00:00Gentlemen, I've been doing instructions, so have a clean fight, do my instructions, and good luck to both of you.
00:30Look at the sparkles. It's not quite a pink, it's probably not quite a purple either.
00:39We're scheduled six three-minute rounds. Ultratune! Sean Buckley and the team, sponsors of this contest.
00:49This is one of the ones I mark down as potential fights of the night, Andy.
00:55These two boys, they can really turn it on when they want to, and both have star quality in them.
01:05I'll tell you now, if Jason Fawcett brings what he brings inspiring to the ring, he could be anything.
01:13He is right on that world level, so just settling those nerves, obviously with experience, this kid could be anything.
01:20Because he is well and truly a gifted fighter. Two and three really good shots there in the corner there for Fawcett.
01:31He was the main sparring partner for Liam Parrow in his world title win over in Puerto Rico,
01:36so obviously that experience would have his confidence sky high for this.
01:43What an experience for Liam obviously, but what an experience for Jason as well.
01:48And unbelievable rounds all the way through camp, so that's what I'm saying.
01:52If he can bring what he brings in the gym to fight night, he'll be unstoppable.
02:07Right hand just glancing the gloves there from Villanova.
02:13Villanova's looking to keep it long, trying to keep away from that poised right hand in that one.
02:20And that was a really good right hand there by Jason Fawcett, and he's doubled it up there with two and three shots straight down the barrel.
02:28Really good start here from Jason Fawcett.
02:33As you're already starting to feel the pinch, you can see the markings on the face of Villanova already.
02:39They're evident that right hand is scored and scored well several times already.
02:45There you go!
02:55Where did that come from?
02:57We earmarked this as potential fight of the night, and that's exactly why.
03:03Villanova, one thing you've got to know, out of his 13 wins, he's had 10 knockouts.
03:08So if he's going to win, he's going to win by knockout.
03:11And he's trying to find a home for that right hand once again.
03:14You can see he's had success in this opening round.
03:17And wow! It's scored and scored heavy from Villanova.
03:25The great Jeffrey Boho right there, he's got a really good right hand.
03:29He's got a really good right hand.
03:31He's got a really good right hand.
03:33He's got a really good right hand.
03:35From Villanova.
03:37The great Jeffrey Boho right there, he was like a swimming coach on steroids
03:43when the right hand landed on Jason Fawcett and dropped him.
03:49As we see some replays of the first round, it was all Fawcett for the first two minutes.
03:55It felt like it was going to get stopped.
03:57He was really putting it on, but bang!
03:59That right hand lands and lands hard from Villanova.
04:04And like I said, he stops most of his people that he fights.
04:09So he carries massive power and it's on display once again right there.
04:14Fawcett.
04:33Should be said, another six round contest.
04:35So that knockdown, a 10-8 round can be very telling.
04:40Because it's not a long duration fight again.
04:44Mathematically, if we go to the judges' scorecards,
04:47Jason Fawcett has got a lot of work to do.
04:51He does, and he just got caught in the jab straight down the middle again.
04:55And he's trying to head home with that right hand.
04:57He's had success already, and Fawcett's trying to fight fire with fire.
05:01Good jab there from Fawcett.
05:03Oh, left hook from Fawcett, landing.
05:06But there's a right over the top from Villanova.
05:08It's a firefight here.
05:11Villanova on rubber league streak.
05:17A really good period here for Fawcett.
05:21Villanova's starting to feel the heat now.
05:24Both boys carry massive power, you can see.
05:28Brugelhoff in two rounds.
05:30Rocking the head back several times, both boys.
05:33Halfway through the round.
06:03OK? OK, let's go.
06:05Five minutes, go.
06:09Couldn't make it any clearer, Philip Holliday.
06:14Both boys of a Filipino descent, and we know Filipinos can fight,
06:18and they always come to fight.
06:20They know English, they might be saying.
06:22Yeah, exactly.
06:23Oh, right hand over the top from Villanova,
06:25and there's the receipt from Fawcett,
06:27and turns and turns well as he invests in the body.
06:31And over the top, this is a firefight.
06:36A cracking opening two rounds here.
06:40It cannot go for the whole six rounds, surely.
06:51Both boys extremely tough.
07:00Both boys having a look here.
07:03Fawcett's got his opponent where he wants to be,
07:05in the corner, but he gets back to center ring there,
07:07and throws that uppercut.
