palpable take that just a winner of Oz for both these two fighters this truly is the battle for Los Angeles here 1:26 the combined record 59 and 132 knockouts as you look at Leo Santa Cruz Oh slightly more than a tuna one favorite and any time in boxing if you get odds two-to-one or you know close to even money this is almost a pickup fight it truly is a pic of it and you got a look at the the unspoken truth the matter is the only reason Lou Leo Santa Cruz is the favored in this fight is because of the knockout loss at the hands of John Gonzalez - after Marez without that loss an undefeated after bars would definitely be the favor in this fight but Leo Santa Cruz not just the favorite he's got some other advantages he's the taller fighter he's the younger fighter he's also got a reach advantage and he's moving up your weight though and that's what the Mars people are saying hey he's coming up to 126 and that's my territory he's coming up for 122 and people say hey four pounds that's nothing in this division that's a lot and that's the guy holding on at 126 after bar is this guy actually both fighters for that fact have never been accused of being in a boring fight at both the fighters leading into this match promised fight of the year performance tonight I'll tell you what you could feel it in the crowd this crowd as will 50/50 it's a half forest crowd a half the old Santa Cruz crowd I think no matter what though we are all in gets stored for a great treat disease look at this bar is a champion in 118 122 and 126 few guys like Eric Morrell and wants a Tele home and Santa Cruz the champion at 118 and 120 - he is still a champion at once went to as he comes up at 126 for something called a super championship punches another version of the belt so no risk for him and we're also going to see the start to show Hugo Ruiz and Julio Cesare say huh super bantamweight championship set for 12 rounds and these are also guys with glittering credentials glittered credentials both fighters heavy handed high output high hard punchy you've got Louise West 35 wins two losses but 31 of those victories have come by way of knockout and at the blue corner of the other side we've got Julio Cesar say huh who's got 29 victories one loss at 26 knockouts to action-packed fighters and for the little guys they pack a mean punch say house only loss came in a bantamweight championship fight with Jamie McDonald who was named sound familiar we're gonna see him next week in Texas we'll be talking more about that throughout the show and fighters getting warmed up grease and say hi the what you like to see the sweat this way you ever want to see a bad edge of the Ring gold lemme take a look at how Ruiz got here going back to 2014 the only loss that we mentioned Koki kameena one of his major losses along with Jimmy McDonald very good portfolio absolutely absolutely back in November of 2014 he has away by the TKO over fidelity and also a win over Robo mass TKO and in March of 2014 then going back to September of 2013 decision Julio Cesar Miranda also decision Giovanni Caro and then we go all the way back to 2012 you see that loss split decision loss actually to Koki to beta four wins since then and that loss to comater was for a 118-pound championship so got a big win in 2010 which occurred a little before that graphic Super Fly division victory so another big win for him was the Miranda one which you do see their hero since 2006 record of 35 and two three knockouts and comes in here should have a little bit of a reach advantage as Wiley's from Los Mochis in Mexico so this is also all Mexico battle not guys made in Mexico and then coming here these guys still are from Mexico two banks get purebred as we look backstage we see say how warming up getting loose and another one like Dave pointed out with Ruiz sweat on the brow glistening looking ready for war tonight [Applause] he's won five fights in a row losing that title bout to MacDonald it

unanimous decision win over Oscar blanket also at November took out by a knockout final mark Duran also took out rado soup game with a knockout in April of 2014 in February 2014 he took out a soos Acosta also by way of TKO and Laura back to October 13th Juan Jose Montes also tasted the campus at the hands julio caezar say and just before that shake your head and look at what goes on with the judging and his loss 113 115 114 114 and 110 118 Wow so you just never know what kind of disparity that you're going to see and many of his fights since then he's been able to take the judges out of

