00:00who is 26, Calito,
00:05is ranked number 12 WBO
00:09and number 11 WBA.
00:12This is the second time in Nicaragua
00:14he won the WBO Latino title
00:17against Gerardo Sanchez
00:19via TKO in the seventh round.
00:25On the contrary, Carmona.
00:27Carmona was very busy last year with four bouts.
00:29And this is the third round out of eight
00:32for the WBO Latino championship
00:35in the minimum weight.
00:39The WBO Latino, right?
00:42And we do have the WBO minimum world champion here, ringside,
00:47Oscar Collazo,
00:49who's gonna be keeping an eye on this guy
00:50because he might fight the winner of this one
00:53to defend his title for his next fight.
00:54And I believe that's the reason why he's here,
00:56just to study his contraries, I guess.
00:59And he's gonna fight in the center of the ring.
01:03Michael Carmona is the one with black and white.
01:06Edwin Cano is the one with black and silver.
01:10He's got his name on the front.
01:13Although Cano has a longer reach,
01:17Carmona seems the one with the longer arms.
01:23Nice.
01:24Oh, wow, that was a quick right hand by Carmona,
01:29keeping Canito in check there.
01:32Yeah, Carmona out of the southpaw stance,
01:36trying to use his, like you said, his long jab
01:38and his one-two down the middle.
01:41Nice jab again.
01:43Good combinations.
01:45Trying to keep the fight at bay.
01:46And, you know, what I like that Carmona is doing
01:49is he keeps turning him.
01:51You know, he keeps...
01:53He doesn't stay in the same spot that long.
01:55Yeah, he's...
01:56He doesn't stay in front of Cano.
01:59He becomes a movable target, which is much difficult
02:03to land a punch of.
02:05Oh, nice combination.
02:07Yeah, I love the lead hand.
02:09It was right on the chin of Canito.
02:11You saw Canito laugh.
02:13You know, every time a fighter laughs, trust me,
02:14that means it hurt him.
02:15It bothered him.
02:17Oh, yeah.
02:18Yeah, don't let that fool you.
02:21Canito trying to come back from that right hand
02:26with a more aggressive determination there
02:31to get the fight inside.
02:32Oh, a left hand, and again, Canito is laughing.
02:37That was a good, fast, explosive one-two by Carmona.
02:42That good, fast, explosive combinations.
02:44Canito did not see that combination.
02:47Carmona is really fast.
02:48Yes.
02:49He's really fast for a boxer with only five fights.
02:53I mean, he looks much more grown up in the ring, you know?
02:59Very mature, very mature, only being 20 years of age,
03:03only five professional fights.
03:07He's very focused in there, taking his time,
03:09taking his shots, nice body shot there by Carmona.
03:14Yeah, and Canito is kind of desperate to get back
03:16into the round, 10 seconds to go.
03:19Again, the right hand from Carmona.
03:24Again, and a combination.
03:25And this is really nice with the left wrist.
03:28Wow.
03:30Impressive first round by Michael Carmona
03:32getting the crowd behind him as well.
03:34Yeah, very good round.
03:38Did some good work in that round.
03:40Carmona, great combinations, fought very smart,
03:45you know, taking his time.
03:48I like that accolade that you used there.
03:51Very smart round.
03:53Yes.
03:54He tried from the outside, and then he
03:57noticed that he could come a little bit closer
04:00to get better shots at Cano, which he did masterfully.
04:06And in my opinion, he got away with the round.
04:09Oh, absolutely, yeah, that was a good round.
04:10That was a really good round for Carmona.
04:12He needs to keep that pace, keep fighting like that.
04:15Canito, I mean, he needs to slap it
04:18every time he gets hit.
04:19That's not going to get him anywhere.
04:20He needs to figure out the puzzle.
04:23Oh, yeah, this is an intriguing puzzle,
04:26because, again, 20 years old, Carmona
04:30looks more and more, much more mature than only five
04:34fights and 20 years of age.
04:39A little bit more aggressive this round,
04:41and again, Cano trying to get him in,
04:46get him into the inside.
04:49That was a right hand, nice right hand by Cano.
04:53That was a good one, good adjustment there.
04:56Yeah, once Canito gets in there, he's got to stay in there.
04:58He's got to go to war.
