00:00All right, guys, I'll give you guys your instructions.
00:02You're gonna see instructions.
00:04Protect yourselves at all times.
00:05Obey my commands at all times.
00:07Obey my commands at all times, okay?
00:09Buenos suertes.
00:13There we had the referee, Rudy Barragán,
00:17who is going to direct his professional fight,
00:20number 626 at the moment.
00:22Go, Parker!
00:27All set.
00:28The bell is sounding.
00:29The main characters are in the center of the ring.
00:32Both on the right side of the ring at the moment.
00:35Benitez wearing black pants,
00:38with silver ribs on the side,
00:42and total black with golden letters
00:44for Adrián, the Bambam Corona.
00:47Benitez from the beginning,
00:49He's doing what he said prior to the fight that he had to do is go and try to beat Corona.
00:59Don't let him be comfortable at a distance.
01:03He knows that Corona likes to counterattack.
01:05He has a very good defense with his hands up.
01:09There's the Tomahawk that the right hander just put on Adrian Corona.
01:19The Bam Bam on Eric Benitez who put up with everything.
01:22He did a head and jaw movement that looked like he lost the vertical by the way.
01:28And it's curious, Benitez is a lawyer, he's a DA.
01:35He started late with boxing, basically 7 years ago is when he started to dedicate himself more to boxing.
01:47And full time 3 and a half years ago, even though he still works as a lawyer.
01:53And we'll see if he can argue something substantial to get the win.
02:02So, he likes to argue?
02:04Yes!
02:06Be it fist fights or verbal, he likes to fight.
02:10He likes to resolve conflicts.
02:12And here's one with Adrian Corona face to face.
02:15They're in the Tomahawk.
02:18Two styles that are trying to match.
02:21A lot of very open punches from Benitez.
02:25He's a little vulnerable when he's throwing his punches.
02:29He has a good left hook.
02:31That's where Adrian Corona can take advantage of to connect him.
02:37A little more close guard.
02:39Crosses.
02:41The Bam Bam Corona.
02:43And they bump into each other again.
02:45A fight that has had a lot of hugs since the start.
02:49It's been almost 3 minutes.
02:51And you can see more of the counter attack from Corona.
02:55Waiting for Benitez to open up.
03:00And leave some space where he can connect some good hands.
03:04Obviously Corona trying to study Benitez a little more.
03:10And he does have that good left hook.
03:14But he jumps every time he throws it.
03:17And that could be very dangerous.
03:20Because when you throw that jump you get exposed.
03:24And it's easy to lose balance.
03:27There's a leg movement from both.
03:29It's getting complicated.
03:31Samrenta is touching Benitez' gloves against Corona.
03:34We'll be right back.
03:36A decisive match in the Honduras National League.
03:40With the semifinal between Olympia and Deportivo Genesis.
03:45Sunday, live on FOX Deportes.
03:51When they ask you where you're going.
03:54Tell them with your strong, resonant, brave voice.
03:58That you will go as far as you decide.
04:02Learn more about the National McDonald's Baccalaureate.
04:08We're back.
04:10The most important thing is the first chapter.
04:13A series of erratic punches.
04:17Because they don't land.
04:19They'll have to tune it as they go.
04:22They're getting hot in the ring.
04:24Both of them failed a lot in that.
04:26Yes, but Eric Benitez is more aggressive.
04:30I think he waited too long to throw Corona's punches.
04:35Maybe he took Benitez' round.
04:39Just for the activity.
04:43Good right hand.
04:47Crossed over the jaw of Adrian Corona by Benitez.
04:52Now he puts it in the middle.
04:54This veteran is 29 years old.
04:57Against Benitez' 23 against Corona.
05:00But in terms of fights.
05:03Adrian Corona has more experience in the professional world.
05:05Good hand in the form of a right hand fly.
05:07Although he crouched a little.
05:09I think he touched Corona's left ear.
05:13It's a dangerous area where he can get hit.
05:16He'll have to be careful with those ferocious punches.
05:19Eric Benitez throws.
05:21Again, look at it.
05:22It's drawn.
05:23He tries to connect on a second chance.
05:25He looks for the uppercut.
05:26But it lands on Corona's left shoulder.
05:29He shortens the distance.
05:31And suddenly you see problems against the neutral corner.
