00:00All right, gentlemen, you received the instructions in the dressing room, know what I expect,
00:04good, clean fight.
00:05Legal punches here for you, legal punches here for you.
00:08Touch gloves, good to both of you.
00:13Bernardo Osuna alongside Mark Kregel, here inside the Palms Casino and Resort.
00:18Javier Samarron, Little Red, and if you have that moniker, you better know how to fight
00:22because there was once a bantamweight champion named Danny Little Red Lopez, he used to fight
00:28out at the Olympic Auditorium, who made a great name for himself.
00:32One of the most respected nicknames, particularly in L.A. circles, on the West Coast, there
00:37is Danny Little Red Lopez.
00:39Hey, you sound pretty good, nice to have you back, man.
00:42It's good to be back.
00:44And you see already the southpaw, Samarron, coming in with a short right hand as Bracamontes
00:48tries to attack.
00:50El Chamuco means the boogeyman, so we'll see if Bracamontes can beat Samarron's boogeyman
00:55as he's undefeated in eight professional fights, Bracamontes, he has got a draw and
01:01a loss in his ledger in 11 fights.
01:05Fourth, fifth time fighting here in the United States after seven fights in Mexico for the
01:09man in pink.
01:10This is still the kind of fight you don't often see, at least on paper, opening up a
01:15card, an 8-0 kid against a 9-1-1 kid.
01:20Usually you see more lopsided records this kind of a card.
01:25Little Red came up with Javier Martinez, who we last saw here against Troy Isley a few
01:31weeks ago.
01:32You see the quick hands of Bracamontes coming forward out of Santa Ana, California.
01:39He's another Dave McWhorter fighter out of Milwaukee, won a national title.
01:47It's one of McWhorter's metrics for signing guys, they win national titles young.
01:54He was originally trained by Angel Villarreal before moving out to Oxnard, or actually Riverside,
01:58California for the RGBA Academy, gets elite sparring there.
02:03You see the short left hand from Samarron, who has the reach advantage here, two inches
02:10in reach, but he likes to get inside and brawl, as does Bracamontes, who's willing to oblige.
02:18Suffer cut there from Bracamontes.
02:25Little Red likes coming forward.
02:28You know, he's tall, he might want to bend those legs a little bit.
02:31Would make sense, and you see the quick hands of Bracamontes, who says, I'm gonna go right
02:35up the middle, with a three-punch combination.
02:44Straight left hand there from Samarron, Little Red.
02:48Not using his reach, he wants to be tete-a-tete, head-to-head, right in the middle of the ring.
02:53He certainly has that Robert Garcia Boxing Academy character, but he's not taking a step back.
03:02I don't think it's allowed at the RGBA.
03:05Ooh, nice uppercut down the middle from Samarron, gets caught by an overhand right, countered
03:10by Bracamontes.
03:11This is an interesting fight.
03:12How often do we get the first fight of the night, maybe the highlight?
03:18See, you usually get the call, the stinkers, today you got a good one.
03:23You get the warm-up, the seat for two.
03:25What did we get last time out, like a 40-second knockout?
03:27Nice uppercut.
03:28Ooh, that right hook, too, from Samarron.
03:32Things heating up early here in Las Vegas.
03:42Robert Garcia and Son with the instructions.
03:48Deep breath, nice and relaxed.
03:49Just because you didn't feel his power doesn't mean you got to just go out and let him keep
03:52throwing.
03:53You got to start with a jab.
03:54You have a long jab, so keep using that jab.
03:56Double it up, jab, step back, jab again, you know, fucking win the fight.
04:00Boom, and then give me those little uppercuts down the middle.
04:02Okay, boom, boom, boom, boom.
04:04Right here, behind, or behind the elbow, too.
04:06Or behind the gloves, too.
04:08When he's stepping in, you're just like leaning back, standing straight up.
04:12Step back, catch him as he's coming in.
04:14Step back, and that left uppercut right here to the center of the stomach, okay?
