00:00 (crowd clapping)
00:01 - Okay guys, I'm the third man in the ring.
00:03 When I say break, take a step back,
00:05 but remember, protect yourself at all times.
00:08 Watch your low blows and your headbutts.
00:10 If there's a knockdown,
00:11 stand your opponent to the neutral corner.
00:13 That's called the farthest away.
00:14 Church clubs, obey my command.
00:16 - Four out heavyweight. - Fight number three
00:18 is underway.
00:19 - Eric Arellano, 4-0, four knockouts.
00:24 He's in the Mexican colored trunks.
00:27 Javier Frazier, 824, one with four knockouts.
00:30 He's in the white and black.
00:33 Mark Ambrose ringside here
00:34 with the two-time All-Pro Albert Hainsworth
00:37 and the 30-time Top 40 hitmaker, Mr. Ronnie McDowell.
00:42 - It's good to be here.
00:45 - It's our honor to have you.
00:46 So we have Arellano who's fought on all four
00:49 of our country box shows, has racked up wins,
00:52 taken on the Frazier guy who's fought mostly down,
00:56 150, 460 pounds.
00:58 - Oh wow, so like, I didn't know that about him.
01:02 And plus, he's from South Carolina.
01:05 Frazier's from South Carolina, so.
01:07 - He came to jail.
01:08 - Oh, we'll see.
01:12 - So you've watched probably thousands upon thousands
01:18 of fights on TV.
01:19 - I have.
01:20 - And it's the first time you've--
01:21 - First time.
01:22 - And look how close we got you.
01:24 - I love it.
01:26 - Here's a right from Arellano.
01:27 - Yeah, you can, like you see,
01:32 we've seen Arellano grow up right here
01:34 with him being from 18 to 19 and, you know,
01:39 having four knockouts.
01:41 - Arellano who's added Nettles Nassar into his corner,
01:44 a famed trainer from New Jersey,
01:48 worked with many champions.
01:50 - Yeah, I think it's gonna definitely help
01:54 his career a lot.
01:56 'Cause, you know, Arellano definitely has the skills
01:59 what it take to see him for a long time here
02:03 in the country box and also see him in HBO and Showtime.
02:08 - Ronnie, what do you see here?
02:09 If you were to break this down,
02:12 the first half of the first round, what do you see?
02:16 - Well, I see that Mr. Frazier
02:22 has not the height advantage for sure.
02:26 (laughing)
02:28 - Yeah, he does.
02:31 - Before we get real heavy into boxing,
02:36 the burning question that I, maybe Albert has for you.
02:39 - Yeah.
02:40 - What would we see in Ronnie McDowell
02:42 perform in country box?
02:43 - Well, Jimmy and I, we've been talking about that.
02:47 And Jimmy and I have been friends for a long time.
02:50 And I told him tonight, this was a very unique idea,
02:54 mixing country music and boxing.
02:57 I told him, I said, it's kind of like genius to be honest.
03:00 - Yeah, hey, it's really taken off too.
03:02 - Yeah.
03:03 - It's really taken off.
03:03 - I'm proud of it.
03:04 - Let's see.
03:07 - Arellano.
03:09 - It just sounds like you have a little itch
03:10 to maybe perform maybe here.
03:13 - Yeah, he's already invited me to do it in Memphis
03:16 and different places.
03:18 - As Frazier goes down, kind of slip.
03:22 So it looks like we will be seeing and hearing
03:27 from Mr. McDowell at some point,
03:29 somewhere down the line on one of these country box shows.
03:32 - Yeah, and I look forward to it.
03:34 - So do I.
03:35 Like I said, after reading your bio
03:39 and listening to a couple of things,
03:40 I'm a big music guy, I'm a rock and roll guy, but.
03:44 - Well, then you should, I'm on Dolly Parton's new
03:48 rock star album.
03:49 - Oh, wow.
03:49 - And it's like 40 icons.
03:52 - Oh, wow.
03:53 - I'm sandwiched in between Paul McCartney
03:56 and Judas Priest.
03:57 - Oh my God, Rob Halford, one of my favorites.
04:00 - Oh, yeah.
