0:02:50 > 0:02:52- They wouldn't put me - into this fight...

0:02:55 > 0:03:00- Gavin Gwynne has a perfect record - - fought seven, won seven.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- Henry Janes has found it - more difficult.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09- After a six-year break - following a shattering blow...
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- ..he's back in the ring...

0:04:32 > 0:04:37- Travellers have to do things - twice as hard to get somewhere.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43- We wake up in the morning shivering, - that's how we were brought up.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- Since that age, we've watched - really hard men fight...
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- ..bare knuckle fighting.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- In the gym, we've got good boys. - I've got my sons here.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- They're always fighting - so we teach them in the gym.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01- If anyone picks on them, - they can fight for themselves.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03- We believe in that.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- Gavin Gwynne, don't get me wrong, - he's fast but he's not hard.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10- He's proved a lot in the gym.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- He's sparring Lee Selby, - he's sparring World Champions.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- We're not guys who have - handpicked fights and dieticians.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- The way we were brought up, - it's about heart.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- He'll cut him down - and go through him.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50- Looks like Gwynne - is facing the whole family!
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- You'd think so from that clip.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Gavin Gwynne faces - a major challenge.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Henry Janes - is an experienced fighter.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- He's fought more fights in the ring.
0:06:04 > 0:06:09- A lot of boys in local boxing clubs - can't separate these two.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- This is going to be a close contest.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16- You've fought both in the past. - Can you call this one?
0:06:16 > 0:06:17- It's going to be close.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- It's hard to separate them.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24- Henry Janes is 34. This will be - his final shot at the title.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25- He's coming to win.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- Gavin Gwynne is fresh, - he's had seven fights.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- He sees this fight - as a stepping stone.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- It's going to be exciting.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- They're both fighting - for the Welsh title.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- Gavin Gwynne's team, including - Tony Borg, has looked after him.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- Have they been - over-protective so far?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- He hasn't fought any big names...
0:06:47 > 0:06:52- ..and this title fight is timed - perfectly as a step up for him.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- Merthyr is known - for raising giants of the sport.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- One of its most famous sons - was Howard Winstone.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10- Boxing wasn't in his blood, - unlike many other boys from Merthyr.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- He fought well as an amateur...
0:07:14 > 0:07:19- ..but lost the tops of three fingers - on his right hand in an accident.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- He continued to win and win.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27- The Commonwealth Games title, - in Cardiff, in Wales, in 1958.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- No Welshman had won a gold medal - but on that final night...
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- ..Howard Winstone - won the gold medal.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- A year later, - he turned professional.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- He was coached by another - Merthyr hero, Eddie Thomas.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- The Lonsdale Belt, the Welsh title, - the British title...
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- ..the Commonwealth title, - the European title.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55- In 1965, he fought for the World - title against Vicente Saldivar.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- A heroic defeat - and a rematch on home ground.
0:07:59 > 0:08:05- 25,000 supporters at Ninian Park, - Cardiff City's football stadium.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10- All the Welsh were confident - of witnessing a Winstone victory.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- The referee stepped in - and faced Howard...
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- ..but then he turned to his left.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21- Vicente Saldivar - was crowned once again.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27- A third loss to Saldivar followed, - but there would be one more chance.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- It's my last chance. - I've got to make the best of it.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- Howard Winstone won the world title - against Mitsunori Seki.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- It was a resounding victory.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- Winstone is Champion of the World - at last.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47- He deserved that title - after battling for so many years.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57- Earlier, Rhys said this cafe - had a long boxing tradition.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- That's reflected in some - of the photos on the wall.
0:09:01 > 0:09:07- Howard Winstone and Eddie Thomas - are prominent in this collection.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- Tickets for their bouts - could be bought in this cafe.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15- It's fair to say - that few women boxed in those days.
