00:00Condon's instructions.
00:02Let's rock and roll. Let's go. Let's go.
00:12And rock and roll, they absolutely will at heavyweight.
00:16It is time for Granch and Mailer.
00:19And this one will go bang.
00:21Here we go.
00:25Straight out the center ring.
00:27Mailer's a puncher.
00:29We know what Granch can do as he gets through with that right hand.
00:33Nice powerful right hand to start this fight.
00:36On the inside they are for a moment.
00:39They just wrestle here, the two big men.
00:46One, two and three from Granch's.
00:48Mailer comes back with a left hook.
00:50He's got a big overhand right that he'll look for too against the taller man.
00:54Don't blink because this could just finish in any split second.
00:58These guys have got devastating power.
01:00I think so.
01:02The physique of Mailer.
01:06That one came from Timbuktu.
01:08He just looks every bit the puncher, doesn't he?
01:11And we know the power that Granch possesses.
01:15We sure do.
01:17No one knows better than Liam Talibaha, a winner earlier on on this card.
01:22An impressive performance from Talibaha.
01:25When he got caught with Granch's left hook, it was good night nurse.
01:29It was a perfectly timed left hook.
01:31Mailer on the inside.
01:33Short shot it was too as Granch found himself against the ropes.
01:37Great strategy from both.
01:39Obviously Granch using that range with the jab.
01:42And you've got Mailer trying to find his way in the inside.
01:44Big shots over the top.
01:46Looking for those big ones, isn't he?
01:50Nice work from Granch.
01:52Punching there from Granch.
01:54Just some short punches on the inside.
01:56They do tangle here.
01:58And they're really trying to assert their dominance, these two.
02:01And Chris Condon, our referee, well, he's the right man for the job.
02:05Getting in between this pair.
02:08There's a shot.
02:10Good left hook to the body from Granch.
02:12Miss with that one over the top as Mailer gets through with the right hand.
02:17Good shot from Mailer again.
02:19Again, yeah, chopping right hand.
02:21Finding that right hand.
02:22There's the left hook from Granch.
02:24There's the left hook, all right.
02:25I was waiting for it.
02:26He's thrown it a couple of times.
02:27That one landed.
02:28But Mailer took it well.
02:30Yeah, he's just happy hunting with that right hand was Mailer.
02:34And Granch found the moment to return serve with that left hook.
02:40Misses over the top.
02:42There.
02:43Does Granch.
02:45Mailer tries to work with that free hand again, that right hand.
02:52Oh, a nice shot from Granch.
02:54Excellent body shot from Granch.
02:57John Mailer does not want to slow down here because Granch will not.
03:0515 seconds left in the opening rounds.
03:08Close round, but Granch has, you know, come the second half of the round,
03:11he seems to have gotten on target a bit.
03:15Mailer shuffles towards again.
03:19Oh!
03:20We do get through the first three minutes of this one.
03:23Plenty expected we would not.
03:27Plenty of firepower from both of our heavyweights.
03:34Now, when we're on the outside, okay, he's got a couple of, like, flurries.
03:38They're generally going to be a big overhand right or a big left, okay.
03:42And he's going to do that a few times a round, that's all.
03:45He doesn't want a high work rate.
03:47His work rate is going to be in the clinch, okay.
03:50You really need to start to take a few shots from the outside,
03:54but keep him straight for now, okay.
03:56It's too early to be leading with left, with rounded shots.
03:59So start to move the jab, move the jab, but back yourself, chin down,
04:03shoulders nice and high, and plant the one-two, okay.
04:06If you think that he's going to bog down, then fork it.
04:09Second down for round two.
04:12Yeah, good stuff from Trane and Nathan swaddling in the corner there
04:16of Brandon Gratsch.
04:18Yeah, very cool and calm and good advice.
04:22Here we go.
04:23Mailer beckons him forward, and they meet at centering again.
04:28There's that right hand of Mailer, the overhand right,
04:31that is his signature punch.
04:34Body shot from Gratsch is a good one, and he finds a home
04:39for a couple of shots there as Mailer waited a moment
04:42after throwing a right hand.
04:46He really is impressive with Gratsch.
04:48He can fight on the outside so well, but he's so good on the inside as well.
04:51He certainly is.
04:52He chooses to throw the combos.
04:53Yeah, Alex, he's impressive, and he's calm.
04:56There's a shot that gets through.
