00:00Come on, champ.
00:04Guys, you received your instructions earlier.
00:06As a reminder, obey my commands at all times,
00:08protect yourself at all times.
00:09He's a little high, so I'm gonna allow this to be legal.
00:12Touch gloves, good luck.
00:12Togo Swamp.
00:15Ray, when someone is nicknamed the Savage,
00:18do they feel like they have to live up to it
00:20to a certain extent?
00:21Does that affect them?
00:22You have to live up to your nickname,
00:24no matter what it is.
00:25You had to look sweet while you was doing it,
00:27and this guy gotta look savage,
00:29so that's what I'm expecting here.
00:31First round of six, 143 pounds, catch weight.
00:34The Savage, the Tiger Trunks.
00:39Ray Oliveira's already commented
00:40on the impressive musculature in the legs.
00:43Let's see how much power he generates from there.
00:44It looks like he's the kind of guy that twists and torques.
00:49That Kimba is a much better MMA fighter than either boxing.
00:54I usually hate seeing MMA guys come to boxing,
00:58but with Kimba, Kimba, I'm sorry, this guy amazes me.
01:03He just looks good every time I see him.
01:05Man, you see a lot of overlap,
01:06especially in the last five years,
01:08I've seen a lot of overlap.
01:09A lot of it is because people like the money in boxing,
01:11as opposed to MMA.
01:14Once you get into it a little bit further,
01:16down here, down low, it's about the same as far as pay goes.
01:19Once you get up there, more paydays in boxing.
01:22A nice, it looks like a reach advantage here,
01:25a height advantage being used by the Savage.
01:28He definitely got the reach, he definitely got the height.
01:31With more, he probably wants to be inside,
01:33but he doesn't want to, he doesn't,
01:36doesn't, being inside for him is gonna hurt him,
01:38because Kimba just devastating right hand and left hooks,
01:42but he has to be in there,
01:43but he has to have them hands up high with that chin tight,
01:46and he's gotta work that body.
01:47Him on the toes, in boxing as he is now,
01:51he's just gonna be in range for Kimba's jab
01:53and right hand over the top.
01:55He does look a weight class or even two lower, doesn't he?
02:00He looks a little undersized versus Kimba.
02:03Because Kimba is just, he's so muscular,
02:05his veins are popping right out.
02:08And those shorts match his body too.
02:11That's why I keep saying, he's only at 143.
02:13Right.
02:19Every page, people keep looking at that opening right,
02:21Kimba, he's catching it.
02:23One minute in the round now.
02:25See, he does want to stay away,
02:27but can he win that way?
02:29Bouncing around the toes.
02:32Oh, mercy, that was a lovely one too.
02:34Yes.
02:35Hand speed and accuracy.
02:37If he's inside, we'll see that right hand won't reach,
02:41but when he's inside, he's vulnerable to that left hook.
02:43And you like the patience from Kimba so far,
02:45so do I, Matt.
02:46Very, very patient.
02:47He's using that jab like a front kick.
02:49They say that, they tell me,
02:50hey guys, use that jab.
02:52Oh, it's done.
02:54Over, over.
02:56It's done.
02:57We saw him hit his head.
02:58We heard the impact.
03:00He started stiffening up right away.
03:04We're gonna get the doctors over and looking at him.
03:06Everything's okay.
03:17That was a devastating punch.
03:21Everything's fine.
03:25About to be getting some air into those lungs now.
03:29It was a very hard knock out.
03:30They're counting the EMTs over right now.
03:32He stiffened up immediately, Ray.
03:34If you could describe to the people
03:35what happens when you're knocked out at that severe level.
03:41He's stiffened up,
03:42but they're trying to help him not swallow that tongue.
03:45They're trying to stiffen,
03:47they're just gonna keep him stiff
03:49and roll him over to the side
03:50and hopefully he doesn't swallow his tongue right now.
03:53The stuff that you do automatically can stop.
03:56Here, let's see the replay.
03:58He brought the jab and the right hand behind it
04:03and you see it for yourself.
04:04That right hand came over the bridge of the ear.
04:08Right there, right in the back of the head.
04:11Very adeptly delivered.
04:13And our man is breathing.
04:14We do see grates coming from his chest area.
04:19Which is beautiful.
04:20And they're gonna get a neck brace on him.
04:22For precaution, they gotta put a neck brace on him
04:25and keep him totally still.
04:27But we do see him breathing.
04:28Yes.
04:31You know, in crosses, we all want a knock out.
04:34But we also want our opponents,
04:36like I tell my fighters,
04:37you don't pray to God for a win.
04:40You pray to God that you both can all see.
04:44And we see more talking now, Ray.
04:46He is talking to the doctor
04:49who is shining light in,
04:49making sure the pupils react.
