Thank you.
What up talking fight fans, thanks for tuning in to today’s episode of Knuckle Up knockout of the week with yours, truly Mike or and maybe we were joined by my man, Cedric Ben, who is in Bulgaria today again still with the women’s team from Canada uh.
If he gets a chance to join us, he will definitely great weekend of fights guy.
You know what it was man Canelo Triple G was to talk about the entire weekend.
Uh kind of engulfed everything else like it’s, it just was bigger than than anything.
That was really going on this weekend.
Um, if you guys know – and you were tuned in this morning with the scorecard – you know that that one went the distance Canelo came through with that Victory uh.
You know Triple G says that in the beginning that the slow start might have not been a smart tactical move um, you know, because that slow start kind of kind of you know put a damper on his on his whole situation.
Um Canelo hurt hand, looks like he’s gon na be out till September um.
I don’t know man, I don’t know if he really really did enough to Win It unanimously uh he did gas out in the eighth a little bit guys.
We didn’t know that uh and now we’ve got that hurt hand.
Triple G, though, is not returning to that weight.
Man um, you know he wants to.
He wants to campaign again uh back down.
I believe it’s 160 he’s looking to get into so this is uh.
Give me a new thing for him.
Uh, you know the trilogy was great.
Definitely one of the greatest trilogies in barting to date.
Uh Canelo, you know still the man, you know what it is, but guys.
What we’re talking about today is our knockout of the week and it has to go to our Man Mark Castro against Kevin Montiel, Mendoza wow guys what an uppercut man uppercut KO, what a brilliant finish! You know our Man Mark Castro here doing it big fifth round KO uh time was 140 ref.
Tony Weeks uh it was huge Man Mark Castro was now improved to 8-0 uh.
You know I’ve been telling you guys this for time.
Watch out.
For this kid.
I’Ve been saying it since he started turn pro.
I’Ve been telling you to watch out for this kid, and you know what I haven’t been wrong every time this guy gets in here.
He never ceases to amaze me, and he comes through in such a brutal fashion with a scale man like brutally knocking out our man.
Mendoza, possibly a runner-up could be 4K over the year, we’ll see but guys I’ve clipped it.
I’Ve got about 18 slides here, for you, two different angles: you’re gon na see one of these brilliantly placed inside uppercut.
You know right on the button, while time perfect place, perfect execution and a fantastic finish guys huge, so we’re gon na.
Do it right now, for you we’re gon na set it all up now? This is this: is Castro here and you can see what he’s doing he’s got those those piercing eyes looking at his Target, knowing exactly where he wants to hit him? This is huge.
He’S he’s getting ready to deliver this beautiful, beautiful uppercut so, as I switch to the next see so Castro fends off this Jab from Montiel darts down – and you see here, it comes and it came from downstairs guys.
This one was so well timed Castro had montiel’s timing, so well that look at this this this! This is he’s coming from behind him on this one and coming up with it guys now we’ll get into the next slide here, see he’s coming right through on the inside between those two shots he’s coming right on that inside you’re gon na see it get well Placed right here guys, bang right on the chin.
You see that you see that he’s come on the inside full extension, full power, perfect connection on the button.
That’S what you want to see guys! This is textbook technique.
This is why fundamentals are so big in boxing.
You need to have a good basis.
You need to know the fundamentals before you can know anything else, man, because fundamentals win fights man, and this is a prime example of it man.
This is textbook technique, and you know what a brilliant finish by Mark Castro after that.
Like look, look at the force, look at the force if we go back and forth like look at this, that shot Was Not Just landing at the button.
It was going through.
The button, as you can see with this, follow through see look at the power just drops Montiel.
With this one see montiel’s arm literally just Falls over Castro’s shoulder as he’s going to sleep guys laying it down onto the mat.
Here’S from another angle guys we’re gon na watch.
This here we go so here is that lazy, jab the Montiel throws out, and Castro from downstairs from waist level, guys look at this from waist level and the connection see right up through on that inside perfect torque of the hips Landing it right on the button.
This is how it’s done folks.
