    He will not be a walk over for sure. this is a legitimate step up for Kash Farooq. Also, a much tougher test than a Karim Guerfi that Lee McGregor fought last time out for the Euro belt.

    Round 1: 10-9 Farooq close

    The difference in speed and athleticism is big but Espinoza is doing a good job keeping Farooq honest with the volume. Farooq counter punching and using the jab to the body. Farooq looks extremely focused. Head to head action for the last 60 seconds, great opening round, both guys trading punches in the phone booth. Cleaner work by Farooq.

    Round 1: 10-9 Farooq close
    Round 2: 10-9 Farooq

    Farooq busier, cleaner and too fast. Espinoza is game but getting outworked. Another good finish from both fighters. Nice action in the pocket.

    10-9 Farooq, close round, I actually wouldn't argue with it being 10-10.

    20-18 Farooq


    Farooq just landinf the quality work, nice work with the left hand, short shots, Espinoza is having success so the left hook to the body and I think Farooq has felt them.

    Really competitive fight so far.

    Round 1 Farooq 10-9
    Round 2 Farooq 10-9

    Fast combinations from Espinoza throughout. Right cross and left hook to body and head working for him. Farooq defense working well and landed many counters. Both working nonstop. Nice Farooq 2 punch combo on the bell.

    Smith will be too scared to do anything. But one of the Smith brothers will have to remove him from the microphone because the tapping sounds will Screeching.

    10-9 Farooq.

    30-27 Farooq

    Some Beautiful boxing, a really nice flow to Farooqs work now, Espinoza looking a little one dimensional now, predictable, looks like he is running out of ideas rapidly.

    A few more rounds of this and I see Espinoza either quitting or getting pulled out.
