07:10OLEKSANDER
07:14And already the sense of anticipation from the crowd.
07:29Final moments before the considerable storm here.
07:34Referee Luis Favon waits patiently here.
07:44His tenth world heavyweight title fight as a referee.
07:51At ringside, Stan Christodoulou, one of the judges.
07:55He refereed Hearns Cuevas, McGuigan-Pedroza, Duran Hagler, Alguello Pryor.
08:00What a link to greats of the past.
08:04They're everywhere you look, here in Rotslav.
08:07And now they come together.
08:23Calm down, calm down, calm down.
08:25Final words of encouragement for Usyk.
08:27I noticed Frank Warren in that lengthy wait for Daniel Dubois.
08:31Just looking at him with concern.
08:33Stay back.
08:34It was a long time.
08:36They made him wait.
08:38It was very deliberate, I'm sure.
08:40It's the moment we've been waiting for.
08:42Common consensus says Dubois has to jump on Usyk early.
08:46But that's easier said than done.
08:48Just how is this going to play out here?
08:51And also let's not forget Usyk is the one who likes to steal your space with that front foot.
08:56So he's going to come on fast as well.
08:57He's going to come on trying to steal that ground.
08:59Every time Daniel got a little bounce to his step and he bounces back, Usyk is going to jump on that space.
09:04There's that southpaw jab from Usyk that is so dangerous.
09:09He builds everything around speed and thought.
09:12That jab is footwork.
09:14That's a sharp clip in left hook there from Dubois.
09:17Not much on it, but it's a scoring shot.
09:21We know how heavy handed Dubois is.
09:24We know that if he lands it could be major trouble for Usyk, but it's the if, isn't it?
09:29That's been the question mark from everybody.
09:33Can Dubois get to Usyk?
09:35And Usyk's constant movement as well.
09:37Makes you second guess yet attacks.
09:39You see that Daniel should be throwing that right hand up and Usyk's in and up with the feet.
09:45Changing the levels of his height all the time and that just makes Dubois not sure if he's going to hit the target clean.
09:51Dubois trying to aim for the body there.
09:53I know that was a big school of thought that Usyk was hurt to the body by Joshua.
09:57Dropped to the body as an amateur by Viterbiev on a couple of occasions.
10:01And Dubois ought to target the body, a bigger target of course.
10:05He throws the jab so well.
10:09Usyk, he gets inside your jab.
10:12Usually the softball jab on the outside of your left jab.
10:15He gets inside someone.
10:20Unconventional but very effective.
10:24Usyk mustn't get carried away by the emotional support of this crowd.
10:28As Dubois tries to land a right hand.
10:31He's got speed in that right hand though Dubois.
10:36He's going to surprise Usyk with it.
10:41Good jab there from Usyk.
10:42Lovely shot.
10:43Stepped in right behind that.
10:47It's that dazzling speed of Usyk as he looks to set up the straight left hand.
10:57Jab there from Daniel Dubois.
10:59Confident stare from Dubois but as you say a bit slow.
11:05It's just too slow.
11:06You've got to really commit.
11:07You've got a two in front of the hip to get some speed in the shot.
11:10Usyk commanding and sending that ring at the minute.
11:12And he knows there's not much in it.
11:14He's the one stealing his face.
11:16He's the one making Dubois move back.
11:18And it's supposed to be Dubois moving further in the early round.
11:23It was meant to be the pattern if Dubois was to have a chance.
11:29The sense is the longer it goes the more it favours the champion.
11:33Once again Dubois coming forward and trying to close that gap on Usyk.
11:39Some of the work there from the opening round Barry.
11:55Again they always steps inside.
11:58You're supposed to get your foot on the outside.
12:01And jab over the lead jab of a guy who's the opposite stance.
12:05But Usyk is able to stand him inside.
12:07Again he was stealing the space of Dubois.
12:09Dubois not really throwing any conviction.
12:11Not a speed in the shot.
12:13And even though there was no real massive shots landed.
12:16That's the biggest punch here.
12:17That right southpaw jab of Usyk.
12:19But it was Usyk's round there.
12:20A good round for Usyk.
12:21He dominated the centre of the space.
12:23Didn't allow Dubois any success at all.
