SportsTranscript
00:00 Come here.
00:01 You both know the rules, I've been through the instructions in the dressing room.
00:05 You know what I expect. Obey my commands at all times, protect yourselves at all times.
00:09 Touch gloves, lads.
00:11 Two big lads.
00:15 Moderna, 6'2", Hutchinson, 6'1".
00:20 Will youth prevail?
00:24 Will it be experience of the champion who's 12 years the senior at 36?
00:30 Interesting contest this, John, and a risky one for Hutchinson most certainly.
00:39 We've seen Moderna, and as I say that, he gets caught with a lovely shot there.
00:43 Better work, lovely work again, Hutchinson.
00:46 Speed of Hutchinson, but Moderna coming back, and this is a real fast start to this opening round.
00:53 Both of them landing solid shots.
00:55 Good chance now for Hutchinson just to catch his opponent cold.
01:00 He's caught him with a couple of good shots.
01:02 And again on that front foot looking for the power is Hutchinson.
01:06 And I said it's a risky contest.
01:08 We've seen what Moderna can do, what he did to Karol Atoma with that right hand of his.
01:12 But Hutchinson's having none of it on that front foot, and he scored well early.
01:16 When Hutchinson was beaten by Lennox Clark, he was ground down later on in the contest by the more experienced man.
01:24 By the bull-like strength of Clark, and it was a defeat which prompted him to step up a division to light heavyweight.
01:31 Had a couple of wins since then, but this is the first really meaningful one.
01:36 And Moderna being told by Kevin Parker from Newark to just watch what he's doing.
01:42 Big night for Kevin Parker as well, one of the bigger fights that he's had a refereeing job for.
01:48 I'll tell you what, Moderna's got to keep his hands up here, especially the right hand.
01:54 He keeps getting caught with the left hook.
01:56 That's the danger shot here for Hutchinson when he's boxing as an orthodox boxer.
02:00 That left hook of his, he's scoring well.
02:03 Oh, again, good right hand right down the tube from Hutchinson.
02:09 Moderna is taking a lot in this opening round, but Hutchinson so often does start fast.
02:15 Usually it's really dangerous in the early stages, but by looking to unload, he's also leaving himself open at occasion.
02:25 And there's some reddening around the right eye of Hutchinson,
02:29 giving witness to the fact that Moderna has found the target powerfully.
02:34 Spending a lot of energy as well, John, going for these big shots in the opening round.
02:39 Hutchinson is in against a much more experienced man.
02:43 He's boxed over 12 rounds and 10 rounds several times.
02:47 Oh, dear me.
02:50 A couple of really solid shots there, and now Hutchinson just wants to watch his defence here.
02:57 That's another big right hand, and another, and Moderna's coming right at him here.
03:01 Yeah, and good end to the round for Moderna.
03:04 A couple of solid right hands that have landed.
03:06 Hutchinson up until that point was all one way.
03:09 He just gets caught, going to get back behind his boxing maybe.
03:13 It's been an impressive opening round for Hutchinson.
03:16 Moderna just showing signs that he's recovered from that early onslaught from Hutchinson.
03:23 Well, he threw the kitchen sink at Moderna earlier on.
03:27 Moderna coming right back at him, and what an entertaining opening round.
03:31 [CROWD NOISES]
03:36 Watch the budget, please.
03:38 See you soon.
03:40 Sorry, love. Had to shop around a bit to find dinner for under a fiver.
03:45 Jerry, it's been years. Why didn't you just go to Asda?
03:50 I went around the houses trying to find decent prices.
03:52 Asda have price locked hundreds of items.
03:54 There's so many confusing reward schemes.
03:56 But the Asda Rewards app gives you pounds, not points.
03:59 Ah.
04:01 With so many ways to save, you don't need to shop around.
04:04 Asda. That's more like it.
04:06 Welcome back to your call after a dramatic opening round.
04:11 Blistering start from Willie Hutchinson, but he left himself open and the rally came.
04:17 Yeah, superb start from him. There was that right hand and there was that left hook that we spoke about as well.
04:22 So that's the danger shot for me.
04:24 But Moderna showed his quality, came back at the end of the round.
04:27 Moved now into the second round.
04:32 That was a real dramatic opener.
04:35 Hutchinson, was he gambling too much trying to throw those big shots?
04:40 Richie pointed out that perhaps he was tiring himself out by really gambling on a big opener and loading up on his shots.
04:48 And in the last 30 seconds, Moderna caught him with some great punches of his own.
04:53 You've just got to bear that in mind, John, because you're in against an experienced man who's, like I said, boxed over 12 rounds, boxed over 10 rounds many times.
05:02 And if you don't get him out of there and you do spend too much energy early on, then, you know, this kid is going to come on late, isn't he?
05:09 Oh, my goodness. Well, he caught him with a peach there, got him squared up.
05:14 He shakes his hand at Moderna as much as to say, yeah, you caught me, but I'm not hurt.
05:19 Holds his gloves up, looks clear eyed, and he's ready to continue.
05:23 Good shot again from Hutchinson, bringing Moderna onto the punch.
05:27 Moderna walking forward and walks straight onto that one.