04:59Good punches from Gratsch.
05:00Mailer threw himself off his feet, but Gratsch just found him
05:04as he got in close.
05:05Then Mailer comes back.
05:07There's that right hand, the overhand right.
05:09He's hurt.
05:10From John Mailer.
05:11Now Gratsch, who's going to have to dig deep,
05:14and he's going to have to hang on.
05:15Yeah, he was definitely badly hurt there.
05:18Big shot from Mailer.
05:20Gratsch, he may have recovered, but he was rocked for a moment.
05:26Let's see if he's all back.
05:27We know how dangerous he is when he's hurt, though.
05:30That really was beautiful work from Mailer.
05:32I don't know if you've noticed, he just hops to the side,
05:34shifts right off center, and fires a nice big hook.
05:38There's another that gets through.
05:39Gratsch comes back.
05:40Mailer with a right hand, too.
05:42Mailer's got a good chin.
05:44And he's got a good right hand.
05:46He's got a vicious right hand.
05:48This is a ripper.
05:49Mailer has scored with some big shots here in the second round.
05:53He leaps out with a hook.
05:55And now the bull, Brandon Gratsch.
05:57He has to work.
05:59He has to stay away from that shot.
06:02He's a bit like Joe Frazier is Mailer,
06:04walking up relentlessly with the rip and hook.
06:08Brandon Gratsch using a bit of reach there.
06:11Great second round so far for Mailer.
06:15Gratsch just gets on the jab.
06:17Tries to keep him away.
06:19We know Gratsch can turn it around with one punch.
06:21Both these guys can finish it with one clean shot.
06:28Gratsch has felt the power of Mailer.
06:32And he's still upright.
06:33He's done well to do that.
06:37Definitely feels bad on him.
06:39Mailer sat down on another right hand.
06:43I was just about to say, has Gratsch maybe lost a bit of power?
06:46And then he lands some nice shots.
06:48We thought that against Talibah as well.
06:51But he came out with the perfect left hook in that fight.
06:55That was a picture perfect left hook.
06:59He is watchful here.
07:01As he finds the body of Mailer again.
07:04As Mailer tried to find another big shot over the top.
07:11They'll both be happy to hang on here and eat a bit of time.
07:19That is a good round from John Mailer.
07:21It certainly was a good round.
07:23But Gratsch is still very dangerous at any second.
07:28Much better stuff from the American Samoan born Queenslander.
07:35And here's Corbin Kaye in his corner.
07:37I want you to listen and keep the breathing going.
07:39Remember we talked.
07:41If he's going to go backwards and play it safe.
07:44I just need you to stay nice and low.
07:46And I need you to keep edging it forward.
07:48You're doing really well.
07:50Sitting there on the chest is where you need to be.
07:53So he's starting to make you miss because he's edging off a little bit.
07:56So just make sure you stay up behind your shots.
07:59You keep working it forward John.
08:01Remember what we talked about.
08:03You will knock this bloke out if you shoot it with a bit of speed.
08:06The minute you try and punch too hard you're going to unload him too much.
08:09Bring the left side behind it.
08:11We're two and three together.
08:17That's one spot you don't want to be with someone like Mailer.
08:21Big shots coming over the top.
08:23Nice and grounded power over here.
08:26Right on the end of those shots was Brandon Gratsch.
08:29But to his credit he wore them.
08:32Got through that round.
08:34Sure did.
08:35And there's plenty of action to come in this heavyweight contest
08:38as Gratsch looks for that tight left hook.
08:41Now Mailer tries to find his way back to the inside
08:44as Gratsch goes to the body and that one's a bit low.
08:47Two good body shots.
08:49Maybe about to go.
08:51Better clean shots here from Brandon Gratsch.
08:55Lead left hook two from Mailer.
08:59Gratsch with a jab.
09:01And then he turns around the hook.
09:04Mailer has worn these shots well.
09:07That's a good right hand from Gratsch.
09:09Lovely right to the body.
09:11So much on that punch.
09:22Back at punching range for both of them.
09:24It's a right hand from Gratsch.
09:26Punched down nicely onto Mailer.
09:28And he goes to the body and over the top.
09:30Beautiful stuff from Gratsch.
09:32Brilliant combination.
09:33That short right hand is fine on the mark now, isn't it?
09:36Yes, it is.
09:37He's starting to get on target more at Brandon Gratsch.