12:26And that'll put a little bit of a panic there on Daniel Dubois.
12:30Because he had that serious problem didn't he?
12:33That knee injury after the Kevin Lorraine fight.
12:36He was in crisis wasn't he?
12:38He was down three times and showed great guts to find a way to win.
12:41But he has said Daniel Dubois it's been like trying to learn to walk again.
12:46Fancy facing the fast feet of Usyk when you're with that little lack of confidence in your movement.
12:53But what the players have got to try and do is just sit down a little bit.
12:56A little bit of a wider stance.
12:57And punch a little bit lower.
12:59You've got a guy who will move once here.
13:02That's more of a better idea.
13:04A little bit too slow with the shots.
13:05That's the right idea there.
13:11For Usyk's all about just concentration.
13:14Now waiting him in and out with the feet.
13:16Just constant irritation.
13:17And again with that movement you've got.
13:19He's never still for a second.
13:21It makes you an opponent path.
13:23When's he gonna throw?
13:24Is he coming up?
13:25Is he standing off?
13:26And of course so many people saying Dubois has to come in with bad intentions.
13:32And put it on Usyk straight away.
13:34But it's so much easier said than done.
13:36When the movement of Usyk is so good.
13:39The smarts in the ring are so good.
13:42That's better from Dubois.
13:44But when Usyk does so well.
13:46He makes you think.
13:47But when you're not used to think it so much.
13:50That tires you out as well.
13:51So by the time you get the round four or five.
13:52You're spent.
13:53And he pressurizes you with that front foot.
13:55You see it here now.
13:56Dubois the one.
13:57And with that edge back.
13:58Fantastic.
13:59Straight left hand from Usyk.
14:03The shot that caused Anthony Joshua so many problems.
14:07That backhand beautifully timed.
14:09Usyk just closing the gap.
14:15But landing with a bit more confidence.
14:18Just have to take a little cuff in left hook.
14:20It wasn't much on the shot.
14:21But off Dubois.
14:22That's why he didn't really get full leavers in that left hand there Usyk.
14:28There's that left hand again.
14:32He's not trying to throw his right hand when he throws that left hand there Dubois.
14:35If he throws Willem.
14:36Made him a chance just to catch him on top of the head.
14:38He's skipping forward.
14:41That's a good start isn't it from all the jump to Usyk.
14:45Double jab from Dubois.
14:46Usyk just starting to jab to the podium as well.
14:52It's a great idea there from Dubois.
14:53Didn't get much success from Usyk.
14:55He's letting his hands go.
14:56Move your hands man.
14:58Move your hands man.
14:59Go!
15:00Go!
15:01Go!
15:02Go!
15:03Go!
15:04Go!
15:05Go!
15:07Go!
15:08Osyk just still Group one to create some doubt in Usyk's mind.
15:12Go!
15:13Go!
15:14Go!
15:15Go!
15:16Go!
15:19Norman Usyk's the one pushing Dubois back.
15:21But that's the way he fights.
15:22So if he's just thrown into dancing around, he moves around the target.
15:25dancing around, he moves around the target, but he does try and back you up with that front foot.
15:31Makes you feel that presence all the time, makes you always have to think, tires you out.
15:39Time!
15:40That's the end of round two. Your verdict so far, Barry Jones.
15:44Well, that's 2-0 for losing, I think that's fair enough.
15:48Daniel's having little, little tiny bits of success, but they've been really clean enough to really build confidence from.
15:54And that jab from Muzic's working well with this over the lead guard, inside the guard there.
15:58And that left hand, that was a really good solid shot. He took it well, Dubois, to his credit.
16:02But finding a home early with that solid shot is a little bit of a worry.
16:06That left eye is starting to swell already. There's that body shot from Dubois.
16:12He takes the shot, but he's spinning off as well, just taking the sting out of that punch.
16:17See Don Charles trying to get Daniel Dubois' attention there.
16:23James Ali Bashir, who was with Usyk in that Dubois corner.
16:27He should have provided some valuable advice.
16:32Valuable advice.
16:34Previously an assistant with a manual shoot says that Usyk sacked him by text.
16:38Says that he wanted to be part of the team that beat him.
