00:00Okay boxers we went over the instructions earlier as a reminder obey
00:07my commands at all times protect yourself at all times touch him up good
00:10luck you know Timmy when we were just up on the set yeah and Mark Kriegel was
00:16giving us an outstanding perspective on Shushu Carrington and going through all
00:21the plot twists of the featherweight division why this fight can't happen
00:24that fight can't happen champions that exist and Shushu having to remain
00:28patience one of the things I was thinking about as Mark was saying that is and
00:33you brought up you said trap fight right you don't know a lot about a guy like
00:37Hayda but you know this he's got a zero in the lost couple he's undefeated and
00:43anytime you have an undefeated fighter you understand a certain mentality you got
00:48to teach him how to lose right that's right you got to teach him how to lose
00:51but at the same time what Mark was alluding to was Shushu
00:57someone trying to get may possibly get complacent right yeah you don't want to
01:00look ahead but you gotta take care of what's in front of you at all times in
01:05this sport you can never look down the road because you have one mistake one
01:09hiccup and it'd be all she wrote man and he addressed that when he was sitting with
01:13our entire crew yesterday talking about you go up against a fighter who to
01:17American fight fans to American trainers he's somewhat unknown you can't
01:22underestimate him you gotta mentally lock in and ask yourself to be your best
01:27version of yourself and not think ahead so here we are round number one with Hayda and
01:32Carrington so I'm interested in the activity of Hayda okay again 70 punches on average he
01:39throws around now that could work for him just kind of keep Shushu's hands in his pocket or that'll
01:46work against him because Shushu's a prolific counter puncher and he likes when guys throw at him
01:50because he likes to remain that big mid-range to be able to counter those shots he has really good
01:56eyes at mid-range
01:57it's a fill-out route right here you know sometimes when you fight fighters that are
02:06not super technical technical like you are sometimes it's hard to find their rhythm or their timing
02:12right now he's just taking his time right now he's picking and poking he's seeing what Hayda has
02:19right there he absorbed a shot on his glove just to feel the power
02:23you're just touching him with a four punch combination and seeing Hayda that's the one
02:35thing about Hayda he just lets his hands go he don't load up with shots he just has heavy hands
02:39good defense right there from Shushu getting away from that double jab yeah Hayda has a good jab
02:54that's one thing that I see but I also see Hayda be reacting to those those faints from Shushu's see
03:01when you're fainting like that you can get your your fighter you can freeze him you can get him out of
03:05position as well and Shushu I'm looking for that left hook to come over the top for him
03:10he fainting him with the jab the left hook will come around shoot him right on that chin it might be
03:15lights out
03:16jab again from Hayda but the right hand doesn't come behind it
03:26so coming to the end of a feel about round number one between these two undefeated featherweights here in New York
03:56three
04:03lock
04:06cat
04:07jack
04:14jack
04:20jack
04:22jack
04:24round number two after that first round you know there were things as much as we could say hey i
04:43feel about brown there were things that were established seeds that were planted in round
04:48number one timmy you plant seeds especially with the jab but also with the feints you know
04:53shushu he understands that the sweet science of the game here this is what i'm talking about he got a
04:58reaction right here just from low faint right here you see him flick the jab out there just a low faint
05:02did you see the reaction yes that's a right hand that can fill that hole look he just took the
05:06picture right there momentarily he's like okay i'll go back to that maybe in the third maybe in
05:11the fourth round it's gonna be wide open for him see the total punches in that first round
05:16there's a right hand as he followed shushu straight back hate is able to land that right hand and then
05:23a left hook on the inside great great great but not nice turn right there from shushu being the
05:30matador right there getting back in the center of the ring where he's gonna have all the advantages