04:00 - One of my favorites.
04:01 - So what a blessing that is.
04:05 - That's tremendous.
04:06 - Yeah, me and Dolly, we're doing a duet that she wrote
04:10 and I'm excited about being on the album.
04:13 - Oh, yeah, I'm sure that will be--
04:15 - Steve Perry.
04:16 - Journey fame.
04:18 - Oh, yeah, and the list goes on and on.
04:20 Elton John, Ringo Starr.
04:23 - Oh, wow.
04:24 - The newly retired Elton John, who played his last concert
04:28 over the weekend in Sweden.
04:30 - Yeah.
04:30 - That's tremendous.
04:32 Who, I mean, you're doing this collab with Dolly Parton.
04:36 I would imagine there's some other iconic names
04:38 that you probably shared the stage, the microphone with.
04:41 - Well, I gave Michael Jackson his award
04:43 for his Thriller album.
04:45 - Oh, wow.
04:46 - Back in 1984, you know who introduced me?
04:49 One of my favorite singers of all time, Lionel Richie.
04:52 - Oh, wow.
04:52 - Wow.
04:53 - In fact, you can see Lionel Richie in concert next month
04:56 in Philadelphia.
04:57 - Oh, great.
04:58 - Him and the Earth, Wind and Fire are playing together.
05:01 - He's one of my favorites.
05:02 - Boy, Albert, this is music world tour.
05:07 - It really is.
05:10 - Well, again, I've been blessed.
05:12 - Yeah, you have some serious memories.
05:15 - I feel like I have the best job in America.
05:16 I'm sitting next to an NFL All-Pro
05:18 and a country music icon.
05:20 - Well, we're sitting here with you after 21 years.
05:24 - Yeah, I've been doing this for 21 years.
05:26 Has Ariadne thrown some combinations to the head?
05:29 - Yeah, he's been working really nice here.
05:33 I think this is his first time going to the second round
05:39 in his career.
05:40 - Yes.
05:42 Yeah, I was told by some people in the know,
05:46 good left hand that drives Frazier back,
05:48 that Frazier's gonna give Ariadne some rounds.
05:51 Don't look at the height, the weight disparity.
05:54 And Frazier is an adorable guy.
05:58 Stopped eight times in his 24 losses.
06:01 Fought guys like Tyler Howard, David Estrada,
06:03 Money Pal, the fourth, Joseph Jackson,
06:05 Derek Coleman, Mark DeLuca.
06:07 So, you know, he's fought some solid guys,
06:09 all lower weights though.
06:11 We're halfway through round two.
06:15 - He's a hard puncher though.
06:16 - One thing that we learned about him
06:22 when we were on our first fights here with Eric Arellano,
06:27 you know, he trained in the Canelo camp for two years.
06:31 He got stuck down there in Mexico for COVID.
06:35 So, he couldn't come back.
06:36 - Two and a half years he was down there in Mexico.
06:39 Imagine that at like 14 and 15.
06:43 - Oh, good right hand from Arellano.
06:45 Arellano, I know he talked to Albert yesterday,
06:49 he said maybe two more fights
06:52 and we can see him maybe down a cruiserweight.
06:54 Obviously, you know, he's working on his physique.
06:59 He's down about 10 pounds from his last fight
07:01 as he pumps the jab on Javier Frazier.
07:06 - Good right hand and another right to the body.
07:10 Combination of the head.
07:11 Here comes Eric Arellano driving Frazier back.
07:14 Frazier looks at him and comes back with a left hook.
07:18 Arellano now imposing his will on Javier Frazier.
07:20 - He's a tough kid.
07:26 He has a lot of skill.
07:27 Like I said, I'm excited just to be here, be a part of it.
07:31 (crowd cheering)
07:34 - I tell you what, Frazier has a jaw.
07:39 - Oh, he does.
07:40 - End of round two scheduled for four.
07:42 Mark Abrams here ringside with Albert Hainsworth
07:48 and Ronnie McDowell.
07:49 Been nice up to grace us during this fight.
07:53 I have a question for you.
