Video decides to go shite just as the fight starts :-(

Anyway.. Round 1!

 

Close first round. Nothing lands of note from either man but Wlod holds the centre of the ring throughout and keeps Green on the end of his jab. Decent left hook from the Pole lands towards the end before Green comes back with a half decent flurry that didn't really land. 10-9 Wlod

 

Wlod again takes the middle of the ring. This time Green flurries more with the jab and lands the occasional right and left hook through before they clinch in close. Good round for Green, Wlod struggling to catch Danny Green who seems to have the better head movement and footwork early on. Wlod comes on stronger at the end but Green takes the round on my card. 19-19

 

Bookies can't split them after 2. Both 10/11

 

Wlod, the taller man, again controls the middle of the ring with Green against the ropes for most of the round. A few solid jabs and straight rights come through from the Polish champion before Green holds and wrestles in close. Couple of rights to the body from Green don't really land and Wlod again takes over with the jab. Wlod round. 29-28

 

Neither is Green. At least Wlodarczyk is the one pushing Green back.

 

Green keeping a tight guard trying to counter Wlod coming in but it gets a bit messy in close. Better round for Green as he looks more composed and is frustrating Wlodarczyk with his better footwork. Wlod barely lands anything clean. Definite Green round this time 38-38
