00:00through the final instructions in the dressing room and you know i expect a clean fight remember
00:04to obey my commands at all times above all protect yourselves at all times 12 rounds touch gloves
00:16almost a moment of respect between the two of them
00:20as we get set for battle here but it could be sparky
00:24and here we go for the british and commonwealth bantamweight titles
00:31ashley lane against andrew kane kane has seen destined for a night like this for a very long
00:36time along a long and rocky road few have forecast that ashley lane would end up being in this
00:44position to defend these titles but he loves everything about being the champion and he has
00:49no intention of letting go much like the events at the press conference on thursday when kane
00:59greeted lane warmly by the throat when they faced each other off it was a bit more ordered
01:05at the weigh-in yesterday lane felt he won that little showdown
01:09by keeping composed and calm but who goes to work first here
01:15is the champion poor but he's in against a very explosive challenger in andrew kane
01:22and looking at this clock one you probably feel that fashion lane can get through the first three
01:29or four rounds then he'll have a better chance but that's that's going to be difficult because kane
01:34is very explosive early on and will look for an early stoppage so how does ashley lane go about
01:40it does he get up close and try and stifle the work of andrew kane and take the obvious
01:45here and there or does he stay on the outside at this stage it looks like he's taking the contest
01:50to kane and straight away he walks on to a couple of shots so i can understand what he's doing here
01:57in terms of just trying to close kane down and trying to make sure he doesn't get the power in
02:02his punches but he's taking a few risks by doing that he is richie others have come up really short
02:09trying to do that kind of thing against kane 10 stoppage wins in the 11 victories
02:19i think if anything he's just done what i was about to say he's got to double up that jab
02:24as ashley lane and try and get close up to kane if he that's what he decides to do he can't afford
02:30for a slow single jab because we know kane is very quick with his reactions that wasn't a bad
02:35shot there from the champion on the inside of the right uppercut he can't afford a slow jab
02:40kane's quick off the mark quick reactions and explosive in doing that
02:54decent shots landed almost simultaneously there
02:59at the same time largely controlling the middle of the ring
03:17so call straight away you probably need to see a little bit more head movement from
03:20ashley lane as he's going forward edging forward slowly but probably needs to move
03:25the head a little bit more because he's starting to walk onto shots
03:34lotto land casino sponsors boxing on tnt sports
03:43technology is all around but technology alone
03:46is not enough for me the drive is everything all electric lexus rz

03:58lotto land casino sponsors boxing on tnt sports
04:12the guiding light in one of the most successful gyms in the country right now he's the man who
04:18has guided andrew kane as part of this golden generation from liverpool we know the story of
04:25nicky ball and there's bradley strand soon hoping to make his mark as well but this is the big night
04:31that they've worked so long for with kane
04:36and richie the very last shot of that first round was that came right uppercut
04:41lane got out of the way of it but with lane trying to lay on his man a little bit then
04:47tries it again right there kane is he risking being caught by one he's taking massive risks
04:52here but he's just trying to he's trying to make sure that um that kane doesn't get the leverage in
05:00his shots like a punch like that mid-range you see kane he's very explosive so what k what lane
05:06he's trying to do get up close so he doesn't get the leverage in those mid-range shots and tries
05:11to shorten it up it becomes a more even fight if he's in really close quarters but it is taking a
05:18risk and there's a real art to that type of boxing for head movements very important explosive bursts
05:25and then little little movements with the head to avoid what's coming back it's it's really difficult
05:30to do it you've got to be very skillful indeed on the inside to be successful richie you see
05:34my information is that's exactly what they've tried to work on with lane to give kane problems
05:40that he's not really encountered very much when he's been blowing the opponents out largely on
05:45the way up and and they believe that there's more to the story of the defeat against baluto
05:50he was a very capable operator indeed yeah i agree paul the only problem you've got is with lane
05:57star coming forward kane will soon start to realize that he's got a chance to catch him as he's coming
06:03forward especially with that jab it's a simple shot and another one to the body look so he'll
06:08pick away that's why the head movement's important from lane as he's going forward because kane will
06:13start to pick him off angles are everything basically if you are lane no point staying in
06:22the lane you've got to work around it and i can see what he's trying to do but richie says
06:28such a high tariff on fighting like this but if he pulls it off it's the work of a proper champion
06:33richie yes it is but he just caught call with a terrific left up to the body it hurt him as well
06:37there was just a slight pause in his work he went back a little bit he felt that one
06:42a cracking punch downstairs from kane
06:49kane settling very nicely indeed rhythmic controlled left hook that time almost in reverse
06:57gear if you please another of his specialities it's a bit early in the show for that one folks
07:02but he got away with it and lane seeking to close the gap and go to work pinning kane on the ropes
07:11late in this second round
07:18and indicated perhaps that the head has been a little bit reckless
