Round 2

White connects with the right, and Rasani dances away outside. Lots of wiggling and drooping by Rasani, trying to avoid shots with loosey-goosey movement. White is just marching on and hitting whatever he can, whether it's gloves or head. Good straight rights, left hooks, uppercuts, and overhands. BIG LEFT HOOK rocks Rasani back on his heels and bouncing into the ropes involuntarily. They come together and Rasani tries to work some uppercuts inside but hasn't got any leverage. Rasani nearly goes down off a looped right, and his glove very nearly brushes the canvas. Rasani backs away and waves his upper body around to take the sting off White's shots but they're all making at least some contact and hurting him. Left hook to the body by White. Big right hand clipping up top. Rasani is in a corner. BIG right hand by White. Rasani leans back against the ropes and rolls away from shots. Good left hand uppercuts by White. Body shots in combo.

Round 3

Rasani gets jabbed in the belly and backpedals to the ropes. White jabs him in the face and pushes off a clinch attempt. White is bringing the right hand hammering over and hitting Rasani high on the skull. Rasani is rolling away against the ropes but taking a lot of clean leather. The only thing keeping him from being KTFO is that he's moving with them rather than keeping his head stationary. Wild right misses by Rasani. Short left hooks by White, and a chopping overhand right. Rasani tries a wide right but realizes it isn't going to land and converts it into a grab but White simply shrugs him back. White puts Rasani on the ropes, but skips away to take a breath. RIGHT HAND! Rasani is in trouble, bouncing off the ropes and then smothering White by flopping against him. Clinch. White pushes Rasani back over the top rope, leaning on him. Break. White spins himself off balance and down to the canvas looping a big right from too far away.

30-27 White

 

Is this going the distance?