04:17You can't just be standing up tall, just letting him throw, okay?
04:19Even though he's not landing a lot of the shots, he's staying busy.
04:21They can give him the round because of that, right?
04:23Yeah, because that was still a close round, all right?
04:25So don't get careless, all right?
04:27Let's go.
04:30Mark, so Junior is seeing the exact same thing you're seeing.
04:33And you see the boxing acumen of the third generation of the Garcias.
04:38Eduardo Garcia, the grandfather, Robert Garcia, the father, and now Robert Garcia, Jr.
04:43in that corner.
04:44Pita, yes.
04:45Pita's real.
04:46Look, I like what they both said to him.
04:49This is a young fighter.
04:51He's out here.
04:52He wants to show himself.
04:54And some of that adrenaline and some of that ambition can work against you.
04:59You know, Robert told him, hey, you've got length.
05:02Jab a little bit.
05:03Use it.
05:04Then come in.
05:05I really like both instructions.
05:06Pita said, don't stand so straight up, man.
05:10Bend your knees a little bit.
05:12There are levels to this.
05:14Use them.
05:15Straight right from Bracamontes.
05:17Best shot against a southpaw.
05:20And there you see him landed quickly as Samarron opened up.
05:25And they also gave him the right take, the close round.
05:28Yes.
05:29Don't think you got this one.
05:31So great work over there in the red corner for Samarron.
05:35Gets elite instructions from father and son.
05:38Well, Bracamonte won the board job contest.
05:41He got those, like, pink slippers with the furry thing.
05:44You've got to be bad to wear those.
05:48You couldn't wear those either.
05:50The only guy who would get away with that is Timothy Bradley.
05:57I get the sense that Samarron, what he really wants to do, above all,
06:02is just give me that uppercut, please.
06:04I don't care what I've got to do to get in there.
06:06Just give me that uppercut.
06:07And that's a mistake.
06:08He's exposing himself to that right hand that Bracamonte throws so well,
06:12whether it be in a straight fashion, in a right hook, overhand.
06:15He's just able to land it like he does there to the body.
06:20Double right hook there from Samarron.
06:28Samarron needs to settle down a little bit.
06:30Yeah.
06:31Also, if you notice, it's not just that his legs are straight up.
06:36There's not much bend in his knees.
06:40But they're far apart, and they're on a straight line.
06:43His balance is not the best.
06:48When he wants to, look at that nice jab.
06:51And he follows it up with a combination.
06:53But then, Bracamonte, what does he do?
06:55Punctuates his work with an overhand right.
07:01Little red trying to work at length.
07:03Bracamonte digs to the body with a right.
07:06Nice long left there from Samarron.
07:09Very Emmanuel Navarrete-esque from No Man's Land.
07:14Yeah, but he has that length.
07:17But it was also a great counter.
07:19It was.
07:23I think he's found his range here.
07:25Samarron is finding a distance that works for him.
07:28And you know what it started with?
07:30Working off the jab.
07:33Listening to your corner.
07:35Who would have thought?
07:42Right away, deep breaths.
07:45How do you feel?
07:46Good.
07:47Good condition?
07:48Yeah.
07:49Okay, keep working that distance where you're in reach.
07:52Your jab, your distance right there.
07:55You just take a little step back and counter easy.
07:57Don't get too far, but don't get too close either.
07:59All right?
08:00Keep that jab going.
08:01Jab, hook, left uppercut.
08:03Or left hook, jab, hook, hook, boom.
08:05You know, just keep going down front.
08:07Every point doesn't have to be hard.
08:09He can only find me on the inside.
08:11Every point doesn't have to be hard.
08:12Keep touching, touching, touching.
08:14Keep scoring.
08:15When you take that little step back,
08:16that left hand point right over his head
08:17because he's dipping down.
08:18Instead, switch it for like a short little left hook.
08:22Deep breaths.
08:25Like that.
08:26Remember, keep your mouth shut.
08:29Like that.
08:30Breathe through your nose.
