SportsTranscript
00:00 In the back of the head. I want no kidney shots and I want you to keep them up.
00:03 In the event of a knockdown, the standing fighters to go to the neutral corner that I point to over there or the one behind me.
00:08 Touch glove boys. Good luck to both of you.
00:10 Well this is the fight that I had pegged as the fight of the night before we got started.
00:15 But jeez, the heavyweights have given them something to chase in the opener.
00:19 This one is Cody Beacon and Joel Pavlidis.
00:22 And they meet at centre ring.
00:25 Two very skilful and tough middleweights.
00:28 Yeah, we've seen Beacon. He's very good at his experience.
00:31 Very good at his boxing skills.
00:35 But Pavlidis is somebody that Jack Brubaker has given a huge refuge.
00:39 Jack's a tough guy. So when Jack tells me something, I listen.
00:43 There's a good shot from Pavlidis.
00:45 Beacon found him on the way in but he walked straight through it.
00:47 Pavlidis is full of toughness.
00:49 And he is digging in hard to the body of Beacon in the early stages of this opening round.
00:57 And jabbing nicely as well.
01:01 Really showing the intent quite early isn't he Pavlidis?
01:05 He's gone out there and thrown plenty of shots.
01:09 And that's what you've got to do against somebody that everybody thinks is going to beat you.
01:13 You've got to show them early that I'm here.
01:15 I'm not going to hurt you. And if you hurt me...
01:16 Oh, good right hand from Beacon.
01:18 Yeah, but a good uppercut there by Pavlidis as well.
01:21 Strong shot from Cody Beacon.
01:24 But Pavlidis just showed that toughness. Came back with one of his own.
01:29 Really strong footwork from both fighters as well.
01:33 Both finding their way into space to throw their punches.
01:36 And just reaches out with that right hand. Gets through with another.
01:40 Goes to the body of Pavlidis who's under fire here against the ropes.
01:45 Punches his way out of there.
01:46 But better stuff there from Cody Beacon.
01:49 Reaches out with his jab to the body.
01:52 Moves away from the shot of Pavlidis as well.
01:56 Moving backwards is Cody Beacon.
02:05 Uppercut from Pavlidis off the back of that little left hook from Beacon.
02:16 And Pavlidis chased him again.
02:20 Yeah, hitting with two uppercuts there. All the way to the ropes.
02:24 Nice body shot there.
02:26 Oh, he's a big shot Pavlidis.
02:28 Oh, he's hurt.
02:29 Big left hand from Pavlidis.
02:31 Beacon, well there's plenty of swelling.
02:35 And has he recovered?
02:36 Well, I'll tell you what, he was hurt just as Pavlidis come in.
02:38 Landed a big right hand back onto him.
02:41 But that left hook definitely hurt Beacon.
02:44 It's a beautiful shot from Pavlidis.
02:48 Beacon bouncing again now, but he won't want to take too many of them
02:52 as he doubles up his own left hand and finds a good shot there on Pavlidis
02:56 who's trying to move inside.
02:57 And uppercuts again Pavlidis.
02:59 Chasing Pavlidis.
03:04 Beacon, one, two he goes.
03:08 10 seconds.
03:10 Pavlidis just continues to march up to him.
03:13 He's landed with the uppercut about four or five times.
03:15 They've been good punches too.
03:16 There's another one.
03:18 Two, three and four shots Pavlidis to finish an outstanding round of action.
03:23 Really strong stuff.
03:26 Another great fight.
03:27 And this is the Pavlidis corner.
03:33 That's Anthony Pavlidis.
03:34 Big shot, that nice wide hand, but follow it through.
03:37 You've got to get on target with that.
03:38 Don't waste, don't waste too much.
03:40 Come up the middle as well.
03:41 You've got this.
03:42 Great round.
03:44 Three.
03:44 So much action.
03:49 Including that huge shot there from Pavlidis that rocks Cody Beacon for a moment.
03:59 But he came back with shots of his own.
