00:00I expect a clean fight.
00:02Those trunks are good there. There's a line.
00:05These are a little high.
00:06You can work right there.
00:07Touch gloves now. Go back to your corner.
00:12Good work there from referee Chris Flores
00:16marking the low blow designation.
00:20And Charlie Suarez was supposed to fight Andres Cortez,
00:24the undefeated contender,
00:25a battle of undefeated contenders,
00:27but Cortez withdrew last week
00:29due to illness, and here we are with Castaneda
00:32stepping in at the last minute.
00:35Fought just 20 days ago.
00:36He says, I'm still fresh. I'm in great shape.
00:40Ready to take on any challenge.
00:41This ain't no soft touch.
00:43Castaneda, I mean, he's gotten some upsets.
00:45Yes, he has.
00:47You know, in recent history,
00:50he can fight tall on the outside.
00:53He possesses a beautiful right hand
00:55and a nice left hook to the head and also to the body,
00:58and he can also fight inside the pocket,
01:00but he has been vulnerable early.
01:03You know, I'm wondering if Suarez is going to
01:05try to get to him a little bit early.
01:07He's been caught cold.
01:08He's a bit of a slow starter.
01:10Yeah, the active duty first lieutenant
01:11in the Philippine Army,
01:13representing the Philippines in the Olympics.
01:14That's a nice overhand right from Suarez,
01:17the 36-year-old contender.
01:22Right out the gate, I just,
01:24I want to let y'all know that Suarez,
01:27every time he jabs, he tends to drop that backhand,
01:31you know, or he opens that backhand up.
01:33Again, like I told you, Castaneda has a left hook,
01:37and he knows how to time that shot very well
01:39as he's coming in behind that jab,
01:41so look out for that left hook from Castaneda.
01:46Most of Castaneda's fights have been in Laredo, Texas.
01:52Here he's coming to Arizona,
01:54just a couple of states over.
01:58That right hand is going to be looking for the left hook,
02:02but the right hand he's going to have to worry about
02:03because Suarez now is starting to find a home for it
02:06because Castaneda, what he's doing is,
02:08he's jabbing from a little bit too close.
02:10He needs to take maybe a half a step back
02:12and start off there, be a little bit safer
02:15to be able to exit after he jabs.
02:18It's a nice right hand once again.
02:20He's along the ropes, and he's getting complacent.
02:22And Tim, we talked about the long reach of Charlie Suarez.
02:25It's 67 and a half inch compared to 70 for Castaneda.
02:27That's not normal. That's not normal,
02:29and that's weird because he can hit you
02:32from a further distance.
02:33He's the shorter man tonight, but he also can stay low
02:36and get that nice body.
02:38There from Charlie Suarez.
02:41Hit that sheriff star on the front of the trunks
02:44of Jorge Castaneda, who told me,
02:46I was recently hired by the Laredo sheriffs.
02:48I start the academy in October,
02:50and I started boxing at the Webb County Pal Gym at age eight.
02:54I saw how instrumental those sheriffs definitely were.
02:58Now he's on woozy legs after a great combination
03:01from Charlie Suarez, but he doesn't go down yet.
03:07Bite down on that mouthpiece and showing some grip right now.
03:10Maybe one of those punches, those last punches that landed
03:12woke him up because he was on his way down.
03:16Castaneda holding on right now.
03:18He's not. He's not tying up.
03:19He's not moving.
03:21He's not doing what's necessary to allow this fight to continue.
03:25If I'm Suarez and I got him along the ropes,
03:28I'm opening up.
03:32Great first round for Charlie Suarez
03:34as Jorge Castaneda survives.
03:36We'll listen in to the corner of the Filipino
03:39with Delphine Bojo.
03:49All right, Timmy, let's take a look at that sequence
03:52that Charlie Suarez used to get Castaneda into trouble.
03:55Here it is. He just flicked the jab right out there.
03:58Throwaway jab just to close the distance a bit,
04:00land that right hand, and then the combination to fly afterwards.
04:04Nice attempt to follow up.
04:06Nice attempt to follow up.
04:08Nice attempt to follow up.
04:10Nice attempt to follow up.
04:12Nice attempt to follow up.
04:14Nice attempt to follow up.
04:16Nice attempt to follow up.
04:20You see that first initial shot right there,
04:22which just got Castaneda to look at it.
04:27The throwaway right left hand right there,
04:29then the right hand to come across.
04:31You see the legs of Castaneda start to buckle,
04:34but you see him start to get his wits right away.
04:36That shows us that, one, he's in very good conditioning,
04:41and also he has heart.
04:43He's coming off of a body shot second round stoppage.
04:45We talked to Coach Vangel Hernandez
04:47on August 31st in Texas.
