00:00So
00:18Fabian Guggenheim is the referee this is the top of the bill tonight and hopefully another step
00:22along the road for the hard-hitting Sam Noakes the first defense of the European title he won
00:28in his last fight against the veteran Ivan Mendy the first time by the way that he heard the final
00:33bell Gianluca Sheglier is 34 he's lost four times in 26 fights including against Mendy back in 2022
00:41and tonight Richie Noakes says he wants to start another knockout streak yes he does indeed and
00:47it'll be interesting to see how Sheglier actually starts this contest does he stand in trade with
00:53Noakes or does he hit a move and try and avoid those big shots because we know Sam Noakes starts
00:58quick he's very powerful so it'll be an interesting start I think from from Sheglier how he's going to
01:04go about it because if he does stand and trade with Noakes then he really is gambling against
01:10a big puncher who gets the job done early remember one thing that's worth pointing out is that the
01:17style of Sheglier might well play into the hands of Noakes he does tend to come forward and
01:22hold his head high and when you're in there with a brutal puncher like Noakes
01:26that can generate problems for yourself I must say as well he looks nice and colourful tonight
01:31Sam doesn't he in the trunks yeah interesting choice there for him but uh
01:39fair play to him does look colourful but yeah Sheglier then he's decided to stand in and trade a
01:45little bit so uh yeah maybe trying to make a statement to Sam Noakes but I just think like
01:51you know shots like that he's just he's just going to walk onto shots um if he's going to
01:56stand and trade Sam Noakes would much prefer him to do that anyway standing in front of him it's
02:01when opponents are going to move away from Sam Noakes he's got where he's got to work a little
02:05bit harder to to land those bigger shots if they're standing in front of him coming forward
02:10well they're doing the work for him in terms of closing the gap there you go look landing a left
02:14up to the body like that one there so it'll be an interesting start Noakes had stopped 13 in a row
02:20before Mendy took in the distance here in April and he did the 12 rounds comfortably that night
02:26he's only needed 57 rounds to beat 14 different men and prior to the Mendy fight none of his
02:34previous five contests had gone past the fourth round and they tell us that he's been dropping
02:39sparring partners for fun with the big clubs in the build-up I think that's why his brother
02:44Sean was so bullish about what we might see tonight when Danny caught up with him earlier
02:49I think we're most certainly going to see how tough Sheglier is here and Fletch and don't be
02:55surprised if if Sam Noakes starts landing this right to book up Sheglier's coming forward his
03:02head's a little bit too low and it won't be too long before Sam Noakes starts throwing that punch
03:07through the middle so again Sheglier I think he's going to be tested here he's metal he's really
03:12going to be put under the cosh here early on really solid left jab that just made him stagger
03:17backwards a little bit Sheglier the European lightweight title on the line notes also holds
03:28the British title and the Commonwealth title but neither of those belts of course on the line
03:34tonight that's a real badly sort of fitted mouth guard that Sheglier's got as well it keeps dropping
03:43down he's gasping for air
03:50lotto land casino sponsors boxing on tnt sports
04:05play the monopoly game with a philly cheese stack
04:14lotto land casino sponsors boxing on tnt sports
04:28Alan Smith doing the talking just heard the word tense used at the end that was the first thing he
04:33said to Sam Noakes when he sat down he looked a little bit tense in the first round just on
04:37Sheglier one observation Richie would be that when he was moving backwards he didn't look like he's
04:42not the best balance he looks a little bit ungainly doing that yeah probably a little bit
04:46nervous as well uh Fletch you know going into this contest is a huge underdog um and he knows he's in
04:54against a big puncher so yeah I think he showed a few nerves in that opening round hopefully he'll
04:59settle down now Sheglier and he's trying to become the 17th different Italian to win the title
05:06tonight 10 years older than Noakes at 34 but nowhere near the power of the champion it's a
05:13belt that they're fighting for tonight that in the past has been in the possession of British
05:16greats like Jim Watt, Ken Buchanan and we're expecting big fights down the road for Sam
