00:00Oh
00:02Hi guys, we'll be coaching the locker room and in the corner you guys know what I speak now
00:06This is gonna be good anything under this is gonna be below anything under this is gonna be low
00:09Check those if you want to not go back in your corner
00:11You heard the crowd erupt for Najee Lopez on a fan support here Pro Box TV. What he's bought this ring several times
00:19Looks great every single time last time out toughest fight of his career against Marcos
00:25Escudero won that one by majority decision
00:29Yeah, I like what something said in the interview said this I've seen holes and I'm gonna take advantage of them and not came out
00:34I'd like that confidence and you saw that right away
00:36He came out with a big straight left hand to the body of Najee Lopez very smart way to start the fight
00:41Also in that tough majority decision, you know Lopez started out with you call it on air an educated lead hands
00:47very good with the lead hand, but
00:49Built up a lead and then had to kind of hold on in the middle
00:52You know as as his opponent came back and could it be that slow start from Sumter waiting on that lead handle a bit?
00:58Is that smart start a little bit slower Pauly?
01:00You know what? It's gonna be a bit of a different type of chess match here with the southpaw
01:04Sometimes lead hand is a bit complicated to use against a southpaw
01:07You know, I believe it can still be used but a lot of fighters a lot of right-handed fighters will typically adjust the way they
01:12Use their lead hand against a southpaw. We'll see how this thing kind of starts devolving
01:16We do see an aggressive Najee Lopez trying to walk down some to
01:20Back him up the ropes here. Now. She's a good ring general controlling the center of the ring
01:23He's he always has the height and reach advantage of his opponents
01:26Very very tall for a weight class. He has get he's got that good educated lead hand, but something he's boxing
01:31Well out of that southpaw stance got a very good tricky left hand that he's been letting loose, you know to the body of Najee
01:37Lopez, I think it's very smart. You'll go the best today here at Pro Box TV. He's been six foot five
01:43He was able to floor him more than once
01:46In route to a knockout. So he has fought fighters who were taller
01:50Look good against them right now. He has to reach advantage. He's using
01:56The body shot
01:58That hurt something, it hurt him bad
02:00It's like they're holding him on real tight there
02:02He was looking for the moment to jump in to do what good John didn't do last fight
02:05Holding him and he felt the shot
02:07Lopez a little trash talk in the ear
02:12Roy Jones rooster there opening his hands up
02:16The physical pressure with these kind of shots combined with that mental pressure too as he's constantly in the face of something
02:23It may start to pay dividends
02:26Someone's trying to try to show his poker face, but man that those body shots stick with you
02:33Fifty seconds left in round number one doing the veteran thing though hanging back trying to get his win back
02:39I think Lopez is being smart
02:41He's felt some of that power on that left hand Sumpter
02:44He throws a tricky left hand so you got to be careful early on
02:47He's still staying in his face
02:49He's keeping it at a proper distance where he stays protected
02:52But at the same time continues to put that mental pressure on Sumpter
02:55So it's something to keep an eye on too
02:57That can also wear down an opponent
02:59The constant mental panic
03:04He times it really well
03:06There's no fat in that punch, he doesn't telegraph at all
03:09He lets that left hand go nice and smooth
03:12And now he's kind of smiling about it
03:17And we'll see if it looks like we're going to get to a round number two
03:21Between these two undefeated fighters
03:26Don't throw punches
03:38You got 20 seconds
03:41And now 20 seconds, so now 15 seconds
03:46And then we're going to get to 20, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6
03:49So when you go for something, right, don't pull out
03:53When you go for something, go all the way in
03:55Hold him, right, just be careful how you disengage
03:57He's still right with you
03:59So when you go in, go all the way in
04:01Stay there
04:03There's some concern in the corner
04:05And here is why, gentlemen
04:07I talk about the educated left hand of Nanji Lopez
04:09But also he's got great fundamentals