04:49So he told us, look, I just went back to work,
04:52took a few days off, and went to the gym,
04:55got some good sparring in, and I have the conditioning still.
04:59Nice left hand now from Castaneda staying at range, Tim.
05:02Yeah, he's going to have to stay at range,
05:04and even if he's at range, he's got to deal with it.
05:0674-inch reach of Suarez.
05:11Suarez really reactive.
05:13What I mean by that is that, you know,
05:15when his opposition is letting his hands go,
05:17he knows there's opportunities to be able to land,
05:19so he might block a couple of them,
05:21but he's going to come right back.
05:23So if you stay in range, he's going to be on you.
05:27Nice left.
05:28There it is right there, yep.
05:30Again, and he also has long arms, too,
05:32so his setup is a little further out.
05:34He doesn't have to step all the way in with his shots
05:37to close the distance on you.
05:43Castaneda going to get ate up by that right hand all night.
05:48He sure is, and Suarez has already proven
05:50that he can do damage with it.
05:51Nine knockouts and 17 victories for the Filipino.
05:54Step back, step back, step back.
05:56First lieutenant in the Army.
05:58But again, Castaneda does have some pop,
06:02and he definitely needs to be respected,
06:04so pay homage to your defense as well after your offense.
06:07If I'm Suarez, that's what I would be doing.
06:09I'd be making sure I take care of my defense afterwards,
06:12because he can land a shot in between those shots
06:14or in between those punches, and he can hurt you.
06:17He has some pop on those punches.
06:19Yeah, he's got 13 knockouts and 17 victories.
06:22Good uppercut.
06:23You see how right-hand dominant Suarez is.
06:28He can also switch southpaw, but after what we saw
06:30with Alan Garcia getting caught off the wrong guard,
06:33they want to hold off on that big upset earlier tonight.
06:39There's a nice overhand right once again.
06:41A straight right from Suarez.
06:42It was nice in a way, and he just followed him out
06:45because Castaneda just keeps going back in straight lines,
06:48keeping his head directly on the line.
06:51And as dependent as Suarez is with the right hand,
06:54I mean, that left hook is open for him, too,
06:56as Castaneda's looking for that right.
06:58Oh, he's trying to set it up now.
07:00Now he's going low-high to try to confuse and disguise
07:04that shot over the top.
07:06You just can't miss with the right hand.
07:08Oh, not at all.
07:09Suarez was good with that.
07:10Oh, left uppercut from Suarez.
07:12Yeah, and he changed the combination up.
07:14Instead of coming with the one-two,
07:15he came around with the left hook
07:17and the right hand down the middle, that uppercut.
07:2010 seconds.
07:23Good creativity by Suarez this round.
07:28Time.
07:30The final fight of the night.
07:32It's the final fight of the night.
07:34It's the final fight of the night.
07:35It's the final fight of the night.
07:37Time.
07:39The final fight of our ESPN Plus portion of the undercard.
07:44When we move over to ESPN at 1030,
07:47the headliner will be Jaime Munguia against this man,
07:50Eric Bazinyan, WBO number two, super middleweight contender,
07:56coming all the way from Canada by way of Armenia.
08:0032-0 and one unbeaten in 33 fights.
08:04Knows that a victory over Jaime Munguia
08:07could not only change the trajectory of his career,
08:09but also his life.
08:11Across the ring will be Jaime Munguia,
08:14fresh off his loss to Canelo Alvarez on May the 4th.
08:19He's got 44 fights, just one loss in his professional career.
08:23He's got dynamite in both hands with 34 knockouts,
08:26and Eric Morales is on his phone right now,
08:28but the legendary former world champion,
08:30the first Mexican to win titles
08:32in four different weight classes,
08:34is back in his corner
08:35after working two fights with Freddie Roach.
08:38Yeah, he never had a problem with him.
08:39It was just the fact that...
08:41Scheduling.
08:42Yeah, scheduling, and he couldn't work with him,
08:44so he had to go with a trainer, and he chose Freddie Roach.
08:48So, they're back together now.
08:52Ooh.
09:00Yeah, Suarez is staying home now.
09:02He's not bagging out at all.
09:04He's staying low, and again, he's activated.
09:08Those guards, anything that touched those guards,
09:10he's gonna come firing right back.
09:13Says, I'm capable of boxing, does Castaneda,
09:16but I love to brawl.
09:17Well, today, you better start boxing
09:19because Suarez knows how to fight,
09:22and he's making Castaneda pay for his early mistakes.
09:25And look at that right eye of Castaneda.
09:29Starting to swell up.
09:32Ooh, that was a low blow as he was being pulled down.
09:34That's a straight right hand.
09:36Can't miss with that.
09:37How about that jab from Suarez?
09:41Left hook now from Suarez.
09:42He's landing some clean shots on Castaneda.
09:45He's proving durable.
