he just struggles to get to grip through the hand speed when he really lets the shots go properly, Garner.
18:09So Bilotti again, he needs to just get a ribbon behind the jab.
18:12Try and rough up Garner as well and look for that left hook.
18:15But how many times have Bilotti dipped to the left, like you said, and just not throwing that left hook?
18:19It's been there for him, he turned the body in the right angle.
18:22You've just got to just let that shot go.
18:27Gloves high, reach Bilotti on the move.
18:30Thinking about how he can just disrupt Garner, who is winning some of these rounds and forging ahead.
18:38What Bilotti can do is slow down for a second.
18:42Once he slows down, that gives Garner more time to produce the better work.
18:45As Kyle was saying, he's got to rush him. Consistently going to rush him.
18:49Making a real dirty, nasty, messy fight.
18:52It's out of range with the jab, Garner.
19:01Bilotti's always had a good jab, not using it that much tonight.
19:05But look, he's missing Garner because of the footwork.
19:08That's really good work though from Garner, but he's missing on a few occasions before that because of the good footwork of Bilotti.
19:14But he needs to throw once he's missed the shots of Garner, let those shots go.
19:19More punches though. Quality from Garner, surely catching the eye of the three judges.
19:26Bilotti digging in, trying to get those body shots going, but there's a solid composed look to Ryan Garner.
19:34And I agree with Barry, I love his balance.
19:37He's standing between rounds with Wayne Batten, as ever, by his side.
19:49Just keep your shot.
19:51Yeah?
19:52Yeah?
19:53Right, right, right.
19:55Yeah?
19:56Yeah?
19:57Well, I think they'll be standing in the corner more of the same, more of the same.
20:10Keep the chin down.
20:11Keep nice and sharp.
20:12Keep that variation flowing.
20:14It seems to be frustrating, Bilotti, the angles.
20:17The arsenal of shots has been very impressive.
20:21Look, they come from all angles.
20:24The head roll after, very, very impressive.
20:26And I think for Bilotti, punch off the misses.
20:31Get that left hook into play.
20:3428-year-old Ryan Garner, fight number 18, Ruiz Bilotti, six years older,
20:40in his 26th professional outing.
20:44His career goes way back.
20:46Ruiz Bilotti, a very good amateur.
20:49And he turned over a decade ago.
20:53It's been a great career, an intriguing one.
20:57And one that's really found form recently.
21:01But he just is in danger of letting this slip away, I feel.
21:06As you said though, two phases, if you like.
21:08Two chapters of his career.
21:10The way he bounced back after the defeat.
21:12Back-to-back Jordan Gill, then Raymond Ford.
21:14I think it's six or seven on the spin now.
21:16And I understand what you're saying there, Adam.
21:18But I don't think he's indeed letting it slip away.
21:21I think he is trying to close the gap.
21:23I mean, but he also, he's felt the weight of the punches from Garner.
21:26So what we're trying to say, what he should be doing,
21:29make it dirty, you know, push the pace on.
21:31But you've still got to walk into the shots, haven't you?
21:33You know what I mean? There's still punches coming your way.
21:35That's exactly what he's doing there.
21:37He's just gone a bit long with the left hook there.
21:39He can allow Garner just to get a bit closer to him
21:42so he can get more angle on that left hook.
21:44But that is exactly what he needs to be doing on the flip side.
21:47Garner, I mean, moving forward, even in this fight,
21:50but moving forward, that chin needs to get down.
21:53The little thing with the feet there from Garner.
21:55Introducing that now, I think at this stage, is going to help him.
21:59And these raiding combinations.
22:01Belloni looking for that left hook.
22:02Good shot.
22:03Just a wildly misses.
22:06Two right hands on Garner, wasn't it?
22:08Yeah, what I mean, Barry, is if he lets some of these rounds
22:11slip away from judges.
22:13I'm feeling Garner's doing the more impressive work
22:15and he's on home soil.
22:17Belloni's going to have a lot to do in the second half of this fight.
22:20Well, I think he has got a lot to do.
22:22I think even though he's being competitive,
22:24I don't think he's winning any of the rounds, in my opinion.
22:26So, you have to think that Garner's England tour
22:29is wrong, purchasing most of his punches.