05:24Noakes who's a real entertainer very popular powerful man if he can keep coming through these
05:29challenges yeah you heard Alan Smith he's coaching the call now so get behind your back jab keep
05:36working the jab he knows how important is a good coach Alan Smith he knows how important that shot
05:40is to set up the bigger punches to measure that distance and gap and then bring that right hand
05:46through of course and it's all set up behind that lead hand and that's why Alan Smith was
05:51saying to him get back behind your jab keep using that punch
05:54so
06:03Noakes looking for those body shots
06:08second time that Sheglier is challenged for the European title
06:13lost on points to Iban Mendy back in April 2022 since that loss he's had three points wins to get
06:20this crack again tonight he's been a professional 10 years longer than Noakes but he's only been
06:26stopped once in his career Sheglier so that's the challenge for Noakes tonight
06:34I think he has settled down a little bit in terms of his nerves now Fletch he's boxing a little bit
06:38more sensible now keeping that guard nice and high he's expecting the attacks to come from
06:44Noakes so Noakes might just have to work for these openings
06:48here look see look how he's tucked up there couple got through that wasn't too bad from
06:52Noakes but nevertheless you can see Sheglier with the hands high elbows tucked in so he's
06:56expecting the attack downstairs so you've got to draw those those hands down a little bit
07:04or even got to draw the hands up and lift the elbows to get those body shots
07:09you mentioned the ill-fitting mouthpiece and then he's having to box this contest
07:13with his mouth open yeah how much of an issue is that that is a real bad issue that's when that's
07:18how you can get a broken jaw if you get a punch on the jaw with your mouth open that's when the
07:23jaw can break so it's very very dangerous that's a poorly fitting fitted um mouthpiece no doubt
07:29about it when you when you open your mouth flex that though that should be stuck to the top teeth
07:35shouldn't you know should be dentist fitted and it shouldn't be coming down like that it's often
07:40a signal later in fights that fighters are getting tired but it certainly shouldn't be
07:43doing that this early in the contest and there's the bell to end the second
07:50lotto land casino sponsors boxing on tnt sports
07:59the monopoly game is back at mcdonald's there's more ways to win and over 70 million prizes up
08:04for grabs including a hundred grand in cash mcdonald's monopoly power peel
08:14lotto land casino sponsors boxing on tnt sports
08:35you can see the disparity in punches thrown
08:38in the second round one way traffic punches landed as well i mean statistically already
08:44it's looking like a notes landslide i think in an ideal world he wants to get this done
08:51inside six rounds he's already saying he'd like to fight again before the end of the year but
08:55of course you've got to take each of these challenges as they come one at a time
09:00right
09:03well remember in his last contest fletch he went 12 rounds for the first time against
09:07equality opponents in ivan mendy so he'll go go into this one nice and confident indeed so
09:14he can afford to raise the pace now he knows he's got 12 rounds in him there's no problem there
09:19and that's what he may have to do here he doesn't need to get frustrated he's just got to up the
09:23tempo key behind his boxing most certainly but just raise the tempo a little bit
09:30and and work at a higher work rate and that's when the openings will certainly come
09:37and shagley a fair play to him he started this round um fairly competitively hasn't he hasn't he
09:44so
10:02he's difficult to penetrate those elbows and the guard with the left hook to the body once again
10:08where there's that right hook we spoke about earlier so that's the shot i'd like to see him
10:12throw more of just varies work a little bit because he's in against the opponent with a
10:16tight guard and it's going to be difficult to penetrate that guard so you've got to show lots
10:21of variations lots of feints make him think that something's coming that isn't an attack maybe
10:29and like i say just try and open him up with those feints and just keep working away and raise the
10:34tempo the point that's worth making is it's stiflingly hot inside york hall tonight emphasized
10:41by the 12 rounds between george stewart massoud abdullah i mean the fact they fought at that
10:47place in this heat was testament to both of them it's it's hardly any air in here it's that kind
10:53of place isn't it yeah it was an incredible pace that last contest that's better that left up
