00:00 - The story behind this fight is that last time
00:02 Derrick Cuevas was here in Panama,
00:04 he fought-- he defeated his opponent
00:07 with a vicious second--
00:09 right-hand second-round knockout.
00:11 - Correct. - And Mosqueda came out
00:13 out of the corner challenging Derrick Cuevas.
00:17 - Oh, he jumped in the ring. - He jumped in the ring
00:19 and said, "I want him next." - Oh, wow, I didn't know that.
00:20 I didn't know that. - Yeah.
00:22 - Here we go. - And Cuevas accepted,
00:23 so we got them both tonight.
00:26 - I know Mosqueda. Mosqueda's a tough guy.
00:28 He's a hard task, you know, for any fighter.
00:31 He's beaten a lot of good fighters before.
00:33 - Absolutely, so there's a lot going on
00:37 in between for this fight.
00:40 We hope it's a clean fight, and we get to see
00:43 experience versus youth,
00:46 power versus power.
00:49 Live from the Coliseo de Combates...
00:53 - Wait, does Cuevas have a mouthpiece?
00:55 - No.
00:57 - Cuevas, he doesn't have one.
00:59 - He doesn't seem to have one.
01:01 - I mean, unless it's super clear
01:03 and it's a very good one, I don't know.
01:06 That's the first thing I noticed,
01:07 'cause he's smiling, but let's see.
01:10 [crowd shouting]
01:13 - Wow. - Wow.
01:16 [crowd shouting]
01:19 [crowd shouting]
01:22 [crowd shouting]
01:25 [crowd shouting]
01:28 - There's Mosqueda leading the action there
01:30 with the right hand,
01:31 bringing the fight close to Cuevas.
01:35 [crowd shouting]
01:38 I don't think they've noticed that there's some,
01:40 you know, mouth protection. - We might be wrong.
01:42 I don't know if it might be clear.
01:44 [crowd shouting]
01:47 [crowd shouting]
01:50 - The referee jumped in.
01:52 You know, the fight was getting rough,
01:55 especially for Mosqueda,
01:56 who's, you know, trying to rough up Cuevas
01:59 early in the round, early in the fight.
02:03 [crowd shouting]
02:06 That was an attempt of a left hand from Cuevas.
02:11 Got a little bit tangled.
02:12 We have an orthodox and a southpaw again tonight.
02:16 [crowd shouting]
02:19 - Yes, there is animosity between these two fighters
02:23 from what happened last time when Cuevas was here.
02:26 [crowd shouting]
02:29 [crowd shouting]
02:33 Well, the round has been, like,
02:37 very tangled with the fighters.
02:41 Cuevas doesn't want to engage,
02:42 and Mosqueda's being, you know, very rough.
02:45 - As he should. I think that's what--
02:46 I think that's what's gonna make him stay in this fight.
02:50 Use his experience, use all the tricks
02:52 he has under his sleeve, you know, to--
02:54 [crowd shouting]
02:57 [crowd shouting]
03:00 - It's a different Cuevas. I'll tell you what.
03:02 I was here with Robin Duran calling the shots last time,
03:08 and Cuevas was much more active.
03:10 He was, you know, moving. He was throwing punches.
03:13 But tonight, I see a different Cuevas.
03:17 - It's only round one, so he might just be
03:20 feeding him out as well, feeding his punches.
03:23 - I think it's gonna-- you know, didn't warm up enough.
03:26 - Right. - And there's a blow,
03:28 a low blow there from Cuevas.
03:31 [crowd shouting]
03:34 [crowd shouting]
03:37 [crowd shouting]
03:40 [crowd shouting]
03:43 [bell dings]
03:44 [crowd shouting]
03:48 - Well, the first round is gone.
03:51 - That was interesting. That was interesting.
03:52 I can tell Mosquera is a very experienced fighter
03:56 with a lot of, like, dirty tricks under his sleeve.
03:59 [crowd shouting]
04:02 Cuevas.
04:04 I think he was just feeding him out.
04:07 - Yeah, I'm trying to see what he has.
04:10 - Yeah, the referee is now making sure
04:12 that Cuevas is gonna wear that mouth protection.
04:16 - [laughs] - You know?
04:18 But again, the animosity of the fighters
04:22 comes from the last time Cuevas was here.
04:26 Mosquera jumped in the ring and directly went
04:31 kind of in the face of Cuevas,
04:33 challenging him for this fight.