05:34He wants to get his hands out.
05:36He obeys with his head and waist.
05:39Eric Benitez doesn't let him get out of the corner.
05:42He knows that his chance is being just above Corona.
05:46He doesn't let Corona stretch his hands.
05:49Not only to overwhelm him.
05:51But to throw so many punches.
05:54That he can stun Corona a little.
05:57And that he can't do his style of fighting.
06:00Which is exactly what happened here in this first minute and a half of the second round.
06:04He'll have to start moving a little more.
06:07And start throwing his punches first.
06:10Not to wait so long.
06:12There he turns to Corona.
06:14Benitez putting pressure on him.
06:15Careful.
06:16He hits his head.
06:17There was no apparent damage.
06:19And now he takes the step when the referee intervenes.
06:23Rudy Barragán to separate them.
06:25Once again.
06:26Now against the blue corner.
06:27Exactly.
06:28Good right hand.
06:29And then the left also in the form of an uppercut by Corona.
06:32On Benitez.
06:33Very good right hand by Benitez.
06:35Completely different styles.
06:37And a lot of forcing.
06:38Which wears out a lot the elbows.
06:41Especially for Benitez.
06:42Who proposes it.
06:44Yes.
06:45Because Corona usually ends on top of him.
06:49And when they put the body on top of you.
06:52It wears you out.
06:53It tires you out quickly.
06:57Now Benitez what he does a lot.
07:00When he comes in throwing that right hand.
07:02Very crazy.
07:03Very flying.
07:04Very open.
07:05He comes in with his head down.
07:08Corona notices it.
07:09He could start throwing more uppercuts.
07:12And grab Benitez while he's coming in.
07:14True.
07:15There we are.
07:16And the last 10 seconds for this chapter to end.
07:19There he is.
07:20Not to be white.
07:21Fico was on the left.
07:22Direct to Benitez's jaw.
07:24While again they hook in an arm.
07:27Pause moment.
07:29We'll be back with more.
07:59Start your free trial today.
08:30He's aggressive now Corona.
08:32Because in the second part of the second round.
08:34That's what he did.
08:35He started to take the rhythm a little more.
08:38We're in action again.
08:39The third of the six fights.
08:42Here he comes in with a little more precision.
08:45Erick Benitez Garcia.
08:47Connecting the left.
08:48I think it's his best hand.
08:50And the right hand.
08:52Somehow he throws like crazy.
08:54That's what he's used to.
08:58Look at that.
08:59That right cross.
09:01He came to the jaw.
09:02How uncomfortable it is to fight against Benitez.
09:04I'm going to tell you.
09:05Because it's an unorthodox style.
09:07The one that he shows to Corona and all his rivals.
09:09Here you can see the fact that he started to dedicate more to boxing.
09:14Late in his career.
09:16Still needs to polish it.
09:18But what he does have is that he's aggressive.
09:21He's a striker.
09:23He likes to go to the front.
09:25Be on top of you.
09:27And not let him throw the punches.
09:28And that's what he's been doing with Corona.
09:30I think he needs to take a step back.
09:33To have a little more space.
09:35And be able to let go of both hands.
09:37And he's marking with that left hand.
09:39The Bam Bam Corona.
09:40The distance to meet.
09:41There's the left hand that came to crush the jaw.
09:44And Erick Benitez's head.
09:47The referee is going to intervene.
09:51I thought I was going to give them some advice.
09:54A little late.
09:55When they had already separated.
09:56Both in what is half of the third chapter.
09:59He's going by leg.
10:00Retroceding.
10:01Erick Benitez for the moment.
10:03To put distance.
10:05And then come with everything.
10:07In the counterattack.
10:08There it is.
10:09He's dressing like a bull.
10:10From Lidia.
10:11Finding just with his right hand.
10:13In the form of a hook.
10:15The good white.
10:16That waist movement.
10:17Then he gets up with that right hand.
10:19Striking him in the face of Adrian Corona.
10:21Who was surprised.
10:22After throwing multiple blows.
10:24No landing.
10:27Again.
10:28Good combination.
10:29He connected.
10:30After three.
10:31The right one.
10:32In the form of a hook.
10:33Corona.
10:34Received the right hook.
10:35And then the left hook.
10:36Now.
