00:00 You know what I expect a good clean fight obey my commands and protect yourself at all times touch gloves. Good luck
00:07 We started off the night with the fighter and Stephen Shaw who had a lackluster
00:13 Performance his last time out the same could be said about Jeremiah Milton fighting at home in Tulsa, Oklahoma
00:18 On April 1st, he rarely threw more than one shot at a time against Fabio Maldonado. He said that night
00:25 I didn't tell anybody but I felt sick tonight. You will see the real version of dreamland Milton
00:31 I hope so because I ain't trying to go to sleep tonight watching the heavyweight matchup because the last time he was in the ring
00:35 I almost went to sleep. He couldn't put Maldonado to sleep the UFC fighter, but he put Tim Bradley to sleep
00:42 He's going up against
00:45 296 point five pound Willie Harvey
00:48 You've been punching bag. That's what he's up against Harvey got some hands though. You see you got some quickness
00:54 With his shots and he's gonna be looking to land as
00:56 Milton try to get off of punches and get a little bit relaxed on his defense on the way out
01:01 His opponent Harvey is a barber at the bios unisex salon out in Charlotte, North Carolina
01:09 grew up in New Jersey, but he alternated going back and forth between his home state and North Carolina since
01:17 1996
01:20 Lump lump is what they call them lump lump
01:22 and
01:24 the only way
01:26 Milton you say tonight
01:29 Gets hurt gets dropped or gets beat or get knocked out is if he makes a mistake if he keeps
01:36 Harvey on the outside just like that with his jab throws right hands clean punching and at the proper distance. He shouldn't have no problem
01:44 We already saw one young man get upset tonight now with Stephen Shaw
01:49 But in our opening bout against Joe good all but good all had the goods - oh, yeah the goods
01:54 Oh, yeah different level of opposition. We'd have to say different level, but one of those haymakers. Yeah can get in there
02:00 Give him a bus cut with the left hook because he's a barber
02:06 Nice body work there from Milton finishes a combination up with the overhand right to the chin
02:13 Oh
02:15 That stick makes the head of Harvey go backwards
02:23 And you know Harvey's doing his best to contend with the speed and the height and size
02:32 Of Milton but
02:36 You know, yeah, I could just tell he's out good. This is gonna end bad
02:41 You know if Milton just gets a little bit busier with his jab and start blinding
02:47 The vision of Harvey and come behind with a power shot a right hand it can be lights out
02:53 Me Harvey's got a left hook and that's what he's trying to catch Milton coming in with
03:01 There's that right hand though from Milton in that stick
03:08 See that's what I'm saying, I mean it you see right there Milton getting out
03:12 But he's dropping his guards on the way out and you see what Harvey's doing. He's attacking him three guys
03:17 He knows those are opportunities when he's out of positions and not protecting himself
03:21 Let's send it to Mark Kriegel who is now with Maxie Hughes our main event fighter who's in the Oklahoma spirit
03:27 I'm here with Maxie Hughes who's taking upon himself to wear the black hat. Why?
03:32 We're in cowboy town
03:35 Listen we're here for one reason that's because you have kept asking for George Campbell's is what do you see about him?
03:41 The rest of us may not
03:42 Listen, that's all gonna be explained when we're out there when you see my hand raised after that fight
03:48 You know, he's vulnerable for some reason you see something. Come on, give it up just my style my style. I've got the beating of him
03:55 I've got his number and he's he don't he don't know it yet, but he's gonna find out
03:59 You're the B side here. He's the a side. He's the known quantity. How do you deal with that?
04:05 How I deal with it every time every time I've seemed to be the B side, you know
04:10 And every time I come out on top no different here who has the pressure tonight?
04:14 George
04:16 How will that manifest itself in the ring?
