What makes it 01:13.972 --> 01:16.139 so special ? Well , I mean , these are 01:16.139 --> 01:17.694 really the best of the best 01:17.694 --> 01:19.583 representing their branch , their 01:19.583 --> 01:21.806 respective branch of the armed forces . 01:21.806 --> 01:23.861 Not only that , this is an olympic . 01:23.861 --> 01:25.917 Year 2000 and 12 in London .

We are ringside here at Page 01:32.417 --> 01:34.139 field house and Camp Pendleton 01:34.139 --> 01:36.860 California coming up our first about 01:36.870 --> 01:40.700 the £123 weight class in this 01:40.700 --> 01:43.660 bout . Airman first class Kenny cruz of 01:43.660 --> 01:45.860 the United States Air Force faces off 01:45.860 --> 01:48.330 against corporal . Hey Suze Toro of the 01:48.330 --> 01:50.380 United States Marine Corps and this 01:50.380 --> 01:53.940 preliminary bout in the £123 weight 01:53.940 --> 01:56.850 class Kenny Cruise hails from Puerto 01:56.850 --> 01:59.380 rico he once fought the Puerto Rican 01:59.380 --> 02:01.450 national champion , but that doesn't 02:01.450 --> 02:03.580 matter now . We caught up to Kenny 02:03.580 --> 02:05.802 cruise earlier . Let's hear what he had 02:05.802 --> 02:07.969 to say going into this fight . I don't 02:07.969 --> 02:10.136 try to emulate anybody . I just like I 02:10.136 --> 02:12.302 have my favorite fighters and I try to 02:12.302 --> 02:14.136 get their strength out , get the 02:14.136 --> 02:16.580 strength out of each one and just try 02:16.580 --> 02:19.420 to create my own style . But I really , 02:19.770 --> 02:22.790 I really emulate Floyd Mayweather . Try 02:22.790 --> 02:25.730 to emulate him at least . He's an 02:25.740 --> 02:28.720 inspiration to me . His opponent , 02:28.730 --> 02:31.460 jesus toro from Camp Pendleton 02:31.460 --> 02:33.930 California . He's got 2.5 years of 02:33.930 --> 02:36.350 boxing experience behind him . Let's 02:36.350 --> 02:38.572 hear what he had to say going into this 02:38.572 --> 02:40.572 bout . Any boxer , They'll tell you 02:40.572 --> 02:43.020 that once you're in the ring , it's no 02:43.020 --> 02:45.187 nothing around you matters . It's just 02:45.187 --> 02:47.187 you and the guy in front of you , I 02:47.187 --> 02:49.131 would say my favorite boxer , like 02:49.131 --> 02:51.020 professional boxer is juan Manuel 02:51.020 --> 02:53.242 marquez from Mexico Castle a lot on the 02:53.242 --> 02:55.409 line . What do you see in this about ? 02:55.409 --> 02:57.409 Well , you're dealing with a lot of 02:57.409 --> 02:59.631 experience versus not nearly as much as 02:59.631 --> 03:01.853 experience . 10 years for one of them . 03:01.853 --> 03:03.853 2.5 of the other . We'll see how it 03:03.853 --> 03:03.740 shows . All right . This fight's ready 03:03.740 --> 03:05.740 to get underway . Let's head to the 03:05.740 --> 03:06.740 ring . 03:09.540 --> 03:12.880 They do . 03:25.740 --> 03:28.650 Okay . And making his way to the blue 03:28.650 --> 03:32.580 corner representing the United 03:32.580 --> 03:35.660 States Marine Corps from Madera 03:35.670 --> 03:38.860 California . He's a helicopter mechanic 03:38.860 --> 03:40.950 assigned to Marine light attack 03:40.960 --> 03:43.460 helicopter squadron right here in your 03:43.460 --> 03:46.520 own backyard of camp Pendleton Weighing 03:46.520 --> 03:50.360 in at 123 lb . Let's 03:50.360 --> 03:54.090 hear it for corporal hey suze . 03:57.540 --> 04:01.370 Yeah , mm hmm . 04:05.940 --> 04:09.720 Okay . Mhm , let's get to the action . 04:09.720 --> 04:11.831 But first , a quick look at the rules 04:11.831 --> 04:14.440 in amateur boxing bouts are three 04:14.440 --> 04:16.496 minute rounds with a one minute rest 04:16.496 --> 04:18.620 period in between , judges will be 04:18.620 --> 04:21.330 using a computerized scoring system , 04:21.610 --> 04:23.832 blows are scored when the white part of 04:23.832 --> 04:26.110 the glove strikes the head or the body , 04:26.110 --> 04:28.054 the front part of the torso of the 04:28.054 --> 04:29.790 boxer between the head and the 04:29.790 --> 04:31.850 waistline . Now , three out of five 04:31.850 --> 04:34.410 judges must register a scoring blow 04:34.420 --> 04:37.260 within a one second window in order for 04:37.260 --> 04:39.670 it to count fouls may result in 04:39.670 --> 04:41.760 cautions , warnings or even 04:41.760 --> 04:43.920 disqualifications and the referee can 04:43.920 --> 04:46.810 stop about for injury , a dominant lead 04:46.820 --> 04:49.010 or whenever the referee thinks that 04:49.010 --> 04:51.820 safety might be a factor . Scoring has 04:51.820 --> 04:53.931 changed a little bit this year , will 04:53.931 --> 04:55.987 no longer be able to see the running 04:55.987 --> 04:58.098 score . The boxer scores will only be 04:58.098 --> 05:00.209 shared with the coaches at the end of 05:00.209 --> 05:02.376 the first two rounds . Now , the final 05:02.376 --> 05:04.431 score will be revealed at the end of 05:04.431 --> 05:06.653 the about . You can feel the excitement 05:06.653 --> 05:08.876 just getting started right at the gun , 05:08.876 --> 05:10.931 yep , these guys are ready . This is 05:10.931 --> 05:13.098 what they've been working hard for and 05:13.098 --> 05:15.098 they know they know what's at stake 05:15.098 --> 05:16.820 here . The armed Forces boxing 05:16.820 --> 05:18.920 Championships of the 2012 . 