00:00 (speaking in foreign language)
00:03 - Instructions in the dressing room.
00:13 Instructions in the dressing room.
00:15 Respect each other, respect the fighting
00:16 and touch gloves Alejandro Velasquez,
00:19 the referee for this matchup.
00:22 10 rounds, the co-main event,
00:23 South American featherweight championship on the line
00:27 between Mirko Cuello and Antonio Guzman.
00:29 Mirko Cuello in the blue trunks
00:31 with the red and white trim.
00:34 And Antonio Guzman of Marcai, Venezuela
00:37 in the blue trunks and white trim.
00:39 So Cuello with the, I guess essentially red, white and blue
00:44 for lack of a better term or description
00:46 and Antonio Guzman in the blue and white.
00:48 George D. Metellus alongside Pauly Malignaggi here
00:52 for the co-main event of the evening
00:56 between Mirko Cuello and Antonio Guzman.
00:59 Mirko Cuello 11 and 0, 10 by knockout,
01:02 a promising fighter that Samson Lekovitz
01:05 has high hopes for.
01:06 And Antonio Guzman a pretty impressive knockout record
01:10 with 19 knockouts in his 23 victories.
01:12 But you know, the great Mike Goldberg likes numbers.
01:16 I got a couple of numbers when it comes to that
01:18 that we will talk about later on in this fight.
01:21 - I'll tell you what, Mirko Cuello though,
01:22 showing early on in this fight,
01:24 a visceris body shot by Samson Lekovitz
01:26 which rates him so high, exactly that.
01:28 - Ooh, you know what, Pauly,
01:30 I don't think Guzman is getting up here.
01:32 He took a hard shot and this is gonna be,
01:34 it's up at nine.
01:37 - It's up at nine.
01:38 - Wow.
01:39 - Give credit to Guzman for sucking it up
01:40 and getting up at nine.
01:42 But Cuello is one of those guys,
01:44 Samson Lekovitz has discovered top notch level
01:46 South American Argentines like Brian Castaño
01:50 and Sebastian Fondora.
01:51 And here Cuello, he rates them as high
01:53 as those kind of guys from Argentina.
01:55 - Wow.
01:56 The 2020.
01:57 - Maybe even better.
01:58 - Siete, ocho, nueve.
02:00 - It's the second time he's been knocked down here
02:03 in this first round.
02:05 2020 Olympian bronze medal
02:06 in the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics
02:09 that took place in Buenos Aires,
02:10 but that was at bantamweight.
02:12 And Mirko Cuello looking dominant here in this first round.
02:18 Already with two knockdowns.
02:19 Oh, and that is gonna be it.
02:25 A devastating uppercut to put down Guzman.
02:28 And 57 seconds left in the first round.
02:32 - Keep in mind Guzman, a guy who's 23 and three
02:34 with 19 knockouts as you referenced.
02:36 - Yep.
02:37 - Gee, you know, he's not a guy who's just,
02:39 would just show up and not win.
02:40 He was trying to stay in there,
02:42 but Cuello kept hurting him and hurting him and hurting him.
02:44 Again, showing exactly why Lekovitz rates Cuello so much.
02:48 It's not just that he's a winner
02:50 and he's got the resume that you mentioned.
02:51 He's got a terrific amateur resume,
02:52 but you can see the way he goes about his business.
02:55 Speed, shot selection, accuracy, fundamentals, power.
03:00 It's all there.
03:02 And a very, very explosive fighter
03:04 who has really, really got Lekovitz,
03:07 who knows a champion,
03:08 understands the difference with levels of fighters.
03:10 Lekovitz has been a guy who's been around a long time.
03:12 So when he tells you, "Watch this guy,
03:14 "this guy, rate this guy,"
03:15 you know you're gonna watch him.
03:17 Very impressive performance here from Mirko Cuello.
03:19 Mirko Cuello.
