division the first of our scheduled 12 three-minute rounds for the WBA super world super middleweight championship that they could Ring Magazine championships and a Muhammad Ali trophy in the super middleweight division for the 18th time in the history of this weight class we have an all-british clash for World Championship honors the champion George Grosz wearing black trunks trimmed with red customarily holding that low held left hand starting this contest on the back foot most men firing out jabs the Challenger Callum Smith wearing white trunks with a sparkling set of crystals adorning the waistband legs as well washes start by both foxes each month looking to establish the jab their success through the low held left jab from George Grosz Padma jabs in the opening minute or so retort all the physical chess match in there [Music] no boxer will also commit and make the mistake here that's why you see two two boxes just fencing here palling with the job waiting for the other one to make actually commit and make a mistake the bustle happening groans very very clever on that back foot conceding the high to reach but he's ready to pounce with that right and also with that terrific job himself delivered from his waist but Colin Smith technically have very very big box who indeed that every punch in the book was Kalin and he's just biding his time but this was to be expected so six-inch reach advantage that Smith enjoys 78 inches for the challenges he got through that good right cross but grod's came back with the same shot 78 inches for the Challenger 72 inches for the champion we're looking to see what there's any ill effect or any awkward motion when throwing that left hand the one that he dislocated in the 12th and final round against Chris Eubank in the semi-final of this tournament his rose showing Department to this point now but that was a good shot from Carrie Smith well that was a good right hand it's made towards Grove just think a little bit now on that back foot I was a turret tremendous shock got his timing right accuracy and landed that punch and that's just way George just think a little bit but I was a good punch from a boomtown Smith groans continuing to look for that left jab that he shoots up from around his belt line sometimes it's as low as his kneecap Callum Smith's remaining concentrated peering between his gloves closing seconds of the opening round left jab to the torso land from groves and the same shot once again [Applause] from roads once more [Applause] [Music] [Applause] once again and groves just whisk that machine starts and tottering backwards and in exchange on the Bell where Callum Smith wasn't too far away with his back hand once again let Steve freakin listening to the blue corner and Shea McGuigan you're backing up and he's nodding you back you're in that zone too long one or two stairs back in quick exit round okay making reset back you up to both suros jab jab variations key all the time while they go more Japs ibadi fa fa made the good hand offences of faith okay Susy's why over contact me otherwise lovely straight right hand good all them edge this and get you back for you to the middle of that rings all right get that job [Applause] so round two after a kg opening three minutes beautiful left job to begin this second stanza from jawed groves heard Shane McGuigan asking him for more variation in the jab and not to stay in punching range for too long here Jen shame agreements goes to be more busy Iranian to use he say he's waiting far too long like I say there's gonna be a chess match that back opening round probably sniff just totally shaded it he cooked the good right hands that he landed but there's nothing kidding around it's very very close but that was probably just the difference those right hands from Smith and he seems to have found his distance a little bit better that's probably because he's using his jab a little bit more than Grose's grows east on to use it now he's listening to his coach butter he's gotta like it like his coaches said use that jab more and probably jab to the body not and that was on Kula cuz that should bring the elbows down over Smith and then he may then have the chance to land that right hand over the top [Music] Smith just moving backwards to for growth to fall short with his own jab grows with his back foot near the ropes get through with a left jab of his own groves throwing plenty of feint out of that familiar wide legged stance wasn't too far away and this is going to be interesting to see how the shoulder of George Grosz copes with the infighting at close range now set this before that Callen Smith is very good on the inside for such a tall man ease these punches are very correct on the inside good short uppercuts and left offs but I think he's putting boxing very well here at the moment Smith he's waiting patiently and there grows I think he's expecting his opponent to throw more punches but he's just waiting looking for the opportunities groans continuing to feint furiously in right hand to the torso was too far away as a straight right hand and to whip through bono punch just above the belt line was groans straight right hand is blocked effectively by groves and I'm Smith fighting the right hand but before the trigger grows near the corner tried to set a trap for before escaping that tradition of confinement behind a left jab our right hand is a beautiful shot from Kalin Smith and ETSU the ramrod left to the torso of the champion yes of the tactics are plain and simple now from Smith he's keeping the tongue he's nice and long he's buxom very well very well range in his picking