AAR venian and lolito Sona what do we look for early in this fight Jess would just know they're they are absolutely going to come towards each other come on the attack be aggressive they both are known as aggressive Fighters and it's all about who's who has the better game plan tonight ready ready keep in mind that assat is known as the more pressured fighter and also the more power punch is thrown by him the start of round number one as hovan 15 and three 12 knockouts Sona loves to have this his defense High where he's blocking most of the punches and coming back right after the combination from his opponent just like he did now venan Dives with that jab trying to size up a right again on the attack henan right after Sona aggressive beginning for aat henia and not only that he actually stunned him right now with that big right hand that he threw son didn't like that shot and now he's coming back with his own nice combination there from H son's had to cover up early SOA had no problem making the weight just as he's normally used to accustomed to fighting at a heavier weight division so thanks to that he had no problem making this only had 3 weeks notice for this fight as he is jumping up in weight class a better power puncher for sh as he covers up there nice combination up top now one to the body but perhaps a little low there and Eddie Hernandez senior telling isan to get it up yeah he has to pick him up but right before that low blow he actually landed a perfect uppercut right to the chin which actually didn't he didn't receive it well from Sona is fing the punches I can tell right away he's not liking it just like he did right hand overi and again attacks up top with the right hand strong aggressive beginning for aan venan who got that right uppercut in there that time and so Sona now is changing his tactic now he's putting in a little bit more pressure as I thought he would from the get-go from the very beginning of the round unfortunately he was boxing moving around in the beginning now he saw it did not work and now he is trying to be a little more aggressive than he was earlier zov venan has controlled this opening round first fight of a busy night of boxing here in indiaa Ducks out of the way and now henian covers up that's terrific right hand just now with the double right hand L that was a definite L and now as Sona hits the deck afterwards Eddie Hernandez senior you okay going to stop things for a moment second one of this first round from Azad hovanesian let me know when you're ready to go here's a replay of the low blow quite obvious that it was pretty low they will give Sona a couple minutes if he needs it and also taking a low blow an one point low blow keep him up okay KN the point in this first round after a warning a round that he could have been winning now automatically he loses the round because of that deduction of the point stop at the B stop at the B the round nice right hand then a left counter from Sona an aggressive finish to the first round from these two fighters and lolito sonsa Sona trying to land that let him up let him up keep your head up okay let's go Box's reminded to keep his head up so Sona also realized that he doesn't have the power to hurt assat in in the first round so now he's going to try and move around a little bit and try to outbox him with the high defense High guard that he has now just like he's doing Shadow trying to pick his big BS and moving out of the Wayan moving forward blocked that shot to the body from Sona oian sets up the right hand again son covering up he punches up keep punches up try look for theow he try look for the open he's looking he's looking observing observing and then he takes a shot just like he did right now but is ready to fight right back we're in a fight out it guys stop step back step back fun beginning watch the heads watch the heads AC afternoon and evening in California aat really has to be careful with the shots that he throws to the body because some of them might go little low be counter at low B sets up the right hand to the body against some Sona overian again diving a little low with that left goes up st stop stop don't hold his head down don't hold his head down and H okay being reminded not to hold the head of [Music] sonsa son seems a little confused like he can't get the timing down he can't get osat timing down coming in and he's having a little trouble with his defense because it's not working punches are coming in even though he has high guard up still getting hits they're getting hit he need to find a way out of it he need to find a way to come back with just like he did right now but the better of it is being landed by ass and nice combination from hobia son's had to be on the defensive for much of these first two rounds thus far again kovi and the aggressor to dve the left there unfortunately the problem here for S is that the punches that Landing aren't making any effect on assat unfortunately and that is the reason why assat continues to push forward continue moving with the power shots with that aggressive style doesn't seem like have anything to really Counterattack oh just landed right as I said that right there from Sona work out of it guys work out of it but thus faran has been exactly right again going to the body that time with the right left combination the docked for a low blow in the first round going to have to be careful make sure none of those shots go low because another point is going to help metal over here got time give me the towel give me the towel give me the towel timeout called by Eddie Hernandez Senor to wipe up the canvas Jesse you know what it's like to trained at wild card with Freddy roach know aat is trained by Freddy Road well Sona spent some time there as well what's the atmosphere like at Wild Card well the atmosphere you have several Champions training there so it automatically that UPS your game because gives you more confidence and also you have great work there you have great drawing just because roach has so many fighs work out there that always out it guys work out of it work out let him go not only that number one priority have Freddy roach who is a terrific trainer he teaches great techniques able to perfect your style whether it's aggressive counter Punch or just an allout boxer well what I mean by that is just a fighter that likes to be on the retreat moving he understands the sport very well and I'm guessing that that's a big benefit for assat havian right now in this fight that's why he's up on the scorecards unofficial of course seems that way the Jessie Vargas scard yes there you go keep got it guys hands are free hands are point which that affected him severely oian nuding in pushing against the ROP Tres to set up the right left goes to the