Music.
My name is Andrew Tate, I'm 24 and I'm representing the USA. My name is Sami Massa, I'm 25 years old.
And I come from Germany, Hamburg.
fighting record kickboxing I've only had one professional loss
I've had 29 wins.
and my last 15 wins have been by knockout.
I have about 45.
fights.
I don't know exactly how much I want.
pretty much over.
I'm six foot three.
and I'm 85 kilo.
I'm 193 centimeters
I weigh 85 kilos.
It feels great to be part of Infusion, I think it's a really good opportunity. It's good to see lots of different people from different countries and see all the different styles they bring with it, so I'm looking forward to the entire tournament.
To be part of Infusion is a great feeling to get around
all great fighters of the world.
It's a great opportunity to show what I can do and to represent Germany.
And it's great they took me to represent Germany and I'm proud of.
I am dual nationality. I'm both English and I'm American.
My dad is American and my mom is British.
my dad
um
was based in the UK for the Air Force. He was actually in the intelligence services, he was a spy.
Nowadays, if the American government needs someone to translate, they can hire a Russian who speaks English.
In the 80s, that was obviously off limits, so they'd take Americans and teach them Russian.
So they taught him Russian and he was based in the UK.
where he met my mom.
He's also one of the world's best chess players, top ranked chess players in the world, so he's a very, very smart guy.
My mom and dad moved back to America
Remy.
uh,
my brother Tristan and my sister Janine was born. And then they split up.
and my mum moved back to England and I came with her.
and that changed my life quite a bit because
I'm named after my dad, me and my dad have the same name. Andrew's actually my middle name.
Emery Andrew Tate is my name. We had the same name. And when I was in America, my sole focus in life was chess. I used to play chess three, four hours a day. I was state chess champion at five.
I had a high rating and I used to compete with adults at the age of eight. I was very, very smart, very good. When I moved to England, I had no teacher anymore.
So my chess game stopped and I moved into fighting.
And here I am.
Here I am.
I live in Hamburg. I study there. I'm going to be a teacher for biology and chemistry. And yeah, I really like the city. It's my favorite city in the world. I grew up there.
And yeah, that's kind of...
It's raining a lot there, but I still like it.
My nickname King Cobra came about by the way I fight because I'm usually very passive. In this tournament I haven't been too passive, but I'm very on the back foot.
My hands are down, I look easy to hit, and then when people come in, they get knocked out. So that's where the nickname came from. Then I got a cobra tattoo. Then I ate a cobra.
I drank cobra blood.
and it's all just come together. So King Cobra is the fight name. I was a bouncer in Hamburg, you know, but I don't really like that job, because it's all night and it's not comparable to my studying and to my sports, because I'm all tired then the whole day, because I work to six in the morning.
or later and it's a very rough job you know and I'm
I'm a sweet guy, I think, and I don't like that a lot. So now I'm doing only fighting. I had this thing where I really wanted to be bitten by one.
I'm not sure why. I think it would leave a really good scar, like where the snake teeth are. So there was a restaurant place where you could eat a cobra. And I said, if we call the ambulance in advance...
and it bites me.
Will I be okay if the ambulance is already here? And he said, probably you'll be fine, but you might lose your limb.
South, I don't know.
They have a chance. So I decided not to. But he said you can drink the blood if you want. So it's like, okay. But maybe one day, if I can find a way to guarantee I keep my limb, I'd like to get bitten by one as well.
I would like to do some action things, you know, like bungee jumping or house running. And I would love to do some paragliding or stuff like that. I've never done that before.
or this would be nice because to erase my mind, to be like somewhere else than in the ring, and then I can concentrate on the fight.
A good moment for Sammy Massa to clear his mind before the most important fight of his career against Andrew Tate from the USA.
*music*
Have fun! Yeah, have to do it again. Can we fight? Yeah, we can fight!
Nice, nice! Thank you man, thank you! You're welcome! Very much!
It's about to go down, down, down.
This challenge, please step forward. Andrew, Sammy.
I think one of the hardest and toughest challenges. Pedal to the top. Your four team members, pedal, you push them.
We go back to the hotel, who's first wins the challenge.
Okay, that's good. Guys like to stand up, huh?
Like you said. Okay, come on. Come on, man.
The President: If I can, we're not going to bolt in.
