00:00This will be in July, it's time for 12 months of 3 minutes of the World Finals
00:06title WBCD Welter in the game
00:09It's an official World Finals
00:14Attention to Cavalios Casas who has 37 years, who has a lot of experience
00:18who has already fought a championship against Terence Crawford
00:21It was in 2019 at the Mallis Square Garden of New York
00:24and the love of Crawford, who is one of the best, all the best boxers
00:29in all categories confondues today
00:30It has been the most difficult combat of his career
00:34It won't be able to go to the front
00:37face to this guy who is little, powerful
00:43who has a job
00:45who knows to be aggressive
00:47and at the contrary, Fabrice Portsoleman
00:51it will be able to show what he knows to do
00:53the best box, the movement, the precision
00:55It is necessary to be good
00:58the two boxers have a lack of ring
01:01so at least it is equitable
01:03it has been a year and a half that they have not been boxing
01:05it will be able to find his repairs
01:09it will be able to find one or two rounds
01:11and after the combat will be able to get back
01:13I think
01:14a good point
01:16for Sisoko
01:17and we see the work of cadrage
01:19of Cavalioskas
01:20who has taken control
01:21from the center of the ring
01:22yeah
01:28yeah
01:30he's able to take the road
01:31yeah
01:38he's able to take his distance
01:40and he's hearing
01:42the guard
01:44he's able to be in the space
01:46of space, and the power, the precision of his remise.
01:51He wants to counter it in uppercut.
01:53I don't know if he touched it, but before he tried it.
01:56So his strategy is to counter it in uppercut.
02:01So it's on the front, on the back,
02:03on the front, on the front,
02:04to be intelligent,
02:05to be illusible.
02:06He can do a lot of things in the ring,
02:08even if he doesn't have the same power
02:12as his adversaries.
02:14In any case, not enough victory before the limit.
02:25He touched it, he touched it in the right,
02:27he touched it in the right.
02:29Little right.
02:38It's very tactical, it's really a game of position,
02:41he can't stop it,
02:43he can't stop it,
02:44he can't stop it when Cavalioscas starts.
02:47Yeah, well, direct from the left, like that, it's good.
02:50And, again, it's 12 rounds, Fabrice.
02:53It's long.
02:54Yes.
02:55We have time to build,
02:56and we have to take our records.

04:00Yeah, exactly.
04:01Under the lights of international level.
04:04Alright, 2e reprise
04:07dans cette opposition de style.
04:15L'upercutant d'avançant,
04:17c'est pas top.
04:18C'est un peu assez dangereux.

04:31Ă  ses adversaires.
04:32it's there, it's well on himself, it's good, it's good, it's good, it's good.
04:39Big bag in amateur, the world medal, champion of the world, he has done two times the Olympic Games,
04:44he had been beaten by Alexi Vastin in the first round of Pekin.
04:54And then he has done all his career to the United States, Kavalioskas,
04:58Lituaniens de naissance,
05:03with two fights in career face to Crawford,
05:06then face to Vergil Ortiz Jr.,
05:08he lost face to the best welter of the world.
05:28Droitier contre Droitier,
05:39the coup d'œil, the precision, the timing,
05:42these are the weapons of Suleiman Tissoko
05:46for the machine.
05:48That's his name.
06:00Even more aggressive than at the time,
06:03I remember very well of this world champion.
06:05He had really been very hard,
06:08he had put in front of the first round
06:10and then after Crawford,
06:12with his science,
06:14he had adjusted the mire
06:16and repris the top.
06:18Yes!
06:19Attention!

06:46he has left 20 seconds
06:47Yes,
06:50the round is lost
06:51but no matter,
06:52he has to go to the end
06:53to try to recover
06:55his esprit
06:56We haven't seen him
06:57right at the start,
06:58start
07:04a victory 21 by KO and it's statistics you have an illustration on this sequence
07:12that we will see
07:28you okay
07:36yeah it's the left side
07:38the right side
07:39yeah the first one who had already a little bit sonned Suleyman
07:45and the justness and the precision of this left side
07:48who came to catch Suleyman while he tried to move on the side
07:53we look at Brian Masloum and John Devy
07:57who has long been the mentor and the trainer in France
08:00the manager of the France of the box
08:05the trainer to Rio
08:06architect of this amazing Olympic success
08:09that I salute
08:11John
08:13with whom I have commented
08:15many fights
08:16and who has made the voyage to support Suleyman
08:23and this is only the 3rd round
08:26and he has already passed a lot
08:28I was just trying to look for to see if he had recovered
08:30well it's not no longer
08:32it was not
08:33the coups were powerful
08:34but it wasn't really
08:36it wasn't really
08:37it wasn't really
08:38so he recovered
08:39he recovered
08:40but now it's a start of the fight
08:42which is a bit complicated
08:43a year and a half without boxing
08:44to go to the 2nd round
08:45it's complicated
08:47and he has already been
08:48in his carrière
08:49he has already been blessed
08:50remember
08:51it was in a stage of 70.000 people
08:53in the sous-card
08:54to Canelo Alvarez
08:55he had been
08:56the
08:57he had been
08:58the eye left
08:59or the eye right
09:00I don't know
09:01but
09:03he had seried the teeth
09:04to go to the end
09:05it was faced
09:06a young
09:07again
09:12it's 12 rounds
09:13Fabrice
09:14it's long
09:15it's a adventure
09:16and he has the time
09:17to
09:18But the rounds, it's going to win.
09:20And they're still caught there.
09:22And they hit Cavalius-Carsen.
09:26The coups are heavy.
