ESPN2 FNF: Vernon Paris vs. Manuel Perez & Lonnie Smith vs. Cornelius Lock RBR

Round 1

Smith paws his left jab and circles deliberately to his left. Left hand lead from Lock. Smith moves in, waving a slow measuring left hook in the air. Lock steps back and counters with a straight left hand as Smith misses a 1-2 past his shoulder. Lock is looking to catch Smith with a big straight or overhand left, but Smith is always moving when he gets grazed and so never feels the full power. Smith dives in with a swipe of his left arm and pushes Lock into the ropes in a tussling clinch. Lock takes a right to the body and misses a big corkscrew right hook as Smith ducks, spinning himself around. Lock connects with a blind overhead left hand just at the bell, and they get into a brief shoving match.

10-9 Lock

 

Round 2

Lock down early, slip. Right hooks and left uppercuts by Lock. Smith leans in against him, and loops a few rights into the body of Lock. Smith flips up jabs from his left hip while skipping forward into clinches, putting his arms out wide to hug after hitting Lock on the body. Nice short crisp right jabs into the mouth by Lock, spiraling back outside. Smith walks into a 1-2 but gets his guard positioned in time to absorb it on the arms, letting is push him back a step before resetting himself. Lock executes a smooth turn off the ropes, catching a lunging Smith right hand on the chest but landing a short counter right hook.

10-9 Lock

20-18 Lock
