okay fighter fighter anything below here i'm going to call okay keep them keep them clean you got your instructions in a dressing room listen to my my my commands at all times keep your hands up at all times protect yourself at all times any questions any questions touch them up good luck the first fight of our main card a unification title fight the wba and ibf super bantamweight titles on the line as danny roman looks to defend his belts against start of round number one with the white and black trunks danny roman in the white red and blue you know i asked a member of akhmadalia's team early this evening what they were worried about with danny roman and they said daniel rahman needs a miracle so there's a lot of confidence coming out of academy's game ahmedalia with incredible power and something his trainer joel diaz touted to us yesterday the power in both of ahmedalia's hands as well as the elusiveness power and athleticism punches in different angles which is very difficult to do it takes athletic ability and of course natural group power and he has an impulsiveness and romance camp admitted that in his early days of training camp there were certain things they had to do a little differently as he recovered from the shoulder injury and a big left hand there from ahmedalia under ideal circumstances i think this is a questionable fight for roman to take for all the business reasons we named earlier but it was only a six-week camp surgery and for a fight like this i would think you'd want a longer one and you want to be completely healthy for it that was a surprising move by roman not only the short term but coming off an injury that takes such a tough fight because but that just shows the greatness that roman has he wants to prove that 122 pounder that deserves the most respect in the world you know there's a feeling amongst romans team they may have to survive a storm early on but their goal is to take this fight to the later rounds a place that academic really hasn't gone in one fight past six rounds so that's where danny roman feels he has a big advantage when i asked dr dolly if that's a concern i asked joel diaz the same thing he said no more experience is not really a concern for us because ahmadalia has that amateur pedigree and background from the olympics he's fought every style medallion a bronze medalist in 2016. out of uzbekistan that's one of his best punches as the uppercuts they're really sneaky shots he doesn't really pull back his elbow to get leverage or power it's just a short shot but it does much damage obama coming off that war victory against t.j dominique sergio mora called his fight of the year in 2019 [Music] end of round number one okay so let's make sure we keep our hands up okay right okay listen i need you to work on your jab just touch him on the glove beat him to beat him to your left let the right hand go okay straight down to the chest ready okay every chance that you can get put the uppercut tell me when the roundhouse on top all right okay make sure once you finish here we're gonna see ahmedaliev instead of coming in with a 1-2 he did a 2-1 from that left-handed stance and that's why it caught roman off off-guard right there he wasn't expecting the second punch to the line like that he expected a 1-2 not a 2-1 from the left-hander [Music] start of round number two the wba and ibf super bantamweight title on the line here in miami florida an awesome atmosphere super bowl weekend big left hand there from ahmedalia stabbing with the right jab one of the things that danny roman's trainer eddie gonzalez made sure to point out was the success that robot has had against southpaws in his career this is third southpaw in six fights back-to-back south falls for daniel roman and for boxers usually we try to do everything to avoid a southpaw daniel romero you know both these guys are excellent bottom punchers it's a big part of their respective attacks remember the fight against danny lamont heard it badly for the body shot at the later stage of that fight but really made the difference both sides were hurt went down bleeding from his mouth i mean it was just a courageous performance on his part and another unification but he's one of the best in this division a career-long layoff 279 days with daniel roman big left hand there for madagascar you can see how heavy akhmadali his punches are right there not only is he elusive but he has those heavy hands and it comes from any angle it's very difficult to prepare for that body shot right there upper valley coming in right here as much as we've talked about being surprised roman took this fight aka dalian said he was not because he knows roman is a warrior so when it comes to boxing on sweet signs we know that speed beats power but timing and technique beats speed and right now roman he's hoping to to catch the faster ahmed ali if the strongman [Applause] if you're wondering why we were asking about robot's decision to take this fight you can already see it just with the power of aquidalia not only that but he's the favorite in this fight with only seven fights this bean is eight now if you talk to most people in boxing they believe knockouts to begin his career 25 years old [Music] come around trying for the right hook i love it with softball's throw right hook but that left that overhand left right there caught roman backing up on the neck and the side of the jaw couldn't get that counter in but mj coming forward with the loop and swinging shots left hook and right hooks what'd you think about the instruction in the corner from joel diaz to mj madalia i love the instructions i mean he had a great trainer in his corner enjoyable he has he gave him the perfect instructions started the third round the wba and ibm super bantamweight title on the line chris how you scoring this thus far yeah i've got two rounds to none for aqua dahlia i thought the first round was close but the second a pretty clear round rockefeller the surgeon pointed earlier speed is a big difference there rahman's going to get busier and maybe a little more bullying this is the amateur pedigree any time he gets near the ropes or the perimeter of the ring he gets right back in the middle of the ring that's exactly what a successful amateur is doing if they