*singing* 3

One
Go! OK, guys. Come on. One, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, one. Before every fight, the fighters have a challenge.
The winner gets three people into the corner on fight night and the loser only the team captain. Also, the winner gets a luxury room the night before the fight and the loser gets a poor room.
- Really fast, David! - But after the challenge, things are getting out of hand.
There's some tension again between Chima and Denise.
I knew we were going to win. I knew this. I don't normally lose but it doesn't mean anything. You need to run in the ring tomorrow, you should have saved it.
We had packed because we said:
Let them win one challenge. Because then they know how it's the feeling because all the other challenges we won. We just want you to know how it was.
too much.
- But I think... - But I think...
What are you saying? What are you saying? What are you saying? What? What are you saying? Hey there. Get out of here. Get out of here. Because I'm little while watch out in the ring because my face is hotter than you. Oh, whatever. Whatever. Whatever. The problem, in fact, is the heart of neck. Well, the problem is in your fight that you have no defense. So, better watch out this Friday because you're gonna knock out.
- Shut up. - You shut up. - Every one minute. - Say, "Wow, wow, come on, you talk?"
How hot I can kick your ass? Guys, who's the one that's talking about?
I don't know. I don't need anything.
You are team captain with a big mouth. You guys beat each other up. Go after your doggy. Go. Go. Your boss is what? I don't listen. I'm just here. Your boss is asking you to come. So go doc. Go doc.
That's a good one. That's a good one. That's a good one. Go. Say fecky.
She can't play.
Okay, she said. Listen to what she said, man. Go, dog, go. Listen to what she said, man. I listen to you. I listen to you.
I swear to you! Go! Go! She was going for you! We have to listen to your boss! I'll see you. I'll just look at my friend who come from Belgium. See you good, man! I don't see you! Okay, no. Go, I'll see you, boss.
What are you still doing here?
Hey man, she's funny. She's funny. That's a good one. No, she's funny, girl. You don't want to follow your boss. No. And you don't even want to see. I'm good here. Do you like women? No, it's not good, man. I'm good here. I want to stay. Please, I'm okay for now on because you don't like women. You don't want to. Maybe you can go with me? Fuck off. Fuck him, Captain. I've said enough. I'm good. I'm good. Fuck you. Go out, man. We're not fighting each other. I can't fight you. Don't touch my team. Don't touch my team. Don't touch my team. No problem. Okay.
I don't think... - I don't think I'm going to fuck you, I stay here. Whatever, what's the problem? I stay here, I don't see anything. - Listen guys! I'm good! Who can speak with his... - We will say in the ring! It's your girl who talked to me! I don't talk! - No, no, no, no! Let me here! Don't talk with me and I stay here! Why the problem? We will see in the ring that's right. - That's not a problem! I'm still here!
Don't spend your energy, better...
- But we will see in the room this Friday. - Man, if you like men, you don't speak with a girl like this. You don't speak with her too.
- Come on, we will see Friday. - Come on. It's a good thing that Hux protects his captain. I like that.
It's about to go down, down, down.
Anyway, Sammy won the challenge, so he'll get a nice bedroom the night before the fight. A good night's rest is always important on the night before the fight.
This bedroom is really terrible. You really don't want to sleep the night in here. But the loser has to spend the night in here.
Oh.
This is a room for winner
-
Bye.
Jeez.
*sad*
*poof*
Sounds great.
-
Rest like a champion.
Thank you.
Fight like a big guy.
- Wow.
-
*throws*
I think it'd be more comfortable to sit on the floor.
Thank you.
It's about to go down, down, down.
Andrew Tate and Sami Massa.
The fighters are allowed to weigh a maximum of 85 kilograms. 85 .0.
85.0.
84.2!
84 .2!
Well, Andrew, what do you think about the fight?
What fight?
your fight
Um...
I think it's going to be easy.
I'm not worried at all.
- Serious?
Have you seen him? I haven't even watched him train. I don't know anything about him. Have you seen him?
No, I don't know anything about him, but...
You have to be a little nervous.
Not at all. Every fighter is a little nervous.
It's going to be easy.
But yeah, we lost the challenge against him.
and he looks very strong
in his legs
Poo.
Sammy.
from German.
Guy you fight to. Oh, is that who I'm fighting? Yes.