his shots well when he throws that right ton he's not leaning too far in there's the danger shot from groves but he needs Smith more over the front foot and Smith butchered it reigns he's boxing probably better like I said groves needs Smith to come forward a little bit more where you can close the gap down and bring him onto that right hand gross continue to feint with the head fake without his faintly defeat another very cagey round of skillful boxing between these two men very close round indeed Smith trying to get through these right tongue grows a little bit more busy with the jab there's that jab to the body just on the waistband and then he switches to the head but Smith fast with the counter right and that was a nice shot there from Smith but all at range so those the tactics long range work from the Challenger [Music] so into the third round then the WBA super world super middleweight title on the line that's the title that George Grosz is defending for the third time tonight when it against Federer tootin off at Bramall Lane and successful defenses in the course of the world boxing Super Series tournament against Jamie Cox at Wembley Arena and Chris Eubank at the Manchester Arena it's another domestic foe he's facing here in the final Callum Smith enlists his maiden world title bid looking very assured indeed both men have questioned the ability of the other to fight long gone left by George Grosz counter from pounce leads wasn't too far away George Grosz has suggested that Colin Smith struggles to concentrate for the duration of a 12 round contest and if he doesn't get his man out of there early he's off until t of going into a shelf Kalem smith said that when he looked into the eyes of George Burns yesterday said sure I saw a good fighter when I saw an old man with a lot of miles on the clock who's ready for the taking trying to write twice in quick succession Colin Smith wasn't too far away either occasion yes Smith machine of his own medicine there the grouse comes back with his own rights and knows a good right hang from the champion [Applause] [Applause] tremendous shot there from Smith that low left hand from groves just inviting the pressure and Smith has landed a couple of tracking shots but George throws he's very dangerous when he's on the ropes when he's in trouble himself so column as he's moving forward he's gonna watch out the Smith oh sorry groves to come back with his own big shots crack him fly Ronald while the two men engaging in a clinch both of them were expending some serious energy with the big punches they were unloading their groves really twisting his toes into the canvas to get some leverage on his shots now how badly hurt was he by those shots that Callum Smith landed his legs did a funny little dance though it was leg day at the gym but he appears to be unsteady legs now 30 seconds still to negotiate for both of these boxes roasted them carry fight ending power in either hand 65% are cut ratio for George Grosz 20 knockouts in his 28 victories is a 71% doctored clip for Callum Smith 17 of his wins coming inside the distance and he went to that right hand again but was long on that occasion McAllister holds a British record for consecutive knockout six first round stoppages in a row in bouts three to eight and it came to life Richard during that three minutes yet tremendous shot there from Smith good throws don't be too slowed he's coming forward with a low lead hand on that front four he's committed he's coming over that front foot and gets caught with a very sharp right hand counter so like I said there was a bit of dishing language that he's owned medicine there that's what George droves nearly always does but Smith pins him on the ropes but this is where he's dangerous actually come about a couple of good shots but he was definitely shaken there there's the jab coming forward his hand doesn't go back to the on guard position and gets caught with a cracky right and good round for Smith [Applause] so into the fourth round then the winner of this contest as well as hoisting the inaugural Muhammad Ali trophy and the super middleweight division will become just the third Ring Magazine super middleweight champion joining the undefeated luminaries Joe Calzaghe e46 and oak and Andre son of god ward the Olympic champ from Athens 2004 man who went through his entire professional career undefeated indeed the last time he lost the contest he was 12 years old that is the prize that awaits the winner of this contest as well as George Grosz his WBA super title and the inaugural Muhammad Ali trophies groans knows that he had a bad round two previous friends come on the start of this round on that full foot a little bit more please gonna watch him he's gonna get caught with the right hand like that little bit slower these reactions there and Smith punch perfect with that right hand groans Ronald far too low that right and it's custom in here well groves looking to launch sneaky counters off the roads once again but Callum Smith just the extending right arm in Gothic fashion we mentioned the six-inch reach advantage daddy enjoys at the start of this contest and he's been finding a home for that right hand with increasing regularity during the course of this contest extended the left hand lightly used his feet to keep jawed brothers at bay to repel that attempted forward for a from the champion George Grosz wide-eyed and concentrated as he looks to launch his own sneaky attacks butcher nerds are very disciplined display from Colin Smith is waiting George boxing at range in at distance and he just won't commit let's see they're just