Diego Pacheco vs Maciej Sulecki | Boxing | Full Fight | August 31, 2024

on I feel like I'd break him down and and get him out of there get The [Music] Knockout there are some scenes from yesterday's weigh-in ma sulei believes that this is his moment perhaps his final call if he can get a win here tonight he gets another shot at a world title he's had two chances before but came up short to Danny Jacobs in one of his fights ENT Demetrius Andre in the the other hello everybody night has fallen here in Carson California and that's kind of come alive hasn't it Gabe Rosado and Sergio Mora so many legendary fights here it's why they call it warrs uh proov versus Bradley jumps to mind Rios uh fighting Alvarado Vasquez versus Marquez Marquez what are the odds we're going to see something similar to that in our main event here between sheli and diegoo I think so I think we're going to see a banger because you know uh seli is going to test Diego and that's what Diego needs he needs that test to see if he can take it to that next level you've been in the gym with him you sparred with Diego beo in your opinion what does he have to do to beat the Polish fighter you know one thing he has to start off patient you know don't be overly aggressive because that's what selek is going to do he's going to try to take advantage of any mistakes that Diego's doing so just be patient in the first part of the fight establish that jab and then once you get into the rhythm of the fight apply pressure but but stay Pati in the first part of the fight apply pressure and be smart breaking that distance because look he's going to be the shorter Fighter by 3 in he's going to be by 11 in lacking in reach so he has to move the upper body and yes like you touched on uh Gabe he has a big right hand but he has excellent accuracy with it good timing with it he could Chopper you over the top he could punch you coming down or he can get you to the body right hook right hand's going to be key punch it in between the long arms of Diego p is going to be money that's what he's going to be looking out for and start off fast start off fast fast but smart that's I think how you get the respect out of Diego P quickly no one has been able to stop seli Diego pcho vows to do it tonight do you think he gets the stoppage win Ser I think he gets the stoppage win but it's not going to be easy and I don't think it's in the first half of the fight all right let's jump into our tale of the tape here we are live in Carson California there's a rugby match going on right next door by the way Canada versus the United States but we're all focused on this will we have another Sensational battle here at warrs peka only 23 years old forget that sometimes because he's been on the zone for years now we've watched his progress but this tonight should be the toughest

looked flat in that last fight but you know like just got married had the kids had had have a new baby so you know there was things that was going on that you know probably distracted him a bit but you know I think today he's going to redeem himself and come strong you know you talk about those distractions games they were so significant at least according to Jose benov senior that he consider canceling the fight couple of weeks before that fight happened so it was obviously significant dealing with they were readjusting to life with the new baby these days May the adjust as kid sleeping

here this is good still right here this is like the mat you want to touch glov do it now God bless Diego Pacho you can hear the ovation that he received here in Southern California Gabe you mentioned it he's got a a big entourage a lot of people around him they're all counting on him to come through tonight but it'll be very difficult against a man whose nicknamed God's Gift that's what his first name maek means as sulei has only been beaten by Daniel Jacobs and Demetrius Andre he's never been stopped here we go our main event Peko in the purple sulei in the white and red and you see seli right away already trying to close that distance significant height and a massive reach advantage in favor of Diego Peko his team says they want to use fs and they want to get inside and make this a fight the phone Boo and this is what I wanted to see from celeski start off fast put a put pressure go to the P he try to Loop the shot of the Ranger taller PCO yeah you know I think seli is walking him down like this cuz he wants pko to make a mistake you know get excited throw something big and see if he can coun Gabe you fought sui 5 years ago he started out great against you but you had an amazing comeback what's the key for Diego in these early rounds to avoid what happened to you you know the key is is to establish that jab keep that keep that Lee hand up and watch out for that sneaky right hand that seli has [Applause] pko says that he wants to utilize that jab foot angle body movement they want to work on a lot of stuff that they're going to need on the championship level we're seeing a little bit that a little bit of that now on the back foot letting seski come to him trying to set him up with that long rangey right right hand peo has been training in Seattle working out with Jose benitz and David benitz that's pretty good [Music] [Applause] [Music] scoring you know pko is doing exactly what I think he should do is just stay patient stay on the back foot jab jab jab I haven't seen no body shots from Pacho I would think that he would be zeroing in on the body of seski so seski was dropped in his last