con las camisas buena suerte LS Tina's para la campaña - Oh Tom Izzo's they understood that Mexico here's detail the tape rich advantage for Ruiz age 28 versus 22 let's see how the height reached numbers work for you go Louise that's one of our story lines they start up we're going to look at in this fight mister but they are Yukon tempo some had Joey Varner with you here in Los Angeles and welcome to the show you're gonna have that battle right away whether Louise can establish that reach use it well you saw earlier say how come out with two Pollock jabs Louise answer back at a longer distance with a quit snapping jab just touched his forehead did it really pop it but he did it at a distance that is conducive for him to control the set of the ring and control the action of his fight stay high we'll be trying to duck inside that Jeb but he must do so the right way because he just walked into a left hook that you've seen these a couple times [ __ ] back and fire that left to crisp tight hasn't made contact when it's bent there body shot by Ruiz say how trying to get inside we should see everything coming at him from say hog and has some good countering opportunities yes say Hut definitely wants to get inside of movies that's get out of joy but he can't just walk in he's got a puncher he's got to move his head off that center line and work his way on the inside work his way into the pocket but it's gonna be hard to do with wheats firing that jab and also that counter left hook he's landed that counter left hook to the body and just missed landing it to the head we has sent the message to say how that there's a cover charge coming in ha ha ha it's a us connect with those last two punches nice hook and there's the effort cut by Ruiz I say ha moved in to try and parlay what he had done [Applause] beautiful countering opportunity is for Ruiz these guys are Bank yes it will goes but I knocked out record for both so we Cubs at the end of the opening round [Applause] and here we take a look back at some of that action now there's the overhead right front say huh Moyes tries to counter would say house just outside a distance what he does it maybe she say how coming in and there were reason was trying to hit it with the counter hook but it was say how got off first his left hook Anita's a castle [Music] [Applause] ready go Bucky go second round action rocket Joel for 12 you go Ruiz and júlio césar's say hot good opening round for Louise is in the darker more complete green on the right of your screen 35 into thirty knockouts say how twenty-eight and one is 26 knockouts and in that opening round Joey sometimes we see power plungers might get crushes because their respective power of the other guy but these guys came out and they let it go bullfighters let it go bold fighters trying and fighting limited success and finding homes for the left hook say Hut did a better job he actually stumbled moves a little bit I don't think damaging punt but Louise was hit and off-balance business thrown and crisp sharp left hook said habit on that market but what did find his marking with that nice right uppercuts Louise did a great job time to say how moving his head right at that center line and snapped it back and say ha who walked into the money punch from a Slugger was able to withstand that it was a good sign for him because he was drilled right on the button say how try to well this way my leaders with a single phase alpha wings and you've got an interesting contrast of styles here we see Louise Bohr's a sharpshooter elbows it tight punches coming straight line Merry Christmas hello Louise gets a little our scuse me say how it gets little loopy with his punches dips on the outside fires over hands and kind of loopy hooks but he's been lately and a higher frequency of the tool yes the idea that he has to dip and fire those shots overcoming their reach disadvantage and ends up being the first part of the strategy how about positioning for how you throw your punches from that standpoint if it's something you're not comfortable going yeah you know what that's biggest is it's the movies head off that sound satellite to Horton Street my trainings my he's got to bring it back at that steps out to counter which puts him right back into position to get hit so you see a lot of when we just saw right there because after he slips on the outside or dips the outside he'll counter and when he comes back to that Center he'll roll out either the left or right it's been a good second round or yes a good first round for Ruiz and a good pulling second rounds or say wide enough are not simple [Applause] and then we take a look back at some action for the previous route Louise beautiful jab to the body follows it right upstairs over the left hand of stay off with the stray right cross straight to the Geneseo you open the car seat thing whenever something Oh Savannah comparing Italian poquito de grasa chemita third-round action you go Ruiz and Julio South pops up in a good one at 122 pounds they fought tempo and Joey varna with you here on premier boxing champions in Los Angeles good matchup of number one number three in the WEC version of the 122-pound champion oh and another right uppercut lands inside just over there accidental clashing heads when we stop the kind of touches four-headed you played about it say how open up and leads to slip that right up and go right up the middle and Dave what we're seeing right now is that style match said we talked about it the straight punches at least versus the loopy bunches of say ha Louise is starting to find his time even started to fight his distance because he's pot shining at picking up shots as saya opens up with a loop a loopy punch Ruiz is doing a good job of beating it with the center shot in Israel before the loopy putts say