00:00You'll see the other five.
00:01Of course, the main event, Gabriela Fundora, Marilyn Bavio.
00:05The Dale is coming off a loss back in June of last year against David Benavides.
00:10He went the distance with Benavides.
00:12That was in Las Vegas.
00:14It was a unanimous decision.
00:16That was for the interim light heavyweight title.
00:18And Benavides, just a fantastic fighter.
00:21Before that, he had won three in a row for the Dale.
00:26He also, back in 2019, had a knockout loss to Artur Beterbiev.
00:33That was in Philadelphia.
00:35And he went down three times in the 10th round.
00:37So this is a tough dude, man.
00:39This is a very, very tough dude.
00:40Those two losses to Beterbiev and Benavides?
00:43Man.
00:43Yeah, you're talking about some of the best fighters in the world.
00:48So the nail.
00:50Black and white.
00:50A new team now.
00:52Brickhouse Boxing.
00:53You can see him establishing his jab early.
00:57Measuring his distance.
00:59Yeah, Marco Contreras, Roger Anderson, Elzar Hernandez in his corner.
01:04Before the nail is 38 years old.
01:07Cruiserweight is very interesting.
01:09So he goes to Brickhouse, which is the home base for Surdo Ramirez.
01:17Management team.
01:18Same as Surdo Ramirez.
01:21Hook from the nail.
01:23Work it out.
01:24Lock it out.
01:24So he and Surdo will spar?
01:27I haven't seen them spar.
01:28Okay.
01:28I haven't seen them spar, but I've seen them working with Darius Fulgham.
01:32Okay.
01:34Beck the Bully.
01:37Moving around some top guys.
01:38From the Ukraine.
01:42Body shot for the nail.
01:44Yeah.
01:45He's throwing that right hand to the body there.
01:47Get to Holloway to drop his elbow a little bit.
01:50Set something up.
01:53Yeah.
01:53You would hear about him in the rankings.
01:55Remember, the cruiserweight division is interesting.
01:58You didn't hear about it for a while.
02:00Then the last, I think, year, maybe 18 months.
02:02Oh, okay.
02:03We're making noise in the cruiserweights.
02:05Definitely.
02:06I was at his fight with David Benavidez.
02:08Okay.
02:09Yeah.
02:09But he put up a good fight.
02:11Tough dude.
02:12Yeah.
02:12That was at 175.
02:14This one is at 179 where they agreed to.
02:21That's why it's technically a cruiserweight fight.
02:24Scheduled for eight rounds.
02:25Up next will be Samuel Torres Castellanos.
02:31Still got the heavyweight Joshua Edward to make his pro debut.
02:34And Jorge Chavez.
02:36Body shots from the nail.
02:39Push.
02:40Push.
02:4311 months as he works.
02:44We've got to get in there.
02:45Get that lather going.
02:47The activity.
02:49That's good.
02:50Keenan Wright lets us know it's 10 seconds to go in the opening round.
02:53Your timekeeper for this afternoon.
02:54Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
02:58Time.
02:59Time.
03:20All right.
03:20Let's see highlights for that opening round.
03:21So, yeah, you can see Alexander establishing his jab.
03:26Coming over that right.
03:28Really digging that right hand to the body.
03:30That straight right to the body.
03:31Trying to get Holloway to start dropping that left elbow of his.
03:35Maybe set something off after that jab.
03:37There you see the corner four of Holloway.
03:40That's Anthony Cardenas giving the instructions.
03:44He's from Vista.
03:45Coming, uh, not too far from here.
03:52We're in Oceanside.
03:53This is North County.
04:00And now the nail comes out starting strong and quick in the second round.
04:05Coming out hot.
04:05He's setting that pace.
04:06So, is he working out at the same time you are?
04:14He comes in about an hour after me.
04:15So, I usually catch him in the last hour, hour and a half of my workout.
04:19Yeah.
04:19So, I see him around a lot.
04:21Now, you're a fighter.
04:22Eric Preeze is my partner this afternoon.
04:24You've been going to different gyms just learning from so many different trainers.
04:27So, I like the Brickhouse side because the nail is going upstairs one and two.
04:33But when you go to a new gym, you have to learn that trainer.
04:36I mean, you might know him, but when you actually train it together, it's different.
04:38Oh, absolutely.
04:39Yeah.
04:39Like, every trainer has his own style.
04:41And boxing, boxing is not, you can't really copy one style, but you can learn different styles.
04:45And you create your own from that.
04:47Our second bout of the afternoon.
04:48Ten fights total.
04:49Golden Boy Promotions here in North County, San Diego.
04:52Oceanside, afternoon boxing here in April.
04:57You can see Alexander is taking his time, finding his spots.
05:04Alexander, he's controlling the pace.
05:06Yeah.
05:06Which he couldn't do against Benavides.
05:08Yes.
05:09Yes.
05:09I'm sure he learned from that fight as well, you know.
05:13And now he's just touching sometimes, throwing hard jabs, putting his head off the line to get out of traffic from Holloway at the same time.
05:21And digging down to the body, changing levels.
05:25Good boxing.
05:28It's our second fight of the afternoon.