10:58definitely got through so shagley just showing the little signs there yeah he took that one that was
11:03a good shot downstairs that left up to the body those are the quality shots that he's got to try
11:08and concentrate on and get through that um difficult guard of shagley's
11:21probably shot gets you again from sam noakes
11:33welcome working behind that left jab forcing shagley back to the ropes here
11:40right by his own corner notes final few seconds of round three and there's the bell
11:50lotto land casino sponsors boxing on tnt sports
11:54voxie mobile's unlimited social media is sick i'm about to vlog a day in the life
11:59what life the fun never ends with unlimited social media on voxie mobile
12:10lotto land casino sponsors boxing on tnt sports
12:23yeah it's come up look for that jab and look around the sides there was a great exchange
12:28between alan smith and sam notes when he first sat down and sam notes said to his trainer
12:32he's not a bad fighter alan smith's response was when you don't get to be
12:36mandatory for nothing i thought it was a great exchange when they both sat down absolutely
12:45it was just like a little nutter over a pint at the pub yeah
12:49in the white hot atmosphere of a european title fight here at your call fourth round
12:56sam noakes in the multi-colored shorts and the they're almost like as roma colors aren't they
13:02for the italian and shagley the golden red yeah it certainly probably surprised noakes a little
13:07bit there's the shagley he's standing in front of him and he's difficult to penetrate that guard of
13:13but he's starting to get through now with with better shots his notes and that's why i think
13:19he's just got to go through the gears a little bit more
13:23and put this fella under a little bit more pressure in terms of the volume of punches
13:30for all of the power that notes brings and the knockout record that he's got he's only
13:33been stopped once we've got to emphasize that shanluka shaglia and he hasn't been stopped for
13:3814 years and he's been in with some decent men during that time so it's not just a foregone
13:43conclusion that notes is going to walk through him and stop him retain his title that way
13:48might have to go the longer route might have to be patient and work that little bit harder but
13:51he knows now of course psychologically after the mendy fight the 12 rounds are okay yes that's
13:57right exactly so he's got that in his locker now he can go those 12 rounds at a decent pace because
14:04the mendify was a good good scrap wasn't it
14:10it's just all about being patient and just keep working away
14:14that's better that was a nice shot downstairs there yes shaglia definitely felt that one
14:25it's a very tight guard being held by the experienced italian
14:29oh just glance that left hook off the ropes as well just to remind notes that he's in there
14:36yeah this is where you need a few feints so flex you see a few feints here and there
14:40make him think then attacks coming that doesn't doesn't actually land and then throw another shot
14:46just to get a reaction from him make the hands come down slightly
14:52that's what's needed here with any when you're fighting anyone with a real tight guard like
14:56that that's when you've got to draw on some feints and try and find a way through and get
15:01a reaction from your opponent in terms of work rate to this point notes has thrown more than
15:08three times as many punches as shaglia 30 seconds to go in the fourth
15:18heavy shots now starting to land from notes i certainly
15:21feel like the shots have got heavier in the fourth
15:26just started to set his feet a little bit more let the power shots go
15:29finding his rhythm finding his rhythm now better shots good variation there just
15:34come off the line didn't he notes
15:38oh good left up to the body there that was a good shot from notes also
15:46good strong end to the round for notes
15:49lotto land casino sponsors boxing on tnt sports

16:25welcome back to your call in bethnal green sand oaks defending his european lightweight title
16:31against the italian Gianluca Shaglia
16:36it's a landslide as far as ritchie woodall is concerned he's given sam notes the first four
16:41rounds just in terms of the the accuracy of notes so far tonight which he's thrown over 400 punches
16:48according to our statistics and he's landed nearly 50 of them which is a decent ratio
16:52yes indeed some good work from notes especially in that last round he just
16:57started to turn the screw a little bit more in that last round and just
17:00raised the tempo a little bit and at one point i thought he landed a couple of good body shots and