09:30And the ring suddenly makes it small.
09:34Sometimes they're trying to get it, yes.
09:42All right.
09:43And it's hard to get it.
09:49And on the job, Cavalius-Carsen,
09:51who is just waiting.
09:53Yes, he doesn't do it anymore.
09:55He doesn't do it anymore.
09:57He doesn't do it anymore.
09:59Very efficient, very precise.
10:03It's more difficult to move than to move.
10:13He doesn't do it anymore.
10:15He doesn't do it anymore.
10:17He doesn't do it anymore.
10:19He doesn't do it anymore.
10:27There's no part where to catch it.
10:29And particularly when you have a profile like that,
10:33who avance without a chance,
10:35who knows very well to go through the road.
10:37He doesn't do it anymore.
10:39He needs this round to recover
10:41or to find his marks.
10:43But it's not that way
10:45we win the round.
10:46You have to be careful.
10:47What do you think of this third round,
11:00Fabrice?
11:01Well, there he doesn't do anything.
11:04We see Suleyman who moves a lot,
11:08who turns,
11:09who doesn't stay in the axis
11:10but who hasn't been very active.
11:12His opponent,
11:14who, he, avance,
11:16he doesn't let him go either.
11:19He doesn't let him go either.
11:20He doesn't let him go.
11:21He doesn't give a lot of damage.
11:23He doesn't give a lot of damage.
11:31I can't get that much.
11:32This is how he wants to get it.
11:33Take focus.
11:34Take focus.
11:35Take focus.
11:36Do not fall out.
11:37Do not come out high.
11:39Stay ball.
11:41RANDE serrée,
11:42compétitif et...
11:43A qui l'attribuée, Fabrice ?
11:44Bah c'est pour ça.
11:45Je ne sais pas si...
11:47C'est pas un chopeur du monde.
11:48Donc qu'est-ce qu'on peut donner
11:49des routes de match nul ?
11:51OĂą est-ce qu'il faut donner
11:52obligatoirement Ă  un vainqueur ?
11:53Seconder.
11:54C'est comme ça.
11:56Je crois que la WC incite les juges
11:59to give, what happens, a winner.
12:02Well, it's done.
12:06All right, fourth round.
12:16And it will be a series of competition
12:18that it will be able to win and win
12:21the ones after the others
12:22that Suleiman Tissoko
12:23will gravize
12:25this last march.
12:29Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry.
12:31He can't win the fight.
12:33That's why he's not right, Suleiman Tissoko.
12:39And there, it's going to work a little bit more now.
12:41All right.
12:47On voit Suleiman a little bit more
12:49in the center of the ring
12:50with a little bit more space
12:51behind him.
12:52All right.
12:59Bravan, there,
13:00who begins to find the line
13:03between the guard of Cavalioskas.
13:12All right.
13:12All right.
13:13All right.
13:14All right.
13:15All right.
13:15All right.
13:16All right.
13:17All right.
13:17All right.
13:18All right.
13:19All right.
13:19All right.
13:19All right.
13:20All right.
13:20All right.
13:21All right.
13:21All right.
13:21All right.
13:22All right.
13:23All right.
13:23All right.
13:23All right.
13:24All right.
13:24All right.
13:25All right.
13:25All right.
13:26All right.
13:26All right.
13:27All right.
13:27All right.
13:28All right.
13:28All right.
13:29All right.
13:30All right.
13:31All right.
13:32All right.
13:33All right.
13:34All right.
13:35All right.
13:36All right.
13:37All right.
13:38All right.
13:39All right.
13:40All right.
13:41A little bit of frustration for Cavalier Oskar in this round, who doesn't come to express himself.
13:58There are no very powerful shots for Suleyman, but it's Suleyman who leads the dance for the moment in this reprise.
14:06He is capable, by his placement, of neutralizing all the offensive of Cavalier Oskar.
14:20A good return of the bus for Suleyman, who finds his distance.
14:31And it's hard to dance like this, like this, like this, on the knees, Fabrice.
14:37And like you said, there are 12 rounds.
14:39We danced less at your time, it's a bit more lourd.
14:44It's more difficult to dance.
14:49He's smiling, Cavalier Oskar, but this image says a lot.
14:57It's frustrating, yes.
14:58Because there he only finds the void on this 4th round.
15:01A advantage of Suleyman, Sissoko.
15:04You can't get away from Glam.
15:13Beat him up with the Glam.
15:15And then when you get so used to it, it's right here.
15:18It's just going to get right through, okay.
15:20Now don't catch fight when you throw your combinations.
15:23Don't run to your feet.
15:25Okay, just don't swing him.
15:26Place him in there. Boom, boom, boom.
15:28Suleyman, he doesn't have intérêt to stay in front.
15:30There, in the first round, it's not going to stay in front of his opponent.
15:38His opponent is powerful.
15:40And you see your card, Fabrice.
15:42For the moment, a point of advance for Cavalier Oskar.
15:45With this knockdown, obviously, in the second round.
15:48He gives 18 points, so 2 points.
15:50But everything remains possible.
15:52The route is still very long.
15:54It's the beginning, yes.
15:56On a 1-3 of the match.
15:58He can pass things in double round.
16:055th round.
16:065th round.
16:075th round.
16:10In any case, attention,
16:11it was again Pierre Cuttel, Suleyman,
16:13who falls and is counting.
16:15Attention, because when we fall from the ring,
16:17we have 20 seconds, not 10.
16:19He is debout, Suleyman.
16:20But it happens in the beginning of the round.
16:22That's what it is, yes.
16:23It's not good at all.
