Adrien Broner (USA) vs Jovanie Santiago (Puerto Rico) | BOXING fight, HD
HIGHLIGHTS
24 K.O. successes. What is going through his head now?
He has taken the mouth very full.
But maybe he is more nervous than you thought.
He actually said yes to an interview before.
Then he cancelled it briefly.
So now he is more going through his head than he wants to admit.
What a backdrop.
And what a great chance for him to become the first Mexican heavyweight world champion.
The number one in the ranking of the World Boxing Council.
Mike Tyson is also looking forward to the duel.
We have already heard that.
He can celebrate. He has to suck it up.
You can see the sweat on his forehead.
That is important because he wants to start right away.
Because he does not want to be caught cold against Vitaly Klitschko.
Who will of course operate this fight.
He will try to find the distance at the beginning.
And not let him get close at all.
The challenger, the nightmare.
Nightmare, areola.
And now we are waiting for the fully concentrated world champion.
In the background of the World Boxing Council.
Psycho. Of course it is also about the psycho games.
But Vitaly Klitschko can get out of the concept.
Michael Buffer.
World Boxing Council Heavyweight Championship of the World.
Sponsored by Viva Mexico.
It's time to go.
Attention by the WBC President Jose Suleman.
And the California State Athletic Commission Chairman Tim Noonan.
At ringside, the three judges scoring this bout on the ten point system.
From Italy, Guido Cavalieri.
From Thailand, Anek Hamtankar.
And from Japan, Ken Morita.
And inside the ring, the man in charge of the action at the bell.
Veteran World Championship referee, John Shirley.
And now for the thousands in attendance.
Here at Staples Center, Los Angeles, California.
May the best man be victorious.
Ladies and gentlemen.
27 victories including 24 knockouts.
36 knockouts and only two defeats.
The victory ratio is the greatest in heavyweight champions history.
From Kiev, Ukraine and Hamburg, Germany.
The reigning, defending, two-time WBC heavyweight champion of the world.
So, some booing.
But in the end, the deserved applause for the world champion, Vitaly Klitschko.
Who is the 6-1 favorite in this duel.
So, more than clear.
Referee John Shirley, 48 years old.
Okay, Mr. Klitschko, Mr. Areola.
This fight is for the WBC heavyweight championship of the world.
It will be a good, clean fight.
Obey my commands and protect yourselves at all times.
Hey, Vitaly Klitschko!
He is not allowed to go close.
That is tempting, of course.
Up there, the head is totally free.
There you could hit him.
Attempt to body.
And nice, this left.
A mix of a hook from the upper and a hook from the side.
Nicely hit again on the chin angle.
And at the beginning, of course, without much force.
To prepare the right.
He tries to wipe away the cover from Arreola.
Good pace.
Here comes the left.
The left from Klitschko hits well.
She hits precisely.
And she manages to keep Arreola standing outside.
So what he had in mind, he couldn't implement at all so far.
Nicely dodged by Vitaly Klitschko.
Good first round.
The second round.
The world championship in heavyweight, WBC version.
World Boxing Council for Vitaly Klitschko.
The second nightmare against which he got into the ring.
The first Samuel Pieter also called himself Nightmare Albtraum.
And that went more than well.
Klitschko became world champion again.
Swallowed him in the eighth round.
And here now the next boxer with the nickname.
And good hit.
Brings down the left, brings down the right.
These are the moments that Arreola has to use.
Where he wants to make more of it.
When he is close to Vitaly Klitschko.
Then the combination to hit the body.
Try to make Vitaly Klitschko tired.
To hope that the 38-year-old body will not withstand the burden.
If it goes over the long distance.
Vitaly does it well.
He does not just go to the back.
He moves well to the side.
And there you have already seen it.
Arreola had to look.
Where is this Klitschko actually?
How many of these hits can he put away?
Cristobal Arreola.
Right.
Klitschko at the moment light-footed.
Very mobile.
So he has to take at least one or two hits.
Arreola to get there.
To have the opportunity at all.
To be able to score an own goal.
But hopefully enough.
Let them spread again.
A little desperate.
What Arreola is trying.
This right.
Only pushed.
There was no power behind it.
Arreola, if you want to say that.
That was a good hit.
But I can easily put them away.