10:37Of what Erick Benitez Garcia proposes.
10:38The one from Guadalajara.
10:39Jalisco.
10:42You have a fighter.
10:44Pretty.
10:45Crazy.
10:46Like Benitez.
10:48Who also takes blows.
10:49From any angle.
10:52You have to be very attentive.
10:53To where Benitez is.
10:54Because even when he goes down.
10:55He takes the blows.
10:58It's hard to get used to someone like that.
11:00Especially in a fight.
11:01Of few rounds.
11:02Of course.
11:03You have to find.
11:04Well.
11:05Maintain with a lot of discipline.
11:06Adrian Corona.
11:07To connect him.
11:08He's already there.
11:09He did well with the right.
11:10Now with the left.
11:11And finally.
11:12He managed to propose here.
11:13His fight plan.
11:14Which was probably like this.
11:15At the end of this assault.
11:16Then.
11:17Now.
11:18He squeezes the metal.
11:19In the form of a hook.
11:20In the form of a hook.
11:21In the form of a hook.
11:23Now.
11:24He squeezes the metal.
11:25Also.
11:26Eric Benitez.
11:27He took a blow there.
11:28In the neck.
11:29Apparently.
11:30Who is the one who bothered him.
11:31We return.
11:32A decisive phase.
11:33In the National League.
11:34Of Honduras.
11:35With the semifinal.
11:36Back.
11:37Between.
11:38Olympia.
11:39And.
11:40Sportive.
11:41Genesis.
11:42On Sunday.
11:43Live.
11:44By.
11:45Fox Sports.
11:48When they ask you.
11:49Where are you going.
11:50Tell them.
11:51With your loud voice.
11:52Strong.
11:53Resonant.
11:54Brave.
11:55That you will get.
11:56As far as.
11:57You.
11:58Decide.
11:59Learn more.
12:00About.
12:01The national scholarship.
12:02To do.
12:03McDonald's.
12:04Look.
12:05We are back.
12:06This is.
12:07The most rescatable.
12:08Of this previous assault.
12:09Jaime.
12:10Yes.
12:11He put.
12:12Against the ropes.
12:13There.
12:14To Benitez.
12:15He has a good movement.
12:16Without a doubt.
12:17Despite everything.
12:18Benitez.
12:19He took several blows.
12:20Also.
12:21The shoulder roll.
12:22I would like to see.
12:23Corona.
12:24Employ.
12:25More.
12:26Often.
12:27The jab.
12:28Throw it.
12:29More.
12:30Do not let.
12:31That.
12:32Enter.
12:33So easily.
12:34Benitez.
12:35Uh.
12:36Here we are.
12:37Careful.
12:38With him.
12:39Encounter.
12:40And.
12:41Both.
12:42Delivering.
12:43Power blows.
12:44What they are looking for.
12:45And more.
12:46Benitez.
12:47We see him there.
12:48After.
12:49Suddenly.
12:50He has to throw.
12:52Benitez.
12:53It's.
12:54Finishing.
12:55So hard.
12:56Alicia.
12:57Going.
12:58To cue, Laura.
12:59Go to.
13:00And.
13:01What.
13:02What?
13:03libero.
13:12I nice.
13:13Lower.
13:14Emotional.
13:15You.
13:16The cold.
13:17when he decided to become a lawyer. He quit boxing, it was something he did part-time and it was only 3 and a half years ago when he decided to fully dedicate himself to boxing.
13:31So when you're older, he's 29 years old, you're talking about he was 25 and a half, 26 years old when he started to get more serious with boxing.
13:42Obviously you're not technically that good yet, so the footwork gets tangled up a lot.
14:13So now he has to calm down, focus and slow down the revolutions so he can connect his punches better.
14:20On the other hand, Adrian Corona, the Bambam, comes at this moment from not winning in 3 fights.
14:272 of them were due to a tie, a majority tie and one due to a loss in unanimous decision.
14:33So Corona also feels the urgency to return to the path of victory.
14:38Yes, and it's difficult to face someone like Benitez, so crazy, so savage in a way.
14:48Because he never lets you establish yourself well.
15:08He's also short, medium and long, flat. Good right hand from Corona.
15:14It seems that when a good punch is made, he regains confidence and the attack comes.
15:20Well, to the hepatic zone and then up to the left hand, then to the right.