22:31But this is what Calva says.
22:34Just rush and make it dirty.
22:35Good left hand, finally, for Belloni.
22:37Belloni does get through.
22:39Garner takes it.
22:40Best punch of the fight from the man from South Oxley.
22:43Yeah, he was looking to hold on as well there, Garner.
22:45Yeah, the leg's just slightly dipped.
22:47And can Rhys Bellotti find another
22:52to really get Garner going?
22:54But back he comes.
22:55The Southampton man, action, holding up here in the sixth round in Bournemouth.
23:01He's looking to roll the dice more with that left hook now, Bellotti.
23:05It's just the angle of some of the shots from Garner just opening up the defence here, Bellotti.
23:10Yeah, he's a bag of tricks.
23:12He really is.
23:13Unorthodox at times.
23:14The way he moves them.
23:16He'll fire in shots which you're not expecting at that time.
23:20That's how I am.
23:23It's all I like to see from Garner.
23:25He's just taking a little step to the right.
23:26Like half a pivot to the right.
23:28Just a little spin.
23:29And then he opens up that left hook.
23:31Lovely there for him.
23:32Got a lot of blood from the nose of Ryan Garner.
23:34Bellotti did better in that round.
23:36Oh, good.
23:39Can you see?
23:40Yeah?
23:41Right, listen.
23:42Now, listen.
23:43Relax.
23:44Listen.
23:45On the road, don't stay there.
23:48Just tie him up or tie it up.
23:50Easy.
23:51You're controlling it from the centre of the ring.
23:53You're controlling it.
23:54When back, there's Jimmys that are not far from St Mary's.
23:57With Mark Chamberlain in Portsmouth.
24:00Making some noise down here.
24:02And Chris Billamsmith from Bournemouth.
24:04former than Ryan from Southampton great times and Pilotti well it was certainly
24:10this his shot of the fight wasn't it yeah it's a lovely left hook and again
24:15what Kyle was saying what Dan was saying about just just having to rush him and
24:18force the pace and when he did that and then his hands go he's had to be the
24:23best shot of the night for himself so more of that but it takes a lot of energy
24:26and a lot of risk attached to walking on the shot from Ghana who for me just
24:31gotta start moving his feet a little bit more on that semi circle in front of the body and I
24:34think you know this it can make it an easier night for himself then it's
24:39becoming right now second half of this intriguing compelling battle the first
24:43time the British Commonwealth and European super featherweight titles have been
24:47fought since February 2006 when Alex Arthur beat Ricky Burns but the fight we
24:54remember was for the Lonsdale belt with Alex Arthur and Michael Gomez one of the
24:59the great great fights wasn't it Barry in your division it was absolutely fantastic it really
25:04was know Alex Arthur told him the big things he went on to achieve big things but
25:08Michael Gomez one of the toughest guys of his generation Alex Arthur became world
25:12champion Ricky Burns a three weight world champion I wonder if one of these two will
25:18be I want to bring Carl in because I know you spar with both of them how you
25:23believe sensing it in there Ghana winning but Belotti back in it okay yeah I'm
25:28giving Ghana all around bloody the rounds are close though and it doesn't
25:33really give a true reflection on the fake but I have Ghana at this stage in a
25:37landslide but I'm liking some of the stuff that Belotti's doing some of the stuff
25:42that the Garner's doing I've seen him complain once or twice as well which isn't
25:46normally like him with maybe a sound of frustration but blood that he's doing
25:50okay here but again it's not enough for me to give him the rounds how you sing it
25:54down I think it's a lot in the second and the last round I've got it for to Ghana
25:59yeah I'm all in line with Cal I think but I might even nick the last one maybe
26:03but I think Ghana's in full control and he is again now
26:06the good work being spurred on by the feverish crowd here the intensity of this
26:18Bournemouth International Centre with a bank of seats almost on top of you and
26:23everybody having a great time down on the South Coast summer holidays and Ryan
26:28Garner is starting to really deliver. Rhys Belotti just looks at his corner there
26:33frustrating. A lot of pressures there from Ghana here especially with the
26:36feet that front foot look stepping in with the jab just cutting the ring
26:41making the ring a little bit smaller here for Belotti. And the body language is
26:45very positive from Ghana looks strong doesn't he aggressive on that front foot
26:50letting the shots go nicely with quick hands good the head movement the roll
26:54under the work the impressive work. But again Darren with that it's all in the
26:59centre of his stance still isn't it so he can dip his legs and he's not off balance
27:02he's not gonna be hit off balance. You always feel he can throw off of that as well
27:05he's always in a position. He's found a wonderful rhythm Rhys Belotti in his last
27:11few performances with his boxing he hasn't managed to do that tonight that's
27:15credit to Ryan Garner for offsetting him at times a nice work from Garner he's been
27:21stopped a couple of times Belotti in his career and he's just walking into a few
27:26more now. Again that's all about that we're all saying we've got to rush his work but that was an example of be
27:31careful what you wish for if he walked onto a good left hook there Belotti. Good one for Ryan Garner.