04:59Now he's forcing Carmona to go to war, too, go toe to toe.
05:04That's why he's been surprising sometimes, you know.
05:07He's got to keep that pressure on him,
05:08and not take the risk of trading too long with Canito.
05:12Yeah, and here is where Canito is using his experience.
05:16You know, he knows that the first round,
05:19you know, not being aggressive,
05:21Carmona got away with the round,
05:22so let's be aggressive on this one, you know?
05:25Yes.
05:26So we can get things even.
05:28Yeah, he's got to keep that pressure on him.
05:29You know, the fight for Canito is definitely
05:31not for the outside.
05:32He's got to cut that distance, mid, short range.
05:36Hit him to the body, hit him to the arms.
05:39Just hit Carmona anywhere.
05:41Don't let Carmona think.
05:43Push him back.
05:45Activity, activity, that's what he needs.
05:47Yeah, constant activity, and when he backs out,
05:50be careful with that long right hand from Carmona,
05:55because he caught him already twice in this round.
05:59Very interesting.
06:00Oh, there's the right hand by Carmona.
06:05Got Canito coming in.
06:08Again, the left hand.
06:09Nice hand by Cano.
06:11This is a, this is, the match is getting hot.
06:13Yeah, yeah, Cano's making a fight.
06:15Look at the, look at the body shots by Cano.
06:17I'll tell you what, he's invested
06:19in some good body shots early on.
06:21Let's see how they pay off in the second half of the fight.
06:24He's trying to take Carmona's legs away and his speed.
06:28Absolutely, because Carmona is very active, you know?
06:31He was moving a lot in the first round,
06:34and notice that after those body shots,
06:36he had slowed down a little bit, all right?
06:39But very interesting second round in a change of body shots.
06:43Oh, there's those body shots again by Canito.
06:45Canito, it's, yeah, he's reading this round very well.
06:51Focusing his attack to the body,
06:53and then now it's coming to the face, to the head.
06:57Yeah, Canito also fighting out of his southpaw stance too.
07:02Great adjustment there.
07:04And doing the body shots again.
07:06He's having a good body attack in this round,
07:09and he needs to keep those kind of punches going.
07:12Look at that, there he goes.
07:13Yep, yep, he's got his confidence back.
07:17He has a few seconds to go in the second round.
07:23Nice hand from Carmona there at the end.
07:28Interesting round, I loved it, I loved it.
07:31Cano didn't, you know, back up,
07:34didn't, you know, feel the pressure
07:37of, you know, being in Carmona's house.
07:39He brought the fight to him.
07:41Those body shots that I'm talking about,
07:43once he gets in close,
07:44he's really letting those body shots go again.
07:47He's gotta keep investing.
07:49I'm telling you, two or three more rounds like that
07:51of body shots, you will see Carmona drastically stop.
07:56He's not gonna be able to move like he was at the beginning.
07:59I even saw it in this round.
08:00He wasn't moving the same.
08:01Yeah, towards the end, like one minute left,
08:04he was just in the center of the ring,
08:06not even bobbing his head,
08:08not even trying to use his jaw, okay?
08:12But, um, in the meantime, while we get to the third round,
08:17I'll just mention the champions in this weight category.
08:21The WBA is Tamamon Niyomtrang.
08:24He's the super champ.
08:27WBC's got Melvin Yerusalem,
08:31IBF's Jinjiro Kihioka,
08:34and the W, as you mentioned at the beginning of the fight,
08:38Oscar Collazo, who is in attendance.
08:41There's Ghost.
08:42There's that pressure.
08:43Pressure bust pipes.
08:46That's what I'm talking about.
08:47Look at that. Body shots, too.
08:48Two and three at the same, you know.
08:50I'm telling you what, Dino, as soon as the bell rang,
08:53Caneto didn't waste no time.
08:55He cut that distance faster.
08:56He's so progressive.
08:57If he keeps doing those kinds of attacks,
08:59it's gonna make it easier for him.
09:01Yeah, and I notice now that Carmona's right hand
09:05is his guard.
09:07He's bringing it down, you know,
09:09trying to protect that middle part of his body.
09:12More body shots again by Caneto, man.
09:14I'm telling you, that's, uh,
09:17you know, what do I call it?
09:18Mexican-style boxing, you know.
