SportsTranscript
00:00Okay fellas, let's thank you both from the dressing room for a good clean fight, protect yourselves at all times, obey my commands at all times, touch gloves, good luck to both of you.
00:12Five kilograms the difference on the scales yesterday.
00:18Huge.
00:20He is the number one lightweight in the country in terms of domestic fighters.
00:28He is the current Aussie champ, a two-time champ as James said.
00:34And a couple of Southpaws ready to do their thing.
00:37Jalen Tate in the white and the red and the ANC from Kazakhstan in the black and the white.
00:47Yeah, that's certainly not a miss, Andy.
00:49That's just pure, I don't know, sabotage I can only call it because I mean that's the biggest no-no in the sport, especially at these lighter weights.
00:57What you've got to understand is five kilos is almost 10% of their body weight.
01:01Yeah.
01:02That is massive.
01:03And you know what?
01:04Any other fighter than Jalen probably would have just walked away from this fight.
01:07But testament to him, testament to his team and testament to his dad.
01:11He's taken it because his fans are here and he wants to put on a show for them.
01:19And my hope is his bravery is rewarded and not punished.
01:24Exactly.
01:25He's got a really stiff test in front of him.
01:27This Kazakh fighter, I mean, he's a fighter.
01:31He's fought all over Asia.
01:33First time to Australia but fought all around Asia, been to many countries.
01:39And won in many countries.
01:41So he's tried and tested and he's a very, very good fighter.
01:45Very crafty.
01:46Brawler and doesn't matter either.
01:49He'll do whatever it takes to no contests in his last seven.
01:57He leads with the head.
01:59He'll hold on.
02:01He'll shoulder, he'll push.
02:03He'll give you a forearm if it's required.
02:05Work out of it.
02:06Come on.
02:07Hands free.
02:08Make things more difficult too.
02:09Both boys fighting out of the south force stance, which is very unlike what we see in Australia.
02:17That's for sure.
02:18It's quite common overseas, especially in Europe.
02:20But very rare here in Australia.
02:25Tate, very composed for an inexperienced athlete.
02:30Very composed for a 22-year-old young man as well.
02:32And that's inside and outside the ring.
02:35He's got a real level of maturity about him as a person, as a young man.
02:40Yeah, and he stepped up his game this preparation.
02:42He's spent a bit of time in the States over with Coach Steve Rowland.
02:46So got in some really good sparring and some great learning over there.
02:50So he's in good stead here.
02:52It's just obviously that weight difference.
02:54Other than that, I mean, it'd be a real Red Hawk favorite to take this one out.
02:59Because he's done the work in the offseason.
03:01That's for sure.
03:05Wide base Jalen Tate.
03:08He's what I would term as a pretty big lightweight.
03:13Big frame.
03:15He's got a nice wide base with his feet.
03:19And he really uses that.
03:21He sits down on his punches when he throws them.
03:23So when he throws a punch, you're getting every bit of it.
03:31Bell sounds. Back to the corners after one.
03:33We are scheduled for eight.
03:35Yeah, very measured first round.
03:37Both boys not taking too many risks.
03:39Just trying to work each other out.
03:41Trying to find their distance.
03:42And that's probably a good thing, especially from Jalen.
03:45Considering the weight advantage, you can see the kid's got power.
03:49When he threw that power shot, it did score.
03:52And he's got some power behind it.
03:54That's for sure.
03:55Especially with all those extra kilos behind him.
03:59This bout was actually scheduled for earlier on in the year.
04:02On September 9th.
04:03But Jalen had to pull out due to a slight injury.
04:06So it's been rematched.
04:07And that's why we're back here right now.
04:11But an exciting contest.
04:14No doubt.
04:28Round number two.
04:29Paul Tapley is our referee.
04:31Adam Haidt, John Watson, Phil Austin, our three ringside judges.
04:35The Wolf Jalen Tate from Townsville.
04:37He is in the white and the red.