body with the left hand now gets up top trying to set up that right hand up top multiple times to find his counter what ass actually Tred to attack to the body in the beginning round it's still early on in the fight but you can tell it was very obvious down with the body shot now he's trying to move it on up trying to land for those big Power shots up to the head maybe try stopping this fight early that's probably what he's trying to do which is a great tactic forian itching forward again as Jesse talked about now attacking a little bit more up top boxing that's a great game line you you slow him down a little with the body shot you Tire him down cuz it does take a lot out of you when they scor big body shots on you and now he's trying to take it up top that the big shots to the head and trying to finish this fight early is not giving up he's still in the fight he's still looking for his most effective blows as well big hook big right hand he has for with a left hand that time trying to look for the big [Music] blow oan gets him up against the ROP trying to whip the left Sona covers up right hand landed both reminded to watch their heads as they nuzzle up this is what I was talking about they were going to crash and that's what they're doing now sooner or later it's happening here in the third round venan Dives out of the way and that will do it for round number three super Phantom weight right away Sona more aggressive beginning to the fourth he know he needs to come up with a different game plan in order for him to be up not working for what he's done the first three rounds four has to be different another do that unfortunately and again you on the side he's being told by Eddie Hernandez s come on they hit you on the side don't overact it Sona has his overand right denied by hovan hovan going to the body before setting up the right hand up [Music] top son has a lot to fight for he saw this fight as a great opportunity for him fighting under Golden Boy he's very happy with this opportunity he does have a wife back home and two children to feed and and this is this is his career this is how he provides for them that's why he takes on each and every that is to him says his b weapon in the ring is his high boxing IQ boxing in his family his father a coach his brother's box his cousin high level pros and again I'm not sure that was pretty darn low yeah that was low without a doubt uh actually was there you go this this is the replay of the low blows that we landed and it was not just one it was two and three shots that were low this might take another point away from aat unfortunately for him you got you got to quit hitting low okay all right ready you okay Jesse are you surprised that continues to have problems getting his punches up you know what he's just trying to look for an opening unfortunately for him his shots are coming in a little lower than he expects them to sometimes when you're that inside distance you know body to body trying to land those body shots sometimes take they should but this has just it's just more than once and I think he's exaggerated he needs to pay more attention to where his shots are being landed point the first round go let him goth nice exchange here with S missing with the left trying to come back with a right to the body now an uppercut right and these are all power shots coming from son nothing light nothing fast everything heavy and strong now he's not known as a power puncher Jesse yet that's what you seem to be looking for is that the right strategy for son it's not but that's just his style he's always been known it seems like he feels like he is a power puncher and that's just the way he fights uh maybe that's probably why he has these two defeats on his record you know that hurt him up against the ropes a wailing away as Sona covers up tries to F him off the back the back the back no punch let's keep in mind lolito sona's record is 22 wins two defeats four draws nine Kos obviously he is not knockout artist so he needs to be better his technique instead of fighting like a power punch exactly you fight like that if you're a Mike Tyson not if you're some [Applause] venian looking to set up his right terrific right hand by step back step back and that is the end of the fourth round start of the fifth round as we check in with B Durant talking about why Sona is going for the home run his Corner told him that he has to forget the boxing they said you're not going to win this fight so just load up and try to catch hovan I don't know if the strategy is going to work but that's what they told him to do just load up and hope for a h area what do you think of that strategy Jess it's not the best strategy but that's the way go with I mean they're working as a team he the reason why it's a bad strategy is because no matter how much he will fight as a power puncher and try to get the knockout the possibilities or probabilities of him getting it are extremely low he needs to learn how to outbox his opponent and make the judges believe in his itic believe in his technique that he wins the fight on nice right hand there com that landed swings wildly with the left overian sets up the combination up top attacking up Topia now backs up a bit to the body and back back ban and Sona are separated in Mayan challenge Ray Vargas the WBC super bantamweight title lost a bloody compe decision here he in the corner exchanging blows out of it guys work out of it and ran that was a extremely action-packed fight with Ray Vargas andan and now he's trying to put himself in the position to fight for yet another world title so far he's looking good he just needs to hand to the body that drops come to me you want to continue come to me you [Applause] okay they will continue but hovan smell blood and try and end it now goes right back to the body a double shot to the body from now top that right again for the second time in this fifth round he get up from this one he will that is it aad hovan ends it in the fifth round this is the first right hand to the body that takes him down to the floor as you can see takes him down to the canvas and shortly upcoming you'll see the second knockdown oh this is still the first this is still the first knockdown the terrific right hand to the body and this is the second knockdown here which was the same shot the right hand to the body you know he was already hurt from it in the first knockdown he just continued to capitalize looking for that same exact spot as you can see now he went two three four after it and took him down you good see henesian hunting and gentlem the end comes officially 2 minutes 23 seconds round number five referee Eddie ernandez reaches the count of 10 for your winner by way of knockout crazy a aad Foria [Applause] [Music]