16:41The moment Usyk is on top and dares that spearing jab again, targeting that left eye.
16:47See, at the end of the round, Dubois got Usyk in the corner, or Usyk was in the corner.
16:53And he wasn't sure to throw the right hand and he knew he had to do it.
16:56But he was just, Usyk trying to put that secondary thought process in his brain now.
17:00So that slows him down already.
17:05Teddy, the rain is absolutely driving down now in Rotzlap. It adds to the drama.
17:10There are going to be some fantastic bits of photography from tonight.
17:15Watch out for that.
17:17But at the moment, the picture painted in that ring is of Usyk dominance with that southpaw jab and with the movement.
17:29He's in front of that, he's in front of Daniel Dubois there.
17:31And that's where Dubois gotta pull the trigger.
17:33He has to.
17:34And don't aim for the head.
17:35That's the moving target.
17:36Aim for the chest.
17:39Usyk backs him up again with a lovely combination.
17:42Again, got a foot on the outside there.
17:44Usyk just sliding in the distance.
17:47He quite effectively, too easily really.
17:55Now Dubois looks to close the gap.
17:57And there was a left hand on the top of the head of Usyk there.
18:00Yeah, the feet just got tangled up a little bit there, I think, when they got caught.
18:03Up behind, up behind, up behind.
18:05Up behind, up behind.
18:06Usyk just had a word for both of them and then allows them to box on.
18:10Up behind, up behind, up behind.
18:11Up behind.
18:12Up behind.
18:18Up behind, up behind.
18:19To say that when you feel that movement there there puzzle.
18:21That's when you've got to bang him in the right hand.
18:22And if all of Dubois' chances in his best world were meant to be in the early rounds,
18:34he hadn't really let his hands go, unless the plan is different, of course.
18:38Good jab there, a good couple of jabs there from Dubois.
18:42Missed with the right uppercut, but again, it was good intentions from Dubois that time.
18:45A good jab again there for Usyk, lovely work.
19:01Dubois, of course, lighter for this fight.
19:06He's been in recent bouts.
19:09A clear tactic to allow him to move, to try and keep pace with Usyk.
19:15He's taken the pace here at Usyk, that's a bad sign for Daniel Dubois.
19:27He throws the right hand, he's blocked to get some telegraphs.
19:33Another dominant round, this from Alexander.
19:35Usyk Dubois made a miss that time and threw the uppercut.
19:39Time!
19:45Another round for Usyk, more excellent work here from Usyk.
19:51He's on Charles with words in that corner for Dubois, but Barry, this was outstanding.
19:55It's a lovely combination there.
19:57And he's only doing basic techniques here, Usyk.
19:59Just throwing the jab, wrong left hand.
20:01He's not really throwing too many hooks yet.
20:02He's not trying to get too close, it's too physical.
20:05Just buzzing around the target.
20:07Making Dubois constantly think all the time.
20:09Constantly second-guess himself.
20:11Not really being able to commit to his attacks here at Daniel Dubois.
20:14And all the time Usyk is just hitting them in solid jabs, solid left hands.
20:18They're not that heavy, but they're just draining it and it's slowly down into the pan.
20:24And they are working.
20:25You can see that end swirl on the left eye of Dubois.
20:29Switch on, all right?
20:30That was a better run.
20:31I want it in a better run.
20:32Concerned about the swelling, you can see it sort of growing as Usyk targets it.
20:37Round four.
20:45Heavyweight championship of the world, Alexander Usyk here in Rotslav, but roared on by the people of Ukraine.
20:53And Daniel Dubois starting as a big outsider and not yet able to ruffle the feathers of the champion here.
21:01I would say that was a better run for Usyk when they're on, clearly.
21:04But it was a better run for Dubois, if I have something at all.
21:07He had a bit of success.
21:10Nothing too major, nothing too clean.
21:12He had a little bit of success.
21:20To the body there from Dubois.
21:26Missed by a long way there.
21:28Usyk tried to punish him with that left hand.
21:31Then back to the jab goes Usyk.
21:33His jab is so well-timed, isn't it?
21:35Yeah, that right, that right, that right, so for a jab better music.
21:38Good left hand as well there.