15:23Again, the combination from Corona didn't come out for free because he also receives a hard blow from Benitez.
15:29We'll be back after this intensity.
15:38Final round between Olympia and Deportivo Genesis.

16:05The analysis, Jaime.
16:07Good left hand that connected to the end.
16:10There, the left blows from Corona reached their goal
16:17due to the fact that when the right hand lands, Benitez starts to go up
16:23and leaves himself totally exposed.
16:26So he's ready to be connected by those good left hooks
16:30that I wouldn't be surprised if one of those sent him to the canvas, Benitez.
16:34Here we are back in the fifth, penultimate chapter of this fight
16:40that is in the category of light weights.
16:43Be careful with this.
16:44The intensity of the fight rises in the center of the quadrilateral.
16:46Well, the right hand again now in the form of a fly.
16:49The one that Benitez proposes over Corona and lands it well on the face of the resident of Rialto, California.
16:55He is also lucky, Corona, that apparently Benitez's hit is not too strong
17:02because he has already connected it with those right blows.
17:06That if it is someone who has gunpowder in his fists,
17:10be careful because he connects it a lot in the 100.
17:14True.
17:16Once again to the action.
17:18Good right from Benitez.
17:21And he stays away.
17:22It seems that for a moment Corona begins to make an adjustment,
17:26staying out and then entering, but making an explosion with combinations.
17:31For now, there is a right hand attack by Benitez.
17:34He cut the distance again, but now he didn't throw it.
17:37The referee warns him, by the way, not to do a lever with the forearm on the neck of his rival Corona.
17:43And Benitez's blows from time to time are so crazy
17:48that instead of hitting with the glove, he is hitting with the forearm.
17:54True.
17:55That can be dangerous for cuts on your opponent.
18:00Once again, here we are, half of the 5th chapter is already over.
18:04He is also approaching.
18:06There is another important detail to highlight, Jaime, friends.
18:09Adrian Corona comes, approaches, but with his hands the guard a little down.
18:13So he came and asked for Eric Benitez, who received him with a right hand.
18:18If you come and approach, you have to be ready with the guard up or throwing blows, one of two.
18:23And it is something very atypical on the part of Corona.
18:27He is a fairly technical fighter, always with the guard up.
18:32It seems to me that Benitez has taken a little bit of Kisio to Corona,
18:37who does not know exactly where he is.
18:39He is between yes and no, both in the distance and in what he wants to do.
18:44And with his hands, also in the middle, neither up nor down.
18:47Sure, it bothers him a lot.
18:49A good uppercut that Eric Benitez drew right there,
18:52in the chin of Adrian Corona, who suffered it.
18:55And now against the ropes, he stays again.
18:57There is the takedown.
18:59He does a javel, freestyle style, to stop that, well,
19:04a very incessant takedown from Eric Benitez,
19:07who has the battery quite well recharged, by the way.
19:11Last seconds, 15, we only have the clock to finish the fifth.
19:15And there will only be the end for the closing.
19:18A fight also complicated for the judges, to say.
19:22There are those who are very purists and like more, a more technical boxing.
19:26And in that sense, Adrian Corona would have an advantage.
19:28But you have to see how many hits to land.
19:31We return.
19:35A day full of good Italian football in Serie B.
19:39Palermo seeks to win and follow its ascending path
19:42when it faces Pisa.
19:44Saturday, December 16.
19:46Live by Fox Sports.
20:05Look, we're back.
20:07And look who's here in the house.
20:09The four-time world champion Leo Santacruz.
20:12Here in Long Beach.
20:13One of his brothers behind.
20:15The other brother was precisely in the corner,
20:20as coach of one of the fighters we had previously.
20:25The famous earthquake.
20:27You can't forget the fights with Abner Mares.
20:31Unfortunately, many remember the knockout he suffered
20:34against Gervonta Tank-Davis.
20:36Tank-Davis, of course.
20:38He also fought against Carl Frampton, among others.
20:42The most recent was Victoria, which was in February 2022
20:46against Kenan Carvajal.
20:48So, greetings to him and his family.
20:50Here is the world champion.
20:54I'm of the opinion that they should keep calling him
20:57like the presidents of the United States.
20:59You were champion, you're champion forever.
21:01Yes.