04:40And Ake Yianzi from Kazakhstan.
04:47He is in the black and the white.
04:53Great defense from Jalen.
04:55Great head movement.
04:57Saw them coming a mile away.
04:58Just the balance is second to none.
05:00He is sensational on his feet.
05:02And you can see punches coming from a mile away.
05:19Very patient here, Jalen.
05:21Jalen.
05:23And that's something we've seen develop over the last couple of years.
05:32It's probably a good thing too, Andy.
05:33These Kazakhs, they know how to fight.
05:35Obviously, everyone knows Triple G is the main Kazakhstan fighter.
05:40But I mean, everyone.
05:42I remember all throughout, the amateurs, they were the most avoided fighters.
05:45Because they were boxer punches.
05:47They could do everything.
05:48They could box with you.
05:50And they had some bite in their punch too when they hit you.
05:53So they were very, very avoided fighters.
05:56And yeah, you can see he's got a bit of everything.
05:59This kid, Yianzi as well.
06:03Fourth fight for the calendar year for Jalen Tate.
06:06And it would have been five had he not had to pull out of that September bout.
06:12So the team wants to remain busy.
06:19Yianzi.
06:20Some power there.
06:23Just letting Jalen feel a bit of it.
06:30Tate looking to go to the body.
06:35He has felt the power of the international opponent.
06:42Trying to switch him up there and driving the right hand into the midsection.
06:47The already reddening midsection of the visitor.
07:01Great counter there from The Wolf.
07:04Made him miss, made him pay.
07:06This top level fight, it's almost like a chess match.
07:10You know, you make one mistake, you're surely going to pay for it.
07:14You can see that's exactly what happened there with Jalen The Wolf, Tate.
07:20Good shots once again from Tate while he had his opponent on the ropes.
07:25Oh, and a good shot there from Yianzi.
07:29Interesting round, interesting fight developing here.
07:35Good to see the Tower of Terror's Dempsey McKean in the audience here.
07:45Thank you too.
07:48A couple of highlights from round two is an interesting one,
07:51especially towards the back end of that round,
07:54it started to get a little bit interesting.
07:56Yianzi scoring with his best punch of the fight so far,
07:59but it was just that constant work from Tate,
08:02that laser accuracy from Tate.
08:05He doesn't waste any punches,
08:07and when he throws, more often than not, they connect.
08:10You can see good shots there from both boys to close out that round.
08:17You don't have to go forward, Adam, just let him come to you, mate.
08:30Here we go, round number three, three of eight.
08:32International matchup here on this final ace boxing show for 2023,
08:39sponsored by Ultratune Pro-Ed Civil,
08:42and tonight, the Empire Nightclub.
08:44Our other sponsors, Bill Chasers,
08:46who created Action Metal Recyclers, Madison Sport,
08:50Wallace Waste Management, Avia Homes, and Panhay Lawyers.
08:59Tate playing the long game here,
09:04and he's, at the moment, I still think,
09:07just trying to position Yianzi,
09:12the right part of the ring, to let it all go.
09:15That was a good body shot there from Yianzi,
09:17as Tate tries to repay the favour.
09:21There's a little clash of heads there, both boys just touching gloves,
09:24but it's a top-level fight, you can see.
09:28Don't want to make too many mistakes.
09:33Good body shot there from Tate.
09:37One of the many things I like about Jalen,
09:39when his work is done, and he feels his work is done,
09:43he doesn't hang around in that mid-range,
09:45he's out of there and at an angle,
09:47so you're not going to get him.
09:53Paul Tapley separating.
09:57Halfway through round number three.
09:59And there's some markings, significant markings,
10:01under Jalen Tate's eyes, I've just seen that now.
10:04There's bruising and swelling already starting to occur.
10:08That just says the amount of power coming from Yianzi.
10:13Obviously got a bit of power behind those punches as well,
10:16and you can see they're very sharp and snappy.
10:19We haven't seen that really before with Jalen Tate.