05:34the foot advantage hand speed as well and reach advantage now hitting levels with that jab probes to
05:48the body of hayda hayda right there lunging forward he's taking chances shushu right now he's not he's not
05:57staying close enough to be able to counter i'm sure shushu felt a little bit of that power test
06:09so he's gonna take his time he's gonna break him down and i would say start at the body that's how
06:12you break your opposition down you start downstairs i don't care where you come from you start hitting
06:17the fighter downstairs you're gonna start breaking down hayda just came in with a right hand again and
06:22shushu met him with a right hand to the body hayda has nine knockouts in his 14 previous fights
06:34first time here in american test his usw here oh good body work right there for me just taking
06:41advantage of the small openings around the guard you know fighters go up in that high guard you see that
06:46high guard that shushu's using you can come around the guard you can punch through the guard as well
06:51hayda just hitting those flanks investing in that body remember this is shushu's first 12 rounds
06:58so incredible preparation he gave to taking on that challenge a different approach he said they have
07:05to give good combination from carrington on the inside he's doing all the work in the pool the weights
07:11in the pool 13 foot deep pool and improving his endurance doing a lot of squats and shoulder presses as well
07:18but he definitely concentrated on the conditioning for this fight
07:25he hated someone fights off rhythm see that's off rhythm stuff right there that you're seeing
07:30he's jabbing on the front foot he's moving forward and jabbing at the same time
07:33nice little sneak attack right there but shushu's in slippery tonight
07:48too many weeks
07:51not deny it
07:53so
07:55but
07:55guests
07:57what'd you say
07:57by the side you'll see
07:58and my iphone
08:00again
08:00know
08:00in the behind
08:01and
08:02the video
08:02série
08:03i know
09:4321-0 is Xander Zayas.
09:45He has been a sensation.
09:47You see him warming up.
09:48This is the scene live backstage in his locker room.
09:51WBO junior middleweight world title fight.
09:53It's vacant right now.
09:55Could it be in the hands of the San Juan born Florida residing Xander Zayas?
10:00Oh.
10:04Shushu getting really comfortable, isn't he?
10:07Look at Hayda.
10:08A little defensive responsibility right there.
10:10Just leaning back, getting out of range.
10:12Shushu coming forward.
10:14Looking for some offense himself.
10:15Hayda, he's got a good jab.
10:17He's using that jab very well.
10:18Stabbing downstairs and up top.
10:21Got Shushu on his back foot.
10:22Hayden's already thrown over 70 jabs.
10:26Not landing at a high percentage, but throwing the jab.
10:29Being committed to it.
10:32And he got a long jab, too.
10:34You know, Shushu usually have the longer reach.
10:3872-inch reach.
10:39Hayden got a pretty big reach himself.
10:42Good body work right there from Shushu on the inside.
10:44There it goes right back to it, Timmy.
10:46He's placing that right hand just under that left elbow.
10:48Goes and tries to get right back to it again with the right hand.
10:50And where do you see the hands drop?
10:52Down low to protect from those body shots.
10:55That's going to leave an opening upstairs, Tess.
10:57Hayden on the inside himself for a moment.
11:02Working their hands to three.
11:03Right, right.
11:04Step back.
11:12A little level change right here from Shushu.
11:17Stabbing down low.
11:18But nothing came up top just yet.
11:20Oh, just missed with that.
11:26Nice counter.
11:26Counter with the right hand to the body as well.
11:29Man, that transition was fantastic.
11:33Shushu.
11:34You know, slipping, rolling shots.
11:35Coming back with short right hands.
11:37Right hand, meanwhile, by Hayden.
11:39It was just a glancing blow as he had him against the ropes.
11:41And Shushu digging in with three consecutive body punches.
11:45That was nasty.
11:46That was nasty.
11:46That was nasty.
11:46That was nasty.
11:46That was nasty.
13:10He's a little bit below his typical production but he has landed 30 of 131 total punches thrown.
13:16You want to know why he's low?
13:18Yeah, because of what's opposite.
13:21Exactly.
13:22Let's check in with Bernardo.
13:23What do you got, Bernie?
13:24To Kay Karoma.
13:25Asked him what he asked of.
13:27Shushu says, I want him to continue to box more, use his legs, but I want him to work to the body.