16:26It's 2 minutes 36 for Cavalier Oskar.
16:29The machine is again in march.
16:34And there, it will be able to mobilize
16:36all these years, all these treasures of experience
16:38to survive this attack.
16:40It's hard at the beginning of the round.
16:41All right, all right, all right.
16:43It's a winner Cavalier Oskar.
16:44They are powerful, these coups,
16:47They are powerful.
16:48They are powerful.
16:49They are heavy.
16:50Yes.
16:53They are full of bad intentions.
17:01Two minutes.
17:02and we saw it two times on top but
17:08sous les mains de Tissoko
17:10who is still in this fight
17:24he asks to move on the pointe
17:26and attention to Cavaliuskas
17:28who attend
17:30the good moment Cavaliuskas
17:34and who push Tissoko
17:38to work
17:40they are powerful
17:42it's incredible
17:48the cold look
17:50of Cavaliuskas
17:52the instinct of the finish
17:54a little bit of frustration
18:08you saw
18:10as Suleiman
18:12who turns in all the senses
18:14who is still
18:16the force
18:18and the lucidity
18:20and the capacity
18:22to be able to dance like that
18:24he is almost
18:26in the middle of the ring
18:28at the beginning of the round
18:30and that
18:32it is still
18:34the quality of work
18:36yes
18:38everything was done
18:40to win this fight
18:42it's Durin who will speak
18:44as
18:46as
18:48as
18:50as
18:52as
18:54as
18:56as
18:58as
19:00as
19:02as
19:04as
19:06as
19:08everything is still possible
19:10but a new time
19:12Sisoko
19:14a put his left hip
19:16It's time to show him who you are, with confidence, you can hurt him.
19:23He's standing there looking for punches and how to hit you with.
19:26He don't think nothing's gonna come back.
19:28Okay? Look at me.
19:30You need this, okay?
19:32This is what great fighters do. They come from my eyes.
19:35That's what the big boxers do.
19:38They come from far away.
19:41Ohlala, this super cute, magnificent.
19:45Uppercute du bras avant.
19:47Ohlala.
19:53Quelle image Tsitsoko qui se raccroche à la dernière corde du ring.
19:57Quel symbole.
19:59Alors on n'est pas encore dans cette configuration.
20:01Mais ça me rappelle, et je ne souhaite pas qu'on arrive dans cette configuration,
20:04mais ça me rappelle le combat d'Hassan Endam face à Peter Quillen,
20:07championnat du monde des points moyens,
20:09où Hassan avait été envoyé six fois au tapis.
20:11Malheureusement, il va deux fois au tapis dans le dernier round,
20:13mais avant le dernier round, il était encore en position de gagné.
20:17C'est-à-dire que malgré quatre knockdowns,
20:19il était encore en position de gagné,
20:21parce que tous les rounds où il avait été debout, il était en avance.
20:27Allez, sixième reprise de cette demi-finale mondiale qui est passionnante par son scénario.
20:31Et on a vu tour à tour les qualités de ces deux garçons.
20:35L'intelligence, la précision, la sélection des frappes et la puissance naturelle explosive de Cavalioskas.
20:41Et son calme, son calme, il fait peur.
20:45Et j'ai envie de vous dire mĂŞme sa froideur.
20:47Il faut travailler. Il faut mettre de l'incertitude avec ce bras avant-lĂ .
20:51Il faut l'empêcher justement d'enclencher ces séquences, Cavalioskas.
20:57Il faut travailler. Il faut mettre de l'incertitude avec ce bras avant-lĂ .
21:08Il faut l'empêcher justement d'enclencher ces séquences Cavalioskas.
21:11How are you going to?
21:33The arm is blocked.
21:41The change of energy will also be important, because there is a very energivore style for Suleiman, who moves a lot more than his opponent.
21:51He doesn't want to leave the round.
22:09For who? For Suku, or for Cavalioskas?
22:12No, no, for Suleiman, he recule, he's not very active, his adversaire avance, he's not very active anymore.
22:21Yes, of course, of course.
22:23And if Cavalioskas is not active, it's that Sisoko doesn't give him the opportunity.
22:28Yes, of course, of course.
22:31Yes, of course, with Cavalioskas, 좋아.
22:47He's on the left side.
22:54And we feel the frustration.
22:55She is visible to Cavalioskas
22:57who is looking for the mano-a-mano,
22:59who is looking for the fight at mid-distance.
23:01And it's a box to him.
23:03And there, Suleyman,
23:05he comes to neutralize.
23:13And this round, I give Suleyman.
23:15He won't hold my card.
23:17He doesn't hold me like you, but...
23:19We're together.
23:21We've seen the same thing.
23:45Boom, hook, boom, hook.
23:47Go, go, go.
23:49You gotta run the guy out, remember, okay ?
23:53Look at that work here, Digan.
23:55I don't put two minutes, right ?
23:57Don't get discouraged when they're running around.
23:59He's winning by the piece.
24:01They're giving him the rounds by giving him the good.
24:03Well, this frustration,
24:05we've seen several times.
24:07Cavalioskas can play a role in the second part of the match.
24:11Because, in force of frustration,
24:13it can play on the psychological dynamics,
24:15the confidence.
24:16It's very important.
24:17It can make mistakes.
24:19It can make mistakes.
24:21Exactly.
24:23All right, we'll entame this seventh round.
24:25But, I think he won't sleep like that all the rounds.
24:30He's the job.
24:31He's the job.
24:32He's the job, but Suleyman has the legs.
24:36Suleyman has the legs.
24:37Exactly.
24:54All right, an chain for Suleyman Sisoko.