04:52Showing proper neurological signs, as you could say.
04:57He's probably asking, you know,
04:59where you're at, what's the date.
05:01See if he can answer them and stay calm.
05:06Ray, we saw it right away.
05:07We saw the way the head hit.
05:09Once the head hits like that,
05:11most of the time, that's it.
05:12Yeah, when you go down,
05:14what the ref or the outside people are looking for,
05:17you can see right here,
05:18is the way the back of his head hit the ring.
05:20When the back of your head, that's the damage.
05:22It's not the punch.
05:24The punch begins it.
05:26How your head hits the back of the mat,
05:29when it hits the back, that's when it's over.
05:31Because there are degrees of severity
05:32of getting knocked out.
05:33You can get knocked out, but you still have,
05:35you can hold, you're holding your neck muscles.
05:37But if you're out, out, out, you lose that.
05:41And your head, the back of your head hits the mat.
05:43And that's that jerking part.
05:46143 pounder, Mike Kimble.
05:48We talked about the power.
05:49You saw it in evidence, friends.
06:08That's interesting.
06:11One of the Athletic Commission members
06:12was talking to a fan who was taking footage
06:15of Maura on the stretcher, saying,
06:16if you were on the stretcher, would you want that?
06:18Exactly.
06:19You know, I used to tell my fans,
06:21you know, they had a root for me.
06:25And I hated when my fans booed my opponent.
06:28I always told my people, I always knew that.
06:30Never boo my opponent.
06:32You don't have to cheer for him.
06:33Cheer for me, but you don't boo him.
06:35You don't wish harm on nobody.
06:37Like I said before, you don't wish for the win.
06:40You try for the win.
06:41God only wants his boat to come out of here safe.
06:43And you also want this,
06:45you don't want nothing like that happens.
06:46Steve went down.
06:47It hurt me seeing this.
06:49Well, and we got to say, of course,
06:51it's a different age than when you started in 1990.
06:54Last fight was 2004.
06:56My friend, no one was carrying around,
06:58there weren't all those cell phones
06:59and people tape and everything.
07:00People tape everything now.
07:02I think sometimes they don't really understand
07:04that maybe it could be a little lack of protocol there.
07:09Listen, I'm a journalist, okay?
07:10So I want to see what's going on.
07:12I want to explain it to people.
07:14I don't want to exploit it.
07:15So maybe it's an interesting situation there.
07:19But what I like to see is Maura is breathing.
07:21We did see him talking.
07:23And so we'll keep you updated on that situation.
07:28And the people are clapping
07:29and we're waiting for the best case scenario there.
07:33Looks to be on that track.
07:36You don't play boxing, do you, my friend?
07:37No, I told, there's people in my gym
07:40that come there every day in their 50s sparring.
07:43And I go, why do you want to do this at that age?
07:47It's fun.
07:48You see how I walk?
07:50That's not fun.
07:54You take golf clubs and tennis rackets on vacation.
07:57You don't take boxing gloves.
07:59Well, we talked about it.
08:00It's sometimes it's what,
08:02you're looking for a little bit of something
08:04you didn't have as a kid.
08:06Maybe you're trying to turn back the clock.
08:09It's a funny thing, but it ain't a funny thing
08:11when the guy goes down hard like that.
08:13No, you do not.
08:14Do you see Kimbo?
08:15He did his, always his back flip.
08:18He waited a proper amount of time.
08:20He definitely did.
08:21Maura was out of the ring.
08:22He's more, right now, he's happy with the win,
08:25but more than likely, I bet you,
08:27he's more concerned about his opponent.
08:29We want the win, but we don't want-
08:31I don't know, bro.
08:32He looks pretty happy here.
08:33He's happy.
08:34He's happy, but he's also, you know,
08:36worrying about his opponent.
08:38As soon as he gets out of the ring,
08:40that's probably gonna be one of the first things
08:42he does is check on him.
08:43If I had to guess, Mr. Anthony,
08:45Maura might not be fighting again
08:48after a knockout like that.
08:50He'll be on suspension probably.
08:52It sounds bad, but-
08:53Does the guy wanna come back after a fight like that,
08:55or no?
08:56I see a lot of guys, a knockout like that,
08:58it's done, it's over.
08:59No, he'll probably come back.
09:00Because also, family, he's telling you too, right?
09:02Family don't want that.
09:03He has six months of break time.
09:08And Margaret is gonna talk to the referee.
09:10We're gonna get some more information on what went down.
09:13Mike Kimble, after putting Anthony Maura down.
09:27Mike Jack, my-
09:27Okay, here we are.
09:29Ladies and gentlemen, at two minutes and 22 seconds
09:31into round number one, your winner by knockout,
09:36Mike, the Savage, Kimble!