21:42Just friction off there a little bit, Dubois, too easy to hit.
21:47Gotta keep that focus, there's a good right hand.
21:49Blocks.
21:50But he's seen, let it go.
21:51A bit of speed.
21:52But Usyk creates so many attacking options, doesn't he, with his footwork and his judgment
21:58of distance and his fast hands.
22:01He hasn't even started moving around the body yet, as he can do so effectively.
22:06He's waiting for Dubois to be really tired before he goes to work.
22:08Before he starts to try and replicate his friend Lomachenko, who's sitting at ringside.
22:13There's that South 4 jab again, and it really spears back the head of Dubois.
22:21Right hand, though, from Dubois.
22:22Good shot.
22:24Give him a bit of encouragement, but it was answered straight away with a right from Usyk.
22:28Second place, second place, second place, second place.
22:38Never forget that for all the technical ability of Usyk, Dubois is the bigger man and he has
22:43the bigger punch.
22:46Frey's punch, his chance, was thrown around with abandon this week, but it's true.
22:51If Dubois could catch him clean, could close the gap and land, it will get very, very interesting,
22:56very, very quickly.
22:57He's down with a couple of right hands there, and that's good for him.
23:00Build his confidence.
23:08Usyk missed again there with a straight left.
23:13Better round this from Daniel Dubois.
23:21Heading into the last 20 seconds of it.
23:24It's been working there for Usyk, lovely little...
23:27two-clinch combination.
23:32Dubois trying to set it up with a jab and land that right hand.
23:36Hasn't been able to land it anywhere near clean so far.
23:38Here's some of that work from Usyk in round four.
23:55Little pockets of success for Dubois, but still...
23:57...that Usyk jab, the most important punch of the fight so far.
24:03Yeah, the accuracy, the movement there, the losing is just too much for Dubois at the minute.
24:19He's not finished solid for himself yet, but he's in the corner, you can see a little bit of panic there, they've just shrugged there to get the instructions across there.
24:27Dubois, he's just got to commit to that attack, he's got to be straight punches, solid, direct, and lots of them.
24:33Easy, easy, easy.
24:42Speaker 5-335 join the round.
24:44It's around five.
24:45変 out your case for Daniel Dubois coming close to winning any of the opening four rounds, but he is still in there.
24:48but he is still in there and that fourth round was his best of the fight so far
24:54you can noticeably see barry from our position here at ringside that that
24:58left eye of daniel dubois is swelling after just starting to close a bit
25:06louis fabron straight away calls time but he took something for me joshua's last fight
25:18yeah who's sick of course has time here
25:25and louis tabon will give him as much time as he needs and that is a really really painful one
25:37what he must do is try and get back underway too quickly he's in real pain here isn't he barry
25:44he's shaking literally one time shaking yeah he's down and shaking from the after effects of that
25:56he's shaking his head as well he's sick
26:04it's fascinating that he hasn't really tried to get to his feet yet i tell you what it was a heavy
26:08shot to be here okay no something shot
26:17it's no intention i thought no intention it's up to the heavens there for a moment
26:21who sick now he's gonna try and get back to his feet and of course the crowd
26:30but it's hard to even describe or imagine that pain
26:33i'll tell you something though dubai's gonna jump all over him now if he if he ever had a chance
26:39this is it this day they've opened the gate for now you've got to commit
26:44you've got to take it in a box you've got to take advantage of anything and this is a big big
26:49advantage to take
26:52if i won't mind the booze raining down they weren't raining down anyway
26:58let's have a look at this again barry
26:59wow that's bad bad listen dan is just throwing the shot there's nothing intentional about that
27:09but he's he's bowling right on that guard
27:14into the region where you don't really want to get hit
27:18well i think louis clavon just asked who's sick and he's nodded his head
27:22it's a housekeeping here with time keepers and so on
27:29stop stop stop
27:32and uh in that is sick corner
27:35yuri kachenko sergey latin just making the point they think he's thrown two
27:39that alone what a point taken off
27:42i said listen i don't think it was it was clearly low but i don't think it was an intentional shot
27:48come on come on come on and you have a warning for it maybe come on come on come on
27:55music still looking at his corner here he's not interested in touching gloves
28:01and by the way i don't like it was generally a low shot so
28:05he's not wasting time because he's not leaving the fight no he's he's four rounds
