00:00 [Crowd noise]
00:15 Seconds out, round one.
00:18 [Buzzer]
00:33 [Crowd noise]
00:56 Alright, hello and welcome back to GBM Sports here at the Magnus Centre.
01:00 We're already underway with our first bout of the evening.
01:03 Stevie Levy is in the ring against Vasilevska.
01:05 I'm joined by the world champion, Ebony Bridges, as we are now underway.
01:11 And Ebony's already been a cracking start to the fight, hasn't it, for Stevie?
01:14 Yeah, definitely. You know, she's up against the southpaw.
01:16 We can see her doing the lead backhand.
01:18 Those right hands, that's always known to do that with the southpaw.
01:22 She's really trying to land that backhand.
01:24 You've got...
01:27 Vasilevska.
01:28 Vasilevska. Her name's a little bit tricky to say.
01:30 Zvitlana.
01:31 Zvitlana.
01:32 She's on her back foot and she's working, you know, trying to circle around the ring.
01:35 And we've got Stevie going down, you know, put the pressure on.
01:38 She looks game, though. I can't lie.
01:40 There you go. She let a few body shots off.
01:42 She seems like she's in there to rough and tough it out.
01:45 Beautiful backhand, right hand by Stevie landing there.
01:49 She's landing those backhands pretty well, actually, to be fair.
01:51 And she's using those feints, those feints.
01:53 And putting out that jab to set that beautiful again.
01:57 Big overhand there.
01:58 Nili lands, just skims off Vasilevska there.
02:01 She's 3-3, so she's definitely game in here to win.
02:03 And that's a good shot landed by her as well.
02:07 But so far so good for Stevie Levy on the front foot.
02:11 The aggressor of this fight, the aggressor of this round so far.
02:14 Nice body shot by Stevie. Straight backhand to the body.
02:19 She's trying to find...
02:21 Yeah, she's really looking for that right hand.
02:22 And obviously, you know, going up against the southpaw.
02:25 Most definitely. She's cornered.
02:27 Stevie Levy, bye.
02:28 Dave Allen, as many of you will already have known.
02:32 That camp is always energised, isn't it?
02:34 They've got some real personalities in that camp.
02:37 Big card underway tonight anyway.
02:50 After this, we've got Frank Ali and Lewis Norman.
02:53 Joe Hayden back, Josh Padley, Will Corley.
02:55 The very talented Will Corley.
02:57 Noman Hussain, as we know, a Sheffield favourite.
02:59 And Rhys More defending his title on the line here
03:02 as he won that against Hamid Ghaz last time around.
03:05 But this fight so far has opened up to a really action-packed start.
03:08 Both really game in.
03:09 Corners, 10 seconds.
03:11 Stevie on the front foot.
03:12 Let's see how she comes out in this second round.
03:14 Out of the six.
03:16 Seconds out, round two.
03:22 Round two of six.
03:23 Stevie Levy against Svitlana Vasiljevska.
03:27 Slams there.
03:29 Keeps the jab awake there.
03:34 Stevie Levy trying to find the range before letting the backhand go.
03:37 And that hook follows up.
03:39 That's a nice hook by Stevie pulling up off the right hand.
03:42 Timing the shots very well.
03:44 Yeah, she's doing well.
03:45 You know, putting the pressure on and cutting her off from the ring.
03:51 Vasiljevska is definitely one of those tough, tough, tough European fighters.
03:54 You can see with her style.
03:56 Hands up tight.
03:57 And lands the shots even when she gets caught just like that.
03:59 Great shot from Stevie.
04:01 You can tell that Svitlana is definitely skilled.
04:07 You know what I mean?
04:08 She's game, she's skilled, she's strong.
04:09 She actually looks quite strong.
04:10 And she's landing those shots pretty clean.
04:12 There's another straight backhand that landed.
04:15 But just moments before that, Stevie did land a really good hook.
04:17 And she looks like she's got a chin on her as well.
04:19 I've got to be honest, she's taken a few flush shots.
04:22 She's got quite a bit of good footwork, you know.
04:25 Svitlana, you know, working around that ring, keep moving.
04:28 She knows that if she sits there that Stevie's going to let go on her.
04:32 Yeah, I think that's--
04:33 Quite slick.
04:34 It's definitely coming to her advantage because Stevie Levy is on the front foot pushing forward throughout.
04:38 She's not really taking a step back.
04:40 Keeping alert, though.
04:43 She knows that there's danger coming back from Vitslana.
04:48 Oh, nice body shot by Stevie.
04:50 It's a good fight so far.
04:54 Evenly matched per se, but Stevie does look like she's edging it.
