    Right to the action:
    1. A slow one. Klick on his toes, boxing. Canzoneri doing little aside from initiating clinches. Klick.
    2. Slow maul-and-brawl. Even.
    6. Klick lunges into a HUGE right hand counterpunch of TC's, and he staggers into the corner. However, TC doesn't or can't (which, idk) put Klick away. Canzoneri.
    7. Uneventful. Even.
    8. Klick was taking a slow, but steady battering. At one point he was tired he swung with a haymaker and almost spun all the way around. Canzoneri.
    9. Klick was actually having a much better time of it since before he got coldcocked with that killer right hand in the 6th, but the fight was stopped due to swelling on one of Klick's eyes.

    Verdict: I was not satisfied with TC's performance. He did show a brilliant right counter in the 6th, and there were some missing rounds and most of the ones supplied were condensed, but it just was not a very glamorous win for Canz imo, especially since Klick was rallying in the 9th and the fight was stopped on a cut. I would say skip it.

    This is Canzoneri's worst fillmed performance IMO, and I think Klick's style has a lot to do with it. This is kind of similar to how I see Canz's loss to Mandell being.

    My reaction is Canzoneri had gone down hill since his filmed fights with Ross. I might be because Klick wasn't as good and Canzoneri wasn't as focused and finely trained. Or he might have begun to slip.
