Body shots by Murata floating around on the outside, flat-footed. Now Murata gets up on the ba\\s of his feet, bouncing a little as Nicklow applies pressure behind a high guard. Light flurries by Murata. Overhand lead by Nicklow, falling in and missing. Murata stiff-arms Nicklow out into range to jab and flurry at him.