04:58 Good shots.
04:59 I feel like it's very dangerous in the pocket and they're both letting go.
05:02 Yeah, she's got to be--
05:03 Stevie's got to be a little bit careful of not falling in with her punches
05:05 because she's falling in, she's getting countered there.
05:07 Good little counter hook, but Svitlana does find her shots.
05:13 I think she's found a bit more success in this round, hasn't she?
05:16 Yeah, I think so.
05:17 She gets caught.
05:18 Good fight.
05:21 Yeah, that was a much closer round.
05:22 Ebony, if you were in the corner of Stevie, what are you advising after two rounds?
05:33 We've seen quite a lot already in terms of what the opponent is capable of
05:37 and we've also seen Stevie's strength.
05:39 So what are you telling her in the corner?
05:41 I'd be telling her to keep the pressure, but she has to move her head.
05:43 Move her head, especially after the punches.
05:45 What's happening is Stevie's laying a bunch of them, she's kind of getting countered back.
05:48 So she has to keep her chin down, keep it tight and move that head.
05:51 But, you know, second round, so I feel like Svitlana is coming back for those counters.
06:01 She's got tight little shots in the body as well.
06:03 I'd like to see Stevie just use a bit more feints and get the range right
06:07 instead of falling in with the shots when she's trying to counter.
06:10 She really is spubbing those body shots when they're in the clinch, aren't they?
06:13 She was 6'7" that one time.
06:15 Second round, round three.
06:19 Stevie's shots have been very precise.
06:23 She's followed up each with meaningful, menacing shots.
06:28 And we're into the third half of the fight.
06:30 There you go.
06:31 Got some good straight shots there, Stevie.
06:34 Yeah, but Svitlana got off the ropes pretty fast and she's got quite good footwork.
06:37 Definitely, and she catches Stevie again there.
06:41 Nice up and down work by Svitlana.
06:43 She went to the body and then the head.
06:45 I'd like to see Stevie go to the body a little bit more,
06:47 even jab the body or just feints a little bit more to land that backhand.
06:50 It looks like Svitlana knows that Stevie's going for that backhand,
06:53 so she's keeping her guard up nice and tight because it's coming.
06:56 I think she just needs a bit of variation there.
06:58 Yeah, she's almost waiting for it to come to counter, isn't she?
07:02 And she looks like she's got her eye on the ball, just misses with that hook there.
07:06 But I feel like this is good work for Stevie as she's got an opponent in there
07:10 now who won't just stand there and trade.
07:15 I'm trying not to shout for my mate.
07:17 Ebony's here.
07:18 I'm just like came in, but I just want to sit there and yell it up.
07:21 I know, she's struggling. Ebony is struggling to keep neutral here.
07:25 But it's all right.
07:26 I think everyone does know that you are good friends with Stevie Levy.
07:29 And I've been in this position before.
07:31 This is a very intense fight as well, so I can't blame you.
07:35 I'm on edge.
07:36 It's very close.
07:38 Stevie eyeing up the options here.
07:43 She's slowed down a little bit and she just lands there but gets caught on the way in.
07:47 Definitely a bit more of a chess match in her brain now than what she probably expected from this opponent.
07:53 Nice little uppercut from the angle there from Svitlana.
07:58 I think this is turning into a bit more of a thinking game for Stevie, isn't it?
08:02 Yeah, definitely. Svitlana is definitely a skill you can see.
08:05 She's tactical.
08:08 A bit loaded up that backhand there from Stevie.
08:13 Still on the front foot.
08:15 Nice counter on the way in. Good.
08:17 End of round three. We're halfway through the fight now.
08:22 Between Stevie Levy and Svitlana Vasilevska.
08:26 It's really getting close now.
08:28 Yeah, it's coming close. It is very close.
08:32 She's really impressing me, Svitlana.
08:35 What I'm seeing about Stevie is she's thinking a lot.
08:38 She's not really rushing. She's moving her head on the way in.
08:41 She's trying to use her feints to set things up.
08:43 I can see her working and thinking.
08:44 She's putting on pressure.
08:45 I think she just needs to keep her chin down, come in and let those hands go a little bit more when she's there.
08:50 Because she's doing one-twos and then Svitlana's coming back.
08:53 Where I think she needs a couple more or move off and go again for the second phase.
08:58 I wonder what they are telling Stevie here in the corner.
09:06 Seems very...
09:08 Corner's ten seconds.
09:10 And we're into the fourth round now.
09:13 I feel like Svitlana's definitely coming confident.
09:17 Seconds out. Round four.
09:18 This is round number one. Round number one she seems a little bit more unsettled.