05:20.740 --> 05:22.629 They're getting their last minute 05:22.629 --> 05:24.684 instructions from our 3rd man in the 05:24.684 --> 05:26.950 ring , Joe Sanchez 05:29.040 --> 05:31.207 calls them to the center of the ring , 05:31.207 --> 05:33.429 they tapped the gloves and move back to 05:33.429 --> 05:36.590 the corners , Kenny Cruise 05:37.040 --> 05:38.651 boxing out of the red corner 05:38.651 --> 05:41.530 representing the Air force and boxing 05:41.530 --> 05:45.400 out of the blue corner shoes , Toro of 05:45.400 --> 05:47.260 the United States Marine Corps , 05:52.340 --> 05:54.507 third man in the ring will ensure that 05:54.507 --> 05:57.200 everything is ready to go . Before this 05:57.200 --> 05:58.470 bounce starts , 06:01.240 --> 06:04.760 We are underway 123 06:04.760 --> 06:08.120 lb clues 06:08.720 --> 06:12.470 in the red trunks . Toro 06:12.470 --> 06:14.590 trying to get off quickly here in the 06:14.590 --> 06:17.820 Marine Corps . Moving in on the attack 06:17.830 --> 06:20.960 to Kenny cruise . 06:24.240 --> 06:27.430 Toro moving 06:27.430 --> 06:31.340 aggressively , I think Castle at 06:31.350 --> 06:33.572 this point , Toro seems to be trying to 06:33.572 --> 06:35.950 find a rhythm while crews , the more 06:35.950 --> 06:38.160 experienced boxer seems to be a little 06:38.160 --> 06:40.216 more settled In the beginning of the 06:40.216 --> 06:42.438 first round . You know , Kenny Cruz has 06:42.438 --> 06:44.493 10 years of boxing experience behind 06:44.493 --> 06:48.220 him compared to only 2.5 years by Toro , 06:48.230 --> 06:50.341 but sometimes it's not how many years 06:50.341 --> 06:52.341 you have , it's what you've done in 06:52.341 --> 06:54.452 those years and Toro very much on the 06:54.452 --> 06:57.950 attack right now . Toro been watching 06:57.950 --> 07:00.006 boxing for many years now , tries to 07:00.006 --> 07:02.340 emulate the great juan Manuel marquez 07:02.500 --> 07:04.667 with the counterpunching style and you 07:04.667 --> 07:06.722 see what the result of that is right 07:06.722 --> 07:10.430 here , it almost starts to even out a 07:10.430 --> 07:14.180 little bit hands 07:14.180 --> 07:14.650 up , 07:18.340 --> 07:21.790 Kenny cruise back against the rope . 07:21.800 --> 07:24.770 Toro taking the about to cruise quick 07:24.770 --> 07:26.826 with the combinations . He goes high 07:26.826 --> 07:29.750 with the left hand , a nice jab , 07:30.540 --> 07:34.390 nice jab by , Hey shoes , Gordo , 07:35.240 --> 07:37.351 he's got that left hand , jab follows 07:37.351 --> 07:40.260 it up with the right . You now see some 07:40.260 --> 07:42.316 of the counterpunching style that we 07:42.316 --> 07:44.900 spoke of earlier by Toro seems to take 07:44.900 --> 07:47.310 a pretty good punch so far , he's going 07:47.310 --> 07:49.310 to have to prove that he can take a 07:49.310 --> 07:51.254 punch . In fact , both boxers will 07:51.254 --> 07:53.421 because you get a lower weight class a 07:53.421 --> 07:55.588 lot of times castle , you see a lot of 07:55.588 --> 07:57.699 activity . A lot of the smaller boxes 07:57.699 --> 07:59.921 move a little bit quicker with a little 07:59.921 --> 08:01.866 more speed perhaps and some of the 08:01.866 --> 08:01.780 bigger boxers that's right and you know , 08:01.780 --> 08:04.030 and on paper van these boxes measure 08:04.030 --> 08:06.740 only half an inch apart in height , but 08:06.740 --> 08:09.360 it looks like cruz with a longer reach 08:09.540 --> 08:12.190 and perhaps the better ability to use 08:12.190 --> 08:14.134 that jab here in the middle of the 08:14.134 --> 08:16.430 first round . Well he got off and 08:16.430 --> 08:19.560 there's a nice little left 08:20.340 --> 08:24.220 bye Kenny Cruise . It was Toro 08:24.220 --> 08:26.180 who got off to a very , very quick 08:26.180 --> 08:29.100 start . He comes back now misses with 08:29.100 --> 08:31.620 the left hand and a nice counter by 08:31.620 --> 08:34.610 Kenny cruise . But here comes Toro . 08:35.340 --> 08:39.450 Toro 08:39.450 --> 08:41.460 on the attack 08:45.340 --> 08:48.100 and we've got a good pair , nine ball 08:48.100 --> 08:50.640 to open this thing up , he's got him in 08:50.640 --> 08:53.440 the corner . Does jesus torito and 08:53.440 --> 08:57.180 racks up a scoring blow or two . You 08:57.180 --> 09:00.140 see the composure of Kenny crews in 09:00.140 --> 09:02.029 there , He's just waiting for his 09:02.029 --> 09:04.020 opportunity picking his shots and 09:04.020 --> 09:06.242 that's the end of the first round . Not 09:06.242 --> 09:08.640 bad . End round number one . And the 09:08.650 --> 09:11.380 crowd loves it . Great action , great 09:11.390 --> 09:12.140 activity . 09:20.330 --> 09:24.190 We take a listen to jesse rubella , the 09:24.190 --> 09:26.357 United States Marine Corps coach as he 09:26.357 --> 09:28.460 talks to jesus Torito , 09:31.940 --> 09:33.829 he's telling him to stay active . 09:34.210 --> 09:36.154 You're getting hit unnecessarily . 09:36.154 --> 09:37.988 You're getting hit unnecessarily 09:37.988 --> 09:40.043 because you're backing up . When you 09:40.043 --> 09:42.210 get in there , you sit on the side and 09:42.210 --> 09:41.950 you start digging okay body under the 09:41.950 --> 09:44.283 head . But every time you're backing up , 09:44.283 --> 09:46.172 backing up with your hands down , 09:46.172 --> 09:46.060 that's when you're getting caught . All 09:46.060 --> 09:48.282 you've got is a right hand . That's all 09:48.282 --> 09:50.116 he has . He has nothing out here 09:50.116 --> 09:49.840 throwing overhand . Right , You've got 09:49.840 --> 09:51.896 to keep those hands up . Okay , keep 09:51.896 --> 09:54.118 them on the inside . You got more gas . 09:54.118 --> 09:53.930 And this guy , this guy is already 09:53.940 --> 09:57.770 breathing hard . Okay , now there was 09:57.770 --> 09:59.826 some of that castle , I may not have 09:59.826 --> 10:01.770 caught because it was in spanish . 10:01.770 --> 10:04.850 Let's see what All right , 10:05.660 --> 10:07.771 well , what's interesting is that the 10:07.771 --> 10:10.880 corner of Toro , jesse Rebello was 10:10.880 --> 10:12.936 telling his man the shorter man with 10:12.936 --> 10:14.880 the shorter reach the box From the 10:14.880 --> 10:16.991 outside . He urged him to stay on the 10:16.991 --> 10:19.158 outside . That's an interesting tactic 10:19.158 --> 10:21.380 for the smaller boxer . Well , we ended 10:21.380 --> 10:24.090 that first round with Cruz leading Toro 10:24.090 --> 10:26.350 by 7-5 . 