24:55The coups are blocked for Cavalioskas
24:59who now works,
25:00The technique, the tactique, it's hard, Fabrice, it's a high level.
25:30Karolioska is in distance, attention, it's there where he is in danger, when he has no space
25:51on his shoulders to engage, when he is acculling against the cords.
25:55Karolioska is in distance with this constant pressure of Karolioska.
26:05Karolioska is in distance.
26:12Karolioska is in distance.
26:17Karolioska is in distress.
26:27Karolioska is in distance.
26:28He moves, he moves on his legs.
26:36He touches well with his directs to the left.
26:38That's good.
26:44The directs to the left is essential in this fight.
26:48There is a proverb in English who says
26:51The left will lead to the street, the jab will lead to the world.
26:58We hope he will lead the lead.
27:01He will lead to the world.
27:03That's the hand of Sissoko.
27:09He esquive, the timing, the eye.
27:12The reflexes are still there.
27:15It's a hand that, despite everything, is more competitive.
27:22I am the only witness of your card, Fabrice.
27:27But the viewers will know what you gave this round to Suleyman.
27:32I promise I will never risk this work that is too delicate.
27:38We are always commentators.
27:41We live with passion, with emotion, the thing.
27:45The opposite of the work of a judge.
27:47He must watch a round in his ensemble with calm, with cold.
27:51And a judge who is also at the edge of the ring.
27:54This gives a different perspective.
28:06It's more often that he gets touched on the left.
28:09When he comes out with the right, he sends a right arm.
28:12In the eighth reprises.
28:13In the eighth reprises.
28:15Just standing.
28:16In the right!
28:18No left!
28:19No left!
28:20No left!
28:21No left!
28:22No left!
28:23No left!
28:24No left!
28:25No left!
28:26This comes past, and there is this frustration.
28:28This defensive defensive bays for Cavale Oscas.
28:32Put it up as it.
28:33Who became unpredictable.
28:35He's going to come into it now.
28:40Why? He hasn't started, Fabrice?
28:43No, because Suleyman moved well.
28:47So it was difficult to cadre.
28:50But now he augmente the speed.
28:56We arrive little to little to the top of the championship.
29:01And we said, the energy management will be very important.
29:09And it's there that the Matinets are suffering on the track.
29:14Exactly.
29:15We talked about it earlier.
29:17He's suffering, now he knows he can do it.
29:20Because it's not a problem of energy management for Cavalioskas.
29:30He's in this configuration of the fight.
29:32He doesn't give a lot.
29:34It's just...
29:35Attention, supercute.
29:36He's passing through the guard.
29:38Cavalioskas avance.
29:40And there, with a young boy like that,
29:50we can't allow him to beat the regime.
29:56And to be able to beat the force.
29:58That would be a strategy at short term.
30:01No, but what we need is to stay a little bit.
30:04We need to be able to work on the track.
30:07It's hard, it's hard.
30:12It's hard.
30:13It's hard to hear, until Paris.
30:16The impact of this crochet of the rear of Cavalioskas.
30:20Cavalioskas
30:28It's well done, yes
30:301-2
30:31and the 3
30:32crochet left behind
30:36I know very well what Suleyman does

33:07blow
33:08here
33:10the
33:12eye
33:13always
33:14哪裡
33:14Dan
33:15who doesn't let Cavalioskas enter at mi-distance.
33:24Sissoko on the point of the feet, Cavalioskas often with the feet flat,
33:27with the desire to put on the floor to look for power.
33:31And the point that he gives, he doesn't touch.
33:33He doesn't touch it.
33:34So it's good.
33:35All right, Suli.
33:36All right, well, it's good.
33:38You block, you move, it's good, it's good.
33:41All right.
33:42All right.
33:44All right.
33:45All right.
33:46All right.
33:47All right.
33:55All right.
34:00All right.
34:02We speak about a boxer from the world.
34:05Cavalioskas.
34:06So there is nothing worse for a boxer that not to be able to express it.
34:12But it's completely different, and then after the run passes, they start to have less energy, less juice.
34:17And their reactions are already less vives.
34:24Frustration, frustration, it's what we hear in Virgil Hunter.
34:28And look at his attitude, he doesn't ask.
34:36He can't touch it.
34:46And the defensive responsibility is behind Cavalioskas.
34:53He's throwing on his feet, he's trying to impress.
34:57He needs an enormous quality to do what Suleyman Sissoko.
35:07We saw it on the track, and there it is.
35:11Because it's the same thing to move.
35:13Fin de la neuvième reprise.
35:19And again a round to the advantage of Suleyman.
35:22He's throwing on the one after the other.
35:26And we arrive towards his championship 10, 11, 12.
35:30Where the exception is designed.
35:35There is often the issue of a fight.
35:38That's right.
35:39That's right.
35:40That's right.
35:41That's right.
35:42That's the biggest physical condition.
35:44The biggest desire.
35:45Keep the jab working.
35:48Stay in position.
35:49That's right.
35:51It's time to sit down on your jab.
35:53That power jab.
35:54Okay.
35:55That's right.
35:56That's right.
35:57That's right.
35:58Well, Suleyman's not necessarily the power of the
36:03Terrence Crawford or so many other fighters who have
36:06played the history of this category.
36:09Yes.
36:10With Tommy Ernst and others.
36:12But then, what a regret to see him dance.
36:16He's already a very bad start.
36:19And now, he's going to be there.
36:21He's going to be there.
36:22He's going to be there.
36:23He's going to be there.
36:24You will have lied by.
36:25Come on that Papi won.
36:26Come on up.
36:29Come on.
