00:00protect yourselves at all times listen my commands touch them up back to your corner
00:03gentlemen referee mechanics at their finest tim making sure that each fighter knows what the
00:09belt line is gonna be doc we're good that's thomas taylor matthew the third man in the ring and look
00:16big week for robert garcia just a couple weeks ago they opened up the new gym out there in
00:22marina valley congratulations and then this past weekend robert garcia his brother mikey garcia
00:27the former world champion and their father eduardo garcia got into were inducted into the national
00:33boxing hall of fame so a big week for the garcia family well deserved also absolutely and then you
00:39see the son robert garcia jr pita who's well on his way to becoming one of the best trainers in the
00:45game himself i'm gonna come out and say i don't want to destroy this juan carlos's last name i'm
00:52gonna call him juan carlos i'm gonna stay away from you because i don't know how to roll my arms like
00:55you do guerra i can't say it hey if you don't know this this gentleman here juan carlos check this
01:12out didn't he just beat nico beat yes he's coming off of that upset win over nico walsh at the msg
01:18theater february 14th i'm trying to be here for him and he's back and he's back but this is a young
01:23talent right here barrera jr um 19 years old you know being slowly moved you know so thus far in
01:31his career it seems like the competition they put him in he's far he's levels above them you know
01:38and the reason why is because they got this man in there sparring everybody
01:42virgil ortiz didn't get himself a nice little rolex from the from helping uh ortiz in his camp
01:48absolutely last time around yeah got a nice rolex i'm jealous man look at your time
01:56let me carry you where's my rolex you do no one carlos as you can see juan carlos's game
02:04he's here to win again he's he's confident high off that victory the last time out inside the ring
02:11he's not allowing barrera to set up you know barrera right now is having a hard time gauging the
02:17distance you know he needs to get on his jab he needs to take away that jab of juan carlos there he
02:24is he's trying to get the check hook you see right there he stepped back blocked the jab parried the
02:28jab came with the check hook off the head and look juan carlos guerra was not at all discouraged by the
02:35power of nico ali walsh and that was at 160 pounds now he is at 154 more of a natural weight for
02:41him but that jab of art barrera jr doing some damage early on in terms of keeping guerra at bay
02:47that's a nice left hook and it actually needs to be on overtime because juan carlos where he wants
02:52to get inside the kitchen he wants to bang you downstairs he's looking to set up shots over the
02:56top around the guards as well and once he starts the game more and more confidence it becomes a
03:01headache so it's really good to see barrera right now using his jab using some movement showing different
03:07elements of his game and you know that the garcia camp definitely scouted out guerra after his last
03:12performance against nico ali walsh he was ending a 10-month layoff in that fight and he looked pretty
03:19fresh didn't have a lot of uh ring rust but you just see the quickness of barrera that was what won him
03:27this opening round and we'll listen in to the garcia family go around nothing relax how's this power
03:36a little bit all right take a deep breath just take your time nice and relax when he goes when he
03:41was left to keep your left and get get that jab hook and straight right hand aim at the chest don't
03:46aim at the head right okay the hook hook over his right okay boom and straight out okay so he's coming
03:52straight out to you take a little step back and boom get him with those little truck you're getting
03:57him with hooks up just but switching up boom boom okay switch the other hand is up coming with
04:01yes yeah yeah he's got chin down with your shoulder yes and then come pick him up up the middle all right
04:05all right he's rolling under your right or even that upper cut at the chest you'll hit it at the body
04:09or you'll hit him right right the chin okay when he comes in boom let him walk into that
04:17and score keeps keeping to push to to come at me so it's perfect
04:20all right tim you've got to love the calmness and the precise instructions in that corner i loved
04:29it i mean gave him great and sound advice i mean you got a guy that's kind of bull rush forward of course
04:34he's over that front knee you lift him up with the uppercut you use the check hook as well
04:38and they told him throw a shoulder level because he's going to drop right into it oh big shot watch
04:44oh that's the right uppercut that they asked for it is there on the inside anytime someone put
04:48any time a punch leaves leaves his face or leave home there's an opening right up the middle the
04:53uppercut is an underused punch in boxing one of the most deadliest shots in boxing is underused
05:00you see guerra digging to the body there of barrera who was quick to get off the ropes
05:05you do not want to be pinned against the ropes against guerra you know what guerra means what war i know
05:11you didn't you just said what i just i just researched it you would have lost jeopardy you
05:16would have lost i just wanted no i just wanted any of those talk shows family feud your kids would
05:23have been all on you dad why'd you buzz in hey look i i like look bon carlos guerra i like what i'm seeing
05:33from him i'm we having too much fun man let's let's get back to work um i like what i see you know because
05:40you understand the talent disparity right he has between uh barrera and him right so what he's