10:27.340 --> 10:30.670 Yeah , the conventional wisdom would 10:30.670 --> 10:32.726 say that the shorter boxer , the one 10:32.726 --> 10:34.948 with the shorter reach is going to need 10:34.948 --> 10:37.003 to get inside particularly with that 10:37.003 --> 10:39.420 educated jab of Kenny cruise . I can't 10:39.420 --> 10:41.420 imagine that Torah wants to eat too 10:41.420 --> 10:43.087 many of those straight jabs . 10:45.470 --> 10:48.950 As I said , Toro entered this round 10:49.840 --> 10:51.630 trailing 7 to 10:51.640 --> 10:55.080 5 and you see crews 10:55.080 --> 10:57.191 continuing to land some scoring blows 10:57.191 --> 10:59.413 and he's landing the scoring blows in a 10:59.413 --> 11:01.747 counter type position . Yeah , you know , 11:01.747 --> 11:03.913 I mean , he's really the experience of 11:03.913 --> 11:06.024 Kenny Cruz is really starting to show 11:06.024 --> 11:08.080 he's picking his shots . You can see 11:08.080 --> 11:10.191 he's thinking in there and things are 11:10.191 --> 11:12.247 probably moving for him quite slow , 11:12.247 --> 11:14.191 which is what happens after enough 11:14.191 --> 11:18.020 experience inside the ring . I'm a 11:18.020 --> 11:20.490 little concerned that jesus Toro is 11:20.490 --> 11:22.601 starting to pull out of his game plan 11:22.601 --> 11:25.090 and just try and tough his way through . 11:25.100 --> 11:27.160 Let's see if he could do that here 11:27.740 --> 11:29.970 halfway through this about there's a 11:29.970 --> 11:32.700 nice left and a nice right , you got to 11:32.700 --> 11:34.922 Tora giving up a lot of shots , but the 11:34.922 --> 11:38.380 question is , is he scoring ? He's a 11:38.380 --> 11:40.380 spunky one that jesus Toro Van 11:42.080 --> 11:45.840 Kenny Cruise on the counter fatigue 11:45.840 --> 11:48.062 starting to come into the picture right 11:48.062 --> 11:50.510 now , the gloves look like they have a 11:50.520 --> 11:52.630 little fatigue behind the behind the 11:52.640 --> 11:54.862 punches . Well , you know , not as much 11:54.862 --> 11:57.190 force right now then you you couldn't 11:57.200 --> 11:59.367 be more right on that . I mean , jesus 11:59.367 --> 12:01.311 tour by the way , fighting on pure 12:01.311 --> 12:03.200 heart . I mean , he may feel he's 12:03.200 --> 12:05.422 overmatched , but he is just continuing 12:05.422 --> 12:07.589 to punch . He's eating a couple of big 12:07.589 --> 12:09.700 combinations there , but he continues 12:09.700 --> 12:12.660 to move forward .

He's set to go as we 13:27.140 --> 13:29.362 come down to the waning seconds here in 13:29.362 --> 13:31.690 round number to 13:31.700 --> 13:35.670 talk about the fighting 13:35.670 --> 13:37.730 marines man , you have to love the 13:37.740 --> 13:40.050 energy that jesus Toro , he tastes his 13:40.050 --> 13:41.828 own blood and it just makes him 13:41.828 --> 13:44.810 stronger . He doesn't back down and 13:44.810 --> 13:48.450 there's the bell to end round number 13:48.450 --> 13:50.783 two , we're going to take a quick break . 13:50.783 --> 13:52.920 We'll be back for round three of this 13:52.920 --> 13:56.060 £123 about in just a second . 14:01.740 --> 14:03.740 I think it's very important to have 14:03.740 --> 14:05.629 this boxing event on the pentagon 14:05.629 --> 14:07.796 channel for the guys that are overseas 14:07.796 --> 14:11.600 across the way for one , it 14:11.600 --> 14:13.600 lets them know that there are other 14:13.600 --> 14:15.711 things that they can do in the Marine 14:15.711 --> 14:17.767 corps um because a lot of , a lot of 14:17.767 --> 14:19.322 people are not aware of the 14:19.322 --> 14:21.378 opportunities that sports presents . 14:21.378 --> 14:24.150 Yeah , Yes , 14:25.740 --> 14:28.300 Oh yeah , Welcome back to the 3rd round 14:28.300 --> 14:30.930 of this 123 lb weight class . 14:32.740 --> 14:34.851 Okay , I don't want to , you can beat 14:34.851 --> 14:36.962 him easy , okay , when you get inside 14:36.962 --> 14:39.073 with that one to finish to the body , 14:39.073 --> 14:40.907 finish him off to the body man . 14:40.907 --> 14:43.073 Alright , he's tired , he's more tired 14:43.073 --> 14:45.073 of you man , Believe me , Okay , we 14:45.073 --> 14:47.129 worked too hard for this . Alright , 14:47.129 --> 14:49.351 don't let this go away . Alright , race 14:49.351 --> 14:51.462 and spit out and there you hear Kenny 14:51.462 --> 14:53.860 Cruise getting his guidance , 14:57.190 --> 14:59.750 you know , Van in between rounds one 14:59.750 --> 15:01.806 and two . Coach Novello suggested to 15:01.806 --> 15:03.972 his boxer , Toro that he wants to stay 15:03.972 --> 15:06.083 on the outside . We questioned that a 15:06.083 --> 15:08.306 little bit for the shorter boxer during 15:08.306 --> 15:10.417 round two , he seemed to eat a lot of 15:10.417 --> 15:12.528 those long jabs and he got bloodied a 15:12.528 --> 15:14.139 little bit . And what's most 15:14.139 --> 15:16.139 interesting is Rebello actually has 15:16.139 --> 15:18.160 recognized the bad habit of toro of 15:18.160 --> 15:20.860 leaning back on defense , let's see if 15:20.860 --> 15:23.082 they stick with that game plan in round 15:23.082 --> 15:25.304 three or if they try and stick and move 15:25.304 --> 15:27.193 and get inside . Here we go round 15:27.193 --> 15:30.560 number three and it starts just like 15:30.570 --> 15:33.990 the other rounds ended and a little bit 15:33.990 --> 15:35.920 of a warning for holy they're 15:36.420 --> 15:40.560 very 15:40.560 --> 15:43.270 quickly you've got jesus toro on the 15:43.270 --> 15:46.880 attack Against Kenny 15:46.880 --> 15:50.290 Cruise , Kenny Cruz leading after two 15:50.300 --> 15:53.770 rounds , 19 - 13 . Hey , hands up 15:55.540 --> 15:58.180 Mhm and many of those scoring blows 15:58.180 --> 16:00.460 coming off of counterpunches . Here 16:00.460 --> 16:03.520 comes jesus Toro trying to carry the 16:03.520 --> 16:07.130 attack forward . Nice blow that 16:07.140 --> 16:11.060 time by Kenny Cruise . 