07:36lotto land casino sponsors boxing on tnt sports
07:42oh is that the double cheeseburger save a meal deal from mcdonald's only 479
08:00lotto land casino sponsors boxing on tnt sports
08:12a competitive round i thought paul both boxers had success little right up on the inside from
08:17kane there that was a super shot for lashley lane there's that left hook that was the best shot of
08:22the round you can look at the tension sort of in his body where he really felt that i was a belter
08:28nonetheless the 33 year old kane did take it well in a lane i should say took it well enough richie
08:34not to be deterred trying to close the range right in the cane corner early in this round and
08:40it's come what may he's going to try to apply these tactics yeah taking big risks and getting
08:46caught on the inside is um lane i actually think that kane probably suits this type of boxing
08:55anyway this is what he wants but nevertheless actually lane is having a little bit of success
09:01here and there but the sharpness i think and the quality and the punching probably comes from kane
09:06picking his punches a little bit better than the champion so far that is the case i think the
09:13white and gold tracks of the champion lane
09:18a nod to where it all started for him the far cotton amateur boxing club
09:24in northampton and where would he be in his life without it and the difference it made in his life
09:30two punches on the inside that kane is having success with paul it's a little ride to but
09:38also the left hook but to the body and the head that right hand of ashley lane has got to be kept
09:44high because he keeps getting caught with this short little left hook on the inside
09:49and he won't be able to keep taking those crisp crisp shots like that
09:54oh
09:56work right up close is quite impressive here i have to say that from lane
10:05those punches are landing right above us and there is plenty of every single shot nice right hook
10:11once and twice from kane lane undeterred fireplay to lane he's really going for it here and
10:19just the quality and the punch and he's better from kane and there's a really impressive little
10:24moment in there from kane in terms of blocking shots with the elbows to the body and then
10:29returning with a left hook to the chin superb work that was on the inside from kane he looks
10:35right on his a-game on this the biggest night and some really good work underneath as well but
10:39there's a complete conviction richie in the way that lane is going about this like he will not be
10:44deterred like a true champion isn't he he's putting everything into it oh he gets caught
10:50again now he's got to move the head in front of this man the sharper and the heavier handed early
10:58on tonight andrew kane as the record suggested would be the case the record for ashley lane in
11:06and out of the ring is prevailing whatever the odds against him he's done it in his life and
11:10he's done it in his boxing and he rather likes being a champion even if it was against all the
11:17odds he surprised us the way he did it against chris burke coming out fast and stopping burke
11:22by the halfway point in that championship fight he is full of surprises and he remains full of belief
11:28people
11:35lotto land casino sponsors boxing on tnt sports
11:44all motorpoint cars are subjected to the most rigorous of checks
11:47come with a warranty and a price match promise there's no car like a motorpoint car
11:59lotto land casino sponsors boxing on tnt sports
12:12impressive work from kane i thought on the inside there blocking the shots and then coming back
12:17lovely right hand it was actually ashley lane coming forward but he was getting cool with
12:21the better quality punches on the inside kane very cleverly just blocking shots and then returning fire
12:28some high quality work early on from andrew kane in the lane corner between the round
12:34they said slow down the tactics will work if you slow down and give yourself the time
12:39to deliver once you get in at close quarters let's see if he eats the message maybe settling
12:44a little bit now richie went through the first quarter of it such tension on a night like this
12:48of course see in these situations paul the end movement's got to be instinctive yeah you work
12:54with a couple of double jabs to get forward but then you've got to know when to pause
12:58instinctively and then move the head because something's coming back you're in punching range
13:03you're good for sure flush on the chin you've got to move the head occasionally on the inside
13:09you can't just stand there and think you're going to hit the target with every shot your throat
13:16a couple more rounds of this with these devastating left and right uppercuts
13:20and hooks at short range from the all-powerful fists of kane and surely lane will then be asked
13:26a big question as to whether he can keep on believing or whether it might be time for a plan b
13:31oh
13:49okay he's in danger of really pulling lane apart here
13:54a pause in the action the gun shield very timely indeed from ashley lane's point of view the skill
14:00there for managing came in really superb he threw out a jet it looked like a jab and he just changed
14:05the angle of the punch and turned it around the side it was like a long hook if anything
14:10and it totally caught after laying off guard cracking boxing that was
14:15every shot he lands threatens to be the one to win in the british economy world titles he's
14:22so impressive yes he is at the same time ashley lane
14:26we've said what a true champion he is he's took some good shots but still keeps coming forward
14:35right again on the inside
14:37keeps coming forward
14:41right again on the inside catches kane and there's the lift of all
14:47the pressure builds and builds through this fourth round
14:55And there's the confidence from Kane actually switching to Southwark 4, he's enjoying this contest up to now.