fight by Rody Montgomery with a right [Music] hook yeah squeak down a decision win did sui in that fight against a a journeyman that could have been a career Ender a disastrous loss but he did Prevail it's a nice jab right there by Diego yeah that's how you got to soften up you know you got to soften up with that jab don't let him get comfortable coming in and breaking that distance so easy make him pay for it not only that but he can luring him luring him with a with a straight right hand afterwards poo has a laser likee right hand he hides well behind that long jab and that's a good jab that Diego's throwing but he's dropping the hand low and sel's best punch is the right hand so you want to keep that you want to keep that lead hand up you don't want to drop it got to stop at the Bell gentlemen good left from seli he had a he's had a very good opening round a few left hooks around the [Applause] [Music] guard for [Music] forget about the head de body okay keep slipping keep spping we going to get him we're going to get him people going to be quiet after this okay good [ __ ] baby good round you know Sergio you talked about the left hook that saki was landing and this is what I brought up during the fighter meetings with the training staff of sui because that Keras fight koser's best punch in that fight was a looping left hook that P for whatever reason wasn't able to get away from and his team kind of smiled at me say you know that's the shot we're going to be looking for tonight too you know what manx you were talking about ceras earlier and that P was getting hit by kerz I actually thought dieo P had a great performance against CER whenever you're stepping up and whenever you're that aggressive you're going to get hit with shot P responded well to getting hit with those shots but still Clos the show getting The Knockout I guess the question is do you consider ceris that big a step up I I I didn't and you know I thought he got hit too much for fighting a guy on that level when you're that aggressive and that power seeking that knockout and power punch him you're going to get hit and yes it was a step for not a big one but it was in the right direction and so is this this fight with sui as well yeah Peko has called sui his toughest opponent boy but uh seli is fighting like it g he's off to a hot start yeah you know seli is targeting the midsection of Pacho he's throwing the straight right hand and the right hook a few times in his landed about four times in this round already and that and that kind of shot can open up a big left hook up top you know I understand the disciplined approach that Diego p is taking there is a part of me guys though that would like to see him sell out a little bit you go back that fight against no you go back that fight against Demetrius Andre what did Andre do in the first round against select he completely sold out and let his hands go and knocked him down in that first round I think overwhelming sui might have there might be some Merit to that strategy I don't think I don't think selling out is smart in the first two rounds Chris I think he will sell out after the fourth fifth round once he gets in the middle middle rounds I mean that's how I see this fight going and it and it differs when when uh Andrade did that Andrade is already an experienced veteran where Pacho is still learning he's still young and he's developing he doesn't have that experience that um Andre had starting to find a home though with that right hand yes he is I would love to see him just throw a straight straight right hand down the pipe without the jab surprise toy without [Applause] it there's the right hand that backed him up buto said it was going to be more of a slow burn in this fight during the interviews he said uh I hope he takes me into deep Waters but I'm going to start slow be a little cautious going to pick up my pace and I think I stop him in the mid to late rounds Ori he he only knows one way and that's the way he's fighting right now for a 6'4 fighter to stab the body of a shorter fighter that's impressive you know you have to bend down and be responsible by doing that but that that's going to set up straight right hands later on as well that jab right there just shook seli up good right hook by P that SEL as well [Music] we going to leave it the same way same way keep hitting this way but now when you start getting the shots here now you're going to stop throwing the hook you get here startop throwing the hook all right but the same way keep keep that defense nice and high block slip slip and the shot TI and the stomach for now later on we're going to pick it up a little more but for now that's what I want all right block slip slip the J got to stay busy arms and body later we pick it up okay he's nervous you can tell he's [ __ ] nervous you what I'm saying how you feel [Music] good Mo ja Mo ja beautiful two rounds a little more active so we could remember we're in California he California more Jabs out of celesy that's what they want more Jabs aim at the shoulders and the body forget and ignore the head right now chop down the tree slowly is what they want Sergio when you are the taller fighter that's a slip figher do you want to stay big I know earlier you mentioned he needed to drop down to land punches you want to alternate Todd you don't want to stay tall too long cuz you will get time you also want to get a little bit low you want to bend your knees and fight low good right hand there for seli who's pushing forward and he's looked better than