often wait what's making this more interesting is that seja is getting braver all right that's the truth every time and he has been countered that he has the yes that putts coming in he seems that it brings him a lie he pressed the action board starts firing more punches it could be harder at movies that would with the punch cards lot of took by say huh he's trying to keep them off it's a chat but knows that he has to do something in the power department to keep say hot he's doing a great job of making say huh pay every time ci comes in he's just touching it the quick little counter shot you saw a minute ago he's lived right outside that cross just like he did there he pulled off that right hand and landed a left hand over the top of his own good shots piebald the left hook by Ruiz and the straight right I say huh talkin down say ha as he walked into trouble see just like in round one and he was getting braver any little to parade there how does Louise feel about this opportunity say how did get up quickly if you try to go for the finish who does he believe let's say ha is okay riff is booked Louise putting up say huh hands down dangerous part on a pig right well can't save you look for say it would be divine intervention right [Applause] whooping whooping get Mexico tonight and here let's take a look back at that knockdown you see that right hand coat and justice a hawk comes crushing it eats the left bug taste of the campus another look at it here you see it and like we talked about in the previous round say how was the movie it's the shorter tight boxes of buoys that make their bark first hello fireworks in the building start round four least say hi knocked down in round three by Ruiz Tejas budget office yesterday's news [Music] [Applause] two guys with big knockout records and they're fighting on thirty knockout in 37 fights with our rings say how 26 pounds like if you take away the punch power of both fighters these style matchup is very similar to the one we're going to see in our main event what I mean is Leo Santa Cruz you know is a pressure fighter who force both born loopy punches and after bars the four sharp polished in tighter it's like crisp rider hold the difference though is that Ruiz in this case has the reach advantage of Aras would have the beach disadvantage this final co Santa Cruz something to be the same some will vary a bit as you look at the say huh after after his opponent missed because he was a brilliant decision he sort of shifted his weight quickly to just get that hook in yep cerise thinking on his feet that did not say huh off of his feet the hook pies say huh say huh not fighting this round getting drilled like he did a certain point to that last round he's opening up taking his chances when you're a slug do you know any other way right look at all the knockouts 26 knockouts in 29 price how do you turn him into a style of faultless of it - a Hammer Every Problem looks like a nail this is me singing I like this is never out of a fight with powerstick and you see say huh trying to hammer away I release but he gets fired every time he does cut by say in the ground say hockey tissues to get drilled but keeps coming forward [Applause] take a look back at some of the action for the fourth round you'll see sang up pressing forward doing a good job of countering yes comes in nice jab cross doubles it up jab cross hook Martin when he's trying to fire as he's moving backwards saying I just coming forward the loaded punch says does all of us the micelle or [Applause] but good matchup between heads into round 5 scheduled for 12:00 then turn 122-pound championship on the line already 1 knocked down in this fight registered by Luiz against say up wild fest nearby safe huh he's got the power how does he effectively get himself in position to maximize his punching opportunities well what he's doing right now to get a position he's punching in the position but the problem is that every time she's trying to punch the position he's getting countered his nicked apart as he comes in another way to do it instead of punching the position is move your head into position about drew he's off bully Louise with your footwork with your headphones it into the corner against the ropes but when you get up there Unleashed attack to his body that go upstairs to the head but his his current is current strategy you know until I can see his weight but in fact make the part as he does matter to the power C couple different ways to do it guys bob and weave to get inside and and slipped it to get at the punching position we see some guys if they're in perfect position after they get inside and some guys it throws off the floor lossing the outside then they have no shot before out their own person that's one of those kids turns out with Louise knockdown say how was that adjustment is foot work adjusting his feet but that's what I think's a house gonna have to do when it gets inside is to just those feet keep those feet under you as a punch but also adjust make them to those split-second adjustments as your distance changes as your opponent boobs good pace battle here do not beat down but a terrific fight between the