04:18 We'll see, you know, it could be as undoing he could get in his own head
04:22 You know, he puts a lot of pressure on himself with his the words he says so that's all on him
04:28 I really appreciate it maxie. Who's you've been great this week Bernardo back to you
04:32 Maxie Hughes underdog in six of his seven last fights. He won all of those and he said for those
04:38 I wasn't even supposed to finish on my feet. So he's in familiar territory Tim
04:44 Comfortable with the world being against him and the odds against him
04:48 perfect opportunity
04:51 It's the way it should be
04:53 boom
04:55 The right hand over the top again from Harvey
04:58 Perfect average opportunity to shine to show your greatness
05:01 That's what it's about you want to be you want the odds against you just so you can show your greatness and rise above it
05:08 All well, you went and did it when you won your first title out in the UK
05:13 Yeah, and he's out here doing it in his only second fight outside of the United Kingdom
05:19 First fight was in Dubai and here he is in Shawnee, Oklahoma
05:22 Trying to erase Campos off the lightweight contender map
05:27 The winner of that fight our main event tonight on ESPN at 10 Eastern will be the second ranked
05:33 Fighter for the IBF and if Devin Haney decides to give up all his belts to move up to 140
05:39 Then there will be a vacant belt on the line soon hands-free guys. Get out of there on your own
05:45 I just feel like Milton thinks too much
05:47 He's thanks too much. He thinks about what he's doing too much
05:51 You know when you're in there fighting a lot of times is react you're reacting you're reacting to what you're seeing
05:57 You know, there's there's those two occasions where you're actually in there thinking and you have seconds to think but most of the time
06:02 You're just reacting to what you see you see a jab, you know, right hand comes over the top this
06:07 Milton doesn't set up the next phase. He lands one shot and then he sits there and my eyes is work
06:14 What's the next move after?
06:16 You know beats two three steps ahead of your opponent. That's next level stuff and
06:22 We are six fights removed from that viral moment where he left Dave on Daphne hanging on the rope
06:29 Yes, he was recognized by 50 cents ain't all you're the dude that left homie hanging on the rope
06:34 Well, guess what? It's not been the same guy since then so he needs to find himself
06:40 Yeah, you know, it's important to know, you know, let's go
06:43 What you want to achieve?
06:45 You know, you got to understand you got to be ready with the backup plan, you know
06:50 So you can be one step ahead
06:53 It's just like when you're playing the game Bernardo you're playing a game you want to be a step or you're a step ahead of
06:59 Your opponent, you know, you don't want to be level to level with them. You want to be a step ahead. That's how you win
07:04 Milton is not just playing that. Yeah, that's a nice body shot though from Milton
07:10 But that's a right hand and Harvey shakes it off
07:14 But Milton has an opportunity as he now has some reeling the almost 300 pounder reeling backwards
07:20 And here is Jeremiah Milton trying to send him to dreamland, but Harvey does just enough to hold on
07:27 Good finish from Jeremiah Milton there with the right hand
07:31 The crowd gets a little bit excited inside the fire lake arena here
07:39 In Shawnee, Oklahoma as Mike battle goes to work and so does Rodney Chrysler
07:44 You starting to hurt him, okay
07:53 Keep the pressure on the body. I need the body work to make all that other shit work
08:00 You gotta go that body once you go to body everything else
08:04 You gotta give me the body shots, okay
08:09 I'm slowing down, but you got to make them slow down with the body shot. Okay hit him with the body every every combination
08:16 I want a body
08:18 Familiar voice for Jeremiah Milton in that corner Rodney Chrysler who came back after being away for one fight the worst fight in the
08:29 career of Jeremiah Milton against Fabio Maldonado on April 1st and
08:34 Here he is after being in camp with Anthony Joshua and Dallas under the guidance of Derek James
08:39 He sparked Tyson Fury Luis Ortiz Joe Joyce Frank chant Sanchez the who's who of the heavyweight division now
08:46 He's got a show that he belongs in that list
08:48 Listen you know he got a stop
08:53 Showing that he's just a spar partner because that's what I'm seeing right now from milk
08:57 There's so much more than this guy can do you know there's no doubt in my mind. He's athletic
09:03 He can move he has a great mind his eyes are wide open here
09:07 You know he has power in his shots, but he's not putting it all together
09:11 He has to find a way to put it all all together, and he needs to deliver explosives knockouts
09:17 and explosive performances
09:20 I mean both
09:22 Jeremiah Milton and
09:24 Stephen Shaw who was upset earlier on this card are on the heels of
09:29 The great American heavyweight hope and Jared Anderson, but Tim they got to be impressive to even be
09:35 Named along that look and we're talking about and Anderson still being steps away from the top
09:40 But I better keep Anderson name out of the mouth. I'm just gonna let you know that right now. You know
09:46 Harvey Harvey is literally and no offense
09:50 He's a guy
09:52 He cut hair
09:54 He's not supposed to be in there he got some hands he's throwing back. He's fighting back strong
09:59 He's finding his opportunities, but he's there to be hit
10:02 That's why this fight was made to get Milton to knock out and he might just very well get it
10:07 But how you know who got a knockout against Willie?