04:01 Really, really strong stuff.
04:05 What are you seeing Harry?
04:06 Absolute beautiful right hook there.
04:09 Textbook right hook.
04:09 I'm going to put the pressure on you Harry.
04:10 Who got that first round mate?
04:12 I have to say Pavlidis, I think he landed the cleaner shots.
04:15 But Cody Beacon also had his moments as well.
04:19 Yeah, tough round.
04:20 Tough round.
04:20 That's good.
04:21 They get straight back into it.
04:25 When you look at that record of Pavlidis, as I said on the walkout,
04:30 it doesn't look that flash really with three, two and one.
04:33 But you have to consider those two back-to-back losses were both on points against Benjamin
04:38 Hussein and Dylan Biggs, who you'll see later tonight.
04:41 Then he had a really good win against Lewis Chadwick, who is coming off a win himself
04:45 after the weekend against Adrian Rodriguez.
04:47 So he is in some form Pavlidis.
04:50 He's got lots of power, lots of toughness.
04:53 He's in with a high quality one though here in Cody Beacon, who's just trying to avoid
05:00 those big shots that come with the left hand of Pavlidis.
05:03 Better stuff there.
05:07 Beacon with a good shot.
05:10 Don't hold.
05:10 Break!
05:11 Beacon just then made a few punches, missed the land with a couple of beauties.
05:15 Strong stuff.
05:19 Both fighters punching, both connecting.
05:22 Don't hold there, keep working.
05:23 The head of Pavlidis rocked back there for a moment.
05:26 It's looking very well Pavlidis.
05:30 Body shot Pavlidis.
05:34 Beacon just tries to find that shot on the inside.
05:36 Don't hold, don't hold.
05:37 Pavlidis.
05:39 Desperate to press the action.
05:41 Now Beacon just gets a moment to breathe.
05:47 What does he do with this space?
05:48 Looks for the upper cut again does Pavlidis.
05:57 It's been successful for him but he takes a couple of shots.
06:00 He doesn't seem to care.
06:01 Pavlidis.
06:02 Shot with the left hand too Pavlidis.
06:08 It's a great fight Jeff isn't it?
06:09 I definitely started.
06:10 Beacon.
06:11 May have just crept a little low that shot there.
06:16 And he gets a warning for it from our referee Dean Cambridge.
06:20 Pavlidis.
06:25 Don't hold, don't hold there.
06:26 Throwing everything.
06:27 You know Harry we talked about the fight, how good is Australian boxing at the moment?
06:30 For me watching these two highly skilled guys that are giving it their all.
06:37 I watched the UFC on the weekend.
06:40 I mean there's more action in these first two rounds we had in the whole main event.
06:44 I couldn't agree more Jeff.
06:46 I think boxing at the moment in Australia is one of the best times in a long time.
06:49 And I'm bloody stoked to be 26 at this time.
06:53 One and two goes Beacon there.
06:56 Pavlidis.
06:58 Hopefully he'll need to keep up this energy if he's...
07:02 I'm stoked to be a commentator.
07:04 Oh there's a good right hand Pavlidis.
07:07 It's great to have both of you here.
07:08 We're watching a good one here as well between Cody Beacon and Joel Pavlidis.
07:14 Oh body shots from Beacon as we head to Charmaine Mipson.
07:24 I'm here with Australia's undefeated super welterweight champion Dylan Biggs.
07:30 Congratulations on your TV debut.
07:32 How are you feeling?
07:33 Yeah I'm feeling really good.
07:34 I'm really pumped for this one.
07:35 It should be a good card.
07:36 Now your opponent, obviously you're coming into this fight nine undefeated fights.
07:41 What do you see the challenge tonight and yeah what are you hoping for?
07:45 At the end of the day he's just another man in the way of me and in the way of my future.
07:49 So I'm looking to take him out just like the rest.
07:51 He is a worthy opponent Ryan Mitchum but you do go into this fight.
