Groves/Johnson, Donaire/Arce & Khan/Molina RbR!

Rd 2
Skeete has a nice left uppercut as well. Occasionally throws it from range but he's not going to get countered against someone like Symonds. Down goes Symonds but ref rules it a slip - need to see a replay. Symonds face is reddening up as he keeps eating those jabs and right hands. **** knows why he keeps smiling. Pissing me off. Rawling says he's talking to Skeete, presumably trying to goad him into a tear-up but Skeelte doesn't give a ****. Skeete throws a right hand, right hook and Symonds counters with a left hook. First significant punch he's landed.

20-18 Skeete

 

Rd 3
Symonds really isn't offering anything offensively. He's been kept at range and is restricted to desperate body shots that are falling shot. Some nice work by Skeete, double jab then a right hand. Really slow tempo here - completely controlled by Skeete. Symonds launches a rare attack, comoing off the ropes with a few hooks that mainly missed.

30-27 Skeete

 

Rd 4
Not sure what Symonds game plan is now. Seeming like journeyman v prospect now. Ouch! Skeete counters a Symonds left hook with a cracking right hand. At least now Symonds is trying to push the action and force Skeete to up his workrate. Nasty looking cut above Symond's left eye, dunno where that came from. Doctor lets him go on. Symonds comes out raging but Skeete picks him off and down goes Symonds! Ref looks into Symonds eyes as he gets up and waves it off. It was a right hand, jab, right hook combination that caused the KD.

Skeete TKO4 Symonds

Soft stoppage but Symonds wasn't in that. The cut probably played a part as well.