13:32That's what's going to weaken him.
13:33About his power, he says, nothing to worry about.
13:36I think he should be happy with what he's done to the body early on.
13:39We'll see if more of that develops Bernardo as these rounds go on.
13:42Kay Karoma, second fight with Shushu, 45 years old, long time associated with the U.S. Olympic team, was the chief assistant both in 2016 and 2020 for the U.S. Olympics with boxing.
13:53Well, that's good news.
13:58Shushu said they didn't have punching power.
14:00I remember I used to love going back to the corner and the first words Joel Diaz would say to me was like, can he punch?
14:07I'd either say yeah or nay.
14:09And depending on what I say, he gives me instructions.
14:12Yeah, but Timmy, you didn't really even care if a guy had punching power based on the fight of the years that you were in and who you were up against, including three with Manny Pacquiao.
14:20It was a mindset.
14:21Mindset.
14:22You had that mindset.
14:23That's why you have a Hall of Fame ring on your hand.
14:31See, this is going to serve Shushu because you're not going to beat him in the chess game.
14:35You're not.
14:36You know, punch for punch, tit for tat.
14:40You know, you go, I go.
14:41No.
14:42What Hader got to do, he got to bring the pain.
14:44He got to make Shushu fight.
14:46And he needs to focus on one thing.
14:48Focus on that body.
14:49You know, get those hands down so that way he can land something up top.
14:53But he's going to have to take a little bit more chances because Shushu, he going to dissect them.
14:57And sooner or later, Shushu's going to start landing shots like that.
15:01There's that countering opportunity.
15:02He got his timing down.
15:04Punching between punches.
15:06As you said, if you are a volume puncher like Hader, if you are willing to throw, you are going to create opportunities for somebody like Bruce Shushu Carrington.
15:16And we saw that moments ago here at round four.
15:19And the minute that Shushu take the jab away from Hader, it's over.
15:22It's over.
15:23It's going to be all downhill for Hader.
15:25And he's going to do that with right hands.
15:27You got to keep punishing Hader with right hands over the top.
15:31Or to the body.
15:32Good jab.
15:33Jab.
15:34And then that right hand to the body again.
15:35And then gives an angle.
15:36Leaking out to the right side.
15:37Comes back with a lead.
15:38Left hook.
15:39Shushu Carrington.
15:40Heck of a round.
15:41There it is.
15:42There it is.
15:43There it is.
16:41Shushu Carrington landed 21 of 38 punches in that fourth round.
16:59Twelve power punches.
17:00Tim, let's go back to the right hand that he scored moments ago.
17:03Yeah, a little lean back, a little shoulder roll.
17:06You're going to see right here, Shushu Carrington just timing.
17:09Paito on his way in, reaching with that right hand, go in, eat that right hand, right down the middle.
17:17Shushu with a 67 to 38 connect advantage in a fight that will draw him closer to fighting for a featherweight world championship.
17:27He's had to be very patient along the way in an interesting division.
17:31Let's go to Mark Creebill to see how he scored it.
17:36Mark?
17:37You guys remember Jeremiah Nakathila?
17:39Of course.
17:40Okay, Hayter's like Nakathila light.
17:43He's had some moments maybe in the second round.
17:46But there's just a difference in class.
17:49This is as good and as complete as I've seen Shushu Carrington, Nakathila.
17:55Hayter's there for counter right on light.
17:5740-36, four rounds to none.
18:00Shushu Carrington.
18:05Now the work on the inside.
18:09Yeah, the Shushu's power don't seem to be affecting Hayter at all.
18:15You know, Hayter's took some on the chin.
18:17I don't know for how long, but however, as of right now, he's dealing with it all right.
18:20And he's getting hit clean with some shots.
18:23Clean right hands.
18:24That left hook is nearly available as well.
18:36Yeah, I just love the ring generalship and awareness of Shushu.
18:40Always in control.
18:42Always knows where he is in the ring.
18:44Spooks, where he's positioned, and how to get out of situations.