07:54 There's been a lot of talk about you and a potential fight with Nikita Zhu.
07:57 Is that something if all things go in your favor tonight you'd be keen on?
08:01 Is that what you're pushing for?
08:02 Oh 100% if all things go in my favor like they should and they will.
08:06 That's definitely something I'd like to set up in the near future.
08:10 Now can you set the record straight because I've heard a few rumors that you and Nikita
08:13 have sparred before and you may have dropped him.
08:15 Can you confirm or deny that one for us?
08:17 I don't discuss sparring sorry.
08:19 Well he's keeping tight-lipped but ladies and gentlemen we will see exactly what he's made of
08:22 very shortly.
08:23 Dylan Biggs thank you so much.
08:24 Dylan Biggs in our main event against Ryan Mitchum a little bit later on and as mentioned
08:29 he is trying to set up that fight with Nikita Zhu.
08:31 These two though at middleweight they've had two very interesting rounds so far.
08:36 Cody Beacon a stronger second round than his first as Pavlidis just tries to get through
08:42 with that uppercut.
08:43 It's a powerful shot for him and he's found some success with it as well.
08:49 Beacon a chopping right hand.
08:59 Flipping around the shots is Pavlidis.
09:02 Mouthpiece just gives them a little break.
09:09 It's been a frantic pace so far.
09:11 I wouldn't want to say Beacon just be on his bike a little bit more.
09:14 You can see Pavlidis wants it to be nice and close and Beacon's got that seven centimeter
09:18 reach.
09:19 Needs to use it a little bit more I reckon.
09:20 He has got those long arms but look his opponent that's in front of him isn't really giving
09:24 him much room and giving him much time to think so.
09:26 He's cutting the ring well isn't he Jack?
09:28 Definitely so.
09:28 All credit to you.
09:29 Punching well to the body as well Pavlidis as Beacon backs off and then finds a really
09:38 nice left hook but Pavlidis oh he takes that one that's a big shot from Beacon.
09:43 Really nice left hook.
09:44 Pavlidis continues to lean in but he was rocked for a moment.
09:47 Beautiful left hook from Cody Beacon and he goes one two.
09:55 Pavlidis continues to press forward the only way he knows but he did feel those shots.
10:02 Beacon tries to turn that right hand around the guard of Pavlidis.
10:06 That was one two and now he's back springing on his toes as Cody Beacon
10:14 leading with his right hand now and the output of Pavlidis just stems for a moment.
10:22 Yeah the first part of the round Pavlidis is in front now Beacon's back there so this
10:26 last minute's going to be really important for the winner of the third round.
10:29 That's hooks been the shot for Beacon in this round but oh what a combination again from Pavlidis.
10:36 Went to the body with two shots finished over the top he looks for his upper cut as well.
10:41 On one land and one just missed.
10:43 Great variety of shots from Pavlidis as well.
10:50 Now Beacon tries to bring the upper cut out.
10:52 He looks to the body of Pavlidis beautiful jab beautiful right hand it was from Beacon that met it.
11:00 Oh another left hook from Beacon Pavlidis tries to find his upper cut and now we'll go to work
11:16 with Beacon using his head movement in that corner with 20 seconds left in this the third round.
11:21 Reaching out now with the upper cut a little dangerously there Pavlidis but
11:34 definitely so good leading up that's a really good that's a better place for it.
11:43 Oh Harry who won the round my friend you've been just sitting here so I love asking you this.
11:48 I don't want to be asked. I can't pick it. I don't know. I cannot pick it. It's been three amazing rounds.
11:54 I tell you what no limit done it once more let's have a look at the highlights.
11:57 Yeah have a look at these left hooks from Beacon. Pavlidis had the legs taken out from him
12:06 for a moment but he finished the round extremely strongly he's incredibly well conditioned.
12:13 Is that man Joel Pavlidis as Vegas Larfield warms up he'll be up next.
12:18 Larfield against Albert Nolan two undefeated fighters heading out for a title fight.