04:11One, two, three, basic combination
04:13Jab, right cross over the top
04:15Leaves that left side open
04:17That left hand found its home
04:19Right on the mark, liver shot
04:22Second round
04:26We begin round number two
04:29Nanji Lopez in the blue and white
04:32Sumpter in the white, blue and black
04:36Both fighters undefeated but
04:38Nanji Lopez a huge favorite in this fight
04:40You see why in round number one
04:49There's another thing about Nanji Lopez
04:50Obviously he's got the physical talents
04:52He's got the big amateur background
04:54He's super talented
04:56But he's been building his career on our air
04:58So we've had no easy fights
05:00Every fight, everybody has an opportunity
05:02To do damage, to win rounds
05:04Here we see Sumpter, another undefeated guy
05:06Who's coming on right now
05:08Nanji's a very experienced guy for only having ten fights
05:10One thing about pro boxing
05:12Every opponent comes in, every fighter comes in
05:14With a winning mentality
05:16They have a reason to believe in themselves
05:18This is one of those fights where you hit a guy a couple of times
05:20And he already has that half belief
05:22To begin with, where he just showed up for a check
05:24A couple of good shots and he's like
05:26Alright, I don't need this, this is too difficult
05:28And that's that big left hand again by Sumpter
05:30You mentioned that champ
05:32And that's the thing about Nanji's career
05:34Every single fighter he's fought has believed
05:36They can beat him
05:38And they've showed up with that kind of body language
05:40And it's had to be Nanji who's had to beat it out of them
05:42And Sumpter again is the same kind of guy
05:44He kind of goes into these little peek-a-boo defenses
05:46Like I'm Nanji with hard shots
05:48And can be tricky
05:50Done much better with the power shot in round number two
05:52Big left hand from the southpaw stance
05:54Talk about the fact that Lopez
05:56Does tend to
05:58Extend his punches a little too long
06:00And leave openings for the counter shot
06:02You can see the power in Sumpter's shots
06:04He's explosive
06:06He lands with good power
06:08He's got a big knockout record as well
06:10Seven KO's and his nine wins
06:12One criticism I would have for Sumpter
06:14Is the follow-up
06:16Kind of goes back to ropes
06:18Allows Nanji to kind of dictate where the fight's going to be
06:20For that
06:22What a change here
06:24Sumpter doesn't really take the lead after landing some shots
06:26It's Nanji who's controlling the pace
06:28And that's why he's probably winning the rounds
06:30Even though Sumpter does some good moments
06:32This is where Nanji's really dangerous
06:34When he starts running those numbers and letting his hands go
06:36He's very good at finding openings
06:38Being the boss
06:40Very important
06:42And also you start to let your opponent know
06:44Who's going to be the boss tonight in the ring
06:46It feels comfortable
06:48You are in big trouble
06:50Once your opponent has that understanding
06:52The fight becomes a lot easier
06:54And when you have difficult opponents
06:56It's harder to make them get that understanding
06:58But you know what, Nanji is understanding
07:00That psychological part of the fight
07:02And he's in his maturation process
07:04Last fight out
07:06It was Marco Escudero
07:08That was in February
07:10I was in the stands that night
07:12I was a spectator and that was a great fight
07:14Escudero can fight
07:16He's a talented guy
07:20Going back to the body
07:22And Sumpter trying to punch in between
07:24It seems like Sumpter is a little more aware
07:26Of the power of Nanji
07:28He's taking the punches much better

15:08What a turnaround!
15:10Well, we spoke about what the game plan
15:12Seemed to be for Sumpter, well there it is
15:14Yeah, I mean, I was gonna say
15:16You gotta punch in between those shots
15:18And Lopez is getting comfortable throwing
15:20And as I was saying, he was in my head
15:22Another good left hand
15:24Couple good powerful punches
15:26And again!
15:28Lopez is hurt
15:32Will Sumpter take the initiative
15:34Next round now?
15:36Just what I told you last round
15:38You're throwing an after, you're sitting there
15:40I just told you that
15:42It's alright
15:44You're covering
15:46You're playing too much, you're tapping too much
15:48But how much has been beat now to Sumpter
15:50Up to this point, he's taking a lot of punishment
15:52Leading up to here
15:54You alright?