36:31The bag of Kavaliou.
36:32He changed a little bit of attitude.
36:35He Ůľ Vienna in Little M Republic.
36:39It could say
36:53We are in the theme.
36:55We are in the middle.
37:04It's good reaction.
37:16He is in his fight.
37:18But there is always this uncertainty.
37:21There is always this push of Kavaliouzkas
37:24who can still fail.
37:27But he is less frail.
37:29He has less weight.
37:30From the beginning,
37:31after Suleiman.
37:33He has less energy.
37:36I often say that
37:38the life of a boxer
37:39is the sum of his fights.
37:41And they are very, very many
37:43for Kavaliouzkas.
37:44Very many at high level.
37:46Plus of freshness.
37:48Plus of envy
37:49for Suleiman.
37:51He has already grazed this mountain.
37:54Kavaliouzkas.
37:55Suleiman
37:57begins this ascension
37:59for the first time.
38:11Attention.
38:12He will be dangerous just for you.
38:14And we will tremble.
38:15We will tremble.
38:16Fabrice.
38:17Second time.
38:19Seven AREA.
38:20One of all.
38:21Two Rockers.
38:22Three Masi.
38:23Two masi.
38:25Two masi is gold.
38:26Three risotto.
38:27Three.
38:28Three masi.
38:30Two masi.
38:31Two masi.
38:33Two masi.
38:34One.
38:35Three Dasheats.
38:36A fight on a global impression, or on the one who is the most damaged at the end of the fight.
38:42And we can win a fight by going to the top two times, even three times.
38:47That's what he is trying to prove.
38:51And we often say that it's in the pain that we see the face of a champion.
38:55We are trying to see it for Suleyman.
38:58That makes 3-4 rounds that he hits in the wind, Cavalier Oskar.
39:10He lets the openings at the end of the round.
39:12And often on the rounds, it's the 20-30 last seconds left in the hearts of the judges.
39:18Exactly.
39:20And it's often there that Suleyman is precise.
39:29It's still a round.
39:34And the doors of the world are close.
39:41You're getting the second win, aren't you?
39:43You're in great shape.
39:45Great shape.
39:47All he can do is pick his feet up for about 30 seconds here, 10 seconds there.
39:51He can't keep it up the whole round.
39:54When he comes off his feet, that's when you hit him in the middle of the ring.
39:57Okay?
39:58Don't go in the middle of the ring.
39:59Okay?
40:00Don't go in the middle of the world.
40:01We're going to try to move him.
40:02But keep in position.
40:03Keep his left shoulder right there.
40:04Okay?
40:05Keep the guard right there.
40:06Keep the guard right there.
40:07Let's go.
40:08Let's go.
40:09Let's go.
40:10Let's go.
40:11Let's go.
40:12Please, please, y'all.
40:13Please, y'all.
40:14Come on.
40:15Let's go.
40:18Ah, he l'empĂŞche completely.
40:20Ah, he neutralizes.
40:21Ah, yeah, yeah.
40:22Let's go.
40:23Let's go.
40:24Let's go.
40:25Let's go.
40:26Let's go.
40:27Let's go.
40:28Let's go.
40:29Let's go.
40:30Let's go.
40:31Let's go.
40:32Let's go.
40:33Enchanté.
40:34Enchanté.
40:35Enchanté.
40:36Enchanté.
40:37Enchanté.
40:38Enchanté.
40:39Enchanté.
40:40Enchanté.
40:41Enchanté.
40:42Enchanté.
40:43Enchanté.
40:44Enchanté.
40:45Et si on pouvait se poser des questions sur sa capacité à tenir les douze rondes.
40:48A ce rythme-là, Fabrice, je pense qu'on a un début de réponse dans ce onzième.
40:55Puis surtout, il y'a la dynamique du combat qui nous porte, qui est en sa faveur.
41:01All right.
41:03All right.
41:05Yes, he has no energy.
41:19The machine is too enrayed?
41:23Yes, he is neutralized.
41:29Now it's got to pick, it's got to exploit these openings, these failures
41:43which are more and more beautiful in the guard of Cavalioskas.
41:53He doesn't find the distance, he doesn't find the rhythm.
41:59Stay down, stay down, stay down.
42:03Rest calm, frustre-le.
42:05VoilĂ , c'est bien, allez, il faut mettre plus, allez.
42:11Petit problème de Scotch pour Cavalioskas.
42:18Restez calme dans le KO.
42:21Allez, c'est maintenant que se joue un destin.
42:29Il a mis 8 ans, 8 ans pour arriver aux portes du championnat du monde.
42:32Et Cavalioskas qui avance toujours.
42:43Attention le crochet gauche.
42:44Crochet gauche encore, oui.
42:47Allez, l'hupercute du bras arrière.
42:50Allez, sur ces 30 dernières secondes qui ont souvent été déterminantes dans des rondes serrées et compétitives.
43:08Il faut tous les prendre pour Souleymane Tissoko.
43:10Un bras arrière, un bras arrière peut lui offrir ce round.
43:21VoilĂ , c'est le essai hors distance.
43:22Ce sera compétitif indécis jusqu'au bout.
43:40Et on va assister au 12ème round.
43:44Dans un combat qui partait mal pour Souleymane Tissoko.
43:49Et l'arrivée est belle, ça fait déjà 6 rounds là.
43:52Il est en vitesse de croisière.
43:54Il est grappé, il est grappé.
43:56Son adversaire n'arrive pas Ă  le toucher.
43:57Sans être forcément ultra dominant, il faut être honnête.
44:00Bien sûr, bien sûr.
