00:00 Hey gentlemen, you received your instructions in the dressing room.
00:03 I expect a good clean fight.
00:05 Protect yourselves at all times.
00:07 Obey my commands at all times.
00:08 Touch him up.
00:11 You see some of those ribbons on either side of the trunks of Tiger Johnson.
00:18 One of them is blue and that is for mental health awareness and the other one, or actually
00:23 that's the green one, the blue one is for autism awareness because his brother Trey,
00:28 25 years old, living with autism, he says, "I know the difficulties, so I always represent."
00:38 South Park vs. the Orthodox, you already know what this is, an open stance battle.
00:43 Know what that means?
00:45 That means that the lead hands of both fighters are lined up on the same side.
00:51 So it's a little difficult to land your jab.
00:53 You gotta learn how to come underneath it or over the top of it.
00:56 But those back hands is what you want to line up and you do that by getting that foot, placing
01:00 that lead foot outside of your opponent's lead foot.
01:04 Right there you see Tiger right there taking a step back, half a step back to unleash a
01:08 right hand.
01:09 And he says, "One of the things you'll see is my comfort in the pocket.
01:14 Before I used to not want to get hit, so I'd pop my shots and then be out of the way before
01:18 they could throw back.
01:19 Now I'm sitting on my punches."
01:21 And Prentice Brewer says, "You can expect to see more power generated and more knockouts
01:26 in the fights to come from Tiger Johnson.
01:29 Look at Galdino is a guy that's hyperactive.
01:31 You know, he's usually turkey jerky, likes to jump in and out of range.
01:37 He's getting kind of tame right now.
01:38 He's marching forward, but he's being defensively responsible right now because he feels the
01:42 power of Tiger.
01:45 That overhand right from Tiger, which has been effective with both the left and the
01:50 right hand so far in the first half of this opening round.
01:54 And you see the body work once again from Tiger.
01:57 And Tim, the punch variety is interesting.
01:58 >> And the placement.
01:59 And the placement.
02:00 And the calmness of Tiger.
02:03 That's what you want to see in a young fighter.
02:04 You don't want to see him jumping out of range and trying not to get hit.
02:08 You want him to get comfortable inside the eye of the storm, which is mid-range.
02:13 And that's what you're seeing right now from Tiger.
02:15 Tiger's comfortable there.
02:17 Not running, stepping back when he needs to, countering effectively.
02:21 >> Ooh, that straight lead right from Tiger sets up that left hook.
02:26 >> Oh, he started the shutdown system already.
02:29 Shutdown.
02:30 He's countering everything Galdino does.
02:33 He shoots a jab, right hook coming down the middle.
02:35 He shoots a lazy left hand, right hand coming right down the middle.
02:38 I mean, coming with the hook, too.
02:40 He's doing a little bit of everything right now.
02:42 Look at that right hand.
02:43 >> Ooh, what a straight right to stop Galdino in his tracks.
02:45 And that left uppercut puts Galdino down.
02:47 >> Bro, a left uppercut against a southpaw?
02:50 Come on now.
02:52 Come on.
02:53 Tell me people how many people have seen that one.
02:57 >> And still 25 seconds left in the opening round.
03:01 And you mentioned it's shutdown mode for Tiger Johnson.
03:05 >> He beat the fight out of him.
03:06 >> And that is, that right hand makes the legs of Galdino shake.
03:10 And it's a matter of time.
03:12 14 seconds and there is referee Ricky Gonzalez has seen enough.
03:17 There was a right hand, Tim, that just stopped Galdino in his tracks once again.
03:23 And there was nothing he could do to keep this Tiger off of him as he gets his sixth
03:27 knockout win in 12 victories.
03:30 >> That's beautiful work.
03:32 Great execution.
03:33 Good speed, accuracy, punch placement, great balance, punching power.
03:39 You've seen it all.
03:41 Seen it all tonight.
03:42 Footwork was on point as well.
03:44 Didn't move around a whole hell of a lot.
03:46 Always set the punch.
03:47 There's a lot of good things to take from this victory tonight for young Tiger.
03:51 He's moving in the right direction.
03:52 And see, you always want to see it increase.
03:55 You always want to see a fighter get better and continue to get better over and over and
03:59 over and over.
04:00 It's a great, great style matchup and a great finish for Tiger.
04:05 >> Let's see how this fight goes.
04:06 >> Look at this.
04:07 Straight right hand right down the middle.
04:09 Galdino couldn't find a way to get away from it.
04:11 See the combination.
04:12 But you see the short uppercuts.
04:13 He sees the high guard.
04:15 This is IQ right here.
04:17 Right hand straight down the middle.
04:18 Punches through the high guard.
04:20 Comes in with a double right hand.
04:21 Comes around the guard.
04:22 Gets him to bring his hands in a little bit, even closer, and splits the guard with the
04:27 right hand.
04:28 And this is the end of the fight right here.
04:29 Just a great finish.
04:30 Knew he had his man hurt.
04:32 Had him out of position.
04:33 You see him in the T position right there.
04:34 He's squared up.
04:35 T position.
04:36 Tiger makes the T. And here's the follow-up shots.
04:42 Down to the body.
04:43 Coming around the guard.
04:44 A little variation to get that kill shot in.
04:47 And the referee right there steps in.
04:48 Says I've seen enough.
04:50 Young Tiger, you going home early tonight.
04:52 >> And it was a right hand that started both series of punches.
04:56 >> And the right hand is what you look for when you're facing a southpaw.
04:59 Brilliant work.
05:00 Great execution by the young Tiger Johnson.
05:02 >> You see the smile on the face of Tiger Johnson.
05:05 Once again victorious under trainer Prentice Brewer.
05:09 Gets his 12th win.
05:11 Half of them now by way of knockout.
05:14 And if this is what we're going to be seeing from Tiger Johnson moving ahead, it's going
05:18 to be a lot of fun to see.
05:20 All right.
05:21 Let's send it up to Mark Schmitt.
05:22 >> Ladies and gentlemen, here inside the theater at Madison Square Park, referee Ricky Gonzales
05:28 calls a stop to this round at two minutes, 49 seconds of round number one.
05:35 For your winner by technical knockout, Tiger Johnson.
05:39 >> Two minutes and 49 seconds is all it took for Tiger Johnson to handle business against
05:48 southpaw Paolo Galdino.