28:10ahead one minute one minute rest he gets one more minute here from louis tabon and the other point
28:18to make is if there were any question marks and there are about dubois stickability and jawability
28:24this has just given him a breather oh yeah but he was he was looking tired to me dubois
28:28he's got the crowd going unbelievable sounds and this thing mustn't get carried away by this
28:38listen to me look at me look at me clean fight or look at me clean fire or the qualification
28:43clean look at me look at me okay clean fight okay hear that clearly
28:48from tabon he had to force him to touch guns clean fight or disqualification
28:52how significant will that moment be dubois doing exactly what you wanted him to barry
28:58but it was another little global to be honest good right hand there from dubois on the shoulder
29:02there of music was dubois getting closer to landing this is with a left hook there
29:10they'll let his hands go surely it's now or never for daniel dubois
29:17that was close to being low as well as he looks to the body dubois
29:21who's just going to see the wrong one you think just trying to pick up the points be smart
29:26not engage and just negate something negate the work here of dubois slowing down again
29:36he's got a lot of the rounds still to negotiate though is it
29:41back into that pattern though of using that movement those things to make life difficult here for dubois
29:50but every second about wait still any time to go is it another little shot to me
29:56well there is tabon says no but he's going to be watching like a hawk now
30:01dubois needs to be very very careful here
30:09exchange of jabs there just waiting too long there dubois
30:12and then the cuffing right hand from music back to that jab and then the straight left hand as he backs up dubois
30:25the good tight hand left glove is the music's chin though when he when he comes forward
30:31he's waiting for that loop in right hand he's right hook again there from music
30:38it follows up with the left hand the legs of dubois just looks shaky for a moment
30:49to be fair i think he can't do i think he can't do by a little square on the ropes
30:59i don't think he's a hard shot as it looked it's a good shot i don't think he's in that much trouble
31:05that's a good shot yeah it's another excellent shot isn't it from music and these start to have a
31:09cumulative effect but he moves on the body and gets you where you can't find him
31:14there again he is again yeah absolutely brilliant
31:21and again from music warms to the task
31:24dubois thought he was caught after the bell there he responded he was i think he was
31:28he might be responding back but a good big round there for the music
31:42so let's take a look at the low blow again there barry no that it's on the belt line
31:46you tend to get so you might say it's okay or the shouldn't hurt but it it lifts you up see
31:51that's a lovely shot there from music lovely shot actually it was a better shot than i thought
31:57i think you can't look a little bit square but it was well delivered
32:01see there awesome good shot now whipping the head back whipping the head back don't forget that man
32:09it's a great shot as well as here from our high camera there it really shows the foot movement
32:14showed us getting into position to throw that shot his ring generalship music is absolutely that's the
32:20best part of it is ring generalship oh he commands the space around him and in between him and his
32:25opponent
32:31so we move into round six here this is where many observers felt usic would start to
32:38really apply the pressure and take over where dubois maybe would start to wilt
32:47whatever happens dubois has got to turn the tide here he's got to land something big but we've known
32:52that all along barry yeah of course he's always in a field battle for him but he does have the power so
32:56who's he can't switch off for a second and if he has to do well on the rails if he over commits and
33:01walks onto a shot he's in trouble for that
33:05to add to the drama by the way the thunder and lightning all around the stadium there you can see it flashing down
33:11that one extraordinary conditions in which to fight for the world heavyweight championship
33:19oh lovely the football game to make that job put that jab into play was fantastic
33:24there's a left hook from music he's the one throwing now with bad intentions as he backs up
33:30that daniel dubois you missed that time though you ever should give you right with the follow through with the
33:35follow attack
33:42oh
33:47just trying to draw something out of the music here
33:56great accuracy again there from listening and a right to the body
34:00from dubois good foot there footwork there from the brown making that is it for that left hand
34:06the shouting head movement of dubois make sure you make yourself a moving target here