I think a lot of people thought he would so far against P yeah he's starting off good and one thing that this corner told him is keep touching the body keep touching the body and then finish with a hook up top so let's look out for that [Music] shot you know one thing about seli when I fought him is he has like this jerky style where he's like he faints he faints and then next thing you know he throws a shot so you know that that that movement you never know when he's going to throw and he's really quick with the right hand it's it's so contrasting to P's style who just minimum movement he looks so calm in there yeah see like what's see look at that movement his hands are movement his head is movement side to side it's like you know he's never staying still he's never a Target he's got right hand big punch from Pacho best of the fight yeah he stuck snuck in a right hand before that too that right hand starting to become a pretty good weapon oh left there's that catching counter they wanted from sui catch and come with the same side he just doesn't have that one punch power does he G you know seli it's just it's not that he has power it's just that sneaky shot and the shot That You Don't See coming is a shot to get [Music] [Applause] [Applause] you seski opened up and that might have been a mistake yeah he felt that seli felt that he felt that but he took it well he took that shot right right right on top of that [Applause] head see this outside game I don't think it's going to do so well for celesi as the round goes on I think celeski is better off in the inside taking away the range from [Music] Diego see this is where seeli wants to be back in Diego up to the rope and applying the pressure we are at the warrs in California this venue is known for having some Blockbuster main [Music] [Applause] events going to stop at the B that's right no no no we're out of there two big right Hands by Pacho both of them with different timing one of them was long a little bit the other one was a little bit midrange range cannot wait for that one wimbley edition of Riad season Anthony Joshua and a suddenly resurgent Daniel du who looks Sensational in his last fight against animal and of course before that he stopped big baby Jerell Miller can he do the same to AJ will find out in front of close to 100,000 fans live on the Zone in 3 weeks Clash of knees right there that caused sui to buckle down but this is what I like about poo right there throwing around the guard he he should be concentrating on the straight shots because if he if he goes around the guard he's going to give a chance for sulei to catch en counter like they want him to like he attempted to do in that round and found a little bit success as [Music] well round four entertaining fight so far pcho though seem to start building momentum there in the third yeah you have to break down sulei I mean I expected this you know a fighter of his experience of his toughness of his strength you're not going to just go out there no matter how hard you punch you got to break him down and you got to do it with a with jab and movement and that's what P's [Music] doing no alternate that jab different speed different Power different torque and then surprise him with a straight right hand sneaky uppercut on the inside catching him with that uppercut nothing sneaky about that that was a clean uppercut on the inside for a tall fighter an extremely tall fighter Dango Pacho is an excellent body puncher and he throws lead uppercuts really well Diego's finding his rhythm and he's not missing at all with that straight right hand and he's not throwing combinations game and he's not setting the punches up it's one and done but you know what I think I think the one punch you know him jabbing jabbing and throwing that one shot right now it's too early it's early in the fight you don't want to throw combinations and allow zect to throw that counter the combinations I believe would be when the as the rounds go on careful careful come on come on pay attention pay attention pay attention you know that's the third or fourth time tonight that somebody has slipped on that center part of the Ring apron good sport good sportsmanship by Pacho now punching he could have easily punched when Cel celi was looking down for sure protect yourself at all times you would have punched I would have definitely punched Floyd Mayweather punched Victor so yeah you take what's given that's why they call him the snake snake circuit work big right hando again and that right hand is landing flush because the lead hand of seli he's starting to drop that lead hand and he's getting called clean BYO oh seli still punching in between the shots look Mao's going to have his hands full man I can see it already he's going to slowly break him down but it's not going to be easy like I expected s is a strong puncher smart strong [Music] puncher and he's been hurt a few times he's hurt by me find Dr but he recovers fast yes he does resilient and he has a hard hard head he must have a hard head because he gets hit with shots oh Big Shot landed fori and P went off balance for a second but now he gets one back and a KN of approval for both of these Fighters thank you thank you you got to take him a little deeper into the round you got the experience we got to take one let on the round then we're going to take them all right but beautiful beautiful work give him a little bit of water got to pay attention I can't save you like that stop yeah when it's slipping you don't stop like that cuz they