18:52See, look how comfortable he is in that pocket.
18:54Right there, he was trapped in the corner right there, but he looked comfy.
18:59Didn't look spooked at all.
19:03Now he's giving him different looks.
19:05That's why you're seeing him with the feet.
19:07He's giving him different looks.
19:08He's trying to deceive him to be able to get close, an inch closer, to get in the punching range.
19:13Hater right now is just getting mesmerized right now by Shushu with just his movements.
19:25His pre-engagement movements is mesmerizing him.
19:27He's getting hit with clean shots now.
19:28Yeah, as soon as he crossed that threshold moments ago, the right hand came in.
19:33Good body work, good body shot right there from Hater.
19:48But again, just like Kregel said, the class is just a different level, skill level.
19:55And I'm not going to lie, I was expecting a lot more from Hater, a lot more.
20:05Right in the pocket as they exchange, and Shushu likes what he sees.
20:09I'm not going to lie, I'm not going to lie, I'm not going to lie.
20:11Alright.
21:12Well, it's interesting how things change when you get deeper into a fight.
21:18So a lot of the talk we heard from Matthias Haida as to what the approach would be, how
21:24the fight would go.
21:25Then all of a sudden you go five rounds with Shushu Carrington.
21:29You understand what's opposite you, what's in front of you.
21:32You've talked about the skill level differential.
21:35And not quite, as you said, not quite what you expected from Haida.
21:40I mean, but you've got to give credit to Shushu.
21:42Of course.
21:42He's taking away all that volume that Haida likes to throw with.
21:47You know, he's not being stationary and being the target.
21:52Shushu Carrington with an 83-47 connect advantage.
22:04That bodywork got his attention.
22:06Good bodywork.
22:08There's Jorge Garcia, the 33-win Mexican veteran who came up with a career signature win against
22:17the previously undefeated U.S.
22:19Olympian Charles Conwell back in April.
22:21And with that, has put himself in position to fight for the WBO Junior Middleweight World
22:27Championship.
22:28The belt is vacant.
22:30Xander Zayas on one side, Jorge Garcia on the other.
22:33That is coming up in moments from right here in New York.
22:38Right.
22:39Step back.
22:39Step back.
22:42Keep this.
22:43Keep this.
22:44You're doing it.
22:48Yeah.
22:48Yeah.
22:48Yeah.
22:49Yeah.
22:49Yeah.
22:49Yeah.
22:49Yeah.
22:49Yeah.
22:51Yeah.
23:04Shushu got to shorten those shots up.
23:05Sometimes he gets a little bit wide, loads up a little bit on those shots.
23:09If he stops loading up, he'll be able to get hit, Hayden.
23:12But he's missing Hayden.
23:14See him load up.
23:16Oh, that's short right hand.
23:18He shortened up that right hand in that midst of the three.
23:21Three-punch combination.
23:23Yeah.
23:23Good work from Shushu Carrington.
23:25That's what we want to see.
23:26Give us something to talk about, Shushu.
23:30Now the work rate picks up as well.
23:33Let's go, Hayden.
23:34Hayden steps forward right into it.
23:36Yeah.
23:36Fight fire with fire as he came with a three-punch combination himself.
23:40And right back at it is Shushu Carrington.
23:43It's a good-looking sixth round.
23:44It's starting to heat up.
23:46And that's what we need to see.
23:47Because, look, I've seen it.
23:50I've been outskilled.
23:52You know, I fought guys that were more talented than I was.
23:55But, hey, look, I wanted him more than he did.
23:57That's right.
23:57You were never outhearted or lacking grit.
24:06Good right hand.
24:09Put back half of the sixth round between these two undefeated featherweights.
24:12End of six here at MSG.
24:14Ten!
24:14Ten!
24:14Ten!
24:14Ten!
24:42Ten!
25:01Ten!
25:05Tim, go back to that sixth round and some of the action that we just saw.
25:09Yeah, you want a great offense for yourself?
25:11Move those hands.
