Moloney:6,

*Takei point off for low blow.

Life in the dog! Moloney lands good punches in the eighth, arguably wins it, had it for Takei who looks a little disorganised suddenly.

Best shot Moloney landed all night.... was a headbutt. Takei rocked him late with an uppercut.

 

What was hurt... his feelings?

 

Moloney:6,
Takei:1,2*,3,4,5,7,8,9,
*Takei point off for low blow.

The problem for Moloney is that he is in these rounds now, arguably winning them, but they're close - they will be a mess at ringside. The early rounds though are clear. Could get some interesting cards if this pattern continues but it should still be Takei who I thought landed the better punches in a close round.

 

You are right.
