Full Fight | Ben Williams vs. Fes Batista

gentlemen for me my commands clean boxing touch glass in the corner what's your pick here Riley I got Ben Williams all day that guy looks absolutely heal I want to mention this the caliber of competition from Ben Williams has historically left a little bit and lacking best Batista's experience I think subsidizes that our last second prayer for Batista the thing is though is a lot of these guys that they come in they fight lower level competition at some point they step up and sink or swim at that point absolutely here we go there Batista in the red B Williams in the Irish colors beautiful footwork immediately from Ben Williams very light on his feet good head movement rips him flurry from Williams Batista talk about drowning tring right hand there for Batista but Williams going from 0 to 100 Batista might want to just try and weather the storm here love the reactions from Williams here he is bouncing in and out Riley but did a good job there though he clipped him and then kind of reminded Ben to focus on his fundamentals and get this a boxing match not just a fight let's not forget he is a veteran he's been training for a very long time with some of the very best Batista the terrier knows how to make the scrappy fight the speed difference is sliding though Ben Williams absolutely lightning fast's got to use that jab that'll slow down an aggressive fighter stick it right in his face Tod he's got to get that respect from his opponent he hasn't done that yet oh beautiful left Batista tries to return nothing going the cannon of a right hand from Ben Williams is just locked and loaded and he is countered beautifully already in this first round Ben doing smart not really sitting down on his punches yet just touching him so he's able to get out of range when he needs to I mean Batista when he lets his power punches go he's not even looking at the Target he's basically coming off a defensive shell this whole fight seems like it's going a little too fast for him he's trying to catch up yeah he's definitely got to slow it down maybe clinching maybe negating the space could be a way to work it back to his advantages there's Williams with clinch I will say he is swinging for the bleachers when he is throwing though one 12 well Williams had slowed down a little bit but he was bound to right I mean start like that can't keep that pace but this is where this where batist has got to work in these in these slower times F like this four rounds though very very short I mean speed is the name of the game yeah oh there you go nice check hook there from Batista though Williams backing up momentarily now clinching up under a minute to go be is landing some shots I mean and when they do land it seems like Ben kind of looks at him for a second goes oh wait that that actually landed Fez Batista had about in 2015 in Pensacola Florida the headlines Batista's left hand sends opponent 20 ft flying so Legendary Power from Team Batista I will say that's nine years ago though I think you were 15 maybe we both young guys and that speaks to the story line for this one Old Guard versus new guard in my opinion Todd and I always love that match up these are the times Batista's got to work he's taller he's longer the physical presence of Ben Williams though is pretty notable in my opinion he looks looks like the bigger guy in there even though he's a bit shorter doesn't have the reach B collision at the end of round one and so much confidence oozing out of Ben Williams there is zero doubt in his mind Big Shot there me just half of the Bell but a contic round number one Champions League match day five every Wednesday and Thursday well not every Wednesday and Thursday but it is this Wednesday and Thursday January 25th and 26th who will secure their passage to The Knockout rounds find out live on the Zone I want to mention that corner of Fez Batista Mo Batista right there we've been working with him for over a decade all the way back to that Mayweather Camp 2011 and he feels that they've just cooked up an excellent game plan for Ben Williams first round a bit dodgy Riley but he's got three more to work thing just the speed the volume the aggression was all too much ben Williams won every second of that round that's love you heard some of Fez Batista's comments in the corner from his trainer Mo saying hey uh do what you're doing I don't know if that's what I would be doing is what maybe do what you're doing but do more of it he's got to be more active against Williams who's just uh busier and quicker I will say he's been somewhat defensively responsible and if the game plan is to try to take Ben into deep Waters maybe do a bit more than you're doing Ben Williams did predict a second round TKO we have arrived at that frame we'll see if Williams is right I saw some deep breaths in the corner of Ben Williams but not really indicative of real fatigue just some deep breaths breathing exercises yeah [Music] maybe Batista just standing right in front of him though really no back Steps From Him round fight you can't give away a single round right like you really can't well you can give away one then you'd still win three to one you can't give away two Riley math wasn't my uh specialty so Batista he had all the bling coming down looked great he's talked to talk and now it's his opportunity to really step up and put his stamp on this fight the speed difference is just absolutely dramatic though it's very palpable but Ben Williams a lot of pressure here on his shoulders there's so much expectation