Transcript
00:00 Okay guys I've given you instructions keep your hands up at all times.
00:05 May the best man win.
00:06 Come out boxing with a bell ring.
00:08 Ciao.
00:09 For Melania I'd love to know how many fights Jaap van Evenhuizen has actually done.
00:14 He's been around forever.
00:15 Referee and judge.
00:16 You know as a referee and judge I mean I'd actually like to ask him that question.
00:24 Jaap van Evenhuizen is a referee for this fight in the Junior Welterweight division.
00:30 And to let it all in course he vs Gif Bolo.
00:33 Bolo the son of Moni Kamatewe and Ntosane Bolo.
00:37 In fact Gif says he's inspired by his father Ntosane Bolo.
00:42 His brothers Yanda, Nath and Ayabulele.
00:47 Bolo in those bright green trunks.
00:50 That's the man from M2W2, Baby G.
00:55 Good jab from Gif.
01:11 Nice work from Nkosi on the inside.
01:19 Doesn't take long to work out if you're going to have a quality fight or not.
01:24 The sound of the punches, the selection of the punches by both fighters tells you already
01:30 that this is going to be a quality fight.
01:32 They're working out the distance with both of them.
01:34 Now trying to establish the authority with the jab.
01:37 But these are evenly matched boxes.
01:39 Yeah lots of experience from Gif Bolo of course.
01:44 You know one tends to think Gif with his record is kind of an opponent.
01:49 But when you can fight as well as Gif does, then you're not just an opponent.
01:54 You there to win.
01:55 Pops out a nice jab, Gif Bolo.
02:02 Nice jab from Nkosi, brilliant jab from both guys.
02:05 Uppercut left hook from Nkosi, this guy can fight.
02:15 Both these guys I would imagine are fighting in the junior lightweight division because
02:19 of their big legs.
02:22 Otherwise they would make the lightweight division.
02:27 The ability for the both of them.
02:32 Nkosi is holding though with the left hand.
02:35 The referee did not notice it.
02:41 Like he said Bumlani, it's a good fight, it's a nice opening round.
02:45 Because clean punches thrown from both fighters.
02:48 Good overhand right from Nkosi, brilliant.
02:54 He says bring it on.
02:55 He's strong, he's really really solid.
02:58 And then he switches to southpaw momentarily there Nkosi.
03:02 Look at the experience of Gif.
03:04 He says if he puts, I'm going to go down, I'm not going to resist.
03:08 The referee will stop it.
03:09 That's a low blow.
03:10 Last 10 seconds.
03:11 There's the one.
03:12 Good right hand from Gif Bolo.
03:13 Just about a second.
03:14 Nkosi shading around.
03:15 Good opening round for the both fighters.
03:16 Good afternoon.
03:17 Probably a tough one even for the judges to score.
03:32 If you're scoring the guy coming forward you're going to go Nkosi.
03:35 But good round.
03:36 He's desperate for his right hand.
03:37 Has the power.
03:38 No shots must land because we don't want him to look good.
04:07 The left hook from Nkosi.
04:10 Gif Bolo's attention in the first round.
04:14 Textbook stuff.
04:15 Damien Durant says you don't want him to land so he can look good.
04:23 I suppose that is what the game is all about.
04:26 Both trainers are saying the same thing.
04:34 Nkosi goes to the jab.
04:37 Good left jab.
04:38 Misses widely with the left hook on top.
04:44 Like how Nkosi steps in with the jab.
04:47 But that jab is countered intelligently by Bolo.
04:52 Because look at Bolo.
04:54 Hooks with the left hand as well.
04:56 Right there with that jab.
04:58 Yeah, Nkosi steps beautifully with the jab.
05:06 Downstairs, upstairs.
05:07 That's how you know a guy can fight.
05:10 When he works up and down and he lands.
05:13 Break, break, stop.
05:14 Stop holding it.
05:15 Box on.
05:16 You will see a switch.
05:26 I want you to check it out Brian.
05:28 Nkosi steps inside from an orthodox stance.
05:31 You see how he then changes his legs and then he goes southpaw.
05:38 I don't know if that is intentional on the inside.
05:41 Yeah, it almost looks like he is trying to sturdy himself on his two legs.
05:46 But he is opening himself up by going sideways.
05:50 Like that, yeah, exactly.
05:52 No, he needs to stay orthodox so his balance can be better.
05:57 He is a good fighter.
05:58 Good left hook, as I say that.
06:01 Good jab by Giff.
06:07 He steps over to the left and then he lands the left hook when he does that.
06:14 There is that left again from Nkosi.
06:17 A very good left hook from Nkosi.
06:27 Another good left hook from Nkosi.
