"In Harm's Way" Top Rank PPV & undercard RBR.

Round 4

Antillon gets right in Soto's face and crowds him near the ropes, but Soto feints his way by. Soto now whipping hooks to the body of Antillon and quickly stepping to his right. Antillon is jabbing straight up at Soto's mouth and knocks on his lip a few times before Soto adjusts and starts taking an extra half-step away as the two tango across the ring. Body shot by Soto. Big right hand by Soto. He's landing some terrific shots when he has space, and Antillon's slow enough to give him a little bit of that space in between every spell of infighting. Soto does well on the inside as well, but not quite as well. He's got much better hand speed and that is his best defense right now, as Antillon's heavy shots are very stilted.

The rounds are getting closer.

It's still all Soto so far.

 

Round 5

It's a judo match in the corner, until the referee tells them to do cleaner work. Soto mixes together a few jab and uppercut cocktails. Antillon chugs them down and is still thirsty. Antillon works both hands to the body. His nose is bleeding profusely. Soto is moving, defending, and countering but inevitably gets caught up against the ropes and has his ribs banged on. Triple jab by Soto while circling left, then a quick hop to his right to throw Antillon off his scent. They trade in close, with Soto turning Antillon and outlanding him enormously. Antillon has a point taken away for a low blow. After time-in, Antillon lands a nice jab that snaps Soto's head back. Soto flurries before the bell to seal the deal in a round he was already winning 10-8.

10-8 Soto
