:32:01
the WBC Middleweight Champion
of the World, is entering the ring.

:32:04
And what a hand
he's getting from the crowd.

:32:06
lt's overwhelming here.
He is lighting this place up.

:32:10
This is the one you wanted.
Don't feel him out.

:32:12
- Smoke this sucker! Let's go.
- He's nothing.

:32:15
- He has got a mission to accomplish.
- Hernandez is a fast starter.

:32:19
ln the early rounds,
it's necessary

:32:20
for Shaw to use his legs,
stay on the outside, remain elusive.

:32:24
- Look at me, man!
- He doesn't want a slugfest early on.

:32:27
There's no question about that.
:32:28
And we'll see what kind of fight
Hernandez brings too.

:32:31
Hernandez, of course,
has tremendous power.

:32:33
He's undefeated
in 30 professional bouts.

:32:36
And he really brings
a complete package into the ring.

:32:42
Ladies and gentlemen, this is
the moment we've all been waiting for.

:32:46
Twelve rounds of boxing
:32:48
for the WBC Middleweight
Championship of the World.

:32:56
And now, for the thousands
in attendance

:32:58
and the millions
watching around the world,

:33:02
let's get ready to rumble!
:33:22
- lt's sold out.
- Sorry, lady.

:33:26
Sold out.
:33:29
Here is the pride of Cleveland, Ohio.
:33:31
The undefeated challenger,
Lethal Luther Shaw!

:33:38
Luther! Luther! Luther!
:33:42
And fighting out of
the red corner...

:33:44
Listen to me.
:33:47
You stay relaxed.
:33:48
Keep your hands up and circle him,
you understand?

:33:51
All right, keep him turning. Every now
and then, touch him with a jab.

:33:55
All right? Now, don't worry
about his head.

:33:57
Hit him in the chest, shoulders,
arm, anywhere.

:33:59
That's all l want this first round.
Understand what l'm saying?