27:36Don't fall in
27:41get your faint working a little bit more Rhys.
27:45Gladiator Rhys Belotti
27:48he'll want to dig really deep and eek out this if he can but the body language isn't great to me you know him well Darren.
27:58Yeah he's been there he's done it he uh he won't be worried he may be slightly frustrated and I think it's more down to that the speed of uh
28:09uh of his opponent Garner who's looking for the shot that I'd like to see Belotti throw.
28:15That left hook he just took a little step out of range just glanced
28:19the target
28:21He needs to liven up a little bit here hands feet
28:25intensity
28:26Trying to take this flow away from Garner
28:29Terry Stewart, Jimmy Mac, Jr in the corner plenty of experience there
28:33for Rhys Belotti the
28:35battle-hardened veteran I guess now but 34
28:39Alexander Usyk's 38 what's age now?
28:42Oh good one time there from Belotti
28:44Lovely shot
28:45A reminder to Garner he's got to stay switched on nothing silly
28:52Oh lovely real solid work
28:54real solid work there from Garner
28:57You can see there
28:58punches thrown huge amount more by Garner
29:02landed in round seven ten eight
29:06Nice double left hook as well from Garner
29:08I think Belotti's sensed he's really got to
29:11be
29:12just trying to land more clean I think
29:15but it's mentally it's the mental touch I see that Belotti needs because
29:19yeah the yeah the decent round in round seven
29:21arguably won that round and then in round six
29:24sorry in round seven
29:25Garner came out and had a fantastic round
29:27and and that's
29:28it's
29:29Oh it breaks your heart
29:30it does break your heart
29:31soul-destroying
29:32when you think you've got a foothold in the contest
29:34and back comes your opponent
29:35for Garner he needs to build on that
29:38keep going keep plugging away
29:40I'll tell you what he throws a lovely straight free shot combination
29:43whether he goes left right left or right left right
29:46throws it so well brings the feet in with the shot
29:49Yeah we call that a phantom
29:51Back comes Belotti
29:53digging in here biting down on the gum shield
29:56is Rhys
29:57and
29:58Garner still open at time so
30:01Belotti with a bit of a spring to his step
30:05He's a good overhand right again that left hook's there he
30:08he's in the position to really turn the hips into the left hook
30:14Just controlled it hasn't he in this round again
30:16a couple of good right hands of when to start the round
30:19just a second ago here
30:20from Belotti but
30:21apart from that
30:22and that's the story of the most of the fight apart from that
30:25the better work and the most solid work is coming from Garner
30:28Do you know that right hand has landed a couple of times and maybe
30:32each round and he
30:34Belotti throws it really well
30:35he leans off to the left and just throws it kind of straight
30:38down the middle almost but because he's leaning it looks like a hook almost
30:41but
30:42it's a shot that's
30:43hit Garner pretty clean
30:44It's a lovely shot isn't it Carl
30:46Yeah great shot
30:47And again
30:48he's landed free
30:50in this round
30:52Yeah better from Rhys
30:54the bomber Belotti
30:55British and Commonwealth champion
30:57Ryan Garner
30:58not having as good a round
31:01tip for talent times but
31:03a right hand was good from
31:05the Southampton man and I'm sure he's won the majority of the first half of the fight
31:10Oh lovely again there from Garner
31:13Do you know what
31:14Garner's mean pop-up pop-up's career has been his
31:17outside of the ring not inside the ring
31:20but when he's shown commitment to his camp and his training
31:24like he has now
31:25look at the energy he has
31:26look at the focus
31:27He's knuckled right down
31:28I bumped into him in a service station a few weeks ago and he was just back from sparring
31:33he's taken this really seriously now
31:36this career
31:37everything is about
31:38his profession
31:40the former carpenter
31:41in with the former electrician
31:43Rhys Belotti
31:45Big breaths for me
31:46Both great pros
31:48Yeah
31:49Yeah
31:50Listen
31:51Look at the people
31:52I'm sorry
31:53I'm sorry
31:54I'm sorry
31:55I'm sorry
31:56Yeah
31:57Whichever way you like it
32:01Belotti is a good win on anyone's record
32:04If you beat Belotti that's a good win that is because you know he makes you work for it
32:08he's making Garner work for it tonight
