Round 5

Páez, Jr. is putting together combinations of left hooks and looping rights, headhunting. Margarito is slouching forward, shoulders pitched in towards Páez, Jr., chin burrowed into his chest, pumping away tirelessly with uppers on the carapace and slapping some hooks on the mouth up close. Very good action. Páez, Jr. blinking frequently on impact and looking a smidgen overwhelmed by the sheer volume of Margarito.
