Round 8 Mathews is clasping Luis tightly as he comes jabbing in and swinging pendulum rights into the body. Mathews crosses the finish line in the Point Deduction Grand Prix. Mathews is chopping with right hands on the beard as he comes in. Luis is forcing the issue, looking for a 10-8 spread, but too sloppy, caught with counters and held on the way in. Luis throws an intentional headbutt and Foster takes a point from him. Hard right by Luis. 9-8 Mathews (10-9 Mathews before the deduction, then a deduction from Luis as well) 77-73 Mathews
I've seen him four times he's very pugnacious, and fun to watch he has a lot of heart and he's able to impose his will better than many fighters like him.
Round 9 Mathews is getting outworked and roughed up against the ropes. Deluge of uppercuts from Luis, with Mathews shelling up helplessly. Mathews lacks the strength to clinch or the wind to run, just flicking a few jabs at the head and leaning in on Luis, turning his cheek as the uppercuts and double jabs come flying in. 10-9 Luis 86-83 Mathews
His presence is required, though. Both have been naughty boys. Foster acquitting himself professionally tonight.