25:11That's it.
25:12Move those guards you saw that low guard that lead in down of Hayda
25:17Shushu coming from that crouch position he sees it boom right on the chin look Hayda's taking those shots very well
25:24I'm gonna say this if I was in Shushu's corner
25:26I'm gonna say focus on the body and look at the body numbers as you see the full
25:31CompuBox punch stats as Shushu Carrington Brooklyn's very own landing
25:3646 punches to the body it was 103 landed
25:40I would say give me three minutes on the body
25:45Keep breaking them down you're hurting them every time you hit him into the body Bernardo. What are they saying in the corner of Hayda?
25:53I just spoke to Nestor Tobias and he says look I need him to work to the body
25:57But more importantly he has to up his work rate to compete with Shushu. I completely agree with that Timmy
26:04He cannot be in this range. We've seen him down throwing like 37 punches around low 40s around
26:09He has to be the guy that's being the aggressor and he's afraid. What's gonna come back at him?
26:14I mean you gotta take the risk at a certain point, right?
26:16Yeah, I mean fighting in New York. I agree with you take the risk. There's a title on the line
26:21I don't care if it's interim title that means that you were next in line. That's what that means and that says it all
26:27And things happen things happen right in the sport every single day every second every minute you can be elevated to champion
26:34So the featherweight average is 16 punches landed in the round his previous fight
26:39He was over 20 tonight 8.4 enough set
26:44See that's what we come to see
26:46Shushu going to put a keep putting on that show. Yep
26:50Lead right hand folded up with the left is Shushu Carrington
26:53Right hand attempt right there big load up and step in from Hayter right there. He's still looking for that right hand
27:01He still believes he can knock out Shushu as long as he's here
27:06And at this point right with evil the athleticism and elusiveness and the counterpunching the only one that could beat
27:13Shushu right now at this point in this fight is Shushu if he makes a mistake and get caught with something
27:17He don't see and get hurt and get knocked out and as we know in this game that happens. Yes
27:22But at the same time I don't see that happening to us
27:28I'm just letting you know I don't see everything in all our years. I know what I'm just saying. I don't think that's gonna happen
27:35Should we're just touching him on the inside? Yeah
27:39Speed changes to those punches
27:43Now Hayter clubbing with right hands, but Shushu covering up and blocking those
27:52The experience although
28:02The experience although
28:04Shushu they got similar in you know fights
28:09Hayter's been he's been twelve rounds twice full
28:13For sure sure this is first twelve round about stepping up to twelve round status right here at MSG
28:18and Diana
28:20And seven
28:26five
28:37six
28:40five
28:41six
28:42five
29:43Impressive knockouts.
29:44It was last February of 24 that he had an unbelievable knockout against Bernard Torres.
29:51Of course, that's a night that many remember for stealing the show with his spot-on post-fight
29:57classic Mike Tyson impersonation in his interview with Bernardo Asuna.
30:02And he is a dynamic character, and right now he is in control against fellow unbeaten
30:09Mateus Hena.
30:10Maybe this isn't the type of performance, right?
30:18He's shut up.
30:19Easy word for Shiju.
30:20Yes.
30:20But maybe this opens up, will open up opportunities for him because he's looked so damn good, you
30:26know?
30:27Tonight, it's okay, you know?
30:29I mean, he's winning every round.
30:30It's spectacular.
30:31I'm not like, wow.
30:33He ain't wowed me yet.
30:34However, to get these other champions to face us, this could open up an opportunity test.
30:41Did you see Hayda just try to shake off that left hand?
30:44Yeah, I did see that.
30:45But I'll just say this.
30:50I mean, when you're able to hit a guy cleanly like that, man, and you don't do any damage
30:55like that, I mean, that tells me something.
30:59Nine knockouts in 15 fights.
31:03Now Hayda comes forward with a four-punch combination, include the right upper feather,
31:06which is glancing.