16:11.840 --> 16:15.750 It's one 16:15.750 --> 16:17.972 thing Cruz does . He comes over against 16:17.972 --> 16:20.083 the ropes , perhaps a little too much 16:20.083 --> 16:22.139 castle if he stays out of the center 16:22.139 --> 16:24.910 and there's a nice attack right now by 16:24.920 --> 16:27.500 jesus Soto , he's got crews in the 16:27.510 --> 16:29.590 corner and that's where he can score 16:29.640 --> 16:32.660 and that is exactly where Toro wants 16:32.660 --> 16:34.660 his man Cruz up against the ropes , 16:34.660 --> 16:37.460 crowding his punches , limiting Cruises 16:37.460 --> 16:40.950 ability to lay out that long jab or our 16:40.950 --> 16:42.894 card . We had him coming into this 16:42.894 --> 16:45.006 round behind , but you hear the crowd 16:45.006 --> 16:47.172 picking up right now , I don't know if 16:47.172 --> 16:49.006 it's for the underdog , but it's 16:49.006 --> 16:51.117 certainly for the boxer in the United 16:51.117 --> 16:53.420 States Marine Corps , jesus Toro has 16:53.420 --> 16:56.170 the USMC on the back of his blue jersey 16:57.730 --> 17:01.440 and beautiful Toro snaps back the 17:01.440 --> 17:03.329 head of Cruise . I mean , this is 17:03.329 --> 17:05.390 excitement , What a way to jump into 17:05.390 --> 17:07.612 the first round of this competition and 17:07.612 --> 17:11.590 it's been a real pure nine brawl in 17:11.590 --> 17:12.330 this ring . 17:17.580 --> 17:21.070 You see jesus Toro throwing a little 17:21.070 --> 17:24.240 bit wildly right now , but the veteran 17:24.250 --> 17:27.120 Kenny Cruise a little bit more under 17:27.120 --> 17:30.690 control , he sticks the 17:30.700 --> 17:34.180 jab and that means an eight 17:34.180 --> 17:37.020 count for jesus Toro now , the eight 17:37.020 --> 17:39.187 count doesn't count against the boxers 17:39.187 --> 17:41.550 for safety purposes only just allows 17:41.550 --> 17:44.380 the boxer to regroup there . You see a 17:44.390 --> 17:47.560 quick stab attack , if you will , by 17:47.560 --> 17:49.870 jesus Toro , that's not what caused 17:49.880 --> 17:52.480 Toro to get the account . His knees a 17:52.480 --> 17:55.040 little bit wobbly right now , trying to 17:55.050 --> 17:58.400 turn it on as Kenny Cruise , Toro is 17:58.400 --> 18:01.560 trying to connect both boxers , tired . 18:01.570 --> 18:03.737 Yeah , I mean , Toro is really hanging 18:03.737 --> 18:05.959 on by a thread here . Cruz continues to 18:05.959 --> 18:07.959 apply the pressure . He's trying to 18:07.959 --> 18:10.380 stop his man with the heart of Toro 18:10.380 --> 18:12.980 holding him up and he will probably 18:12.980 --> 18:15.202 make it through this , but barely there 18:15.202 --> 18:18.120 is a barrage right now , Kenny cruz 18:18.130 --> 18:20.690 turning it on , moving Toro over 18:20.700 --> 18:22.110 against the ropes , 18:25.840 --> 18:28.380 a nice right hand lead , right hand by 18:28.390 --> 18:30.334 Toro . You know , this is where he 18:30.334 --> 18:32.446 wants to be , he wants to stay inside 18:32.446 --> 18:34.810 crowd his man and land those little 18:34.810 --> 18:37.080 baby hooks and I haven't seen too much 18:37.090 --> 18:39.510 body punching going on at this point , 18:39.700 --> 18:41.756 there's probably a little too late . 18:41.756 --> 18:45.360 This is just all out headshots 18:45.940 --> 18:47.920 and there's the bell to end round 18:47.920 --> 18:51.560 number three and an 18:51.560 --> 18:53.910 appreciative crowd here at page field 18:53.910 --> 18:56.030 house here at camp Pendleton , 18:56.040 --> 18:58.660 California . They've got the applause 18:58.660 --> 19:00.730 for both boxers but of course their 19:00.730 --> 19:03.620 favorite Lance corporal , Hey shoes , 19:03.630 --> 19:05.797 Toro of the Marine Corps right here in 19:05.797 --> 19:08.680 camp Pendleton and again , they 19:08.680 --> 19:11.120 appreciate good competition . That's 19:11.120 --> 19:14.270 exactly what they saw is this about . 19:14.640 --> 19:16.700 They're boxer tornado came out , 19:16.710 --> 19:19.790 smoking . Came out aggressive , jumped 19:19.800 --> 19:23.000 on Kenny Cruise and actually took an 19:23.010 --> 19:26.340 early lead on judges scorecards , 19:28.040 --> 19:31.350 but Kenny Cruise settled himself down 19:32.540 --> 19:35.780 and came in strong . You see Cruise on 19:35.780 --> 19:38.810 the counter toro just continues to 19:38.810 --> 19:41.032 press on not doing any damage , but the 19:41.032 --> 19:44.740 quick left jab and that's how Kenny 19:44.740 --> 19:47.070 Cruz scored his points . 19:48.640 --> 19:50.751 Let's go to the ring for our official 19:50.751 --> 19:52.830 announcement . 20:04.010 --> 20:06.960 Yeah , the winner 20:09.740 --> 20:12.630 fighting out of the red quarter Kenneth 20:14.180 --> 20:16.850 cruz , 20:22.200 --> 20:24.480 Your winner , Kenny Cruise , Kenny , 20:24.480 --> 20:26.536 that was a pretty impressive showing 20:26.536 --> 20:28.910 how you're feeling after that Kenny . 20:28.910 --> 20:31.132 What was your game plan going into this 20:31.132 --> 20:33.188 contest ? My trainer told me just to 20:33.188 --> 20:35.243 stay calm , see what he brings . And 20:35.640 --> 20:37.696 first round he called me a couple of 20:37.696 --> 20:39.584 shots , but I did , I think I did 20:39.584 --> 20:41.696 pretty good after that . He's a tough 20:41.696 --> 20:43.751 little kid , but you were managed to 20:43.751 --> 20:43.390 bloody him in the second round , His 20:43.390 --> 20:45.223 coach between rounds one and two 20:45.223 --> 20:47.446 suggested he stay on the outside .

