00:00I've given you your instructions already, I'll tell you the instructions, okay?
00:09Protect yourselves at all times, listen to my commands at all times,
00:15listen to them at all times, okay?
00:21Got it? Let's go. Good job.
00:24Here we go, the stage is set.
00:30Our main event has arrived, ten rounds scheduled.
00:34King Callum Walsh defending his WBC Continental America's Super Welterweight title for the fourth time.
00:40He takes on that man, Elias Espadas.
00:46TJ DeSantis along with Pearl Gonzalez live inside the Chumash Casino Resort.
00:51It is a sight of Hollywood fight nights, King Callum Walsh in the green with gold.
00:57Espadas in the blue with white.
00:59Oof, beautiful right hook to the body.
01:03That is one of Callum's best punches is that right hook to the body.
01:07He does a great job of attacking downstairs and then will work his way upstairs.
01:12Walsh has shown a bit of an aggressive streak as of late.
01:20Hasn't gone past the second round in over a year.
01:24Coming off a huge win this past March at Madison Square Garden over Dean Sullivan.
01:30Oh, big right hook landing for Callum Walsh there.
01:35I mean the movement is incredible for him.
01:39He's in and out.
01:40He's feigning well.
01:41He looks so sharp, TJ.
01:43We continue to see him level up his game.
01:46Oh.
01:47Oh.
01:48This knockout streak that he's on right now, it started here at Chumash when he knocked out Carlos Ortiz in devastating fashion.
01:59Went over to the three arena in Dublin.
02:02Knocked out a very tough Premislav Brunowski.
02:06Oh my goodness, these shots are landing.
02:09And he's planting the seeds here for another one against Elias that's Bottas.
02:13I mean anybody that is put in front of Walsh has such a difficult time dealing with his power.
02:19Dealing with the speed.
02:21But Elias landed a nice right hand there of his own.
02:28And as we see, as Callum says, he's getting older, he's getting stronger.
02:33He's becoming more confident and has more belief.
02:36And he already believes.
02:37The last time he was in the booth with us at our last fight, he talked about how he believes he can knock anybody out on the wall.
02:44And we are seeing that.
02:45Trying to make Elias a spot as a believer right now in his power.
02:47Oh, goodness.
02:50Oh, nice left of the body comes upstairs with the right hand.
02:53Callum doing a great job of throwing when Elias throws.
02:57Making it very difficult for Elias to really get any offense out.
03:04And Elias Espadas has been training with Manny Robles for the last two years.
03:11He was training out in Florida.
03:13Made the move out here to train with Robles.
03:16They've seen an incredible change in his camp and everything coming together.
03:20He talked about how he feels like he's had a resurgence in his career.
03:25Oh, but Callum is just, I mean, he's so nasty with his shots.
03:30And he's so dynamic, you know, mixing up his targets, going to the body, going to the head.
03:36It's not just one punch that's landing, it's multiples, it's combinations.
03:42And it's another strong statement here by the King as it closes out the first round in pretty dominant fashion.
03:52That was a big combination to close that first round out.
03:55And, man, Callum just is doing a great job of going downstairs, then coming back upstairs, and then attacking upstairs.
04:03Throwing, throwing at will, throwing when Elias throws.
04:07I mean, he's just giving so many puzzles for Elias to solve.
04:12For a lot of instruction on his action, that left hand on point.
04:15Left hand's on point.
04:16It started with him going downstairs to the body, coming back upstairs.
04:20As you can see, he's doing a good job of going high and low.
04:22I mean, look at that overhand left.
04:24That was gorgeous.
04:26He's doing a great job of changing levels constantly, utilizing his feints, coming in and out very tightly,
04:32and then landing power shots at will.
04:36Look inside an all-star corner.
04:40Freddie Roach.
04:42Dickey Eklund Jr. keeping him on his toes.
04:45Mike Rodriguez.
04:48The wild card, one of the best gyms out there.
04:53Right to the body there with that right hand to start this second round.
04:57Poor DJ's getting hit.
04:59Let's see what kind of adjustments Elias can make in this fight, because he really was unable to really have any offense.
05:16I mean, you see a little bit of wear on the face of Callum under his right eye.