17:07really hurt shaglia he certainly felt them anyway
17:10oh
17:20start things off
17:41i think one thing you would say fletch whenever shagley has really stepped up in class he's been
17:48beaten as he could be beaten against the good swedish boxer world-class anthony you get he's
17:53also been beat by mendy van mendy so when he stepped up to box quality opponents he's always
18:00been on the receiving end i think at 34 now this is probably his last real chance isn't it to to
18:07make a mark sort of in the division at european level fought for this title before of course
18:15against mendy and he's been beaten but this is a tough ask for him here against the big
18:21punching notes and for me he hasn't won a round yet so he's got it all to do hasn't won a round
18:28but you'd say it's awkward an experience you can see both of those elements in there can't you
18:34you know he's not doing enough to win the round but yes he's tough
18:37he's awkward but he's certainly not winning them
18:49one thing i would watch out for though fletch in these close quarters we've said it before
18:53heads rub you never know what can happen on the inside if the heads clash
18:59yeah so notes has just got to try and maintain that gap and keep his opponents you know at bay
19:05a little bit more because shegley will much prefer on the inside with the heads rubbing
19:10getting up close to his opponent anything can happen then so that's something that notes has
19:15just got to watch out for closing stages of the fifth round another round where sam noakes has set
19:23the taste
19:46slightly quieter round in there you'd still say a notes round
19:50richard yes most definitely it wasn't quite around but notes uh didn't look to win it for me
20:03don't put away
20:18there's brother sean english welterweight champion
20:22and he's got francis warren on one side royston varney smith on the other
20:28it's been a night for the brothers having seen the mccormack's earlier didn't half enjoy watching
20:36luke earlier tonight luke mccormack yeah he's excited isn't he brilliant
20:43i've been calling all it's been a really good night at york hall this division by the way
20:48is superstar laden when you think about vasyl lomachenko shakur stevenson javanta davis
20:57yeah dennis barinchik the wbo champion is the route that everybody wants to go down to try and
21:03win a world title the other three superstars of the sport yes most definitely javanta davis for me
21:08is the pick of them but yes quality in stevenson and lomachenko we all know about him how good he
21:15is a fair play tip for barinchik he's worked hard to be a world champion and he'll be a tough
21:23tough opponent for anyone dennis barinchik
21:41good body shot from notes he's having more success in terms of impactful punches to the body
21:47it's finding it more difficult to catch shagley a clean to the head yes well that was a good
21:51attack there was a good response so so he's learning a little bit he's putting under a
21:56little bit more pressure he actually scored there as shagley is trying to land a shot himself
22:03and that's how he's caught him as he's throwing out a shot then he's beat him to it and he's got
22:08him downstairs with a good punch so that's why he's probably got to concentrate on when his opponent
22:12is throwing shots then he's got to beat him to it's called counter-attacking that is beat your
22:18opponent to the punch shagley we've said it's a hard guard to actually pierce isn't it his hands
22:24are nice and high his elbows are tucked in but he got caught early with a good body shot when he's
22:29actually throwing a shot of his own so maybe that's where some notes has got to concentrate
22:34a little bit more on that counter-attacking style general consensus was that notes would
22:39get this over and done with before the sixth round so we've gone past that point but that
22:44shouldn't detract from the fact that he's boxing really well in there well he's won every round
22:48doesn't he fletch at the end of the day notes and um like i've said i just think he's got to
22:55throw more punches do it sensibly behind his boxing raise the tempo and the volume of shots
23:04because if you throw more shots there's more chance your opponent's going to try and fire
23:07back and that's when the openings will come and again it's a good attack from some notes there
23:15so
23:25just signs isn't the flex there that shegley is really feeling it now these body shots are
23:30taking their toll and yet he's struggling here yeah the body language has changed changed in
23:35the last few seconds final few seconds here in the sixth round but feels like there's a