12:26 The WBC Australasia featherweight belts he's on the line there between Larfield and Nolan but
12:34 we are in the middle of a really strong one here.
12:37 A lot of talent behind those two gloves there. Larfield's got a lot of talent.
12:41 Oh
12:41 What do we want to see here Jeff from Cody Beacon in particular.
12:50 Well I'd like to agree with what Harry said to use that distance and get behind that jab a little
12:55 more and everything come from that but um in the first three rounds he hasn't been allowed to do
13:00 that although he's doing it now. Maybe his opponent is a little tired but um yeah.
13:06 Oh there's a good shot that left hook of Beacon is really starting to find a home.
13:15 Yeah Pavlidis can't afford to stand off and give Beacon room.
13:22 That's where he needs to be.
13:25 Big left hand from Beacon he absorbed the shots to the body
13:31 and he came back with that explosive punch of his own.
13:34 Back box.
13:36 Some of these left hooks these boys are throwing tonight Jesus Christ.
13:42 Monstrous shots but Pavlidis just walks forward.
13:48 One two three over the top he goes. Oh uppercuts of beauty Pavlidis.
14:01 Comes out with his own left hook and now goes to the body and finishes over the top two does
14:06 Pavlidis. Lots of swelling now from those left hooks. Pavlidis has damage around his eye.
14:16 Pavlidis is ducking making him miss him Harry but he's not punching at the same time you know
14:21 you gotta when you make him miss you gotta make him pay at the same time.
14:24 Absolutely used to see Mike Tyson do that so well back in the day.
14:26 Oh beautiful shot again. Beacon.
14:31 Just picked him off on the way in.
14:32 Counter shot Pavlidis.
14:41 He tries to lead with a wild left hook there Beacon.
14:56 Got through with one there as Pavlidis chased.
14:58 Body shot from Beacon and the referee gives him some space but Pavlidis takes it straight away.
15:07 Watch the elbows in there. He started to lead with that left hook after the success as Beacon.
15:14 Then he goes left hook right hand well and Pavlidis
15:19 combination punching again and he does that very well.
15:22 Again the early part of the round was Beacon now Pavlidis is coming home very strong.
15:30 Big right hand Beacon. Huge right hands but once again Pavlidis shows incredible conditioning.
15:39 Well that's been the query could Pavlidis keep this up but
15:49 with the way that he's absorbing punches and continuing to press forward I think he could go
15:54 all day. This is the Pavlidis corner.
15:56 Concentrate on your defense mate. You're trying too hard don't waste all that energy.
16:07 You're on target every punch now. Don't waste it. You need to work right up. We want this.
16:11 Sit that mid-range.
16:16 Yeah enough.
16:18 Enough.
16:20 Enough.
16:22 Start working.
16:24 Get your work. Start brawling.
16:26 He doesn't know how to handle it.
16:28 Come up the middle more.
16:30 Start brawling.
16:32 Keep the pressure on him.
16:34 Get the pressure on him.
16:36 He's taking damage but he doesn't look tired Pavlidis which is quite incredible the way that he's going forward all the time and taking big shots as well.
16:44 The power of the shots they've both taken it's pretty incredible at the moment. This has been
16:48 a four-round fight that you usually see as many punches in 10 rounds and and the power of it's
16:54 been amazing as well. Every punch is like these are all power punches. Look at that. That's a power
16:58 punch. It's a power jab. It's a power punch. Power rip. Power hook. Everything's power.
17:03 They're putting everything into it aren't they Jeff? Both boys.
17:06 Chasing again Pavlidis and look at the desperation on him.
17:11 Throwing these shots and trying to dig in with power. He gets through. They creep a little bit low and he gets a warning and Beacon's very happy for the break.
17:21 Pavlidis' corner was talking about a bit more pressure, a bit more additional but he's done everything.
17:32 I don't know what you can ask him mate. I'd ask him maybe to have his hands up a little bit higher at times but there his punch range has just been amazing.