08:34Great work once again over there in the corner.
08:36This time it was Robert Garcia Sr. taking the lead.
08:42Round three of a scheduled six-round fight.
08:46Third fight for Samarron in 2024.
08:48Second fight for Mickey Bracamontes in this year.
08:52Both of Bracamontes' scheduled eight-rounders went the distance.
08:55Today, this is scheduled for six.
08:57You see him trying to close the gap there against Samarron.
09:00He does exactly that.
09:02You know what this looks like?
09:04If Samarron goes on and wins,
09:08this is the kind of fight he's going to look back on and go,
09:11you know, I learned a lot that night.
09:13Bracamontes is here to win, though.
09:15There's nothing written here in the aggressiveness of Bracamontes
09:18when he does get inside.
09:22I'd see Bracamontes again, too.
09:24Ooh, nice left uppercut.
09:25That's been the best punch from Samarron in this entire fight.
09:29When he lands that left uppercut from distance, it's money.
09:34But he's also open to the...
09:36You see, there it goes again.
09:38There's always a right counter from Bracamontes.
09:40Yeah.
09:41And he's very good at landing it.
09:43As good as Samarron is with his left, Bracamontes is just as good with his right.
09:47Nice quick combination there from Samarron.
09:50Dicks to the body with the right.
09:52And he usually has one of those right hands.
09:55Ooh, nice left hook now from Bracamontes.
09:57At the end of a combination.
09:59At the end of a Samarron combination.
10:13Ooh, nice straight left from Samarron.
10:18He let Bracamontes do all the work
10:21and then just met him with a straight left.
10:28Ooh, nice left once again from Samarron.
10:31Finding a home.
10:32And now he gets off the angle.
10:34Off the line.
10:35That's the first one he missed.
10:36First right hand, you know.
10:39Bracamontes looks to be slowing down here in the third round.
10:42Nice body work there from Samarron.
10:44Bracamontes answers in kind.
10:47Now Samarron is slipping, ducking under those right hands.
10:53And he's also delivering the harder shots.
10:56You could see the pendulum turning towards Samarron's direction here in the third round.
11:02He's figured something out about that counter right.
11:09Stop. No punch.
11:10Here we go. Box.
11:16Stop.
11:22Bring it up a little bit.
11:23Let him go. Let him go.
11:24Punch out of there.
11:26Let him go, Mikey.
11:28Bracamontes had a three-week camp over at OC Boxing,
11:31but he's been training since March.
11:35Three weeks preparing for this southpaw named Javier Samarron.
11:39Let's listen in now to Victor Marin in Bracamontes' corner.
11:44You have to work a little bit more inside, okay?
11:50How are you feeling?
11:51Good.
11:54From this round on, you have to pick it up, pick it up, pick it up.
11:58Right now, he's kind of pushing you down.
12:01He's just aiming for his head, okay?
12:04He sees it coming.
12:05I need you to switch it up, okay?
12:07How are you feeling?
12:08Good.
12:09I think you're going 2-1 right now, okay?
12:122-1?
12:132-1.
12:15You can't give him this shit, okay?
12:17That's what you work for, okay?
12:20Don't listen to any fucking—
12:24Head me a little more.
12:26Don't lunge with that right hand from the outside too far.
12:30Dose of truth from Victor Marin saying it's 2-1 right now,
12:34but for me, he's like, no.
12:36For him, you've got to get your hands going.
12:39I thought that Victor Marin gave him the right advice.
12:42You know, he's figured out something about that right hand.
12:44You're going to have to mix it up.
12:49And Samarron's figured out how to deliver that left hand
12:53without being there for the counter right of
12:55Lacamontes here over the last two rounds.
13:01A lot of it has to do with keeping him at bay with that jab.
13:05As soon as he got a handle on the distance,
13:07it was a different fight.
13:12And you can also see the way that Samarron moves,
13:15the way he catches shots,
13:17the way he's learned to deal with that right hand.
13:19You can see evidence of that pedigree.