06:29 If Bolo doesn't like those left hooks from Nkosi...
06:32 He will take them though Brian.
06:33 It is a left hook that is thrown with the inside of the glove.
06:37 It is easy even from here because of our effects mics.
06:40 So you can hear the sound of the punch.
06:43 Then you know it did not land flush.
06:45 Yeah, it is not a hurting gift.
06:48 Landing.
06:49 A good right hand from Nkosi at this stage.
06:58 The second round.
06:59 Twenty seven seconds to go.
07:01 One would have to say that Nkosi is winning the round.
07:07 He is doing the work right.
07:10 Yeah, there he does it again from Ronyard.
07:13 I do not understand what he is doing.
07:14 Flashing from the corner, cut the ring, step over again.
07:17 They like it.
07:18 Break.
07:19 He is winning the round anyway.
07:20 Another good round from Nkosi.
07:21 Slow motion action from round number two.
07:48 There is that left hook that has been working well for Nkosi.
08:06 The left hook really did well for him.
08:09 In a slow motion action, all you see is left hooks from Nkosi.
08:24 Round number three here at Empress Palace.
08:27 Golden Gloves Tournament live on Supersport, your World of Champions.
08:30 Of course, Brotibao World Sports betting.
08:40 It is a timing thing.
08:41 Bolo rolling back the ears with the experience.
08:44 Timed that right hand beautifully.
08:53 Good right hand from Di Bolo.
08:58 This is experience.
08:59 He is being pulled down.
09:04 Because you are using so much strength when you resist.
09:06 He has just been caught by a big right hand by Di Bolo.
09:10 As he gets caught by the right hand, Di Bolo throws the right hand of his own.
09:23 Good right hands now.
09:30 From that young man, Tulela Nkosi.
09:31 Out of the timing, Durant's table.
09:32 But Di Bolo says, "I'm not out of the yet."
09:43 He is seeking some great angles here, Nkosi.
09:52 Very often because he wants to have an opportunity to work the body too.
09:57 Steps to the side a little bit and then he wants to go downstairs.
10:03 He goes downstairs with the right hand.
10:08 Some good work coming from Di Bolo on the outside.
10:13 Quicker hands from Bolo.
10:15 Had a good third round so far, Bolo.
10:19 It's the hand speed, Brian.
10:21 It's the hand speed.
10:22 He puts them together.
10:23 He wins the exchanges.
10:24 Nkosi, pick up your punches, eh?
10:25 Nkosi's been warned to pick up his punches by Yaf and even has him.
10:33 Because he's chasing that body, Brian.
10:35 He's chasing that body.
10:36 He'll risk having a point deducted.
10:39 Good right hand from Bolo.
10:40 Yeah, good right.
10:41 I'm not sure what the judges are looking at, but I've got Bolo doing pretty well in round
10:44 number three.
10:45 He's having a good round.
10:46 These are punches.
10:52 Possibly two rounds to one here in this fight, so it's tightened up.
10:55 Now we have a real fight.
11:00 Nkosi, right hand Bolo.
11:04 Yeah, I'll give Bolo's looking terrific in round number three.
11:11 Nice combinations now from Nkosi.
11:13 Has he left it too late in this round?
11:16 I think so.
11:17 Last 10 seconds of round number three.
11:21 Stopped Keith Bolo for a brilliant round.
11:28 Good left hook to end proceedings.
11:33 Two rounds to one.
11:34 Minor official scorecard between Nkosi.
11:35 Keith, can I just say one thing?
11:36 Yes.
11:37 Listen to me now.
11:38 Who's up?
11:39 Who's up?
11:40 Keith, you're going to touch him downstairs with the left hand.
11:41 Come with the overhand right.
11:48 And when he comes back, uppercut down the middle.
11:51 Just trust me.
11:52 He comes in straight after.
11:53 Boom.
11:54 Exactly that.
11:55 But sit on it.
11:56 Fucking sit on it.
11:57 And he's loading up.
11:58 Show him you can also load up.
11:59 Do you know what I'm saying to you?
12:00 We've got two rounds to go.
12:01 Even if you miss the right hand, Keith, if you miss the right hand.
12:02 And then when you hit, come in, Masaya, two.
12:03 Yeah.
12:04 But even when you hit, you're going to get a right hand.
12:05 You're going to get a right hand.
12:06 You're going to get a right hand.
12:07 You're going to get a right hand.
12:08 You're going to get a right hand.
12:09 You're going to get a right hand.
12:10 You're going to get a right hand.
12:11 You're going to get a right hand.
12:12 You're going to get a right hand.
12:13 You're going to get a right hand.
12:14 You're going to get a right hand.
