00:00 I say break, stop boxing and take a step back, I'll obey my commands at all times, most importantly
00:04 protect yourself at all times. Six rounds, fist flips.
00:07 I've been looking forward to this one, like I say contrasting two fights for Aaron Bowen.
00:22 First round destruction in his debut, then a very good fight, entertaining fight with
00:28 tough Aljaz Vento. Baron like I say comes into this fight, six wins, only one defeat.
00:37 What catches the eye is the five stoppages on the record. Like I say he was 165 pounds
00:47 on the scales yesterday and you can see he looks in good shape, positive start on the
00:51 front foot Barry. Yeah it is, but it's important for Bowen just to keep those elbows tucked
00:56 nice and tight, the hands up when you've got someone like Baron who's a loose puncher and
01:00 obviously he carries a bit of power, just to stay safe. Even when you throw a shot make
01:03 sure you're all, your elbows tucked nice and tight, you're nice and neat, so if any straight
01:10 punches you can block them quite effectively and just work way beyond the jab into the
01:14 fight. They're looking composed isn't he? Bowen on the back foot, Baron equally as composed
01:23 just creeping forward, you can see the concentration on the face of the Colombian. Nice little
01:29 shot up a cut there from Bowen. Just measuring the distance with that lead hand, Bowen looking
01:41 for that one-two, taken nicely on the guard from Baron. Like you say Barry's a loose puncher,
01:49 Baron doesn't mind taking one to land his shot. But with that there's a gap down the
01:54 middle. Yeah there is. That's what Bowen's got, like he's doing right now actually, just
01:57 keeping it nice and simple, nice long straight shots. And that's what he's very good at,
02:01 I've actually sparred Aaron when he was on Team GB and yeah he's very good with the straight
02:06 shots. I'd like to see him touch a jab a little bit more, you know try to nullify Baron a
02:11 little bit, stop him coming forward so much, but it's only the first round. Yeah and I
02:17 think just you know he's just trying to time in there, when he comes forward he takes a
02:21 little step back there, like you see there Bowen and just throws a nice little one-two
02:26 down the line. Like I say, oh left hook, just leaning back on the ropes there Bowen, just
02:32 taking a shot, he took the sting out of the left hook but something that the Colombian
02:37 Baron can build off, build off of. Like I say Baron, bit of an unknown quantity coming
02:44 into this fight, did travel to Glasgow last time, losing the fight. That's what I'm talking
02:50 about. Yeah that's better, looking for the right hand over the jab of Bowen. See this
02:56 lean back thing, everybody does it now and if when it works you make someone miss by
03:00 an inch, looks great and you can fire back with the shot, but with that it takes the
03:05 glove away from your chin automatically. And also the balance is not great, if you take
03:09 a little step back or learn to slip inside shots, you can keep your gloves up high there
03:14 doing that, let the punches come over your head. It takes a while to master, once you
03:19 get that right, means you can fire off the movement.
03:22 Yeah I must say positive start there from Baron on the front foot, creeping forward
03:30 looking for big shots, he did land a left hook. Seeing the composure from Bowen poking
03:37 out the jab. Yeah there was a few straight shots that got through from Baron, but all
03:43 in all I think, certainly earlier in the round, I think Bowen could control it quite comfortably
03:48 with the long straight shots. What he's got to do is not allow Baron to get comfortable.
03:53 And like he did there, he maybe put a little bit more weight in the jab or make him feel
03:58 a little bit of something or change the tempo now and again. Baron then by the end of the
04:02 round got a little more comfortable, a little more used to the rhythm and then was able
04:06 to mould an attack. We've referenced it a couple of times Shev in the first two fights,
04:11 the importance of a feint, you think that would work well for Bowen in this fight? Yeah
04:15 I think it would and also just you know, plant your feet a little bit, bang bang, you know
04:20 two, a straight one two, stop him coming forward at will. We're into the second round and Bowen
04:28 looking to hold the center of the ring and trade with Baron. They've told Baron in the
04:33 corner already, is he hurting you? And he said no, he said well just throw with him
04:37 then. That's what he said in the corner. Trading blows, sorry Shev. Both planting the feet
04:43 and letting big shots go, the start of this second round. And that's fine for Bowen, he
04:48 will find a gap there but he has to move his feet after he throws the punches and not in
04:52 a straight line back, around in that semi circle around the body. That was nice, jab
05:01 upstairs, drop the right to the body, then looking for the left to the body and he's
05:04 drawn, he's gone down, he hits him as he's down. While he's on the floor. Well he was
05:10 down on one knee and Bowen throws another shot. There hasn't been no appeals from the
05:18 Colombian, it was a lovely shot to the body, I think it was a left to the body under the
05:23 right rib cage of Baron. Well that changed quick. Out of nowhere. It was a great body
05:30 shot but I tell you something there, Bowen's got a wee bit of a run there. Yep. And the
05:34 way Baron jumped on the floor, I thought he's jumping on the floor but when he hit them
05:38 on the floor there with the right hook, I thought he's jumping on the floor there and
05:41 trying to get him disqualified. He's not complained, which is surprising. I thought exactly the
05:45 same Barry, when he took that shot the way he sort of rolled round on the floor, as if
05:51 he was going to milk it a little bit. It was a lovely body shot, it was shades of Mateo
05:56 Gomez in his day. But let's have a look at the shot again. The elbow's a little bit high
05:59 here, you can see now with Bowen he just dips down to the left, it's a lovely bit of a body
06:03 shot and this is unnecessary, no need for that. He skims him with the shot, but there's
06:09 no need to throw it, that could have got him disqualified. A little bit of loose knee of
06:14 your head, a little bit of lost composure there, could have cost him the fight there.
06:18 But up until that point it's a fantastic body shot, beautifully delivered. I have to say,
06:24 I'm not sure if he really crouched down, but did his hands touch the canvas? That is the
06:31 question, you see he dips down now, I can't see that right hand if he does touch. No,
06:36 but the knees on the floor. It was the knee on the floor. I'm pretty sure the knee's on
06:40 the floor. You may see it, look, it was a lovely left to the body, it was a beautiful
06:49 shot, like I say shades of Gomez in the first fight. It's right inside the elbow as well.
06:55 You'll see it now, the elbow, there's a little gap between the arms there and he just sees
06:59 it. We mentioned about the gap between the arms to me earlier on. That's a lovely shot
07:03 there, right in the soles of his plexus. There's the left to the body, let's see now, he dips
07:07 down, the knee comes down. He's lucky he only kept him, but the way he's jumped on the floor,
07:14 I thought he was playing a fastball, but actually I think he was crippled by that body shot.
07:17 He was in pain. Yeah, it was a beautiful shot, it really was. You can see Aaron Bowen just
07:23 looking at the monitor here, checking out the shot himself. I mean one thing we didn't
07:28 address is he brings a crowd with him. He does, he does, brings a lot of support from
07:33 Coventry. He moves to Freno, MC, David Diamante is ready. Let's hand over to him now.
07:41 Ladies and gentlemen, referee Ryan Churchill reaches the count of 10 at 52 seconds of round
07:52 number two, declaring your winner by knockout, he's still undefeated, Aaron Bowen.
08:03 Well, whether he needed to throw that last shot or not, I don't think he had to. Baron
08:14 was completely gone in. It was a fantastic body shot, it really was. Like I say, very
08:19 similar to his debut performance. The nice left to the body really finds the range with
08:26 that and the target we're going to hear from him.