going to hit you you know what I'm [Music] saying I told him to pay attention it's slippery [Music] he right here dieo just Landing flush with that straight right hand and that right hand's been money this whole round right here hook seli you know he throws a right hand it was really nothing on that shot go second down thank you all right pay attention huh pay attention great fight guys round five the czecho starting to open up more than he did in the early rounds just as he said he would yeah now now you could expect him to take a little bit more chances and sell out as you said Chris now now this is the time to do it in the middle rounds let's take a look at Chris mx's scorecard through four yeah I've got three rounds to one in favor of Diego Peko I thought SEI squeezed out that first round but since then it's been that right hand Diego Pacho as a major weapon in this fight Landing it clean 3-1 Diego [Applause] [Music] Pacho and if Diego's able to back seli up it's better for him seli doesn't fight well off the back foot [Applause] Sergio I believe your official pick on D Zone earlier this week was a six round stoppage for Pacho you still feel comfortable that'll happen I I I think he'd be catching with the right hand pretty soon yeah six or seven rounds I can see that [Music] happening but I'm impressed to select you I really am not only with his toughness his grip but it's game plan [Applause] and the way he's taking those shots that was beautiful he's got a game plan Sergio but it's reminding me now a little bit of Miguel Maraga in the last fight where experience and guile can help you survive but I don't know if it's going to help you win well P's Landing some I mean excuse me sel's Landing some flush shots but he just doesn't have the same pop that Pacho does you know P's Landing that big right hand I like to see him follow up with a big left hook little more body work too I don't think we've seen much of any body shots p no we haven't and I would think that's exactly what he would go for considering select was down in his last fight with a a right hand to the body seli got that Lee hand down and he's getting hit flush with the right hand he needs to keep that guard [Music] up nice right up cut it got caught that was a good shot nice little flurry here from buckled the knees and we might have to Lucky in some real trouble here in Carson California beautiful right hand right there so lucky a that up get out of get out hey maybe the sixth round is the [Music] round yeah we're close now we're close to the end but don't get over confident now breathe he's hurt you got him hurt don't drop your hands though be responsible breath breath yeah yeah yeah let's go and there's that right uppercut leaning for a TP fighter leaning hiding behind those big shoulders coming with that right uppercut rocking select in and going around the guard with the right hook this is not just a straight right hand puncher with a one and two he goes around the guard looks for the body shot and there going over the top with the looping long shot well a lot of guys have had sulei in trouble they put him down but no one has been able to stop him can Pacho be the first what it was good advice by Benitas he said don't get overconfident cuz that's when you make the mistake with seli you get overconfidence and he can throw something and hurt you stay sharp no I love the I've Loved what I've been hearing from Benitas in the corner he's been saying everything right and Poo's been following everything to to a t P's landed 10 more power punches and thrown much less 30 less the only thing I would like to see more from p is just body shots other than that I mean it's it's it's a it's a solid performance right now that I'm enjoying the body shot right on time to the liver I don't know if he's going to make it up he's not getting up he is not getting up n it is over Diego Pacho back on The Knockout train as he picks up the 18th of his Sensational young [Applause] career and seli is still down on the ground that body shot hurt Sergio called it round six knockout winner for Pacho absolutely what a performance the crow loved it everyone on their feet Diego Pacho is back you know seli didn't expect that body shot cuz Diego kept Landing that right hand up the top constantly constantly and that left hook to the liver man that's the one to get you for Canelo Alvarez Edie said he it's too early for that fight for him but if it's offered to us we might have to take it search it what happens if he fights Canelo oh man it's too early I wouldn't want to see that just yet but listen berlanga too early for him and he's getting the paycheck so why not Diego Peko wants it darl Peko gets it well speaking of whom there he is Canelo Alvarez will face Edgar berlanga live on the zone two weeks from tonight can the young Puerto Rican pull off the stunner and beat Canelo on Mexican Independence Day weekend and there's his baby girl he already got boxing gloves on you know man P started off well started smart jab and Jab and once once he establish that jab then the big right hand start coming behind it serg asked for the body punch and as he asked for and he got it that was a wrap let's make it official with David damont ladies and gentlemen referee Ray Corona calls a halt to this contest the official time of the stoppage 54 seconds of round number six declaring your winner by knockout from South Central Los Angeles California he's still the WBC USA and WBO International Super middleweight champion Diego PCO [Applause] [Music]
