Arthur Abraham vs. Paul Smith RBR

Round 5

Abraham is lobbing in double jabs to feel out distance and then crashing into Smith's guard with the 1-2, knocking him onto his heels. Smith is circling wide away, evading, then darting in with hooks on the body before moving again in an outward spiral, never stopping his momentum. Abraham picks Smith apart with 1-2s at mid-range and Smith bows deeply over throwing a blind left hook up in the air. Abraham is catching jabs on the forearm. Light jab flicked up by Abraham, falling short as Smith takes a step back. They are taking alternating turns blocking and throwing 1-2s while circling in tight quarters. Neither landing. Clinch.

10-9 Abraham

49-46 Abraham