34:12again dubois looks towards that belt line the usic corner furious
34:21i think they're good shots they're in the last couple of body shots from dubai with good shots i feel
34:27he needs to come back to the left hook there dubai if you've done he's always that body shot
34:35and these little pockets of success just tiny moments that you think dubois could build on
34:55but who's sick is the one dominating he's done but he's took his foot off the gas field but here
34:59and of the choice of the necessity i would say really i think he's going not struggling about
35:04taste but i just think he's conserving a way of energy here
35:12that encourages dubois forward here the body shot from dubai
35:16the response from music is far better that's the trademark of usic isn't it whenever he is put
35:25into any kind of trouble he responds straight away with more
35:30but if you were talking about that if there is a weakness that weakness to the body of usic we've
35:35seen little moments here where dubois cause trouble not the not the low blow but other moments yeah well
35:40what it does it gives you an opportunity to fire off the body shop but you see who's a kid again just
35:44again stealing the space good of a body movement coming coming back really good sharp fast counters
35:50and again there's not the knockout concussive shots but they're all shots that are just taking it
35:55emptying your tank
35:59that's a lovely little response here from dubois real good left hook
36:02and if you hear that little rest where you know when he got hit between the legs there who's in the
36:07little rest has helped you well i think for his engine
36:22book so we move into the second half of the fight here to a plenty who felt it might not get this far
36:32oh
36:53standard is is trying to target the body of dubois he's just trying to jump the how
36:58and that experience of louis favern coming into play here
37:09got a double jab here of dubois see the single jabs who's just going to count if you double jab and
37:14step in with it twice clicking them for feet it's how they can do it for music to fire off that
37:20you sick at the moment just circling his prey
37:38jab again though from daniel dubois again dubois looking to that body of music again it was close to the
37:44belt line but again it seemed to just hurt the belt line surely that's where dubois got a target
38:01if he can
38:12how's that changing the levels there a little bit here now music just bend the knees a little bit
38:25left hand there from music got the crowd going here
38:27and dubois just looked on shaky legs there for a moment tries to move the head but now is it piles of the pressure
38:53of the road
38:56of the road
38:59big left hand from music misses there with the follow-up right hand
39:02Right hand.
39:05Three-on-one from Farrouza.
39:06Oh, real courageous move there from Dubois.
39:09Took two really good heavy shots there and fired back.
39:17Interesting to see Dubois hold for the first time.
39:21And now Issyk steps forward and puts his foot on the gas.
39:25Dramatic end to the round.
39:32This is what they came to see, Barry.
39:36That was a lovely left hand.
39:37He started off, wasn't it, for music.
39:40And then once he threw it, he had Dubois on the rails there.
39:42He put his foot on the gas.
39:44Acceleration and pace in his work.
39:46Accuracy as well.
39:48But Dubois took him well and he tried to fire back.
39:50You're not even miscredited.
39:51I thought he might have had a wilt about this thing.
39:53He'll be tired.
39:55Hit clean.
39:56He fired back.
39:56Try to push his back a little bit.
39:58Just...
39:58Are you looking at him?
39:59I'm wrong.
40:00Move your head off.
40:00You've got to get something about.
40:01Shopping.
40:02You've got to hit him down, Dan.
40:04Are you looking at him?
40:07You want to keep it out?
40:08Don't let him go.
40:10If I don't back home from here.
40:12You need to have to be fucking back.
40:13Keep it up.
40:14Keep it up.
40:14Keep it up.
40:15Keep it up.
40:16Keep it up.
40:17Keep it up.
40:17Keep it up.
40:18Keep it up.
40:19Keep it up.
40:19Keep it up.
40:19Keep it up.
40:19Come on, Bando.
40:20He's done this round.
40:22Don't get...
40:23Dubois, slow to get off his stool there.
40:30Both.
40:32Round eight.
40:34Lusik doing damage at the end of that previous round and starting on the front foot here with
40:40an excellent combination.
40:43Really good shot there from Dubois.
40:44And from Dubois.
40:45Really good shot.
40:48Took it well to Lusik and he used to his credit.
40:52We don't really give him too much credit for his chin, by the way.
40:55And he takes a really good shot.
41:01What that right hand did, though, that just stopped.
41:04He was it from being adventurous.
41:06And he came on this round for the finish, I feel.
41:08And that right hand just slowed him down a little bit.