He doesn't look like anything. I'll beat him easy.
Well, I don't think that's gonna be easy.
I think it will.
He looks very strong.
Did you see him on the challenge?
I haven't watched any of his fights.
I'm not interested in how well he trains, I haven't even been paying attention. Yeah, okay, he won the challenge, but...
That doesn't mean anything.
He lost the challenge.
Does that affect you in any way?
in any way.
Affecting me how?
Well,
lose your confidence.
I am the best fire here.
I'm going to win infusion without a shadow of a doubt. I'm going to knock him out within
two rounds most, and whoever I have next I feel sorry for.
Well that's the right spirit.
That's why I picked you.
Do your own thing. Okay, round round do your own thing. And then I'm gonna see what's the best kick, what's the best punch and then I'm gonna use that much.
It's yours, I feel it. You can do this. You can win this. You 60KO in a line. So who is this guy from German?
Here is some other guy that wants to get KO by you.
You're much stronger Andrew, I knew. I know that.
No one can stop me now.
Andrew, the Cobra Tate, representing the United States of America, trains at the Storm Gym with Amir Subasic in Luton in England, but I tell you something, this guy, the Cobra, once he strikes, the venom in his punches are absolutely ridiculous.
And let me tell you something.
Team White won the challenge, Team Yellow didn't, so they only got one corner in.
One corner lady, I should say. One team captain.
Cobra, unusual style. He's won his last 15 by knockouts. Kieran, is it 16? - Yeah.
And there's been a lot of drama in Infusion, hasn't there? It has been very... Especially between these two. Yes.
And Andrew, you know,
Very confident.
His punches are very, very quick. It really does mean business, Tate.
- Go, go, go!
He started this round, you know, coming out.
there you go a beautiful right hand I told you didn't I the snake strikes as Cobra lands it comes from a full contact background it certainly does it's got an amazing jab when he uses it as well there's the right hand again I tell you what that's a great shot there from the Cobra strikes again from a Muay Thai background but the punches he can throw
A really big crunch, two knockdowns in the first round, Kieran.
Tastes impressing me.
- Hey!
There's the right hand from Tate. There's the right hand again.
Good shot there from Tate. He did save the second round. And Germany is out. 16-5.
16 knockouts.
Like his style or not, he does the business.
Yeah, you know,
throws shots from all angles and all that fighters can deal with that, but he's got a venomous
Cobra-like punch.
And he promised a KO in round two and he delivered.
My friends, please send your word in peace.
- Thank you.
And in the second round of this contest, the factor in the red corner, as honey moves can tell you. Ladies and gentlemen, your winner are by KO in the blue corner! Well, there you go! What a performance by the Cobra!
See? Nobody will up with me. I have to do this on my own, everything on my own.
Fuck, in the last one, slow knock out.
The last one I could stand up. What's the problem? Why are you so mad? Nobody warm up, warm up. Maybe I have to do all by my same. I came in the ring and was like, "I'm fighting." So, you see?
Nobody helped me. I helped everyone the whole time.
Nobody would want to be. The last one was no knockout.
- Thank you.
Please tell me. Congratulations, first of all. Thank you. I reckon you're very happy with your work.
- Performance? - No, I wish I finished him in the first. I put him down twice. At that end of the round I was unloading, and I decided, oh fuck, I'll wait 'til the second. I didn't wanna keep.
I could have kept going in the first round, just punching, punching, punching, punching, but I knew I was well ahead because I knocked him down twice so I thought I'd wait until the second.
So, that was a no rush. And the last one, I slipped and I was down and I go up and he said it's over. Yeah, I'll have another knockout. This is my 16th fight in a row knockout. Every time I win it's KF. Every time. If I hit someone they fall over. It's another knockout next time. Watch.
You can play this bit of footage after I knock him out. I'm telling you. But I can say you're a man on your work because we qualified your promising team, Captain. Don't worry, I'm going to knock him out. Knock him out and I told everyone second round. I told everyone second round KO. That's what I've been saying the whole time since I've been paired with him.
Yeah, but how come?
Where do you get this confidence?
Just winning.
winning over and over and over again every style I fought boxing MMA, Kyokushin Karate, kickboxing and I always win.

dot com.
It's about to go down, down, down.
Absolutely, I'm here for me.