Um First thing first 23:04.562 --> 23:07.980 is to get in shape mm hmm . We've got 23:07.980 --> 23:10.540 guys that are in decent shape , not in 23:10.540 --> 23:12.373 great shape . And I told him , I 23:12.373 --> 23:14.651 promise you I'm gonna get you in shape . 23:15.640 --> 23:17.584 So this last week , all we did was 23:17.584 --> 23:20.870 hills and sprints . We don't have 23:20.870 --> 23:23.037 enough time to train and get ready for 23:23.037 --> 23:24.648 this . So just under a month 23:24.648 --> 23:25.648 preparation , 23:29.040 --> 23:31.262 it teaches you a lot about discipline , 23:31.630 --> 23:34.080 the fact that you get up and train and 23:34.640 --> 23:37.030 and after work , you go to train and 23:37.030 --> 23:40.820 the things you do as far as um time . 23:40.830 --> 23:43.052 It takes a lot of time away from your , 23:43.052 --> 23:45.274 your social life and things like that . 23:47.040 --> 23:49.207 But the discipline that it requires to 23:49.207 --> 23:51.720 to continue to do that daily is I think , 23:51.730 --> 23:53.952 I think it makes you a better person in 23:53.952 --> 23:56.520 general . They're very acceptable of 23:56.520 --> 23:58.631 what we're trying to teach and nobody 23:58.631 --> 24:00.576 really knows what to expect next . 24:02.640 --> 24:04.807 We have a model in the , in the army , 24:04.807 --> 24:07.210 you know , no soldier left behind and 24:07.220 --> 24:08.942 we don't leave nobody behind . 24:08.942 --> 24:10.990 Everybody's informed you , take all 24:10.990 --> 24:13.460 your teammates with you right here and 24:13.460 --> 24:17.350 right here , one of our tryouts is 24:17.350 --> 24:19.572 in Norfolk Virginia .

We evaluate you and 24:27.230 --> 24:29.520 we choose the final team that comes to 24:29.520 --> 24:32.740 the armed forces championships .

Let's listen to what 26:05.869 --> 26:06.869 he has to say . 26:11.340 --> 26:14.280 I've been boxing for about about 10 26:14.280 --> 26:16.640 years . I've won couple of regional 26:16.640 --> 26:19.350 titles back home . My style is 26:19.940 --> 26:23.430 basically a counterpuncher , but if I 26:23.430 --> 26:26.210 have to put pressure on , I'll keep 26:26.210 --> 26:27.210 coming forward . 26:34.540 --> 26:35.540 Mhm . 26:38.640 --> 26:42.310 Mhm .

I'm a quiet guy , but once I get 26:51.180 --> 26:54.050 in the ring , like I just let my fist 26:54.050 --> 26:56.600 talk . I'm excited about being here . I 26:56.600 --> 26:59.000 just can't wait till we win gold . 27:00.840 --> 27:02.951 I've only trained for two weeks , but 27:02.951 --> 27:05.173 I'm pretty confident I'm gonna win this 27:05.173 --> 27:07.396 tournament , especially tonight Charles 27:07.396 --> 27:09.507 Williams , on the other hand , drew a 27:09.507 --> 27:11.618 bye into this particular championship 27:11.618 --> 27:13.618 bout by virtue of having only three 27:13.618 --> 27:15.673 boxers in this weight class . He's a 27:15.673 --> 27:17.840 medical logistics specialist , but you 27:17.840 --> 27:19.896 can put that aside because right now 27:19.896 --> 27:22.007 his gold medal is on the line . Let's 27:22.007 --> 27:22.000 listen to what this young man has to 27:22.000 --> 27:25.270 say . My style is slick , smart 27:25.840 --> 27:28.360 stick and move hitting at your head . 27:29.040 --> 27:32.560 Yeah , my jab , my feet work . Those 27:32.560 --> 27:34.727 are my two strengths . Well , it means 27:34.727 --> 27:36.949 a lot because I'm representing not just 27:36.949 --> 27:39.060 myself , the whole country is looking 27:39.060 --> 27:41.410 at me , so he means a lot to him . 27:43.540 --> 27:46.170 I'm gonna have to outsmart them . Mhm . 27:46.940 --> 27:50.500 You have to want it more . Just listen 27:50.500 --> 27:52.500 to my corner of my coaches and they 27:52.510 --> 27:53.788 should drive through . 27:56.770 --> 27:58.950 Well , I feel me being here to be 27:58.950 --> 28:02.060 supporting other troops , giving them 28:02.620 --> 28:05.360 something to look back and be happy for , 28:05.740 --> 28:07.907 we're having a good reputation for the 28:07.907 --> 28:09.907 army . We're fighting just like how 28:09.907 --> 28:12.184 they're fighting over there in the war . 28:12.184 --> 28:14.351 We're just , we're doing our battle in 28:14.351 --> 28:16.462 the ring . If everything goes right , 28:16.462 --> 28:18.629 I'll be attending uh , 2016 Olympics . 28:18.940 --> 28:21.107 So castle , we've got Kenny Cruz who's 28:21.107 --> 28:22.996 already boxed in this competition 28:22.996 --> 28:25.218 coming out to face Charles Williams new 28:25.218 --> 28:27.273 to the ring . What goes through your 28:27.273 --> 28:29.496 mind when you see someone who's already 28:29.496 --> 28:31.496 fought plus somebody new inside the 28:31.496 --> 28:33.551 ring ? Well , you know , it could go 28:33.551 --> 28:35.662 both ways van on one hand , the boxer 28:35.662 --> 28:35.590 that just boxed two nights ago here in 28:35.590 --> 28:38.120 this venue . I felt the energy got a 28:38.120 --> 28:40.176 sense of what the crowds like , what 28:40.176 --> 28:42.342 the ring feels like . Very important , 28:42.342 --> 28:44.342 different rings , different sizes , 28:44.342 --> 28:46.398 different elasticity , elasticity on 28:46.398 --> 28:48.564 the canvas . So , you know , Cruz does 28:48.564 --> 28:50.676 have that advantage . He's boxed here 28:50.676 --> 28:50.400 this week . On the other hand , 28:50.410 --> 28:52.521 Williams , perhaps a little fresher . 28:52.521 --> 28:54.521 He didn't just go three rounds with 28:54.521 --> 28:56.521 some good competition . So it could 28:56.521 --> 28:58.410 work both ways . Williams . Great 28:58.410 --> 29:00.299 fundamentals Cruise a little more 29:00.299 --> 29:01.910 awkward going to make for an 29:01.910 --> 29:03.966 interesting matchup . Well , perhaps 29:03.966 --> 29:03.950 Williams saw something earlier that he 29:03.950 --> 29:06.180 might be able to use today . We'll find 29:06.180 --> 29:09.520 out . Let's get to the action .