05:21But, I mean, Callum has landed some really big shots thus far.
05:28Stop, stop, stop, stop.
05:29Ooh, clash of heads.
05:30Callum immediately said to the referee.
05:32Oh, and he's cut.
05:33That's not good.
05:34Yep.
05:35Over the right eye.
05:36Right over the right eye.
05:37That's bad.
05:38Accidental clash of heads.
05:46Hightened drama here.
06:00Flashback to the Carson Jones fight for Callum Walsh, where he suffered a cut that didn't look as bad as this one.
06:07Immediately, Callum ended the fight.
06:10Can he do so again?
06:11Yes.
06:12Exactly.
06:13And, you know, he talked to us about that.
06:14He prefers a one to two round fight, but is prepared to go all ten rounds here.
06:19And he's a fighter.
06:21He's got the instincts of a killer.
06:23So, knowing when to close the show, how to close the show, is something that Callum really does excel at.
06:29Let's see if he can, because this is a tricky cut to deal with.
06:33Espadas landed a left hand right on that cut.
06:38Let's go.
06:39I mean, to say that that cut isn't a problem is disingenuous.
06:44Callum is going to try to continue as long as he can, but it's bleeding right into his eyebrow.
06:49It is.
06:50But, you know, Callum's doing a great job of dealing with it.
06:52He's a fighter.
06:53He's dealt with a lot of adversity throughout his life.
06:55Beautiful body shot from Callum Walsh there.
06:58He's not fazed by this cut.
07:01He's not fazed by the blood.
07:02And some people enjoy it.
07:03I personally enjoy blood.
07:04I enjoy it.
07:05I smell it.
07:06I can see it.
07:07And it just makes sure I'm alive inside the fight here.
07:10That's what makes me terrified of you.
07:14But, I mean, that blood has been a motivating factor for Callum because, again, I mentioned the Carson Jones fight.
07:19He went into a different gear immediately when he saw his own blood.
07:24It's hard for you to say on the outside looking in pearl, but do you think Callum is having a hard time seeing out the red eye?
07:33He's not showing it.
07:35I mean, he's got a good poker face if he is, but I will say that I feel like the momentum has slightly moved into Espadas.
07:43Espadas is coming forward.
07:44He's got a lot more confidence.
07:46He may have gained some respect from Callum in this moment, and that might just be what Callum is dealing with internally.
07:52But then he shows up with a gorgeous right hook like that to the body to showcase that he's still inside this fight.
08:03Oh.
08:04Oh.
08:05Ten seconds, guys.
08:06Ten.
08:07Man, Callum does a great job of timing Espadas.
08:10Up at the bell.
08:12Time.
08:13All right.
08:14So they're going to have a look at that eye at this point.
08:16I mean, a lot of work going to be cut out for the cup man.
08:21But he's got a world class team of killers inside of his corner.
08:27You know that they brought in a great cup man.
08:29And this is the thing that I learned when I fought professional boxing.
08:33The importance.
08:34The importance of having a great cup man inside your corner that really becomes a big significant part of your team.
08:43Yeah, you can see.
08:44Just leading with his head was Espadas, and it just landed flush on that brow.
08:53Let's see what the cut man can do here.
08:54I mean, the cut's as big as the swap.
08:56Let's see what he can do here.
08:58They're miracle workers, after all.
09:01They are.
09:02They certainly are.
09:03And, you know, this is a fight.
09:05Callum is certainly prepared for a fight.
09:07And if he can find a way to close the show, what a performance that would be, especially dealing with that cut there.
09:15They know he's going to try.
09:16I mean, he's not bothered.
09:19Here comes the doctor.
09:20See what the doctor says.
09:22You know, obviously an accidental headbutt.
09:29Espadas didn't want this to happen.
09:33And it looks like they're going to be able to fight on, maybe.
09:42Doctor now talking to Rudy Better gone.
09:45Let's go.
09:48All right.
09:49He will fight on.
09:50And the bleeding looks like it stopped.
09:52So hats off to the cut man for containing that cut at this moment.
09:58Ooh.
10:02Ooh.
10:03I love the way he throws when Espadas throws.
10:05He does a great job of that.
10:07That's so difficult to do as an athlete.