09:40He's jabbing well at times as well
09:42and punching strongly to the body as well.
09:45Mailer is on the inside where his corner wanted him to be.
09:49But he's had success with Gratsch on the end of his punches.
09:54That's a good read from Gratsch.
09:56Not over, not trying to put too much in the punch.
09:58Just getting it A to B as quick as he can.
10:01Nice, short and sharp. Fine on the mark.
10:03Mailer's work rate seems to have dropped a little bit this round.
10:06And he's taken some shots too and a couple to the body.
10:09And that's a shot on the break for the A.
10:11He'll continue on and Mailer beckons him forward.
10:16Good stuff, Gratsch, again.
10:18Yes.
10:19Combination punching, picking his shots
10:21and boxing against the big man, the big puncher.
10:24Beautiful work there by Gratsch. Lovely jab.
10:27Controlling this round.
10:30Mailer's happy to get on the inside.
10:32He'll put his head on the inside.
10:35The left hook from Gratsch.
10:37We've seen the left hook before and there it was.
10:39And Mailer was in all sorts of trouble.
10:42John Mayer was gone, Braden Gratsch.
10:45He goes to work here.
10:47Mailer will have to hang on.
10:50But Gratsch has him on the end of his punches.
10:53That's it.
10:54And you mess with the bull and you get the horns.
10:57Wow.
10:58Braden Gratsch.
10:59The bull, all right.
11:00What a nickname for him.
11:03He is a beast.
11:04A devastating finish from Braden Gratsch.
11:08He had to weather a storm from John Mailer
11:12who found his target time and time again.
11:15And Gratsch, he just showed what a tough man he is.
11:19What a big puncher he is.
11:21And also what composure he had under pressure, Ben.
11:24And again, it was the left hook that started it all.
11:27It didn't finish everything this time.
11:30But it was the beginning of the end for Mailer.
11:35Wow.
11:36This is the way it all finished off.
11:40His legs were gone straight away.
11:42Mailer stayed up.
11:43He looked like he was gone straight away,
11:45but he stayed up.
11:46To his credit.
11:47There it is.
11:48Perfectly timed left hook.
11:50Beautiful shot.
11:51It's that same shot that we saw against Talibah.
11:54Certainly is.
11:55And then he just poured it on.
12:02He looked for a minute just here like he might get out of this, Mailer.
12:06I didn't think so.
12:07Gratsch started to find the target with these ones.
12:10And then there was no choice but to jump in for our referee.
12:15And it's another stoppage victory for Brandon Gratsch as Sam Goodman
12:26and his trainer Luke Phipps enjoy the moment.
12:37Really good fight that one.
12:38As we thought it would be.
12:40Mailer probably surprised a few.
12:42He was brilliant in that second round.
12:44Until he got caught with the left hook from Hell.
12:47He was right in this fight.
12:48He was.
12:49He was right in the fight.
12:50There's no doubt about that.
12:51But as we know with these big blokes, Owen and Ben,
12:53one left hook.
12:54We're going to show it again.
12:55But one punch just changes the pattern of a fight.
12:58Especially a punch like that.
13:00Yeah, like that.
13:01Have a look at him.
13:02How does he stay up?
13:04Incredible guts and heart from Mailer.
13:06I thought he did some great adjustments there, Gratsch.
13:09Like he showed, as you said, composure.
13:11Like experience.
13:12He has been fighting for a while.
13:13But he hasn't had too many professional bouts.
13:15But fights like an experienced guy.
13:17And that goes a long way in the heavyweight division.
13:19He was a very good amateur before he dipped away from the sport.
13:22But he's only been back for his three pro fights.
13:24So it's all come back quickly.
13:26And you have to give some credit too to his trainer Nathan Swadling,
13:29who we heard in the corner between rounds with that really stern
13:34but smart advice.
13:35Very smart advice.
13:38There's injuries all around no doubt as they embrace.
13:41Let's make it official.
13:42He's Lieutenant Dan.
13:44Fighters to the center ring please.
14:04Ladies and gentlemen, the end comes with two minutes and 33 seconds
14:08into round number three.
14:10Your winner by straight knockout, fighting out of the blue corner,
14:14Brandon The Bull Gratsch.
14:27Good fight.
14:28That's an understatement.
14:29And you're making a habit of being in these.
14:31What did that feel like tonight?