10:24I wonder if he's got a pair of those boxer's sunglasses
10:27that every boxer seems to wear overseas,
10:31after a bit of a touch-up.
10:33You can't let anyone see the bruised eyes
10:35or the cuts above and below the eyebrow.
10:42Lots of defensive work there from Yianzi.
10:46Good jab there from Tate once again.
10:55It's a big call, Andy, for him to take this fight
10:58with a five kilo disadvantage.
11:01I mean, that's a big call, just a testament to their camp,
11:05testament to their team, because like I said,
11:08many people would have walked away from it.
11:10And you can see, this is a tough fight.
11:12It's not five kilos on a bum.
11:14This is five kilos on a top-notch, quality, quality opponent.
11:21Jalen wants one more combination before the end of the round.
11:26Not going to get it.
11:27Back to the corners.
11:28Back to the corners they do go once again.
11:32He's fighting within himself at the moment, Jalen.
11:35Very controlled performance.
11:45Pressure's in, Jalen.
11:46Try not to tend down, because he's getting on top of you, OK?
11:50By the callback, turn out, OK?
11:53Yeah, yeah.
11:54Try getting a bit smarter now, Tom.
11:56OK?
11:58So now, there's little patches here now,
12:01there's little patches in the rounds now
12:03where he's starting to back off against you, OK?
12:08He's backing off to the ropes
12:09and then coming over to his left, your right, OK?
12:12Bang, control him with that right hook, all right?
12:16Control him with that right hook when he backs up onto the rope.
12:20Go, red corner.
12:21Shantahi.
12:25In the corner, always very calculated
12:28in what he's telling his son.
12:31Very measured.
12:33Yeah, very calm as well, which is what you want.
12:38Good body shot.
12:39Some full boxers, the last thing you need
12:41after three minutes of getting your head whacked
12:45is to get into a corner where it's a million miles an hour
12:48and you actually don't get the 60-second break.
12:52Right, step back, step back.
12:54We have seen it before, we will see it again, no doubt.
13:02Good body shot from Tate.
13:03Once again, right hook to the body.
13:11Again to the body for Jalen.
13:14So he's come out here in round number four.
13:17Work out of it, work out of it.
13:20An altered game plan or a changed game plan to a degree.
13:25We've seen a lot of body shots and he's turned up the power.
13:28He is trying to drop the hands here of the ANC
13:35and it will happen.
13:38Yeah, they've been the money shots for him so far, Jalen Tate,
13:40tonight is those body shots.
13:42You can see he's really sinking them in
13:44and see he's going to both sides as well.
13:47And look at this, he's starting to feel the pinch here.
13:50They're starting to hurt those body shots.
13:52You can see that both sides of his ribs
13:56are starting to really redden up.
13:58You can see the markings already on his ribs.
14:02It's only going to get worse.
14:04The more this fight goes in as Tate tries to sink another one
14:08into the body and there it is.
14:09This is methodical from Jalen Tate.
14:13Keep in mind, folks, this is a 22-year-old you're watching.
14:19You're not meant to be discomposed at 22.
14:2432, 42, whatever you are, keep going.
14:34Back against the ropes, changes his level,
14:37changes his level, goes high this time.
14:40So the hands are up and he goes low.
14:43Nice work from Tate.
14:44Yeah, he's feeling these body punches.
14:46I'm telling you, he's retreating and retreating very quickly.
14:50He's feeling the wrath of those punches
14:53because he's sinking them in.
14:54It must have been a game plan that he picked up
14:56potentially in the States because it's something
14:58he's definitely added to his toolkit since coming back.
15:02Almost a mini Superman punch.
15:05He's comfortable now, Jalen.
15:08He's having a little bit of fun with his work.
15:11I don't know if Dad will appreciate that.
15:17Couple back to the body.
15:19Changes level, goes high, but so too does Jansky.
15:22And Jansky with two shots at the end of the round.
15:25Not enough to steal it.