32:10but Garner is just for me just a step ahead in almost every round
32:14He's lost five times
32:16Rhys Belotti went for a really bad spell in his career
32:21stopped by Ryan Dole
32:23Ryan Walsh beat him on points
32:24that was a close one
32:26Raymond Ford
32:27Good
32:28Raymond Ford
32:29Absolutely no disgrace there in three rounds
32:33But he's been a terrific stalwart for British boxing, Rhys Belotti
32:37And you're right, a win over him is a great win
32:40He had a good one over Archie Sharp as well, he was undefeated
32:44Ryan Garner, so he's ticking the boxes now
32:47and Frank Warren is a promoter not with us tonight but he'll be watching and impressed with his charge
32:52and hoping he can get that big fight at St. Mary's
32:56Four rounds left, can Rhys Belotti turn it around here?
33:00Yeah, that was a big win there against Archie Sharp as you say he was 25-0 there
33:04so just would have done the world of good as far as confidence is concerned
33:09and he's following up that performance with this here
33:13That's how Karl's got it unofficially
33:15everything to Garner, a little hard on Belotti
33:18No, I mean, I've given Belotti one round more than Karl has
33:22but I mean, it's one of those fights that won't reflect the effort
33:26Yeah, it's competitive, I've got Belotti winning a couple for sure
33:30but Garner, I think he said it there, just a step ahead, the speed, the ferocity
33:37the freshness, the freshness perhaps, yeah
33:40but then you're seeing patches, the experience come through for Belotti
33:44what he does there, leaning on, throwing the shot, being busy
33:48with his lead, hand with the hooks inside
33:51Karl, when you sparred these guys, did you feel that one of them could go on and become a world champion?
33:56Yeah, Garner, I sparred him when he was only a kid, he was 18 but he looked like he was 15
34:01and I said early on he filled me in and that's exactly what happened
34:06And that's honest, I love hearing that Karl
34:09and that's Ryan Garner, look, if he gets this victory tonight
34:14undefeated still with this support as well
34:17It's to step in the right direction, isn't it?
34:19It's not going to carry the way, I think, stay at this level for a couple of fights more
34:23just to get that more experience, time's on your side
34:26unless you get the opportunity to take an opportunity for the world title
34:29but, I mean, you've got a good fan base, he's a good talent
34:32you've got to win this fight first
34:34Yeah, yeah
34:35And we know about Belotti, while he's on his feet, he's always dangerous
34:39But as you say, he's doing the right thing, moving in the right direction
34:44And this, a win against Belotti, is a real confidence booster
34:50because you know you've got to win it, you've got to be on point to beat him
34:53He's going to test your fitness, your stamina, your mental fortitude you want to push through
34:58Again, again, I just feel that left hook, throws the right hand, he lands the shot
35:03doesn't cause any damage, but he's just in the correct position to throw one hell of a left hook
35:09But what it's looking like is the right fight at the right time for Ryan Garner
35:17Nice countering shot there, Belotti
35:19It'd be fantastic there, wasn't it, just skipping back all the distance
35:26You see that right eye stand, the close look were there from Belotti
35:30That's the combinations you were talking about
35:32Exactly, yeah, a change of tempo here, a flurry of shots then go again would be interesting from Garner
35:38You've got to throw him into a fight there, yeah, got to win these rounds, yeah, 10, 11, 12, got to win these rounds, yeah
35:55You're right? Yeah
35:56Quiet word from Jimmy Mack in the corner
36:13And he continues to stand, Ryan Garner, a little wink for his corner men, tight team
36:23This is a man who's, yes, had his issues, but he's fought through them
36:29And you get the feeling that this is business now
36:33And the business is a route to a world title
36:37I'll tell you what, look, it's a 34-year-old versus a 27-year-old
36:40And that's showing, you can see that in there
36:43But the strange thing is that he didn't look at 34-year-old in his last six outings, Rhys Belotti
36:49So you've got to hand credit to Ryan Garner, not just for age, but for the way he's outmanoeuvred Belotti here
36:56I don't think he's necessarily looking at there, I mean, he's still trying to win the fight, isn't he?