measuring the distance in gap over the front thought because he knows he could walk onto that right under nuts what George Grosz needs him to do so up to now it's a clever display from Smith Grove so in just a few moments ago looking for that right hand to the body that foot paid to Jamie Proctor's ambitions in the quarter-final of this tournament shooting hands on that occasion left jab to the body from the champion George Grosz doubles up with the right hand Ethel cut to the body short crossed to the head good shooting jab so I'm the champion once again trace of the swelling beneath the right eye off Calum Smith alongside Joe Gallagher for the Challenger Smith on to the front foot once again stalking his man patient [Music] [Applause] counter right hand once again [Applause] this the insecure Gallagher watching twitch and switch induced a slightly better round from groves although at the start the rain gets called that right um but he was busy with his job in that round was George groves well on that front foot early on in the round but it's clever boxing and disciplined box him from Callum Smith just stayin at range they're a tremendous right hand shot there he Smith very disciplined concentration level very good indeed holding his concentration listening to his corner [Applause] so to the fifth round George Grosz competing in his 19th scheduled 12 round contest tonight Callum Smith used the 9th time over the championship distance Rose has gone in 12 round course on seven occasions completed the twelve round distance which four occasions including his most two most recent outings as we see the explosive heavy hands of jawed groves and the numbers he's stopped inside of six Callum Smith has gone to 12 round championship distance in the Porter am semi-final of the World Boxing Super Series against Coghlan we put his hand on the floor in the 11th round and a late substitute substitute Suzuki halston success from George Grosz Smith remaining composed so that he was boxing toward it during the fight to gain Colston he said with no disrespect he found himself rather bored on occasions right hand attempted causing drugs to cover up to their weight in a circle to shore to the mark there's a good right hand to the body from the champion Callum's to me said he was boxing to order listening to what Joe Gallagher said in the corner and the main objective was to come through it without picking up an injury from a clash of heads or a stray elbow from the rugged substitute former kickboxer Miki whole scheme he said that he will box to the level of the opponent of his opponent and promises a career best performance tonight [Applause] you'll be able to impose the tactics that have been devised by the corner in this contest Warner comes up with the tactics of course but then it's down to the boxes to fill in the blanks and go out there and execute who will be able to do that over the championship round as we see the numbers through this judge of the contest the contest where usually awaiting for him to learn that big shot to really get the crowd going but here let's do the way around.you is the CP waiting for Carrie Smith around long straight right um is forward somebody at the front longer here still discipline display this is a better open Rose has been busier because I think he knows he's probably behind Chavez few members go from groves and then a sharp indeed right hand out of the Orthodox that Smith with another telescopic right hand it was countered by groves and then a good left jab from Callum Smith but look at the double jab success from George gross [Applause] being issued from referee Lewis Pavone of Puerto Rico the legs came together was almost a little sweet that saw kiplyn Smith take a trip to the canvas in the closing stages of this fifth round [Applause] family all right in his look of combat with this right all before looking into the pills he shoot your right hand bet around from George Groves busier slips a good shot there and then brings that right hook across and it to the body but again Callen Smith not really coming over that from fort not getting it in at close quarters that's a terrific job there a good right side counter from Callen Smith the good work with the left hand from George Grosz here that the feet get tangled all you know six of one half a dozen the suppose as they say [Music] well if that type of contest very little in it which award or the former WBC super middleweight champion of the world has them dead level at this stage of the contest which he would all of a whole host of British boxers who have enjoyed success in the super middleweight division it was a good shot from Callum Smith once again but counted immediately by a jolting left jab from George Groves it's a super shot where you smoke again Eastern Time groves so set in these waves but no left hand of his responds well put the EDC shots there Smith's got his timing in his accuracy right here tonight automated what a rich team of success these tools have been weight division is be for British boxes 13 men held World Championship honors at 168 pounds or twelve stones full mention rich award all alongside me was about George Grosz who was up to the ring at the moment rocky fielding is a double a regular champion all started by Mary Sutherland the first-ever Street a middleweight champion world tartan shorts and winning the vacant IBF title way back in 1984 and abusin terrific boxers between the current champions we have and very startling new products started rooster war the peerless Joe cows Agee who was 46 ago another good right um there when can Smith the legs just bobbled