10:10 How'd you get on guys back to dear Jala Bob the Jala?
10:14 Bob giant with a straight left he was never he's never been dropped actually so he didn't go down
10:19 But he was in such bad shape that the referee had to step in and stop the fight
10:24 Wave it off out in Tustin, California. Now you see Milton landing that left hook
10:28 Look I'm testing these young guys. I think I know they can be better. I know Milton can be better
10:37 I know he can look better. He can do better. He has skills
10:41 There's no doubt in my mind, but he needs to put it all together
10:46 Don't hold keep your head up you fight in the lump lumps fight I
10:50 Mean listen, there's a lot of opportunities
10:54 It's almost like he's carrying him and that's the spar partner type of mentality you can't beat on the champion
10:59 You want to carry him you you pull back on your shots, and that's what happens sometimes
11:04 It's good to spar you know elite fighters
11:07 And sometimes it's not it depends on what you in there for if you in there to get the work for yourself
11:12 That's great. If you're not
11:14 I got you step back
11:16 Watch your heads
11:22 Nice flurry there for Harvey would he hit me with the four-piece like that man out of enough said all right mark regal is in
11:29 The locker room with George Campbell's his former champ
11:32 Hey champ. You know most guys take two losses you worry about their confidence. That's not you is it?
11:39 you know
11:42 confidence has always been instilled in myself my belief and
11:46 Yeah, losses don't bother me now for me. I've built from them losses, but what has built my self-confidence is the preparation
11:52 I've had I've had an unbelievable preparation, and it's gonna show tonight
11:56 Guys do learn about themselves and defeat. What does it taught you?
12:01 Told me a lot, but the biggest thing like I said, I'm greedy right now, and I'm gonna show it tonight
12:07 Maxie who's wants this fight to change his life. What do you want this fight to do?
12:11 It's changed my life again this sets up big opportunities again, and this shows that the world that ferocious is back
12:16 Tell me the fight you want most
12:19 Look, I'm focused on Maxie Hughes. That's that's my most focus right now
12:23 I'm gonna do a job on him, but after that we can discuss other options, and we'll see who's there
12:28 We'll talk about after the fight for now
12:30 I'm very seasoned and we're focused on Maxie use good luck to you champ. Thank you very much
12:35 Bernardo back to you the word gritty was used throughout the fight fighter meeting as well Tim
12:41 And I think gritty is the best version of George cambosis where he gets out there, and he's in your face
12:47 He's on top of you. He's making you work every moment of every round. That's that's that's George Campbell's right
12:53 Yeah, no doubt that's George Campbell's is at his best. You know he digs down deep
12:57 He likes to get in the trenches he likes to get aggressive
12:59 But he needs someone to be in front of him
13:02 To be able to do what George Campbell's is does and that's why this fight is intriguing at night because he has Maxie Hughes on the
13:09 Other hand that doesn't stand there and fight. He doesn't have punching power
13:13 So he has to rely on tactics his tactics ability, and he also has to rely on technique
13:19 So we'll see if that new connection with Don house over at City Athletic Club in Las Vegas
13:24 will work out on the footwork and the angles that he's gonna need to
13:28 Contend with a fighter and slow down a fighter with the abilities of Maxie Hughes in our main
13:33 And I could tell you something about fighting a southpaw as well
13:35 The pressure if you pressure a southpaw you can take those angles away
13:41 You know and that's what I think this fight
13:44 Actually was made I did I understand that Maxie Hughes made this fight happen
13:48 I understand why George and them feel that they can dominate him because they don't have much to give off
13:53 He don't have punching power to keep him up off of him so the pressure
13:57 That's what they're anticipating and hoping for the pressure to get to
14:01 Maxie Hughes and will remind you that
14:04 Campos is not faced a southpaw since his third professional fight
14:09 He was many Pacquiao sparring partner and more importantly here Jim
14:13 I got something that can't be overlooked that I got you team camp bosses has
14:17 Vasily Lomachenko on their mind because that fight was signed before
14:22 The conflict in the Ukraine happened that took Vasily out of that fight, so
14:27 This is a possible preparation for that fight although Shakur Stevenson and Vasily Lomachenko could be in the near future
14:35 And here we see the power of Jeremiah Milton as he starts to tee off on Willie Harvey get your hands free
14:42 Harvey could take a shot. Oh nice left uppercut there from Milton now. He digs to the body
14:52 Trying to lump
14:54 Up lump lump
14:57 Straight right
14:59 That was a power shot from Jeremiah Milton and Harvey says you know what?
