Round 1

Nishioka presses. Munoz pushes him back with his left jab. Nishoka is looking to set up his right jab. Munoz comes forward and flurries to the body. Nishoka tucks his elbows together to defend. Straight lefts to the body by Nishioka now. Clinch. Nishioka keeps pressing with quick hard left hand drills to the stomach as Munoz backs up and tries to block them in time. Munoz stops retreating and steps forward to again flurry to the body and try to slow Nishioka down. Munoz paws with his left jab and is parried. Munoz steps forward with some hooks and Nishioka slips by bending forward and over to the side, sending Munoz's fists over and across his back.

Somewhat slow round.

10-9 Nishioka

 

Round 2

Nishioka is pushing through with his right jab trying to get a 1-2 going. Munoz catches him into a tight embrace. Nishioka goes back to dropping the straight left to the body, using high right jabs to set it up now. Munoz swipes with a wild sidearm right hand and misses. Munoz is staying in pretty close, only shuffling back when Nishioka starts to move his hands. Nishioka propels himself backward out of the way of a triplet of hard right hands pumped out by Munoz. Straight left to the body by Nishioka. Clinch. Munoz jabs, blocked. Both start turning into punches at the same time and they slap together chest to chest but don't clinch, each trying to work on the inside.

20-18

 

Round 3

Nishioka is being made to duck some wild sickle shots from Munoz; all hooks and uppercuts. Nishioka has them scouted well, ducking easily forward and off to either side and tying Munoz up aroudn the midsection. Nishioka has no offensive answer yet. Munoz keeps the pressure coming, constantly punching for the first minute and a half of the round. Only a bit is landing, but they're all power punches and they're the only shots being thrown by either. Nishioka is just straight up giving this round away right now. They stand in toe to toe and Nishioka works his left hand to the body. Munoz comes forward with his shoulders pinches together and throws lots of short hooking shots as Nishioka, making him cover up and push down on Munoz's head to cool him down. Nishioka peppering in body shots where he can. Munoz keeps diving and breaching his way in with his fists glued to his face.

10-9 Munoz

29-28 TN

 

Round 4

Munoz is leading with hard right hands, sending it straight into the champ's face as well as down into his breastplate. Nishioka starts slipping jabs with his head lolling side to side as he presses his way in looking to punish Munoz. Whenever Munoz crouches down and edges his way inside behind his guard Nishioka bounces away on his toes and resets. Lunging 1-2 from Munoz, slipped. Nishioka just defending. Clinch. Munoz throws another wild combo. Another clinch.

This is not stylistic gold.

39-37 Nishioka