slightly there from groves is a good shot right - frog groves Smith's staying in the pocket targeting a corkscrew did another jolting left grocer using all of his experience remaining composed continuing to fire fates in the direction of the Challenger jolting left jab said in grocers direction from Smith Road responded with the same shot Calum Smith being six foot three congealed groves you would think the favored contest more in at close quarters but he's very very good on the inside [Music] [Applause] [Applause] causes groans just to take refuge on the ropes and cover up not sure whether it was a balance thing or he was affected by the shot but he's footing wasn't stable momentarily to dictate the proceedings with that left jab once again lifted right to the body was almost tempted by right over the top from Smith but the shot was alive from the Challenger not a very good round of boxing [Applause] chuckling in the boy with you ain't ever good boxing from Smith long range right on there bang on the button but again doesn't really go forward and before fall into his opponent that's probably the secret to EC is success when he asked close that the gap here grows had a little bit more success but Smith still very capable on the inside rose trying to get through there that right hand comes with keeping the guard nice and high who was back with his own short range work but the success from Callum Smith is definitely all at long range for me into the second half of this world championship bout that he's scheduled for 12 six rounds completed as scheduled six rounds to go a seesaw contest to this point both men demonstrating conclusion punches effectively each enjoying moments of success and remaining incredibly concentrated were the concentration of Callum Smith betray him as broad gross suggests the earth during one contest grows backing up once again Smith working incessantly behind a trip hammer left jab Rhodes coming up while trying to right hand to the body can't find them or chop the right hand from Smith one too far away once more still maintains that discipline displaying here the Smith on the outside [Applause] it's not engaged advocate long range from the Challenger they think George blows his strugglers whipping right-hander on a corner that almost sneaked behind a left birth of the Challenger second right hand was a similar shot on a similar trajectory but it was short now both men looking to bring their right hand step into play with increasing regularity sharpshooting left jab from George Grosz this is a contest that really does demand your full attention because both of these men are capable of bending about with one shot good right hands to the body slug grows that was a low blow beneath the belt line of Callum Smith [Applause] [Applause] the monetary growth is gonna be the count [Applause] who's taking the title with a dramatic [Applause] former champion George Groves who suffers his fourth loss in the professional ranks [Applause] yesterday number one status trophy and he joins the legendary figures Joe Calzaghe II and Andre Ward to become just the third super middleweight champion and the man from Liverpool has proved as good as his word he said that your growth was there for the taking and this is how he did it yeah we said George Grosz was struggling a little bit in this round he throws the right time but then gets cool with a peach of a left hook I think Adam Smith really did smell the win here just keep the attack going sustains the pressure hurting downstairs with that shot most definitely what a performance from Kalin Smith very disciplined display let's have another look at this left hook a right hand comes over from groves doesn't get that hand back to the on guard position Smith comes across with that left hook and then keeps the attack going pinzhi saponin what's his body shot coming in Danny was there that hurt most definitely finishes him off tremendous display there from Callum Smith I mean that's a trick good right on there from groves but he doesn't get the shot back to the young guard position like I said and that left hook comes across it really is a cracking punch but he keeps the attack going he knows victory seize victory these sights and hits his opponent left some rights downstairs good body shot coming up uppercut as well a super displayed from Callum Smith a disciplined display they got an attacking spot on long-range boxing but that was a superb finish well look at the manner in which he throws this left hook which started George Grosz his problems partially defending a right hand from the champion he then I'm caught a left hook and once he had his man in trouble he was relentless patience accurate punches being picked to both head and body hard right hand causes George Grosz to hinge at the hip and when the hands came down a right uppercut ripped through the middle and George Grosz continued to absorb heavy leather from Callum Smith who seized his moment in ruthless fashion and he joins his brother Liam to extend their family legacy this is Callum Smith watching it back on the big screen in the arms of his trainer Joe Gallagher who was the 2015 Ring Magazine and British trainer of the year and is that corner who have got their tactics right tonight and this is the moment of celebration for Callum Smith he promised the performance of a lifetime most notably for his sister Holly you see that he has that word autism on his waistband his 17 year old sister Holly has autism she requires 24-hour care and he said that inspired by her and a manner in which she deals with autism he was going to deliver the performance of