But what does he already take in the second round?
The last seconds.
Again, of course, a Klitschko round.
So keep the cover up,
Henry Ramirez says
to the address of his boxer
Cristobal Arreola.
You have to keep the cover closed.
You get too many hits.
And Fritz Dunek in the corner of
Vitaly Klitschko more than satisfied.
You have to be careful with Arreola.
And you have to be careful with Klitschko.
How to hit better.
These are the differences in this duel.
With the announcement of this right.
What Arreola had announced.
He wanted to make himself smaller.
But he gets too many hits.
It's so hard to hit Vitaly Klitschko
cleanly on the head.
Vitaly goes a lot to the left.
He has difficulties to get the right
cleanly into the target.
It's about time.
It's the match over.
They have 66 fights.
Klitschko still with the precision.
He has a bit of the speed.
He has a good left hook, Arreola has a good right if he can hit it, which comes through nicely and often as a cross.
And the right eye of Arreola, taken with him.
Small cut injury, but above all an ever-increasing swelling.
There was a lot of talk about it.
Where the left, Klitschko's forehand, hits again and again.
He's standing there, excitingly, without cover.
Vitali Klitschko.
The forehand came through from Arreola.
He's a little better at it.
Cristobal Arreola has managed to shorten the long distance a bit.
One more minute in this fourth round.
He's standing there on the rope, trying to get the strokes out.
Good, nicely hit again.
He's a master.
Vitali Klitschko hits a lot, hits often, hits precisely.
It's not one hit that ends the fight, but the variety of hits over the rounds.
Good body hit from Arreola.
He goes where it really hurts.
Cristobal Arreola, best round of Arreola so far.
... and uses the seconds to rest a little before the fifth round.
Klitschko comes through with the forehand again.
What else can he try?
And how long can he go through?
Can he really do it?
12 rounds, to put these strokes away.
And to hope that Vitali Klitschko makes mistakes.
Especially when the right one comes through like that.
What a good hit.
But Arreola puts it away.
That's the Mexican way of fighting.
This muchismo, not giving up.
Losing would be allowed, but not without giving everything.
And dodging is considered a sign of weakness.
And you can see that here too.
Arreola embodies exactly this fighting style.
Nice to get back to Klitschko's body, who is trying to hold here.
But Arreola keeps hitting.
A recommendation from John Shawley, the referee.
Overall, you can hold little, little.
Good pace as before.
And good actions here in the corner of both.
Again this right one, which is kicked in from the outside by Klitschko.
And when the gloves hang so low,
then of course you can also see the strokes not coming so well as Cesar Arreola.
Runs back into the strokes, but he just marches through there.
And that certainly frustrates Vitali Klitschko,
when you see that the opponent takes all these strokes,
puts them all away and then even has the courage to nod his head and say,
yes, it wasn't bad, keep going like that.
A huge fighter's heart with Cristobal Arreola.
Good try with the right uppercut and the right again.
Significantly more hits from Klitschko.
Again his rounds.
Very good for him on the points.
Keep going like that, says the corner of Arreola.
And he once said in between, oh man, he hits really hard.
And he also hits fast.
Here you can see it again, this long right combination,
the right only on the ear, no effect behind it.
The sixth round.
According to points so far, a clear thing in favor of Vitali Klitschko.
The number one at the World Boxing Council,
but also in the other rankings of the world associations, Arreola is at the top.
A fighter who always offers very entertaining fights,
which is why he has become popular.
And he shows why.
He can put a lot away, he marches further forward.
But it can be seen from the boxing technique, from the class,
a clear difference.
He does it here with the fighter's heart.
Pushes himself forward again.
Vitali Klitschko seems very robust.
He has the highest weight in his professional career, 114.3 kilograms.
So another 600 grams more than his previous highest weight.
He also has muscles packed on it, at least it seems to him.
And that, of course, because he really thought,
in the clinch you can definitely use a few more muscles.
And it's going well for the world champion.
Good action from Arreola.
He has seen, there is the gap and there is the chance.
And he tries to use it immediately.
Klitschko does it well.
In between, again and again to the body.
Also pulls the cover of Arreola down,
so that it is easier for him afterwards,
if he wants to get through to the head.
In normal life, as Cristobal Arreola says,
I often come too late.