12:15 You're going to get a right hand.
12:16 You're going to get a right hand.
12:17 You're going to get a right hand.
12:18 You're going to get a right hand.
12:19 You're going to get a right hand.
12:20 You're going to get a right hand.
12:21 You're going to get a right hand.
12:22 You're going to get a right hand.
12:23 You're going to get a right hand.
12:24 You're going to get a right hand.
12:25 You're going to get a right hand.
12:26 You're going to get a right hand.
12:27 You're going to get a right hand.
12:28 You're going to get a right hand.
12:29 You're going to get a right hand.
12:31 Bolo against Nkosi.
12:33 An opening has been spotted by the gift Bolo corner.
12:45 It's an opening for a solid right hand up the guard.
12:49 Nkosi has a tendency of falling forward, lead with his chin.
12:54 The opening is there.
12:59 Nkosi puts the pressure on, closes the gap nicely and then doesn't do anything.
13:04 But he works well to get inside Nkosi.
13:09 There's that left uppercut to the short rip from Nkosi.
13:15 Gift Bolo says bring it on, there's a right hand for you.
13:21 It's been fought at a tremendous pace, Brian.
13:27 You can't buy experience, Pumlani, as they always say.
13:30 You can't buy youth either.
13:32 But I mean, he's got so much experience, Gift Bolo.
13:35 He gets caught to the right hand now.
13:38 Oh, nice from Nkosi.
13:40 Well, he's worked his way back to winning the round.
13:52 Towards winning the round again, I should say.
13:55 Nkosi, but you're only halfway through the round.
13:57 Exactly. So you see, even with that right hand on top.
14:03 Yes, it looks fancy and it's colourful and maybe the judges will be impressed.
14:09 But again, Bolo even indicated, it's a clean punch.
14:13 It's on with the inside of the glove.
14:15 Yeah, definitely. Pumlani is hitting with the inside of the glove as Nkosi needs to turn their hand over.
14:21 So when you talk about clean point scoring punches, that punch doesn't score points.
14:28 And Gift Bolo is landing the right hands down the middle quite often.
14:33 So even a round like this could be quite even.
14:36 The right hands are coming through from Bolo.
14:41 But the pressure is all coming from Nkosi.
14:50 He's got to find an opening to land though.
14:52 Pressure, all good, he's got to land.
14:55 Lands with the left hand.
15:01 Starts now with the right. Good combinations, Nkosi.
15:05 That's a good fight.
15:09 A very good fight in the junior worldweight division.
15:12 Kotelelo and Nkosi against Bolo.
15:15 That glove touched the canvas.
15:18 But even then, did he miss it?
15:20 The glove of Bolo touched the canvas.
15:23 End of the round.
15:25 Good round for Nkosi.
15:29 Beautiful work, Gift.
15:34 Don't be too up straight.
15:37 Don't worry.
15:42 Well, if you can see what happened in the slow-mo action there.
15:45 Gift Bolo gets caught with overhand right.
15:48 Well, that wasn't really a knockdown.
15:56 Bit of a push from Nkosi.
15:58 Because actually, if you touch the canvas with your glove, it's a knockdown.
16:10 Well, let's see. This is where it actually happens.
16:12 It was definitely a push.
16:14 Okay, not a knockdown.
16:16 The referee must still rule on it, right?
16:21 Yes, the referee, Jof and even Aizen, definitely was sleeping on that one.
16:24 Rule in the clubs.
16:26 And we just joined us, round number five.
16:31 The best against the best here, Empress Palace.
16:35 This is a good fight.
16:38 And the elimination.
16:40 It was from the opening bell, Brian.
16:41 Like I said, when this fight started, it doesn't take long to know we're going to have a good fight.
16:46 Well, I'm not sure what happened on the judges scorecard on that one.
16:57 But, Gift Bolo possibly only winning one round so far in the last four.
17:01 So he needs to up his work, if he wants to be in this fight.
17:05 The battle of the jabs. Solid left jab from Nkosi.
17:08 Oh, lovely right uppercut to the body, followed by left hook from Nkosi.
17:16 For some reason, Gift Bolo has not been able to try the right hand uppercut that his corner pleaded with him to try.
17:28 That's exactly what he's doing wrong, Gift Bolo.
17:32 He needs to whip that right uppercut in against the shorter man.
17:35 As Nkosi comes in, you whip him up with the right uppercut.
17:38 He's trying the right down the middle, but he needs to whip the uppercut.
17:42 Solid Nkosi defence, solid Nkosi jab.
17:49 Good performance by both fighters.
17:56 Good performance by both fighters.
17:58 Well, if anybody thought Gift Bolo's over the hill, he's certainly not.
