thank you Indiana’s minus 300 he’s in the black this is the most pressure and biggest fight Yanez has faced so far in the sense of all the nonsense going on around him it’s going to be a big experience factor for him to get through this fight John is Liberty and we’ll see how the composure holds up for Giannis who has been waiting a lifetime literally his entire life of training mixed martial arts when he started in kickboxing as a child his father passed away several years ago such an important figure in his life his longtime coach salsalis tragically passed away last year and then Janez became a father in December now what’s interesting about this fight is Kelly’s offense is generally his defense he doesn’t have like stand in front of you defense he’s got a move and be purely offensive with the strikes and we’re not seeing a lot of that yet from Kelly so it’s already uncharacteristic the way he’s fighting right now and Yanez it just shows how good his defense is and he’ll continue to show that throughout this fight I think that’s his best weapon I believe is his defense and the way that he stays economical with his style and you know Jane is trying to figure out his approach whereas Kelly’s kind of poking at him Kiana is normally is throwing many more Jabs early but right now he’s just kind of starting to gauge his distance understand how he approaches Tony Kelly because for Tony Kelly as much as people may boot him and not like him he’s an absolute killer and a really good fighter we’ve seen that on multiple occasions inside the Octagon one of the reasons we’re not seeing Jabs from Giannis is that Kelly’s coming out Southpaw and that stifles the jab so he’s got a lead with the hook Giannis wants to lead with the hook instead of the jab against the South Pole and that’s what you’re going to see him do over the top when Kelly goes to reach with that right hand you’ll see Jana’s adjust with the hook and he’ll also go to the body with that that was a nice combination there by Kelly he’s done that three times now where he throws the combination and he lands that front kick up the middle right afterwards there’s that body shine you’ll see Kelly’s going to be reaching for that left hand of Yanez and Jana is going to look to counter that with the left to the body and the left hook over the top of the jab I think that’s why Kelly South Paulo because he knows that Giannis has such great body shots almost a clash of heads as they come together nearly halfway through the first round he just had their moments Kelly’s using that left teeth kick as a jab while Giannis is using his jab and he’s transitioning to a hook both of them are making the right rings [Applause] that’s his best weapon is his left hand oh leader of the body Kelly still swinging back though we have seen Kelly do this where he’s been hurt and he put Randy costow you got to be careful Kelly is still dangerous this is starting to back up a little bit here that kind of forward pressure grabbing a hold of you throwing Jabs throwing hooks making it dirty that’s what Kelly has to do you can’t fight structural finally honest he’ll pick you apart Kelly knees buckled again together it’s taking his time and every time Kelly lands something you see Giannis hold it up oh fire back is the kicks Kelly may have to abandon those kicks because every time he throws it he gets countered [Applause] oh [Applause] right here [Applause] foreign extra on this one we haven’t seen him this meme but the Texans love it man what a fight and saw Giannis he fights like this every time he fought his fight but where you saw different was Kelly had to fight a different style to adjust to Giannis and you see the right hand he just got in between all the defensive Kelly Kelly basically could not defend the Precision striking and the accuracy of Yanez step by step he picked him apart he started with the left hook went to the body and once he started hitting the body he saw him chop Kelly down from that point on he’s just so accurate he barely misses look at all these shots connected Giannis just doesn’t miss your head if he aims well ladies and gentlemen the end comes officially three minutes 49 seconds round number one your winner by TKO Adrian foreign [Applause]