37:01He's just coming in as a guy who's, I mean
37:04It's just this, I just think speed, sort of ferocity coming from the younger man
37:13Is he a better fighter, Ryan Garner? If you look at Rhys Belotti's career and Ryan Garner's
37:18Probably, I mean, talented-wise, you don't mean he had a better fighter
37:21He might have more natural talent than him, and I think that's showing right now
37:25But I mean, that can be, you can outdo someone, you can beat someone who's got more talent than you
37:29But it's also about timing, matchmaking
37:31Yeah, of course it is, but it's a good win
37:34I keep saying that, I've got to keep saying it
37:36The age won't be an issue, it's a good win if he beats Belotti
37:40And he's beaten him right now, for sure
37:42Really lovely work, juicy combination again from Ryan Garner
37:48Again, I know I keep saying it all the time, but he can do that because of the balance he has
37:53When he's moving back, he's coming forward, stepping to the side, he's always in the centre of his stance
37:58He can always swivel and turn into a shot
38:00And judging the distance really, really well now as his rounds are ticking on
38:04Not just that, he's exciting to watch every time, isn't he? And that's why the fans love him
38:09Yep, non-stop, very busy, quick hands as we say, carries a pop
38:14He's down to Belotti now, what can he find?
38:18Again, walking onto shots
38:23And he's just slowed down a little bit, hasn't he, Belotti? Not a lot, just a little bit
38:27That's just enough for Garner to just let the combinations go
38:31And just probably be a little more accurate than he was earlier on
38:34Good work from Garner, crowd revving up again
38:38And, uh, Rhys Belotti finding it hard in there
38:45He feels it, Garner, then he's at the pace a little bit
38:49Yeah, more intent
38:50With the intensity, yeah
38:57Just waiting there, Belotti, they're getting frustrated with him in the corner
39:01The body's just not doing what his brain wants it to do
39:04And Garner's punishing him
39:06This is a big tenth for the Southampton man
39:09Garner should change his rhythm, though, and roll into a shot
39:12He's jumping in, he's getting the angle
39:14Just try the conventional roll into a left hook
39:16It'll work for him
39:18It's not a frantic change in pace, but he's just upped it, hasn't he?
39:22Ever so slightly, he just put his foot on the gas
39:24And got to work
39:26It's an intelligent gear change from Ryan Garner
39:30Just when Rhys Belotti was beginning to struggle
39:33And it's been a very good session
39:35Belotti digging hard and deep
39:38And he'll keep trying
39:41What a fighter, it's just not his night
39:44And he's got six minutes to somehow
39:47Somehow turn this around
39:49And we know he's got power
39:51But can he find it?
