This is our 21st show in the series which will end with its 22nd show on NBCSN onNovember 8. It has been the greatest privilege of my life putting on a series like this. We got to build stars. We started building stars from the very beginning. It is fitting that it is going to end on the same day that Sergey Kovalev is fighting in the biggest fight of the year.  

 

Steve was already a world champion but we got the opportunity to introduce him to the United States because he fought mainly overseas. Now, he is on the front page of Grantland this morning.

This is the last show I am going to be at for this series. I am not going to be able to attend the last fight of the series because I will be at the Kovalev fight. It feels like high school graduation. It is bitter sweet and sad, but I am also excited about what is going to come ahead. I am also very proud of everyone who has worked on this series.    

 

This fight is no doubt going to live up to expectations. In his last fight, Steve put on the best fight of the series. It was about as perfect as you can get.

We began the NBCSN series here in this building. We developed Bryant Jennings, who took the fight on short notice, and (Gabriel) Rosado, who is now ranked among the best in his weight class. This will be our last fight of the series in Philly.

If it weren't for bad luck, Edner Cherry wouldn't have any luck at all. He hasn't lost a fight in years, he has been undefeated in eight fights and yet he can't get on television. He is ranked number 15. Just as he was set to fight Belmontes, last week Jerry gets hurt with a wrist injury. He was training for a ranked opponent and now he is fighting an unknown opponent.  

 

Natu is undefeated in ten fights with eight knockouts. He has everything to gain and nothing lose. He is probably going to outweigh Steve by about 60 pounds.

Nobody was out of it more than Steve Cunningham was in April against Mansour. Then he got up and dropped the other guy and came back to win. It doesn't get any better than that. If you weren't there, you wouldn't have believed that he got up and managed to win that fight.

Steve Cunningham

 

Thank you to Main Events, Russell Peltz, MHP, Everlast and Philly Boxing History. I want to thank everyone for their support for Kennedy's fund. I want to thank Natu's camp for donating to her fund. This sport is not as savage as people think. We are fathers and husbands. I want to thank Concrete Jungle and Brother Naazim. I think I have the best team in the sport. Naazim takes me to levels and pushes me where I didn't know I could go. Getting through training camp with him is a victory in itself.  

 

I am the smallest heavyweight in boxing right now. I wish my weight matched my heart! I am Philly to my core. I am born and raised here. This is not new to me. I am here to do a job and Natu and I can go get a beer after the fight. My career has been about relationships. After I am done, I will be back in boxing somehow. I was in the Navy -- you get orders and you have to carry them out. I got orders and I have to carry out this mission and defeat Natu on Saturday. My faith is what carries me.  

 

He's a big power puncher. He's big. I am a fighter. This is the third undefeated fighter I am fighting as a heavyweight. I am ready to fight. I am a fighter. I have been going through this with Kennedy for nine years. I want to stay active. I want to get back in there. I wanted another shot before the year was out and thank you to Main Events for making it happen.

I would like to thank Russell and Kathy for making this fight and Natu for his kind words. We appreciate it. Kennedy is what Steve wants to be when he grows up. Steve Cunningham is always in the danger zone. Steve is the lightest heavyweight in the division. That shows his courage. In the Mansour fight, I looked at my team and I was very confident. His corner has worked with championship fighters all over the world. Everything I have seen is a big strong hungry guy and that is a problem. This man can fight. He is a danger. Steve is always willing to face those kind of things. This is all he knows. This is what he's teaching. His son just won an amateur fight the other day. He's on his crusade. We thank you for the support and for giving us this opportunity. NBC has been a great series. I have seen [Edner] Cherry fight. He is a monster. We got a good card. Come out and see the essence of Philadelphia fighting.

I am honored and privileged to be here today. Thanks to Russell Peltz and Main Events. Steve is a world champion. I have nothing negative to say about him. I admire him. He is where I want to be. He's been eating from a good menu for a long time and I am hungry. Some guys need 30 fights before they would face a Steve Cunningham. A fight like this comes along and I jump at it. I have had a pretty rough career. It is a big risk for him to take this fight and I respect him for that. I am going to give Philly what they are coming to see. His fight with Mansour was my favorite fight of the year. I am looking to go to war.

I would like to thank Kathy Duva and Main Events. I would like to thank Russell Peltz. We are all children of God. The Cunningham family is in the toughest fight right now. I read about their fund. It shows the humanity and the spirit of this sport. I want to present Mr. Cunningham with this check. This is the most important thing - to help his family. They are going through a battle that is much bigger than two men in the ring. My father is sick in the hospital now; I understand what they are going through.

 

Freedom is not free. This is for the men and women who put their life on the line for our country. Thank a veteran, Veterans' Day is coming up. Show your support for his family. I say that from my heart.

 

Putting all that aside, Steve USS Cunningham is a great world champion and family man. I have a lot of respect for him. He is an honorable man. USS Cunningham has a lot of strength behind it. He is taking on a young rising heavyweight. He isn't coming in just to be on television. He is coming to win and coming to fight. It is going to be a tremendous fight for the fans. Cunningham is a true Philadelphian. He doesn't hide. They are going to mix it up. This is what fighting is about. This is a war and I am proud to be a part of it. Let's give Philadelphia a great show.

In November 2004, Paolo Presta's life was forever changed when Oprah's Wildest Dreams bus dropped in for a surprise visit at his family's grocery store. He was offered a speaking role on the TV series Will & Grace, launching the aspiring actor's career. Paolo has since gone on to host his own online talk show, A Spoonful of Paolo.