07:54 I've always thought about as we take a look
07:56 at some of the action of round two,
07:59 as Eric Arellano really starting to up his punch volume
08:04 and land some solid shots,
08:05 I would say the biggest, for lack of a better term, high,
08:10 would have 30,000 or how many people you played in,
08:13 you probably played in front, 50, 60,000 people,
08:16 singing lyrics that you were probably sitting at home
08:18 one night writing on a piece of paper,
08:20 and then 60,000 people are screaming those words
08:23 right back at you.
08:24 That must be a pretty awesome feeling.
08:26 - Well, what is amazing, like a song that I wrote
08:28 called "Watching Girls Go By."
08:30 And when I sing it, it's so cool to look out
08:33 and see everybody singing along with it.
08:36 - Well, it's incredible.
08:36 - Well, you were saying that I was watching her go by.
08:39 - Oh yeah, well, there you go.
08:40 (laughing)
08:42 Hey, I can't blame you.
08:43 - But yeah, I've always, you know,
08:46 like you said, I'm a big music guy.
08:48 Family in the music business from years ago.
08:53 I always thought about, that must be the coolest thing.
08:56 You're sitting there, you're writing a song,
08:58 and you know, the song's been sitting there
09:00 in probably a spiral notebook for a couple months.
09:04 - Sometimes on a napkin in a restaurant.
09:06 - And then a few months later, 60,000 people
09:09 are saying those words, screaming those words to you.
09:13 - Yeah, it's cool.
09:14 See, that's a huge feeling.
09:15 That's gotta be an amazing feeling.
09:17 And I'm doing what I wanted to do since I was three.
09:20 - Oh wow.
09:21 Good combination from Ariana.
09:25 So I guess the old adage, you probably said yourself,
09:27 you never worked a day in your life, have you?
09:29 - Well.
09:30 - Maybe not had a job a day in your life.
09:33 - Well, I'm doing what I learned to do, and still.
09:36 - That's why there's not a job when you love to do it.
09:40 - Exactly.
09:41 - Double jab from Ariana.
09:47 It's funny, Ariana, this, even though he did get
09:51 the first round knockout here,
09:53 and this is the most we've seen,
09:55 we've seen some different elements, Albert,
09:57 as we've seen for the first four times here.
10:00 - Yeah, I knew he had a different array of stuff,
10:04 because he fought some totally different opponents.
10:08 I mean, he got--
10:08 - I bet you're being nice.
10:10 - So it's good to him to see a good veteran fighter.
10:16 - Grizzled veteran guy.
10:17 - Yeah, he is.
10:18 - I don't know, Ronnie, I don't know if he saw
10:21 his first four points, but he's fought some guys
10:23 that they would have been knocked out three rounds,
10:28 the first round with some of the shots he's in.
10:31 Frazier's taking them, and he keeps on coming,
10:33 which is a great experience for the 19-year-old Ariana.
10:36 - Yeah, he's not backing down.
10:38 - Yeah, he's still coming at him, so that's,
10:41 that's awesome, it's awesome for him,
10:44 it's really challenging him.
10:46 - Good hard right.
10:47 I guess, Albert, you can equate it,
10:51 you're playing on a team, they're beating everyone
10:53 56-nothing, you need a nail-biter
10:57 for what's gonna help you later in the season,
10:59 I would imagine.
11:00 - Well, absolutely, you know, it gets you like,
11:02 well, you're not gonna knock that team out
11:04 in the first half, or you're gonna go
11:07 and come all the way to the end.
11:08 - Both guys landed good right hands.
11:12 - Or.
11:13 - It's the first time Ariana's really been
11:17 hitting five fights.
11:19 - Yeah, with--
11:22 - Just getting some good licks.
11:23 - Yeah.
11:25 - A little bit of a low blow.
11:27 Ariana's gonna walk it off.
11:30 - He's doing really good to be 31.
11:34 - Oh, Ariana, Ariana's 19.
11:37 - Yeah.
11:38 - Yeah, yeah, like so.
11:40 - And I mean, Frazier does well to be 31.
11:44 - No, I mean, he looks good, he has some,
11:45 he has some combination and stuff like that,
11:47 and he's taking, he's taking some really good shots.