bring it into the professional ranks that's ring generalship at its best keep the fight in the middle of the ring you know sergio i make fun of the belts a lot you know on these broadcasts in everyday life but you know when i asked danny roman why he's taking this fight you talked about that he wants to hold on to it it means a lot to him so he's willing to risk it in this type of fight he even said look it took me seven or eight years to get an elimination bout how did mj get here this quickly rankings are known to be beneficial to get this opportunity but here he is wanting to to become a unified champion in his eighth fight just just incredible how gifted he is flurries exchange from the center of the ring here in round number three both fighters running good body shots fighting at their strength he's looking to counter with good technique and timing and of course mj ahmedali is looking to to get an angle on him being inclusive with that power robot going to the body about medallion [Music] oman missed eight weeks with a shoulder injury and because of that had the abbreviated six-week camp that chris maddox was telling you about that sneaky uppercut there by danielle there are three championship fights tonight and next up kevin farmer and jojo diaz is sergio you've talked about this tevin farmer does not seem to have a whole lot of respect for jojo diaz and any vulnerabilities he may have with diaz in the rink tonight no respect for jojo diaz and you know what you got to respect farmer for having that because he knows he's one of the best if not the best in this division he's a world champion he's overcome amazing odds i mean he's the real deal and he thinks he is and he's backing it up seconds [Music] start of round number four one of the interesting perspectives shared by academia is saying now he's excited but he's not over excited he feels like other young prospects getting a chance like this wouldn't quite know how to have that right level of excitement for this opportunity expect these fights to pick up in this round they want more combinations out of daniel roman and of course we know that medallion is always looking for the knockout yeah you're seeing it right away sergio increased activity early in this fourth round yeah sergio do your earlier point he does it like reminds me of time something there but aqua valley is so fast and he's so elusive he gets out of there quickly and throws those combinations that's what makes him special if he was a little bit more flat-footed doing all that a fighter like roman will time on you i mean he's too good he's a champion you know how to catch him off guard but he's not giving him that chance he's elusive in there he's strong and you have to respect that okay the left you can see a little pizzazz in the swinging shoulders there of akhmadalia who's known for his dancing his body shot's there from roman reigns and hustles you always got to concentrate on the body and that's exactly what danny did right there good body shots another body [Music] michael jackson the other reason he felt people had a tough time pronouncing his first name [Music] stream live sports on the zone just search d a z n in

content archive events and award-winning documentary films [Applause] only on the zone right and here's what i really like about that last round by roman he's not countering to the head now he's countering to the body whenever you're dealing with an elusive fighter that knows how to use ring generalship and use the ring it's the body that you're going to catch it's hard to get those head shots but downstairs will be a lot easier not good for the worst attack come on you know you heard the corner from roman there saying we need you to be the water applying the pressure joel diaz the train of rock medallions said he wants his guy applying smart effective pressure i think he's doing a better job in this fight so far i know you gave the first two rounds to aquidalia how about the last two chris yeah i've got it three rounds to one in favor of dominion he's just landing the cleaner shots and romans doing his best is landing some effective punches and it feels like dahlias you get that last round right i did not last time i think roman had some pretty good success to the body he had his moments i thought aqua valley was more consistent the big role model said was he wanted to be careful early and then break down aquadalia to get good body shots there from robot and that's what he did in the last round he's counting to the body now right there i mean a left uppercut because they landed [Music] is a very confident poised champion you know he doesn't waste any punches calm poker face but he's ready for the counter he has the speed to catch you off guard he has enough power to get your respect but it's the timing that makes him efficient if you want to slow thank you ryan i just spoke with joel diaz so i want you guys to look at a change in tactic at the beginning that medallion was looking to frustrate romania now walking into the sixth and seventh round he's looking to close the gap go for the body and look for the knockout on top all right so exactly what claudia says i can see that mj's doing that trying to set up something big upstairs the big shots have picked up here in round number five stuck that right hand through the mix caught a grin from aquadalia he went downstairs it was a little bit low he got warned and he went right back downstairs not discouraged his own combination up top then a couple of big shots and a nice combination to finish round number five from mj ahmadalia and here are the hooks coming around the guard of roman really caught the attention of ramon backing him up right there i think that's the that's one of the first times i've seen roman really get a little discouraged backing up against the ropes right there oh and he was hurt in that moment sir he went back to the corner poured his hand up on the ring rope to balance himself out there that bell might have saved any room that's a bad sign anytime a fighter puts his hands on the ropes it's a sign of it's a sign that something's wrong with him either he's tired or he got hurt a little bit given the information claudia shared moments ago about joel diaz wanting dalia to put himself in position