    Round 1 Baez 10-9

    Not a great start for Rojas, Baez walking him down, making him look very uncomfortable, Rojas landing some counter, but not much pop on them. Baez's shots did more damage.

    Round 1 Baez 10-9
    Round 2 Rojas 10-9

    Baez still pouring on the pressure, whipping in wild overhand lefts, Rojas still unsure of himself. Baez in close, roughhousing a bit. Rojas standing his ground, landing some straight lefts. Baez lands an uppercut. Rojas lunges in, lands a left, immediately holds. Rojas trying to work the body jabbing better, starting to counter well off the backfoot in combination.

    Rd 1 Baez 10-9
    Rd 2 Rojas 10-9

    Baez taking centre ring, but getting countered more this round. Better activity from Rojas, a couple of nice lead left hands near the end of the round. Becoming quite a fun fight.

    Rd 3 Baez 10-9

    Paulie summed it up well, Rojas has to try and force the action. Baez is comfortable standing right in front of Rojas. You can see his experience compared to the young Rojas. Baez round, much more active and pushing the younger guy backwards. Close, could be a swing round when we go to the scorecards.

    Jesus, did you see the video of Timmeh Bradley @CST80 - he's chonked up!

    Round 1 Baez 10-9
    Round 2 Rojas 10-9
    Round 3 Rojas 10-9, close

    Baez still pressing forward, but Rojas getting more and more elusive, Rojas staying at range, landing cleaner counters, but they're slappy. Baez still landing the harder shots, just not a hell of a lot of them. Baez lands a hard one two late. Rojas winning these rounds, but looking terrible while doing so.

    Round 1 Baez 10-9
    Round 2 Rojas 10-9
    Round 3 Rojas 10-9, close
    Round 4 Baez 10-9, close

    Baez undeterred by Rojas weak counters, he's still marching forward, landing the much harder shots. Baez starting to smack this kid around, still sloppy as hell though. Baez landing better to the body, and the looping overhands. Rojas' shots way too loose and weak to be effective.

    Rd 3 Baez 10-9
    Rd 4 Baez 10-9

    Sloppy work from both, Rojas applied pressure with more authority but isn't putting his work together. Baez was much less accurate than in previous rounds but landed the cleaner shots. A couple of looping shots at range. Another close round, but Baez edged it.

    Round 2 Rojas 10-9
    Round 3 Rojas 10-9, close
    Round 4 Baez 10-9, close
    Round 5 Rojas 10-9, close

    Baez still pressing forward, his shots getting sloppier and less accurate, he's starting to walk into some heavy counters that Rojas is sitting down on. Straight lefts in particular. A lot of wrestling and hugging. Pretty ugly round, with both men seeming to fade.

    Rojas should call it a day, ir he doesn't have the power to hurt a glass jawed Lightweight, who's moved up two divisions, he's going to get massacred at Welterweight.

    Rd 5 Baez 10-9

    Another close round, but Baez knicked it for me. Seems like the older gas tank of Baez might be running a little low, which Rojas can capitalise on as the fight goes on. Baez awkward, close counters match each of the slapping shots that Rojas is landing.

    Rojas comes out with more authority after the pause in action. Looking better on the back foot and boxing from range, but really, he looks very pillow-fisted. Baez attempting to put pressure on Rojas but is less effective now that his stamina is fading.

    Round 4 Baez 10-9, close
    Round 5 Rojas 10-9, close

    Probably Rojas' best round, kept Baez at bay, jabbed well, clipped him consistently with check right hooks and straight lefts.

    Scorecards will be interesting in this one, being a 10-rounder. Quietly rooting for the old boy in there - Rojas looks extra-ordinary.
