ESPN2 FNF: Austin Trout vs. Daniel Dawson RBR

Round 1

Elbiali is throwing big hooks, walking his man down and doing a slight dip and weave after each step in case Williams has a counter lined up. Williams is just feinting and backing up, occasionally stuffing a jab into Elbiali's guard and shooting a right over his back. Elbiali is throwing fake jabs up from the hip creeping forward, and they briefly tie up as Elbiali catches up to Williams. Elbiali stalks and fakes a jab, and throws a BIG overhand right crashing onto the left eyeball - and down goes Williams, flat on his face and flipped by the ref onto his back, still out cold.

KO1!!

Dwayne's game plan would have been totally different over six.

The reduced length in his mind translated into only needing 66% of the defense he would ordinarily use - hence the hands dropping when Elbiali faked the jab. In a 6-rounder no way does he get caught with that OHR air-mailed all the way from Cairo...not slick D-W, as they call him back in Detroit.
