This fight is being fought with body punching as the battlefield as they trade hard shots to the midsection, Russell now has blood from his mouth, Hiraoka is landing some serious body punches but Russell is landing his own to the body. Russell is digging deep, Hiraoka's tall frame and extension on his body shots remind me somewhat of Diego Corrales who had that sort of commitment with that frame. Hiraoka might have won the round at the last few seconds with some straight shots.
