Firat Arslan vs. Steve Herelius today

[BattlingNelson]

3:

Arslan is getting through with some straight shots. Herelius defense is to keep as much leather as possible in the opponents vision...

Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch, ... I think I can see him fading just a little though.

Closer round. Still I give it to frenchie.

27-30

[The Hammer]

Another close round. Herelius is throwing a lot but landing very few clean punches. Mostly he's hitting Arslan's gloves and arms.

Herelius 29-28.

4:

If Arslan has done the necassary roadwork I fancy his chances. There's no way Herelius can keep this torrid pace.

Big left from Arslan sends H to the ropes! And another.

Herelius didn't land many punches here. He cannot have a doubledigit connectpercentage. Arslans round.

38-39

[The Hammer]

Herelius is throwing far more, but Herelius is feeling Arslan's punches more. The Frenchman was stunned a couple of time in the round.

38-38.

Herelius doing an Ali impersonation. As he stops on the ropes Arslan catches him with a few biggies.

I have it even now.
