    Round 2 Billam-Smith 10-9
    Round 3 Billam-Smith 10-9
    Round 4 Billam-Smith 10-9
    Round 5 Billam-Smith 10-9
    Round 6 McCarthy 10-9

    They're trading jabs early, Tommy getting the better of it. Tommy throwing clubbing one twos. CBS landing solid jabs now. Tommy hold after he eats a left hook. CBS staking snapping his head back with the jab, Tommy lands a right over the top. Both of them gassed. McCarthy landing some decent counters. CBs aggressive late, marching forward, Tommy's right eye is split open now.

    Round 1: 10-9 McCarthy
    Round 2: 10-9 Billam-Smith
    Round 3: 10-9 Billam-Smith
    Round 4: 10-9 McCarthy
    Round 5: 10-9 Billam-Smith
    Round 6: 10-9 McCarthy
    Round 7: 10-9 McCarthy

    The cut is clearly bothering McCarthy as the blood is pouring down to his eye. McCarthy still doing the quality work this round. But again a lot of clinching and holding, some dirty **** from CBS especially going in with the head first all the time. Another close round. I liked the cleaner work of McCarthy more but there is a case you can make for Billam-Smith outworking him despite landing not much clean.

    Round 7 Billam-Smith 10-9

    CBS taking his time, walking him down patiently, landing hard jabs. CBS going to the body now. He gets him on the ropes, working him over to the ribs, Tommy;'s eye is a mess. Tommy bends over, CBS nails him with about 5 body shots. They trade hooks. Tommy got the best of it. CBS gets him along the ropes, nails him with a right. Then another one a few seconds later. Uppercuts from CBS along the ropes.

    Mccarthy is annoying to watch. Flashes of good stuff but you get the impression he could really let his hands go if he wanted to.

    Best shot of the round by CBS. McCarthy landed some good stuff too but CBS is landing cleaner now and coming closer to the target.

    They're trading jabs. One twos from Tommy. CBS jabbing, then lands a clubbing right. Counter right from Tommy, counter left from CBS. Jabs, hooks and body work from CBS. Tommy holding. CBS lands a nasty hook, he's rocked, CBS follows up with several hooks up top and an uppercut. Tommy with a decent right, followed by an uppercut. CBS with a flurry late.

    Round 9: 10-9 McCarthy

    CBS targeting the body, McCarthy landing flush on top. Good round and less holding/clinching. Both fighters are tired and looking sloppy but the activity actually was pretty solid from both guys. McCarthy probably won the first half, CBS might have edged the second half. Tough round to score. McCarty made CBS miss a lot and the cleaner work again from McCarthy. But razor close...

    CBS looks like John Cenas slightly backward younger brother.

    CBS comes out very aggressive, letting his hands go, then the pace settles. ommy lands a few habs and a right, CBS fires back, lands a few looping hooks. Heavy jab from CBS, Tommy holds, CBS gets in a few hooks to the body and uppercuts. They're trading slow motion hooks. CBS's body shots are much better. Both missing badly late. McCarthy may have edged that.
