00:00 Gentlemen, I've already given you both your instructions in the dressing room.
00:03 I'm just going to remind you again, obey my commands at all times, protect yourself at all times.
00:07 Touch them up, touch gloves, back you go. Best of luck to you both. Good luck fellas.
00:10 34 placed 26, 177, 185. Height goes with the sweet pea.
00:21 76, 6, 79 kilograms and both reach 186 centimeters.
00:28 The scene is set. The WBA Oceania Light Heavyweight Championship.
00:33 The scene is set.
00:35 Can you believe and you heard in the opener that Team Okuso are screaming names out like Arta, Bidabiev and also Dmitry Bivol.
00:49 And also Dmitry Bivol.
00:53 Jesus is lighting up early Paula. He's a special talent, an Olympian. But Jesus is digging him in early.
01:00 Team Okuso believe they are ready for the best in the world and any of them at light heavyweight.
01:07 It sounds outlandish but you have got a freak in there tonight.
01:22 As you see supremely confident Paulo. He just looks so comfortable in there.
01:27 You have to be careful, could get caught with one but he's super slick this guy.
01:32 That's his thing, that's his style. He's always comfortable, always hands low, always dropping that head out. Very slick southpaw.
01:40 Don't underestimate though, we've talked about experience a lot tonight.
01:44 He's got 35 wins and 29 by way of KO. Let's not disrespect the Garnon.
01:52 He's got rocked.
01:55 He's going over.
01:57 This is almost done in round number one.
02:02 As I tried to get out the sleeve later for Garnon. He's in a world of trouble.
02:09 He's still on wobbly legs here. I don't think this is going to go on much longer.
02:14 He's hanging in there but he's in big trouble.
02:19 Wherever you're watching in Australia and I'm sure it will be leaked around the world.
02:24 Okuso the sweet pea is ready for anyone.
02:29 Oh big shot. Screaming right hand to the body.
02:34 He has shot the pieces for Garnon.
02:39 Bill Austin is going to be taking a very close look at this even if he does make the 8 count.
02:46 I don't think he wants to continue. Is that enough?
02:50 It's over. It's all over.
02:53 I'll leave it with you boys to wrap up the replay action. I'm getting into the ring.
02:59 What a performance from Sweet Pea. He looks so comfortable as per usual.
03:04 And laid in some big big shots early in round one and got the job done.
03:09 What a performance.
03:11 That's what he wants to do. You want to call out the big names. You've got to have a good performance like that.
03:15 Early stoppage and his opponent just didn't want any bar of that towards the end there.
03:20 Big big left hand.
03:22 Every shot that landed clean was really hurting him there.
03:28 Invested to the body.
03:31 He just finished it off perfect in the end.
03:34 Knew he had it in trouble. Knew he didn't have to take too many risks and finished it off perfectly.
03:38 What a performance.
03:40 Easy nice work. In and out is what we all like to see.
03:43 Get in, get the job done, come out no injuries and on to the next one.
03:48 We're talking about world rankings and this guy is certainly up there now.
03:52 But domestically Connor Wallace had a really impressive performance.
03:56 Only a week or so ago.
03:58 So domestically there's a challenge as well.
04:00 Maybe we can get these two together. That would be a great fight.
04:02 Definitely. I think there's definitely the two best light heavyweights in the country at the moment.
04:07 Both holding high rankings.
04:09 Connor Wallace is quite highly rated with all the sanctioned bodies as well.
04:12 And obviously Sweepey with the WBA.
04:15 That could be a massive fight. That could almost be a title eliminator fight as well.
04:21 Sweepey only seven fights in now as well.
04:24 He's on a really good trajectory at the moment.
04:27 He's doing everything he needs to do.
04:30 As you said both are world ranked.
04:32 But domestically that would be a huge fight.
04:35 Massive fight. Massive night.
04:37 I've known those Spard and Spard previously in the past.
04:39 They've had good competition rounds.
04:41 They're both on the same level.
04:43 Connor Wallace has had a few more fights.
04:45 But both very technical. Both great fighters.
04:48 And Paulo in terms of a package for boxing.
04:52 He's got the boxing ability. He's got the flash. He's got the charisma.
04:56 He doesn't mind saying a few things.
04:58 He's a full package in terms of if you're going to sell this guy or promote him.
05:02 He's going to be an easy sell.
05:04 Definitely. He's got that charisma.
05:05 I think the last fight he went the distance as well.
05:07 So I'm sure he's going to be more than happy to be able to get a nice easy quick knockout.
05:11 First round knockout. It's all what we like to see.
05:14 [Crowd noise]
05:32 Tell you what, he's always got the flashy trunks.
05:34 Every time he steps in the ring he's always got some pretty flamboyant trunks on.
05:38 Well, when you can fight like that, you can wear whatever you like.
05:44 He's a star to make in this kid.
05:47 Hopefully his trajectory continues.
05:50 It's been a great start. 7-0.
05:52 Yes, it's a big fight domestically.
05:55 But he's on the world stage this kid.
05:57 And he could be anything.
05:59 Definitely. It comes down to a numbers game half the time as well.
06:02 You've just got to get your numbers up.
06:04 Make sure you get plenty of fights on your belt before the bigger guys start looking at you.
06:07 But with performances like that, a couple more good fights, good knockouts like that,
06:11 and you're right up there.
06:13 [Crowd noise]
06:19 Time to make this one official.
06:21 The end comes. 2 minutes and 17 seconds into the very first round.
06:26 Your referee, Phil Austin, calling a stop to this contest.
06:29 The victory by TKO.
06:32 Two in favor of your winner and full WBA Oceania Light Heavyweight Champion,
06:40 Blue Corner, Paolo "Sweet Pea" Alcuso.
06:51 [Crowd noise]
07:03 I'm going to duck around here.
