00:00 the year.
00:00 I'm going to be a little bit of a
00:01 little bit of a double stamp.
00:02 You're right.
00:05 Right.
00:06 Yes.
00:06 Oh that is a little too much.
00:09 Yes.
00:09 You don't.
00:10 Well here stateside we will give
00:20 out the title of prospect of the
00:22 year.
00:23 You like saying it's a double
00:24 stamp.
00:24 We'll stamp.
00:25 Yeah.
00:28 This is the rookie of the year by
00:30 the Japan Boxing Seven or no with
00:33 six knockouts to use in the black
00:36 to get a shot.
00:39 Easy on the eyes clean.
00:44 Nice 30 and placement.
00:49 I like the way he's very much
00:52 a little bit of a double first
01:03 round.
01:04 Usually the fill out round where
01:07 each guy's gather information
01:08 gather distance looking to get
01:10 their rhythm get in their timing
01:12 get their rhythm and timing down
01:13 of their opponent.
01:14 It's very important for Horikawa.
01:17 He has not been as active as you
01:20 would prefer him to be.
01:22 The first fight he's had now in
01:24 14 months.
01:25 He has one fight in 2020 one
01:28 fight in 21 just one fight a
01:31 year ago and inactivity is never
01:37 good for a fighter.
01:38 You know you always want to be
01:40 active sharpening your tools
01:42 working on the things that you
01:44 been working on in the gym.
01:45 It's going to take Horikawa
01:46 sometime to warm up get
01:49 acclimated in there.
01:51 Typically I say four rounds he
01:53 doesn't have four rounds so I'm
01:55 sure they warmed them up really
01:56 well inside the locker room.
01:58 Good right hand.
02:08 I like about Sakam is he's
02:16 walking forward he got caught
02:18 with the right hand but he's
02:20 under his feet.
02:20 Good balance.
02:21 Walking forward good jab.
02:23 He's stocking but he's not he
02:26 doesn't seem to be in a rush.
02:28 As the fight reach advantage as
02:33 you can see.
02:34 Inside as he's forward keeping
02:37 his head on the line.
02:38 What Horikawa is using is.
02:45 He's using footwork.
02:46 Great angles.
02:48 Just a fight away from Robles
02:55 Ramirez his title defense.
02:57 He recently talked about the
03:00 sacrifices he has had to make
03:02 for his family and leaving Cuba.
03:03 As he will be in action making
03:10 the first defense of his
03:11 featherweight title here in
03:13 Tokyo.
03:15 You know you're losing when you
03:16 put a fight in.
03:18 You know you're losing when you
03:20 put a fight in.
03:21 You know you're losing when you
03:21 put a fight in.
03:22 You know you're losing when you
03:22 put a fight in.
03:23 You know you're losing when you
03:23 put a fight in.
03:24 You know you're losing when you
03:24 put a fight in.
03:25 You know you're losing when you
03:25 put a fight in.
03:26 You know you're losing when you
03:26 put a fight in.
03:27 You know you're losing when you
03:27 put a fight in.
03:28 You know you're losing when you
03:28 put a fight in.
03:29 You know you're losing when you
03:29 put a fight in.
03:30 You know you're losing when you
03:30 put a fight in.
03:31 You know you're losing when you
03:31 put a fight in.
03:32 You know you're losing when you
03:32 put a fight in.
03:33 You know you're losing when you
03:33 put a fight in.
04:01 I'm going to be on the third.
04:05 Ramirez is coming up next.
04:07 He is the co-feature before we
04:08 get to the world championship
04:09 fight between Fulton and
04:11 Inouye.
04:12 Ramirez recently winning his
04:14 world title this past spring
04:16 back in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
04:18 Now gets the spotlight as the
04:20 chief support to Inouye and
04:21 Fulton against a 37-year-old
04:24 Japanese favorite in Satoshi
04:27 Shimizu.
04:28 Shimizu an Olympian for Japan
04:30 but Ramirez is a significant
04:32 favorite to defend his title as
04:34 we are in round number two here
04:36 between Sakuma, the undefeated
04:39 20-year-old prospect and the
04:40 black trumps and Korikawa, the
04:43 23-year-old who is just three
04:45 wins into his career.
04:47 You know one other interesting
04:48 note with Robese Ramirez and
04:50 this is something that we will
04:51 get into prior to that fight
04:53 with Mark Regal is the fact that
04:55 of course he takes great pride
04:57 in defecting from Cuba and
04:59 constantly being vocal for the
05:02 push for a free Cuba.