for this youngster following his two highlight re Knockouts oh nice fli there for Batista William bouncing back not sure it hit him clean but it did affect him that's the shot we've been talking about his shot is that left hook and you can see it oh those right again big one two from Williams love how he digs to the body but Batista hunting him down yeah Batista over guarded himself there but hey try something else whatever you're doing before is not really working great movement from Williams there great footwork there's a cut somewhere it might be over the left eye of Ben Williams not sure big right hand and Batista just waves it off I do think there's a laceration as well Williams cut first time in his career 60 to go in round two that left hook is landing it's doing well for him oh that right just scored for Williams I was about to say he needs more than that one punch he needs to start working a jaob or something because it's going to get time he's got Batista backing up Batista Wayward jab Williams collides in the centerz starting to look fatigued here late in the second round still a long way to go oh pushes him down Chase de more yeah I've seen enough of that stuff right the terrier Fez Batista eating a lot of hammers here in round two but I'd say he's wearing a lot of it well too you know the defense starts to go once you start to get fatigued like you know the hands start to fall down stop being as quick to respond to the shots coming your way so oh and there's one big left hook yeah check hook there for Williams right before the end of round number two Ben Williams wrong tonight won't be a first round knockout we'll have to see Riley he is getting tested the most we've ever seen him dominant first two rounds though couple highlights here you can see Batista going big with the right but Ben Williams cracks him with the left I love the tenacity from both guys though I mean they're getting after it through two rounds absolutely but you can just see even in these highlights the difference in footwork right I mean Bez just does not have his feet under him like Ben Williams does Ben even when he gets hit he stays composed he stays in his boxing fundamental stance whereas when Fez misses he's all over the place and we saw it even there when he kind of fell down two rounds to go Todd if I'm batist what would be some of the things I might want to focus [Music] on that's a nice little cut there over the left eye of Ben Williams but as long as that blood stays out of his vision he'll be okay but Batista has got to win this round that's not a good spot for a cut seems like the cut man did a good job though and got that thing covered up proof that Batista has landed something tonight right and done some damage big right another right from Williams Batista shakes his head no that usually means yes Ben Williams the reaction timing is so impressive tonight and hasn't wavered through three rounds starting off this third strong oh great combination there from Ben Williams another brilliant combination Batista is doing well when he keeps his hands up to defend but offensively he's got to come alive he tried there he's having a problem with the range Riley the distance has not been on Fez Batista side and how quick Ben Williams is it's not going to get any closer problem now too is his feet right just look at his feet he's not moving his feet he's standing there the combination for Batista who's chasing Williams all over the place that's what I think FZ Batista needs more of make this a dog F make it dirty get him on the back foot and start throwing those missiles yeah Williams is certainly more comfortable coming forward than fighting backwards let's see if Batista could press him a little bit and you can do that with the jab just start putting that jab in his face I just haven't seen too much of the jab so far right Todd like it just doesn't seem like a tool that might be in his toolbx it's the way Batista is throwing it right he's dipping way off to that right side and trying to split but he loads it up exactly Ben's reading it almost every single time that's a nice clean job from Ben hands low hard to see comes up snaps his opponent it's still great defense I mean he's reading everything that Fez Batista's given him like a book I don't even know if youve seen Ben's hands come up defensively yet he's almost strictly using his head workor and his feet he's the one who may a train with Roy Jones Jr 60 to go in round number three Ben Williams double inert impressing greatly here in leads looks like a bit of frustration on the face of Ben I mean Fez just won't go anywhere he said he would do whatever it takes to win I I'll tell you one thing this guy is absolutely here I had the chance to train with Fez back in September briefly during that week in New Castle I'll say one thing right the character it's him there is no gimmick there is no person ni right for Williams the referee needs to get out of the way B wants to get it back nice check Hook from Ben there by the way nice humble brag that you trained in thanks Todd where to go 15 seconds and Batista is just swallowing the shots yeah ref getting his his steps in tonight Ben is starting to not be able to Miss he is landing a lot more punches here just starting to find the timing find the range of his opponent so 3 minutes to go but it's been all Ben Williams Batista needing a stoppage feels like he's been counted out so much of his life it all comes down to this moment Riley some excellent replays from round two or round three excuse me yeah