20. 0:52[Applause]
21. 1:02for a 52 year old
22. 1:05oh my god he's in astonishing shape
23. 1:08but of course he began boxing in prison
24. 1:10uh if there's anything you know about uh
25. 1:12a prison like sentencing it is that they
26. 1:14do have weights thank you and guys we'll
27. 1:16use them and maybe bozella benefited
28. 1:19that way
29. 1:20my dream
30. 1:21is that he wins the fight and calls out
31. 1:23steve cunningham
32. 1:26but you know the one thing that
33. 1:27consideration he had like an amateur
34. 1:29background he'd box before he went to
35. 1:31prison
36. 1:32so it isn't like he just learned the box
37. 1:34while he was in prison what do you see
38. 1:35so far from heaven
39. 1:37basically fundamental balance stuff
40. 1:39seems good but there's never been any
41. 1:41real execution of punches
42. 1:43but so far everything looks good
43. 1:46well i watched him i went back into his
44. 1:48dressing room and watched him do pad
45. 1:49work with danny davis for about five
46. 1:51minutes and he looked like a
47. 1:52professional fighter he looked like a
48. 1:54combination puncher who knew what he was
49. 1:55doing so let's see if he can replicate
50. 1:57that in the ring he gets hit hard with
51. 1:59the right hand
52. 2:00but it was a winging shot i mean at 52
53. 2:02you can understand why he's not the
54. 2:04quickest fighter in the world but his
55. 2:06technique does look pretty good emmanuel
56. 2:07i think right and he's gonna take it and
57. 2:09he's got him in with a lively opponent i
58. 2:10thought it would have been an easier
59. 2:12opponent than what he's in it
60. 2:16hasn't landed anything really
61. 2:17significant here and has taken a couple
62. 2:20of right hands for hopkins stop
63. 2:22back up
64. 2:23they have an owing three guy at hopkins
65. 2:26who looks like he showed up to win i
66. 2:27would expect a three-and-oh guy who
67. 2:29shows up to lose he seems to have
68. 2:30forgotten that he needs to be in a
69. 2:32defensive
70. 2:33possible emanuel
71. 2:34now he turns it back but still gets hit
72. 2:36with a left hand straight in the face
73. 2:38you know
74. 2:39dewey is having a problem man an
75. 2:40effective attack he's moving good moving
76. 2:43his arms back and forth but he can't do
77. 2:45anything effectively from an aggressive
78. 2:48viewpoint and that's the punch that
79. 2:51hopkins has landed a couple of times in
80. 2:53the round probably
81. 2:54from a scoring standpoint as good as any
82. 2:57other reason why hopkins has probably
83. 2:59taken round one definitely there just
84. 3:01dropped the right hand with
85. 3:03[Applause]
86. 3:06hook which was his first significant
87. 3:07punch hopkins 8 out of 38
88. 3:10and again the the overhand rights a
89. 3:12couple of which landed fluff probably
90. 3:14won the round for hopkins
91. 3:19let's see if bozella has some kind of
92. 3:21adjustment here in round two he has a
93. 3:23very competent trainer and danny davis
94. 3:26gets his confidence up and closes one of
95. 3:28those
96. 3:31that was a good idea jim your favorite
97. 3:32thing a couple body punches because he
98. 3:34hasn't been able to let him go to the
99. 3:35head doing 100 that was exactly the
100. 3:38right thing to do and it shows you that
101. 3:40mozella hasn't completely lost the
102. 3:41thought process in there
103. 3:51um you don't know about hopkins
104. 3:53determination or those body shots will
105. 3:55find out
106. 3:57short with the uppercut is larry hopkins
107. 4:00he backs away from blizzella's double
108. 4:01jab bozella lands a right hand over the
109. 4:04top
110. 4:05he has clearly won round two
111. 4:12copy box numbers in round two bozzella
112. 4:13was six of 41 by compubox count hopkins
113. 4:16three is 32. so bozzella threw more
114. 4:18punches five of his landed punches were
115. 4:20power shots again i thought that he won
116. 4:22the round uh and we entered the third
117. 4:24of four and carol letterman agrees with
118. 4:27me that bozella won the round not the
119. 4:29easiest in the doodle
120. 4:31just missed there but he threw it with
121. 4:33conviction
122. 4:35he's great great defense where he picks
123. 4:37and parry's punches
124. 4:45that's pretty hard for a 52 year old
125. 4:47fighter to do i think no
126. 4:49but otherwise he's doing amazing things
127. 4:50frankly for his age even if he loses the
128. 4:52fight but you see just there he had some
129. 4:54success
130. 4:55[Applause]