21:02And not ex-champion.
21:03Of course.
21:04Here we are back.
21:06Last chapter.
21:07Let's see how they close it.
21:12Look, such a complicated fight.
21:15I have it 3-2 in favor of Corona.
21:18You just mentioned that Corona comes from two draws
21:21in his last three fights.
21:23Depending on what happens here,
21:25he could come out with a third draw.
21:28Yes, it's interesting.
21:31It's interesting what you say.
21:33What a right hand from Benitez.
21:37He's not very accurate, but when he connects,
21:41he connects with everything.
21:43Sometimes I think he could even close his eyes
21:46when it comes to throwing punches
21:48because he's one of those who says,
21:50well, let's try our luck.
21:52Of course.
21:53Of course, no doubt.
21:55The important back that Adrian Corona has
21:58in his corner, Abel Sanchez,
22:00nothing more and nothing less.
22:02Ex-champion, great champion,
22:04the Triple G, the closest one,
22:06maybe there are others more.
22:08And that's a diamond in the pocket,
22:11let's say, of any fighter.
22:13And that has to help you
22:15when it comes to deciphering fighters like Benitez.
22:18Benitez has made it very difficult tonight.
22:22It's like an algebra problem,
22:25one of those that makes you think twice
22:30and sometimes you have it right,
22:33but by putting,
22:35whether you failed with the negative sign or not,
22:39the problem makes you feel bad
22:42even though you did the computation right.
22:45Of course.
22:46Here we go in the final stretch,
22:4840 seconds left
22:50for the sixth and final assault to end.
22:52There he is tightening the boxing belt,
22:55Adrian Corona,
22:56and he has it against the ropes,
22:58Benitez,
22:59when he is precisely making a key
23:01in a final moment,
23:03making the maximum effort,
23:05trying to maintain the order,
23:07I think, of himself,
23:08Adrian Corona,
23:09and showing himself with that technique
23:11that he has a little more refined,
23:13or much more refined than Benitez.
23:17Yes, it seems to me that Benitez
23:19is taking advantage of these last moments of the round
23:22to be able to connect
23:24and maybe take the round,
23:27surprise here.
23:29I tell you, it's a much closer fight than we expected.
23:31Perfect.
23:32Let's pause,
23:33we'll be back with the decision of this fight.
23:49Who will win?
23:52Who will lose?
23:55Who will win?
23:58Who will lose?
24:01Who will win?
24:03Who will lose?
24:07Jorjito,
24:08an extremely prepared guy,
24:10has a vocabulary that few have on television.
24:14I think the one who has had the most patience,
24:16but why?
24:17Because he is, for me, like the bear on the table.
24:20That's how I see it.
24:22In the air we give ourselves a few taps,
24:24and that makes us the water and oil of the program,
24:29which makes it a very fun complement for my taste.

25:37Here we are again, friends,
25:38tonight at the Long Beach Boxing Center in California.
25:41And well, a pretty close fight,
25:43the one that has been given to us by Corona and Benitez right now.
25:46Difficult task for the judges, Jaime.
25:48Very complicated the fight,
25:50very close,
25:51in confusing moments.
25:54It seems to me that the judges,
25:55depending on what kind of fight they like,
25:58may go with one or the other.
26:01Because if you like more technique,
26:03well, obviously you're going to try to focus more on Corona.
26:06Do you like the pressure?
26:08Who's going forward?
26:09You're going to go with Benitez.
26:10So, I'm telling you,
26:11this result is a reserved prognosis.
26:14Something that's going to unify the criteria,
26:16I think, is who landed the most blows.
26:18Yes.
26:19That's the key, right?
26:21It's not so much about proposing,
26:22but if most of the fans,
26:24then it doesn't work.
26:26So, I think the final rubric
26:28is going to be exactly that,
26:29who landed the most blows at this moment.
26:33At this moment.
26:34So, well, they're still doing the decision computer.
26:38It's so difficult,
26:39they haven't finished adding yet.
26:40I'll tell you something,
26:41when it takes a long time
26:43to get to a decision,
26:46and maybe they're not getting to the one,
26:50they're not adding well,
26:52and it's not that fast,
26:53there could be a surprise.
26:56Let's go with Lupe Contreras,
26:57he's ready for the decision.
