Jorge Arce vs. Simphiwe Nongqayi II RBR

Round 2

Nongqayi is stunned by multiple right hands. Arce just inches forward, rolling along on the balls of his feet and patiently jabbing to set his work up. Nongqayi is standing tall and holding up his guard trying to block and counter while waiting for Arce to lead. Lots of clinching. Jumping hook by Arce lands loudly. Clinch and they push each other across the ring as though on a conveyor belt. Arce is digging the body with hooks and crashing down with right hands over the top as Nongqayi clings to him. Nongqayi is hurt by another right backing up to the ropes, where he ducks forward and tries to fight back while resting his head on Arce's shoulder.

20-17 Arce

Nongqayi is just leaning in and grinding himself up against Arce. SLAPPING COMBO BY ARCE, landing left hooks and right hands flush!! Nongqayi fights back, getting pushed to the ropes. Arce eats a hook as Nongqayi popped up out of a crouch while Arce's hands were down. Pause. Nongqayi's mouthpiece is reinserted. Arce jumps on him!! Wild frenzy!!