15:56You haven't ever taken advantage
15:58When you landed a punch all night
16:00And then you're beating the boss of the fight
16:02You land the shot, he goes, no, Lopez goes away
16:04Now it's time, you got the knockdown
16:06You gotta get a Lopez face
16:08Starting from the next round
16:10Let's look at this knockdown here
16:12Shot, right shot
16:14Lopez getting a little too over the front foot
16:16Getting over his skis, so to speak
16:18Throwing those combinations
16:20Nothing's coming back, and then all of a sudden
16:22Sneaky overhand left
16:24It actually wasn't a catch and shoot, it was a counter left hand
16:26Over the top of the missed right hand by Lopez
16:28But Lopez's right hand was down
16:30Make sure you keep your right hand up
16:32And the reason it was down, he didn't bring it back
16:34He threw that right hand kind of lazily
16:36He was doing that earlier, that's how he set up the body shots
16:38He was kind of letting that right hand languish
16:40And then throw the left hook
16:42Let's see if Sumpter looks to boss this round now
16:44You got the momentum you needed with the knockdown
16:46Are you able to carry that momentum
16:48Into the next round
16:50Or are you going to let Lopez get back comfortable
16:52Because remember, Lopez back in the corner
16:54He went back there, Coach Mark Frey asked him how he is
16:56He's like, I'm fine
16:58So let's see
17:00A little off balance
17:02More off balance than Hurt
17:04No, he was rocked
17:06He got hit with some more shots
17:08And we've seen Lopez hurt before
17:10But one thing we know about Lopez
17:12Even when you hurt him, he's still trying to knock you out
17:14He's not going to go there and try and box to a decision
17:16He's still going to try and knock you out
17:18Chris, what do you think about this comparatively passive approach of Sumpter
17:20At the start of this round
17:22I don't like him giving so much time to Lopez
17:24I think if there was a better opportunity
17:26For him to attack early
17:28We'll see how much those legs can get back in the three rounds
17:30Because you never know
17:32Sumpter talked about the history of fighters from Massachusetts
17:34Of course Marvin Hackler among them
17:36Rocky Marciano
17:38Known for their grit and determination
17:42Irish Mickey Ward
17:46Now just waiting
17:48I guess for Lopez to once again
17:50Overextend himself
17:52But kind of waiting for lightning to strike twice
17:54You see the blood from the nose and the mouth of Sumpter
17:56He just threw out a jab that didn't have much snap on it
17:58I'm wondering how much was taken out of him
18:00In these first four rounds
18:02You see Lopez not committing as much now
18:04He's staying at middle range
18:06He's a little more careful
18:08Beautiful timed uppercut
18:10Picking the shot nicely nonetheless
18:12Keeping Sumpter at range, at bay
18:14Sumpter man
18:16He's got that tricky left hand
18:18He's going back to what he was doing in the beginning
18:20Throwing it down low to set up the overhand shot
18:26Lopez certainly fooled me once
18:28Right? Not getting fooled twice
18:30Not getting as you said Chris, over my skis again
18:34The blood out of the mouth of Steve Sumpter
18:36So far in round number five
18:38Hasn't really pressed the initiative
18:40Or tried to see if the cobwebs are fully out
18:42When it comes to Lopez
18:44That's not how he had success
18:46It wasn't from pushing, it was from countering
18:48And now like you said champ
18:50Najee's not committing as much as he was
18:52Yeah he's a few inches back further
18:54Just a little bit
18:56He needs to be a little bit more away
18:58See that's why he's being away
19:00If he was close as he was last round
19:02That left hand would hit him again
19:04Good uppercut at the inside from Lopez
19:06The missed left hand by Sumpter is exactly why
19:08Lopez isn't staying as close as he was last round
19:10There's a little sharp left hand that lands
19:12But not with much weight behind it
19:14Looking for adjustments
19:16And Lopez right now making the adjustments
19:18After being hurt in round number four
19:20He is back in the driver's seat
19:22Of this fight
19:52Next round I got you
19:54And that right hand gotta be here
19:56He's backing up
19:58Back to the corner
20:00Najee Lopez
20:02I'm in this corner for a reason
20:04But that should have never happened
20:06Come on man let's lock in
20:08Let's pop the jab
20:10Shoot that
20:12You gotta get low, let him punch down low
20:14Come up high
20:16Let's go
20:18Let's go
