04:03

scheduled for

04:05

five P van Zen's Corner seems to think

04:07

that Brook is fading away a lot of

04:10

composure in the corner of elbrook

04:12

though whereas there's a lot more

04:13

intensity in the corner from Paige van s

04:15

yeah in andout boxing is what they're

04:17

recommending for Paige and I agree with

04:18

that obviously with her reach now Paige

04:21

is soaking in that information very well

04:24

you can see she's really taking it in

04:25

she's really understanding and cognizant

04:28

oh throwing some bombs now's got to get

04:30

disciplined with a placement of her own

04:32

right hand defensively that left Hook's

04:33

been Landing out out no holding no

04:36

holding can we have the prime knockdown

04:38

of the night is that we're going have to

04:40

settle on if we don't get a KO here cuz

04:42

that would be the one L doing well with

04:45

shots to the body there but right now

04:47

just the volume of PA van is turning the

04:50

tide of this fight a little bit it

04:51

certainly is but you

04:53

know if people questioned if elbrook

04:56

belonged in there with Paige vanzan

04:58

before they're not questioning it

smothering combinations and pressure

05:48

from Paige right

05:50

now great combinations from her touching

05:54

her she just can't

05:57

miss I'd like to see Paige sit down on

05:59

those punches a little bit more

06:08

though I mean El Brook is only 26 years

06:11

old imagine if she sticks with this

06:12

06:14

years there was a huge uppercut just

06:16

06:37

I have PA winning this round right now

06:38

yeah absolutely I got Paige winning two

06:41

and four but L winning one with a

06:44

knockdown and three minutes left and

06:46

what has been one of the best fights

06:48

we've ever seen on Misfits the veteran

06:51

of UFC and bare knuckle pagee f s was

06:53

expected to walk right through Brook

06:56

instead it was Brook's right hand that

06:57

went right through vanzant's jaw and

06:59

round one and dropped her and now it all

07:02

comes down to

07:03

this P his Corner yelling at her how bad

07:06

do you want this they know that she

07:08

absolutely does not have this guaranteed

07:11

no they've got one clean shot on each

07:12

other of this round so far I mean if

07:15

Todd scoring is right even if Paige were

07:17

to win this it would be a

07:20

draw but you never know the judges are

07:23

not thinking the same things we're

07:24

thinking necessarily that's right I

07:26

don't know what they're thinking most of

07:27

the time you want to leave it all out

07:29

there in this round and go for it but

07:31

but the volume is all

07:33

page a damag Trump's

08:12

08:20

for Paige we have less than we have 25

08:23

08:26