Everyone's here for themselves and that's the way it is. There can't be a team winner. One person wins. I really like Andrew Tate, who represents the USA. Andrew just doesn't care what anyone thinks. If he's got something to say, he'll say it. To me, that's the way I am.
I really like Andrew. I'm representing the USA and I'm quite proud of that. Most of the talented fighters, even the talented kickboxers and strikers go straight into MMA in America. MMA is much bigger. I have had MMA fights. I've done very well in MMA, but I've still stuck with kickboxing because I believe in it. I like it as a sport. I think it's more entertaining. There's no ground game. All the things I don't like about MMA, I love about kickboxing. So I'm here to prove that we can fight.
Everyone knows America can fight. We've got the best boxers. We've got some of the best MMA fighters. They know we're ready to fight. So...
It's just a different medium I'm doing it in.
I have full confidence in Adnan, but if he doesn't put the work in,
Andrew is a phenomenal competitor. He's going to take advantage of it. Andrew Tate, I call him Superman because he's a great guy. His punches are so hard and so fast for his weight. And I think that this is going to be his 17th KO.
If he thinks he can outbox me, I welcome him to try and outbox me. If he wants to say to me,
Come on, let's box. I'll knock him out anyway. There's no way this guy can beat me. He's just trying to convince himself he can. I was talking to him all the time. I didn't... With Polen guy, it was different. We were, you know, there was a little bit...
hate between each other now
With Andrew, no. We were talking last night. We were out together talking. We're going to fight. Who is better wins?
This is a sport of egos and I don't care what anybody says, I'm a nice person, I'm sure everyone else is a nice person, but you do not get in the rain and you're not successful unless you have an ego.
That's the way it is. There's no reason anyone would do this sport.
unless they had an ego. It's too difficult. The training is too difficult. It hurts too much. The cutting weight is too difficult. There are so many other sports out there which can gain the same prestige so much easier. This is a sport for men and that's the way it is. I've got an ego. He's got an ego. If he doesn't like my ego, he gets to fight me. That's the great thing about it. But when I knock him out, he has to be quiet because...
That's fighting. I was very surprised about Andrew Tate, especially being American.
and doing this well as he does. So I expect to see more of him also in the future.
I think Andrew's going to, I think that's going to knock him out. I think it's going to end in CA.
.
Okay fighters, the first one to the top is the winner. - Okay, are you ready? - Yeah.
Okay, three, two, one.

- Go!
- Go, go, go! - Run! - Run! - Go, go, go!
Come on! Come in there! Run! Go, go, go! Go, go, go! Come in there! A victory for the yellow team. Yay! Yes! Yes! Yes! Okay, congratulations. Thank you. To you too. Yeah, thank you. Adnam, you're fortunate you lost. You know what it means. Yeah, no worries.
It means only your coach, you sleep in the bathroom. You are the winner. Yay! Good job.
Glad to get a proper bed before the fight this time. Andrew's a very talented fighter. Great shape. Obviously, we see that. Good experience, but...
Adnan's tough too, so I got high hopes for my guy. - Yeah.
This brings back bad memories for Adnan.
Don't want to sleep here man.
It's about to go down, down, down.
Time for the weighing.
It's not stupid.
*laughs*
Yeah.
Thank you.
84.7.
Thank you.
- Cool.
I'm not.
- What?
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
85.2.
85 .2.
Andrew, you're overweight. You've got one hour to get down to the correct weight.
No problem.
85 kilos is the limit.
-
It's about to go down, down, down.
The good thing about Infusion is also that the fighters respect each other after the fight.
Sammy's helping Andrew now with his shoes. They fought in the first round.
Adnan is being prepared for his fight.
Yeah, musical chairs. Denise is also preparing her fighter together with Michael.
Thank you.
- What the? - What the?
And now ladies and gentlemen in this quarterfinal bout, let me first of all introduce to you in the blue corner. He comes to the ring after his second round KO win over Germany's Sami Massa in the last round of fights from the yellow team and representing the United States of America. Ladies and gentlemen please put your hands together and go absolutely wild for Andrew King Cobra Payne!
