00:00 a good clean fight. No punches behind the head, but good out of the guard.
00:02 And if you break or stop, you must do that. You understand?
00:05 Protect yourself at all times. Touch gloves, then get them on.
00:08 And there's a bit of feeling here, as you can hear, between Clark and Awani.
00:18 And that height advantage for Awani is significant.
00:23 Okay, mate.
00:25 But those who know Clark well say that will not matter. It is Clark in the blue, Awani in the black.
00:36 And we're looking forward to this one. Michael, you're one of those who's done plenty of training
00:44 with Kane Clark. Tell us about him.
00:46 Yeah, I've had the pleasure of training alongside him. He's one tough unit.
00:49 He just keeps walking forward and he doesn't take anything easy.
00:53 You know, I was excited for this fight because this is fireworks.
00:56 You know, they both want to come out here and hurt each other.
00:58 And I know it just seems like there's bad blood, but I mean, like I said, Kane's just tough.
01:02 And, you know, he won't back down from any fight.
01:04 And I've seen Hunter fight previously as well, and he's the same.
01:08 So this is a perfect matchup.
01:09 And Barry, we've seen plenty of versions of Hunter, Awani at his best.
01:13 Yep.
01:14 He's right in this.
01:15 He's a great puncher. He's got extreme power.
01:18 But he sort of lost the way a little bit.
01:21 He looks in better shape tonight.
01:23 He's much more side on, which is good to see.
01:25 But he has got huge power in that right hand.
01:27 He does. We've seen that plenty of times before, particularly early in a fight.
01:32 Yep.
01:34 And he throws with power.
01:35 How Jacob Ng got through that first round, Ben?
01:39 What a fight that was.
01:41 The fight of the year.
01:42 A couple of years ago between Jacob Ng and Hunter Awani.
01:45 The ring walks alone were fight of the year worthy.
01:49 But it was a brilliant fight.
01:51 It was.
01:52 Both throw big shots but miss.
01:57 Halfway through this opening round.
01:59 So these two guys would have sparred quite a bit, Michael, yeah?
02:08 Yeah, well, I'm pretty sure they used to train alongside each other.
02:12 I thought they did.
02:12 Yeah, they've obviously moved gyms now.
02:14 And now it's a perfect fight to be made.
02:18 Yeah, they know each other very well.
02:20 At this point, they don't particularly like each other.
02:23 But it sets the scene for a good fight.
02:27 And it's starting to warm up now as we enter the third minute of the opening rounds.
02:34 Wild shot from Awani and Clark picked him off.
02:41 Yeah.
02:43 Kane Clark, you know, seeing the big punches coming and moving and landing.
02:48 Probably the more shots in this opening stanza, I reckon.
02:51 In the southpaw stance now, Kane Clark.
02:56 Very light on his feet is Clark and moves towards Awani now.
03:05 He's just watching.
03:08 Yeah, Hunter's looking for that opportunity to throw that bomb of a right hand.
03:11 But Clark's very quick.
03:12 He's in, he's out.
03:13 You know, 13 fights, 13 wins.
03:16 Not too bad.
03:17 Nine knockout losses.
03:18 Great record.
03:22 Here comes Clark now and gets through with a couple of shots.
03:26 But not too much on those.
03:30 And a reminder, after the fight tonight, Tim Tzu, the soul taker.
03:35 Tim Tzu has another massive victory.
03:42 The old boy versus the young boy, but I'm the matador on this one.
03:45 He's a young boy, I'm the matador, you see.
03:47 How much Tim Tzu, whatever his name is.
03:52 Friday beat Tim Tzu, Saturday celebrate.
03:55 People don't realize when you fight someone like me,
03:59 it could look different on the outside.
04:00 But when you're actually in the inside with me, it's hell.
04:03 It's hell, man.
04:04 It's not fun.
04:05 How much they got?
04:06 How much money they got?
04:08 My opponents know.
04:11 And 21 have said something and 21 have failed.
04:14 So that's coming up after the fights tonight, directly after that program.
04:21 You can see the face-off between Tim Tzu and Tony Harrison.
04:25 And that was highly entertaining.
04:27 So a big night of boxing here on Fox Sports.
04:32 The main event tonight, Brock Jarvis, Marlon Paniamogan.
04:39 And right now, these two trying to sort each other out.
04:44 Round number two of six.
04:45 Punch away, boys.
04:46 Hang on.
04:46 When I say break, don't drop punches.
04:49 Come on.
04:49 Kane Clark, just a little quick at the moment, confusing Hunter.
04:53 Hunter's trying to land his big shot, but he's not being successful at the moment.
04:57 You know, Kane Clark, in the look of it, he's got a lot of power.