31:06So, my point is, if I'm Espinoza, and I'm looking at this right here, and I'm saying
31:16he's hit that guy with his best shot, he ain't go anywhere, and I know what I'm capable of
31:20doing.
31:21Rafael Espinoza, the featherweight champion.
31:23Oh, yeah.
31:24I'm saying, oh, I'm getting this right now before he even get even better.
31:28Make the fight happen.
31:29That's what I'm saying.
31:36Hayda with Shushu in the corner.
31:46Shushu giving just enough head movements that you want some.
31:49Come right in.
31:50Walk right back into this corner.
31:53And meanwhile, Shushu's going to fight himself out of that position, and he does so with two
31:58body shots and then a left hook, and Hayda backs up right to the center of the ring.
32:02With a trap.
32:03He set a trap, Tess.
32:04Lord of Men, high guard trap.
32:07He wants him to punch.
32:08He wants him to span some energy.
32:10He wants him to leave opening, so that way he can counter.
32:13Well, Machenko once did that upstairs in the big room.
32:18Coming to the end of eight, scheduled for 12, before we have our world championship fight,
32:23Shushu Carrington in the spotlight.
32:48There is Xander Zayas.
33:15And with his image on the big screen here at Madison Square Garden, the New York Puerto Rican fans are giving him support as he will fight for the Junior Middleweight World Championship in the WBO tonight.
33:30Of course, great support for Xander Zayas, his eighth fight here at MSG.
33:35But Shushu Carrington, who you're seeing right here, he says this is Shoe York City.
33:39The Puerto Rican fans always support him as well. He calls himself a Shoe-Yorican because the Puerto Rican fans have adopted him for so many of the Puerto Rican Day parade cards that are here at Madison Square Garden.
33:52So it's really a double dip between the Brooklyn fighter and then Xander Zayas, who will be wildly supported coming up in our World Championship main advantage.
34:00And round number nine, Mark Kregel, still a shutout, I assume, on your scorecard.
34:04You have it right, Joe. You know, maybe you're seeing why guys don't want to fight Shushu with or without a belt.
34:11You can talk about the lack of a knockout or knockdown. I don't really care about that.
34:16No matter what happens, he keeps throwing combinations, and that's the key to me.
34:20We're here for the Shushu show, Mark. That's what we're here for. Shushu show. That's what we're here for, Mark.
34:27I hear what you're saying. However, give me a show. Give me something to wow.
34:33Oh, good short right hand after he went down to the body by Shushu Carrington.
34:48Has a 147 to 82 connect advantage. He's landed 44% of his total punches.
34:5536% have been to the potty. He's landed 53 potty connects as he goes to the body.
35:01There were two punches to get it going. You see the level changes as well as the speed changes of the punches from Carrington.
35:09See, this is an opportunity for Shushu to make the referee get involved.
35:13You put so much punishment on this man, then the referee says, oh, I'm getting concerned. I'm getting concerned.
35:19You're taking too much punishment. The corner starts to worry about their opposition or their fighter as well.
35:24So look, I mean, there's a will, there's a way. Shushu has all the skills in the world.
35:28We want to see. We want to be entertained tonight. Put on the show, Shushu.
35:33Veteran Harvey Dock is our third man inside the ropes tonight.
35:38That's it.
35:48And now Hayter's scared to throw. And the body work is what's hurting him, Tess. The body work. Shushu got to pay attention downstairs. That's what's hurting him.
35:57Any time Shushu goes downstairs, you see Hayter. He defends his body.
36:01Hey, Karoma, Shushu's trainer, picked up on that very early on. They have been committed to it.
36:06He got to use the double left hook. So he going to have to slip outside, use the double left hook, get him to raise that hand up, go high, and then go drop down low.
36:15Drop down low and he'll be able to hit that liver. Nice.
36:29Hey.
38:06Need a little bit more work from Hayden.
38:19Hayden needs to let those hands go.
38:21I mean, look, his opportunity is just going by the wayside.
38:24It's fading every single round.
38:26Less and less work.
38:27He's going to need a knockout victory tonight.
