    Man, I sure hope the judges know what they're doing. Franco's staying busy but barely any of it is landing, and what does land seems pretty ineffective to me.

    Ioka presenting as an elusive target for Franco while sitting in his range and constantly picking off the perfect punches at any given opportunity. This is some flow state level boxing by Ioka right now. He's barely putting a foot wrong and Franco is being made to look majorly out of his league. Franco even tried to come on strong late but Ioka had more than enough to respond with. Dominant round by Ioka.
    Ioka 10-9
    Ioka 79-73

    Franco jabbing to the gloves of Ioka. Ioka firing back with one twos down the middle. Ioka seemed to slip on something, and did a little hop to the side. Ioka trudging forward, aggressively looping in big hooks to the head. Franco's cut is bleeding a bit more this round. Franco hitting air, Ioka showboating and sticking his tongue out. Calzaghe-Jones style.

    Franco like the warrior he is has come out charging madly and landed some decent blows but Ioka finds a few big shots to interrupt his rhythm a minute into the round. Franco still keeps up his pace well this round and outworks Ioka who seems to have taken the round off.
    Franco 10-9
    Ioka 88-83

    Stop raising your arms at the end of rounds Franco. Your ass is getting taken to Japanese slick school.

    Round 10 Ioka 10-9

    Franco winging shots and missing them. Ioka not as active, but still pretty damn accurate. Ioka parrying jabs and landing solid hooks and rights, but his output has really dropped. Ioka smashing him with extra beefy jabs late. Franco's accuracy is woeful.

    Ioka now has no time for Franco's attempts at smothering him. He's re-establishing his volume, particularly with the jab. He keeps pushing Franco back with his solid jab and left hook to take the round clearly. Franco needs something special to win this now in my eyes.
    Ioka 10-9
    Ioka 98-92

    Ioka is dominating this. Franco needs a few knockdowns or a knockout to win. Or incompetent judging, but they'd have to be pretty dumb to give it to him at this point. Never say never with boxing though.

    The skill gap is vast. All Franco has is workrate. Ioka has been urinating on him all night with his far superior slickness and skills.