05:04 Well, in the lead up to this
05:06 event, the Cuban communist
05:08 regime reached out through their
05:12 embassy in Japan to the
05:14 promoters, the network and the
05:17 Japanese administrators of this
05:19 fight and said that they are
05:21 requesting that the Cuban
05:22 national anthem is not played
05:25 prior to Robese Ramirez's fight.
05:27 You can imagine Ramirez's
05:29 reaction to that.
05:31 So that story line continues
05:34 with Ramirez as he is coming up
05:37 in just moments.
05:39 >> This match is starting to
05:41 heat up, Tess.
05:43 >> The kama is starting to drop
05:46 some feints.
05:47 >> Looked to go to the body with
05:49 the right hand there.
05:50 >> Trying to break the rhythm.
05:53 >> Sakuma.
05:58 Nice timing right there with the
06:00 right hand also.
06:05 >> Left hand.
06:07 >> Pivot jab.
06:08 >> Pivot jab coming off the hip
06:10 from Sakuma.
06:15 >> Sakuma seems to have what
06:17 Regal bewildered right now with
06:19 the combinations and the
06:20 pressure he's putting on him.
06:22 >> He's got a lot of power.
06:24 >> He's got a lot of power.
06:25 >> He's got a lot of power.
06:26 >> He's got a lot of power.
06:27 >> He's got a lot of power.
06:28 >> He's got a lot of power.
06:29 >> He's got a lot of power.
06:30 >> He's got a lot of power.
06:31 >> He's got a lot of power.
06:32 >> He's got a lot of power.
06:33 >> He's got a lot of power.
06:34 >> He's got a lot of power.
06:35 >> He's got a lot of power.
06:36 >> He's got a lot of power.
06:37 >> He's got a lot of power.
06:38 >> He's got a lot of power.
06:39 >> He's got a lot of power.
06:40 >> He's got a lot of power.
06:41 >> He's got a lot of power.
06:42 >> He's got a lot of power.
06:44 >> So one thing you get about small weight classes, you get punches.
06:47 They don't ignore each other like other weight classes.
06:52 >> This is Inouye's original weight class.
06:54 >> Weight class.
06:56 >> Nice step back right there from the comment.
07:04 >> Go!

08:07 [ Bell rings ]
08:09 [ Cheers and applause ]
08:12 >> Nice.
08:14 >> [ Speaking Japanese ]
08:16 >> Sakamura.
08:26 One thing about Sakamura is he keeps his head on the line.
08:30 He doesn't move his head all too often.
08:33 And that's the reason why Oroikawa is able to land right hands and jabs
08:38 every time he gets in range.
08:41 Just pay attention to Sakamura's head.
08:55 Just pay attention to his head.
08:57 It's directly on the line.
08:59 Rarely ever moves it off the line.
09:02 >> Try to go underneath with the right hands to the body there.
09:07 >> [ Speaking Japanese ]
09:09 >> There's one-two from Oroikawa.
09:16 >> Oroikawa, he can't miss that one-two.
09:19 He just let his hands go.
09:21 If he can keep his pace up, he'll be able to land that shot more often.
09:28 >> [ Speaking Japanese ]
09:30 >> Ida is the referee.
09:43 Taking the pause in the action here in the midst of round number three.
09:49 >> [ Speaking Japanese ]
09:52 >> [ Speaking Japanese ]
09:54 >> Can't put Ben off that long.
10:07 Oroikawa is doing a good job.
10:09 >> He is. >> Not so bad.
10:11 He's holding his own in there.
10:12 >> He's engaged early on.
10:14 Got a hop in his step.
10:16 >> And he's varying his attack also.
10:18 He's changing his stares, changing levels.
10:21 Coming around with short hooks around the guard.
10:25 Sakawa.
10:26 Sakawa is just standing straight up looking for the one-two.
10:30 And also getting hit on the way out.
10:33 Not a whole lot of variation in his punches.
10:46 >> When you're in a contest, you become predictable.
10:48 >> Left hand to the body from Kanuma Sakuma.
10:58 >> He hit him with that left hook to the body.
11:03 You can see the reaction and response from Oroikawa.
11:06 >> Look at the elbow, the right elbow, Jimmy.
11:08 As he buries it down with that guard against the body.
11:10 >> I'll let you know.
11:11 And he knows it, too.
11:12 And that's why he's trying to get to it again.
