[Music]
towards lots of energy here from both
girls looks like she belongs there at
the start of this fight though she
certainly
does right hand from
VanZant combinations of vanzan starting
to show a difference here
yeah the jab can make all the difference
in the world oh nice right hook there
short Right Hook from L we got five
rounds to work van Zan has a 2in reach
Advantage she does she she didn't oh put
her with a oh my
goodness ladies and gentlemen we have a
war pig man hand starting to land that
right hand find her
range Paige definitely looking like the
much bigger fighter here she is and she
had some trouble with her white cut
coming into this nice left there for
brooklands but she ate a punch at the
same
time L doing a good job with her
footwork though moving
well everybody has to know that this
fight shouldn't be close and El's making
it look better than I think a lot of
people would have expected keep in mind
only two minute rounds here for
women can you imagine an influencer is
fighting Paige vanzan and going Toe to
Toe with her and this is what I said
[Applause]
the
unbelievable and that was the question
that we had does elbrook have the power
to put down Paige man an and she just
answered that question my goodness that
was the same shot that put Alexia Grace
away can El follow it up Paige vanan
doesn't know what hit her hi what a
moment something from L we have to see
is she has to remember to maintain those
fundamentals keep doing what you were
doing keep doing what was successful
nice left hook from
Paige there back
back here from Paige yeah this arena is
still shell
shocks it's one thing to do well against
paig van but to drop her in the first
round if she threw another big heavy
shot left hook lands clean for paig
Van El's holding on now she's
hurt what a fight so
far takes another shot what a fight this
is I tell you El Brook has improved so
much every single fight she caught her
with right hand again L needs to find
the way though she's been hurt a little
here she needs to recover while still
staying in the game what a fight back
and forth for these two ladies they're
putting it all on the line aren't they
there's no question we said they earned
this Main Event slot and there is no
question about
it couple nice Jabs from L this is a
close round
guys I'm almost speechless this is such
a good fight
fight so here we are round three
scheduled for
five P van Zen's Corner seems to think
that Brook is fading away a lot of
composure in the corner of elbrook
though whereas there's a lot more
intensity in the corner from Paige van s
yeah in andout boxing is what they're
recommending for Paige and I agree with
that obviously with her reach now Paige
is soaking in that information very well
you can see she's really taking it in
she's really understanding and cognizant
oh throwing some bombs now's got to get
disciplined with a placement of her own
right hand defensively that left Hook's
been Landing out out no holding no
holding can we have the prime knockdown
of the night is that we're going have to
settle on if we don't get a KO here cuz
that would be the one L doing well with
shots to the body there but right now
just the volume of PA van is turning the
tide of this fight a little bit it
certainly is but you
know if people questioned if elbrook
belonged in there with Paige vanzan
before they're not questioning it
anymore the I mean the level of
experience differential here is
unbelievable and she's hanging in there
too the more aggressive Let Her Go Let
Her Go Power punches are coming from
Brook that CH
again con her again Big Time stuff from
El Brook she may have nicked that round
too
Yulie Poco wants a
crack well she already had a crack Let
Her Go Let Her
Go Out Let Her
Go these women are proud quick little
right hand on the inside from Mel Brook
under a minute to go here in the fourth
smothering combinations and pressure
from Paige right
now great combinations from her touching
her she just can't
miss I'd like to see Paige sit down on
those punches a little bit more
though I mean El Brook is only 26 years
old imagine if she sticks with this
sport how good she'll be in two or three
years there was a huge uppercut just
landed there from Paige van elbrook took
it well you starting to see some blood
running down the nose of
her very close fights here stoping St
holding Paige really needs these next
two rounds
if she's going to win this
[Applause]
fight who do you have winning this round
I have PA winning this round right now
yeah absolutely I got Paige winning two
and four but L winning one with a
knockdown and three minutes left and
what has been one of the best fights
we've ever seen on Misfits the veteran
of UFC and bare knuckle pagee f s was
expected to walk right through Brook
instead it was Brook's right hand that
went right through vanzant's jaw and
round one and dropped her and now it all
comes down to
this P his Corner yelling at her how bad
do you want this they know that she
absolutely does not have this guaranteed
no they've got one clean shot on each
other of this round so far I mean if
Todd scoring is right even if Paige were
to win this it would be a
draw but you never know the judges are
not thinking the same things we're
thinking necessarily that's right I
don't know what they're thinking most of
the time you want to leave it all out
there in this round and go for it but
but the volume is all
page a damag Trump's
volume every time El Brook has connected
just like down goodness she Sly is doing
herself and what a warry of pages as
well I mean the stamina the fitness the
cardio is all
there L might be tiring a little bit
you see the composure really showing for
PA vanand right now good left hand on
the inside for
vanand she needs this round I got you no
punch usually experience begins to shine
even brighter in the late rounds and
that's what appears to be the case here
for Paige we have less than we have 25
seconds left of this fight it's been
absolutely phenomenal is there going to
be one final statement from either
fighter there's a another one my
[Music]
goodness those short uppercuts as well
no damage but the volume she's scoring
on those
and Let Her Go Let Her
Go does l have a final answer back there
we go what a battle ladies and
gentlemen judge Joseph
Rodriguez scores the B
47- 47 this is a split draw oh my God
you can see it
coming that is insane I think that this
is the makings for an amazing Trilogy oh
no honestly I said it would be a tough
fight the whole the whole Camp I knew
how tough she was I took the fight for a
reason I was excited I watched her past
fights I knew it'd be tough um it is
what it is it sets up the perfect
rematch obviously you just said you want
the rematch do you see yourself here in
misfitz long term yeah I signed a
multi-fight contract for a reason um so
yeah it looks like we're going to do it
one more time I think in Dubai it sounds
like well I think that everybody would
look forward to that L obviously you
retain the title in a draw as the champ
do you think you did enough for the draw
tonight I mean it's one of those things
you have to rewatch it because in there
you're getting hit but you're also
hitting so it's like I don't think I'm
experienced enough to think yeah I'm
100% winning this but with the knockdown
I can see me winning it but I have to
watch it back and I was just say a page
like man we get a big money rematch like
this is perfect