20:20Talking to young fighters undefeated
20:22Trying to convince them that
20:24Hey follow my strategy
20:26Don't follow always what you think you should do
20:28There's a reason this corner man said I'm in the corner
20:30Round number six
20:32Scheduled for eight
20:34Najee Lopez in the white, blue and gold
20:36Steve Sumpter in the white
20:38Blue and black
20:40Sumpter from that southpaw stance
20:42Getting a knockdown in round number four
20:44Round number five
20:46It's like Lopez back in his comfort zone
20:48Yeah other than the knockdown it's been all Lopez
20:50Very dominant
20:52Controlling from the middle distance
20:54Whatever he's been able to pin something along the ropes
20:58Sumpter's throwing some mustard behind those left hands
21:00He can punch man you can see it
21:02Gotta set it up a little better though
21:04You caught Lopez leaning in when he got the knockdown
21:06But if he wants to land a lead
21:08He's gonna have to disguise it a little bit
21:10He's throwing it like he's throwing a baseball
21:12Sumpter's corner saying go low
21:14And set up that shot
21:16Lopez is gonna see those
21:18That's what he said in his corner
21:20I can see those shots coming don't worry coach
21:22Oh good body shot again
21:24Sumpter's coming in about his second entrance
21:26Lopez knows how to use that little double left hand short
21:28Double jab right hand hook to the body
21:30Disguise the entrance with those three double jabs
21:36Sumpter's an explosive guy
21:38He's got some hand speed
21:40I'd like to see him busier
21:44You see why he's undefeated up to this point
21:46He's needed more tonight
21:50That hasn't been in his playbook
21:54Naji just has a much deeper toolbox
21:58I wonder if there was a prop bag for a Sumpter knockdown
22:00Of Lopez
22:02We talked about this
22:04It would have been a blind bag
22:07You can see the odds in the beginning
22:09Oh good left hand
22:11His 4,000th favorite was Lopez
22:13Plus 1,400
22:15For Sumpter
22:17Which was a bit harsh I believe
22:19Sumpter showed up to win
22:21Especially because we've seen Lopez hurt in the past
22:23I tell you man I notice when you make competitive fights
22:25The odds makers get confused
22:27Boxing spoils them so much
22:29Even with the Riyadh fights
22:31A lot of upsets
22:33The boxing odds makers have been so spoiled
22:36All of a sudden when you've got an elbow to make in competitive fights
22:38They're thrown off all over the place
22:40Not used to working for a living
22:42Are boxing odds makers
22:44Lopez going to work in the corner
22:46On Steve Sumpter
22:50Remember this is where Sumpter had success in round 4
22:52Lopez got aggressive
22:54Sumpter's shown some good durability
22:56He's taken some heavy shots
22:58Lopez definitely has power
23:00He's got great knockoff percentage
23:02You've seen him play guys out here
23:04Lopez was smart there
23:06When he had Sumpter in the corner
23:08You can either be too close
23:10Or you can be too far out
23:12For Sumpter to be effective
23:14But too close for Sumpter to be effective
23:16So he can't get leverage on his shots
23:18And there on the inside in the neutral corner
23:20About 30 seconds ago
23:22Lopez knew how to be just close enough
23:24To where Sumpter got no leverage on any of his shots
23:26Well Chip you said it
23:28For Najee Lopez even though he's fallen long
23:30He's a very good inside puncher
23:32Good
23:34A little bit more on the jab
23:36A little bit more feints
23:38Alright
23:40Najee when you get in the corner
23:42If you know that
23:44Those are things that we
23:46Come on
23:48Work that
23:50Work that
23:52Be there
23:54You're not comfortable
23:56Turn don't sit there
23:58Turn and shoot your shot
24:00Back inside the corner
24:02You hear him of Najee Lopez
24:04But join us July 31st
24:06That's right right back here
24:08Pro Box Event Center
24:1010 rounds in the welterweight division
24:12Palmetto vs. Saracho
24:14Argentina vs. Mexico
24:16It's going to be a fun one yet again
24:18Maybe not to my
24:20Argentine companion here
24:22Chris Algieri right?
24:24Palmetto we've had on our air before
24:26He's an exciting fighter
24:28That's an excellent matchup
24:30Saracho's a dangerous guy too
24:32Very talented yeah
24:34And I think Palmetto was an Argentine
24:36National champion
24:38Even he had a good amateur background
24:40Both guys have really good amateur backgrounds
24:42Najee Lopez 10-0
24:44Taking on Steven Soto
24:46Beautiful time
24:48First knockdown for Lopez
24:50Really?