18:07 Oh, look, jab goes back to the left jab. It's a solid jab.
18:22 He's landing with the right hand, beautiful over the top is Gift Bolo.
18:25 But the pressure cooker is on top of him.
18:28 The pressure cooker, of course, is in Talelo Nkosi.
18:46 Gift Bolo's fighting a good fight. Not winning my scorecard, but fighting a good fight.
18:52 Oh, big right hand from Nkosi.
18:55 He's dropped his guard too, Nkosi goes southpaw, lands a big left hand.
18:59 Bolo fights back.
19:01 Of course he holds.
19:02 22 seconds left of round number 5.
19:09 10 seconds.
19:10 He's doing the wrong thing here.
19:22 He should be warned, Nkosi, is by measuring his man.
19:25 He often even has, he's been around a long time, warn the man, don't let him measure.
19:30 But another good round I would say from Nkosi.
19:33 Nkosi.
19:34 So Gift Bolo needs a big round in this fight.
19:42 Riyad Burhi from Belgium.
19:53 You see him being taped up for his big fight against Kevin Lerina in the main event here just now.
19:59 The elimination.
20:02 That of course for the WBC Breach Away Silver title.
20:04 An eliminator.
20:06 Scheduled for 12 rounds.
20:08 Riyad Burhi from Belgium will face South Africa's Kevin Lerina.
20:12 Sixth and final round here at Empress Palace, the eliminator.
20:22 He often even has a goal there.
20:27 It's been a nice fight up to now, shake hands.
20:29 Sixth and final round.
20:30 Nkosi comes out jerking.
20:36 Piling on the pressure.
20:38 Seems like Nkosi knows only one way to fight.
20:43 Come forward fighter.
20:45 Solid, solid fighter from him to Batu.
20:48 Bolo now tries and right hand uppercut doesn't land.
20:57 That's a nice fight for the audience.
20:59 Good right hand down the middle Nkosi.
21:01 Well of course on paper it looked like Gift Bolo was really going to take a bad beating here.
21:16 And I've got to say hats off to Gift Bolo for putting up a good performance.
21:20 Good right hand from both fighters that landed at the same time.
21:25 Fourth and final round.
21:26 Nkosi is loading up.
21:28 He's throwing that right hand with really bad intentions now.
21:31 That's dangerous what Nkosi is doing.
21:36 You can get knocked out by dropping your hands and playing the fool.
21:40 He's winning the fight, he doesn't need to be silly now.
21:44 And hold this side.
21:45 Well I suppose if Gift Bolo watches this fight over he'll realise that the work rate was not enough against Nkosi.
22:02 But it's still not over. Gift Bolo is landing the right hand.
22:05 There he throws the uppercut to Larry and it's taken him six rounds.
22:09 Gift Bolo, where's the right uppercut been?
22:12 Right.
22:13 Left jab, solid from Nkosi again.
22:20 And speed from Bolo.
22:23 Always wins the exchanges.
22:27 Right hand Nkosi, it's a good right hand.
22:30 Pick up your punches.
22:32 Another warning for a low blow from Nkosi.
22:39 Nkosi climbing up at 9 rounds, 6, feels like he's won the fight.
22:42 Should be at points.
22:44 Been an aggressor throughout.
22:46 Gift Bolo's fought a nice little boxing exhibition on the outside.
22:52 Good right hands down the middle.
22:54 And a really, really nice fight.
22:56 Lead right hand, another big right hand from Nkosi.
23:01 Big right hands from Nkosi, and a sixth round.
23:09 Lands clean with the right hand there, Nkosi.
23:11 Last ten seconds of the sixth and final round.
23:16 It's been a really good quality fight here at Empress Palace.
23:21 Yeah, certainly a good right hand to finish proceedings from Gift Bolo.
23:26 And a nice fight, definitely a good fight.
23:34 Smiles, it's hugs after six solid rounds of quality boxing here at the Palace of Dreams.
23:44 You can see the slow action on the sixth and final round.
23:53 Oh, nice jab.
23:57 Oh, there's that right hand over the top from Nkosi that should win him this fight.
24:01 Well, it's going to be hard to see anybody other than Nkosi a clear points winner here in this junior worldweight contest.
24:12 Famed by Damien Durant, there's the right hand.
24:15 Both fighters, that's up to Damien Durant and Harry Ramacholo for bringing both their fighters in.
24:26 And we see that brilliant right hand from Nkosi.
24:30 Both the fighters came out in fantastic condition and showed a nice exhibition of boxing over six rounds.
24:57 You would have known, Brian, from the opening bell, the quality of the fight that we were going to be experiencing.