number one and number three contenders a 1222 and here comes say hi maybe this is his opportunity [Applause] he opens up trying to make his case to the North Korean people [Applause] deep trouble [Applause] sudden opportunity and such victory say hi [Applause] when you Mitchell want oh wow always in the fight they're up to that a little job of keeping his right hand nice and high he caught the majority of the left that's a ha through the one time he let it down he paid for it he paid for the knockout loss and what's unique about it is seem to be good another 28 seconds if we stood through that say ha sport enough to know take nothing away did it bake the best defense and instead of covering the lettuce Satan's market somebody shot here's another shot of that same punch left hook straight right on the butt on the chin you see the Josh snapback right hand left say I've got to the punch first to this point it's been please lend me the punch first Santa gets there first right on the butt sandy buoys crashing to the campus don't and here's its without dady be is as Louise gets up from the campus say out hops Aloha and off instinct probably Ruiz obliges that destryed start training back instead of covering up instead of trying to tie him up instead of trying to buy some more time he started punching back which inevitably led to him getting knocked down after a doctor what was called the Tommy Hearns philosophy and one of his fights dropped by James kitchen and he was trying to hold on he said my held on dope on you with my girlfriend hahaha and to buy 30 more seconds than what he would have had to do but that's the beauty of this when they're opens some guys talk through some guys don't and say hi is able to do that harder champion circuit the Knockouts side really appealing about this matchup and two guys they decided to fight that just based on the fact to take a good hit senior waves off the bat for your winner by knockout Julio Cesaro Boyet Oh [Applause] now has they're an interim bail Oh Santa Cruz so we don't know what it'll be Leo wants it back mauricio says he gives it back right now he's a champion and what a way to go coming off the canvas he takes to the canvas in the third he was getting out bugs - he's getting picked apart stay with his attack with his pressure kept firing it kept our meat Louise hoped with the hooker like to sleep because me need to hang up your life after that so suddenly when is against the doubt certainly look like his fight in round three here we see an exact hour there was the left hook of who ease the carrot let's it was say huh that said say hi to the unlike say later in the round Louise could a put-up away and here we see the poor Grady pledges say how fresh off the canvas we'll keep the worse for we're still pressing forward still looking to land that big left hook Louise oblige a bet they trade punches Louise the port round and then in the fifth round this happens they trade left hooks getta types a house Hughie's crushing to the campus Louise gets up and tries to train right again [Applause] try the train now he's just moving his head [Applause] to the body digging to the and let's capture something else that get another looked at here how about say ha creating punching room for himself by backing up you know smell that before he went back in there thinking on his feet in that heated situation moving back so that he couldn't smother himself and that he couldn't be titled and that's just what we talked about in the previous round will be adjustments animate with his footwork adjustments make those split seconds adjustment with your feet creating for space or take the way more space one more thing I love to was the continuous follow-up attacks the body that's really what set buoys crashing into the corner before the referee called to fight there was that body attack he went back downstairs thank you to he upstairs he went back downstairs a rift five six hard shots to the ribcage to the solar plexus of Ruiz and that at the end was Webber babe Louise crashed into that quarter and the referee hop didn't stop the action we looked at we'll get some bonus coverage here Alejandro Luna Sergio Lopez have that fight coming up courtesy julio caezar say ha they can thank him for the TV time they're going to get that was just sent the buzz through this crowd that's what you just love to see great flight the opportunity there and a guy knowing end of the round going for it right here and he may pay for it later by not finishing the job but he seized a chance to try and get it there champion ESPN from Staples Center premier boxing