05:31Five o'clock is when the zone gets going.
05:33It's going to be Joel Iviarte, then Ruslan Abdullayev, Tristan Calcruth, Charles Conwell.
05:37And then the undisputed champ, the unified champ, Gabriela Fundora.
05:42Mouthpiece is coming out for Holloway.
05:47That got tagged.
05:48Stop, stop, stop.
06:00Holloway, less than a minute to go in the second round.
06:02Breathing heavy here.
06:03Oh, good right hand from the Ukrainian.
06:10The nail.
06:13Right, he's been establishing that jab early, Eric Priest.
06:15You can see him establishing that jab.
06:17Yeah, just keeping him right at the end of it.
06:19You know, he's controlling the pace.
06:20And I can see why Holloway might be getting a little bit tired.
06:26Mouthpiece went out.
06:27Yeah, you're saying it's tired.
06:28I see him getting a little bit tired because, you know, Alexander, he's controlling.
06:32He's just like he's pushing him back.
06:33He's doing calculated aggression.
06:35And it's like somebody just being in your face the entire time, you know.
06:38That anxiety, that stress of somebody being there in front of you all the time is aware on you.
06:44If you can't control him, keep them away.
06:46You're seeing a very sharp nail.
06:50The 10-month layoff helping him out.
06:52Oh, yeah, yeah.
06:53It's good that he's already back in the middle.
06:54You know, 10 months, like, I wouldn't do it anymore.
06:56Because, I mean, a ring rest is a real thing.
07:00So he's definitely good that he's active right now.
07:08Done with two.
07:14Can you see the corner of Galloway?
07:15They're working on him.
07:24The highlights here of that second round.
07:26Oh, you can see that.
07:33Yeah, you can just see Alexander, he's trying to set things up.
07:35You know, he's trying to counter that jab.
07:37Galloway, he's throwing somewhat of the same jab every single time.
07:41So if you keep doing that, you've got to change up the speeds on that.
07:44But, you know, at the same time, Galloway, tough guy.
07:48He's taking some shots and he keeps going.
07:50You know, he's here to fight.
07:52That's for sure.
07:52All right, third round of action.
08:07This was scheduled for eight.
08:08The nail looking good.
08:10Being aggressive and attacking.
08:12Again, tough the round along with Eric Priest.
08:16Prospect coming in.
08:18Fighting soon, he says.
08:20Yes, sir.
08:20Won't tell me when, but he'll be fighting soon.
08:22Very soon.
08:22Very soon.
08:23Announcement coming soon.
08:24Yes, sir.
08:26Galloway, nine, seven, and three.
08:28He lost to Tristan Calcutt.
08:32And he goes down here in the third.
08:36He got tagged.
08:37I don't know if he's going to get up.
08:39He is very, very wobbly.
08:41And he got it nine.
08:42Come to me.
08:43Come to me.
08:44Go that way.
08:45Go this way.
08:47Show me something here.
08:49You hear referees saying, show me something.
08:51Third round.
08:52The nail.
08:54Trying to put the nail in this one.
08:56Hook from Alexander.
08:58You see, he's not just rushing in.
09:00That's that experience.
09:02He's setting things up off his jab still.
09:05Man, those jabs are stiff from Alexander.
09:08Those are punches.
09:08Those are real punches, not just jabs.
09:15Galloway is tough, man.
09:16He's still throwing his shots.
09:18Let him go.
09:18Work it out.
09:19Stop.
09:20Stop.
09:20Stop.
09:21Stop.
09:22Oh, and he gets tagged upstairs.
09:29Wobbling goes down for the second time in the third round.
09:34Galloway is in danger right now.
09:39Referee stops it here in the third after he went down twice.
09:52137 of the third round.
09:55The third round, as the ref had seen enough, the way that he got up, the way that he was
10:03wobbling, referees said no.
10:07And before that knockdown, he even told them, he told Galloway, or Halloway, make sure you
10:13show me something.
10:14And Halloway didn't show enough for the referee, stops it with 137.
10:21It was inevitable.
10:22It was going to be some more damage.
10:23Good stoppage for me.
10:24Oh, I absolutely agree.
10:27Let's look at the knockdown that ended it.
10:32Oh, good hook.
10:33Wow.
10:33Yeah, yeah.
10:33He's setting up that straight power jab the entire time.
10:36And, you know, so, you know, he's going straight, going straight.
10:39Then, boom, goes right around.
10:42Great.
10:42Great setup.
10:43Great execution by Alexander.
10:46Yeah, Halloway is a tough dude.
10:47But Alexander Woznik from Kyrgyz, Ukraine, gets his 17th KO.
10:53He's now 21-2.
10:55The nail back in the mix.
11:01Looks sharp.
11:02Very sharp.
11:03Very sharp.
11:04You see all that time that he's, you know, putting in the gym all the sparring.
11:08It's paying off.
11:10It's always a great feeling.
11:17Well, ladies and gentlemen, the end comes officially 1 minute 37 seconds.
11:21Round number 3, referee David Sullivan puts a halt to the fight.
11:25Your winner, by way of knockout, Alexander the Nail Woznik.
11:51All right.
11:53So, two.