41:17Dubois has not slowed down.
41:19As much as we might have thought.
41:22Lengthy delay for the low blowers.
41:23Certainly changed the tempo of the fight in Dubois' favor.
41:32Lovely combination.
41:42He's that right hand to the body again of Dubois.
41:45A little blink of acknowledgement from Lusik.
41:47But he blocked it.
41:47He felt it, but he blocked it.
41:53Look at the concentration on Lusik's face.
41:58Watching every movement.
42:01The eyes just laser in, don't they?
42:04Dubois falling short there.
42:05And they're trying to follow up with a right hand to the body.
42:08Has Dubois let his hands go enough here.
42:12Doesn't want to leave here with any regrets.
42:15Let's go forward.
42:16Let's go forward.
42:17Let's go forward.
42:18Oh, lovely shot.
42:26Lusik's shot selection is adventurous.
42:31His execution of it just outstanding.
42:34I'm here, I'm here.
42:38Ace has slowed in round number eight here.
42:42He doesn't have the body shots.
42:43Not at all.
42:44This is Alexander Lusik.
42:46Neither of you blocks him.
42:47He feels the weight.
42:48He has always been mentioned as his potential weakness.
42:59It will be mentioned even more.
43:00Whatever the result here,
43:02that Lusik is vulnerable to the body.
43:06The right hook there for Lusik.
43:10Again, moving on the target there when he's throwing his punches
43:12and Dubois can't find the target clean.
43:15A bit low there for Lusik.
43:17Yeah, it was his turn, wasn't it?
43:19The venture a little bit south there, Lusik.
43:22Oh, lovely.
43:24That was great work again for Lusik.
43:25And Dubois, touchdown.
43:29The flurry, the speed, the accuracy.
43:33Perfection from Lusik.
43:35And Dubois just gets up.
43:39The brilliance of Lusik there, Barry.
43:47Again, all of a sudden he can just explode from any angle with speed and accuracy.
43:52Dubois looked for the floor there.
43:53And I'm not saying that was a bad thing.
43:55I think he didn't know where Lusik was.
43:57He was hurt.
43:58A bit confused.
43:59You'll see it now.
44:00He gets caught with a really good shot.
44:01And he's not quite sure where he is.
44:04They had that shot there.
44:04He's not quite sure where he is.
44:05So he looks for the floor.
44:07And then thinks he can get up and then goes back down.
44:09He did the right thing.
44:09Because that saves himself for another round.
44:12It might be another round of misery.
44:13But he would have got stopped at the boys on his feet, I feel.
44:16He didn't know where he was.
44:22But Al Lusik can switch a round.
44:24But there's not much going on.
44:25He's not having a little success.
44:27He's been in the round.
44:28And then all of a sudden, with three punches,
44:30he changes that round dramatically to a 10-9, 10-8.
44:36He's starting to look a little battered and beleaguered in there, Daniel Dubois.
44:43He just didn't really know what had happened there.
44:47That's what Olexander Lusik can do to you.
44:55Lusik complains about a low blow.
44:58It probably was no, but the referee never saw it.
45:01He just, he just, he went off Lusik's reactions.
45:03This is not what you should be doing.
45:05Lusik referee the fight, but maybe he thought he owed him one.
45:09After what happened earlier on.
45:13Swing and a miss there from Dubois.
45:15Yeah, that was who took the step back, but didn't come back with that left hand.
45:18There it is, though.
45:25Again, Ousik coming forward and landing that left hand.
45:28This might be the start to the finish here.
45:31It feels that way.
45:32I think Ousik believes that Dubois might start to unravel here now.
45:35Still two minutes to go in round number nine.
45:39He's down to take that step round with the foot on the outside as well.
45:44Pushes in back with the southpaw jab here, Ousik.
45:47Look at that, just teeing off on Dubois.
45:58Blood to the nose now, Dubois.
46:04Dubois still nodding and still saying come forward, but there wasn't much top in his punches there.
46:09No, but a good combination.
46:10Look at left hook here from Dubois.
46:12He's got an 81-2.
46:18Down again.
46:20Straight right hand from Ousik.
46:22Led with it.
46:24I'm not sure Dubois saw it coming.