15:27As you can see, some replays of that fourth round.
15:30A very, very measured round, once again,
15:33from Tate sinking those body shots in.
15:35You can see the replays here.
15:37He really felt that one, did Jansky.
15:41He retreated and retreated hard.
15:45But those shots, Jansky,
15:47those shots are going to come back.
15:49He's going to come back and he's going to come back
15:51and he's going to come back and he's going to come back.
15:54But those, those just stick around with you
15:57throughout the whole fight.
15:58So if Tate keeps on persisting to those bodies,
16:00eventually he might crack.
16:02Boom.
16:03And then the left hand, OK?
16:04Yeah, yeah.
16:05OK?
16:06That's all, that's the basics, mate.
16:08Come on, let's go.
16:09Break him down.
16:10Alright.
16:11He's hit the side.
16:13You're going good, mate.
16:14You're going good.
16:15Now, Jalen, look for that shovel.
16:20Yeah, Bolo, the shovel punch.
16:23Sort of in between a drive,
16:26a straight drive and an uppercut.
16:30And history tells the story of how successful
16:33it's been over the years to so many of the great fighters.
16:42Forty years this week since Leonard and Duran.
16:48Do you want to feel old?
16:49Or older?
16:53Back in the golden era for the middleweights.
17:01Jalen Tate in the white and red.
17:05RK.
17:08The ANC in the black and the white.
17:12We're in round number five, the second part of the fight.
17:16The last round telling in the fact
17:18we saw the visitor very much on the back foot
17:21after a series of combination body shots
17:24that started to drop the hands.
17:28It's exactly what Jalen Tate was looking for.
17:37Right hand over the top there.
17:39Yeah, he got a call with a good shot there.
17:41That was a better body shot there from Jalen Tate.
17:44Once again, just as you called.
17:47Oh, good shot there from the ANC.
17:52Yeah, just when you thought Tate was setting up
17:57for something special, the ANC with quite a counter punch
18:02against the momentum very much.
18:08Only the three knockouts on his resume for the visitor
18:11but seems to have more power than that statistic would suggest.
18:22Oh, again, those body shots.
18:26They are just crippling.
18:29Talking about those knockouts, Andy,
18:31he's five kilos overweight too.
18:33So we're seeing a bigger fighter.
18:35So maybe when he is down lower,
18:37he hasn't got that amount of power in his punches.
18:40So that's potentially why.
18:42But we're seeing a larger fighter here
18:44with potentially bigger punches.
18:46Box.
18:50I reckon he's lucky only being five kilos overweight.
18:54That's credit to him.
18:57Oh, dear, my mirrors.
18:59What are you sitting at, Andy?
19:01I'm not fighting a cruiserweight, I can tell you that.
19:09Paul Tapley hasn't had a lot of work to do tonight
19:14in separating the two of them there.
19:16Final couple of seconds of the round.
19:21It started with a lot of promise for Jalen.
19:25It didn't quite go as planned, I think,
19:29to the blue corner, that one.
19:36Let's see some replays of that fifth round.
19:40Yeah, Tate started really fast, like you said, Andy.
19:43But sort of took the foot off the pedal
19:47a little bit towards the back end of that round.
19:50I mean, it's still a tight round for me.
19:53But, yeah, Yancey's dangerous. Wow.
20:00Stay strong in your stature in that, OK?
20:03OK, now keep looking for that right hook, mate.
20:06Keep sitting there.
20:07When he's circling around there a lot,
20:09boom, then come through with a quick left.
20:11Don't have to engage in close with him, OK?
20:14Don't have to push up close to him, all right?
20:17Again, doing a terrific job as Hutto Hosking,
20:20who has the greatest job in the Ace Boxing Group family.
20:24He's the young man that assists the ring card girls
20:27in and out of the ring.
20:30He's always got a smile from ear to ear for some reason.
20:33We continue on Jalen Tate and Ake Yancey.