04:35 [crowd shouting]
04:38 [crowd shouting]
04:40 Okay, making sure that both fighters
04:43 got protection in their mouth.
04:45 Mosquera doing a lot of trash-talking,
04:48 and now we see Cuevas.
04:49 This is the Cuevas I saw last time, you know,
04:52 bobbing his head, moving very active.
04:55 The feet, always moving his feet, you know?
04:58 [crowd shouting]
05:02 Tell you what, Mosquera is very, very vicious,
05:07 very aggressive.
05:08 - Nice body shot right-- Cuevas right there,
05:10 sneaky right hand to the body.
05:13 - Yeah, and again, he's leading by--
05:15 - Yeah, Mosquera's, like, really getting
05:16 that right foot outside of his--
05:18 of Cuevas' left foot.
05:20 - Yeah, it's a rough-- - Just to close the distance.
05:21 - Yeah, it's a rough, tough match so far.
05:24 You know, it's all about roughing your opponent out.
05:27 You know, Mosquera is making Cuevas feel
05:31 that you are in my country, you know?
05:34 You are in my domain, so I'm gonna do--
05:36 - Oh! - Oh!
05:39 Well, there goes Mosquera,
05:44 caught by Cuevas.
05:45 Exactly what happened in the prev--
05:47 in the last fight from Cuevas.
05:49 Second round, vicious left hand to his opponent,
05:53 and down goes Mosquera again.
05:56 Mosquera's-- - He's got to take some time
05:58 and get up.
05:59 - Yeah.
06:01 - Cuevas is confident right now.
06:04 - It's still early in the round.
06:05 He's still got 100. - Yeah, there's a lot of time.
06:07 There's a minute and 30 seconds left.
06:08 - Oh, a right hand to the-- to the head of Mosquera.
06:10 - There's a lot of time. Mosquera has to tie up.
06:12 He has to do what he was doing at the beginning
06:13 of the round there, tie up.
06:15 - Yeah, his left foot is not moving very well.
06:17 He's still, again, shaking up.
06:20 - He's on shaky legs.
06:21 He's on shaky legs for sure.
06:22 - Yep, yep.
06:24 [crowd shouting]
06:27 - Cuevas is in complete control of the fight.
06:30 - There's still a lot of time.
06:31 Cuevas should relax, land some--
06:34 play some shots and keep doing what he was doing.
06:38 - I know, but Mosquera is--
06:41 he's at his corner, and that is okay.
06:43 - Yeah, he's good.
06:44 He doesn't have to let him recover, though,
06:45 for sure, 'cause-- - Yeah.
06:47 I agree with you, because Mosquera can really--
06:50 - Yeah, he can come back and make it a tough fight.
06:51 - Come back.
06:53 Give him a tough fight towards the end.
06:56 We got 40 seconds to go in this round.
06:58 Mosquera has been down twice.
07:02 Mosquera fighting Salfa Cuevas,
07:06 the orthodox big hand from Cuevas on Mosquera's body.
07:12 [crowd shouting]
07:15 - Mosquera still roughing up. - Still not down this way,
07:18 yeah.
07:19 He's down.
07:21 - Surviving the round.
07:23 Cuevas taking it easy now.
07:25 Mosquera's punches are not thrown
07:28 with no kind of power anymore in this round.
07:32 - He's still not recovered.
07:35 - Two big punches there.
07:37 Cuevas is laughing at him.
07:39 [crowd shouting]
07:41 Now the crowd is into it.
07:43 Here for Mosquera.
07:46 - He's still-- he's still walking his legs.
07:48 - Yeah.
07:49 - Mosquera's still walking his legs.
07:51 He's not going to get up.
07:53 He doesn't need to use all that unnecessary energy
07:57 clapping around.
07:58 That's unexperienced.
07:59 But Cuevas keeps connected on those big knockdowns.
08:04 I just feel like he shouldn't-- he shouldn't have showboaten.
08:06 He should have tried to get him out of there.
08:07 Because Mosquera recovers, he can be a dangerous fighter.
08:12 - I think Cuevas just want to punish Mosquera
08:17 for what he did last night.
08:20 On Mosquera's side, he's got enough experience
08:23 to walk the ring, you know?
08:25 - Right.
08:26 - Move away from Cuevas.
08:27 But on those shaky legs that he's got,
08:34 it's kind of difficult.
08:35 Here are the high knights.
