Video summary

Press to jump

5:53Darren Rees opens the ringside broadcast with Michael Gomez Jr. and Owen Lavin at Manchester's AO Arena.
8:48Thomas Treiber introduces Angelo Dragone, followed by opening-bout opponent Tumi Phillips.
12:21The opening round begins with Dragone pressing inside and Phillips looking to counter with uppercuts and right hooks.
16:24The second round brings more inside exchanges and clinching as the commentators assess pressure against combination punching.

Dragone closes the distance. In the opening bout of DAZN Boxing's Buatsi-Hutchinson preliminary broadcast, Angelo Dragone pushes forward while Tumi Phillips looks for uppercuts and right hooks to answer him.

The headliners' names are on the upload, but this is the supporting card from Manchester's AO Arena, not the main-event fight. The stream has already drawn far more views than the channel's usual full first day for regular-length videos.

Darren Rees calls the action alongside boxers Michael Gomez Jr. and Owen Lavin. Their opening assignment offers a clear contrast: Dragone wants to crowd his opponent, while Phillips tries to make room for combinations. By the second round, the exchanges include plenty of close-range work and clinching.

There is boxing business at ringside, too. Gomez Jr. says a rematch with Louie O'Doherty is planned for early next year, while Lavin names the Cacace-Ball card in Belfast as his next outing.

Elsewhere on DAZN Boxing, a Short showing Bradley Rea knocking out Ezra Taylor is also drawing an unusually fast audience. And the channel's upload billed as "ROUND OF THE YEAR | Jaime Munguia vs. Nikita Zon" has passed a million views, a week after it was posted.
