00:00 - All right, gentlemen, we went over the entrance
00:02 of the dressing room.
00:03 I expect a clean fight.
00:04 Let's shake hands and back to the corners.
00:07 [cheers and applause]
00:10 - Do not go get a drink.
00:12 Do not go to the bathroom,
00:14 because Richard Torres Jr. has four first-round knockouts.
00:18 Terrell Herndon, well, he's on a three-fight knockout streak,
00:22 part of a longer nine-fight win streak,
00:25 six of those by knockout,
00:26 so he's got a chance to win.
00:28 So there's a lot of power inside the ring
00:31 right now with Torres and Herndon.
00:34 - The right hand of Herndon has the power,
00:38 and that's the punch that gives the Southpaw
00:42 most of the trouble.
00:44 And already, as you see,
00:47 Torres gets off to a fast start.
00:49 He got clipped right there on the way in,
00:51 trying to get inside.
00:53 But that's what makes Torres different.
00:55 He fights at a high pace.
00:57 High-intensity pace,
00:58 and he hits hard with those punches.
01:00 - [shouting]
01:03 - "F.A. Jagba" is a name we've been hearing a lot.
01:07 Tonight, the two fighters before
01:09 both had been able to beat F.A. Jagba.
01:12 Tyrell Herndon lost to F.A. Jagba
01:15 in July 2017 by knockout.
01:17 F.A. Jagba will be our main event
01:19 against Joe Goodall on November 4th in Lake Tahoe,
01:22 so don't miss that fight.
01:24 - Yeah, you cannot resist.
01:26 Yeah, you cannot relax when you're in the ring
01:29 with Torres Jr.
01:30 I mean, if he has one hand free, he's using it.
01:33 - He won't let you relax. That's the thing.
01:36 - Herndon is sitting in that corner
01:38 trying to tie--actually grab one arm or one hand,
01:43 and Torres got busy with the opposite hand.
01:46 - It's that left hand that works so well for him
01:49 and just barely caught part of a glove of Herndon there.
01:53 - You see a little bit of irritation under the right eye
01:57 of Richard Torres Jr.
01:59 You said you wanted him to see in
02:01 against the guy who punches back.
02:03 Herndon can be that guy. Will he be that guy?
02:05 - Yeah, Herndon's right now sitting back
02:07 trying to weather the storm right now,
02:09 trying to buy his time,
02:10 trying not to get knocked out in the first round.
02:14 - Nice angles right there from Torres.
02:17 - Torres, let's watch you.
02:19 Don't turn around. Let's go.
02:22 - See, Torres is able to get to Herndon a lot more often
02:26 is because Torres--
02:28 [laughs]
02:29 Told you, it don't matter what position you're in,
02:32 Torres is gonna hit you.
02:35 Just look at the lead hand jousting.
02:37 You know, that acts as a range finder.
02:39 You see him right here. Level changes.
02:41 You get your opponent looking at you.
02:43 You see the feints they add with that.
02:45 And it also can provide punch traffic.
02:47 And what that means is that it can be a little bit
02:50 of a shield for you.
02:51 Good shot.
02:52 It can be a shield for you,
02:53 so you can use that to deflect punches coming your way.
02:57 But how he's able to get inside is with that.
03:03 That joust right there.
03:07 - Trying to set up a shot as Herndon was bouncing off the ropes.
03:12 Torres has heavy hands,
03:13 but so far Herndon has been able to take his shots here
03:18 in Rosenberg.
03:20 Richard Torres is known as a gentleman boxer
03:22 for his genuine and humble personality outside of the ring,
03:25 but inside the ring, as you're seeing now,
03:27 he turns into something completely different.
03:31 - A big left hand and a huge right,
03:38 and it is a face plant.
03:41 - When I land a clean shot, once I feel that impact,
03:44 and I understand that he's hurt,
03:47 I'm going in for the kill.
03:49 - Big shot!
03:50 Torres floors him in the final seconds of round one.
03:55 - Oh, my God.
03:56 - Wow.
03:57 - Boxing is a part of me.
03:59 Like, I never got into boxing.
04:01 I never really stayed into boxing.
04:03 It's kind of like asking what I like most about my right hand.
04:06 It's me, you know?
04:07 It is who I am.
04:09 - Matter of time.
04:11 Look at that.
04:12 - He'll go to sleep.
04:13 - Sends it back with a three-punch combination.
04:15 Oh, my goodness.
04:17 - He'll tell you sometimes in the comedies,
04:19 "I never knew if I was that guy."
04:22 I said, "What do you think now?"
04:23 He goes, "I'm that guy."
04:25 - Yeah, he's that guy that stopped Marco Antonio Canelo.
04:33 The first knockout you saw there in 44 seconds,
04:35 Roberto Zavala in 58 seconds,
04:38 and he's only fought coming into this fight
04:41 18 minutes and 59 seconds in six fights.
04:44 Now he's at 21, 59-plus.
04:47 Saw him land 15 total punches there in the first round.
04:51 Nice body work from Torres.
04:53 He's hurting and tried to land to the head.
04:56 - See, and the thing with Torres is he's a--
05:00 he's a small--considered a small heavyweight
05:02 in this generation,
05:05 so he has to get close.
05:07 You know, he has to maul these guys.