11:15 >> Nice tie-up right there from Oroikawa.
11:17 That's experience.
11:18 >> First time that Sakama stepped up to eight-round status in his career.
11:32 As we are three rounds through this matchup scheduled for eight here in Tokyo, Japan.
11:42 It is now in a way as the featured attracts him.
11:46 Second straight time he has fought at Ariake Arena.
11:50 Second straight time that he has sold out every seat at Ariake Arena.
11:54 This venue that was built in 2020 for the Summer Olympics.
11:59 They spent 35 billion yen on it as it was home to Olympic volleyball.
12:03 And in just a few hours, it'll be home to one of the most anticipated fights in recent Japanese boxing history.
12:11 As Stephen Fulton from Philadelphia, the Unified Junior Featherweight World Champion,
12:17 has taken on the challenge to come to Japan to defend against the monster.
12:24 The 24-0 power-punching elite.
12:27 Now in a way, that is coming up at approximately 8 a.m. Eastern Time, U.S. Time.
12:33 Thrilled that you're with us.
12:35 As we're calling these fights "Overnight from Las Vegas,"
12:38 where come Friday night on ESPN+, we will have the undefeated Sinise Superbad Estrada in action.
12:45 Round number four between Sakama, the undefeated 20-year-old prospect, and Horikawa.
12:52 In that last round, it was the left hand to the body that did damage for Sakama.
12:58 Let's see if he can get to that shot again.
13:06 See the hands really high of Horikawa.
13:09 Usually he pins up and goes up into a high guard, exposing his body.
13:15 Let's see if Sakama...
13:19 If he can locate that shot to the liver again.
13:23 Oh, nice.
13:31 Missed with the right hand, came back with the left to the body.
13:35 Nice check hook right there from Horikawa.
13:37 Horikawa was able to answer with that left hand.
13:41 Oh, that was a nice right hand right underneath the jab. That's a sneaky shot.
13:57 That hurts.
13:59 Horikawa will pop that left hand again.
14:02 Right on the screen.
14:03 Sakama's trying to close the gap.
14:05 Yeah, but I like that. I like the change up in cadence from Sakama.
14:09 Sakama, excuse me.
14:11 Ooh, beautiful right hand.
14:14 Got his mask.
14:28 Yeah, this pace is frantic. Like a frantic pace.
14:32 That pressure drains you physically, also drains you mentally.
14:36 You're always having to react, always having to respond, always having to defend.
14:40 And you're taking shots, and you're trying to get your own shots.
14:43 And you start to see Horikawa starting to break down a little bit.
14:48 A little bit.
14:49 Sakama able to block that right hand from Horikawa.
15:09 Oh, that was a nice step back just to get out of range.
15:11 Make that punch miss. Come back with a counter.
15:14 Another one. Beautiful step back.
15:22 It's a great move. Underused.

17:52 And a four, which takes a lot of power.
17:54 And a four, which takes a lot of power.
17:56 Nice variation right there from Sakamoto.
17:58 Combination just changing.
18:02 The direction of his punches mid-flight.
18:06 Using a jab, short hook, right hand right down the middle.
18:09 Good jab from Sakamoto.
18:18 [crowd cheering]
18:20 Sakamoto with a left uppercut and then two right uppercuts.
18:30 Sakamoto is finishing strong.
18:43 Just walking down Orakawa.
18:47 [crowd cheering]
18:49 Ooh, nice right hand.
19:11 Sharp right hand landed flush.
19:13 He snuck 'em. He wasn't ready.
19:16 Jumped in and landed it.
19:18 Tried to come over the top that time was Orakawa.
19:23 Yeah, Sakamoto needs to work on his defense.
19:27 No doubt about it.
19:29 Keeping his head on the line too long.
19:31 He'll get it knocked off sooner or later when he gets in there with a real punch.
19:34 [bell ringing]
19:36 [crowd cheering]
19:38 [crowd cheering]
20:06 Change on the inside.
20:08 The uppercuts from Sakamoto as he doubled up that right hand.
20:12 Orakawa was able to land to the body.
20:14 And then the left hook and the left uppercut.
20:17 Before he dipped his weight to the other side and came back with the right uppercut twice.
20:22 [bell ringing]
20:35 [crowd cheering]
20:37 [crowd cheering]
20:45 Round number six scheduled for eight between these 108 pounders.
20:59 Konami Sakamoto in the black trunks is the prize prospect in Tokyo.