07:10Fawcett trying to draw something out, you can see.
07:12Using his balks, using his feints, trying to get something,
07:15so he can retaliate over the top.
07:23That's better from Fawcett.
07:24I'd like to see him use that jab a bit more,
07:26not just lead with that power hand, which is his right hand.
07:31Swing and a miss there from Villanova,
07:33and both boys clinching, get broken up.
07:36And it's ten seconds to go in this round.
07:39Another explosive round for both boys.
07:46Wow, what a fight so far.
07:48Amazing momentum shifts, most certainly.
07:52And what another round, round number two was.
07:57You couldn't get two better rounds, even if you paid for them.
08:03That left hook really rocking the socks of Villanova.
08:07Didn't get a knockdown, but was essentially a knockdown,
08:11because it was off his feet.
08:12The rope saved him.
08:15And Villanova, he's got to be careful.
08:17Essentially a knockdown, because it was off his feet.
08:19The rope saved him from falling there.
08:22As both boys, like I said, fighting fire with fire.
08:26There's not much defence in this.
08:28It's all offence.
08:32Surely, it's going to stop.
08:43Both corners are still calm-ish.
08:47They'll start getting jittery soon enough.
08:50Both of them.
08:52You want to see Fawcett start everything off that jab.
08:55You can see when he jabs, and then he follows the right hand,
08:58his feet are underneath him.
09:00That's a better jab there from Fawcett.
09:01That's it, he needs to double it up.
09:07When that right hand comes behind a jab,
09:09he looks so much better,
09:10because he transfers all of his weight with his punches.
09:14Get back, get back.
09:16Step back, step back.
09:22And the reason that Lee Amparo and the team
09:25got this guy in as a sparring partner,
09:29he is very much a shadow version
09:35of who Lee Amparo thought he was.
09:40He is, he's just a very offensive fighter,
09:44and that's exactly what he is.
09:48Left hook scoring there from Jason Fawcett,
09:52rocking the socks of Villanova.
09:54He's starting to get over the top here as Fawcett.
10:01He's just got to be calm.
10:02He's got to keep on jabbing here, though.
10:04He's got to get his feet underneath himself.
10:06He can't get caught up,
10:07because we know this guy holds power,
10:09and if you make one mistake, he's going to make you pay.
10:11So he's just got to keep on jabbing, is Fawcett.
10:15Right hand over the top scoring from Fawcett there.
10:17Once again, he's got his opponents back to the ropes.
10:21And a body shot.
10:22That really hurt.
10:30Just over the halfway point of
10:32Rout's freedom of body shots.
10:36This can't go the distance, surely.
10:40Both boys have been hit with heavy shots,
10:43but it's Fawcett that's come on the most
10:45in the last couple of rounds.
10:56Good jab there from Fawcett.
11:06One thing I'm noticing with Fawcett,
11:08he's trying to throw every punch heavy.
11:10Yeah.
11:11Even his jab.
11:12Sometimes you've just got to touch with the jab
11:14to set up your right hand.
11:15He's not doing that at this stage.
11:17He's trying to knock him out with his jab
11:19as well as his right hand.
11:24And it is also the quickest way to punch yourself out.
11:27Exactly.
11:28Throwing everything into each shot.
11:31Not every punch has been to me that knockout blow.
11:36And it's setting up your next shot.
11:37That's exactly right.
11:38As both boys come together for one final exchange
11:42in this third round.
11:44It's been a better round for Fawcett once again.
11:47Right hand just missing over the top.
11:50Wow.
11:51First round was a 10-8.
11:54So even if Jason Fawcett has won these next two,
11:58and there's debate over that,
12:01it's even.
12:02After three.
12:03Exactly.
12:05As we see some replays of that third round.
12:14The swing and a miss there from Villanova.
12:16But that one didn't miss.
12:18It was a glancing shot over the top from Fawcett,
12:21but it scored nonetheless.
12:22And that right hand scored as well.
12:36Second half of this fight.
12:39A fight that we are thoroughly enjoying here in Brisbane.
12:44We hope you are too, wherever you may be watching live
12:46around Australia on Seven Plus.
12:52The voice is holding up okay for the moment,
12:57but we've got more to come.
12:59The voice is holding up okay for the moment,
13:04but we've got another two fights to go after this.