a lifetime and come home a world champion nice to see that respect between the two camps he's been a long time coming this world title shot for Callum Smith but patience is a virtue and his patience has been rewarded George Grosz was the number one super middleweight in the world for Ring Magazine boxing news & boxing monthly and in taking the title from jorde gross surely Callum Smith has taken that number one status as well he's got the Ring Magazine championship belt he's got the inaugural Muhammad Ali trophy and the WBA super world super middleweight title to make it all team British boxes who have held world honors at 168 pounds ladies and gentlemen referee Lewis Powell ghazal halted his contest the official time of the stoppage two minutes and four seconds of round and number seven your winner by knockout he'll now take home Jovie and the new super middleweight champion [Applause] [Music] [Applause] while Kalamunda Smith is absolutely ecstatic [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] so Callum Smith with the WBC diamond belt over his left shoulder that's the strap he bought into this contest but around his waist he has the WBA super title there is the deposed former champion he said that if he wins retirement was an option at the conclusion of this contest he's lost in the fashion that he has what does the fistic future hold for George broach here's their bonds welcome Rashidah Ali [Applause] [Applause] ladies to interview caliber Smith Gabriel thank you very much David Callum that's quite a collection you've got there now including of course the inaugural Muhammad Ali trophy World Boxing Super Series super middleweight champion but that let's put you through unforgettable yeah I'll forget to believe it's been a long time coming and the sounds where you think I've waited this long for one chance if it don't take here we'll another one come and you start out running oh you let it out to keep imple I've said for a long time I'm a big believer in my own ability and I were they a man and I was good enough to become a world champion and become the best on the planet and I believe I've done and I think had to slow a couple of years and people kind of forgot me and forgot oh good the warden that was carefully even under thing tonight a reminder people I'll go there will talk us through the ends of the fight you go fight and I was talking how I'll have to watch your back what I felt I was ahead at the time of the stoppage in I was more pleased because I was feels beat him at his own game in the boxing match of distance and using our brains and I felt I was winning and that's all people thoughts I couldn't cope with a man he was the world-class job and stuff and I always knew I had the power to finish him for I shoulder her liver and fortune ability as well that was key was it just the way that you were boxed from distance that's something you talked about clearly with Joe Gallagher your coach yeah we knew girls could play the patient game he could do got all nights sit and wait and wait and set you know for the big shot to know we know he's heavy under than I knew I could do that myself and there was a bit of a chess match in I got my big shots office then he couldn't take it and I finally got the finish ball no credit to George Grosz a great champion is a very medical career and so my perspective coming through the ranks and was all sharing room and you know whether he carries on or not I'd like to wish him good whatever he does what does this world title win then you said it's been a long time coming the opportunity you've grabbed it with both hands when it arrived just a mate it's very very soon you only just a world champion but sum it up and the collection you have now but what this represents having waited so yea waited so long and I think it's like buses the or come at once and it just means then and I'm not on money shows a lot of emotion you know and I've said before and I'm gonna being disrespectful that any title level whatever won't previously bought I've never been satisfied and you never see me you know over next attitude with any it when any title bow I think you seen tonight on which this means to me it's a lifetime's away it hold on into one I'm sure you pay tribute as well for three fellows here your brothers Stephen Liam and Paul all here tonight and of course as well your coach Joe Gallagher who you said you didn't show emotion Joe you were in tears at the end there yeah there was just a bit emotional it's just an being a long journey with Callum frustration of being denied will title opportunities we went in this tournament and to become a world champion and we're leaving a world champion full credit to George Groves in his team were really pleased that in the final before the number one seed the number one champ fighter in the world no one can deny Colin Smith is not the number one in the world tonight now and it was a great fight and this is the beginning desert desert is in there's a new name in the super middleweight division and the torch has been passed tonight and what does it mean finally to you as a boxer at a Liverpool from a family of boxers out of Liverpool I think maybe summer felt maybe you as a as a collective group haven't maybe got the praise you've deserved tonight maybe that might change yeah hopefully and you know I like to think we're not finished we've still got a lot of big night dinners and you know no it was great come together to win these poor I'd love to the family world titles but Liverpool and give a great fight City a great night a world championship watching winter don't feel the bad enough