05:09 And that's what makes him different.
05:10 He has--he throws--he's very entertaining
05:12 because he throws a lot of shots.
05:14 He don't shy away from the action.
05:16 - He's aggressive but undersized,
05:18 but he's high-tempo, as we saw,
05:20 by the 15 landed punches there.
05:22 Nice one-two from Torres, and down goes Herndon!
05:25 [cheers and applause]
05:27 - Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
05:33 - Up at nine.
05:36 A minute and 55 seconds left.
05:39 What will Torres Jr. do here?
05:41 We want to see more from him,
05:43 but his M.O. is, "I don't get paid for overtime.
05:47 I get paid to put guys on the canvas."
05:51 That's what he's trying to do to Herndon here
05:54 in the second round.
05:56 The fight's all done.
05:58 Yep, once you turn your back, as Tyron Herndon did,
06:01 the referee's gonna step in,
06:03 and Richard Torres gets the stoppage win
06:06 by technical knockout in the second round.
06:09 Maybe not as spectacular as we would have liked
06:12 in terms of a finish, Tim,
06:14 but in the end, the first knockdown was pretty clean.
06:18 - Pretty clean knockdown.
06:20 You know, Herndon came here.
06:23 He felt that he didn't want anything to do with it.
06:26 I mean, easy fight.
06:27 I mean, I could pick this fight with my eyes closed.
06:29 As soon as I read the name, I knew what was gonna happen.
06:32 I knew exactly what was gonna happen.
06:34 But good--let's put it this way.
06:36 Good performance right here by Torres.
06:38 Torres did exactly what he was supposed to do tonight.
06:41 - That's exactly it.
06:42 Guido did not do what he was supposed to do,
06:44 and this man, I promise you,
06:46 he's gonna be a little bit better.
06:48 - Well, let's put Harford in the ring with this guy.
06:51 - Okay, I like that,
06:53 because Harford will make him work.
06:55 Let's take a look at what worked for Richard Torres
06:57 with the first knockdown, Tim.
06:59 - Straight left hand.
07:01 But see, what I'm looking at,
07:03 I'm looking at the head placement.
07:05 He got off the line with his head
07:08 to land that straight left hand,
07:10 and here's the second knockdown, I believe.
07:12 Straight left hand right there.
07:13 Boom, beautiful shot.
07:15 He just mauls you.
07:16 I mean, he throws so many punches.
07:18 You have to worry about so much.
07:22 Then step around right there,
07:24 just getting around, swinging his arm around him.
07:27 Ole-ing him.
07:28 And just catching him with the ankles right there.
07:30 I mean, the referee saw the posture,
07:32 the posture of Hondon.
07:33 He didn't want to fight.
07:35 Look, I mean, got him in a bad position.
07:38 - You see the disappointment in the face
07:40 of Richard Torres Jr., because he wanted to finish.
07:43 - Oh, he wanted that killer knockout.
07:45 He wanted that highlight reel.
07:46 He wanted to add to what he's been doing.
07:48 And, you know, right now, Richard Torres,
07:50 he needs to enjoy this.
07:51 - Yeah.
07:52 - Because, trust me, things are going to heat up
07:54 for him real soon.
07:56 You know, top-ranked, best matchmakers in the business,
07:59 they understand that they need this guy
08:00 to have more rounds.
08:01 They got to see how his condition is late.
08:03 They got to see him take a shot.
08:05 And that's going to be coming real soon.
08:07 So enjoy this.
08:08 It's great.
08:09 Seven and 0, seven knockouts.
08:10 Fantastic.
08:12 - This is stage one of his career as a pro
08:16 after a stellar amateur career.
08:19 A good performance from Richard Torres.
08:22 - He did what he's supposed to do.
08:23 - He wants more.
08:24 - Yeah, and that's the thing.
08:25 That's the thing with him.
08:26 Like, speaking with him in the fighter meetings,
08:28 most guys are like, "Ah, leave him to the hands."
08:30 He's like, "I'm ready to step up whenever, Tim."
08:32 - Yep.
08:33 - You know, whenever.
08:34 I want to fight all these guys, every last one of them,
08:36 you know, at the right time, though, Tim.
08:38 So we'll see next time out.
08:41 We'll see next time out who he face,
08:42 but I'm going to tell him right now,
08:43 put him in there with Harper,
08:44 so that way he can show Guido
08:47 what you're supposed to do with a guy like Harper.
08:49 - All right, so Richard Torres steps up to the plate,
08:52 hits it out of the park.
08:53 Another man who always hits it out of the park,
08:55 Mark Chinook, who won this fight,
08:57 and how much did it last?
08:58 - Ladies and gentlemen, here inside the Fort Bend Epicenter,
09:01 referee Alejandro Leon calls a stop to this bout
09:04 at 1 minute, 26 seconds of round number two.
09:08 Declaring your winner by technical knockout,
09:11 Richard "Kiki" Torres Jr.
09:18 - We already knew who won the fight.
09:19 You, the fans, won the fight,
09:21 because it lasted 4 minutes and 26 seconds total,
09:25 almost 1 and a half minutes into round two.
09:28 Richard Torres Jr. gets his seventh victory.
09:31 No man has been able to get past the third round
09:34 in his young career,
09:35 and the Olympic silver medalist continues to fight.