09:51Two of three losses of Castaneda have been by stoppage, so...
09:55Ooh, that was a nice left.
09:58Both connected simultaneously.
10:01Suarez got the best of it.
10:02Nice body work.
10:04Let him go.
10:08Yeah, Suarez is taking advantage of Castaneda as he lunges in.
10:12Sometimes he overextends with his punches and he falls in,
10:15and that allows Suarez to just dig downstairs
10:18and work that body.
10:19Doesn't really have to do much.
10:22Don't stop. Step back.
10:24Don't punch. Good.
10:25That time right there,
10:27Suarez, nice little disengage,
10:30but he wasn't ready for the offense to come back,
10:32and that time, Castaneda followed him out
10:34with combinations.
10:36You know, Suarez did most of his camp
10:39on the military base out there in the Philippines
10:42and then finished up at the wild card gym.
10:45Ooh, nice uppercut from Suarez.
10:48Castaneda's on his back.
10:50Ooh.
10:52Five, six, seven, eight.
10:56You good? Come to me. Let me see you.
10:58Get your hands up. Let me see you.
10:59You want to go? Let's go.
11:02Box.
11:0330-plus seconds left for Suarez to finish the job,
11:06and that's exactly what he does with that flurry,
11:08and almost Castaneda gets up.
11:10Referee Chris Flores understands
11:12that he's in no condition to continue.
11:17What a performance from Charlie Suarez.
11:20He was supposed to face fellow undefeated contender
11:22Andres Cortez.
11:24Tim, he did not allow himself to have a letdown
11:28when this big fight fell through.
11:30No, absolutely not.
11:31I mean, he knew that he was in there
11:32with a real guy tonight, short-notice fight,
11:35but however they do their research,
11:37he held that right hand at home,
11:39made sure that left hook didn't get inside,
11:42and he just took advantage of the holds of the taller
11:47Castaneda.
11:49It's crazy because he was landing the right hand.
11:52He was getting them used to the right hand.
11:53Go ahead. Get used to that right hand.
11:55Get used to that right hand.
11:56And then the change-up.
11:58He comes with the left hook, comes around the guard,
12:01lands directly on the money, and that was all she wrote.
12:04Absolutely, and you see the face of Castaneda.
12:08His right eye started to swell after he was hurt
12:12in that first round, and, Tim, let's take a look
12:15at the first knockdown of the two here in round number three.
12:22First down, see his legs for just a minute.
12:25He knows exactly what he's looking for right there.
12:27He just flashes the right hand.
12:30Flashes the right hand, comes around with the left hook.
12:34You see the backhand drops, and another, man, listen to me.
12:39Stop dropping the opposite hand
12:41when you're trying to load up for a shot.
12:43That's exactly what happened in the last fight,
12:46and that's what happened right here,
12:47but nice follow-up right here with the finish.
12:49Just a nice little shot right on the temple right there.
12:51Got his legs wobbling, got him in trouble.
12:54He knew it.
12:55Following up, just following him out,
12:57taking advantage of him while his hands are down.
13:02That's beautiful work, great accuracy right there,
13:04and way to follow up after you attack.
13:05If you miss with one shot, you can still follow up
13:08because the other shot can land.
13:09That's what he did right there.
13:11He missed with one shot, but the follow-up
13:13is what got his man and took him out.
13:15However, dropping the opposite hand, I'm telling you,
13:19that's exactly what he did.
13:21He was loading up for a left hook,
13:22and he got caught with a left hook.
13:24He dropped his back hand in the first knockdown.
13:29Boom.
13:31Dropped his back hand, left it open.
13:33There's the right hand, back hand, left hook.
13:41All right, let's listen to the official time
13:43of the stoppage here in the third round
13:46from Mark Cheneaux.
13:48Ladies and gentlemen, here inside Desert Diamond Arena,
13:51Glendale, Arizona, this bout comes to a conclusion
13:54at 2 minutes, 22 seconds of round number three.
13:58For your winner by technical knockout,
14:01and now the WBO International Junior Lightweight Champion,
14:07Charlie Kings Warrior Suarez.
14:1511, I mean, 10 knockouts, 18 victories for Charlie Suarez
14:19just showed up at the Favela Gym the other day
14:23out there in Southern California
14:25because he said, I got a fight coming up.
14:27I need some work.
14:28And today, he put in some work against Castaneda.
14:31He's ready for a world championship.
14:33Yeah, he's ready. There's no doubt about it.
14:3436 years old, what are we waiting on?
14:37You know, he has over 130-something rounds already.
14:41He's more than ready.
14:42I mean, he had 350 amateur fights.
14:44Think about that.
14:45He understands and knows how to deal with styles.
14:48This is time, man.
14:49And in the next, I would say the next six months, seven months,
14:53I wouldn't...