He doesn't necessarily belong to my strengths.
And the missing timing,
that is also here so far for him.
Always earlier in the goal,
and always one more hand in it from Vitaly Klitschko.
Here again, well to the body.
Nice, the right one again.
He knows exactly where the head is going to go by Arreola.
Hard hit again.
Problems on the lip with Vitaly Klitschko.
In the corner of Cristobal Arreola,
you have the swellings.
They didn't get worse.
And here, from the world champion in the background,
Vladimir Klitschko.
Not only right, up, forward.
Tristunek, also the left one.
Question from Vitaly.
Tempo, is that okay, son?
Yes, it is.
Says Tristunek.
Keep going.
He knows exactly how much he has in the tank,
Vitaly Klitschko.
How many breaks does he need, maybe?
How much rest time?
How many hits?
Just don't overdo it.
That would of course also be a big mistake that can be made.
It's about the number of hits.
But of course it's also about the number of better hits,
the more precise hits.
Who determines the fight?
Who does more here?
And so far, you have to say,
Vitaly Klitschko again.
Also these hits again, which of course count.
Nice, back to the body.
And again and again the right of Klitschko
hits the massive body of Areola.
Maybe the hip gold helps him a little,
so that he doesn't feel it so much.
Where Klitschko has muscles, Areola has tattoos.
And he definitely wants to get one more in front,
whether the breast is a world champion.
He shows his fighter's heart.
But he plays a bit of the boxing lottery,
the hope that the opponent makes the mistake
and that then exactly this one blow comes through,
which may, as they always say in heavyweight,
can change everything at once and decide the fight.
And they also have the opportunity
to take part in our draw, of course.
More information about this on the text page 299.
Whenever he goes around to the left, Vitaly Klitschko,
then, of course, the power in the right is missing.
Warning to Areola not to hit in the back, not in the kidneys.
But there Klitschko also turned away.
That was not the intention of Areola.
Areola blinks briefly and shows effect.
Always shakes out his left.
The last seconds of a 7th round,
which again goes to Vitaly Klitschko.
Better hit, clean hit, clearer hit.
An intense fight.
Vladimir gets applause.
Slight dizziness over the eyes.
He doesn't always try to hit directly on the chin.
There is the danger that you pass by much higher.
He always tries to hit the chest.
Then you hit somewhere.
Yes, nice.
The left and then the right.
Full.
And there are many others,
also world's strongest boxers, who fall over at that moment.
Cristobal Areola remains standing.
And he comes into the 8th round.
So far all rounds to Vitaly Klitschko.
You can see it again, he's going after it,
but there are no blows from Areola.
Not at the beginning when he goes in.
He would have to deal with Klitschko more
if he wants to have a chance.
So Vitaly can look at it calmly
and wait to see which blow he wants to choose to counter.
He tries, he pushes himself,
and the audience is immediately behind him,
behind Cristobal Areola.
Meanwhile, there is already a bit of courage of despair.
Yes, no blows come through.
It even becomes a bit helpless,
how he goes after it.
He gets tired here.
At the moment you have to have the impression
that Areola comes here more.
To the body, then the left hook from Areola.
This is the dangerous distance,
because then Klitschko is very open
and theoretically something could happen there.
In the confusion.
It would be possible for Areola
to bring his footed combinations to the goal.
Nosebleeds at Areola.
Be careful not to collide with the heads there.
Areola immediately apologized.
But nosebleeds, that means, of course,
he will have difficulties.
To breathe further through the nose.
He has to open his mouth.
As a result, worse things can happen.
Because if you get caught in the chin,
the impact is even higher.
John Shawley is already in the corner.
The ring doctor is called in.
And now the time is stopped here in the break.
Because the ring doctor is looking at
what happened to the nose of Areola.
Is it broken?
The doctor says no problem.
This can go on.
You have to hit the right in the head.
It doesn't make sense to you
if you hold back the blows.
It's going very well for the world champion.
The 9th round.
For the first time in the life of Chris Areola,
he has to go into a 9th round.
That certainly doesn't make it easy for him.
So far all rounds for Klitschko.
What will Areola try now?
He knows, after points he is clearly behind.
He wants to take down the right.
But Klitschko does it skillfully.