21:05 Trying to get himself to 8 and 0.
21:08 He has some skills, Tess. Definitely does.
21:15 No punching in between.
21:17 He's got a nice step back game.
21:19 Good jab. Good body puncher.
21:22 Only thing is he needs to work on his defense.
21:25 Sakamoto just needs to work on his defense.
21:27 Getting his head off the line as often as possible.
21:30 I've seen him do some angles as well.
21:33 Nice little shifts in the inside.
21:36 Orakawa with a left hand to the body.
21:48 Finished that three punch combination.
21:50 Found a home to Sakamoto's body.
21:53 Sakamoto likes to sit mid-range and that's the problem.
21:55 He's sitting mid-range not doing anything and Orakawa is just teeing off on him.
21:59 Again, that head directly down the center line.
22:02 In the line of fire.
22:06 Nice.
22:07 Yeah, the footwork is what's creating those angles.
22:31 And punches.
22:34 For Orakawa.
22:36 Orakawa definitely using the experience right now.
22:53 Has weathered the storm and has gotten acclimated to the power and the pace.
23:01 The one-two from Sakamoto.
23:04 Orakawa trying to get himself off the ropes there.
23:08 Backed up now. Right hand will do it as he gets out the side door.
23:12 He's sneaky with those shots, man. Good timing.
23:30 I know what's caught, but just saying, just great timing from Orakawa.
23:34 Using his legs to create those angles for those punches.
23:37 Will history be made in our main event?
23:39 Stephen Fulton and Naoya Inoue as Inoue tries to become a four-division world champion.
23:46 There have only been 21 in the history of boxing.
23:50 And only two, Nonito Donair and Leo Santa Cruz, have been four-division world champions
23:56 where it overlaps in this weight class, 122 pounds.
24:00 Of course, you know Inoue and his history with Donair.
24:04 One victory, the fight of the year.
24:06 The other victory, one of the most impressive, destructive performances we have seen in the modern game.
24:13 You know, that was surprising to me.
24:17 I think that Inoue looked the sharpest I've ever seen him.
24:24 In his last fight against Nonito Donair.
24:27 I did not see that coming. He stopped him in a few rounds.
24:31 And this is Nonito Donair we're talking about.
24:34 A fighter with that much experience, athleticism, and that much power.
24:40 Donair and Santa Cruz, four-division world champions that have belts at 118 pounds and 122 pounds.
24:51 Now, Inoue, you consider his run 108 pounds, 115 pounds, 118.
24:59 And now, looking to match what Donair and Santa Cruz did of also being a world champion at 122 pounds.
25:06 That, of course, is the much anticipated main event.
25:09 Stephen Fulton, now Inoue, that is coming your way at approximately 8 o'clock Eastern U.S. time.
25:18 As this action is coming to you live from Tokyo, Japan right now.
25:22 Where it is just after 6.30 in the evening on Tuesday night.
25:27 The new Sakaba in the black trunks, the undefeated prospect.
25:32 As he looks to take control down the stretch here, round number 7, his first scheduled 8-round fight.
25:46 Horikawa looking for the uppercut on the inside, willing to take steps forward.
25:50 Sakaba slowed down a bit.
25:59 That's why you're starting to see Horikawa steam forward ahead, letting his combinations go.
26:06 Missed with the left hook, came back with the right hand.
26:13 Yeah, when you land with big shots like that, Tess, the adrenaline gives you like almost an adrenaline shock.
26:20 That's why you're seeing the surging right now from Horikawa.
26:25 Like what I'm seeing out of Horikawa here, at least willing to trade with the heavily favored, undefeated young prospect.
26:41 Horikawa's taking him to a place he ain't been yet.
26:43 He is.
26:44 Best action we've seen so far in the fight.
26:48 Heats up right in the middle of the ring here in round number 7.
26:51 Sakaba's doing the right thing by going down to the body.
26:54 Ooh, nice uppercut on the inside.
26:56 Short right hand on the inside.
26:58 And he tries to get that second uppercut to get in as well.
27:03 Punching between punches and finding success is Sakaba.
27:10 [crowd cheering]
27:12 One round to go here between these two.
27:23 Best action we've seen with Sakaba and Horikawa as we lead the way to the biggest moment in the career of the undefeated champion from Philadelphia, Stephen Full.
27:35 [crowd cheering]
27:39 This is a great challenge for me.
27:40 I'm putting myself out of my element.