09:22 But since then she seems to be coming into the fight a lot more.
09:26 But Stevie Levy here.
09:27 Back out in the fourth round.
09:29 Back to what she's been doing the whole fight. Aggressing the front foot.
09:33 Pushing Svitlana back.
09:35 Some good body shots there from Stevie Levy. Good aggression there as well.
09:38 Svitlana tries to turn it around but doesn't really land any shots there.
09:43 Stevie just gets away.
09:44 Back behind a jab.
09:46 You can tell Svitlana's very strong actually. Physically strong.
09:49 Most definitely.
09:50 We saw there just in the corner when Stevie did land some really good body shots.
09:55 Svitlana managed to still get a hold and move up.
09:58 A little counter there from Stevie.
10:01 Nice uppercut from Svitlana.
10:02 Some really, really good shots being thrown off by both fighters here.
10:08 I must say it's a very evenly matched fight. A very good matched fight actually.
10:12 Wouldn't like to be judging it.
10:16 I would not like to be judging it. You're correct.
10:18 Oh nice. Nice lead backhand with a hook there from Stevie. That was great.
10:22 Caught it nice and clean there.
10:24 She's going back to that uppercut a few times.
10:26 I feel like that's one shot that's working for her well.
10:28 But her hands are low, her hands are down.
10:30 I feel like she may be using it a bit too much confidence.
10:33 But you never know.
10:36 Good body shot from Stevie there.
10:39 Corner advising her not to let her off after the backhand.
10:45 Yeah like I said before a bit more than just the one, you know, more than one and two shots.
10:49 She needs to do the second, you know, second phases.
10:53 That's exactly what the corner were advising there.
10:55 She just misses her shot.
10:56 Beautiful left hook from Stevie at the end there.
10:58 One-hand exchange.
11:00 These exchanges are fast both are landing.
11:02 It's hard to almost tell who's got the better shot off.
11:04 Last few moments of this round.
11:12 Big shot there from Stevie.
11:14 It just missed.
11:15 There was a clash of heads there.
11:17 Yep. Looked like a clash of heads.
11:22 Yeah, she's okay.
11:23 She's bleeding. I think it's her nose.
11:25 I think it actually quite smashed her nose.
11:27 It might have been forehead or nose actually.
11:29 Yeah, it is her nose.
11:30 I feel like she smashed her nose a little bit so now her nose is bleeding.
11:32 She's got blood coming from her nose.
11:33 Yeah, definitely.
11:34 There you go. We can see the blood from the nose.
11:36 Nasty one those ones aren't they?
11:38 Not they.
11:39 [Music]
12:08 Conor's ten seconds.
12:10 Seconds out.
12:17 Round five.
12:18 Into the fifth round.
12:20 This is where it gets crucial now because like you said you wouldn't want to be scoring this fight.
12:24 And thus far it's very hard to judge.
12:26 It depends what the judges do like to see but these last two rounds are going to be the game changer in my opinion.
12:33 [Music]
12:41 Both using the jabs. Not as fast as a start as we've seen.
12:44 Good little short left hook there from Stevie.
12:46 Catches her again.
12:48 Good body shot.
12:49 Good little combination there. That's what she needs to do more of.
12:52 Let her hands go a little bit.
12:56 She's found success when she has let them go.
12:58 Oh, nice up and down change. Level change there from Stevie.
13:02 That's when she's got to come back. You know what I mean?
13:05 She needs to counter those punches. That's what she needs to do.
13:07 Yeah, like that.
13:08 That was a good counter there.
13:10 Vasilisco just sort of walked forward.
13:14 No real balance.
13:17 I feel like if anything landed there cleanly it could have been a knockdown.
13:21 But Livi looking back into her confidence.
13:24 Continuously really attacking and dominating this pace of the fight.
13:30 You've got to stay on her. You've got to be on her and stay on her.
13:33 The corner seem a little bit frustrated with Stevie there.
13:36 Trying to tell her to stay on her.
13:38 Yeah, she's got...
13:41 Stevie needs to win these rounds.
13:43 It's so hard for me not to yell out at her.
13:47 It is hard. I can tell she's on edge guys.
13:51 She's on edge.
13:52 She's got a tough opponent in there.
13:54 Most definitely.
13:55 And I think when you have it, it's almost unorthodox a little bit as well.
13:59 You see she's...
14:00 Well, southpaw for starters which is always a little bit difficult.
14:03 But then the way she's moving...
14:05 It seems very unorthodox at times when she's coming from the angle.
14:09 So I can understand why it's difficult.
14:10 But Stevie has found success. It's not like she hasn't.
14:13 Good backhand there as well.