company so let's see how these swing fighters takes to their task Luna and Lopez Lopez more of a journeyman in 1889 the world of the Minutemen you can already see the difference caliber you see though pest and opinion the spaceport opening with those punches need a much more compact polished and nice entices picking his shots it has a window last outing it was an eight round win and that's the longest fight of his career now going from eight to six sinston usually after eight and go up to ten I wonder if that was a the opponent may be fitted with a schedule couple those things if you agree to be a swing fight maybe you don't get as much money because it around you fight this to get better exposure so all kinds of possibilities there these guys we're expecting to fight maybe analysis right after the Marez but then because of the short nature of the previous fights they get someone didn't how about keeping yourself semi warmed up semi fresh which they both managed to do yeah that's one of the hard things about beat that swing bounce no you have to keep getting up every four five minutes reactivate staying literally five minutes away from eat grandma walked out like a relief pitcher baseball throw just pace assist a couple of these later do it again exactly see you know I talked about a minute ago in the style of Lopez seeping into the space first because I was almost clashing heads and natural clash levels a bunch on that day it did look like the clash be interested to see how it is ruled sense of territory down early on maybe see blood on his left temple this is where we'll be a deep head but it it has that look yes [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] they were taken focus second-round action and search field look bad if you mention that clashes next possible we sought particular but you had to point out the chance I know it's just that style Lopez we begin with this face I'm punching his way in a jab it's just kind of like some guys that is the gym right hand by Dravid stay outside consider the right-hand lead characteristic weapon against the right even if you're fast enough for though [Applause] impression big right hand by [Applause] to adjust to this style it's a frustrating style sometimes the guys whose office it's hard to deal with it could be frustrating for Pilate every other time a lot of times for the propolis matter it doesn't make for the most aesthetically pleasing match [Applause] sometimes when they look back those are the fights they actually gained the most from certain character frustration because you can go for looting already visit an excellent situation [Applause] he's gotta keep his composure he's gotta keep his wits about it solve this riddle the typical riddles [Applause] not the original Paulding either so comes in later you may not have all the scouting you want guna on the attack yes they wound up this thing going up as they grind their way to the end of round number two [Applause] [Music] okay if you are eligible to work upon an operable Sanders the Sanders said he had okay [Applause] we get ready for round three Alejandro searcher Lopez the lightweight division scheduled for six Dave bought tempo and Joey Potter looking from Los Angeles premiere boxing champions Santa Cruz and Papa Morris is after this Lucas cracking solid shot punch get away bringing here racket but you don't see you don't see the deck and Lopez snapping back now you can work on things but you wouldn't develop our you're giving some guy to start milk war were not sleeping there first and it has I say it he he puts that tough to sleep on the chin of low caste whose talent we tried to fight back just like we saw in that previous fight when Sehun had movies hurt he created a little space for himself did not bother himself he did not smother himself here when Luna had Lopez hurt and smothered me to take that half step back keep that distance right from the land of Saul accomplishes good left hook in her right hand and from he said an interesting point in his career label on an 18 and no thirty knockouts you know it's the pastor because he doesn't look any worse threatening does it look like that shot did you know when you got a guy who's coming up and you see he's 15 15 wins 16 and 17 wins he's got 12 13 not knockouts you wonder you know okay is he a boxer puncher but that masochist with 18 19 or where they started stepping up the competition of the challenge with those knockouts don't know much is not a heavy handed fighter this one Oh [Music] and here we take a look back at some of the action around there's that jab cross straight down the pipe Buddha cracks Lopez with the you see Lopez legs buckled the icky shuffle first and just snaps back to head Lopez but you look at Lopez he ate that and he came right back left or right away eyes clear fourth ground action Sergio Lopez 180 no with 13 knockouts and Dwight Lopez 18 9 and 112 knock it senses something really going after Lopez trying to put his power shots together to show anybody do it [Applause] shelled up and froze right there and then Buddha just unbell teaches the barrage the beat down to the referees forced to stop the fight that was a nice argument in favor of being more of a fighter than a boxer because were on the on the cusp would ban the cousin came out with determination he sent to something his right boys if he'd found something in that body shop yeah absolutely let's take a look back at the end of the fight you see Luna just all over a little bit you see that left hook the body stop Lopez in his tracks into his hands downstairs that there is you see he put both hands downstairs blue goes back upstairs it just unloads a fury of punches to the face of Lopez until the referee compensation he had
