Best Boxing Knockouts & Highlights | October 2025 | Weekly #4

I do see a flaw in Juarez is when he throws his jab, that's exactly what I was going to say, that's exactly what I was going to say, that straight right hand, that's exactly what I was going to say. I just said that, I did not say it by accident. He's hurt, he's really hurt. I didn't say box, box. All that, right down to the very shot. Because that was like Nostradamus right there from you. But how about Leighton? Oh, that didn't get Leighton too. How do you score this round? This is why they box, my friend. Oh, man. Juarez is back. And another one. And he's down again. Folks are holding him up. Juarez is now shaking his head like, yeah, I got this. Leighton hanging on for dear life. This is one of the craziest rounds I've seen in a very long time. Defying all the odds, it somehow has made it. That's a punch behind the head. To the end. Down he goes. Guys, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that was round of the year. A potential fight of the year. 4-5 knockdowns. Juarez down early. Leighton down twice, three times. I want to make sure Juarez knows where he is. Then Juarez wasn't just down, he was out of the fight. He did not know where he was. He landed one counter-hook and suddenly he snapped into focus. And Leighton faded out. I've never seen anything like that. Have you ever seen anything like that? No, not in the first round. What was that? Wow, what was that exactly? He turned around. He got stunned. Dude, this is a night where our prospects are getting tested here. Jesus, Scott. Gutierrez knows it. How much time is the first? Gutierrez knowing his opportunity drives him down. And they're calling that a slip. Trying to get a look into the eyes of Chub Chub. He seems eyes and legs right now. He's looking at him like, bro, he's holding me. Downstairs, upstairs, Gutierrez in big trouble. Dude, this somehow, somehow makes it to the end of the round. Well, what are we doing here? I understand we're at the last round and Gutierrez is... Fighters will never say it. They're gonna get the good stuff. Jesus, stop the fight. Needs to be stopped now. That's the classic referee. That was an unnecessary round. An unnecessary shot that Gutierrez took after a great performance. That was unnecessary. I mean, I hate to take away from... Another knockout that will go viral for Chub Chub. I hate to take away from Chub Chub's performance. That was a great win, but... Lost to Jacob Gomez in June. And before that, he stopped Brian Chivato. Timekeeper lets us know it's 10 seconds to go in the opening round. Looking for the good action back and forth between Cortez and... To be off for an extended period of time. And Cortez looks like he... The Dominican, this is style. He'll get rough with you. He'll be sleek with you. He'll give you a lot of different looks. ...content and staying very close as he lands a really good low blow. Just a little bit fatigued. And that was a really good left hook downstairs by Cortez. And I like that. Another body shot. The right hand from Cortez. Body shot from Cortez. I'm liking the body work from Cortez, Mike. Her left hook. But Cortez is seeing that coming a mile away. Good right hand from Cortez. Stuns the Dominican. But he keeps on coming. Man, Derlin is tough. With his left pep to the body and left hook to the head. That he's really looking for. And he really stunned him right there. There it is. Lands an uppercut. There's another right shot. Big right hand from Cortez. And that's what you want to do to start the evening out. You want to do that in spectacular fashion. And that's what he did. And hats off to the referee because Thomas Taylor... Ladies and gentlemen, it's the Dominican Republic... Just bear that out. It's the fight game. And as he goes to the body right there. And as you can see... Watch out for unknown. TBA is another somebody that's really, really good. The one thing Elvis does when he goes backwards that a lot of guys don't do. A lot of guys get really big. They make themselves a tease when he goes back. So his legs and his head are always... His legs are always underneath him. And he caught... He landed a little sneaky body shot. Uppercuts. Two of them by the Dominican. As the Mexican is in the corner. He's now against the ropes. And he gets stunned. His knees buckle. And Ranita against the rope is in trouble. Ten seconds to go in round number two. Excellent finish for Elvis Rodriguez. And he dropped Alejandro Friegas. That was an excellent finish. Seven. Eight. A second round kill for Elvis Rodriguez. He came out here. He definitely is on the fringes of being a world-class guy. Perla Basadula, the 20-year-old, trained by Manny Robles. Good up... There's shots landed by Otar. Because you get paid by your country to represent them. And he lands a good body shot. Level trainers. They're going to teach you those things. The Freddy Roches. The Robert Garcias. The Manny Robleses type guys. That's a good body shot landed by Dominguez on the left