17:40 Well he hasn't missed a day in the gym that's for sure Pavlidis.
17:44 Mate it's Cody Beacon for that matter. As he goes to the body again Pavlidis and he does so well at starting downstairs and finishing up.
17:59 There's a good right hand from him. Now he goes to work.
18:04 Break. Break.
18:08 A lot of them hitting Beacon on the gloves there, on the robes but they still take it out of him don't they Jeff?
18:15 I don't know what you said.
18:17 Just watching Pavlidis as he goes in. He has that right hand a little low and he's open for the Beacon left hook.
18:22 It's up now when he throws his punches. Have you ever watched?
18:29 Keep punching.
18:31 And two and three from Pavlidis. He's worked really hard again in this fifth round.
18:37 Yeah he's been a real good round. Pavlidis has most probably been his best round so far.
18:43 Big right hand there. Big shots. Again Pavlidis has done so well in this round.
19:03 Can he keep it up through the last 30 seconds?
19:06 And what's Cody Beacon got for him?
19:13 Sits down on that right hand but misses this Beacon.
19:16 Pavlidis presses in. He'll try and work on the inside here and he does that again.
19:21 Counter shot with the left hand from Beacon.
19:24 Pavlidis to the body. Doubles up the right hand.
19:27 Hunching down there is Beacon. Blood from the nose and he's got it.
19:31 Pavlidis to the body. Doubles up the right hand.
19:34 Hunching down there is Beacon. Blood from the nose of Pavlidis now.
19:39 Big shots again.
19:45 That was the first round. I constantly think that somebody won the round.
19:49 I think that round was Pavlidis. I think he started good, finished good.
19:53 You can't come and sit on the road like that.
19:57 You've got to give it everything you've got this round.
20:02 I want you to right hook, left hook, right hook, left hook. Just keep it going.
20:07 You're fit enough. Just work. You've got it well.
20:14 Let's go. Stand up. Let's get this.
20:20 So that is Brett Beacon in the corner of Cody Beacon and they just want more work.
20:26 I think I could have been right in my summation of that last round because they're a little worried at the moment.
20:31 Absolutely. As I was saying, right hand, left hook, right hand, left hook.
20:35 I want to show you some intent from Cody Beacon in this last round.
20:38 I think it was a right hook, left hook.
20:41 If Beacon steps it up with what Pavlidis has been doing, this last round could be absolutely anything.
20:48 Beacon and Pavlidis. Five outstanding rounds so far.
20:56 And they're about to go to another level. Body shots from Pavlidis.
21:00 Beacon just wheels around to his left. Sits down on a right hand is Cody Beacon.
21:05 A nice one too. Pavlidis won't give him any air. No space at all as he leans in.
21:10 And a little uppercut there on the inside from Beacon.
21:13 Pavlidis wants to get those gloves free and they just get a chance to break.
21:20 Both get through with shots. Jab from Beacon is a good one.
21:25 Pavlidis tries to weave around it. Now he goes to work.
21:28 The right hand was a good one from Pavlidis.
21:31 Into the chest of Beacon as they rumble down.
21:35 In this neutral corner, the uppercut, Pavlidis.
21:38 He's a man possessed is Pavlidis.
21:44 We talk about motors and engines in this sport. These both guys have got great ones.
21:49 They put power on every single shot. Unbelievable.
21:52 You talk about power shots. 85% of these guys punched to the throat have been power shots.
21:59 And they're still there. Beautiful uppercut again by Pavlidis.
22:03 And there's another right hand. Great stuff Pavlidis.
22:08 He doubled up that right hand and finished with the uppercut.
22:10 Then he threw a long one over the top. Beacon tried to move back with him.
22:14 Great step back. That hurt Beacon.
22:19 Oh, uppercut. This last round could be the round to decide the fight.
22:25 Oh, it has to be so. First few rounds were very, very close.
22:28 Well, Pavlidis is the one who's finishing the stronger in this fight.
