113-115、112-116、112-116 NEW Luis Concepción
Round 1 and 2 - Kono backing off, struggling to establish himself and Concepcion in control Round 3-Kono having his moments but struggling with Concepcion's movement
Round 4- **** heating up in here! Kono decides to stand his ground and we have a fight at last, seems like Kono feels the power of Concepcion though and starts to retreat, Concepcion is after blood! Kono fighting back on the back foot! This is what we had all been hoping for after the slow start!
Kono having more success in rounds 6 and 7, still seems like Concepcion's blows are the more effective but the Tough Boy is certainly holding his own and not being backed up as he had been earlier in the contest.
Round 8-Kono hurt at the start of the round! Concepcion wants to drop the champion...Kono says "**** that lets fight" and WE HAVE A WAR! Kono looks to be cut under the left eye. Now they are just standing and trading, wrestling for a moment and back to fighting, then wrestling. The Kono landing some huge right hands and Concepcion walking through them! Heavily artillery from Kono and Concepcion returns the favour! Great back and force broken up with some holding as they become too close to fight. Kono targetting the body but eats a monster uppercutt! What a ****ing round!
Round 9-Kono on the front foot and he's hurt Concepcion! Concepcion is on the defensive and retreating Kono bringing another wave of offensive work and Concepcion holds. The moment seems to be lost and Concepcion now on the front foot. Concepcion looking a wee bit tired now!
Round 10-We've still got two warriors and they are just putting it all out there, a good round for Kono but time is running out for the Tough Boy who has a clearly damaged eye and lacks the power to consistently hurt Concepcion
Round 11-More of the same, a headclash has left Concepcion cut but the fight goes on and it continues to be a hard hitting, career shortening slugfest
Round 12- Kono hurt by a low blow, takes a break to recover,then they go back to war with Concepcion getting the better of it. 117-111 or 116-112 seems fair enough