for over the last few years congratulations Callum there's Joe with a Muhammad Ali trophy Calvin Smith ladies and gentlemen your new world champion and we can have a word actually as well with the former world champion but George groves as calamus said there made a great deal of respect to you just just some up tonight and obviously it's a sad night for you but your initial thought is not meant to be you know I think full full credit to Callum boxed box well heavy heavy handed you know called move a body shot in the end is very embarrassing for me I've never been hurt before destroyed my life so I can't believe it but ya know for full credit to him I'm a fantastic job was the heavier handed than you expected no we knew we knew he could punch we knew you could punch you know he's got height and reach on me as well so I didn't really want to go 5050 we've been trading I was making him miss and then trying to make him pay I was adding a few shots myself but obviously so was he and then he you know he got a decisive shot in the end you've had to fight to get back to this position to fight again but how was the shoulder how did you find it what was it in any way a factor tonight well I think it looked all right then it felt all right you know it was flying out there was lightly and fast in in in the change of room you know I'm not only to make excuses the shot the shoulder worked Kalen as I say to his credit a man on the night and for someone like me that's tough to say so you know I can only be honest full credit to him and what now give you any idea what might happen next you know obviously I think that's something that you've been considering your future I'm gonna have a good rest for now I'd not I'm not retiring you know I don't know what's next but it's been a dogged year now longer you know I was it was little over a year ago I won the World title which was I'm the most emotional I've ever done and I miss my family I miss my kids like so I want to get home as here George groves thank you very much indeed ladies and gentlemen a fantastic fighter he's been fantastic in the world boxing Super Series George Groves ladies and gentlemen thank you for attending the World Boxing Super Series we want to thank the people of Saudi Arabia and the general Sports Authority of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia suga none thank you very much [Applause] so as Callum Smith and his family posed for images which will be captured for posterity we can now take a look back at the highlights of what has been an historic evening here in the World Boxing Super Series professional boxing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the very first time in this final of the suta middleweight tournaments the battle for the Muhammad Ali Trophy between the tournament top two seeds and in the final analysis it was the younger man the number to see the Challenger who deposed the man who was champion coming in to take his WBA super world super middleweight title the Ring Magazine championship belt and the inaugural Muhammad Ali trophy in the super middleweight division [Applause] Jerome Smith in the dressing room l'homme I came back okay good luck publishing [Applause] well it was a cagey contest to begin with Ricci war dollars both men were looking to establish their lead left hands George Grosz as he said in his post-fight interview his shoulder was working with terrific efficiency lightning fast left jab with plenty of variety but there were the first example we saw the punching power of Callum Smith with that right hand I think he was good punching from Smith tremendous and right on counters and also right unjustly d'etat he was quicker to the punch it seemed tonight I think George Groves his hands have always been low all his career and you know and wait if his opponents to come over that front foot but that wasn't the case tonight from Carol Smith he never made those mistakes he was patient he boxed at distance I always thought that George Grosz was in the contest before he had a couple of good rounds but Callum Smith's accuracy and precision when they're in the close quarters here Callen Smith he's still dish now on the inside but there's a good right hand around the corner there from George Grosz that this is this is the when he gets out he gets stopped so he throws a right hand in South gets called at the left off and then what's the body shop look that's the one and George gross said about it that he's never really been hurt by a body shop before in his career but that one he really really felt took the wind out of his sails tremendous sustained assault from Hammersmith and he's done his job but it was a tremendous display very very impressive discipline display from Cal Smith had done their homework all credit to the camp and yeah very the champion indeed of good performance have a look there's the right hand and then he replies as mr. Smith with that shopping left off great shot keeps the attack going uppercut on the inside there just skims the target but this one this is the shot then maybe a finished there look you can see him wince really feeling the pain there and it just sends George Grosz down and the jubilant Calum Smith that was a good display really was and open to this tournament run all day and perform too well you know people said that he's labored through these points victories his last two contests have gone the distance but today he got the tactics right and he always said that he would perform better against a better opponent well you know Jorge Gomes was world champion and it was calendar Smith that rose and got up there tonight you