38:30You know, we opened up the broadcast of this fight discussing the undefeated mentality.
38:36Yeah, you don't know a lot about a fighter who's fought mostly in Africa and makes his U.S. debut.
38:43But you do know when somebody's undefeated, the mentality, that mentality is not showing up as much, to your point, as we go on and on and on.
38:51And the skill gap becomes wider and wider and wider.
38:54Absolutely.
38:55This wasn't going to be no technical.
38:56I mean, it shouldn't have been a technical battle for Hayden.
38:59I mean, again, put the pressure on.
39:02Let those hands go.
39:03That's what you do.
39:04Be who you are.
39:05Unblemished for now, as you see the career records of these two.
39:13Team, look, it's just not me.
39:16You hear the fans.
39:17I'm going to let you listen in.
39:18Kerrington covering up any moment.
39:37He's there after throwing.
39:39He knows that he's in complete control right now.
39:43Combination.
39:44Right hand that was able to come in.
40:09Hayden's traveled a long way
40:12and talked a big game
40:14and they were face-to-face
40:17and things were getting heated
40:19after the weigh-in.
40:23But right now,
40:24he ain't doing nothing.
40:25He is losing steam
40:26and there's a hopelessness to it
40:28as he will have six minutes to decide how he wants this to look.
40:34Quick, quick.
40:35Time.
40:35Time.
40:42Time.
40:42Time.
40:42Time.
41:03Time.
41:34Shushu Carrington among the top featherweights in the world, but still looking for that world championship opportunity at 126 pounds.
41:50He's always been wildly well regarded. The 2023 ESPN prospect of the year. That was the year that he went 5-0 with three knockouts. All fights that we broadcast.
42:04Now here he is in complete control in round number 11 against fellow unbeaten Mateus Haida, who's been completely neutralized.
42:15Yeah, to a point, it neutralized to a point to where he's just in there surviving.
42:19Yep. Playing defense. Look at it. He's not doing any type of punches.
42:29Nice attempt right there with two right hands. A little too far away.
42:33And listen, I'm not placing any limitations on these young fighters.
42:46You know, I'm sure some of you at home feel that I'm, you know, being a little bit more too critical.
42:53But look, I'm not, you can get it done.
42:59There's no expectations. I'm just saying, Shushu, he has enough skills to figure this out.
43:05And that's just it.
43:07Just not placing no limitations on his game. I think he, I think he has it. He'll find it eventually.
43:12Might not be tonight, but moving forward, he's going to get better from this.
43:23And guys like this, now you're not going to ring around that long.
43:26He's going to take them out.
43:27Now it's interesting the way we frame Shushu Carrington because a couple years ago he's the prospect of the year.
43:38And this guy obviously had an outstanding amateur career.
43:42Watched him work his way all the way up.
43:45But he's 28 years old.
43:47Yeah.
43:50But see, I compare, I compare him to his peers.
43:54You know, what's out there, the other champions.
43:57Like, I'm comparing Shushu to those guys and what they would do to this type of opponent.
44:06A lot different. I understand that Styles make fights.
44:15And Shushu, again, beautiful work.
44:18Talented.
44:20Skillful.
44:21Making a miss. Making a pay.
44:22The sweet science.
44:23It's beautiful.
44:25Beautiful work.
44:29But we can size up the other top peers in the featherweight division after this short break.
44:35And I'll ask you what you think they would do to this kind of opponent.
44:39We'll take a short break and be right back to MSG.
44:41Let's do this.
44:42Please check me.
45:07You're not gonna be right back.
46:09Rafael Espinosa, who's ringside, what would they do against Hayda, Timmy?
46:13Rafael Espinosa would put Hayda in the front row, over the top ropes.
46:19Ball would park him in his own corner.
46:22Yeah, I mean, park him in his own corner.
46:25Leo definitely would knock him out with a left hook, for sure.
46:29And Cool Boy Steph.
46:29Cool Boy Steph will box his ears off until the referee step in and say,
46:34hey, it's over.