09:20A lot of Mexicans, when they come forward
09:22and they're good, attack great to the body,
09:25they're willing to take three or four shots
09:28to deliver one shot, to land.
09:31Yeah, it's the Mexican cooking.
09:33There you go.
09:34Right in.
09:36Again, Cano is moving to the left,
09:38moving to the right,
09:40not making Carmona think, you know,
09:42from which angle he's gonna come in.
09:45That's good from Cano.
09:47Carmona's gotta be more aggressive,
09:48gotta throw more, you know, jobs,
09:51try to use more his long arms.
09:53He's not using them anymore.
09:55Yeah, oh, nice jab again, good body shots.
09:57I think Caneto's taking his confidence away.
09:59It's only the third round.
10:00We got five more rounds to go.
10:03He's breaking them.
10:05It looks that way. It looks that way.
10:06Because the total body,
10:09the total shots thrown by Carmona
10:12has diminished increasingly in this round.
10:16I mean, he's, like, thinking,
10:19should I throw this hand?
10:21You know, not being aggressive.
10:23He's being too hesitant.
10:24He's thinking too much and not just being explosive.
10:27If he was more, you know, speed is power.
10:29He's being explosive like that one-two
10:31that he landed in the first round,
10:33but he's not doing that.
10:34He's hesitant.
10:36It's almost like he's scared to throw
10:37because he's afraid to get pounded.
10:40There is, again, Cano trying to get the body shot inside.
10:44Oh, there you go. That's what he has to do.
10:45That was a good left hand by Carmona,
10:48but Caneto comes back with a triple forward hook.
10:52Exactly.
10:53Oh, nice one, too.
10:54Ooh, that combination was solid.
10:57Clear punches to Carmona's face.
11:02I'm telling you, man, those little guys, man,
11:04they throw punches.
11:05They're busy in there.
11:07Absolutely.
11:08They have big heart, great conditioning.
11:11There's something there. Headbutt.
11:12Yeah.
11:13Everything's clear now in the center of the ring.
11:16Nice combination there by Cano.
11:19Carmona is a bit stagnant.
11:23Not being aggressive, and this is the third round.
11:27Caneto's in the center of the ring.
11:28Nice continuation by Cano in this third round.
11:33He kind of expanded a little bit
11:36what he did in the second round.
11:39In this third round, he took away Carmona's initiative.
11:42He took away Carmona's long-distance shots.
11:46And also, did you see Carmona?
11:48He's now, he's, you know, in one spot.
11:50He's not moving the same.
11:52Yeah. The body shots that Cano landed in the second round
11:56in the early stages of the third round
11:59are kind of diminishing in Carmona's mobility,
12:03you know, agility, and aggressiveness.
12:06So he's got to come up now.
12:08Now, Carmona's got to make adjustments
12:11to Cano's attack, to Cano's strategy.
12:16He's got to get that confidence back, man.
12:17He's got to use his speed.
12:19He's got to use his footwork.
12:21He's got to just deliver all that.
12:22You know, have an arsenal of different ways of attacking,
12:26attack what he's supposed to.
12:29Because I'm telling you, Cano ain't going nowhere.
12:34Yeah, he's saying...
12:35Cano, he's like the energizer, buddy.
12:36He's got to keep coming forward.
12:37He's not stopped.
12:38In front of him, right in front of him.
12:41By the way, I gave the third round to Cano as well.
12:44I agree. I totally agree.
12:46Ooh, that was a good right hand,
12:48cross right hand from Carmona.
12:51But each time Canito gets a hand,
12:53that kind of fires him up.
12:55Yeah, he wakes him up.
12:57Yeah.
12:58He wakes him up. Carmona wakes him up.
13:00Again, Carmona, his hands are too low,
13:04like, protecting his, you know, abdomen and side
13:09from Cano's body shots.
13:13Ooh, left hand.
13:14And again, both of them landed two shots there
13:17in the center of the ring.
13:19Cano really sitting on his shots now,
13:21trying to land power shots
13:22to the body and to the head.
13:23Nice one-two.
13:25Boom!
13:26The best combination of the night.
13:29Just...
13:30Oh, they're going toe-to-toe now.
13:32This could be a problem for Carmona.
13:35He doesn't want to go toe-to-toe with Canito,
13:37I'm telling you.
13:39Yeah, Canito's landing the bigger punches.