05:06 You know, Kane Clark, in the look of Southpaw's stance now.
05:09 When he does want to come forward, he is fast, is Clark.
05:15 He has all that combat sports experience.
05:19 I mentioned his success in karate and kickboxing, under-fitted in boxing as well.
05:24 So he knows what he's doing out there.
05:27 And he counters well as Hunter comes towards.
05:29 And then Clark leads and turns back to orthodox and jabs to the body and he's away.
05:35 He's countering as well.
05:38 He's Clark.
05:40 And jabbing and leading and moving.
05:45 Good stuff from Kane Clark.
05:46 Very good stuff.
05:47 He's hitting and not getting hit.
05:49 You know, Hunter's got to work him out.
05:52 If he's going to have any chance, he needs to land some good punches.
06:03 Kane would be an awkward guy to fight.
06:05 You know, changes moves continually.
06:07 Southpaw orthodox.
06:08 He's in, he's out.
06:10 He'd be tough to fight.
06:11 Yeah, feints a lot as well.
06:13 And he's moving really fast when he comes towards.
06:16 And then he moves well and down goes Hunter Awani.
06:20 What a rip and left hook.
06:22 The counter shot was a big one and it hurt Awani.
06:25 He tried to get up straight away, but you could tell it rocked him.
06:30 And we're inside the final minute of round number two and Clark comes forward now.
06:35 Let's see what he does with a wounded Hunter Awani.
06:41 Brilliant stuff from Kane Clark.
06:43 Just brought him onto a big shot and sent him down hard.
06:47 Beautiful left hook.
06:48 Leaps out with it again, but misses on that occasion.
06:56 Now let's see what Clark has.
07:00 Goes down himself, but it's called just to slip.
07:05 They didn't tangle there.
07:06 Awani was throwing a shot, but we'll have a look back at that between rounds.
07:13 But Clark comes forward again with that left hand.
07:16 Awani misses with that wild shot to the body and Clark misses over the top with his left
07:21 hand and goes back to the orthodox position.
07:26 Clark would be extremely difficult to fight.
07:28 Well Hunter Awani's finding that out right now.
07:31 Is he ever.
07:31 The counter shot as Awani throws himself towards Clark is what's finding him in trouble
07:38 and they do punch after the belt for a moment.
07:40 So a knockdown scored for Kane Clark in round two.
07:48 And this is exactly what happened.
07:54 A really nice shot with that left hand.
07:56 Short left hook.
07:58 Beautiful short left hook.
07:59 Look at that.
08:00 And he was hurt.
08:01 He wobbled.
08:02 Look at that.
08:02 And this is the moment that came after it.
08:07 Now there's that knockdown again.
08:12 And that was the moment that Clark did try to jab to the body.
08:21 He found himself on the canvas.
08:22 He only took one to the back of the head while he was on the ground as well from Hunter Awani.
08:26 We continue on.
08:31 Good action Michael.
08:34 Is that what you expected to see from Kane Clark?
08:36 That's a little bit different.
08:37 You know normally he's a little bit more of a pressure fighter but he's boxing beautifully.
08:40 You know he's timing all his shots.
08:42 I mean Hunter's just throwing every time he throws.
08:43 You know he needs to you know throw his punches and come forward.
08:47 You know he's just trying to counter fight from a distance.
08:50 Well knowing Hunter Awani he's not going to give up without a fight.
08:54 He's going to make this rough if he needs to.
08:55 Let him go.
08:57 Come on.
08:58 Come on.
08:58 Box on.
08:59 John Couchy might have his work cut out a referee if things head in that direction.
09:07 Let's see what happens here in round number three.
09:11 Kane Clark fighting a smart fight.
09:16 You know he's landing his jab.
09:17 He's getting out of there.
09:19 He's making Hunter hit.
09:20 Good shot again.
09:21 Good counter.
09:22 Beautiful left hand it is from Kane Clark.
09:24 Come on.
09:25 Please punch away.
09:25 Come on.
09:25 Hunter looking to land a big one but Kane Clark just too evasive at this stage.
09:31 Body shot from Clark.
09:32 Good body shot.
09:33 Hunter needs to cut him off there.
09:39 That's where inexperience shows.
09:42 Got him in the corner there.
09:45 Keep him there.
09:46 But he can't do it.
09:47 Fast shot it was from Clark.
09:49 Iwani just wavers towards him but takes that shot when Clark explodes at him.
09:59 Good shot again from Clark.
10:06 Good left hand.
10:08 And another one.
10:09 Beautiful stuff from Clark.
10:11 Iwani misses over the top.
10:12 Clark's left hand is down.
10:14 Iwani misses over the top.
10:14 Clark's left hand is doing damage.
10:16 Sure is.
