    This "finding the fire in your belly in literally the last minute" boxing trope is weird.

    That was an entertaining end to the fight! If Moloney got on it like that a round earlier would have been interesting. What a sport

    Takei getting through a hellacious 12th round on fumes. Moloney not pushing like this earlier makes you wonder why he left that in the tank.

    Takei going all out for the KO, wears himself out, now is totally gassed out. Moloney going all out. Almost KO'd him late, but ran out of time.

    118-109 Takei

    Was Takei hurt or gassed there? That was random as hell after the fight went lol. If he was gassed he's lucky it's not 15 rounds. He looked almost done.

    11-1 Takei. If it was a 15 rounder Moloney could stop him

    :deal:

    Could well have screwed himself of a dramatic "snatch victory from the jaws of defeat", save the belt scenario.

    round of the year type of finish. Willis looked so close to stepping in, if only Maloney could keep his hands moving just a little longer

    tons of guts shown by Yashiki