46:34Do you think it would be four for four that they dismiss Hayda?
46:38Oh, yeah.
46:39But Espinosa, you think, just like four clips off?
46:41Oh, he's going to send him over the ropes with one of those uppercuts.
46:46Well, let's see how Shushu brings this thing in for a nice landing.
46:49There's a skill level of Carrington.
47:14Durable, I mean, look, Hayda got, he's durable.
47:19He's tough.
47:19I said that.
47:20But we expected that.
47:21That's the one thing we did expect, right?
47:23Hard.
47:24Absolutely.
47:24And also give credit to Carrington for what he told us would be a certain approach to
47:30his training camp for his first 12th rounder, because that hasn't been a question at all.
47:41Hands are free, hands are free.
47:42Break, break.
47:43Break.
47:43Break.
47:45Break.
47:47Break.
47:49Break.
47:51Break.
47:53Break.
47:54Break.
47:54Break.
47:54Break.
47:54Break.
47:55Break.
47:55Break.
47:55Break.
47:55Break.
47:55Break.
47:55Break.
47:56Break.
48:00Don't push his face once he blows.
48:01Number Xander Zayas is now just moments away.
48:15San Juan Boerden lives in Sunrise, Florida.
48:18Could deliver on all of his dreams in moments to become a world champion.
48:22Yeah, right now, I mean, shoot, hit him with his best shot.
48:28He didn't go anywhere, body shots, you name it.
48:30I mean, he's been landing a lot of shots throughout the course of this fight, I should say.
48:36But he's coasting right now, you know, coasting to victory.
48:42Easy fight, easy win, easy pickup of the interim world championship.
48:52What highlights?
49:02I mean, it's a shoo-shoo, that's all it was, a shoo-shoo for the majority of the night.
49:07Honestly, just good jab, great precision by shoo-shoo.
49:11Just too skilled, too elusive.
49:16Boxing IQ, footwork, right-hand counters, slip counters.
49:23Pool counters, I mean, he did it all.
49:26You know, Hayda, very determined, came forward, did his absolute best.
49:31I mean, the skill level was night and day.
49:34Hayda had his puncher's chance.
49:35You know, as the fight continued, you can see Hayda slowly started to fade away little by little
49:44due to the fact that, man, he stopped, he stopped trying.
49:46And let's give credit to shoo-shoo.
49:50He's the reason why Hayda stopped trying.
49:53Copybox numbers look this way.
49:55As you see, the total punches landed, 207 to 122.
49:5970 body punch connects.
50:02Mark Kriegel, did you give a single round to Hayda?
50:05Absolutely not.
50:06Hey, fellas, I think you're a little bit too hard on shoo-shoo if the standard is knocking everyone out and putting him in the front row.
50:13He put on a clinic tonight.
50:15I'd still like to see how these other guys do against him, man.
50:18Oh, we can bet on that.
50:22Anytime, we can definitely bet on that.
50:25Calm right now is Xander Zayas.
50:29Focused, locked in.
50:31In moments, he will be in position for his ring walk to fight for the vacant WBO Junior Middleweight World Championship.
50:42He's up against Jorge Garcia.
50:45Our main event is just moments away.
50:53And shoo-shoo Carrington is set to move his mark now to 16-0.
50:59Let's hear how the judges scored.
51:03Ladies and gentlemen, after 12 rounds of action, the judges are in agreement.
51:08We have a unanimous decision.
51:10Here are the score totals.
51:11Judges at ringside, Tom Carasoni and Mark Cosentino both scored about 119-109.
51:19Judge at ringside, Steve Weisfeld soars it 120-108.
51:24All three in favor of the winner.
51:27Still undefeated.
51:28And now, the WBC Interim Featherweight World Champion, Bruce Shoo-shoo Carrington.
51:41Brooklyn's very own here in New York.
51:47We head up to the ring to Bernardo.
51:49Take it away, my man.
51:52Shoo-shoo.
51:53Shoo-shoo.