20:42Yancey had a couple of good shots in that last round
20:46where Tate, as Nate said, he probably took the foot off
20:50the accelerator just a little bit.
20:56You can see he's starting to get comfortable here,
20:58hands down, Tate, but it's...
21:01Yeah, it's surprising, to be honest,
21:05because he's got a really big, punching,
21:08heavier guy in front of him.
21:10But he's obviously feeling comfortable in there.
21:17Do-si-do your partner, and Paul Tapley said
21:20I've seen enough dancing.
21:22Let's get back to fighting, and that they do
21:24with two minutes remaining in round number eight.
21:28A couple of good shots there from Yancey,
21:31and a good jab there from Tate.
21:34Right, step back, step back.
21:37A little sloppy in this round.
21:41The fight has developed.
21:48So I'm not really happy with the rounds here.
21:53Look for that shovel punch right there.
21:55That was the punch his dad asked to see.
21:59A couple of rounds back in the 62nd round break.
22:05I reckon it's safe to say you're not going to stop
22:07this guy to the head.
22:08If he's going to stop him, Tate, I think it's to the body,
22:10and he must have just heard me because he did
22:13a massive right whip into the body,
22:15and finishes off to the head there.
22:17That was a good exchange there from Jalen the Wolf Tate.
22:21When Jalen's hitting high, he doesn't even budge.
22:25He just wears the punches.
22:29Ooh, big right hand from Yancey.
22:37Both guys have slowed up.
22:39There's some power on show for mid-60 kilos.
22:5035 seconds into the sixth round.
22:54Getting deep into this fight now.
23:00Ooh.
23:08Both boys happy to have a look.
23:10There's a big looping shot just missing the mark there
23:13from Yancey as both boys tie up,
23:16and the 10th second goes off.
23:22Yeah, the clapper goes off.
23:24Ooh, good shot there from Jalen Tate
23:27in that round.
23:29Yancey not without points in each of the last couple of rounds.
23:35They are Tates for mine, but it's not a basher.
23:40Yeah, definitely.
23:41I mean, he's just sort of fighting within himself
23:43at the moment, Tate.
23:44He's just doing enough to edge the rounds,
23:46and that's all you've got to do,
23:47especially when you've got a dangerous, dangerous fighter
23:50in front of you,
23:51but it's starting to really heat up
23:56the more this fight goes on, that's for sure.
24:08Just be smart.
24:09Don't get too greedy.
24:10Okay?
24:11Don't get too greedy.
24:17Be smart.
24:19Probably the go-to advice for Jalen here.
24:26Two rounds remaining,
24:29and if I'm honest, it is a dangerous six minutes
24:32for Jalen Tate.
24:34He's up against a tough dude who does have some whack in him,
24:40and Jalen, on my card anyway, is up comfortably,
24:47so there's a whole heap to lose here for Jalen Tate.
24:53Over the top is the second of a two-punch combination.
24:58Good body shot there from Tate once again,
25:00and he tried to pull it on.
25:01It's the body shot, and he is buckled straight back
25:06to his feet now.
25:08Oh, no.
25:09He drops again.
25:11It is over.
25:13Jalen Tate to the body, take a back,
25:18and we called it throughout the fight.
25:20If it was going to stop him, it was going to be to the body,
25:24and he did exactly that.
25:25You can see he hurt him several times throughout the course
25:28of that fight, and eventually got one that was good enough
25:33to keep him down, and that's a massive win,
25:37especially given the circumstances for Jalen Tate
25:40and all that weight difference.
25:42As we see the finish off here, it was to the head.
25:46You can see crouched over, not feeling comfortable.
25:49One more shot to the same spot, and that's all she wrote.
25:56Yeah, it was, and it wasn't even in this combination here.
26:02The job was done by then.
26:05Right in the liver.
26:11Already been done, that right hand whack into the body,
26:15and he is sitting here literally a couple of feet away from us
26:20at the moment, that right driving hand, the body shot.
