    I wonder if it's actually more daunting to fight in front of quiet ass Japanese crowds...

    Round 1 Ioka 10-9
    Round 2 Ioka 10-9
    Round 3 Ioka 10-9
    Round 4 Ioka 10-9

    Franco giving the appearance of being the busier fighter, but landing next to nothing of note, Ioka's defense is impeccable, then he fires off clean accurate overhand rights and left hooks to the body and head.

    10-9 Franco

    Great round. Ioka's boxing was a little less beautiful, but there was a lot of action. Franco has a very good gas tank and managed to halt a pseudo-comeback Ioka was making by landing a few very nice hooks on Ioka. I'm really enjoying this fight.

    49-46 Ioka

    Round 2 Ioka 10-9
    Round 3 Ioka 10-9
    Round 4 Ioka 10-9
    Round 5 Ioka 10-9

    Ioka more active with the jab now, still defending exceptionally, then landing one twos and occasionally combinations to the head and body. Franco got more accurate as the round progressed, but not enough to win it.

    10-9 Franco

    Easily Franco's best round. Ioka has his moments and lands some very nice punches and flurries, but Franco is overwhelmingly landing more and managed to snap Ioka's head back a couple of times. He has one of the best gas tanks I have seen in this fight.

    58-56 Ioka

    Round 1 Ioka 10-9
    Round 2 Ioka 10-9
    Round 3 Ioka 10-9
    Round 4 Ioka 10-9
    Round 5 Ioka 10-9
    Round 6 Franco 10-9

    Franco really amped up the pressure and volume here, while Kazuto was landing crisp counters, there were too few of them to offset the sustained assault.

    10-9 Ioka

    Ioka's defense was great this round, and he hit Franco many, many more times than he was hit. His fundamentals might be the best in the world today. I really want everybody reading this thread to watch this fight.

    68-65 Ioka

    Again, Franco with a tremendous sustained effort, throwing two and three punch combos, but Ioka catching and countering too well.

    10-9 Ioka

    Ioka won this round easily. I just want to say, I'm not drunk, and I really trust my scoring while not inebriated. I also have a fellow boxer with me who has scored every round the same as me. I really suggest for all of you to watch it. If you actually look at whether or not the punches are landing, Ioka is winning this easily.

    78-74 Ioka

    10-9 Ioka

    Ioka landed the better punches by far this round, and punches landed was about the same.

    88-83 Ioka

    Also we accidentally watched round 10 first, I scored it for Franco while my friend scored it for Ioka.

    So our cards are now:

    97-93 Ioka (me)

    98-92 Ioka (Him)

    While Ioka was still doing the cleaner work, his energy level dipped, and Franco outworked him by a smidge.

    @CST80 @JunlongXiFan From Mikey's reaction it seems like the fight was a robbery, surprised to see your guys card so wide. I haven't watched the fight. Is it a case of Franco throwing more volume vs Ioka throwing cleaner punches?