46:26He's looking at his corner here.
46:28Is he going to survive here, Dubois?
46:30No, it's over.
46:33It's over.
46:34It's over.
46:34The master does it in front of his people.
46:42And it has never mattered more.
46:46In the rain in Rostov, on an unforgettable night for so many reasons,
46:53Ousik shows once again that he is one of the very, very best.
46:58Just brilliant.
47:00He's just a joy to watch.
47:02You can see how he's going, like a mathematician, he works through his problems in each round.
47:08He's working through it.
47:09And because he has such a size disadvantage, he has to be cautious.
47:13But he's picking your ways, picking your path.
47:15And he knew Dubois was gone.
47:17And without that delay there with the low blow, that might have been two rounds earlier.
47:22Dupac actually a real toughness.
47:24But again, he did stay down.
47:26That's the second time he's done that, though.
47:28I'm not criticizing him for it.
47:30He was lost and bewildered.
47:32He didn't know where the punches were coming from.
47:34And he maybe did the right thing for himself.
47:36That's the second time he'll get criticized for that.
47:38But Ousik, again, brilliant.
47:40In a fight he was going to win.
47:41He was always better than Dubois.
47:43But it was always that size disadvantage that he had.
47:45But how he can change the tempo of a fight with either one, two or three punches automatically is absolutely beautiful to watch.
47:55And once he starts moving around the target in a semicircle motion, you know that fight, the other fight is in trouble.
48:04The celebrations continue here.
48:06And Ousik now, with a great deal of class, is going to go over to the Daniel Dubois corner.
48:12And you're right, by the way.
48:13Echoes of that, Joe Joy's defeat.
48:16The Q-word will be thrown around a lot.
48:21Well, it will.
48:22Because ultimately, he did...
48:26Critics not shouldn't be the square where they don't necessarily.
48:30Because your team...
48:32But he was confused and he was lost.
48:34And I thought that was going to be the case, actually.
48:37But I thought it was going to be wrong too, yeah.
48:39And when he went down, he's looking at this corner.
48:42And I don't know what they're saying.
48:44Maybe they're saying it's paid out.
48:45I don't think so.
48:46But he thought, I don't know what I'm doing here.
48:48I'm lost.
48:48He's up against a Maverick.
48:52A Maverick.
48:53A generational talent here.
48:55All the time they lose it.
48:55Just to round that off.
49:03And I think it's worth listening to my view on that.
49:05The Q-word is very simple.
49:07If you, like Barry, have got in there and done it at whatever level, say what you want.
49:11If you're like me and didn't, you've got no right to say anything about Daniel Dubois.
49:15Daniel should be proud of himself though.
49:16Absolutely.
49:16I mean, I mean, he maybe, he could have gone for it quicker than harder.
49:20But, but, he showed a bit of toughness when he took a shot.
49:24But at the end, but ultimately at the end, he stayed on his knee.
49:27That's just a fact.
49:28That's all, that's all life is.
49:32I thought people were going to see the finish.
49:33See, Frank Warren's having a word with Louis Stavon.
49:35But let's have a look now at the finish.
49:36Yeah, Barry, talk us through this.
49:37These are heavy shots, but the shots he's not seeing coming by then.
49:40He's already tired now.
49:42He can't see the shots coming.
49:43And it's a shock to your system.
49:44It really is.
49:45So, he gets hit here.
49:47Look, I'll do this as he jumps in with that softball jab.
49:50That's not a touch that really knocks you down.
49:52He's gone to the floor there, he's looked for the floor.
49:55Because he doesn't know where he is.
49:57He's lost and confused and he's hurt.
49:59But he's gone to the floor and he's decided to stay there.
50:02But he, but before that, he had a brave attempt.
50:06He took some good shots.
50:07He fired back at the pressure the best he could.
50:10The best he could.
50:11Those things he could have done better that should have been done better.
50:14But he did the best he could.
50:15But he wasn't good enough.
50:16Alexander Music is a better fighter.
50:18He's a better thinker.
50:19He's technically better.
50:21All he doesn't have is the size of Ampest.
50:24That's all.
50:24Everything else.
50:26He had the ticks in his column against Daniel Kuba.