05:45doing is he wants to press and make the fight ugly and he feels that i got some heavy hands i can land
05:50on them i can that's a possibility i can hurt him you know he's trying to take this young man to a place
05:54he ain't never been because again i told you he hasn't been challenged thus far he's been levels above
06:00the competition i'm just glad that he's getting some work right now you know his first four professional
06:05fight he fought a total of 14 minutes then he had two decisions and then the two knockout wins
06:10consecutively against juan carlos campos and dal john gonzalez so barrera finally getting in with
06:16some better competition that's going to ask some questions of him and make him dig in his bag a
06:21little that's what we want to see we don't i'm sick of these easy knockouts you know this is great
06:25this is great matchmaking right now right now at this point in his career this is what we want to
06:30see you want to see him tested you want to see him hit that's a good combination there from barrera
06:34see how he reacts to it and and thus far he's reacting well he's very poised very poised
06:40actually and that's from the gym work that's what that's from right uppercut left hook that's a
06:45that's a combination you don't see often the mouthpiece comes flying out
06:51nice combination right down the middle see now he's stepping back as well to get keep this
06:55this is get over there look at me look at me sees a break in the action doesn't even clean it right
07:02time in go
07:06like it's only the second fight so it's not that dirty listen man why waste time you
07:11it's a fighter loses edge if you take the time hey time and go to the corner and wipe it and wash
07:15it off come on man you got to penalize look look i ate him and him off the floor yesterday
07:20you did i remember that bro come on it's gonna boost your immune system five second rule
07:25exactly
07:33listen for that belt gentlemen
07:39time right there good job
07:43hey timmy we don't watch him anymore
07:45he already he already felt that's why he wasn't even putting pressure anymore but maybe the first
07:50man or so he's gonna come try to come out with us right why just keep that jab in his face take a
07:53step back jab again throwing little punches you through the nice beautiful uppercut so now set
07:57up a good bucket left to the body all right set up a good left to the body okay yeah jab he's got
08:02the high guard right here come around with the right hook right here and then okay okay okay
08:06hey tim barrera was solid in the center of the ring but also even though his back was against the ropes
08:12yeah you know just having some space so having some space and not being stuck exactly on the ropes
08:18you see right here barrera landing that uppercut that his corner been asking for
08:24rolling underneath shots as well nice little hook right there and then getting underneath another left
08:28hook defending against that right hook right there on the inside just staying nice and tight and picking
08:34his shots very well on the inside and that uppercut man coming from the ground up my gosh what a shot
08:40beautiful eye candy right there barrera jr gets very sharp in every camp because he's been training
08:46virgil against virgil ortiz and getting that sparring work against the champion against raymond muratai who
08:52next week will be fighting for the world title the ibf lightweight championship against
08:58so we're up to live but gara off to a quick start here in round three so what does
09:02barrera do lands a nice left hook to keep him off of him yeah and it's very important for barrera to
09:07stay tight you know he got those long arms you know you got juan carlos left with shorter arms he can
09:13get to the target a lot quicker on the inside he's letting his hands go he's brave enough to stay there to
09:17take the power but i like the way barrera's again picking his shots wisely keeping those hands up
09:24you know every occasionally catching and shooting shots he's looking for that left hook
09:28got to be careful with that sometimes because he's not getting his head off the line he's keeping his
09:31head directly in line with that hook so he got to be careful because the right hand could come
09:37come just blazing in catching him and hurting way to get off the angle with that barrera did with that
09:44left hook change positions but the problem that barrera's making is he's not getting on his jab enough yeah
09:52you got to control distance with that stick with that jab that's what he has to do
09:58keep on carlos at bay and he can make this fight a lot easier than what it is right now yeah because
10:03guerra wants to make it tough and he wants to make sure that he doesn't give barrera any room to extend
10:09those long arms because barrera has a two-inch reach advantage yeah but use those long arms out on the
10:14outside you see you're moving left you're moving right you make him change his position boom then stick
10:18him why he's not set the punch that's that uppercut there from guerra though yes it was
10:26look at guerra he's working his jab you saw it it worked on the left hook from barrera
10:35no i like look i like this i like the fact that that barrera's getting tested right here
10:40love the fact chopping right from guerra absolutely i'm really enjoying in this fight what i'm seeing
10:46right now because stop stop stop stop stop let him go let him go get to see a young fighter go get hit
10:52back yep instead of doing all the hidden and that's the only time tim you're going to find out what you've
10:57got and this part and i'm going to tell you one thing it's one thing to see a fighter that every time
11:03he hits somebody they go down all right that's a beautiful thing but what happens to a fighter when he