13:21Once he figured out the distance, the fight changed.
13:25Six-time Wisconsin State amateur champion,
13:27golden glove champ six times in Wisconsin,
13:30and a junior Olympic champion,
13:32and a warning for Mikey Bracamontes here.
13:35As they go behind the referee,
13:39get tangled up and you see Bracamontes stepping on
13:42the lead foot of Samarron here.
13:44He tries to take advantage of that.
13:52Well, we know Bracamontes is listening to his corner
13:54because he's all in right now.
13:56He's rushing, picking up the pace.
13:58Nice right hand.
14:02Going toe-to-toe here,
14:04as Bracamontes lands a good combination.
14:07A lot of it lands on the gloves and the forearms of Samarron.
14:11Ooh, nice left uppercut from Samarron.
14:14You hear the crowd yelling,
14:15Javi, Javi.
14:22You see Samarron setting up angles here,
14:24misses with that shot,
14:25but there's that long-range shot from Samarron,
14:30and another right hook from range.
14:32Does the Canelo faint there?
14:35This is a really worthy fight for a first card tonight,
14:38for a first fight of the card.
14:48Whoever loses right now,
14:50I would presume it's Bracamontes.
14:52I'd like to see him again.
14:53Yeah, absolutely.
14:54You see Bracamontes coming forward here.
14:57Nice right uppercut representing Santa Ana, California.
15:01OC, nice body work from Bracamontes.
15:07Good feint there from Samarron,
15:08freezes Bracamontes and then goes after him.
15:12You get the feeling for the rest of his career,
15:16for Samarron,
15:17he's going to have to figure out the right balance
15:19of distance and aggression.
15:21Yes, absolutely.
15:22Defensively responsible here,
15:25but he just gives up his size advantage too easily.
15:29And that's what happens when you want to stand toe-to-toe,
15:31Bracamontes lands a combination
15:33and you put yourself in harm's way,
15:35which makes for fun fights.
15:52Got to be careful there, alright?
15:55Stepping around him, using your jab, using feints,
15:57keeping him at a distance, okay?
15:58Right there at the end, you stood,
15:59like the last 30 seconds,
16:00you did it a few times where you stood right in front of him
16:02and let him throw his combinations
16:03and he couldn't stall the round like that, right?
16:04He didn't let him.
16:05Yeah, but still, he's throwing.
16:07He's still throwing.
16:08Still throwing.
16:09Alright, so keep that jab, keep that jab going.
16:11Just like you started, finish like that.
16:13Especially the last 10 seconds,
16:15you finish up with a good combination.
16:17Let's go, take a deep breath.
16:18Two rounds to go, alright?
16:19Yes, sir.
16:20Let's go.
16:21That's an interesting corner there
16:23because they rarely speak over each other.
16:26As soon as Robert,
16:28Dad Robert is finished,
16:30Pita starts and they make different points.
16:32They don't make the same point
16:33and they don't, unlike me, speak too long.
16:39Efficient communication over there
16:41in both corners, to be honest.
16:43From what we've seen here
16:45in the first four rounds of this fight,
16:46you see Samarron coming out at range
16:48behind that jab.
16:50Where he's at his best.
16:54Fracamontes trying to get inside
16:55where he does his best work.
16:59And you heard
17:01what Robert said to him.
17:03Just because he scored a punch
17:04don't mean he can hang out and celebrate.
17:07Absolutely.
17:08He could have stolen that round
17:09with that sequence at the end.
17:10There were two or three shots
17:11right on his chin.
17:15There's that straight left from Samarron.
17:18Catches.
17:19Fracamontes committing on the inside.
17:25You know, conversely,
17:27if Fracamontes had a jab,
17:29this could be a different fight.
17:30Yeah, it's also that
17:31two-inch disadvantage in reach.
17:33Yeah, but there are ways to overcome that.
17:36He favors that right hand
17:39so much.
17:41You saw him switch self on
17:42and then Samarron has a straight left.