Let me tell you, the King Cobra enters the lair, and this guy,
has, listen, this guy has je ne sais quoi. This guy is absolutely confident, sublime skills. He's had 16 fights, 16 knockouts, and when he touches you on the chin, it is goodbye. After his points win over Poland's Peter Lapuc in the last round of fights from the black team and representing Bosnia,
Bad Boy O'MA RIGIES!
Ladies and gentlemen, this is Vista Vlada.
Oh, Ramagey! And I tell you something, if he fights the way he did against Peter Lupe, Lupe, Lupe, Lupe, Lupe,
from Poland, he's gonna be in trouble. That fight was, let's say, not the best.
Let me tell you something about Andrew Tate.
Andrew Tate's arrogant...
His brush?
He's bold, he's confident, but the speed of the King Cobra, venomous when he hits. He knows what to expect.
Tate.
Please set.
that
He wanted to win in the first round.
and predictions go he did predict a second round knockout against Sammy Massa which he did yeah and to be honest every single prediction Tate has made
It's been completely true, but the Bosnian very, very strong...
Good Muay Thai skills!
This is gonna be very interesting round one here on infusion. Oh
Nice side kick there from the unusual style. Unusual, awkward but you know very effective. Look at the focus of the cobra.
Very nice high kick there from Tate. Good front kick as well from him.
There's the speed of the Scobra!
there's the right hand the jab of Andrew Tate very very sharp as well he has a very good jab when he uses it a nice high kick there from the Cobra
Wobbles the legs of the man from Bosnia!
Let me tell you ladies and gentlemen, his style may not be as Muay Thai, but let me tell you, this kid is dangerous. He's very powerful, watching him training earlier. Oh, it's over. Vinny, it's over. A win in the first round for the King Cobra! A great performance!
That was a hard shoot. Wow! I'll tell you something. 17 fights.
17 knockouts
A big smile from the brash and arrogant snake, but let me tell you...
Another victim!
Feels the poison of the King Cobra!
He strikes!
And he does it again. The smile on the Prince Nazim Hamid of kickboxing Andrew Tate. A big star in the making.
Again please, ladies and gentlemen, your appreciation for both fighters.
And after 45 seconds of round one, the fighter in the red corner are unable to continue. Your winner from USA, Andrew, King Cobra T.
Fools!
to the reptilian!
Andrew Tate, what a great performance. 17 in a row, Vinny. 17 knockouts in 17 fights. This guy's on a roll. And if you're underestimating, boys...
If he touches you on the chin,
It's going to be goodbye. Great performance. - Yeah, absolutely. - Commiteration to Adnan Butt.
The yellow team again.
Moving forward.
Andrew was in 17 K.O. and I call him Superman and he's really Superman. He's in the locker room, he's so motivated, he has no stress, he's relaxed and he has so much self-confidence in himself.
I think that Heck and Andrew are the finalists in this tournament and the best in this tournament. So I'm looking forward to it.
Oh, that's a frustrating one. I can understand. We had a good strategy and he started it and took him a second. Andrew came out again with some good push kicks, good, nice, strong, single skills with his punch and his push kick and his low kick, or his high kick, sorry. And it turns out the high kick is what kicked Adnan in the eye and kind of swelled shut. He told me he thought his eyeball fell out. He couldn't see anything, so he couldn't continue, unfortunately.
like I don't want to fight anymore and then I saw I say to Andrew go go pressure pressure pressure and then he gives up it was no it was nothing stupid in his eye he don't want to fight anymore so that's that's excuse I think he was scared from the first second he was scared of Andrew so that's a stupid excuse Andrew with my gelasers on your win
Thank you.
you are...
You promised us a KO?
How? Well, you know, I came here to knock people out. I wouldn't fight if I couldn't knock people out. I don't like long fights. I'm supposed to fight 12 rounds. In my profession, I'm a karate fighter. I fight kickboxing, so it's usually 12 rounds. And I'm not staying there for 12 rounds. I knock people out instead of five rounds every single time.
I was here to KO people and that's what I've done. I knew my style is orthodox.
I knew people would find me tricky, I throw sidekicks, I throw a lot of stuff that people aren't used to.
and it's paid off, you know, I'm here to fight.
- Thank you.
How was the build of the fight? Because I wasn't there to witness it, but how did it start? Did you explain it? It started, I side kicked him in the stomach, then I threw a high head kick, left leg, I threw all my kicks off my front leg.