22:32 He was really strong in round number five.
22:34 And he has been relentless here in the final.
22:37 Yeah, well, like I said, round five was the most decisive to me.
22:40 The others were very hard to pick a winner.
22:42 But this round again, Pavlidis is doing the same thing.
22:45 And Beacon probably had his strongest round in round four where he threw all those solid left hooks as well.
22:50 So Pavlidis, he has shown all sorts of heart as Beacon sits on the ropes there for a moment.
22:58 Don't hold, fellas. Don't hold. Keep on.
23:00 Uppercuts from Pavlidis with 45 seconds left in the fight.
23:04 Counter, left hook. Doubling it up is Beacon.
23:07 But not the same sort of power on those shots as he sits down on a right hand.
23:10 It's Pavlidis. He's throwing with intent.
23:13 Right hand, Pavlidis. Keep him up. Keep him up.
23:16 To the body he goes. Beacon covers up to those.
23:20 Break. Break. He just hangs on to him.
23:25 Pavlidis. Beat him. How'd they beat him?
23:28 There's a beautiful shot from Beacon.
23:33 Don't hold, fellas. Don't hold.
23:38 And they just give themselves a moment because the ten seconds to go will be absolute fire between Cody Beacon and Joel Pavlidis
23:47 who trade to the bell in what has been yet another outstanding war.
23:53 Two fights. Two absolute belters to get us started here on Fox Sports.
23:59 Joel Pavlidis and Cody Beacon. They've taken things to a whole new level.
24:05 Amazing two fights. What a way to start a program off, Harry.
24:08 I'm just, I'm shaking. I've got goosebumps. I'm thinking, wow, this is amazing.
24:12 No limit doing it once more. Their show last time, Brubanker versus Nakedu Zuu was absolutely exceptional.
24:18 Once again, two amazing fights. They put on some of the best shows worldwide.
24:24 Just an incredible fight there between Cody Beacon and Joel Pavlidis.
24:30 Take us through all of the highlights because there were plenty, fellas.
24:38 I'll tell you something. I'm dying to wait to see what the scorecards are because this is a very, very close fight.
24:43 But these two guys are punching the body. I mean, Pavlidis had a beautiful uppercut.
24:47 Beacon, a beautiful left hook. I mean, just watching it excites me.
24:50 Australian boxing is so great at the moment. I know we're giving a lot of reps to Manny Rose and the team, which they deserve.
24:56 But I want to give reps to the fighters and the trainers who have prepared them so well for these fights.
25:01 Well, they're all stepping up, aren't they, time and time again.
25:03 And these two have hit the big stage here and they've produced the best performances of their careers so far.
25:10 And it just turned into something really special at Middleweight.
25:14 Pavlidis relentless moving forward, throwing with power and delivering with intent constantly.
25:20 And Beacon had such strong moments through the middle stages of this fight.
25:24 But Pavlidis just wouldn't stop, Harry.
25:27 Round five and six, Pavlidis looked exceptional. I think that could almost be the thing that ties him over.
25:32 Wait a minute. I'm going to press on the spot. Who won the fight?
25:35 I think they might give it to Pavlidis.
25:37 I say Pavlidis.
25:38 I say Pavlidis by one round.
25:41 Yeah, it'll be really close, whatever happens, because the first four were so very tight.
25:47 Pavlidis came back really, really strongly.
25:51 Well, still, I think he must have won one out of the first four.
25:54 I know he won the last two. So we'll see.
25:57 He may have. He may have.
25:58 But we're about to find out because it's been a great fight.
26:02 I'd love to see it again.
26:03 Both of the fights we've had so far could be turned into rematches.
26:07 Next up, two undefeated fighters, Vegas Lafield and Albert Nolan.
26:11 But let's find out the winner or if it's a draw.
26:14 This one we send up to Lieutenant Tan.
26:18 Ladies and gentlemen, can we please have a round of applause for these two middleweight warriors.