10:09Yeah.
10:10To throw when your opponent is throwing.
10:12And he's just doing it effortlessly.
10:18Elias attacking that eye, which you would, you know, believe he would.
10:24But here comes Callum.
10:28You're right.
10:32I think that cut man might be a miracle worker.
10:35Because it's not nearly dripping the way it was when it first opened.
10:38No.
10:40And that's the team.
10:41That's the great team that's behind him is pulling in the right people.
10:45And Callum has done an incredible job of manifesting and creating this beautiful life for him.
10:51And surrounding himself around killers.
10:53And bringing the right people in front of him.
10:55And captivating the eyes of a king like Dana White.
10:59You know, being sponsored by Conor McGregor.
11:01Tom Loeffner.
11:02I mean, he's just done a fantastic job of working hard throughout his career to establish himself and become the king that he is becoming.
11:10And he is just consumed with this fight game.
11:13Obviously, undefeated boxer, but probably one of the biggest fans of the UFC you'll see.
11:19And one of the biggest stars in boxing.
11:22Not many can say at 24 years old they've headlined Madison Square Garden three times.
11:29They've headlined the 03 Arena in Dublin, Ireland.
11:32And they've captivated the people and put the people inside of his corner that Callum has.
11:37Callum is doing that.
11:38Callum is all the smoke that everyone talks about.
11:41Right, 100%.
11:42And any detractors out there that would say he's been given opportunities he doesn't deserve.
11:47These are the moments he proves that he deserves them.
11:50Certainly.
11:51And he's always working, even if it's outside of the ring.
11:54He's at all the fights.
11:55He's doing the work that he needs to do as far as showcasing himself.
12:00And, you know, he's just done a great job.
12:02He talks the talk.
12:03He's incredible on the mic.
12:04He does a fantastic job.
12:06He doesn't need help selling his fights.
12:07That's for certain.
12:08Absolutely not.
12:09And, obviously, a lot is made about Dana White's interest in Callum.
12:14But let's not forget the man that he trains with, Freddie Roach.
12:17Freddie's not going to take time out of his schedule to work with someone who doesn't deserve it.
12:22And we're seeing the fruits of his labor pay off here as we're inside the final 30 seconds of round number three.
12:30Calum having a great round here.
12:34But Espadas is not at all discouraged.
12:37He's not intimidated by the power and ferociousness coming from Callum Walsh.
12:43I mean, look at the cuts just now starting to leak a little bit.
12:47but it took it took all of two and a half minutes or almost three to bleed so let's
12:55my god drink is going back into work and uh i assume he's going to replicate what he did a
13:00moment ago we just saw callum missed with that right hook and he actually kind of like said
13:06something to elias like you're lucky that didn't land like it was well his last fight after his
13:11last fight at madison square guarded him and i had a conversation and he had told me he said i was
13:16i was hoping to land a one shot knockout and i threw that shot and it missed callum is so
13:22intelligent his fight iq is so high he knows when the shot that he throws is devastating and what it
13:29can do whether or not it can close the show and he challenges himself and that's exactly what the
13:34greats do is they find these crazy challenges within the challenge itself to just take them
13:40and excel them to another level i interviewed callum last week and inevitably the conversation
13:46of are you going to try mma is going to come up from time to time his girlfriend tabitha ricci
13:53he said that uh he said that uh tony ferguson came over ended up doing an hour wrestling with tony
14:02here comes the doctor again draws the ire of the fans
14:07is he gonna come in every round probably okay yes sir yes sir
14:17you know hats off to espadas though you know he's got a whirlwind of storm in front of him
14:24in the superstar in callum walsh and he's doing a great job of really weathering the storm finding some
14:31openings of his own he's not at all uh intimidated fighting his fight you know really making the most
14:40of his opportunity tonight tj absolutely you're seeing callum come out here to start this fourth
14:46round very light on his feet and you mentioned that storm that espadas is going to be forced to weather
14:51that storm might only get stronger as this fight goes on a little extra motivation for the king with
14:58that cut oh nice uppercut just beautiful he's so creative with his striking callum walsh
15:08the faints are money for callum i mean they are stopping espadas in his tracks and espadas does a
15:15great job of moving and fighting backwards we saw that in his last outing here inside hollywood fight