Just keep his hands up, side kicked him again. I saw there he had no breath left. I came in, hit him with a left hook, then a right kick to the head.
Hit him in his eye. He said his eye was hurt.
I think it was his body to be honest. After those two sidekicks I saw him puffing. So either way he was done. It's a good thing he didn't carry on because I would hurt him badly. That was your technique from the beginning?
My technique from the beginning was to hurt him, and to knock him out.
I'm not there to play. I don't believe in playing around. I don't believe in taking my time. I don't believe in choosing shots.
I've got knockout power in every shot I throw.
I know I'm quick, so I land my shots and I win. I was there to KO him.
I did my best and it paid off.
Were you in any moment of the fight during the fight? Were you any moment in danger? I don't think I was in danger at any point. I know I never have my hands up, but I never feel in danger.
I don't have my hands up on purpose, it's the way I train, it's the way I fight.
plenty of people in fact
My last 40 opponents have thought, "Oh, his hands are down, he'll be easy to hit," and all 40 have failed, so I'm doing something right.
Congratulations on your
Finale, like...
.
The road to the semi-final for Richie Hocking.
I don't want to discredit the guy,
I think to him this is a sport.
It's something that you do, you have a fight, it's a hobby, and then you go home afterwards and everyone's friends.
I don't think about it this way. To me this is war. I'm there to be in the most devastatingly as possible. I'm there to hurt people.
It's going to be a short fight. I'm going to knock him out.
first round. My prediction for the men's tournament
It's a...
- Thank you.
.
Ritchie.
I'd like Richie to win but I think Andrew might have it just because of his confidence.
I don't care who wins, I'm prepared to fight either. In fact, I hope Hack wins, I want to fight Hack again. So, Hack may win if he keeps the pressure on, the Sylvanian kicks and hits hard, so Hack will have to absorb some damage and then he has to deal with me for three rounds. I'll be fresh because I'll just put Rishi away.
I think it'll probably be me and Hacken the final. Yeah, Mel, it's really hard to predict a fight, especially with it being a tournament with the last four fighters. But obviously, you're going to win, so...
I predict for the final fight out of the males it will be Sahak and Andrew Tate.
It's about to go down, down, down. The system that the fans have been waiting for. Last 16 elimination fights, an eight-man tournament with all fights during one evening. Back to the good old days. Three different weight categories the fighters share in the profits and pay-per-view. This label will be launched in January 2023. Don't miss it.
TKO.
dot com.
It's about to go down, down, down. There's the Scottish fans that have all come out to support Richie.
Should be action packed this. Andrew Tate representing the USA here in the tournament.
And Rich Hocking representing Scotland. Both big lads expect some action from the off, 85 kilos, means they land some on you, they're either going to feel it.

And now, the team is number three, fighting out of the Red Corner.
USA, Andrew Tate!
Here comes Andrew Tate from the USA.
Yeah.
goes under the name King Cobra. Let's see if the Cobra can strike against Richie Hawking from Scotland.
Very confident individual, Andrew.
comes with a great record and I've got to say a great knockout ratio as well
*music*
I can't even hold my heart, I can't even hold my heart
*Humming*
Series face on tonight from Andrew Tate.
Both lads look like the mean business now they're in there.
Let's see what can I pass it back over to Peter.
Introducing Fastly, fighting our North-Bee Blue Corner, is the Scottish, British and Commonwealth IOS KNA champion
representing Scotland, please make some noise for Ritchie off the telly! Ritchie Occhner, Scottish fans in the crowd. They're right behind Andrew Tate's corner, he's definitely going to be hearing them. And they're posting him, fighting her off the ring. Andrew Tate there, just stalking, he's not taking his eyes off Ritchie since he's got in the ring.
Please, Lord, the Reverend, the Lordy Andrew Latimer!
I'll do a kick over tape. Lots focused.
-
Yes.
Great knockout ratio, very accurate with them hands and legs.
See what can happen between these two now.
.
Both lads ready for action here. First of our semi-finals of the 85 kilo division for Infusion Live.
Go!
Takes that side kick, Ritchie focusing on him, leg kick straight away.
Like I said, these blads, 85 kilos, not from either of these two, they're gonna feel it.
Hey!