11:08hit somebody and he don't go down see you got to have that psychology upstairs to be able to again
11:13stay in the fight and continue to fight and do the right things we're going to see what else type of
11:17skills that barrera possess tonight they're showing a chin so far here in the third round as guerra was
11:23able to land a nice right hand to the chin of barrera yep he's showing a very nice beard
11:32excellent and see and that's where the money's at right there you get a guy you hit him with your
11:36best shot up upstairs before you think you go don't test him downstairs get heavy on the body
11:42break this man down time right there tonight is naoya inouye's night and we've been waiting to see

12:13perfect time i've been trying to get the monster here for a very long time the people need to see
12:19him you want to know why because we need him to come save american boxing these last two shows that

12:30if he gets if he puts on a performance tonight a remember performance for the fans and tim we were
12:35talking about coming into this fight he wasn't very happy that he could be the afterthought after uh

13:05defending his title against edwin vasquez and then ramon cardenas challenges the monster for the
13:11undisputed junior featherweight title right around 8 pm tonight nice left there from guerra from the south
13:18cost man man look you can't be hey you can't be stepping barrer can't be stepping back with his hands
13:24down like that getting caught with those looping shots right there i mean that ain't there man
13:27prospect's nightmare i see that time and time again we saw that with garcia remember some months ago
13:33yes alan garcia man i'm telling you you got to be careful man got to be on your p's and q's but yeah
13:37you're seeing juan carlos change up his game change up his strategy switching to the southpaw the orthodox
13:43stance kind of trying to confuse and punch from different angles and tim just to mention that alan
13:48garcia knockout that happened against ricardo fernandez who lost to juan dejo nice left hook there
13:54from barrera jr that left hook from barrera is finding a home but he's finding emiliano vargas
14:07how are you going to answer the call and barrera jr answering the call of guerra here
14:12in round four a battle of left hooks yeah and berrera showing that his now that right to the body
14:17that low slumped guerra a little bit
14:26you hear the the garcia saying go to the body go to the body that's a straight right
14:31from barrera jr you go to the body you take the soul baby you take the soul of a fighter
14:41and that's straight right from barrera jr followed by a left of the body
14:45you sure they ain't got no mic they got a mic in the corner they can hear me talk they don't have
14:50headphones you sure they not they're watching the broadcast on their phone they're boxing geniuses too
14:58he's a former champion tim bradley he's a trainer of the year timothy bradley
15:03oh my goodness that's a nice one too from barrera and the left hook he's finding a zone where he's
15:16comfortable tim and he's taking the fight out of guerra because of the body work the body work that's
15:21what the body work does slows the opposition down takes the legs of the opposition as well makes him
15:27think twice about shooting shots because he don't want to get hit to the body and you saw how barrera
15:33kept that right defensively at home because you can't make that mistake against a fighter like guerra
15:42a short right hand from barrera changing the cadence here at the end of round four
15:50this is a fun fight oh it is more action than we had all weekend combined
15:54yeah copy box backs us up let's listen in i know he's not he's not he's good but you you're winning
16:01every round but then you know just you know upstairs okay dig into the body upstairs just
16:05touch because that's taking a good punch and then boom dig into the body
16:10hook upstairs and boom body look for the body okay what i like about what barrera's doing is is the
16:18variation with this attack beautiful work coming down with the jab who coming up with the left hook
16:23coming across with that left hook again similar combination right here oh same punch one two three
16:31and then on the inside right here oh looking for that liver you see the elbows come in after that shot
16:36you know juan carlos felt that punch beautiful shot right on right outside the elbow
16:42place punch right there from barrera yeah man he's seeing it you look you got to be calm in that storm
16:47and be able to see those opportunities don't want number five like with as many fights that he has
16:52eight fights he's comfortable inside the pocket you can see he can take a punch he likes to give some
16:58back as well he does have movement i would love to see him get more on his jab however man look
17:04he's got a lot to work with man yeah young and he's 19 years old that's a nice left hook after the
17:10downstairs shot from barrera that's why they are so high on him over at rgpa tim in other words the
17:17ceiling is hot very high and the level of work he's getting at such a young age tim yes that's what
17:24elevates a fighter look it reminds me of oscar de la joy when he was 16 years old getting work with
17:30julio cesar chavez with all the mexican fighters who would come to la for gym work oscar de la joy was
17:35sparring them as a teenager that's what art barrera jr is getting in terms of high level of competition
17:42day in and day out over there now in moreno valley don't use that shoulder nice nice look there from
17:48guerra though yeah he's game look look some guys some guys they can take a punch some guys just had a
17:58heart and a will to continue to fight and that is juan carlos he's here and he's here to win and he's
18:03here to put his best foot forward you know i always tell people all the time have pride in your work