15:03 Carry these 296 and a half pounds for a minute on his legs look at them legs
15:09 That's a big man to take down Harvey got some legs on him oh
15:18 Taking some big hellacious shots against the ropes standing straight up Milton's trying to get him up out of there
15:24 Telling you that's what he's looking for
15:29 One shot doing a maker almost 300 pounds. You know he can crack if you give him a shot
15:35 You don't have to weigh under you know 300 pounds to crack because at a hundred and thirty-five pounds the lightweight division as hot as
15:43 They come Devin Haney for now is still the undisputed champion
15:46 I mean look at the talent that we have there those top four are
15:51 amazing fighters Loma chanko Jermont a Davis
15:55 Shakur Stevenson I mean top the bottom Tim. This is your hottest division hottest division
16:01 I believe in boxing I would say right up there with 140 pounds as well
16:06 With with the emergence of Tiafemo Lopez going up there Josh Taylor's gonna be pulling up to 147 and
16:14 You know these type of divisions right here if the belts get loose we gonna have fights
16:20 Free for all one guy that holds all the belts
16:24 Up stopped it the fight has been stopped in the corner of Willie Harvey
16:29 And I think that's the right choices Jeremiah Milton was coming on that right hand that he
16:34 Connected there at the end around four
16:36 was gonna spell the beginning of the end and the corner saw exactly that and
16:42 Avery young and just said let's just stop this
16:46 I'm not impressed. I'm gonna be honest with you flat-out. I'm not impressed with
16:51 Jeremiah Milton
16:54 You know I know he has I know he has skills
16:58 He had a punching bag in front of the night. You know and he looked mediocre. He didn't look good at all
17:04 You know I don't personally I don't think he's a prospect and there's no disrespect and no shade towards him
17:09 I like him as a person, but I'm just being completely honest
17:12 You know in my assessment. He got the job done great, but you know what if I don't
17:18 See Milton again. I wouldn't be mad I
17:21 Mean I'm sure we will see him. He's got his 10th professional win right now, and how did he get it?
17:27 Let's listen to the corner on how the determination was made for Willie Harvey to not come out for that fifth round
17:33 I
17:35 Was starting to get swollen, but it was not enough. It was just the fact that they saw the writing on the wall
17:57 Yeah, I mean Milton was gonna come on strong and the later half of the round you know you saw
18:03 Harvey started fading fading late took a lot of big shots around the previous round before that in the previous round before that
18:09 But you know tough got a lot of heart a lot of grit
18:13 You know he didn't want to he was seeming a little bit sad that the fight was getting stopped
18:16 But I'm just glad the referee stepped in and stopped the action all right mark
18:20 Shinnok has the official time of the stop ladies and ladies and gentlemen here inside the fire lake arena in Shawnee, Oklahoma
18:27 Referee Mark Nelson and the blue corner come together to halt this bout at the conclusion of the fourth round
18:33 declaring your winner by
18:36 technical knockout
18:38 Jeremiah
18:39 dreamland
18:41 But Jeremiah Milton earns his 10th victory seventh stoppage win against an overmatch of Willie Harvey
18:49 You've got more action to come when we return to Shawnee, Oklahoma
18:53 Oklahoma.