05:31 But Hutchinson again getting back behind his boxing, so this is impressive up to now.
05:36 As Moderna, as he recovered from that shot, he slowed down a little bit.
05:44 Caught him squared, didn't it? And he was off balance.
05:49 He has fast reactions, does Willie Hutchinson.
05:53 And again, right hand over the top, and that's what the corner wanted, Coates says.
06:00 Right hand over the top is what he wants.
06:03 A good couple of shots there, but very fast reactions.
06:06 Here he comes again, the shake of the head.
06:10 Hutchinson unloading big shots once more.
06:14 Solid body shot as well with the left hand.
06:17 Boxed his way to success in this second round.
06:25 Dominated for me with the boxing skills.
06:28 To land anything significant compared to Hutchinson, he's landed the real eye catchers.
06:39 That speed, those reactions.
06:42 Not a lot been coming back from Moderna in this round so far.
06:47 He's not had too much to celebrate.
06:49 It was at this point in the opener that he really started knocking Hutchinson about.
06:53 Hutchinson getting away with using the shoulder there to get his man off,
06:57 to give him a bit of space, and he's starting to mount another big attack
07:01 with less than 30 seconds to go.
07:06 Moderna just blocked a couple of left hooks there,
07:09 so he's learning as he's going through this contest,
07:11 because when they're up close, Hutchinson's dangerous with that left hook.
07:15 He caught a right hand there.
07:18 Hutchinson's chin tested in the closing seconds of the round, but took it okay.
07:24 That's going to go down on the card as a 10-8 round to Hutchinson
07:29 because of the knockdown.
07:31 Let's take another look at it.
07:34 So quick, wasn't it?
07:36 That's what Hutchinson trades on, his speed and his timing.
07:43 Speed, timing, and reaction.
07:45 Let's have a look at it here as Moderna comes forward.
07:48 Comes forward and then just brings him on to a little short left hand, wasn't it?
07:52 That's all it was, but it was well-timed.
07:54 Look at that, as Moderna's coming forward, a bit off balance,
07:58 and just puts him down.
08:00 A well-timed shot from Hutchinson.
08:02 Certainly walked on to that, didn't he?
08:04 Take notes. Round three.
08:25 Well, that's a great start as Hutchinson trying to claim this title.
08:31 WBC International light heavyweight belt.
08:34 Moderna's got a bad jab himself.
08:45 John's got to throw more of them, but the speed and the quality of the punching
08:50 is better from Hutchinson.
08:52 Especially I like the way he just brings his opponent onto the shot
08:56 and adjusts his feet and takes a backward step now and again
08:59 and then throws the shot as the opponent walks into that space.
09:03 He's very good at doing that, bringing his opponent onto the shot.
09:06 Hutchinson never slow to trumpet his own abilities,
09:10 and he said in the run-up to this that he would score a knockout
09:14 inside four rounds. Here we are in the third.
09:17 He's got a good shot.
09:19 Had a spell being based up in Sheffield,
09:38 Willy Hutchinson with the Ingles, now with Mirko Wolff.
09:41 Cup man Andrew O'Neill, plenty of experience in that corner.
09:47 Hutchinson, John, very skilful, he can switch it.
09:51 He's just gone to save ball there, but that's when he's got to watch it for me,
09:54 because Moderna's got a very good right hand.
09:56 He caught Karol Atame with that shot, remember?
09:58 Karol Atame was the save ball.
10:01 He's described the other top light heavyweights in the country,
10:07 and goodness knows there are a lot of them as weightlifters,
10:11 as Willy Hutchinson. He said, "I can outbox a lot of them."
10:14 Time will tell.
10:16 That sort of thing can rebound on you, good right hand from Moderna.
10:23 Fortunately, Hutchinson just about managing to slip it.
10:27 Moderna showing his quality here, he's tucking up,
10:35 trying to block the shots now on the arms and the gloves.
10:38 And then if Hutchinson just holds the feet slightly too long,
10:43 he comes back with that right-hand counter.
10:46 Dangerous man indeed.
10:48 Good right hand, I was just going to say.
10:51 He's just taking his foot off the gas, Hutchinson,
10:53 and then he lands a shot like that.
10:55 Really started fast in those opening two rounds.
10:59 Hutchinson again, showing his quality, his talent,
11:05 switching to save ball, but got to watch when the feet come square.
11:08 Gets away with it there, that's when he'll be open to it.
11:11 That right-hand counter from Moderna.
11:14 Last few seconds of the third round.
11:19 Hutchinson winning the opener and big time taking the second.
11:24 And maybe, maybe just about doing enough,
11:26 but this big right hand from Moderna right on the bell.

12:08 Good start from Willy Hutchinson in this match.
12:10 His fights against Ezekiel Moderna,
12:13 but he took a few in the closing stages of that round.
12:16 There's a good right hand from the Argentinian.
12:19 Moderna just showing that he's still in the contest.
12:22 He lost the round, Hutchinson won the round.
12:25 Moderna just showing Hutchinson that he's there, he's competing.
12:33 Yep, been there, done it, lots of experience, Moderna.
12:38 Although that win against Karoly Tauma in January
12:42 was his first and only victory outside the boundary of his homeland.