side of Otar. A good exchange by both guys right there. And Otar has him right there. I think he likes having Dominguez on the ropes. And he lands upstairs, does Dominguez. Absolutely. Enough to worry about in the ring. Good body shot. Very good body shot by both guys. Left hook to the body as they exchange him. Well, you were mentioning he's an older fighter. He's an older prospect, right? Body. And know that he's a very well-conditioned guy. His body has been probably in good condition since he was 13 years old. Oh! Big drops in. Big shot from Otar. And Dominguez was stunned. He went down hard. And he's still wobbly. And the corner has stopped it. The corner of Emmanuel Dominguez has seen enough. They saw their fighter was wobbly. They jumped onto the canvas and said, No, we don't want to see anything else. Chop Chop is on the brink of something big if he can get past Leonardo Baez. The Lion, El Leon Baez. And we're saying that Chop Chop didn't have the amateur background because he wasn't really training for it. So they really didn't take him to the tournaments. But once he turned... Maidana, Maiki. Good strap back and forth. Good right hand. Really fought under the biggest of stages yet. But this is a big stage for him. Half these people in here, as you can hear him yell Chop Chop. Mayo Baez is a warrior. He's been in anime territory before. He's usually the B-side guy. He's not intimidated by crowd noise. He's going to end up catching Baez really clean with a short shot. Good uppercut by Chop Chop. Another good uppercut. You know he's watching. I know they're watching. Senior watches everything. Yes, yes. Good people. Overhand right from Leon. Partially blocked. Goes to the body as Chop Chop against the ropes. He is trying to close the round strong. Gonzalez counters. Blood flying. Sweat flying. Crowd on their feet. Heck of a fight so far here at London Studios in Long Beach. Wow. That was some excellent countering work by Chop Chop. The layperson may look that Baez was the aggressor. Chop Chop was. You know what? He's being really, really strong. That's his style. That's what he always does. And once a fight, he gets warned. It's Chop Chop trying to land the uppercut. He's making Baez do a lot of swing and miss in there. Is there any concern in the corner of Baez Lindsey? And we'll get to Lindsey. And Baez shot, but it was ruled a knockdown. Difficult. I'm not saying he's not going to land. But watch. Look at Chop Chop's defense. And that's just from days and months and years of good work by his trainers. He's putting on a clinic right now. Baez has really slowed down. Breathing heavy. Mouth open. Nose leaking. And it's all Chop Chop. Gonzalez threw four rounds. Baez went down to the fourth. Not from a big shot, but he did go down. And here he comes out aggressive. This is not a smart move for him. I've seen him do this a couple of times. And then he starts to counter. And he just cannot miss with that right uppercut to the body and head. There's that right hand from Gonzalez. Stunning Baez. He wore that shot, but now the body shot from Gonzalez. He's throwing. Countering off the ropes nicely is Gonzalez. Setting him up. And he's going to look to step over and turn him. Just like he did right there. I like it when they make me look good. Several days a week. Now he's working the right side of that body with his right hand. Uppercuts again. Ending up the uppercut with less than a minute to go. And round number five is Gonzalez. There it is again. He's finding a home with that jab of the body. And it's setting up a lot of good things. And basically what he's done, Baez is now desperate. And I think a doctor or the ref is going to take a look at him in between rounds. Or at least I would. And I got a feeling the doctor is just right on cue. Corner of Baez has stopped it. And that's it. The corner of Baez has said we have seen enough. And Chop Chop looks fantastic tonight. Absolutely. Absolutely. It's like when Kyrgiz Jinn entered the ring. The body worked a little. It worked! It went in a little. And it's the corner of his debut match. How should I put it? The expression on his face. That's what he's showing. It's easy to understand. Two. One more time. It's a matter of time. Right straight. The left jab. Counter right. It was dangerous after he collapsed. He hit hard at the bottom. I think he can take it now. Salad knockout. It's slow to get hit properly. But the way he collapsed. The way he collapsed. It's not judo. But it's like he can't take it. It's a rare way to collapse. He hit it. And the right jab. It's dangerous. He's more on his feet. Alejandro Ortiz. It's a dramatic knockout. He won't come back. Alejandro Ortiz. It's dangerous. What a dramatic knockout. We saw it. It's interesting. We saw Bacary celebrating his knockout. And we saw Issa coming to frame him. To warn him. It's important. Down and up. Be careful. He hit him in the nape. I want to say he has a rival that is helping him to shine. Good combination by Cheva. And a tremendous left