11:50 - Sitting so close to the action, Ronnie,
11:53 I guess you probably noticed it's a little bit safer
11:56 out here.
11:57 - Yeah.
11:58 - Good right, and here comes Frazier back
12:05 with some left hooks, left to the body.
12:07 Here comes Ariana back.
12:09 Good give and take here in round three,
12:11 right over the top of Frazier.
12:13 End of round three.
12:14 - Wow, that was a great round three.
12:16 - It was.
12:17 - It's a great round three, and can't wait
12:19 to see some of this action right here.
12:21 - See some of the action.
12:28 What do you see here, Ronnie?
12:29 Break it down for us.
12:31 - Well, I'm seeing that Frazier is taking a lot of shots,
12:36 and he keeps coming off.
12:39 Look at that.
12:40 And to be 31, I think he's doing unbelievable.
12:44 - Yeah, I guess a much younger opponent, 12 years.
12:48 - Yeah, yeah.
12:49 But like, that was good defense though.
12:52 He caught Ariana with a nice overhand right.
12:56 - Boy, he sure did.
12:57 - I'm just trying to bring the versatility out,
13:00 versatility out, Ronnie, country legend and boxing analyst.
13:04 - Well, you know, like I say, I've been watching boxing
13:07 since Muhammad Ali back in,
13:10 I'm a three-term combat veteran of the Vietnam War,
13:14 and when I was in Vietnam in '70,
13:17 I used to listen to Muhammad Ali, that was my thing,
13:20 listening to boxing.
13:21 - Those were the days.
13:23 - Oh yeah, '70, '71.
13:26 - On the radio, and if you're home,
13:29 the pipes are on, you can take your little transistor radio
13:32 and listen to it.
13:33 We come out round four, Ariana and Frazier.
13:38 Looks like another low blow.
13:41 Frazier.
13:42 Frazier's been trying to pound away at that body,
13:46 come over the top of the head.
13:49 Good right again for Frazier, and a left hook.
13:51 Good for D'Ariano.
13:55 Go right to the jaw.
14:01 Frazier just walked right through it, another right hand.
14:04 - You know, one thing I really enjoy seeing with D'Ariano,
14:08 D'Ariano with those body shots,
14:09 he's kind of rolling with those body shots.
14:11 He's actually protecting them,
14:12 and kind of like turning his body
14:14 to take some of the pressure off,
14:15 because you would think he's like south of the middle,
14:18 so you want to definitely attack the body,
14:21 but he's rolling with it.
14:21 - That's what Frazier's doing.
14:23 - Yep, and that's where all the low blows
14:26 are kind of coming in, 'cause he is shorter.
14:28 - Right.
14:29 - I think this might be the first time in a country box
14:31 that we got dashed by a sweat.
14:34 I don't know if you guys felt it,
14:35 it felt like it was raining.
14:37 - I didn't get it, but the longer we do this, Albert.
14:41 - It's gonna be normal.
14:43 - Well, it's gonna be normal, and don't be surprised
14:46 if a little of the red stuff gets on you.
14:49 - I gotta start wearing my dark shirts, too.
14:51 - Exactly.
14:52 I always say, certain fights that I broadcast,
14:55 as Frazier and D'Ariano are still going at it,
14:58 this is a don't wear white kind of fight.
15:01 D'Ariano trying to back Frazier now on the ropes.
15:06 Frazier trying to fight off.
15:07 Javier Frazier and Eric D'Ariano.
15:13 Frazier gets some work done.
15:15 D'Ariano lands a good right hand.
15:18 - You can tell D'Ariano's tired.
15:19 It's the first time in four rounds.
15:21 - Good body shot from Frazier.
15:23 And again.
15:24 Javier Frazier putting up a terrific effort here.
15:33 - Oh, he is.
15:33 - Against the undefeated Eric D'Ariano.
15:35 - He's challenging him.
15:38 (crowd shouting)
15:40 - Good uppercut again from Frazier.
15:45 D'Ariano pushes Frazier into the ropes.
15:49 We've come down to the last 30 seconds of our fight.