13:07And our main event is going to be an absolute beauty,
13:10Dan Hill, Lewis Chadwick,
13:12for the Australian Super Welterweight title.
13:15You take a rest for the next two fights,
13:17because let me tell you,
13:18that last one you'll need all your voice for.
13:20That's going to be a cracker.
13:21Head gets rocked back there by Fawcett of Villanova.
13:29Starting to bully him to the corners now is Fawcett,
13:31and this is where he's got to work.
13:32He's got to work.
13:33He's got to bring up...
13:34At the moment, he's still very much in his orthodox stance.
13:38He's got to bring up that back foot
13:40when he's got his opponents back to the ropes
13:43and make it really hard for him to escape left or right.
13:52First fight.
13:53Oh, big shot from Fawcett,
13:55really rocking the head back of Villanova,
13:57but he's tough.
13:58Look at him.
13:59He comes back with his own shot.
14:01Two and three good shots here from Jason Fawcett.
14:05First fight out of the Philippines for Villanova,
14:07so that, too, may very well be telling tonight.
14:12Had all of his professional bouts
14:15throughout his home country of the Philippines.
14:22Shots over the top,
14:23taken on the gloves there from Fawcett.
14:28Still standing a little bit too high for my liking,
14:30as Fawcett very high in his guard.
14:31He's got to drop his knees and make that target area
14:34a lot smaller for Villanova
14:36because when he hits you, he hits you hard,
14:38just like that.
14:49Both boys come together again.
14:52Good jab there from Fawcett.
14:54Some big, big shots in that...
14:59...last little exchange.
15:06Good shots.
15:08Walks into a couple again.
15:10Yeah, two and three good shots there from Fawcett once again.
15:13He definitely holds the power.
15:14I mean, obviously, Villanova holds the knockdown
15:17in this contest,
15:18but I believe Fawcett's the heavier puncher,
15:21believe it or not.
15:24Five, two, one.
15:25Good body shot once again from Fawcett in close.
15:29And this is his game.
15:30He loves working in close.
15:32Fawcett, as he tries to swing over the top as well.
15:35Good shot from Fawcett.
15:38He's going to start doubling and tripling them up now
15:40while his opponent's back to the ropes.
15:46Another real explosive round was round four.
15:54Wowee.
16:07You see some replays of that fourth round.
16:10To me, a better round for the man in the blue corner,
16:13Jason Fawcett, rocking the head back there of Villanova
16:17and mixing it up well that round.
16:19He went to the body, he went to the head
16:21and in both places.
16:52Round number five.
16:56Round number five of six just starting off
16:58as Villanova comes out with rapid shots.
17:01Big swing and a miss there from Fawcett
17:03to open up this fifth round.
17:05And good jab there from Fawcett.
17:08Once again, like I said, really loading up on his jabs.
17:11Yeah.
17:12Not just his power hand.
17:14And that's something potentially for improvement down the track.
17:17I think he doesn't need to knock him out with every shot.
17:22But he's still trying.
17:23He is definitely trying.
17:25Both boys tangle up and fall to the floor.
17:27Does Villanova, no knockdown.
17:33Villanova didn't like that.
17:35He didn't.
17:36He's filthy on Jason Fawcett.
17:39Right here, maybe made it a little personal.
17:44Uppercut in the middle of all that.
17:46Wow.
17:47Jolt of the head back.
17:48Good shots here.
17:49He's starting to really find a home for those right hands
17:53is Jason Fawcett.
18:03Short punches there.
18:06Trying to go around the gloves, Jason Fawcett.
18:10He's got a rough.
18:16Better when he is kicking the ball.
18:19Villanova.
18:25Good shots once again from Fawcett.
18:31Villanova, you can almost see he's just trying to cop that right hand.
18:34He's trying to catch his opponent as he comes in.
18:37You can see he's almost just baiting him,
18:42waiting for him to fall onto that right hand once again.
18:47Clubbing shots in close there from Fawcett
18:49as both boys tangle and the referee separates them once again
18:53as they come forward with another exchange.
18:55That was a good uppercut there from Villanova in close.
19:02Nice straight jab from Villanova.
19:08Yeah!
19:10Fawcett's got that right ready to go.
19:13He likes throwing it straight.
19:16Certainly does.
19:17Likes throwing it straight as a counterpunch.
19:20And that's good.