17:44That was the best shot of the night for him.
17:48He switched, but he was squared up.
17:50Not fully committed to the southpaw stance.
17:52Yeah.
17:54He got caught in the middle.
17:56But I think he was also frustrated
17:58because he couldn't do anything
18:00with the lead hand.
18:01And even now,
18:02back in the orthodox stance,
18:08he's not nearly as effective
18:10with the lead hand as he is with the right.
18:13And that's his problem.
18:14He's got a good power shot,
18:16but no setup for it.
18:19But that lead hand,
18:21he'll kind of hook with it,
18:22corkscrew with it,
18:23but nothing's really thrown with power.
18:27It's too much of a disadvantage.
18:29You see how that left is?
18:30Absolutely.
18:33He turns right over,
18:34but the left needs a lot of work.
18:37Yeah.
18:38And you don't have to score with everything,
18:40but you...
18:41But you got to be effective.
18:43It's a defensive tool, too.
18:44Yeah, you see now,
18:45Samarron really doing good work
18:47maintaining the range,
18:48making Bracamontes pay every time
18:50he wants to get inside.
18:53Nice right uppercut from Samarron.
18:57And one of the...
19:01One of the problems
19:02is because that lead hand is kind of weak,
19:04you see he can check hook.
19:07And move around to his right.
19:10Ooh, nice short right hand
19:11once again from Samarron.
19:13Put some mustard on that.
19:23No, no, no.
19:24Don't wrestle.
19:25Here we go.
19:26Box.
19:27Ten seconds.
19:28Samarron's most dominant round here
19:30in the fifth against Bracamontes,
19:32who continues to come forward.
19:33But Samarron...
19:35Victor Marin with instructions.
19:36You feelin' that pressure, man?
19:38Ladies and gentlemen,
19:39here inside the Pearl Concert Theater,
19:41we go to the sixth and final round.
19:45You know what that's?
19:46Final round?
19:47Yeah.
19:48We will, we will, we will.
19:49We will.
19:50We will.
19:51Come on.
19:54You're picking him up?
19:55Yeah.
19:56You're picking him up?
19:57Yeah.
19:58You're picking him up?
19:59Yeah.
20:00You're picking him up?
20:01Yeah.
20:02You're picking him up?
20:03Yeah.
20:04We need this last round.
20:05Don't fuckin' give it to him.
20:07Last round.
20:08Don't give it to him, man.
20:09I want you fuckin' throwing everything.
20:12If you see that you hurt him,
20:13stay on him, stay on him, stay on him.
20:15All right?
20:16Let's go.
20:17Win this round.
20:18Win this fuckin' round.
20:19All right?
20:20Let's go.
20:25Let's go.
20:26Let's do this fuckin' round, all right?
20:27Gotta get this round.
20:34Good exchanges there in the last round, Mark.
20:38Tough guys.
20:39Tough guys.
20:40Good job.
20:41Two guys with pretty good chins.
20:42Box.
20:43I'm really looking forward,
20:45because I'm my own,
20:46what this guy can become a year,
20:48two years,
20:49three years down the line.
20:50Look at his frame, how big he is.
20:53Yeah, fighting here at junior,
20:55lightweight.
20:56That's a lot of fighter to fit into above 30.
21:00I'm looking at his frame,
21:01I'm like,
21:02he might be able to make 26.
21:04Another guy who we're gonna see today,
21:05Gio La Roca.
21:08Gonzalez is a fighter
21:09who wants the campaign at 26,
21:11but tonight he's fighting at 130 pounds,
21:13trained by Eddie Reynoso.
21:14And here you see
21:15Samarron with the quick stop and pop one-two.
21:21Stop!
21:22Step back, here we go.
21:23Box.
21:27Nice jab.
21:28Nice jab from Samarron.
21:34Making Bracamontes
21:36think before he commits,
21:37because there's something coming at him
21:39as he takes a step forward.
21:42Stop!
21:44Here we go, box.