Which is 31:17.317 --> 31:20.610 probably not me . Nice left , jab real 31:20.610 --> 31:21.780 quick by Kenny 31:21.780 --> 31:26.460 cruise 31:29.540 --> 31:31.920 Charles Williams quick and retaliation . 31:32.440 --> 31:35.340 Mhm Williams is stationed at fort Bragg 31:35.350 --> 31:38.040 north Carolina goes by the nickname of 31:38.050 --> 31:39.350 baby face . 31:42.150 --> 31:44.317 Not exactly for sure how he got that . 31:44.317 --> 31:46.372 He has a pleasant young man . We did 31:46.372 --> 31:48.910 speak with him early on as we had an 31:48.910 --> 31:51.021 opportunity to sit down and meet with 31:51.021 --> 31:53.021 all of these boxes and talk to them 31:53.040 --> 31:55.690 about their boxing careers , about 31:55.690 --> 31:58.190 their time in the service , their 31:58.190 --> 32:02.100 deployments and what it's like to be in 32:02.100 --> 32:04.720 the ring here today , you know , Van , 32:04.720 --> 32:06.664 it's interesting , we spoke to the 32:06.664 --> 32:08.831 boxers in the pre fight interviews and 32:08.831 --> 32:10.998 it was Williams who talked about his , 32:10.998 --> 32:12.942 his jab and his , his fundamentals 32:12.942 --> 32:15.200 coming out , but it's and it was jesus 32:15.200 --> 32:17.533 Cruz who talked about being the awkward , 32:17.533 --> 32:19.644 awkward boxer , but here in the first 32:19.644 --> 32:21.867 round it looks like Cruz is winning the 32:21.867 --> 32:24.033 battle of the jabs early and trying to 32:24.033 --> 32:26.144 set the pace Through round one . Well 32:26.144 --> 32:28.311 he's trying to do that castle , but We 32:28.311 --> 32:30.533 are one half through the first , stands 32:30.533 --> 32:32.756 up one minute and 30 seconds gone by in 32:32.756 --> 32:35.240 round number one and according to the 32:35.250 --> 32:37.670 judge's computerized cards , there are 32:37.670 --> 32:39.040 no scoring blows . 32:48.140 --> 32:50.670 He threw a punch , did not land and he 32:50.670 --> 32:52.781 went down to the canvas so he gets up 32:52.781 --> 32:54.837 our third man in the ring Tom Cleary 32:54.837 --> 32:56.670 said that was not a knockdown so 32:56.670 --> 32:58.837 cleaned off the gloves , he's ready to 32:58.837 --> 33:01.500 go again , I understand 33:06.540 --> 33:10.510 Williams gets off a couple 33:10.510 --> 33:13.500 of punches . Yeah , there's definitely 33:13.500 --> 33:15.389 been a role reversal from what we 33:15.389 --> 33:17.222 expected with Williams being the 33:17.222 --> 33:19.389 counterpuncher and more of the awkward 33:19.570 --> 33:23.230 style of boxing crews on the other hand , 33:23.230 --> 33:25.286 really just trying to set the pace . 33:25.286 --> 33:27.341 He's taller boxer , he's working off 33:27.341 --> 33:30.830 the jab beautifully fast punches by 33:30.830 --> 33:32.941 Williams countering . This is a blend 33:32.941 --> 33:35.410 of the old weight classes , £119 and 33:35.410 --> 33:38.670 £125 . When they reduced the number of 33:38.670 --> 33:40.781 weight classes , they formulated this 33:40.781 --> 33:44.260 £123 class several years ago , Russell , 33:45.440 --> 33:47.850 right and now smoking . Now comes 33:47.860 --> 33:50.260 Charles , Williams of the army 33:50.800 --> 33:54.480 seconds tick 33:54.480 --> 33:56.480 away here at the end of round one , 33:56.480 --> 33:58.536 round number one , and that'll do it 33:58.536 --> 33:59.860 for the first stanza . 34:01.640 --> 34:04.290 Taking a look at the cards . That was 34:04.300 --> 34:06.440 pretty even no difference . In fact , 34:06.440 --> 34:08.690 on the judges cards , it reads 1-1 . 34:08.840 --> 34:10.850 Yeah , these boxers are definitely 34:10.850 --> 34:12.961 evenly matched through the first . We 34:12.961 --> 34:15.183 expected this to be a good one contrast 34:15.183 --> 34:17.406 of styles . You roll this hook and take 34:17.406 --> 34:20.280 the money will roll off the hook if 34:20.280 --> 34:22.600 you're gonna move to it , okay ? I 34:22.600 --> 34:24.822 prefer you to move away from the hook . 34:24.822 --> 34:26.878 Double jab , shoot your right hand . 34:26.878 --> 34:28.933 There you go . Use your face , son , 34:28.933 --> 34:31.156 he's not he's nowhere close to being as 34:31.156 --> 34:33.267 fast as you use your face . Alright , 34:33.267 --> 34:34.878 give me some face and ransom 34:34.878 --> 34:37.044 combination , throwing single shots or 34:37.044 --> 34:39.044 in combinations off the face . It's 34:39.044 --> 34:40.933 easy work . So if you were in the 34:40.933 --> 34:40.500 corner right now , what would you be 34:40.500 --> 34:42.500 telling Charles Williams . Well , I 34:42.500 --> 34:44.722 think he's doing a really good job with 34:44.722 --> 34:46.944 his counterpunching . I'd like to see a 34:46.944 --> 34:49.111 little more advancing and retreating , 34:49.111 --> 34:51.278 he doesn't want to stay in one place , 34:51.278 --> 34:54.410 keep the spatial awareness varied so 34:54.410 --> 34:57.090 that the jesus Cruz needs to try and 34:57.090 --> 34:59.146 figure him out right now , the jesus 34:59.146 --> 35:01.312 Cruz sees him in front of him and he's 35:01.312 --> 35:03.146 going to be able to predict what 35:03.146 --> 35:05.146 happens next if he continues to use 35:05.146 --> 35:07.312 that jab properly round , number two , 35:07.312 --> 35:09.423 under way Round , starts with an even 35:09.423 --> 35:12.070 1-1 score between the two boxers , 35:12.220 --> 35:15.990 Kenny cruise in the red Charles 35:15.990 --> 35:18.740 Williams in the goal . There you go . 