39:54Not sure
39:55I mean, you never know
39:57But he's shown his best shots in the fight
40:00And they haven't had an effect on Garner
40:02Even when he's taking him
40:03And you're asking a man who's tried so hard already
40:06Who's looking tired
40:07To do something extraordinary
40:10I mean, he's going to go out and try this
40:11But we know what he's like
40:12He's going to come out full-blooded
40:13And do everything he can to win
40:15But there's a caveat to that
40:16You walk onto a bigger shot from a guy
40:19In the other corner
40:20Who's far fresher
40:21It's one of those easier said than done
40:23We're all saying what Belotti should be doing
40:25But being able to do it
40:26Is another thing
40:28Another good watch
40:34Live on the zone
40:35What a July it has been
40:38Ryan Garner putting on a really good performance
40:41In front of his beloved faithful on the south coast
40:45Six minutes away from being crowned British and Commonwealth champion
40:49To add to his European title
40:51Rhys Belotti needs one of those big blockbuster finishes
40:55A left hook from somewhere
40:57But Garner is punishing him now
40:59Yeah, more of the same if you're Garner
41:01And if you're Belotti
41:02Let's just go out swinging
41:03Let your hands go
41:04Two rounds to find something special
41:07He's digging his feet down now
41:09And Garner
41:10Watch how he turns in with the feet now
41:12And he throws the shots
41:13He's felt something with Belotti there
41:16He felt a little bit of
41:17Just not the same strength coming forward
41:19Lack of push in the punches
41:22Eight stoppages on the record
41:25For Ryan Garner
41:27Tends to go the distance more at this sort of level now
41:31But he's a big looking super featherweight
41:35Broad shoulders
41:37Strong
41:38But I think it's his speed
41:40His unpredictability
41:41His rhythm
41:42I'll tell you what as well
41:43They're breezing through this 12 rounder
41:47Well they're very, very good aren't they?
41:49The two of them
41:50And they're straight down to work
41:51No nonsense
41:52It's a frantic pace isn't it?
41:54There hasn't really been a lot in action
41:56Even when it's been messy like that
41:57They're still trying to work away
41:59Oh lovely
42:03Really nice that
42:05Belotti is such a fit man
42:07I mean the last sort of shot in this time of the fight
42:09Is the one that puts you on your knee
42:15Your heart goes to Rhys Belotti
42:17A little bit
42:18A little bit
42:19Have they been on such great form
42:21And
42:22Just turned into a little bit of a nightmare tonight
42:25And you want him to get through it
42:27Oh but Adam
42:28I understand what you're saying
42:29But I mean
42:30He's been living the dream
42:31Yeah
42:32He never thought he'd get that British title over the line
42:34He got it
42:35And he never thought he'd be boxing for the European title
42:37In an atmosphere like this
42:39And he is
42:40Good shot from Garner
42:42Again the combinations
42:43Belotti trying to come back
42:44You're right
42:45He's done brilliantly
42:46Last year and a half
42:47But he'll be disappointed
42:48Because I really think he fancied this
42:50I thought he
42:51Think he thought he'd be too experienced
42:53And no too much for Garner
42:55Oh yeah
42:56He properly fancied this
42:57But no one will ever be able to take away that British and Commonwealth title
43:01Achievements from him
43:02Did you know what's been the difference for Garner recently?
43:07All the skill and the ability and all
43:09Is the application, dedication
43:11The things you can do for yourself
43:13Discipline
43:14That makes you a good fighter
43:15Great work now
43:17From Ryan Garner
43:1820 seconds left in the 11th
43:20And the last couple of rounds
43:22He's been really impressive
43:24And getting more meat into the punches
43:26And Belotti's doing well here to get through
43:29He's got to be careful with that
43:31Just falling over the front foot
43:33He's walking on to another shot there from Garner
43:37Oh it's really tough this
43:38For Rhys
43:41What a warrior
43:43In the corner
43:44I won't say what he said
43:45But absolutely superb
43:51And we say it all the time
43:52In the biggest fight of your life
43:54You want to put on your best performance
43:55If you can
43:56And that's what we're seeing from Garner here
43:58What do you think Karl?