23:40turning of the tide momentum right now heavily weighted in sam noakes favor and i would think
23:46he's quite happy to hear the bell and the fact he's just touched gloves at the end of the round
23:50maybe tells you how he's feeling yeah absolutely that was a good round for for notes especially
23:55that last 40 seconds that's bringing in carl frampton carl how are you seeing it do you
24:00agree with richie he's just starting to look a little bit tired and shot worn in there is this
24:04shagley sam noakes is controlling everything and same as what these guys are saying he's he's been
24:10winning this fight from start to finish but what i would like to see a wee bit more it's just a
24:14little bit more variety in his attacks i think a lot of times when he goes to your body it's
24:18all a jab a right uppercut and a left hook to your body or a jab a right hook and a left hook to the
24:24body they seem to be two combinations that he's thrown quite a lot but i think just a little bit
24:28more variety just to separate shaggy a little bit more i think may may have a better effect
24:34it's one-sided and sam notes is fairly in control thank you carl in terms of working he's thrown 413
24:42more punches than the italian and he still continues to land at a high percentage
24:49sam noakes so this is the seventh scheduled for 12 notes defending his european lightweight title
24:56for the first time
24:59this could be a very difficult round for shagley uh fletch he showed signs in that previous one
25:06that he was just feeling the pace a little bit and a couple of those body shots got home
25:12and certainly you could see that he was in a little bit of distress towards the end of the
25:16round so will notes just raised his game here and really go for it and like i say this will be an
25:24important round for shagley the grimaces just becoming more frequent on the face of the italian
25:30the facial expressions changing all the time the thing with notes he hits hard and all the shots
25:37he's landing a powerful shot take their toll on you even though he's got a good record in terms
25:44of not being stopped shagley a lot of combinations are against him tonight a lot of factors he's 34
25:51not against a very hungry and hard-hitting man in notes
25:56he's looking more and more dispirited isn't he he is indeed
26:01i think notes has just got to really go for it here sustain a bit of pressure on his opponent
26:07the signs are there for me that shagley is struggling a little bit with the pace now
26:14body shot whipped in again and then the grimace on the face of shagley
26:21so
26:37very little if anything now coming back from sean lucas shagley
26:41all about survival in there at the moment yeah it is most definitely
26:50again back onto the ropes not a lot coming back from him he's trying to cover up trying
26:54to block these shots but they're getting through steadily is there a slight cut
27:01both of them might be a bit of damage to both of them you know it'll be interesting to see where
27:04that come from we spoke about earlier when the heads can clash maybe that's i mean he's already
27:09thrown a punch in this round shagley at 17 and i'll be very surprised if um it's from a from a
27:17punch yeah 17 punches he's thrown when you made that point 20 seconds to go in the seventh
27:24the fight is becoming more and more lopsided in sam noakes favor
27:30yeah
27:45and there's another round in the books for sam noakes
28:00one way traffic now isn't it for some notes i think that's where i think that the head
28:14clash may have come it's just a nick as well at this stage yes
28:20so
28:37so nothing to worry about at this stage for notes you can see it just a slight nick above the eye
28:41yeah
28:52and i said that the last round was an important round for shagley he's got through it
28:57you know he may get a little bit of confidence from that so some notes here i think he's just
29:02for me he's just got to raise that tempo again and really put his opponent under under pressure
29:07i think he's ready to go shagley i think the signs are there he's getting tired he's feeling
29:12the pace a little bit there's less punches coming back from him so the signs are there
29:17will notes you know go for it here now it seems to me at this point as though the the focus for
29:25shagley has changed opening belly was in there to try and become the european champion it feels now
29:30like he's in there to survive as long as he can very little coming back notes starting to put the
29:37combinations together he's hardly throwing a punch now the italian no there's not a lot coming back
29:44at all and this is why he's got to double up his attacks and sustain that pressure a little bit