18:10your last name that means something you know it don't matter what you it don't matter what you're
18:15doing it don't matter if you're getting out skilled you're getting beat at least at least if you show
18:20the fans that hey i'm here to win and i'm trying and i'm gonna sell out i'm gonna do what i need to
18:24do to win we're gonna respect you look i would love to see guerra continue to get opportunities on top
18:31ranked boxing on espn because he's the type of guy who's capable of pulling off another upset maybe
18:36not tonight against barrera jr because he's so well prepared and so well schooled and those body shots
18:42have him hurt here in round number five he hurt
18:48does he know he's got his man hurt oh he knows oh that's a nice right uppercut from barrera
18:53he knows and guerra has to hold on something we never saw against nico aldi walsh absolutely
19:01what a straight right from barrera jr i'm gonna tell you what this is an impressive performance
19:07from barrera guerra has never been stopped he's as tough as they come but tonight he's in against
19:13the bus off you gotta show me something show me something here buddy
19:20the timing of barrera is special excellent timing great placement great punch selection as well
19:27choosing the right shot that looping right hand doing major damage that's a nice right though from
19:33carlos guerra yeah i'm in this too yeah that uppercut though would send him home yep you use that uppercut
19:43great round from art barrera jr here listen for that belt goes out the fifth
19:49time
20:01one minute and then let's talk
20:03one minute and then let's talk
20:05one minute and then let's take a look at the defense grab him hold him move don't be there all
20:21right let's take a look at these sequences right here that last round good work in there from art barrera
20:26uh yep going downstairs it was blocked however ha juan carlos didn't see that shot coming right there as
20:35juan carlos tried to anticipate or react to that body shot but this one right here oh right in the
20:41solar plex that shot you see juan carlos as he leaned forward tucks in detect his body but that was a
20:47well-placed shot that was set up and i was set up off that last shot he was like okay you're gonna block my
20:54my left hook all right guess what i'm gonna bring it inside this time and then land it look i think
20:58that's what's really impressed me about art barrera jr juan carlos guerra is defensively responsible
21:03he's gonna get checked out by the doctor here i mean look he's tough you want a little concerned
21:09about a lot of shots being taken all right show me some defense at least show me some defense when
21:13the doctor asked him do you want to continue hell yeah that's a tim bradley restaurant i'm trying to
21:18tell you respect so what i was getting at yes you know even earlier rounds when guerra's being
21:26defensively responsible with the high guard he was getting inside those shots it's it's those
21:30adjustments with the punch on the fly that barrera makes that is really impressive
21:36it's the reads yes it's the reads you know he didn't have success in one area so then he just
21:42make the proper adjustment that's boxing iq i don't like him sitting on those rocks stop stop stop
21:52got out of there pretty quick all right good go here's the time right now when you get on that stick
21:59heavy on that stick heavy using that jab to set up your offense behind your opposition yeah you know
22:06he's coming tim and guerra's gonna try to pull it off but look at the legs of guerra after that combination
22:11from barrera and i like the change up in speed right there as well that choice to change up the
22:17speed give him something there it is that right hand and thomas tether has got a close eye on guerra here
22:26that's a straight right hand again from barrera gets around the guard
22:32barrera right now trying to get the referee to help yep i knew it it is it is
22:41there's different ways of getting a stoppage win they don't all have to be out on their back
22:46tim the way he started to dominate from round four on was just picking up the pace and doing it in
22:53different ways you can get repetitive and get caught in those moments he was not our barrera was
23:00poised switching it up and everything he was doing was coming up spades you know i thought this was a
23:05fantastic performance and a great outing for both men to be honest with you uh here's the end of the
23:11fight let's take a look at it right here this is what this is what fighters should do right smart
23:16fighters this is what they do he saw that the referee was looking at him he knew that he was near
23:21the end so he just started pouring up landing shots not putting a whole lot of power on it just
23:26hey i'm gonna touch you with this i'm gonna touch you with that i know the referee is keeping a close
23:31eye on you guess what he's gonna step in he'll eventually he's gonna stop it i just gotta stay
23:35consistent so sometimes you get guys to try to rush it no just be consistent with your work and that
23:41consistency is the reason why he got that stop tonight a six-time u.s national champion his mom
23:47does all the meal prep she's very hard on him but she's gonna give him a little extra snack after this
23:53fight because he earned it and uh we have the official time of the stoppage with ralph velez jr
24:10one minute 15 seconds of round number six referee thomas taylor comes to halt to the bout
24:17your winner by way of tko and still undefeated from lynwood california art barrera jr so our barrera jr
24:34continues to not only improve but also do it against a higher level of opposition juan carlos guerra
24:41coming off of that upset over nico ali walsh it was