15:52 Left hook from D'Ariano.
15:54 Good hard right.
15:55 Ooh.
15:56 - Good uppercut.
15:58 It's good right here.
16:02 This is challenging D'Ariano.
16:04 - It is.
16:05 - Which is great.
16:06 He needed this.
16:07 - Yeah, he's needed this in his young career.
16:09 - He's tired.
16:10 - This is a terrific workout.
16:14 Fight for Eric D'Ariano as he tries to drive Frazier back.
16:19 End of the fourth and final round
16:25 of a very entertaining fight
16:27 between Eric D'Ariano and Javier Frazier.
16:30 We have an entertaining guy sitting to our left.
16:32 So I think maybe I,
16:34 I think you're great. - I enjoy it.
16:35 - I think your greatness may have osmosis into the ring.
16:39 - I enjoyed this fight.
16:40 - As to the fans here at the Tribune,
16:44 I'm sure all the fans watching around the world,
16:46 on Fight TV, CountryBox247.com, and iTunes247.com.
16:51 - Yeah, this was a perfect fight for D'Ariano.
16:55 Wasn't somebody who went down in the first round
16:58 or the second round,
16:59 and a guy that really challenged him all the way in the fourth.
17:02 Now he fought back and he'll be better off,
17:05 you know, down the line because of this fight.
17:08 - Oh, absolutely.
17:09 And his opponent's still smiling,
17:12 even though like D'Ariano's catching him with some nice,
17:16 you know, some nice hooks and stuff like that.
17:18 And again, he's still beating his chest out.
17:21 He almost got knocked out.
17:22 - Before we let Ronnie enjoy the rest of the night,
17:24 what can we expect the Dolly Parton duet?
17:27 - It comes out in November.
17:28 It's pre-order now.
17:29 And Dolly, she has 40 iconic rock stars.
17:34 She was just voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
17:39 - Oh, wow.
17:40 - And her manager called me.
17:42 I was in Florida.
17:43 He goes, "Ronnie, you're on Dolly's new rock star album."
17:47 And I'm like, "I'm a country dude."
17:50 But she and I did that duet a few years ago.
17:54 - Oh, wow.
17:54 - And when I left the studio, I'm also a painter.
17:57 - Okay.
17:58 - And she said, "You know, I always wanted Elvis to sing
18:01 "I Will Always Love You," but he passed away.
18:04 He didn't get a chance to do it.
18:06 And so when I left the studio, I painted Dolly singing it
18:11 to Elvis on the picnic.
18:13 - Oh, wow.
18:14 - And gave it to him.
18:15 - Wow.
18:16 Well, Ronnie, we thank you for sitting in
18:19 for this fight with us.
18:20 It was an honor to have you here.
18:22 - Thank you, Mark.
18:23 - And like I said, we look forward to November,
18:25 the duet with Dolly Parton.
18:27 Hopefully we can coach you up on that stage
18:30 for Country Box.
18:31 - Hey, buddy, I'm looking forward to it.
18:32 Jimmy and I, we started streaming TV 15 years ago.
18:36 And it's good to be here and see my first live boxing match
18:40 here at the Country Music Box.
18:42 - Well, let's throw up the ring announcer, JT Conway.
18:46 - All right, folks.
18:47 Hey, I know both of these guys want a lot of fans tonight.
18:51 Put your hands together.
18:51 That was an incredible war.
18:54 Goodness gracious, Country Box delivers yet again.
18:58 We have a decision.
18:59 Jacob Nevin has this fight 39-37.
19:05 Terry Hogan has the fight 40-37.
19:08 And David Hudson scored this fight 40-36.
19:11 A unanimous decision win
19:14 for Nashville's own Eric "El Dorito" Eliotto.
19:20 (audience cheering)
19:24 (audience applauding)
19:26 So there you have it.
19:27 Eric Eliotto goes with 5-0.
19:29 - We've been doing this now four times.
19:30 This is time five and it gets better and better each time.
19:33 This is so much fun.
19:35 Hey, real quick, before we throw to the music,
19:37 guys, the unsung hero and the reason that the guy with the.
