    1. Carter's "leaky defense" from the second fight-was gone. Carter fought in a tight manner and scored with clean precision. However, Carter still did not look as powerful and quick as usual. Carter.
    6. Mostly a lot of clinching. Carter.
    12. Carter opened quite fast considering it's round 12. However, his flurries showed the power and speed he still had not recovered. Carter landed a good left hook near the end. Carter.
    15. Carter would punch, then back off, robbing Salas of countering oppurtunities. Carter closed flurrying. Carter.

    Verdict: Too short and unimpressive to bother with really, although Carter's stamina and work rate going into the later rounds is pretty damn impressive. It was a one-sided fight anyway. So one-sided was it (I'm speaking on a points basis; Salas never seemed horribly injured in the four rounds shown) that you could really forget all about Salas in the film, just as you pretty much could in my own written description of the fight. The fight won't hurt you, but it won't make you better.

    Salas seemed almost a different fighter without the home folks behind him. Didn't throw punches like he did in LA. Carter still impresses me as ordinary for a champion.

    Thanks for posting.
