last 20-Seconds, when Deuk-Koo scored with a good barrage.

{10-9} > Deuk-Koo Kim

Round 8
Deuk-Koo came out by using a different style, of moving and boxing. Ray pursued, and held a slight-edge
throughout the Round until the last 20-Seconds, when Deuk-Koo exploded with a volley of solid punches
to both the head-and body that rocked Ray.

{10-9} > Deuk-Koo Kim

Round 9
Deuk-Koo came out aggressively, and took it right to Ray, backing him up and hitting him throughout the
first-half of the session. Ray made a good effort just past the mid-way point in the session, when he rallied
with several good body punches that bothered the Challenger. But, Deuk-Koo put together another late-charge
and took the Round with some solid punches over the last 20-Seconds.

{10-9} > Deuk-Koo Kim

Round 10

Both fighters came out aggressively, and immediately traded with heavy-exchanges. Deuk-Koo was showing
a bad bruise and swelling high up on the left-side of his face, between his left ear and left-eye.

At the {0:12 Mark} CBS Boxing Announcer Tim Ryan says >
"This bout is 'dead' even on our scorecards. This bout is very close."

The fighters get into a 'good exchange' at the {0:28 Mark}, and then get into a clinch. While in the clinch,
Deuk-Koo hits Ray on the top of his head with his right-glove at the {0:31 Mark}.

Immediately, Referee - Richard Greene penalizes Deuk-Koo {1-Point}. Deuk-Koo apologizes to Ray, and
sticks out both gloves in a sportsmanlike gesture before the action resumes.

Ray then turns it on at the {0:40 Mark}., and hammers Deuk-Koo with a steady body-assault of lefts and
rights for the next 1-Minute plus.

Ray is in command during the middle of the session, and Deuk-Koo is starting to get worn down.

But again, a 'game' Deuk-Koo puts forth a late-rally, and scores with a few good left-hands.

{10-8} > Ray Mancini