for a knockout on around six and seven the seat thought madame could take advantage of roman and the way he was hurt at the end of that fifth round and shoulders he knows that it's hard to hit a moving target like this but if you can just punch anything right now that's success and you can just you'll get confidence going into the round chris you talked about his team as well feeling that way big left hand there as aqua dolly have tried to work through the defense what he believes is how elusive he is with both hands strong with both hands and when i asked joel diaz why take this step with only seven fights against a unified champion like daniel rohan it's because joel diaz no he knew from his fights in ontario when he was with tyson promotions he's seen him come up so he knows his vulnerabilities and is very confident coming into this fight and you also know your own fighter too right so i mean he knows what he's got he knows this kid he's pretty special he's sick because he's ready i told you all so it's basically you scouted you have the scouting report on what it says absolutely i've seen them coming up the ranks and four six eight round felt in the thompson parts and that's what gives them this this confidence [Applause] who gets a stern warning at the end of the round i need more activity from you right now okay okay i need more [ __ ] activity from here i need you to get that right hand again in there get the right hand double up on it then start digging the body do not abandon the body better pay dividends all right but i need you to do that i need you to follow instructions you use waiting too long you're waiting too long put the pressure on him okay as soon as you hit him if he moves just cut the ring matches forward all right okay come on i need to start landing your solid shots come on you need one more you only do it two punches for combination you need to work more let's go pick in danny roman's corner eddie gonzalez saying look i need more activity from you yeah look more great advice i think is coming from eddie gonzalez and danny roman's corner he keeps saying go to the body 42 of the punches that ramon lands in his fights are body shots we're not seeing the same type of commitment in the first half of this fight but you got to credit that to him a chance offend ali those body shots he's moving around around the perimeter of the ring always keeping the fight in the middle of the ring the agility and athleticism is keeping roman from landing the high percent of shots all right chris through six rounds how do you have it i got four rounds to two in favor of aqua dalio he's been pretty much excellent throughout the ones the rounds i thought they're pretty close so strong first half of this fight for ncaa obama trying to kept on daniel roman's side it's an awkward combination but if you're athletic and your feet to follow your hands it's actually pretty effective and you're starting to see more of that lunging straight left hand his last two rounds he clearly sees something in the guard of danny roman that makes coming out of his opponent he doesn't expect able to defend left hand big shot to the body to end the round hey he's a champion you need to work more now i understand come on you're not tired are you tired okay let's go to work here we're going to see the favorite punch of roman which is an uppercut solid uppercut landed splitting the guard of aquidalia that's what i want to see more from from uh roman jabbing your way in if you catch a shot danny if you can't belong to your target speed you gotta do it with timing and jabs you know joel diaz in the corner talking a lot like a guy that knows that sometimes with judges you've got to take that title away from the champion you've got to even though you might be winning a lot of these rounds you got to make sure you take that final chance that's what makes them one of the best trainers in boxing dalian has ascended quickly to this title shot in just his eighth professional fight actually fought in a scheduled ten rounder in only his fourth pro fighter highly irregular with his extensive amateur career he has been hurried along here in the pros as he chucks roman against early on between fast-tracked and their careers saw it at the highest level with mississippi another level here sergio what do you need to see more romano well before that and to touch on that chris not only is alpha dalia from those eastern european countries that usually stun real stiff behind a good one too he's breaking all those rules he's more he's where he keeps his hands down a lot [Applause] mj is in control of the fight so a little bit more pressure and body shot just like that counting everything downstairs c according to seven rounds [Applause] that's sort of what you're talking about chris in regard to as the power punches in even though you feel good sometimes you've really got to wrestle those belts away big left hand there for medallion you brought this up last round that uppercut has been there for roman these last few rounds at least three of them in this round so far big left hand of the body from aquanali and then a left hand up top outstanding activity and a late shot there from danny roman who says my bad i know at the end of that eighth round [Music] is uppercut that's his best punch left uppercut right on the bottom of the chin of mj ahmedalia but ahmedaliev came right back knowing that that was a good shot he landed coming back with four five six punches yeah but you watched that sergio roman slipped a lot of those oh no i get it come on roman landed the better shot the clean shot all i'm saying is mj came back punching that's what you want to see if you want to take the title away from the champion in round nine chris you set the table early on about the thought would be these could be the rounds where daniel roman uses that veteran experience to close out the fight and perhaps retain the belts maybe you saw some of that towards the end of the eighth round yeah well it's the great unknown with aqua dalio who has never only been past the sixth round just once now in that one fight when he passed the sixth round he was excellent at and putting on pressure later in the round right now but definitely how about the exchange there from danny