big stinging shots from Ben Williams there really Landing those ones right bam big shot right there the cut stayed closed all around he's finding his range that was stinging his opponent you clip him right on the chin Ben you know this you train all the time right always in the gym always in the gym only on Tuesdays I that's what I heard every other Tuesday all right ladies and gentlemen three rounds down one to go and Ben Williams these are the types of things I wanted to see from him a step up in competition and a step up in performance he is displaying so many different facets of the tool belt and Cape can fight there he is KSI Ms Taylor ringside right well somebody needs to play a Lady Gaga song right now for Fez Batista to pump him up let's see if Ben can get that stoage that he's been talking about Conor McGregor said that Ben Williams was the star of the show star certainly being born tonight for the Dubliner potentially oh Batista now on the inside side pushing forward I like the strategy got to say great turnout this Misfits event right now I'm seeing every seat full I can't see an open seat Ben Williams trying to close oh boy that was after the refried to split him up defend yourself at all times and now we've got be Batista backed up into the corner he's got two minutes to go the referee's not going to save him I agree the referee probably should have done something there but if you don't like what's happening punch your opponent in the face you never have a better opportunity to do so ask Floyd Mayweather right but I love this urgency from Ben Williams even though he is dominating this fight still so tempted to get that finish that's what you want in a fighter that type of fire exactly he's eager right he's got such a short window to make it happen he has the cardio he has the ability but can he make it happen under the bright light oh big le as drags him to the canvas it's a great little shovel uppercut on the way in [Music] though Fez Batista 90 seconds left has to go For [Music] Broke he's got to be down every single round this point yeah it's been a great debut so far for Ben Williams Batista still trying to find that one punch that can perhaps put his Foe on the ground but he just can't find it Ben's got one minute does he Coast does he you know just go with the win that he's already got or does he try to put a statement on it let's see what he does some would suggest that I have a feeling Ben Williams is still going to be searching for that knockout he wants that bone as bad oh yeah Batista again when he comes forward he has success all fight week his team's been pumped up he's brought obviously the Transformers the glitz the glamour but he needed a little bit more here tonight in leads [Music] Ry 30 seconds to go as Batista tries to close in Williams could Coast if he wanted to Batista time for one last bomb we'll see if Fez can find it final moments the door is being shut on him Ben Williams capitalizing in leads 10 seconds to go Batista will try and force the issue but not enough time as Ben Williams shines in his debut from his home country of Ireland wow what an exceptional performance by this young man I am really impressed by him great speed great composure great combinations really great everything the boxing ability was there well ladies and gentlemen next week live on to Zone what could be an early contender for fight of the year haime mugia who won last year's fight of the Year award against derbyan chenko swears off against John Ryder and mongia do something Canelo couldn't do stop Ryder and perhaps set up a showdown later this year between the two Mexicans Canelo and moon did I sell that good enough are you going to watch now Riley I'll absolutely watch I mean I was going to watch anyway that's going to be a banger I promise you unfortunately for feds Batista most of the banging landed from Ben Williams tonight the terrier ran into the Great Dane of Ben Williams and just wasn't enough credit to though he showed up against a guy that he was you know a big Underdog and he didn't he didn't look like he didn't belong you know he didn't look like he didn't want to be there and he had a lot of opportunities to quit in that fight and he didn't take a single one res zillian has always been the name of the game for pz Batista glad that he showed that here tonight but it does belong to the Irish boy Ben WAMS well I guess he's not as mentally weak as Batista said he was because not only did Williams win this fight rather handily but he did get carried away in that last round look for The Knockout he stayed relatively composed and safe and that's why he most likely will win a decision especially facing some adversity right Fez landed some good shots and Ben rolled with him C over his eye obviously it's got he's built like a superhero well I think we'll see Fez Batista again he's got enough personality outside of the ring that I think he can talk his way back into another fight but the next one he's going to have to deliver uh he was very confident going into this match against Ben Williams obviously if we haven't seen into one of these guys on next series it's a whole different level a whole different experience but now that he's got one under his belt maybe we'll see Batista again soon let's go to the ring and H ladies and gentlemen after four rounds of boxing we go to the judges scorecards judge sandag Balan scores about 39- 37 judge terel zandu Kelli and Merrick chac both scored about 40 to 36 and your winner by unanimous [Music] decision B Willam next [Music] go
