Pierson is just blocking those shots like he's in the gym. It's a shame, because he could knock this guy out if he tried. 78-74 Ennis.
Round 8: Lots of posing, still. Ennis busier, and connects with a right early and a combo late. Pierson doesn't land much at all, in part because his workrate can charitably be described as anemic. 10-9 Ennis round
After knocking him down I was so disappointed Diaz didn't stop Lundy ( was a light KD but still ), David Diaz is a warrior in the ring, always gave his best, hate seeing a guy like Lundy KO him.
pierson so inactive in the ring . low output of punches just becaue he knows he isnt in shape to stay active throwing punches. if he throws he will get tired and get knocked out.