For years, Paolo has dreamed of sitting down with Oprah for an interview. He recently visited Harpo Studios and had the opportunity to chat with her about a topic they both know well: dreaming big.

"Wherever you are, the universe will rise up to meet you with the dream," Oprah says. "But this is the thing: The dream has to be a pure dream. This is the thing that people miss."

Watch Oprah go on to explain how to be in pure alignment with whatever it is you're wishing for.

In the main event of the afternoonn cruiserweights Thabiso "The Rock" Mchunu (17-1, 11 KOs) and Garrett "The Ultimate Warrior" Wilson (13-8-1, 7 KOs) faced off for the NABF Cruiserweight Title. The ten-round cruiserweight match-up between Mchunu's southpaw style and Wilson's wild style made for an exciting fight. Thabiso landed some clean shots and Wilson countered to no avail. The fifth round was slow with Wilson chasing down Mchunu and Wilson finally landing some shots. The ninth round started off with a bang, both fighters were trading big punches. The crowd began chanting for Wilson and the action started to pick up in the final round with both fighters coming out swinging. In the tenth, the referee deducted a point from Mchunu for holding, but it did not matter as Mchunu retained his NABF Cruiserweight Title with a unanimous decision victory (96-93, 99-90 and 98-91).
After the fight Mchunu said, "First of all thank God. Thank you for supporting me to all my fans in South Africa. My trainer, Sean, and my corner for getting me this victory smooth and easy. I would like to thank all of you for coming to the fight. I had it in mind it was going to be tough, really tough. It was as tough as I expected. He is a strong guy. I knew after three rounds it was going to be tough but then I nearly knocked him out. I knew it was going to be tough and I just can't go for the knockout. I knew it was going to go for the distance. I boxed him. I showed I can think in the ring. I'm smart. I'm fast and elusive."  He added, "I want the WBC belt, there is a guy from Poland [Krzysztof Wlodarczyk] who got it so I am going for him. After that I will fight the other guys like Marco Huck [current WBO champion] and [Yoan Pablo] Hernandez."

"He's fast. I didn't quite listen to my corner like I was supposed to. I dropped the ball on this one but even if he wins that world title, I ain't done," explained Wilson. "I will be right back. It is just the beginning. I may not have gotten the NABF this time but I am going to be back as long as he is willing to rematch me. I wasn't listening to my corner and I paid for it. His defense was pretty good. His defense was really good and I couldn't figure it out the way I wanted to. He kept leaning down and I kept ending up over top of him. I have been making adjustments and hopefully we get a rematch going on. I am going at that belt. Let's keep it going."
Mchunu connected for for 54% (105 of 195) of his power punches whereas Wilson only connected for 23% (54 of 231). Also Mchunu (53 of 211 for 25%) threw more than two times as many jabs as Wilson (18 of 108 for 17%). The total punch comparison also favored Mchunu (158 of 406 for 39% compared to 72 of 339 for 21%).

Karl Dargan

Starting off the live broadcast on NBC Fight Night was ten-round battle between undefeated lightweight Karl "Dynamite" Dargan (17-0, 9 KOs) and Angino "The Nightmare" Perez (16-6, 14 KOs). The bout started slow with both fighters feeling each other out. Dargan was knocked down in the second and got up with a couple of hard shots at Perez. Dargan knocked down Perez in the fifth but he managed to make it back to his feet. "Dynamite" made quick work of Perez after that and knocked him out with a face first fall a few seconds later to secure the Junior NABF Lightweight Title. Now the 29-year old Dargan has two belts (USBA Atlantic Coast Region Lightweight Title).

In the fight Dargan connected for 42& of his punches (71 of 170) whereas Perez only connected for 17% (38 of 230). Although both fighters threw nearly the same number of power punches (96 for Dargan and 87 for Perez) Dargan connected for almost twice as many of them (50 as compared to 27 for Perez) for 52% when compared to 31% for Perez.

"I knew he could punch and I knew he got power. He had about a 90% knockout ratio but I don't care who it is. He caught me with a good shot but I wasn't hurt. It was like a buzz. I got back up there. I guess he thought he could pressure me so I just basically lured him in," explained Dargan. "Him coming forward and me being able to step in the middle of it put more power on me. After the first knockdown my corner said just don't come straight for the head; go for the body because he doesn't really expect it." He added, "Of course I don't see anyone in my division I don't see why I can't beat them. I have the dedication so that I can go up against any of them. I use my ability when it is needed."

In a lightweight rematch Joseph "Chip" Perez (10-3-2, 3 KOs) and Agustine "The Dancing Jaguar" Mauras (6-0-3, 3 KOs) met for six rounds. Perez and Mauras' previous fight, back in July of this year, ended in a draw.  Both men started the fight aggressively. In this action-packed bout both fighters gave their all and the crowd was pumped to watch these two warriors battle it out for another brutal six rounds. Ultimately, the judges scored the bout 58-56 for Mauras, 58-56 for Perez and 57-57 for a split draw.
"I thought I fought more aggressively this time, explained Perez. "I thought I got the win both times. I am not taking anything away from him and I have nothing against him but I thought I got the win."
Mauras added, "We need an eight-rounder to make the determination. He came to fight and I always come to fight. I will fight him again or anyone else."

Barrera remains undefeated after his first fight with his new trainer, Abel Sanchez.
