Round 4

Quick double jab to the body, then a right hook up top by Jhonson. Nelson is backed up, trying to lean back and line up a straight right. Jhonson keeps charging in, with Nelson grabbing him around the middle and then spinning him around like a rag doll until Robert Byrd comes trotting in yelling "no no no!" Jhonson feigns with the right jab, trying to goad Nelson into throwing so he can wind up a corking left hand counter. Nelson instead is biding his time, circling outside, pawing his jab. BIG OVERHAND LEFT KO!!!!!! Nelson's legs turn to jelly as he crumples!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No, not out. Just down. How did Nelson get up!?!?!? Jhonson jumps on him!!! Hammers away at him!!! Nelson tumbles, no knockdown. Slip. Survives the round.

10-8 Jhonson

37-37

 

"YOU GOT YOUR ****ING CHIN UP IN THE GOD DAMN AIR, PULLING STRAIGHT BACKWARDS!!!!!! WHY ARE YOU NOT BOSSING THIS KID?? THROW JABS!! DOUBLE ****ING JABS!!!!!!!! THEN THE RIGHT HAND, OK!?!? :rant"

Round 5

Nelson walks into another overhand left, and it hurts him again. Nelson hops away from Jhonson - directly into a corner. Jhonson fires away, plugging the body and head. Nelson slides along the ropes, staggered by another overhand left lead from Jhonson. Nelson is dropping right hand leads, pushing them out a bit, overextending...dangerous. Jhonson walks him to the ropes, throwing right jabs and left hands. Nelson circles out wide and stretches out some left jabs, grazing Jhonson's forehead with them. Jhonson taps at the elbows with his right jab, then pounds his way in with a left hand and some right hooks!! Nelson fights back! 1-2!! Staggers Jhonson back!!! Doe legs and glassy eyes for Jhonson!! he keeps his distance. Nelson comes forward. Jhonson misses an overhand left from outside.

47-46 Jhonson