08:37 That's the right hand that sent Mosquera to the ground,
08:42 to the canvas.
08:46 We go to the third round.
08:47 [crowd shouting]
08:49 - Mosquera has a lot of support right here.
08:52 He's fighting for his people right here, yeah.
08:54 - Oh, yeah.
08:55 - The way he got up,
08:56 he's going to continue coming here.
08:58 Cuevas has got to stay smart and relaxed here.
09:00 - Left foot looks much better.
09:03 And Mosquera is asking for the fight.
09:05 It's challenging Cuevas to come and exchange punches.
09:10 Cuevas taking his cool, just letting Mosquera rough up.
09:17 Referee's got his hands full with Mosquera here.
09:22 Missing Mosquera with the long left.
09:25 [crowd shouting]
09:30 Right hand by Cuevas to the body.
09:35 Combination there, short combination,
09:37 touching and touching him.
09:39 Mosquera still fighting in.
09:43 Looks a little bit wobbly after that combination.
09:46 Mosquera.
09:48 Again, his legs are shaky.
09:51 - He's pressing the action, though.
09:52 I think Cuevas is just being patient,
09:53 which is not-- which is a good idea.
09:56 He's going to let Mosquera open himself up.
09:59 But also, he can't let Mosquera get his confidence back
10:02 and get the momentum back.
10:03 - And get the crowd into it.
10:04 - And get the crowd behind him, yeah.
10:06 He's got to remember where he's at.
10:07 He's in Panama.
10:08 This is Mosquera's hometown.
10:11 - Mosquera trying to bring the fight.
10:15 Left hand to the body.
10:17 Cuevas.
10:18 - It seems like Cuevas is very relaxed.
10:20 He's just waiting.
10:21 He's caught-- Mosquera's caught on the top of his left eye.
10:23 - Yeah, he's playing with it.
10:24 He's laughing at him.
10:26 - He's just having fun with it.
10:27 - Yeah, got caught there with a left hand,
10:30 but not much power from Mosquera.
10:37 Again, that left hand that touches Cuevas' chin,
10:41 but not much power.
10:42 - Cueva, Cueva, Cueva, Cueva.
10:47 - Mosquera's right eye is starting to--
10:50 right eye is starting to swell a little.
10:52 - Cueva, Cueva, Cueva, Cueva.
10:55 - Good shot there from Mosquera.
10:59 - Cuevas can't take it easy.
11:02 He can't let him get that momentum.
11:03 He's going to let the crowd get into it.
11:05 He's going to let Mosquera get the confidence.
11:07 He's got to do something to--
11:09 like he did on the previous round.
11:11 He can't keep playing with him.
11:12 He's got to-- don't play with your food.
11:14 Like, once you have food in front of you,
11:16 take it, eat it.
11:17 - There is a--
11:19 - He's giving him the confidence, yeah.
11:22 - Mosquera just landed a big left hand on Cuevas' face.
11:28 But there is a-- there is a big cut
11:35 on Mosquera's right eyebrow.
11:41 - 10 seconds to go in this round.
11:45 I'm going to say--
11:46 I'm going to say this was a Mosquera round.
11:48 - Yeah, 1,000%.
11:49 Mosquera round this round.
11:50 - And mainly because--
11:51 - I don't know what happened to Cuevas.
11:53 He just let him off the hook.
11:55 I don't think he should have done that.
11:56 - Yeah, I know. I know.
11:58 It's--it just took kind of like a break in this third round.
12:03 Let's see the highlights.
12:05 - Guaranteed.
12:09 - There's a big cut.
12:10 - Guaranteed.
12:11 - There you go.
12:12 We got body shot from Cuevas.
12:17 Mosquera got a left hand there from Cuevas
12:22 in the early part of the round.
12:25 Then Mosquera got busy landing some body shots.
12:29 And let's see if we can see--
12:32 there you go.
12:33 That's the left hand that got Cuevas into action,
12:36 like, "Hey, you know what?
12:37 This guy means business, so I better get going."
12:40 - Stop playing around.
12:41 - Exactly.
12:42 - You're in a fight.
12:45 - We go to round number four.
12:49 A match at a catch weight of 149 pounds.
12:53 Derek Cuevas wearing the white trunks with red.
12:59 Mosquera wearing white and yellow.
13:06 It's been a rough tough fight so far.
13:08 Mosquera likes to fight in the inside.