03:20 Or as they would say in Argentina, Cuello.
03:22 - Cuello, yeah.
03:23 (laughs)
03:24 - Or as I like to do sometimes with people
03:27 whose last names you can translate, Mirko Neck.
03:30 But Cuello, yeah, Neck.
03:31 So. (laughs)
03:34 That's a big victory there for Mirko Cuello.
03:38 And well, you can't hit in the neck in boxing,
03:40 but two times knocking down Guzman with body blows.
03:44 And I think that's even more impressive there.
03:48 The body blows knocking down an opponent here.
03:51 - And then the way he opened up the body.
03:53 You see he opened up the body,
03:54 then he's got Guzman watching out to the head.
03:57 And what happens when,
03:58 I mean, he's got Guzman trying to defend the body.
04:00 So what happens, the head is exposed.
04:02 He's not really thinking about the head shots.
04:04 He's been hurt to the body twice.
04:05 So you know Cuello goes, "You know what?
04:07 "Let me take you out with the head shots."
04:09 Nice uppercut, right hand combination to end the fight.
04:13 - Big victory for Mirko Cuello.
04:14 Remember I was mentioning the numbers with Guzman?
04:17 Here's a stat there.
04:19 This goes to show that I really did research this stuff here
04:22 because in the three losses that Guzman had,
04:26 the record of his opponents coming into this fight,
04:29 33 wins, three losses, one draw.
04:32 In the 23 wins that he had,
04:35 the combined record of his opponents,
04:37 35 wins, 136 losses, and seven draws.
04:42 - Well you can tell Cuello was a level
04:44 that he had not beaten yet, so no surprise.
04:46 But it wasn't just that Cuello beat him,
04:48 it's the way he beat him.
04:49 It's the way he went about his business
04:51 in such a professional, mature manner.
04:54 Really devastating.
04:56 - This turned out to really be kind of a,
04:57 more of a sparring session than an actual fight here.
05:01 And this is an impressive victory for Mirko Cuello.
05:04 And of course, sparring sessions,
05:06 a program you can see on Pro Box TV.
05:09 So there you have it.
05:10 And coming up next after the impressive victory
05:13 by Mirko Cuello, Amilcar Vidal Jr.
05:15 going up against Domicio Rondon in the main event,
05:20 that should be quite a fight between Vidal and Rondon.
05:25 What are you expecting from the Vidal Jr. Rondon fight
05:27 there, Paulie?
05:28 - Hey man, the same thing we give you every time.
05:30 - Yeah.
05:31 - Good action fight.
05:32 - Good fighters and great fights on your boxing channel,
05:35 Pro Box TV.
05:37 And before we get to that fight,
05:40 well let's take a look at the three knockdowns here
05:42 and the impressive, impressive fight here by Cuello.
05:45 Especially that third knockout.
05:46 It's the uppercut and then left hand over the top there.
05:51 That was impressive.
05:52 Oh, it was the left uppercut and then the right
05:57 that brought down, it's favoring the body
05:59 after the first knockdown on the body shots there.
06:02 What a result there.
06:03 And we'll get the official time and everything
06:07 from the ring announcer, Ruben Peralta.
06:15 And now let's see what's next for Miracle Cuello
06:20 as he, in his second defense of the South American
06:23 Featherweight Championship, wins in super impressive fashion.
06:28 So this is the third straight fight we've had
06:32 on this fight card in Uruguay.
06:35 That has not gone the distance and that has...
06:39 Impressive start.
06:40 (speaking in foreign language)
06:44 With the three, 12 and 0, 11 by knockout.
07:01 What do you see from this kid, Pauly,
07:02 that makes you think that how far he can go up there?
07:05 - He's the guy who finds all that talent in South America.
07:07 But again, all of the other things
07:08 that I've mentioned already.
07:10 (speaking in foreign language)
07:12 Very, very good prospect.
07:13 I know we've got the resume to back it up in the am.