24:52I agree with you
24:54Beautiful counter left hook
24:56Step back right over the top
24:58Check shot
25:00Referee says it was a slip
25:02I'd like to see that again
25:04That looked like a good clean shot
25:06Instead of a knockdown
25:08In round number 4 for Sumpter
25:10It has been all Najee Lopez
25:14Because of combos just like that
25:16Good body shot in there too
25:18He's always sneaking that left hand body shot
25:20Right around the elbow
25:22Gets it in there real nice
25:24Sumpter is dangerous in spots
25:26Lopez as I said a few rounds ago
25:28Understands how to control the fight
25:32Leading with the head
25:34Southpaw vs. Orthodox
25:36Lopez has so many ranges
25:38He can fight from the outside, middle distance
25:40He can even smother you and throw punches from the inside
25:42Nice job
25:44The feint to get Sumpter to break his stance
25:46Yeah you can break position with the feints
25:48Feints are an underrated weapon
25:50For a lot of guys
25:52Especially a guy with the speed of Lopez
25:54Feints can make that speed extra deadly
25:56Sumpter just looking for that one shot
25:58As we said
26:00The lightning to strike twice
26:06I was going to say
26:08The words out of my mouth
26:10Creating openings
26:12We talked about pawing away that hand as well
26:14All the way that hand
26:16You see what he did there
26:18He got real close so Sumpter can't get too much leverage
26:20Sumpter got
26:22Changing angles, changing ranges
26:24Even at close range
26:26Finding the punch
26:28Textbook stuff
26:32He knows how to win the round
26:34He's more consistent with the two fighters
26:36Sumpter knows how to be a headache
26:38But Sumpter hasn't learned to win at this level yet
26:40He's undefeated at a slower level
26:42But if he's going to get to the higher level
26:44He's going to have to learn how to win fights at this level
26:46And it takes consistency
26:48I always call that winning the moments
26:50Fighting in between stuff
26:52At the highest level, championship level
26:54That really matters
26:56Win seconds, win minutes, win rounds
26:58That's what they teach you as you move up
27:00You guys know that better than anyone
27:04As you said
27:06Sumpter's had moments
27:08Hasn't strung them in the minutes
27:10Hasn't strung those in a round
27:12I couldn't really give him much of this fight
27:14Other than Monaco
27:16This is one of those
27:18Maybe wide scorecards
27:20But really a tougher fight than competitive
27:22Sumpter earning it
27:28Knockdown or slip
27:30You guys judge
27:34I think Sumpter comes in
27:36Cupping shot
27:38That caught him
27:40It was off balance because of the punch
27:42You know with the southpaw too
27:44A little bit of cupping shot
27:46Did hurt him?
27:48Didn't seem like it
28:15Yeah
28:25Commission wanted to see it again
28:27I wouldn't call it a knock
28:29It was caused because of a punch
28:31Off balance because of a punch
28:33Called a slip by the referee
28:35Jimmy we gotta give Mr. Baldhead on our chat
28:37A shout out because he's a super chat
28:39And he says Naji Lopez uses jab
28:41Biggest issue is when a good fighter doesn't use his jab
28:43I agree with you
28:45But sometimes guys kind of forget about the jab
28:47A little bit against southpaws
28:49But when Lopez has used it
28:51I mentioned a couple of rounds ago
28:53When he hit that deceptive double jab
28:55To disguise the entrance
28:57He sets up some good combinations on the entry
28:59Which is a good observation by Mr. Baldhead
29:01I agree with you
29:03It's funny
29:05The round that Naji got dropped
29:07He actually came out and was jamming through
29:09And then he got over his knees
29:11And even some of those entries
29:13When I said a couple of rounds ago
29:15I was talking about how something needs to be deceptive
29:17And he's not
29:19And then Naji right at that moment
29:21Told him that double jab disguised the entry
29:23And disguised the right hand and left hook
29:25To the body that was initiated with the double jab
29:27So when he does use the jab
29:29It does protect him too
29:31I would have liked to see more of what Naji's doing right now
29:33In this fight
29:35To get on his toes a little bit
29:37Box, be athletic, use that jab, set things up
29:39They don't see like that
29:41Get knocked down
29:43Remind you to get back to basics
29:45Back to the boxing
29:4710 rounds
29:49But will he finish with a knockout?
29:51That's 8 in his 10 wins so far
29:53You can tell
29:55Naji wants to stop it
29:57I mentioned that earlier
29:59Even when he gets hurt in fights
30:01He still wants to finish
30:03He could coast in this round number 8
30:05But he is not
30:07A worthy fight
30:09Smocks are out
30:11They got blood from both men
30:13Under the eye of Lopez
30:15From the nose and the mouth of Sumter
30:17Like you said Jim
30:19This is a sneaky competitive fight
30:21Probably not going to show that
30:23Sumter still making some bad intentions there
30:25A sharp little uppercut
30:27Good selection
30:29Left uppercut there
30:31And you see
30:33Lopez follows it up
30:35The question is
30:37You talked about the follow up champ
30:39Will he follow up and look for the knockout?
