This content is protected

1. Ike was punching short and strong, but slow, unnlike in his lightweight days. Both men solid belters. Williams.
2. Ike has Pruden's left eye puffy already. Some weird fall occurred. Couldn't tell if it was a slip or a KD. Ike landed a thudding right on Pruden's head, and both launch hooks, and Pruden went down. Williams.
3. Williams became more defensive, but outdid Pruden at any rate. Williams.
4. I noticed why Ike was winning and Pruden wasn't. Williams was avoiding punches. He was rolling and blocking Pruden's jabs, whereas Pruden took no such precautionary measures to avoid Ike's even more potent punches. Pruden opened a cut over Ike's left eye, and Williams assaulted Pruden very roughly. Williams.
5. Ike landed a good counter straight right early on. Williams pelted Pruden with a few solid rights and lefts as well. Pruden's right eye was opened. However, Ike's left eye is worse off than either of Pruden's eyes. Ike just took Pruden apart throughout the round, but he never staggered Pruden. Williams.
6. Pruden finally seized some initiative, forcing Williams to retreat and landing some solid but ineffectual blows. Ike remained on the backfoot for the remainder, but got the better of the punching just the same. Williams.
7. Pruden had some impressive body shots at first. Ike appeared to tire. Even.
8. Ike having his way, but Pruden backed him up with a counter right. Ike landed a hard right before the bell. Williams.
9. The two had a decent exchange at the end of the round, which Williams won. Pruden was a bloody mess. It's all in his hair, on his face, his chest, his trunks. Williams.
10. The two fought in good bursts, with Ike naturally getting the better of it. The best round. Williams.

Final score: 9-0-1 for Ike.

Verdict: Unimpressive performance by Williams. I thought it was a pointless contest. Ike cut up and punched up a guy that was never staggered throughout the entire 10 rounds, yet Pruden never fought back, and Williams remained untested.

 

Thank you sir.