12:47 Good work there from Moderna, good right hand that went in,
12:52 set up behind that jab.
12:54 Hutchinson just made the mistake there, switching off and holding the feet.
12:58 Moderna scored well.
13:00 He's put a lot into those opening three rounds, Hutchinson as well.
13:04 And his fans, I'm sure, will be hoping very much
13:08 that he's not going to gas if this fight goes into the trenches,
13:13 into the latter stages.
13:15 He's only been past six rounds once, hasn't he, Willy Hutchinson.
13:22 So he's not an experienced man at all over the ten rounds.
13:26 But he's done everything well up to now.
13:28 He started this contest, won the first three rounds.
13:30 Oh, what a shot!
13:31 Yes, and that's going to put him down, and that might win him the fight.
13:35 Hutchinson's in celebratory mood,
13:37 and I don't think Moderna really knows where he is.
13:40 He's struggling to get to his feet, and it's all over.
13:43 It's all over.
13:45 Willy Hutchinson found the punch he needed,
13:48 a right hand high on the head, and Moderna was down with it.
13:53 And he has won this title and won this fight spectacularly,
13:58 and the smiles speak volumes.
14:01 What a peach of a shot that was from Willy Hutchinson.
14:04 Right hand over the top, bang on the button,
14:07 and, yeah, Moderna, we said how dangerous he was with the right hand,
14:11 but that was just sheer quality.
14:14 The technique, the speed, the power, the timing was absolutely spot on.
14:19 And, yeah, Moderna, he couldn't recover from it.
14:22 And he's a tough kid, Moderna.
14:24 He's only been stopped, what, I think four times in his ten defeats,
14:27 so he's tough and he's dangerous, but that was sheer quality.
14:30 The timing and the technique there from Willy Hutchinson was A1.
14:35 Well, they always say that it's speed which is the difference,
14:38 and that was the conspicuous difference between the two of them.
14:42 And look how fast this game, when the end arrived for Willy Hutchinson.
14:47 Whack!
14:48 It's that right hand over the top, he draws the lead of his opponent.
14:53 And there, look at that timing.
14:56 And Moderna, he couldn't recover from that.
15:00 Just drawing the lead of his opponent and then he's whipped that right hand over.
15:05 Yeah, that's a good performance against a tough operator in Moderna,
15:09 a dangerous competitor indeed, but he's done the business there, Hutchinson.
15:14 Really significant victory for the Scotsman from Carstairs in Lanark.
15:19 He's had setbacks in his career, but as a light heavyweight,
15:23 he's starting to look the business, and I'm sure he'll want to go on from here
15:29 and test himself against one of those big British names.
15:33 I think you're right, John.
15:37 It's a great division, isn't it? The Callum Smiths, the Anthony Yars,
15:41 the Dan Aziz, Josh Bawatze, even Lyndon Arthur,
15:44 there's some real quality in our light heavyweight division.
15:47 And this fella, he's creeping up on them now,
15:50 so Willy Hutchinson, he's taken one step further to those fighters here tonight.
15:56 His supporters are in full voice, waving happily,
16:01 delighted with what their man has produced.
16:04 Moderna, meanwhile, shaking his head in the corner,
16:07 a little bit disconsolately, bitterly disappointed, but he's OK,
16:12 which is the main thing.
16:13 Back up off the canvas and recovering on his stool,
16:18 and shortly we will get confirmation of the results,
16:21 and Willy Hutchinson will get that WBC belt,
16:25 and he'll be absolutely delighted at that, I'm sure,
16:28 and he'll hope that there are many more to come.
16:32 It's an ebullient man in there right now, a very, very happy guy,
16:37 who knows that he's produced a terrific night's work.
16:41 He's moved into the light heavyweight division very well, hasn't he?
16:45 He had that one loss at super middle, moved up to light heavy,
16:48 and he's brought that speed, those reactions and those speed,
16:52 and the quality with him, so he's doing OK at light heavy,
16:56 he seems to be very happy in his life outside of boxing,
16:59 which means everything to a fighter, and it's showing in the ring,
17:02 so yes, he's going from strength to strength, Willy Hutchinson.
17:06 Moderna taking time to get off his stool, but he does so now,
17:10 and the two of them touch gloves, and a nice little show of respect there,
17:15 and a hug of two professionals, people who don't watch boxing regularly,
17:21 they sometimes don't get that, but they go in there, try their best,
17:25 hurt each other, but afterwards it's only a sport, it's only a fight,
17:30 and maybe they're going to remember that forever,
17:33 and that's the respect that boxing breeds.
17:37 Respect, and that's why it's the best sport in the world, John, for me.
17:41 Real men in there.
17:43 OK, let's get the confirmation of the result now.
17:46 Here, waiting patiently, is Dev Sarni.
17:52 Ladies and gentlemen, at the time of 1 minute 15 seconds in the fourth round,
17:58 your referee Kevin Parker calls a halt to this contest,
18:02 therefore your winner by knockout,
18:06 and new WBC International Light Heavyweight Champion,
18:13 Willy "The Hutch" Train Hutchinson!
18:20 (audience applauding)
