Round 1

Culcay jabs up at the head of Annunziata, brushing his mini-pompadour. Annunziata is down, slip/bodyslam. Annunziata is having a really hard time keeping his balance while hopping around Culcay in circles looking for angles to land his right jab. Culcay is out-scoring him with the set-up punch, and is also getting in some sneaky left hooks to the hip bone. The ref seems to warn Culcay to keep them up. Annunziata dances around on his toes and blocks some Culcay rights with a tight guard. Weak left hand lead by Annunziata. Culcay dodges and counters with a left jab to the face.

10-9 Culcay

Soft overhand right to the brow by Culcay as Annunziata tries to hide behind his guard. Lunging southpaw 1-2 by Annunziata as they circle out wide. Sloppy right by Culcay, falling into Annunziata. They bump heads and Annunziata goes to a knee. Hard warning for Culcay. Almost a point deduction? Warning to both for holding. Hard left thrown at the body by Annunziata, but Culcay jumps away from it. Uppers to the body by Culcay and Annunziata holds, only to get warned. Culcay presses the attack, heaving his left forearm up into Annunziata's face and looking to land low with the right. Annunziata keeps holding and getting warned. BIG RIGHT HAND BY CULCAY!! Annunziata is hurt and crashes back into the ropes. Annunziata tries to clinch but Culcay whacks him upside the head with both hands. Annunziata covers up and leans in.
