00:00 [indistinct chatter]
00:03 Okay, guys, watch your head.
00:05 No punching back, no low blow, no holding,
00:07 touch of gloves, and good luck.
00:09 [indistinct chatter]
00:12 [speaking Italian]
00:22 Box!
00:25 [indistinct chatter]
00:29 Well, as you can see straight away,
00:31 Milan, the southpaw,
00:33 leading with his right hand in the black.
00:36 Lopez in the white and gold
00:40 in the orthodox stance,
00:42 leading with his left hand.
00:44 Another southpaw versus orthodox encounter.
00:48 We've seen a few tonight already.
00:50 [indistinct chatter]
00:53 [indistinct chatter]
00:56 Nice left jab off the foot by Lopez.
01:07 [indistinct chatter]
01:22 Milan with an ungainly sporadic attack there.
01:25 Lopez timed that coming.
01:27 One thing Milan is doing is he's maintaining
01:33 a high lead hand, which I believe--
01:35 I've always believed is effective against the Cubans.
01:39 You can't have a low guard against the Cubans.
01:42 They'll give you so much variety.
01:49 [indistinct chatter]
01:52 Very, very sharp one-two there from Lopez.
01:58 Looks like Lopez has a little bit of advantages
02:02 in height and reach, which most Cubans normally do.
02:05 They're picked and selected perfectly
02:09 for their physical attributes.
02:11 It's a system that definitely works,
02:14 as everyone's quite aware.
02:17 [indistinct chatter]
02:20 Milan trying to shut the space down a little bit.
02:23 Not give Lopez so much room
02:25 to get the counterpunches off.
02:27 Lopez switching to the body there with the right hand.
02:39 As does Milan.
02:43 [indistinct chatter]
02:46 A little bit out of distance there,
03:00 a little bit out of reach.
03:02 Lopez with a one-two.
03:04 Not too often you see the Cubans
03:09 throw punches without a lot of distance.
03:12 They throw punches without realizing
03:14 they're going to reach the target.
03:16 Very unusual.
03:18 What you have seen the Cubans do
03:20 is throw one or two punches
03:22 that they know aren't going to meet the mark,
03:24 but they know the third one's going to meet the mark.
03:27 Another Cuban tactic that I've picked up over the years
03:31 by watching so many of them so many times over.
03:34 But I'd have to lean towards Lopez for that first round.
03:38 [indistinct chatter]
03:42 [speaking Spanish]
03:45 [speaking Spanish]
03:55 [speaking Spanish]
04:22 [bell rings]
04:25 [bell rings]
04:36 [indistinct chatter]
04:40 [indistinct chatter]
04:43 [speaking Spanish]
05:03 Break!
05:07 [indistinct chatter]
05:10 Break!
05:22 Stop!
05:34 [indistinct chatter]
05:37 Neither fighter here has found a real foothold
05:48 in this contest yet.
05:50 No one has totally dominated.
05:52 [indistinct chatter]
05:55 Cuban getting up.
05:59 Stern talking to there for the referee for holding.
06:02 [indistinct chatter]
06:05 Oh, nice right hook there
06:11 from Milán on the break.
06:14 Milán has to try and keep his shape
06:24 and find his feet again a little bit,
06:26 or he's going to fall into a bit of a trap here
06:31 that could suit Lopez.
06:33 Despite Lopez still missing some ungainly swings
06:38 and not quite hitting the mark.
06:40 But you do just get the feeling
06:43 that the Cuban is a more physical
06:45 and more controlling fighter.
06:48 He's the guy that may have a little cut over the right eye there.
06:57 That's a very physical, difficult contest
07:00 with neither fighter really finding their feet so far.
07:04 The Cuban having slightly a little bit more success.
07:08 [indistinct chatter]
07:11 Referee being quite hard on Lopez from Cuba.
07:18 Break!
07:22 He needs to punch, which he can.
07:24 He's being smothered by Lopez's work a little bit here.
07:27 Oh, left himself a little bit open there.
07:31 Looking for the left uppercut.
07:33 [bell dings]
07:38 Well, that was quite a rough, tough round there.
07:43 Both men, I think, feeling the penis of this contest
07:46 a little bit already.
07:50 And I think that that is really due to the fact
07:54 that neither has really found their rhythm, their timing.
07:59 And what tends to happen there is that
08:02 it becomes a bit of a battle of attrition.