13:10 - Nice left hand to the body from Mosquera.
13:18 Not a left hand from Mosquera.
13:20 - He's doing good work downstairs, yeah.
13:23 Cuevas got to start holding his ground a little bit more
13:25 like he did in the--
13:28 - Left hand from Mosquera to the face.
13:30 Clean shot, the cleanest shot from Mosquera so far,
13:34 that left hand to the face of Cuevas.
13:38 Again, the left hand from Mosquera,
13:40 but, you know, Cuevas is laughing
13:42 at Mosquera's shots,
13:45 meaning that, you know, he's not hurt by those shots,
13:48 but if you count them and he keeps punching them,
13:54 at some time, he's going to feel the power from Mosquera.
14:02 The referee calls for time.
14:05 They're going to check on the cut.
14:07 Tell you what, that cut occurred in the second round.
14:10 It was a left hand.
14:12 It was a left hand from Cuevas.
14:18 Doctor is examining the cut.
14:22 I don't think it's going to continue.
14:24 Well, he gives the okay, and we have fights.
14:30 We still have about 1 minute, 10 seconds to go
14:36 in the fourth round.
14:38 This actually benefits Mosquera.
14:40 You know, he got kind of a breather.
14:43 Right, but he had the momentum before they broke it up.
14:47 Yeah.
14:48 He still keeps coming back.
14:53 Mosquera is applying a trick on Cuevas,
14:56 and Cuevas is falling right into it,
14:58 and that is Mosquera is using Cuevas' weight
15:05 to move across,
15:07 something that Roberto Duran used to do a lot,
15:10 to move around Cuevas.
15:12 That monetary shot that he plays the shot right there.
15:14 Exactly.
15:17 Mosquera's experienced.
15:18 He's fought a lot of good fighters.
15:20 He knows how he's doing it there.
15:23 Yeah, but he's bleeding a lot from that right--
15:25 Oh, right in front of Mosquera.
15:34 I honestly don't understand what's Cuevas' strategy.
15:38 I know Cuevas is trying to get him.
15:39 He thinks he's just going to slow down.
15:42 He's going to make him time himself out.
15:44 I'm sure Mosquera trained hard for this fight,
15:46 so I wouldn't rely on that.
15:49 Again, the referee calls for time.
15:51 There's lots of blood coming out of that cut.
15:53 Let him fight. He's doing good.
15:55 Let him fight. They should not stop the fight.
15:57 I hope they don't.
15:59 He's doing a great job of-- He's winning this round.
16:01 Mosquera's winning this round.
16:03 He's going to get him.
16:04 No way.
16:06 No way. Let him fight.
16:08 Well...
16:15 that is...
16:17 going to be it for this fight
16:21 because of that terrible left--
16:25 right eye-- right eyebrow cut.
16:28 It's kind of like four inches.
16:31 I'm sorry. I got a bad call by the doctor.
16:35 I'm sorry. You let a fighter fight.
16:38 He was winning the round.
16:39 He won the previous round, and he was winning this round.
16:43 But he's trying to preserve the, you know,
16:47 the capacity of the boxer for other fights.
16:51 Maybe he could have gotten a--
16:53 Yeah, but this is a close--
16:54 It was a close fight the last two rounds, you know?
16:57 And he was going to go back to the corner.
16:59 He had the cut in there.
17:01 He was going to go back to the corner.
17:02 He was going to go back to the corner.
17:03 He was going to go back to the corner.
17:05 He was going to go back to the corner.
17:06 He was going to go back to the corner.
17:07 He was going to go back to the corner.
17:08 He was going to go back to the corner.
17:10 He was going to go back to the corner.
17:11 He was going to go back to the corner.
17:12 He was going to go back to the corner.
17:13 He was going to go back to the corner.
17:14 He was going to go back to the corner.
17:15 He was going to go back to the corner.
17:16 He was going to go back to the corner.
17:17 He was going to go back to the corner.
17:18 He was going to go back to the corner.
17:19 He was going to go back to the corner.
17:20 He was going to go back to the corner.
17:21 [speaking spanish]
17:50 [speaking spanish]
17:52 [speaking spanish]
17:53 Tell you what.
17:54 Um, I--
17:57 I understand your point of view as a fighter.
18:00 You know, you got that--
18:01 your-- your heated blood.
18:03 You want to see action.
18:05 But I think the doctor was looking at the long run.
18:08 - Long run.