44:01Fabrice.
44:03Bien sûr, mais son adversaire n'arrive plus là.
44:05Il manque toujours 10 cm.
44:07Il n'arrive plus Ă  le cadrer, Ă  le bloquer.
44:10Et Souleymane, il est toujours sur ses jambes.
44:12Ce que dit souvent Souleymane de Souleymane, c'est la science de la boxe.
44:15La science des détails.
44:16On est en train de l'avoir à l'œuvre, cette science.
44:24Et si on suit votre carte, Fabrice, le combat est gagné.
44:29OK ?
44:30Juste faire de lui payer quand il est en train.
44:32Juste faire de lui misser.
44:33Juste faire de lui.
44:34OK ?
44:37Ă€ moins d'un drap.
44:39Et c'est la magie de la boxe, de nous offrir toujours cette incertitude jusqu'au bout.
44:45Le visage quand mĂŞme de Cavalioskas.
44:48Andilo, 12ème et dernier round, à 3 minutes d'un championnat du monde.
44:54Et c'est 3 minutes dans ce combat de très très haut niveau.
45:01Et c'est sa dernière danse à Cavalioskas.
45:03Il va vendre chèrement sa peau.
45:07Jusqu'au bout, il va y croire.
45:08Ça va être dangereux par contre le dernier round.
45:10Faire attention.
45:11Très dangereux.
45:21Attention, les mains bien hautes.
45:22Les frappes au corps de Cavalioskas.
45:31VoilĂ  ce bras avant pour reprendre un petit peu de distance, pour reprendre un peu d'air.
45:35Attention, on voit le Lithuanien qui commence à travailler avec plus de précision.
45:44Et surtout Souleymane qui est moins dansant.
45:57Ouais, il le défie Cavalioskas, mais...
46:01Souleymane n'est pas de ce genre lĂ .
46:05Pas le genre à se laisser aller à l'affrontement bête et méchant.
46:12Ce n'est pas son terrain de jeu.
46:30Et on arrive dans la dernière minute.
46:35On va la reprendre de l'espace.
46:50Danser, bouger, ne pas accepter les échanges.
46:53Il en a marre.
47:02Il l'a neutralisé.
47:05C'est beau.
47:06Ce n'est pas facile à faire avec le départ qu'il a eu.
47:08VoilĂ , c'est bien.
47:09Très très fort.
47:10Très très fort.
47:15On va attendre la décision tout de même.
47:18Fabrice, on va vibrer sur ces 30 dernières secondes.
47:20En tout cas, Souleymane a, ce soir, livré un grand combat.
47:29Une frustration en 10 longs sur le combat auquel on a assisté.
47:39Et une ultime esquive.
47:40Et les dernières secondes et les derniers efforts pour gravir cette dernière marche.
47:49Souleymane Sissoko a fait un grand combat ce soir.
47:53Malgré deux voyages au tapis, il est revenu sur la deuxième moitié du combat.
47:58Il a pris les rounds les uns après les autres.
48:01Et il a fait un grand combat ce soir.
48:04Aura-t-il la faveur des juges ?
48:06On va le savoir dans quelques instants.
48:29Oui, quel combat.
48:30C'est vrai, messieurs Jean-Charles et Fabrice.
48:32Quel combat de Souleymane Sissoko qui a tenu, qui a pris la foudre au début,
48:39qui était à terre, c'est vrai, mais qui a réussi à retourner cette situation.
48:43Quel mental aussi Ă  souligner.
48:44On va l'entendre dans quelques instants.
48:46Souleymane Sissoko, Fabrice, quelle victoire.
48:50Avec le départ qu'il a eu, ce n'était pas évident.
48:52Il nous a bien fait peur.
48:54Mais voilà, il est toujours bien entraîné.
48:57On l'a vu sur la piste, ça va être ses jambes.
48:59Oui, sur la piste d'athlétisme.
49:01Ce soir, il avait besoin de ses jambes.
49:03Il a été intelligent.
49:05Il a neutralisé un adversaire qui n'était pas facile,
49:07qui frappait fort, qui était dur physiquement et mentalement.
49:11Mais mentalement, il l'a usé.
49:13Mentalement et avec une boxe intelligente,
49:16comme il l'aime Souleymane Sissoko, Jean-Charles.
49:19Oui, c'était une vraie opposition de ce style.
49:21Un technicien face Ă  un puncher agressif
49:24qui avait cette faculté d'avancer, de couper la route à ses adversaires.
49:29Il faut vraiment une préparation très haut niveau
49:32pour ĂŞtre capable de produire ce qu'a fait Souleymane.
49:34Et voilà, je le dis, je le répète, c'est dans la douleur
49:36qu'on voit le visage d'un champion et on l'a vu ce soir.
49:39On va l'entendre dans quelques instants, Souleymane Sissoko, sur le ring.
49:43La décision des juges en direct sur Canal Plusport 360.
49:47C'est vrai qu'il a mis du temps, quand mĂŞme, Souleymane Sissoko,
49:50à développer sa boxe, à la mettre en place sur ce ring
49:54face Ă  un rouleau compresseur.
49:56Cavalioskas, le lituanien, Fabrice ?
49:58Disons qu'il manquait de ring tous les deux.
50:02Il manquait de ring tous les deux.
50:03Mais c'est plus dur de reculer des publiciens.
50:05Avancer, tu montes tes mains, tu avances.
50:08C'est quand mĂŞme plus facile et moins fatigant.
50:10Après, il se fait compter au deuxième round.
50:12Après, il se fait compter encore.
50:13Après, c'est un départ qui est compliqué.