08:06 Both men can't really get into the rhythm
08:09 and box the way that they would like to box
08:11 because they've kind of lost their way,
08:14 get caught in a lot of clinches,
08:16 trying to find room to punch.
08:18 Takes a lot of physical energy.
08:20 [indistinct chatter]
08:23 [dramatic music]
08:41 ♪ ♪
08:44 [bell dings]
08:51 [indistinct chatter]
08:58 Good start there.
09:00 For the big fellow in black.
09:05 [indistinct chatter]
09:08 [speaking Spanish]
09:16 Stop!
09:18 [indistinct chatter]
09:21 Box!
09:25 [indistinct chatter]
09:29 [grunting]
09:32 Stop!
09:36 Hey, no punches back.
09:38 No punches back.
09:40 Box!
09:43 Stop!
09:52 [speaking Spanish]
09:54 Well, the referee's been busy in this contest, hasn't he?
09:57 There's a lot to do.
09:59 Stop!
10:01 [speaking Spanish]
10:03 [laughing]
10:05 Box!
10:07 Nice jab there.
10:11 Milan.
10:13 And a good left cross as well.
10:15 Having a little bit of success here in the third round, Milan.
10:19 Box.
10:21 Stop!
10:23 [speaking Spanish]
10:25 Always a danger.
10:27 Trying to keep it long with the Cubans, though.
10:30 You have to have a real particular skill set
10:34 to upset them in timing.
10:36 [speaking Spanish]
10:39 Because as any Olympic-style boxer will tell you,
10:43 if they're up against a Cuban,
10:45 and the Cuban finds the rhythm and the timing,
10:48 it becomes a very, very difficult night.
10:51 No matter what you try,
10:54 they're beating in every area.
10:56 [speaking Spanish]
10:58 Box.
11:01 Stop!
11:08 Time, time.
11:10 Well, a little break in the action here
11:21 for the Cubans' cut,
11:22 which he sustained, I think, quite early in round one.
11:25 Not entirely sure whether it was a punch or a head collision,
11:32 but that's been quite a rough, ungainly bounce.
11:34 I wouldn't be surprised if it was a clash of heads.
11:37 The referee again is being harsh on the Cuban.
11:40 Oh, there's a good right hook kick from Milan.
11:44 Very, very well-timed.
11:46 Good shot there.
11:49 And although Lopez doesn't look particularly hot,
11:52 still unsettling.
11:54 I'm sure it was a bit of a flash knockdown.
12:01 He's probably recovered quite quickly.
12:03 And he looks quite steady on his feet,
12:06 which is a really good sign.
12:08 Now, can Milan capitalise on that?
12:11 And it looks like he's really forcing the action.
12:16 Box.
12:18 Hey, hey, hey.
12:24 No punches back.
12:26 No punches back.
12:28 No punches back.
12:30 Well, that could have turned that round,
12:34 and possibly the contest around there.
12:37 That's serious.
12:44 That's certainly worth giving.
12:47 Milan.
12:52 And...
12:56 The Croatian corner, a lot of confidence.
13:04 Very, very rare that we see a Cuban
13:12 on the seat of his pants.
13:14 But that's what happened there,
13:16 even though it was a cuffing Kenny right hook,
13:18 not a flush punch.
13:20 Lopez, maybe even a little bit off balance,
13:27 never quite had his feet under him.
13:30 But listen, it's a knockdown, it counts as a knockdown.
13:34 No matter what way the judges see it,
13:36 that could still be a ten-eight round.

22:30 Ladies and gentlemen, before I announce the winner of the contest,
22:33 please welcome IBA Secretary General Chris Roberts OBE to the ring
22:37 to present a ceremonial certificate to both boxers.
22:40 How did you do that?
22:56 (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
22:58 Now, ladies and gentlemen, please show your appreciation for both boxers.
23:18 (APPLAUSE)
23:24 We go to your judges' scorecards
23:26 where we have a unanimous decision in favour of your winner.
23:30 In the black corner,
23:33 representing Croatia,
23:36 Marco Milan.
23:39 Yes, I really feel Milan deserved that contest.
23:44 He forced the action, he really unsettled the Cuban,
23:48 really took him out of his stride,
23:52 was far busier and the Cuban looked super tired
23:55 at the end of that contest, especially rounds four and five.
23:59 That's a fantastic win from Marco Milan.
24:02 He's awarded, presented by...