hand. He puts him out of combat. They're applying it to him. There. To Enrique Ibañuelos. It's good. The impact was brutal. By Chema Ocampo. And there they come. The assists. To see if he's in good condition. Let's see. Chema Ocampo. He looks scared. Look at him. The impact was brutal. Yes. Stop. That's a lot of thunder. A lot of lightning behind those shots by Ballesteros. Look at that power punch. He's connecting once again with that one-two combination. And Ballesteros leading off once again with Ocampos fighting back though. Ocampos with a nice right hand shot to the body. Ocampos putting his head on the chest of Ballesteros to take away Ballesteros' punching room. 30 seconds here in round number one. Ballesteros here we go. Stop. From the U.S. Look at Ocampos. Connecting that time with Ballesteros. And we did see Ocampos does have some power as well. But Ballesteros isn't fighting back. He's looking to get some kind of rhythm here. Wow, this is turning into a brutal slugfest. Ballesteros going with the right. Ballesteros being a knockout artist. He doesn't look fazed. He's going straight at it. And he's looking for the big punch of his own. And he got hit once more. Trying to go to the body there as Acope. It's a battle of two big punchers. Acope continues to go to the body here. That right hand to the body. That's his weapon of choice. Attack from Acope. Look at Acope scoring with an overhand right. Now he's going headhunting. And now back to the body. Ballesteros trying to bully his way to score. Look at those big punches. Ballesteros scored with the right hand. Yes he did. Acope was staggered with that right hand. He's down. And he's on weary legs. What a punch coming from Ballesteros. He was just picking his spot, Kenito. Here comes Ballesteros once more. Acope's ready to go. One shot and this will be over. Going for the one-two combination. Missing with those. That's giving Acope a chance to recover here, Kenito. Look at Ballesteros again connecting with a big shot. And that's the end of the round. Acope's still connecting. And wait a minute. He doesn't realize that the round is over. And Ballesteros just walking away. A big right once again. Respect for Acope as he comes charging in. But you know Ballesteros has to be... Oh wait a minute. I think that's a severe warning. This is not MMA. Seeking refuge along the ropes. Gets tagged once again with the right. And a one-two combination. Acope's not fighting. I thought he wasn't going to fight back but he's still fighting back. Acope got tagged once again. Round number three. Gets rocked by a big left. And another late punch from Acope. That's the second time that he's done that. Acope with a good start to the round here. That combination. Acope scoring with the left. One of the few times he's been able to connect here. A shot to the body there by Ballesteros. Round number four. Acope hasn't really thrown too much here. Looks like the punches of Acope not really telling blows anymore. Short punches this time from Ballesteros. All of them connecting. Shots to the body here by Ballesteros. He left off in round number four. Hardly thrown any leather. Acope was down in round number two. That's it. It might be over. It doesn't look like he's getting up. Once in round number two. And another knockdown score by Ballesteros in this round. This guy is going places. That power is just fantastic. I think he needs to work on his defense a little bit more. Seven times in Japan. Five times. 50th anniversary. Tapales wanted to be able to come up with a big win here in front of his home crowd. 21 knockouts and 40 wins is what Tapales brings to the table. Toro and Dante. What a combination coming from Tapales. Absorbs a big left. Toro's got a chin. That certainly caught his attention. The cobwebs there. Gets tagged once again. That's dangerous for Toro because he's engaging him face to face. But Toro, look at it. Big punch there coming for Toro. Toro doesn't want to be a standing guard. Tapales, he just keeps throwing that right jab. He's not throwing that jab enough. Throw that right jab, set up the left. Fend him off with the right jab and then throw that left. That's another solid left. Absorbed here by Toro. That's the point that I was making. To make Toro anticipate the right. There's always been a slim portion. It's that right there. Just missing there was Tapales. He connects with a jab. And he connects there with a right. Tapales good defense. Working for him. His last fight was in the summer of 2014. Tapales is now trying to chase Toro down. Side to side movement by Toro. He's trying to use his quickness. To break all of that movement. Tapales is just too strong. Though he misses twice that time. And he connects with a right. And some big shot being thrown and connected by Pablo Tapales. A left hand that time as he was coming in. Round number 5 coming to an end here. And continue to come forward. Almost impregnable. He actually allowed as much as 5 minutes to recover from a foul blow. This nightmare combination.