He puts the left out nicely
and intercepts the blow from Areola.
He has already directed it directly in the arm,
at the elbow.
The right one comes through.
What can this Cristobal Areola put away?
And the left.
Good work also from the ring judge,
who has little to do,
because both work very fair.
Because both don't hold, don't clamp.
Matador Vitali Klitschko
is waiting for the approaching Areola,
brings the right one back to the goal.
Danger if Klitschko stands still,
because he thinks,
now I'll take him and hold him.
And if he doesn't make it,
then it would be better to go back,
to make the distance long again.
Good hit.
Where does Cristobal Areola take this ability?
What does he put away here?
So the hearts of the Mexican boxing fans
he has already conquered.
Cristobal Areola.
Nice.
Again and again the left.
This is the operation.
Klitschko like a surgeon.
He hits the right hits very clearly, very loosely.
The ring judge goes in the middle of the corner
and asked him briefly,
do you want to continue?
Many hard hits.
More and more Klitschko calls here in the Staples Center.
It's almost like at the Cup against Lennox Lewis,
where he was booed at the beginning
and then in the end he was celebrated
when he left the hall again.
Mexican boxing fans have to admit
that he hits better here.
Look at this hit.
Nice study.
And here too.
You can vividly imagine how it hurts.
Great performance by Vitaly Klitschko so far.
He is clearly the boss in the ring here.
No question at all.
He is a big fan of video games,
Cristobal Areola,
and has done this often enough with his coach.
There was a little bet
who wins more football games on television.
He can choose
how many percent of the stock market
is paid out to him in the end.
So no longer 10%,
which Henry Ramirez, the head coach,
now gets, but 3.10.
He has played himself up there.
He is looking for the challenge, Areola.
Also in training
and also outside the boxing ring.
But here the challenge is
Vitaly Klitschko one number too big.
He is looking for the opportunity
to get the right clean to the target.
There was this one attempt again,
which goes by.
It is difficult in the reverse course
to get such hits to the target.
It is difficult in the sideways movement
to get power behind the right.
The right comes through well
in the second attempt.
With the first blow,
it often gets stuck in the cover
and does not hit as cleanly
as Vitaly Klitschko
certainly imagined.
The record of Timo Hoffmann is shaking,
who so far often claims
to be the only man
who has gone over time with Klitschko.
Back in November 2000
around the European Championship.
Good hit again.
The short right again.
15 seconds left in this round.
Vladimir Klitschko
jumps up more and more
and says, do a little more.
One or two more hits in this situation.
That's what the little brother wants.
You have to think about
what you do in the corner
and what you do in the middle.
You break the fight.
Too many hits, too many hard blows,
too bad injuries
for Chris Areola.
He is taken out of the fight here.
John Schorle says
enough has happened.
The ring doctor is with him.
Preliminary victory
for Vitaly Klitschko.
He immediately gives the
fair hug.
And now he is still crying.
Chris Areola
has taken so much
so many hits.
He went through the fire.
He tried a lot.
But he can still be proud of himself.
But how did Vitaly Klitschko
box that out again?
With what precision
that you sometimes wouldn't even trust
the man you used to call
a boxing robot.
A great performance.
And the
record remains intact.
Another preliminary victory
for Vitaly Klitschko.
He crushes his opponents.
He hits often, he hits hard.
But all these hits
can't be hidden away.
It was his 40th professional fight.
He is successfully absorbed.
The 10th World Cup fight as well.
The name of
Christobal Areola.
She is of course sad.
She would have liked to see her dad
bring the award home.
But he is still young.
He is 28 years old.
Chris Areola can
definitely come back.
He made a great performance here.
He landed 86 hits.
301 hits
from Vitaly Klitschko.
A madness.
The hearts of
Mexican boxing fans
belong to Areola.
And Vitaly Klitschko proved
that there is a two-class society
in the heavyweight division.
The first class is occupied
by Klitschko.
And the rest is the second class.
As hard-trained
as ever.
That's what Areola said.
You have to say that.
It was a World Cup fight.
That's part of it.
The official judgment
of Michael M. Buffer.
The iron fist has struck again.
That was the Klitschko shuffle
we just saw.
The winner after the 10th round.
Vitaly Klitschko.
We continue in the studio
with interesting guests.