35:20.650 --> 35:22.706 Some nice fainting there by Williams 35:22.706 --> 35:26.010 also trying to get crews to commit heel 35:26.010 --> 35:28.066 counter warning if he can counter on 35:28.066 --> 35:29.677 him , That's exactly right . 35:32.140 --> 35:34.600 And here comes Charles , Williams , 35:35.440 --> 35:37.910 Cruz goes into the ropes . Third man in 35:37.910 --> 35:41.630 the ring says , keep your head up , tom 35:41.630 --> 35:44.030 clear has been around this sport for as 35:44.030 --> 35:46.086 long as I can remember , he's one of 35:46.086 --> 35:48.310 the best officials here in the States 35:48.310 --> 35:51.380 and the boxers are very fortunate to 35:51.380 --> 35:53.491 have him as the third man in the ring 35:53.491 --> 35:55.658 and I will say this , the armed forces 35:55.658 --> 35:57.547 reaches out and pulls in the best 35:57.547 --> 35:59.324 officials that usa boxing , the 35:59.324 --> 36:01.436 national governing body for the sport 36:01.436 --> 36:03.547 of olympic style boxing in the United 36:03.547 --> 36:05.570 States has to offer , they provide 36:05.570 --> 36:08.610 these judges and referees and we're so 36:08.620 --> 36:11.940 grateful to have him here , there's 36:11.940 --> 36:13.940 that in and out movement that I was 36:13.940 --> 36:15.829 speaking about earlier , Williams 36:15.829 --> 36:17.940 commits goes to the body , then pulls 36:17.940 --> 36:19.996 back out and I think if he continues 36:19.996 --> 36:22.107 down that path using those great head 36:22.107 --> 36:25.020 faints right there , Williams is gonna 36:25.030 --> 36:27.870 find himself pulling ahead 36:27.880 --> 36:31.790 perhaps . Oh we 36:31.790 --> 36:34.460 landed one that time or so it seemed . 36:34.930 --> 36:37.041 I don't know if he's going to get the 36:37.041 --> 36:39.208 nod on the judges scorecard throughout 36:39.208 --> 36:42.920 and on one minute and 20 seconds 36:42.920 --> 36:45.340 remaining in round number two and it's 36:45.340 --> 36:49.140 a narrow 3 to 1 lead Right now , crews 36:49.640 --> 36:51.862 in the Air Force , you know that sneaky 36:51.862 --> 36:53.918 lead right hand by Cruz , he started 36:53.918 --> 36:56.029 throwing it in the first and he threw 36:56.029 --> 36:58.140 it again right there . That's a tough 36:58.140 --> 36:57.870 punch to land that lead right , 36:57.880 --> 37:00.160 especially against a fast boxer with 37:00.160 --> 37:02.271 such good head movement as Williams , 37:02.271 --> 37:04.327 but Cruz has found some good success 37:04.327 --> 37:06.160 with it here through round two , 37:06.160 --> 37:09.490 beautiful 37:09.500 --> 37:11.980 overhand , right counter by Williams . 37:11.980 --> 37:14.210 So the shorter boxer with the shorter 37:14.210 --> 37:17.080 reach somehow continues to connect with 37:17.080 --> 37:19.520 those overhand rights always snuck one 37:19.520 --> 37:22.330 in there . Did Kenny crews picked up a 37:22.330 --> 37:24.460 point on the judges scorecards , 37:30.830 --> 37:33.160 Roughly 40 seconds remaining in this 37:33.170 --> 37:35.760 round , number two of this gold medal 37:35.760 --> 37:39.610 about £123 nice 37:39.610 --> 37:40.550 cover that time 37:43.230 --> 37:47.150 Kenny cruise , but he got 37:47.160 --> 37:49.327 through . Did Charles . William landed 37:49.327 --> 37:50.327 a scoring blow . 37:52.480 --> 37:54.950 Williams , I think has to get a little 37:54.950 --> 37:57.061 bit aggressive as we move down to the 37:57.061 --> 37:59.117 final seconds here in . Round number 37:59.117 --> 38:01.061 two looks like his pace has indeed 38:01.061 --> 38:03.283 slowed down here towards the end of the 38:03.283 --> 38:05.339 second half and he's going to really 38:05.339 --> 38:04.990 need to keep the pressure on Van as we 38:04.990 --> 38:07.157 study into round three and there's the 38:07.157 --> 38:09.212 built in round number two , we'll be 38:09.212 --> 38:11.379 back to the Armed Forces Championships 38:11.379 --> 38:12.934 right after this time out . 38:17.420 --> 38:20.850 It was a requirement that all of the 38:20.850 --> 38:23.330 boxes this year , watched all of the 38:23.330 --> 38:25.520 episodes from last year and the year 38:25.520 --> 38:27.810 before . And they had to tell me about 38:27.810 --> 38:31.280 him that they just didn't say you know , 38:31.280 --> 38:33.558 here's a good thing for you guys to do . 38:33.558 --> 38:35.669 Go ahead and do it . I had them watch 38:35.669 --> 38:37.724 their weight class and tell me about 38:37.724 --> 38:39.780 every boxer that they saw and And we 38:39.780 --> 38:41.891 talked about and And it was great for 38:41.891 --> 38:44.113 them to see that level of competition . 38:44.113 --> 38:46.280 I use every piece of footage I can get 38:46.280 --> 38:48.502 my hands on . So thank you guys for the 38:48.502 --> 38:52.180 footage that you provide .