10:17 He's landing every time.
10:19 He goes to the body with it on that occasion.
10:22 Iwani hangs on to him.
10:23 Oh lovely right hand by Clark.
10:30 Right hand from Kane Clark.
10:35 Iwani came back with a shot of his own but Clark winning the exchanges.
10:40 And he goes to the body as well.
10:43 Nice shot from Iwani but Clark counted right as it got through.
10:58 They work against the ropes but they come back to center ring.
11:06 Geez he's taken some left hands to that right eye as Hunter Iwani.
11:11 He's taken a lot of big shots of that eye but Kane Clark just too smart for him at this stage.
11:16 Iwani a very smart fighter.
11:20 Counters again does Clark and then he just rocks inside one from Iwani and gets away again with
11:30 that left hand.
11:31 Jabbing Iwani.
11:33 I mean Kane Clark does a lot of things sort of unorthodox but it's successful for him.
11:39 You know the way he moves and where he throws his punches from but he's very successful with it.
11:43 Another good round for Kane Clark.
11:45 Beautifully.
11:46 Yeah very good.
11:46 He gets a work on that right eye but he's taken all the shots with the left hand from Kane Clark.
11:59 And we can show you a bunch of them.
12:02 Yeah.
12:03 And again.
12:03 Time and time again.
12:06 He's very smart Kane Clark.
12:15 He's hard to pin.
12:16 He's in, he's out.
12:17 You know makes your miss and he counters, moves, switches.
12:22 Very tough fighter to fight.
12:23 That's why he's 13 and zips.
12:25 He's certainly tough to face as you've been saying Barry but what do you do?
12:31 Good point.
12:31 I mean Hunter needs to basically stick to him like glue and he needs to land shots which
12:37 he's not landing.
12:38 He's been you know made the miss too much.
12:41 Hunter needs to try to cut him off maybe corner him and land a big shot.
12:47 Easier said than done though.
12:49 Any ideas Michael?
12:53 If I was Hunter I'd be just trying to draw him onto something.
12:55 Yeah.
12:55 Use that range.
12:56 And he's got all the advantages to himself so he's just,
12:58 we just walk it forward with his hands down and gets caught on exchange.
13:01 Kane Clark just times it perfectly and lands those overhands.
13:04 Stop holding off.
13:05 Body shot Clark.
13:10 Jabbing is Clark as well.
13:14 And a wild shot from Clark just misses.
13:17 Hunter looking for that big right hand right above us here in the commentary position.
13:25 Hunter only looking to land a big shot is what he needs at this stage but Kane Clark
13:31 is way in front of this day.
13:33 Shuffling forward.
13:41 Iwani again.
13:42 And Clark leaps out.
13:45 He's just happy to go backwards slowly as Clark and
13:58 find Iwani when he closes the gap at this point.
14:03 Makes Iwani miss and then he counters.
14:06 Hey keep them up.
14:18 Hold up.
14:19 Hold up.
14:19 Don't go low all right.
14:20 Yeah.
14:20 Come on.
14:26 That's a huge shot and he clapped it into the canvas.
14:30 Hunter Iwani in shorts.
14:34 He's had sickening noise.
14:37 Yes.
14:37 Wow.
14:39 And Kane Clark can celebrate.
14:43 That was a sudden finish.
14:48 What a beautiful left hand.
14:49 A magnificent victory for Kane Clark but our concern immediately turns to Hunter Iwani who
14:55 he's trying to get up but geez he took a massive shot and then he absolutely thudded into the
15:05 canvas.
15:05 His head thudded big time.
15:07 The fact he was trying to get up shows his toughness but it was an emphatic finish
15:14 for Kane Clark who put on a clinic.
15:19 Oh what a left hand.
15:22 There it is straight on the button.
15:25 Oh down he goes and let's have a listen to what happened.
15:30 And that noise is sickening.
15:38 Great referee by John Couch.
15:41 He stopped the fight straight away.
15:42 He knew the fight was over.
15:44 No point continuing there.
15:46 That's a monster shot straight on the button and down went Hunter Iwani and hard and well
15:54 he's arrived.
15:55 Kane Clark moves to 14 and 0 now.
16:00 10 stoppages.
16:01 No wonder he is so avoided within boxing because he is very very good and just so hard to work out.
16:12 Very hard to work out.
16:13 Does a lot of different things.
16:15 Very clever.
16:16 And you can tell he's in good condition.
16:20 He's hardly even sweating.
16:21 Yeah I know.
16:22 He looks like that 24/7.
16:24 Let's make it official with Stephen Payne.
16:27 Boxing fans let's have a warm round of applause for both of our boxers please in this contest.
16:35 Hunter Iwani and Kane Clark.