29:50and then give the referee the question of whether he should be stepping in there because there's
29:54not a lot coming back shawn at ringside was out of his seat urging brother sam to come in and
30:01continue to fire the shots yeah i think he feels the same as you i think there's a few people around
30:07ringside sense that notes he's got to raise his game here increase the volume of punches
30:14and it could all could be all over it's a sign of his maturity though richie that he's not rushing in
30:26he's sticking to the game plan and boxing within himself officially showing good maturity and
30:30yeah fair play yeah there is that but also flex you have to sense when your opponent's weakening
30:38and when you do turn it on and turn that screw a little bit and i think now is the time that he
30:42he should be turning the screw and really asking the questions of his opponent
30:47one-way traffic final minute of the eighth
30:55so
31:12it's another round richie with 30 seconds to go where
31:15shegley's only thrown 10 punches yeah incredible
31:19less and less is coming back from shaglia
31:24he's got a bit of swelling on the top of his head as well we're kind of between the top of his head
31:27and his eyes strange position whether that's the legacy of the clash of heads the previous
31:32round that led to the nick over the eye of sam notes
31:48so
32:08i'm not sure whether it's going to be pulled out here and i'm not sure whether shagley has just
32:12said to his corner i've had enough he's calling the referee over fabian guggenheim and i think
32:19this fight is going to end here i think he's saying he's got a problem with his eye
32:23which is causing him concern and i think it's going to be waved off here
32:30whether they want the doctor to go and take a look at it yes the nose corner is waiting to be told
32:38and that's it it's all over and shaglia can go on no longer
32:46and there's a warm embrace between the two fighters sam notes has retained his european
32:51lightweight title he becomes the first man to stop shaglia for a long time and only the second
32:57man to stop him in his career and he gradually broke him down he could take no more and he gets
33:03and he gets the stoppage win he dismantled him didn't he round by round um deep down it you know
33:09he would have wanted to to have won that by either by a knockout or a stoppage but he was patient
33:15and you know at the end of the day uh fletch he's won every round as sam notes so you know he goes
33:22marching on and that world title shot gets closer we'd like to see him in with mark chamberlain
33:26that's another contest that we'd all love to see but nevertheless he's won every single round just
33:31to try and add a bit of clarity whilst not being able to understand what was being said in the
33:37corner it's the eye on the side where the damage on the head was whether that's impacted whether
33:42he can see properly out of that eye he's obviously taken the decision that he's a mile behind and
33:48he's not landing any shots or throwing too much and he's decided that he can't carry on and it
33:52did come from shaglia to his chief second and he made the point i don't want to carry on anymore
33:57yeah fair play to him you know and there was less and less coming back from shagley he was throwing
34:01less punches you know he's a tough guy but he was um on the receiving end right from the opening
34:07belt and notes just turned the screw here and there was very patient in his approach actually
34:12some notes but nevertheless you know you can't be too disappointed if you've won every single round
34:17against a challenger for the european title so he'll be well pleased and he goes marching on
34:22and that will title shot gets closer yeah and he'd be delighted to get the stoppage he loves
34:27the stoppage maybe wants to do it in more spectacular style but he'll take it all the same
34:33yeah 100 against a fairly um awkward opponent it was difficult to get to at times um and it could
34:41have been a really frustrating night for some notes but he stuck at it and he's got the win
34:44and you won't be surprised to hear that he'd won all eight rounds on everybody's card including
34:50yours yeah exactly he was never really in any trouble and uh overall then they'll be pleased
34:55that they've won every round and he was never in any trouble at all
35:02okay let's get the announcement of the official result another good night at work for sam noakes
35:08here's death ladies and gentlemen after eight completed rounds your referee fabian guggenheim
35:18accepts the retirement of the red corner therefore your winner by tko