15:06Great skills coming from him, very dogged, determined Ashley Lane in front of him, trying to hang on to his British title.
15:15Nonetheless, in that lane corner they do look concerned, they're looking at each other in the corner as if to say do we need to change plan here.
15:25It seems as though all these exchanges are being bossed by Andrew Kane.
15:41The eye-catching quality shots are coming from the challenger four, no question.
15:47Kane had a right good long stare into the eyes of Lane at the end of the round, a bit like the meeting on Thursday and the meeting on Friday, but Kane must believe he's winning this.
15:57You know, he shook him a few times there, again, I know you're boxing really well, it's just a temptation to go swinging at him, I know you won't, just keep picking up the good ones, you know what I mean, you know, it's easy to it in its own.
16:08Just keep mixing them up to the head and the body, just keep chipping away, placing them well, you know, and you'll go, just keep doing what you're doing okay.
16:15Yeah, good instruction there from Paul Stevenson, literally saying just keep chipping away, but better work off the ropes, waiting for the opportunities.
16:22The left up there was a cracking shot, right uppercut on the inside, so the quality work's coming from Kane, volume most certainly from Ashley Lane and give him 100% for his commitments, but he's just being caught with the better quality shots.
16:38He's been hurt a couple of times, but he's a true champion, that lad.
16:40He's got all the determination in the world, Richie, but the quality is on display from the other corner so far.
16:52Oh, and again Paul, what a left up that was, Ashley Lane expecting the chap to come out, and it was a left up.
17:03It's breathtaking stuff there from Andrew Kane, and he bats all the way across, spinning legs, he's over, and he's in very deep trouble, Ashley Lane the champion, he's worked all his life to become the champion, he'll do whatever he can to get up and go on, but he's going to walk right back into the line of fire.
17:22Big moments now, both these boxers, is Kane just going to go for it here, Ashley Lane still not recovered Paul, oh that's a cracking shot downstairs from him.
17:31Right now he cannot miss him, and Lane is not throwing back, that's the problem, I don't believe his head is properly cleared for understandable reasons, and the legs only slowly returning to operation, but only slowly, and it might be too late.
17:47The referee is having a close look here, could be just one shot from Kane.
17:56Keep chipping away they told him in the corner, he's done a bit more than chip away, he's not blocks off Lane in this round, Kevin Parker as Richie said is watching closely, he's poised at all times.
18:06We haven't seen one meaningful shot in this round from the champion.
18:15No, trying to move ahead, trying to move his head, keep out the way, now Kane boxing on the outside with that jab thrown from the hip, oh what a shot.
18:25And underneath, and that will do more damage again, it's over, it is over in the 5th round, we have a new British and Commonwealth Bantamweight champion, his name is Andrew Kane, and he could be headed to the very top, just like his mate Nicky Ball, that was a brilliant victory.
18:46And Ashley Lane of course so determined and so game, walked the wrong path tonight tactically, they share a little moment there, Kane and Ball, but this is Kane's night, forget anybody else.
19:00The Everton Red Triangle story, yet again writ large, their brilliant production line of talent, all guided by Paul Stevenson, nobody is surprised to see it, who's followed Kane's career so far, but he's come out the other side of the defeat by Maluta and the injury and all the question marks, as good as new tonight, if not better Richie.
19:25Great display of boxing wasn't it, inside work from Andrew Kane, actually working off the ropes, you know he demonstrated how he could block shots on the inside, then come back with little left hooks, little right uppercuts, I take my hat off to this fella, this guy's game as they come, his game plan was to get up close and try and stifle the work of Kane, but that was just pure brilliance there from Kane, very fast reactions, it was a slow shot from Ashley Lane, big right hand that came back from Andrew Kane, a tremendous punch, there it was there.
19:55And Ashley Lane then, he's really in trouble here, the champion, and Kane knew it, back in there with a shot that just misses the target, but now left hook to the body and that's the one that really hurt Ashley Lane and that's what put him down, but that right hand for me was exceptional, the timing of it really was superb, and then the left hook that comes up, just finishes the job, there it is there, absolute peach of a punch, a brave champion, but you know this kid is the new champion Paul,
20:24and we take our hat off to him, he's a very good fighter indeed.
20:54Long, long time, the respect is mutual, and Ashley Lane of course has achieved so much, comes up short tonight, the punch stats from Jaber, Richie, I know he threw a lot, but you know after about the second or third round, how many of those 351 meant much from Lane?
21:24Very good at distance and on the inside, exceptional that was.
21:54And new British and Commonwealth Bantamweight Champion, Andrew Kane.