30:4145 seconds left in the final round
30:45That's been
30:47The difference guys
30:49Lopez knows how to follow up a good shot
30:51Being the boss in a round
30:53Sumter will land some good moments
30:55And he won't follow up and take the initiative going forward
30:57I think that's been the thing
30:59That has separated these two guys
31:01And we talked about that
31:03Hidden agreement
31:05You guys just gotta say
31:07Alright this is your night
31:09Sumter seemed like he was on that way
31:11And then he scores a knockdown
31:13Beautiful combinations
31:15Final 10 seconds of the final round
31:17Why is Lopez able to do this?
31:19Because Sumter doesn't punch back
31:21Sumter is not shooting back in between
31:23The way he was trying to
31:25A couple of rounds ago that led to the knockdown
31:27Despite the efforts of Lopez
31:29Lopez will go the distance
31:35A little machismo
31:37A little half respect and machismo
31:39A little bit of that
31:41They gave each other some good work tonight
31:43It was entertaining to watch
31:45That was a good fight
31:47Sure Lopez is telling his corner
31:49Your boy is tough man
31:51Hit him with some good shots
31:53Wasn't able to take him out
31:55Able to get a knockdown in round number 4
31:57Not enough to turn the tide
31:59But you know what on Sumter's resume
32:01He'll be 9-1 in the L he took
32:03A knockdown scored
32:05Against the undefeated Nagy Lopez
32:07It doesn't go too bad going forward
32:09He can build off this and improve off this
32:11If he corrects some of the mistakes
32:13I think he showed his quality too
32:15Like I said I would like to see him
32:17Be more busy
32:19That's the thing
32:21I think his deficiency is a little bit psychological
32:23He's got to understand that he's got to boss it
32:25He's got to be at a level 2
32:27But also I don't know if he did punch more
32:29If he would have made a difference in this fight
32:31Nagy Lopez is an excellent fighter
32:33We saw the distance control
32:35From Nagy right away
32:37Saw some big shots
32:39Sumter was setting up the left hand early on
32:41Going low to aim high
32:43But whenever Sumter's back was on the ropes
32:45Nagy Lopez was able to unload and land some big shots
32:47There was a good left hand there from Sumter
32:49There's that beautiful lead uppercut to the southpaw
32:51Sumter
32:53That was a performance
32:55When Lopez controlled the fight
32:57But every once in a while Sumter would let him know
32:59Hey I'm here, chill out, don't get too comfortable
33:01And that was the biggest moment that he let him know
33:03Don't get too comfortable here fella
33:05Spun the head around
33:07That was not an off balance shot
33:09That was a beautiful left cross across the chin
33:11Beautiful shot
33:13That's the thing
33:15Sumter was tricky throughout
33:17He was landing shots here and there
33:19It wasn't enough
33:21But here it kind of looks like a little slap
33:23Especially on the southpaw
33:25You kind of push them down with that lead hand cup
33:27Probably a good call by the referee there
33:29Getting those uppercuts
33:31The uppercuts were sneaky
33:33You talk about a lead hand uppercut against a southpaw champ
33:35Nagy Lopez was very effective with it tonight
33:37Saw the damage to the face of Sumter
33:39Great shots throughout
33:41From Nagy Lopez
33:43Certainly keeps his undefeated record
33:45But what are the scorecards?
33:47Only Jim Sorensen knows that
33:51Ladies and gentlemen
33:53Tell these gentlemen what you thought of this fight
34:01After 8 rounds
34:03We go to the judges scorecards
34:05Judge Tito Wilgo
34:07Sees this fight 77-74
34:11Judge Jed O'Connor and Max Parker Jr.
34:13Agree it's 78-73
34:15For your winner
34:17By unanimous decision
34:19And still undefeated
34:23Nagy Tito Lopez
34:29Nagy Lopez moves to 11-0
34:33But does not add a ninth knockout
34:35He was going for it in that final round
34:37He did not want to see that final bout
34:39I told you he wants the finishes
34:41He did a lot of damage in that last round
34:43Had the nose and mouth of Sumter really gushing
34:45Couldn't get it, ran out of time
34:47He hadn't heard it at the end
34:49Just ran out of time
34:51These comments are wild
34:53One guy goes
34:55Perceptive music