13:41Again, that big right hand to Carmona's face.
13:46Carmona's not...
13:47He's trying to come back,
13:48but with not as much power as Cano.
13:53Nice round so far.
13:55Clean fight so far.
13:59Nice body shot there from Carmona,
14:02trying to come back in the round.
14:03Ooh, the left hand from Canito.
14:07I think it got Carmona hurt.
14:12Again, the jab, the lead hand,
14:16taking advantage of that poor defense from Carmona.
14:19There you go, a combination to the bottom,
14:21to the body, and then finishing up on the face.
14:24Again, Cano getting the initiative there.
14:28Man, look at Cano just pouring it on,
14:32taking advantage of the moment.
14:34A lot of activity.
14:35Now he's taking a little breather.
14:37You know, he did...
14:38I mean, he was constant for about 30 seconds,
14:41and he was able to score big misses there by Carmona.
14:45Yeah, he did get the first...
14:47Oh, the right hand,
14:48and Carmona goes to the canvas.
14:51The referee didn't even count.
14:54That is it.
14:56He didn't even count.
14:57He declared the knockout immediately.
15:02As Carmona went to the floor,
15:05the referee called the fight.
15:08Big right hand right to the chin of Carmona.
15:14Incredible performance by Canito.
15:17Big win for Canito.
15:20Absolutely.
15:21That man precision himself into getting the shot
15:23with the WBO minimum champion
15:27that's here ringside, Oscar Callazo.
15:30Callazo better watch out.
15:32The Mexico-Puerto Rico rivalry I was talking about.
15:35There you go.
15:36And, yes, we might have that again pretty soon.
15:40September or October might be a good date for that.
15:56Yeah.
15:59That was a big right hand there, Diamante.
16:02That was such a clean right hand.
16:06Caught Carmona with his hands down.
16:10No interference to the shot.
16:12It was just devastating.
16:13I mean, I'm telling you, I saw that coming
16:15because Carmona was putting his hands down
16:17as the rounds went.
16:18He was getting tired,
16:19and I saw Canito landed those big shots,
16:22sitting down more on his shots,
16:24and you saw the way he sat down on that power shot
16:27that sent Carmona to the ground,
16:29and he had no reason to continue.
16:32Yeah, meanwhile, Carmona is still on the canvas.
16:36I'm just, you know, hoping that he's doing okay.
16:39You know, the doctor is tending to him right now.
16:42Taking precautionary measures,
16:44and, yeah, you're right, I hope he's okay.
16:47Yeah, only me.
16:48You see Paco from the WBO helping him out, too,
16:53throwing some air on him,
16:55trying to talk to him,
16:56trying to keep him, you know, conscious.
17:01Yeah, yeah, and apparently he's, you know,
17:04responding to the cues from the doctor.
17:08They're trying to get the...
17:11his right arm to move better.
17:16Again, Cano, good job tonight.
17:19Very aggressive.
17:20He, you know, he lost the first round
17:23and then came back with a different game plan,
17:26adjusted it, and got away with the win by knockout.
17:31Yeah, it looks like he's up, he's ready.
17:34Yeah, he's up, he's ready. Great, great.
17:35That's good. That's good news.
17:36That's all that matters.
17:38Absolutely, absolutely.
17:40And we are getting ready to get Jimmy
17:43to announce the decision of the call.
17:49Ladies and gentlemen,
17:50damas y caballeros,
17:51tenemos el tiempo dos minutos,
17:53y dos segundos en el round número cuatro.
17:56The time is two minutes, 22 seconds in round number four.
18:00El ganador por knockout,
18:03the winner by way of knockout
18:05and still champion,
18:07Edwin Canito Cano.
18:15Tell you what, Diamante,
18:18Nicaragua seems to bring good luck to Canito
18:22because this is his second fight here.
18:25He won the W Latino title here in Nicaragua.
18:29So if I'm his manager,
18:31I want to bring all the fights here to Managua.
18:33Why not?
18:34I'll tell you what, I was very impressed by his skills.
18:37He's a good, nice, well-rounded little fighter, man.
18:41I like the way he took his time,
18:44and even the first round,
18:46you know, Carmona really came out strong,
18:47but he took his time.
18:48He knew what he was doing, and he had a plan,
18:50and it worked.