0:09:15 > 0:09:21- One female boxer making a name - for herself now is Ashley Brace.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26- Tomorrow, she's fighting - for the European Bantamweight title.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Here's a quick look at her opponent.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- The main title fight in Merthyr - will be tight...
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- ..between the 12th and 15th - world-ranked bantamweight boxers.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- The two come from similar - backgrounds in another sport.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52- I started boxing - because Mam worked in the gym.
0:09:52 > 0:09:58- First to defend myself - and then to compete in kickboxing.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04- I've joined Toni Moreno's team - in the gym in Castellbisbal.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- This is where Marc Vidal (European - Featherweight Champion) trains.
0:10:11 > 0:10:18- Until now, few women have - fought in Spain, but recently...
0:10:18 > 0:10:26- ..women have played a more prominent - role and numbers are increasing.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- Following the controversial - referendum in October...
0:10:31 > 0:10:35- ..there have been clashes between - pro-Independence supporters...
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- ..and the Spanish police forces.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- Has this hampered preparations?
0:10:41 > 0:10:46- What happened here recently - is out of the ordinary...
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- ..but it hasn't affected - my training.
0:10:51 > 0:10:59- I haven't been part of the - political events in the country.
0:11:00 > 0:11:08- Her strengths are her perseverance - and stubbornness.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12- She has not shown any weaknesses.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- I've fought for a title - in the past, the WBO.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- I lost the bout on points, - so this time...
0:11:22 > 0:11:29- ..I'll make it easier for - the judges and take the title.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- Ashley Brace is a hard boxer...
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- ..but, like me, - she only has two fists and legs.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41- What do you now about Wales?
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- That it's extremely cold!
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- The girl from Catalonia - didn't reveal too much...
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- ..and who can blame her - before her visit to Merthyr.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03- After the break, we hear from - the Storm herself, Ashley Brace.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- She's on her journey to the top.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10- Tomorrow is another fateful night - on that journey...
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- ..here, in the South Wales Valleys.
0:12:13 > 0:12:13- .
0:12:17 > 0:12:17- Subtitles
0:12:17 > 0:12:19- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:12:20 > 0:12:21- Welcome back.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- The women's European - EBU bantamweight title...
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- ..will be handed to either - Ashley Brace or Melania Sorroche.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31- This is an ideal fight - for the occasion.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- I'm fighting for the European title - which is massive.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45- I've got the WBC International belt, - which is not up for grabs.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49- It's a different fight, - this European title is vacant.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- We're both lucky enough - to have this opportunity.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59- I did ask for three minutes - for this fight.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- I think I can do more - than two minutes.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- I think some of my fights - would be stopped earlier...
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- ..if it was three minutes.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- Just down to me doing the same - as the boys in the gym.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- I have a tough sparring partner.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- I've been coming out - like if I've had a fight.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- The next day I am aching - which is fantastic.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- I couldn't have had better prep.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- In addition to throwing her weight - around in the ring...
0:13:30 > 0:13:36- ..the Ebbw Vale girl is also - a teaching assistant in Tredegar.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38- They love that I box.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42- Sometimes they take advantage - and say, "She can take it!"
0:13:42 > 0:13:46- To be honest, - they're quite respectful towards me.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50- What does Brace expect - from her experienced opponent?
0:13:50 > 0:13:55- It's going to bring fireworks - and that's what I like to box at.
0:13:55 > 0:14:00- She's not going to try and hold - and do the stuff other boxers do.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- My last opponent wanted to hold, - didn't want to fight.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- She wanted to stay alive - for her next fight.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11- This girl will come and she's - going to come and try to win.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- The difference between our styles - is that I can box now.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20- Psychologically she's strong, - strong willed, she trains hard.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25- She's sly and spiteful rather - than getting into a tear-up.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29- My best fight was in the Rhondda. - I fought No.6 in the world.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- I boxed her head off. - Sometimes you need to box.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- You need to throw a good jab - because they open the shots up.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- You need to pop them shots in - to take them down.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45- She can win the European title - and go on to bigger things...