14:15 She's diving in a little bit.
14:17 Good work there.
14:19 Svitlana.
14:21 That was a close round.
14:22 Maybe Stevie got that one there. I don't know.
14:24 But then she came back. Svitlana came back stronger there.
14:26 Well, as we go into the last round, I've got to ask you the question.
14:29 Who do you think is edging this fight?
14:30 Five rounds in.
14:31 Like I said, I don't want to have to judge this fight.
14:36 Eben is finding it difficult.
14:39 She's just gone over there now to give Stevie some advice in the corner.
14:44 I'm going to be asking her what she said there.
14:49 I've got to ask you.
14:50 What was the advice that you've just given?
14:52 Without the swear words? I said let your hands go.
14:55 She said let her hands go.
14:56 Waiting too much.
14:58 Most definitely.
15:00 Bonus ten seconds.
15:02 If she can win this round, then she can win the fight.
15:04 Seconds out for your sixth and final round.
15:10 And the winner is...
15:11 Svitlana.
15:12 Svitlana.
15:15 Seconds out for your sixth and final round.
15:18 We are into the final round of this bout between Stevie Levy and Svitlana Vasilescu.
15:27 It's been a very close fight.
15:30 She just gets caught there against Stevie.
15:32 Svitlana really has found her rhythm in terms of countering some of the shots.
15:39 Yeah, she's got the timing on.
15:40 She has got the timing on point.
15:42 Ebony waving Stevie on here to let her hands go.
15:46 And she is letting her hands go in this round.
15:49 Another head clash. That looked like a head clash there.
15:53 Big guts from both fighters.
15:55 They're really not backing down now.
15:57 And even Svitlana has that away fight.
16:00 She's coming here to win.
16:01 Stevie's landing a bit more of them shots landing now.
16:04 Yeah, she's landing like she's dirty.
16:06 You can see her in her eyes.
16:08 Bit more aggression.
16:09 Big right hand.
16:10 Big cut and that's one for the legs of Svitlana.
16:12 Another one rocks the head back.
16:14 And that was probably the best moment in the fight for Stevie.
16:21 And she's coming forward.
16:22 She eats a shot of her own.
16:23 This is getting very, very action packed here now.
16:26 Stevie has taken the words of Ebony Bridges and applied it instantly.
16:32 She was yelling from the beginning but no.
16:34 She's doing well this round.
16:37 That shot's definitely, you know.
16:38 Maybe you shouldn't have been on top.
16:40 I didn't want to be but I'm here.
16:42 It's all good.
16:43 You know what? It's all right.
16:44 Let your words out.
16:45 She might have to hear them now as well.
16:47 No, I think she's doing well in this round.
16:48 She's doing exactly what she needs to do.
16:50 She needs to keep that pressure on there.
16:51 Good right hand there.
16:53 She lands some really good shots.
16:54 And I think she is on her way of winning this round if she keeps this pace up for sure.
16:58 She's hurt Svitlana for the first time in the fight.
17:01 Big shot again.
17:03 And she's followed it up with the hooks.
17:04 She's got to be aware of what's coming back because Svitlana
17:07 is all bloodied up right now but she's throwing back
17:10 into the last moments of this fight.
17:12 Nice shots from Stevie.
17:15 Bit of a headlock going on there.
17:20 And that is the end of a fight.
17:22 A very, very good fight between Stevie Levy.
17:24 It was a good fight.
17:25 It was a very evenly matched fight.
17:26 From a neutral point of view.
17:28 Not from an ebony point of view.
17:29 No, no.
17:30 It was an evenly matched fight.
17:31 It was a tough fight.
17:32 Very tough fight for Stevie.
17:33 I would like to see what the judges think but
17:34 she clearly won that last round.
17:35 I would like to see her do that a bit earlier on in the fight.
17:37 But that was very hard for me to commentate guys because
17:40 I just wanted to scream at her.
17:41 So, yeah.
17:42 She may have just edged it.
17:45 That final round was very, very good.
17:46 That round was a very, very strong round.
17:48 I mean she hurts Svitlana for the first time in the fight.
17:49 That was the first time either fighter was hurt in the fight.
17:52 Yeah.
17:53 I think I'm going to get these comms off now guys.
18:01 I think she might scream when Stevie does win.
18:03 So, let's head over back into the ring and get the official result.
18:06 Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, it's a great way to get the evening underway.
18:30 Put your hands together for both boxers.
18:33 After six rounds of action, we go to referee Andy Brooks' scorecard.
18:40 He scores the contest 58 points to 57 points in favour of your winner from
18:49 Kingsley Norfolk Super Stevie Levy.