44:00You spar with him
44:02You thought he could go all the way to the very top
44:05He's been great tonight
44:07Yeah he has
44:08He's looked good
44:09I have seen him perform better
44:11If I'm being honest
44:12There's been a few silly mistakes from time to time
44:15That he's made
44:16That he doesn't have to make
44:18But I think it's a good performance
44:20And one that he's really in control with this fight
44:22I did actually give Bellotti a round
44:24I think it was a couple of rounds ago
44:26But like I said
44:28My scorecard doesn't reflect
44:30High the effort in the fight from Bellotti
44:32The rounds have gone up reasonably close
44:34Absolutely
44:35And look at the respect there between the pair
44:38High tempo
44:39Both have played their part
44:40Rhys Bellotti
44:42Has given it absolutely everything
44:44As he always does
44:46But Ryan Garner's just been a step ahead
44:48His movement's been good
44:50His balance as Barry was pointing out
44:52Terrific
44:53Some of the combinations Darren
44:55That you were saying
44:56And it's all round a good performance
44:58Yeah yeah
44:59Ticks a lot of boxes
45:00The variation
45:01The movement
45:02He's confused Bellotti as well
45:05With the way that the shots have come out
45:08Unorthodox at times
45:10Oh
45:11Oh he's coming down
45:12Again
45:13Bit shot from Garner
45:14And Bellotti in trouble
45:15Inside
45:16The opening minute of the last
45:18And he's getting that out
45:19Victor Loughran has stepped it
45:21He saved Rhys Bellotti
45:23And Ryan Garner
45:25Well he puts the icing on the cake here
45:28On the south coast
45:30He boxed really well
45:32All through the fight
45:33And he gets the stoppage win
45:35And he is a triple champion
45:37And the British
45:39And Commonwealth
45:40Super featherweight titles
45:42To the European one
45:43He won in the spring
45:45And Ryan Garner
45:47Celebrates
45:48With his Southampton
45:50Barby army
45:51And I think we go to St Mary's next summer
45:53I'll show you what
45:54That was a fantastic performance
45:56And a brilliant ending
45:58And there's something
45:59In getting a stoppage
46:00In the final round
46:01It shows you
46:02Carry your power
46:03It shows you
46:04How hard you've trained
46:05How conditioned you are
46:06And you'd have to say
46:08A lot of boxes ticked there tonight
46:10Barry
46:11One thing
46:12That's brilliant refereeing that is
46:13That he was done
46:14I mean
46:15The first shot that he
46:16Caught by the temple
46:17He dipped his legs
46:18He just ended up
46:19But he was just a tag
46:20But he was just a target
46:21To be hit
46:22And Garner hit
46:23With some really cracking shots
46:24I mean
46:25That's a great performance
46:26Of Garner
46:27Because
46:28And Karl might be so right
46:29He's looked better in some fights
46:30But this is a fight
46:31Where the guy's gonna push you
46:32Force you to make mistakes
46:33And he did make a few mistakes
46:35But he was brilliant
46:36I think he was fantastic
46:38He made a really good fight
46:40Very, very ordinary
46:41And he dominated almost every round
46:44Punched perfect in many ways
46:46That's a way to win
46:49That's a way to defend
46:50The European title for sure
46:58Just listen to this
47:00They are mad for Ryan Garner
47:03What a performance
47:05Totally agree with Barry
47:06Victor Lachlan
47:07Stepped in at exactly the right time
47:09That was a long time
47:10To go in the round
47:12And as much as your heart
47:13Went for
47:14Reece Bellotti
47:15To go the distance
47:16It was a good stop
47:17Yeah, I think he was spot on as well
47:18Way down on the cards
47:19But what a way to finish the show
47:21The crowd are going mad
47:23Honestly, what a performance
47:24Punt's perfect
47:25And there's some big, big nights ahead
47:28For Ryan Garner
47:29Look at the variation
47:30Look at that
47:31The Chibu was coming higher
47:32Garner
47:33But it was high there
47:34Of Bellotti in that final round
47:35And that allowed Garner
47:37To find that left
47:38But
47:39A brilliant performance
47:41I'll tell you what
47:42There's going to be some big nights
47:44In and around
47:45Whether it be Southampton
47:46Or Bournemouth
47:47This man's going places
47:49Stunning on the south coast
47:55The Piranha
47:59Ryan Garner
48:00With his biggest win
48:03Stopping Reece Bellotti
48:05In the 12th round
48:07And now he goes home
48:09With three titles
48:11And
48:13Could he
48:14As Karl Frampton believes
48:15Become a world champion
48:17In the next year
48:18It's over to you Frank
48:20To get the big fight at St Mary's
48:22I tell you what
48:24He'll sell it out
48:25To sell it out
48:31Credit to Reece Bellotti
48:32But it's Ryan Garner's night
48:39Esports