0:14:45 > 0:14:49- ..possibly a fight with Nicola Adams - further down the line.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52- Good luck, Miss Brace!
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- We've seen Ashley Brace - boxing on S4C.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- We don't know much about Sorroche.
0:15:02 > 0:15:08- What's interesting is - we know that Ashley Brace is No.1...
0:15:08 > 0:15:14- ..in the European rankings for - the women's bantamweight division.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- Sorroche is No.2.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21- She's only fought - once before outside Spain.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25- That could prove to be a test - for her.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30- Zack would know the answer - to this question.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32- How do you prepare for a fight...
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- ..against someone - you know little about?
0:15:36 > 0:15:41- She'll focus on her own strengths - and do the gym work.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45- In Rounds 1 and 2, - she'll have a look at her opponent.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- Her corner will come up with a plan.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- If she wins an European title, - she'll be targeting the Worlds.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57- A world title fight, live on S4C! - Thanks, boys.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03- Too thin to carry his gloves, - but committed to the sport he loved.
0:16:03 > 0:16:08- Another Merthyr great who fought - for a world title was Johnny Owen.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- He was a shy man, - he was a quiet man.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- He was a lion.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19- He was very thin, they called him - the Merthyr Matchstick.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- He was hard, he trained hard...
0:16:23 > 0:16:27- ..he ran over the Brecon Beacons - every day.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31- We've had dreadful weather in Wales. - Has it affected your training?
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- I've been running in four foot - of snow up the sanatorium.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- It's getting hard then! - I'm a half hour behind on my time.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42- He didn't have a fantastic amount - of ability...
0:16:42 > 0:16:46- ..but he just carried on - and on and on.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- He was just like the Duracell bunny.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- In 1980, Johnny fought - for the World title...
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- ..against Lupe Pintor - in Los Angeles.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59- Ninth round. - He was leading on points.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01- In the ninth round...
0:17:01 > 0:17:05- ..he was knocked down - for the first time in his career.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- He rose to his feet - but his confidence was shot.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- He fought on through - the tenth and eleventh rounds.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- In the next round, - the fatal blow was thrown.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06- The one danger he's got...

0:19:10 > 0:19:13- You can see that coming from - Newport. You're daft if you can't.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09- Obviously then - I'll be more on the title scene.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- With that on the line, he needs - an army to take that off me.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15- There's no way - I'm leaving the arena without it.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- He's 34, he'll come in - and give it everything he's got.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36- How I think it'll go? - I don't think we'll go ten rounds.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- I think it'll be around six rounds.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- Gareth, - where's the smart money going?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- Before I part with my money...!
0:20:48 > 0:20:52- This is a fight we were excited - about back in the spring.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56- Thorley had returned from Australia - and wasn't ready.
0:20:56 > 0:21:02- Asare has fought more experienced - boxers than Thorley has...
0:21:02 > 0:21:07- ..but some people would suggest...
0:21:07 > 0:21:12- ..that as the fight goes on, - Asare has a tendency to tire.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- This is a ten-round bout.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19- I think it favours Thorley. - Would you agree?
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Will it go the ten rounds? - That's the question.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26- I agree, - the last time we saw Asare...
0:21:26 > 0:21:30- ..it was a six-round bout - and he was tired.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35- Thorley only needed two rounds - and he looked fresh.
0:21:35 > 0:21:40- I think the ten-round prospect - will favour Thorley.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44- We spoke about Gavin Gwynne - and Henry Janes earlier.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- We'll witness two different styles - in this one.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- Two very different styles.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55- Asare will be on the front foot. - He likes hooks and overhand rights.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59- Thorley's six foot four, - he has a long reach.
0:21:59 > 0:22:06- He'll be on the back foot - trying to box smart.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10- Asare and Thorley will contest - the Welsh Light Heavyweight title.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- There are more big names - on the card.
