    1-2. Moore comfortably jabbed and scored left hooks. Moore.
    3. Left hook dazed and backed Slade up a shade. Moore.
    4. Moore making a moore concentrated attack, keeping Slade on the ropes and Slade countered a little. Once out of the corner, Moore threw a right, and Slade countered with a left hook that rocked Moore. Slade followed up, driving Moore into the ropes and landing a barrage, consisting mostly of solid shots, but they did nothing to Moore. He wasn't even rattled or breathing heavily. He covered and bobbed his way cooly through the barrage. Moore.
    5-9. All terribly slow. Moore won all four rounds.
    10. Both made an effort, not that it was enough to save the fight. Moore.

    A whopping 10-0 for Moore.

    Btw, Slade's hair looked absurd.

    Verdict: I know I've said I'm trying to approach all fights as open-mindedly as I can, but I can't lie about this one. It was a Goddamn bore. Forget this one! One of the most horrible bouts I've ever seen.