Richie there looking at slightly more Muay Thai stance there, looking to keep them knees. Taytons more kick-boxer stance. Looking at that fast lead leg that he sends up now and again. He's worked on them low kicks as well. Ooh, straight down, is that an eight count? That's an eight count, he's caught in there. I do take great knock-out record so far. I think it's only four of his victories have actually gone to points. Heavy hands, that right hook over the top again. Look forward to coming with them hands.
and very accurate.
Come on.
Second drop is there another eight count. Andriy Matto try and finish this in the first round. Minute and a half gone.
See if Fritchie can carry on, he's going to make the state count.
done.
He's finished, there we go, Andrew Stey, first two to the finals.
Short minute and a half of the first round.
Manning around, he's straight out the ring. Tate's gone, he's out the ring already.
Not even staying to get that hand lifted. See the slow-mo now.
Comes forward, left up, right up, flush on the chin. Straight past that left hand. Lovely shot, you're going to see it now again. Comes over, bang, boom, there you go. Lovely shot.
-
Go a looping shot over the side.
sent him down, second time he was down in that round
Andrew, you kept your promise. I'm ready to kill. I don't do this for fun. This is not a sport to me. I don't enjoy it. I hate training. I hate fighting. This is fucking war. I was born for this. I have no choice. I'm ready to kill. That's it. Pain. That's all I know. What about your last fight tonight? What's going to happen? I don't care. Put someone in front of me. Put someone in front of me. That's all I have to say.
- Sorry.
Went for a little mix up in round one.
and then got me with a handwriting.
I just seen black and my sight came back.
First favourite one of the days in Czech, we'll start at the C-Stars.
said nice
- So many friends?
So I spoke with him, what happened?
I thought something was me this time.
The road to the semi-final for Fransi Greisch.
Thank you.
The road to the semi-final for Sahag Paparian.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I think I'm the favourite because at this moment
I don't think somebody in 85kg can beat me.
I prepared as usual in Scorpion Gym.
I trained hard, so I'm ready.
We'll be right back.
From Slovenia!
to inspect
With Huck, to make good tactics, I move a lot.
So it went well. I expected heavier fighting. I don't know why, but I fight very bad.
I want too much.
Thank you.
I really want to move my arms.
Not only for myself but for other people. But maybe that's why I lose. I do too much. I don't know, that is freaky. But I need to...
I need to have tight guard.
and close the distance and then
You do my magic.
It's about to go down, down, down, down.
Good sidearm for both boys.
.
both looking focus both want this 30 000 this is the end of six months so this is
It's the Macedonia fights, it's the fights tonight, it's the fights they've had in between.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Go, Jimmy.
Salish goes. Round one!
the structure and the way that
Francie won that other semis and the power that Andrew Portsy has come forward, that right hand straight away.
That sidekick. Seems like I'll do anything against that sidekick.
Seems to work for you.
- Good night.
Come on, guys.
-
Testing with them high kicks, see what power's there. It's a very side on, which means there's still a lot of height in that right hand, and he flicks that left leg up so well with a high kick.
Francie working the knees slightly better than Andrew there, Andrew needs to get out of there and get back to what he's good at with the power of them kicks and punches.
Good left kick across the body there from Andrew. Putting the bite in there, good one-two combination to the body, come up round the top. Fancy working well there, sticking to a similar game plan as he did against that.
Good eye kick from Andrew.
Seems to have taken a bit out of Andrew there, that first minute, especially on knees, they can do. Hard knees to the midsection. Needs to base down, needs to close in straight away when he gets in that clinch.
smart five seconds in the clinch there before you was breaking it as we saw in them semis Andrew no needs to land one of them shots it's good night and he's still flicking away there with that getting to be still land they're still gonna hurt you can see there visually if you've got all the answers there those a short break Peter Lowe's answering all your questions there
You know, um...
I've always tried my best to
fight lots of different disciplines, boxing, kickboxing, MMA, etc.
That means that sometimes you make a few mistakes
in one discipline that you can get away with in others.
My head too low to avoid punches and I got caught, you know?
Fair play to him.
I'm not gonna take anything away from him.
I'm gracious in defeat.
I hope he enjoys it and I'll fight him again any chance I get, of course.
I'm a warrior and I'm here for one thing, so I'll let him have his moment in the sun. I'm not going to discredit him in any way.
Thank you very much.