50:16Après, il faut être bien entraîné, courageux.
50:18Et fort dans la tĂŞte.
50:20Et face à un adversaire qui était fort dans la tête,
50:22qui l'a rendu faible dans la tĂŞte.
50:24Et ça, c'est pas évident.
50:26Et on a vu dans son coin, la famille Sisoko.
50:29Il y a ses frères Alpha et Eladj.
50:31Et c'est vrai que ça a toujours été une histoire de famille
50:35pour Souleymane, qui est né à Dakar,
50:37qui a grandi dans le 19e arrondissement de Paris,
50:39qui a su prendre beaucoup de lumière après les Jeux de Paris,
50:42faire passer beaucoup de messages positifs,
50:44qui est un formidable ambassadeur pour notre discipline.
50:46Et en Afrique, oui, ça aurait pu être à double tranchant.
50:49Ça aurait pu le tétaniser aussi à Malabo, en Guinée-Équatoriale.
50:52Il avait son fan club.
50:54Et il a tenu tĂŞte ce soir.
50:57Ça faisait partie des objectifs de sa carrière, de boxer en Afrique.
51:00Il y a toujours cette envie pour lui de boxer Ă  Dakar.
51:03C'était l'objectif premier.
51:04Les conditions financières n'étaient pas forcément réunies pour le faire.
51:08Mais désormais, s'il s'impose ce soir, il y a un championnat du monde.
51:14Et il a montré qu'il pouvait prendre en main son destin, qu'il pouvait être acteur de son destin en étant lui-même l'organisateur de cette soirée.
51:22C'est vraiment fort.
51:23C'est très fort.
51:24Ce n'est pas donné à tout le monde ce qu'a fait Souleymane ce soir.
51:26Pour vous, Fabrice Tiozzo, le plus grand palmarès de la boxe française, c'est lui le vainqueur de ce combat ce soir ?
51:32Ah oui, il n'y a pas photo.
51:33Il n'y a pas photo.
51:34Il n'y a pas photo ?
51:35Ah non, il n'y a pas photo pour moi.
51:36Non, non, il a été compté.
51:37Il y a des rounds oĂą il ne se passait pas grand chose.
51:42Il n'y a pas beaucoup de touches, tout ça.
51:43Mais il a géré son adversaire.
51:45VoilĂ .
51:46Et donc moi, je pense qu'à part les rounds où il a été compté et au départ un ou deux rounds comme ça, tous les autres les a gagnés.
51:53La décision en direct.
51:55Tous ensemble.
51:56Les deux boxeurs dans ce même élan pour un combat de ce niveau.
52:01Et ils ont démontré tous les deux qu'ils faisaient partie du gotha des meilleurs poids welter au monde, tout simplement.
52:13Et maintenant, la décision s'il vous plaît.
52:21L'attente est importante.
52:23La décision, s'il vous plaît.
52:26Nous avons une décision unanime.
52:34We have a unanimous decision.
52:39Pour M. Brahim HaĂŻdadi, 114-112.
52:441-14-112.
52:48Pour M. Ismail Williams, 115-111.
52:56Et enfin, pour M. Oliye Fogoun, 116-110.
53:031-16-110.
53:06The winner.
53:07Et toujours un vaincu.
53:11Suleymane Sissoko.
53:15Et qu'elle est belle, cette récompense, cette image.
53:22Fabrice Tiozzo, vous aviez raison.
53:24La victoire de Suleymane Sissoko.
53:2618e combat et 18e victoire pour le boxeur français de retour sur un ring après un an et demi d'absence.
53:35Il devient ce soir, Jean-Charles, le challenger officiel pour la ceinture mondiale WBC des poids welter.
53:41Quelle récompense, quelle victoire mériter ?
53:43Oui, c'est beau.
53:44Il y a eu un très bon choix de carrière de la part de Suleymane.
53:47C'est de changer de catégorie il y a trois ans.
53:50De passer à 66 kg dans cette catégorie où il est vraiment beaucoup plus optimisé.
53:55Où il a montré qu'il avait l'étoffe d'un futur champion, je l'espère.
54:00Et on va l'écouter peut-être en tout cas sur ces dernières années.
54:05Sa trajectoire, on va dire, c'est un petit peu décéléré.
54:09C'est-Ă -dire qu'il fallait choisir les bons combats, les combats qui le faisaient avancer.
54:13Et ça y est enfin, il est challenger face à Mario Barrios.
54:18On l'écoute, Suleymane Sissoko vainqueur.
54:20C'est un énorme soulagement parce que tu es passé par des moments extrêmement compliqués
54:24mais tu as trouvé les ressources en toi.
54:26Et donc ce soir, tu passes dans une autre dimension peut-ĂŞtre.
54:34Je vous remercie Ă  tous.
54:35C'était un combat très dur.
54:37Vous savez, pour faire ce genre de combat, il faut ĂŞtre deux.
54:40Et je tiens à remercier Eguis Cavaloskas qui est un très grand boxeur
54:43qui a perdu contre deux boxeurs très invaincus.
54:46Et aujourd'hui, c'est le troisième face à Kieper.
54:48Donc ça montre mes qualités.
54:49Ça montre que Suleymane, il est là.
54:51Et il va aller chercher la ceinture champion du monde.
54:53VoilĂ .
54:54Allez-y, remettez-lui pendant qu'on échange avec Suley cette ceinture tellement importante
55:01en espérant que ce soit un autre métal encore dans quelques mois.
55:05Suley, est-ce que finalement ce report de ce combat t'a endurci et t'a permis encore de passer un palier ?