wants is athletic i'm not giving him a chance to find anything but see that's effective work right there body shots and uppercuts you've seen some very effective uppercuts from between over there [Music] to watch the elbow as the ninth round comes to a close [Music] strong work towards the end of it from mj ahmadalia let's have a look [Music] okay this is a dangerous position that danny romano was in his right arm was extended and if mj would have landed that shot cleanly that would have been devastating but luckily luckily for roman it ricocheted off his rib cage but that was a clean body shot by mj ahmed ali see that cut just under the right eye of gaming roman bad place for a cut let's see if these final two rounds it becomes a factor sergio you're very excited for this fight how has it played out compared to what you were anticipating seeing between these two fighters i expected it to be a little bit more physical and with that a little bit more violent but ahmed alive hasn't uh intense fight but there's one person that's in charge right now that's angie academia with his boxing and not letting romano set his feet to get those power it's an intense fight but it's not a physically intense fight because aqua dolly is doing the right thing that thing had become a physical fight you could see the blood protruding from that cut that chris was talking about let's check in with claudia trejos thank you ryan you just spoke with joel diaz he says the cut is not even a factor he thinks it's not an issue it's not really swollen so it shouldn't cause any issues for like medallions nice combination there from office but he's getting a little bit more aggressive both of them are getting a little bit more aggressive more of the physical physical fight than i was expecting but this is as deep as aquanalia has ever been in a fight [Music] see the blood [Music] starting with one to the body [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] uh [Music] [Music] you need to start working we're going to see the end of the round roman looking for that uppercut but it was mj ahmedalia coming forward flurrying to the body and some good body shots right there on roman [Music] seconds out yeah the message is pretty consistent these last few rounds coming out of the corner of romania we've got to be more active we've got to be busier we've got more punches chris what does your scorecard look like at this point i thought aqua valley this last couple of rounds asserted himself once again and has given himself a pretty commanding 97-93 lead on my card right here because he's not strictly moving and trying to pick off the shots he's being aggressive at times going [Applause] there championship rounds with the wba ibf super bantamweight title on the line you are right chris aquidalia appears to be in outstanding shape is little less activity so far in this 11th round if you're out here this is a round that maybe you want to take off but if you're roman there's no no time for you to take off any rounds there's like these you should be putting the pressure trying to take [Applause] one and again going to the body 11 rounds in the books hey you got the last round danny okay okay we need we need to make sure we need to make sure that you land some solid shots on this [ __ ] guy right now so you can take them okay three more minutes [Music] interesting hearing the honesty from eddie gonzalez in the corner of danny ramon says i'm not sure here we are in the last round [Music] stick it through the mix of ahmedalia [Music] and those have been the most effective shots for gaming uppercut is digging down to the bottom career that uppercut backing with four five six punch combinations putting the pressure on him not eddie and green yeah i agree sergio this first two minutes this final round has been kind of vintage i didn't see much [Applause] coming in this 12th and final round [Applause] and this is why a lot of people a lot of people in the business blessing this fight i would [Applause] [Applause] and that is it [Applause] family [Music] edge and landed punches in rounds 10 and 11. but then danny roman asserted himself in the 12th and final round sergio how do you think this is going to end up being scored well i expected daniel roman to to start off earlier just like he closed off that last 12th round i expected this fight to be a little bit more more brutal a little bit more violent more physical but ahmed alive didn't let it get there so i really like the boxing that ahmadalia did i like that he controlled the the pace of the fight and i think roman's corner eddie gonzalez there was concern in his voice in the corner so i think we already know that even they they know that maybe they didn't pull off this fight and if that's the case ah modality of ties leon springs and becoming the the unified champion at eight fights eight professional fights take a look at the recap from this 12-round bout it was ahmedali of landing shots and not staying there long enough to to let roman lend anything in return the most success that roman had was through the body and with the uppercuts just like that right there but anytime he will land something big aqua dalia will come back with four five six punches backing up roman those are good shots right there fighting on his back foot roman [Music] well we will get the decision now from david diamante ladies and gentlemen can we get a nice round of applause out here for both of these fighters after 12 rounds of action we go to the judge's score totals they read as follows frank gent rodolfo aguilar 115 113 roman carlos sucre 115 113 acmataliev nelson vasquez scores this contest 115 113 for your winner by split decision and the new unified wba and ibf super bantamweight champion of the world [Applause] nj well a new champion mj ahmadalia a winner by split decision as danny roman took the risk and ended up paying the price took the risk but it wasn't romans someone had to tell roman maybe the best choice here is not to face an unknown fighter with this much pedigree this kind of style it was going to be very difficult to beat akalia and that's the reason they have so much confidence taking this fight and only its eighth fight and now he ties leon spins the unified champion had only eight fights you