27:42 We're in his country, he'll be comfortable.
27:44 Me, I'm defending over there.
27:46 So I have to do everything I gotta do to bring my titles back, defend, and defeat him.
27:53 And we both have a name.
27:54 He has his country behind him as well as his knockout power.
27:58 He's a technical fighter, I'm a technical fighter.
28:01 He's a smart fighter, I'm a smart fighter.
28:03 Those type of fighters together, it kind of shakes the divisions up.
28:08 When you're the underdog, you're like overlooked or underlooked.
28:11 However you want to put it.
28:12 I've seen and heard a lot of things that people were saying about the power or he may not have the chin or this person or anyways is this and he's that.
28:23 And it's like, I like that.
28:25 I like those type of comments.
28:26 That made me like, alright, they don't believe in me.
28:28 Well, let's make them believers.
28:30 Going out to Japan and defeating him in his country, that's major.
28:35 I love that attitude of Scooter Fulton when he says, "Well, let's make them believe."
28:42 Listen, he listens just like everybody else.
28:44 He knows what people are saying.
28:45 That's right.
28:46 How, in a way, it's perceived.
28:49 Some of the critics saying, "Does Fulton really have the power to keep him off?"
28:53 He loves it.
28:55 He loves the role that he gets to play.
28:57 Says, "I listen to it and it all means they don't believe in me."
29:00 Well, let's make them believers.
29:03 Everybody's going to believe in Stephen Fulton for sure if he wins this fight.
29:08 He will be right there among the elites on the pound for pound list.
29:11 This is the 8th and final round before we get to the first of our two world title fights.
29:17 Sakaba and Hirakawa, the pace has picked up here in this final round.
29:22 Robese Ramirez, world championship defense is coming up next.
29:26 Then at approximately 8 a.m. Eastern time, it'll be the 122-pound title fight.
29:35 Stephen Fulton, the unified champion, putting his belts on the line against Naruya Inoue.
29:40 We are broadcasting live from Las Vegas, these fights in Tokyo,
29:47 as we are in position for Sinisa Estrada's championship fight this Friday at the Palms Casino.
29:56 We are ringside in Vegas for what's coming your way Friday,
30:00 calling the action that's happening in Tokyo.
30:03 [crowd cheering]
30:29 Sakuma's having to dig deep right now.
30:33 He's showing what he has on the inside. He's fighting back.
30:37 Beautiful shot right there.
30:41 Trying to chase him down.
30:44 Can't deny his toughness.
30:52 Those guys are putting on a show.
30:59 Especially the last two rounds.
31:02 Sakuma stalking and a big right hand comes in.
31:09 You heard him with that right hand. You see his legs are not looking stable at all.
31:13 It's a big right hand from Sakuma and the knockdown is scored.
31:19 Nope, they're calling that a slip. You can hear the alternate ref starting a count.
31:24 But he gets back up and now that left hand finishes it.
31:27 A TKO victory for the young, unbeaten prospect, Konuma Sakuma.
31:34 He moves to 8-0 with seven knockouts as he really came on strong in the seventh
31:41 and then picked up the pace with destructive fashion in the eighth.
31:45 A right hand came in flush. He chased him down with a left hook.
31:50 And that's the way you close it on a spotlight card in Tokyo for him.
31:57 As Horikawa is still being tended to.
32:11 You're taking a look at him as they undo his gloves and wraps.
32:16 An impressive go of it for the guy who two years ago was voted by the Japan Boxing Commission
32:22 third version of prospect of the year, the rookie of the year.
32:26 Steps up to eight round status and against the guy in Horikawa, who was game through much of the fight.
32:34 Was very game through much of the fight.
32:36 Sakuma turns it on at the end and gets exactly what he was looking for.
32:43 [MUSIC]
32:52 Back and forth action for both gentlemen here.
32:56 Sakuma with that swivel jab. Beautiful work right there.
33:01 You know, he was a ferocious pace.
33:04 You know, both guys are landing, going back and forth.
33:07 Beautiful exchange on the inside right there from Sakuma going down to the body.
33:12 He did a little bit of everything tonight.
33:14 You know, one area he needs to work on is definitely his defense.
33:18 Need to work a little bit more on his footwork.
33:21 As you can see, his head is directly in the center, allowing Horikawa to land some significant big bombs on him as well.
33:28 But that right hand right there, that did some serious damage to Horikawa.
33:34 And as you see, the referee stepping in, seeing the man injured. Danger.