15:21knight's ring and um he does a great job in his last fight he did a fantastic job of utilizing his jab
15:30keeping his last opponent outside of it maintaining the range and you see callum work right through
15:38those skills
15:41nice left hand there from callum walsh
15:45you mentioned walsh on a three fight run that have ended in knockouts espadas a very tough
15:54customer to put away he's only been stopped twice in his career
16:00yes he has you know one of those was another superstar uh xander zayas a very skilled fighter so
16:08you know that says a lot about his skill set and the athlete that is espadas is and he talked to us
16:14about how he believes he's had a second wind in his career and this is almost a rebirth for him
16:22oh beautiful hook right and left hand landed there from callum
16:29oh nice jab for espadas there
16:42and espadas he does have power as well looking at his 23 wins 16 come by way of a knockout of 70
16:49percent knockout rating
16:55king pulling him lulling and pulling espadas
16:58into his attacks stop stop stop stop stop get up get up get up get up his footwork looks phenomenal
17:03tonight callum walsh in and out sharp fast elusive 10 seconds guys yes are amazing and on point
17:17i flinched for that one yeah because you know what's coming if it connects four rounds down this our main event
17:25that cut opened up i mean i can't even say that that cut open like that cut's wide open it's just
17:33not bleeding no the cut man's doing a great job of dealing with it
17:40and i think the concern with that cut pearl is that it's
17:43dangerously close to the eyelet and when you have to stitch that that's where it can get to be a sticky
17:49situation because we talk about the blood inhibiting the vision but you also don't want a cut that's
18:00going to take obviously some stitches take even more stitches to close up as it potentially can get
18:07hit and open wider and wider and then you know on top of dealing with the stitches initially you've
18:12got to deal with the healing process and how easy does that open up in future fights and you know it's
18:19the scar tissue and that's the beautiful life of a fighter you gotta love it
18:27fight doctor tony hicks start the round start the round yeah just going to take a look at it
18:32discussing with rudy bear gone
18:50you can tell i mean you you asked if the doctor was going to come look at it before every round
18:54you can feel like a sense of holding the breath in the room because
18:59we don't know how much further he'll be allowed to go and obviously the the fans here they want
19:05to see the fight continue but safety is paramount we mentioned the healing process i mean that's why
19:13this fight was called here so they're going to score the round we're going to be
19:19we're going to score cards i believe we're going to go to a technical decision
19:24what a fight
19:35well i think this might actually be a no contest girl because we haven't gone to minimum threshold
19:39to get a winner off score cards
19:45we're going to see what they say
19:48not the way anyone wanted this to end
19:51and now i guess the sort of concern moving forward is going to be how long
19:59will it take for that cut to heal and callum be able to get cleared again to
20:04train to get back in there for another fight
20:17to get back in there for another fight
20:31well it wasn't for lack of effort
20:34accidental headbutt as elias espadas
20:39just landed the crown of his head on the right eyebrow
20:43of cala walsh and the cut immediately
20:50was an issue but he was able to fight on
20:55and finally the doctor said we got to stop this it's getting bigger
20:59as it gets bigger the problem becomes longer to deal with in terms of healing and as i mentioned
21:06safety paramount
21:07a bit of a bum out here in our main event but
21:14again calum walsh was firing in all cylinders
21:20let's take a look back at that headbutt and how it got this cut open up
21:27both came forward lower with the top of the head
21:30and then just unfortunately right on that eyebrow it doesn't take much to split open
21:42referee talking to the doctor here
21:48and forced to wave it off
21:50all right to make this one official we get to joe martigus
22:01ladies and gentlemen at the beginning of round number five
22:04referee rudy barragan stops his fight and under the advice of our ringside position decides to call
22:10this fight due to the accidental headbutt sustained to calum wash therefore we go to the scorecard
22:17scoring round number five as well
22:19all three judges score at 50 46
22:24for your winner by technical decision and unanimously still undefeated and still
22:30wbc continental america super welterweight champion king calum
22:41now 14 and oh not the way he wanted to pick up
22:45the victory but a victory nonetheless
22:48the king reigns supreme calum walsh