19:22I like when he mixes the body to the head.
19:25When you're throwing a body shot and a head shot in the one combination,
19:28you're opening holes somewhere, Andy.
19:30And that's exactly what he did there.
19:32You can see he went to the body, went to the head.
19:34All of a sudden, opening started to appear
19:36that he could exploit straight after for Fawcett
19:38as he fights fire with fire once again.
19:41Both boys throwing massive right hands and that uppercut lands
19:45and it lands hard for Fawcett.
19:49This is brutal.
19:51Brutal.
19:53Wow.
19:56There is no feeling out from either of these boys' punches.
20:01They are fully loaded from their jab to their right hand.
20:05They've been thrown with the same amount of venom
20:08as we head into the sixth round here.
20:10But let's have a look at round five highlights first.
20:15It was really good shots over the top from Fawcett.
20:19Wow.
20:20How tough is Villanova?
20:22Anyone else would be out.
20:25But Villanova is here for the sixth round still.
20:32Wow.
20:37Big punching middleweights.
20:39I mean, really big punching middleweights.
20:48Sixth and final round.
20:50Philip Holliday is going to ask them to touch them up.
20:55Watch the heads.
20:57Go as hard as you can.
21:00You can't imagine they would need too much encouragement to do just that.
21:05Alan Villanova in purple pinky and black.
21:12The straight black for Jason Fawcett.
21:15Knocked down in round number one.
21:19He's coming hot butt down the home straight.
21:21That's for sure.
21:22He's definitely won all of the rounds after that, I feel.
21:30That's better from Jason Fawcett.
21:32Working off the jab.
21:33But he throws that right hand over the top again.
21:35You've just got to watch out here because this kid can fight and he's got a big punch.
21:40They're going to be sore boys tomorrow.
21:42Definitely.
21:43Head for a week.
21:44Those boys coming close quarters.
21:46That's better work once again from Fawcett.
21:48Working to the body and to the head.
21:50Mixing it up.
21:52Uppercut lands.
21:53Right hand lands from Fawcett.
21:56Wow.
21:57He holds some power.
21:58There's Jason Fawcett.
22:08Giving up his position there, Fawcett.
22:10Inviting Villanova out of the corner.
22:15A big swing and a miss from him.
22:18As we go into the final minute and a half of this final round.
22:24How good has this fight been?
22:25Good shot there from Fawcett over the top.
22:27The left hook landing.
22:32Good body work from Villanova.
22:34Right hand scoring over the top for him as well.
22:37Seesawing around this one.
22:48Popping off the left hand.
22:49Still very much heavy with that jab though.
22:53Yeah.
22:54I think he just needs to maybe look at this tape
22:57and take a bit away from this.
22:59He doesn't need to knock him out with every punch.
23:01You've just got to tap, tap, tap and set up that right hand.
23:07Good shots in close with Fawcett.
23:09Fight three of seven.
23:11Up next Jack Bowen and his son Gwat.
23:14And our main event Dan Hill and Lewis Chadwick
23:16for the vacant Australian Super Welterweight title.
23:20That hook there from Fawcett.
23:23He's come home really strong through the home straight as Fawcett.
23:3920 seconds to go in this contest.
23:41Both boys potentially feeling a little bit fatigued
23:45because they've been throwing shots
23:47and they've been throwing them hard for the whole six rounds.
23:51Here we go. The finish.
23:53Wow. Those right hands over the top.
23:55Both boys.
23:56But look at Fawcett opening up with one final exchange.
24:00Another cracker on Premier Boxing Series.
24:06Oh yeah.
24:07Love that.
24:12Absolutely loved it.
24:14Well done Jason.
24:15Well done Alan at their corners.
24:18A cracking fight right here in Brisbane.
24:21And after the break we're going to find out who wins.
24:36The boys will be sore.
24:38The boys will be sore.
24:41For a good week or two I would imagine.
24:45Alan Villanueva and Jason Fawcett.
24:48Two guys, if we're being honest, are big names in Australian boxing.
24:54Even the purists would struggle to identify them in a line-up.
25:01But wow, haven't they turned one on here.
25:04Just brutal.
25:07James O'Shea has the numbers in his hand.
25:10Let's go to our ring announcer.
25:41All to your winner by unanimous decision.
25:46And it goes to the blue corner.
25:49Jason Fawcett.