This is 39:03.790 --> 39:06.590 the £123 weight class as we get set 39:06.600 --> 39:09.120 for round number three in this gold 39:09.120 --> 39:12.510 medal about . Let's see what the corner 39:12.510 --> 39:13.490 has to say . 39:14.820 --> 39:18.020 You got to pick up the pace , son . You 39:18.020 --> 39:20.540 gotta pick up . Alright , drink . 39:22.420 --> 39:24.800 Hey , three minutes , three minutes to 39:24.800 --> 39:26.744 go . That's all we asked for three 39:26.744 --> 39:28.967 minutes . Okay , I want three minutes . 39:28.967 --> 39:31.270 Okay , thank you . Doubles and triples . 39:32.220 --> 39:35.370 Let the right hand go . You can make it 39:35.370 --> 39:37.930 so easy . You ain't got nothing man 39:38.150 --> 39:41.080 making him look like . Okay , come on 39:41.080 --> 39:44.940 baby three minutes . All right , 39:45.690 --> 39:47.870 well , castle , that kind of echoes 39:47.870 --> 39:50.092 pretty much what we talked about at the 39:50.092 --> 39:52.259 end of round two , there's the bell or 39:52.259 --> 39:54.259 not the bell , but the whistle that 39:54.259 --> 39:56.426 signifies seconds remaining before the 39:56.426 --> 39:58.426 bell south . There's the bell round 39:58.426 --> 40:00.537 number three and let's see if Charles 40:00.537 --> 40:02.670 Williams can get active as his head 40:02.670 --> 40:04.892 coach , Charles Leverett told him to do 40:04.930 --> 40:07.100 in between the rounds , the best thing 40:07.100 --> 40:09.322 Williams could do is to continue to use 40:09.322 --> 40:11.156 that head movement , advance and 40:11.156 --> 40:12.989 retreat and keep the pressure on 40:12.989 --> 40:14.989 counterpunch every time Cruz throws 40:14.989 --> 40:17.100 that long jab but we're looking at an 40:17.100 --> 40:19.156 even score card right now , 4 to 4 , 40:21.140 --> 40:23.490 You can pressure for the 1st 30 seconds , 40:23.490 --> 40:25.546 but you've got to keep it up for the 40:25.546 --> 40:27.601 entire three minutes of this round . 40:27.601 --> 40:29.601 Castle Yeah , and right now Cruz is 40:29.601 --> 40:31.823 going to also want to start to get more 40:31.823 --> 40:33.934 active . It's a tie score here in the 40:33.934 --> 40:33.830 third and final round , Cruz is going 40:33.830 --> 40:35.886 to need to throw that jab . Not just 40:35.886 --> 40:37.886 that pity patter stuff , but really 40:37.886 --> 40:40.052 throw it out there with authority . If 40:40.052 --> 40:41.941 he wants to keep Charles babyface 40:41.941 --> 40:43.886 Williams from stepping to him with 40:43.886 --> 40:45.997 those big counterpunch is interesting 40:45.997 --> 40:45.630 to note . I don't know if you get a 40:45.630 --> 40:48.500 look at it , Kenny Cruz has that form 40:48.500 --> 40:50.900 fitted headgear And Wraps around covers 40:50.900 --> 40:53.067 the front portion of his face protects 40:53.067 --> 40:55.200 his face . Now Charles Williams can 40:55.200 --> 40:57.800 still score with a blow to the head , 40:57.800 --> 41:00.050 the front portion of the head just like 41:00.060 --> 41:03.100 that , Kenny Cruz scores on Charles 41:03.110 --> 41:06.610 Williams 5-4 . Now the 41:06.610 --> 41:07.190 exchange 41:07.200 --> 41:10.940 blows 41:11.210 --> 41:12.900 two minutes remaining 41:14.720 --> 41:18.560 here in Williams corner , urging 41:18.560 --> 41:21.100 his man to move forward , This is the 41:21.110 --> 41:23.830 gold down the winner takes it all . 41:24.260 --> 41:26.316 This is about as close as it can get 41:26.316 --> 41:28.482 here for the first out of the there is 41:28.482 --> 41:31.100 a difference right now in this battle , 41:35.710 --> 41:36.710 there's 41:36.710 --> 41:40.940 a 41:40.950 --> 41:43.172 big crash in the center of the ring and 41:43.172 --> 41:45.283 who's got the better of it at another 41:45.283 --> 41:47.394 point in the process and a nice quick 41:47.394 --> 41:49.450 counter hand left hook by Williams . 41:56.400 --> 42:00.170 I've noticed that crafty footwork by 42:00.170 --> 42:02.240 Williams , he said earlier , he has 42:02.240 --> 42:04.296 sound footwork , you see how he uses 42:04.296 --> 42:06.407 his feet to get inside and land those 42:06.407 --> 42:09.100 scoring blows around 42:09.120 --> 42:14.380 £323. 42:16.200 --> 42:19.470 Cruz sticks him again . Cruz leads 9 to 42:19.470 --> 42:21.710 7 . Computer 42:24.330 --> 42:26.530 Williams turning up the heat 42:38.880 --> 42:42.680 contest every time , Williams thinks 42:42.680 --> 42:43.680 he's 42:46.830 --> 42:48.750 cannot seem to figure out a way 42:48.750 --> 42:51.520 Williams to minimize the lead with 42:51.520 --> 42:53.742 under 30 seconds here in this contest , 42:53.742 --> 42:55.850 less than 10 to go , 42:57.560 --> 43:01.510 can he get there , can cruise 43:01.510 --> 43:04.480 keep him at bay and there's the bell to 43:04.490 --> 43:08.110 end round number three and this 123 43:08.110 --> 43:11.520 round £123 championship bout , 43:15.400 --> 43:19.020 Kenny Cruise .

Full head of 43:42.630 --> 43:45.920 steam from each boxer first it's Cruz 43:47.200 --> 43:49.422 and then it's Charles Williams .