21:45He just gets confidence in that jab,
21:47starts working off that jab,
21:49drains out a couple things,
21:50I think, with his feet.
21:53This is a really promising kid.
21:55Box.
21:59He does cross his feet sometimes, too.
22:01Yeah, and you know what,
22:02he got elite sparring for this fight.
22:04Two guys you're gonna see on this card,
22:06Raymond Murataya, the new headliner,
22:08and Ruben Villa,
22:09the former world title challenger
22:11who's now ranked in the top four
22:15in three of the four sanctioning bodies
22:18at 126 pounds.
22:20Nice quick work there from Samarron.
22:23Bracamontes fires back.
22:26Nice straight left there from Samarron.
22:34The jab is setting up a lot of the work here
22:36in the final round for Samarron.
22:38He's also facing almost a one-armed fighter.
22:41I don't know why, you know,
22:42there's no jab there, there's nothing
22:44on the lead hand, but...
22:47And a fighter who seems fatigued.
22:49Well, he's gotten smacked around,
22:51but his default shot is just throwing
22:53that right hand.
22:54No punch, no punch.
22:55Atta boy, here we go.
22:56And especially a guy with this kind of pedigree,
22:58you're gonna throw one hand at me,
22:59I'm gonna learn to deal with it.
23:01Stop, no punch.
23:02Box, hands up.
23:03What do the greats do?
23:04Take away your best weapon?
23:06Mm-hmm.
23:07That's what Bracamontes is dealing with here
23:09with Samarron.
23:10Unfortunately, Bracamontes,
23:11it's really been his only weapon,
23:12so it's been really good.
23:13He's game.
23:14You know, I'd love to see what he could do
23:15with a little bit of a jab.
23:24Samarron had three knockouts
23:26in his first four professional fights.
23:28One in his last four.
23:30Looks like it'll be one over his last five fights.
23:34But he learned something invaluable tonight.
23:36He was tested.
23:37Absolutely.
23:38Bracamontes brought the best out of Javier Samarron.
23:41And there you see,
23:43mama's happy, everybody's happy.
23:50Real talent.
23:52Real talent
23:54in a really interesting division.
23:57And you know he's going to get elite sparring
24:00in the crucible of Robert Garcia Boxing Academy.
24:04Yeah, we talked about the fact
24:05he sparred Raymond Murataya for this fight,
24:07Ruben Villa for this fight.
24:09So the pedigree's there,
24:11the opportunities for growth are gonna be there
24:13for El Guerito Lil Red.
24:17A good start for Bracamontes.
24:19There we go with that right hand.
24:23Jab.
24:24He loves going to that body.
24:26You could see that.
24:27He looks like a Robert Garcia fighter there.
24:33That was the best left hand
24:36Bracamontes landed all night.
24:38But then he had to take the vicious left uppercut
24:41from Javier Samarron.
24:43And there's another left,
24:44so he was a one-handed fighter down the stretch.
24:47It was a one-handed fighter down the stretch,
24:49but listen,
24:50what proved the difference
24:52or allowed Zamayon to figure out this fight
24:55was the jab, it gave him his distance,
24:57and ultimately Bracamontes had no answer for that.
25:00No jab, no way to solve the distance.
25:02All right, cooler mustache.
25:04Samarron or Mark Chinook?
25:06Well, he has a decision at least.
25:08Ladies and gentlemen,
25:09after six years in the ring,
25:11ladies and gentlemen,
25:12after six rounds here inside the Pearl Concert Theater
25:15at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas,
25:17we go to the judges' scorecards
25:19for the official decision.
25:21Max DeLuca, David Hudson, and Ricardo Ocasio
25:25all have it 59-55
25:27for your winner by unanimous decision,
25:31Javier Little Red Samarron!
25:37All right, so Samarron gets his ninth professional
25:40victory, he does it here in Las Vegas,
25:43and the sky is the limit for Team Javi
25:46and that young man out there
25:47at the Robert Garcia Boxing Academy.