55:14Bien sûr, ce report de combat, il m'a permis de passer un palier.
55:17C'était un combat dur mentalement parce que ça fait plus de six mois qu'on travaille sur ce combat-là.
55:22Et aujourd'hui, c'est chose faite.
55:24Je tiens vraiment Ă  tous de vous remercier.
55:26J'y suis allé au mental.
55:27Vous savez, c'est dans les grands rendez-vous comme ça qu'on voit Kieper.
55:29Suleymane, ça fait 18 mois qu'il n'a pas boxé.
55:32Et ce soir, il a montré qu'il est encore là.
55:34Merci Ă  tous.
55:35Un dernier petit mot, Suley.
55:36Est-ce qu'à un moment donné, dans ce combat, tu t'es mis à douter ?
55:40Ou finalement, tu as toujours été dans cette optique super positive de durer, de laisser passer l'orage et de revenir ?
55:47Je suis allé au mental.
55:48Vous savez, je n'ai pas triché à l'entraînement.
55:50J'ai travaillé très très très dur.
55:52Je savais que j'allais ĂŞtre attendu sur ce combat.
55:54Et aujourd'hui, c'est chose faite.
55:56Je suis tombé face à un très gros puncher.
55:58J'ai montré que je suis là.
56:00Je suis présent.
56:01Et je n'ai pas fini de montrer que je vais vraiment ramener une ceinture Ă  l'Afrique,
56:04mais aussi Ă  la France.
56:05Merci.
56:06Bravo.
56:07Bravo pour ce combat.
56:09VoilĂ .
56:11Il n'y a pas que le physique.
56:12Il y a la tĂŞte.
56:13On en a parlé en plateau avec Fabrice Chioso et Jean-Charles Barès.
56:18Cette victoire au mental de Suleymane Sisoko, 18e combat et 18e victoire.
56:23Et oui, il a remporté sa demi-finale.
56:25Et il devient donc ce soir le challenger officiel pour la ceinture mondiale WBC des poids au Helter.
56:31Il a pris la foudre.
56:32C'est vrai, Suleymane Sisoko.
56:33On va débriefer.
56:34On va dérouler le fil de ce combat acharné sur le ring de Malabo en Guinée équatoriale.
56:38Il a pris la foudre, mais il a aussi ensuite tenu le choc pour encaisser les coups.
56:44Fabrice, on l'a vu Ă  terre, Suleymane Sisoko.
56:47Cette image marquante aussi dans ce deuxième round face au rouleau compresseur.
56:51On savait que le combat allait se passer comme ça, que son adversaire allait marcher dessus.
57:02Le départ a été catastrophique.
57:03Après, il a réussi à poser sa boxe, à bouger sur ses jambes, à frustrer son adversaire.
57:09Mais lĂ , il a pris la pression quand mĂŞme.
57:10C'est ce qu'avait annoncé Lituaniens.
57:12Bien sûr.
57:13C'est le début de combat.
57:14Après, il s'est relevé.
57:15Même Lituaniens a demandé comment ça se fait que ce gars se relève à chaque fois.
57:20Après, il a fait son travail.
57:22Il était sur ses jambes.
57:23Ă€ un moment, il tournait beaucoup.
57:25Après, il tournait un petit peu moins.
57:26Après, il restait.
57:27Il a fait ce qu'il fallait pour gagner.
57:29Après, moi, je lui donne tous les rounds où il ne se passe pas grand-chose, tout ça.
57:34Après, il a gagné.
57:39Il a gagné.
57:40Ça faisait longtemps qu'il n'avait pas boxé.
57:47Moi, je l'aime bien.
57:48Je l'aime bien, Souleymane.
57:50Beaucoup l'aiment bien, Souleymane.
57:51Bien sûr.
57:52Face à un adversaire comme ça, ce n'était pas évident.
57:55Mais moi, j'en veux toujours plus.
57:56On a tremblé, c'est vrai, au début de ce combat.
57:59On s'est même demandé en plateau si Souleymane Sissoko n'était pas trop fragile pour ce genre d'adversaire.
58:04Non, c'est un boxeur qui frappe dur sur l'adversaire.
58:07Oui, mais que Souleymane Sissoko était peut-être trop fragile.
58:10Qu'est-ce qu'il a changé tactiquement, concrètement, après avoir été au tapis face à Cavalioskas, Jean-Charles ?
58:18Je ne pense pas qu'il ait changé grand-chose.
58:20Moi, je retiendrai cette image qui est, je pense, très symbolique.
58:22Elle est forte.
58:23Je vois Sissoko qui se raccroche à cette dernière corde du ring comme un fil auquel on se raccroche.
58:31Et c'est son destin.
58:32Souleymane, voilĂ , il y avait de l'absence.
58:35Un an et demi sans boxer, c'est une éternité pour un athlète de haut niveau.
58:38Il y a eu des petites erreurs face Ă  un combattant de ce niveau.
58:43C'est-à-dire que dans sa carrière, il n'avait jamais approché un adversaire de ce calibre.
58:49Il a commis deux erreurs.
58:51Deux fois, il a été compté.
58:52Et deux fois, il a été capable de mettre en place sa boxe.
58:57Ce sont des erreurs de vigilance.
58:59Il y a eu des failles dans sa défense.
59:01Quand vous prenez un coup, c'est que manifestement,
59:03l'IS, vous avez manqué de vigilance.
59:06Et vous avez été déjoué par l'adversaire.
59:09Donc, franchement, revenir comme il l'a fait après avoir été compté de cette manière,
59:17quand on le voit comme ça, presque tombé hors du ring...
