Johnny Davis vs. Dwight Braxton II ~ 'The Rematch' ~

Round 9

The bout is 'Up-for-Grabs'.

Johnny opens up by staying outside, and moves his right while circling.

But after only 10-Seconds, Dwight starts using his left-jab to get inside. Dwight works
Johnny's body, and the work is starting to 'take-its-toll', as he eventually traps Johnny on
the Ropes.

By the {0:42 Mark}, Johnny circles out and goes flat-footed at Center-Ring. Johnny tosses
in with a flurry-of-punches, but he has nothing behind them.

At the {0:56 Mark}, Johnny moves to the back-left Ropes, Dwight moves in, and starts
mauling away with both hands.

At the {1:06 Mark}, both start trading. At the {1:07 Mark}, Dwight lands a 'big' right-hand
which snaps Johnny's head back.

Dwight keeps 'chugging', and scores with a good 'left-right' at the {1:14 Mark}. Johnny backs
up to the front Ropes.

Dwight moves in, and is relentless with his attack. Dwight is going 'Hog Wild', and head-butts
Johnny at the {1:27 Mark}.

Johnny hangs tough, and comes back with a 'blistering' 5-Punch combination at the {1:32 Mark}.

Johnny comes back with a 'left-left-right', as Dwight goes low to avoid the punches.

Dwight moves in close at the {1:41 Mark} and digs in with a hard left-hook to the body.

Dwight is now 'man-handling' Johnny with his mauling-attack, and lands with a 'big' right
uppercut to the chin.

But, Johnny comes back with a solid right-hand lead to the head at the {2:06 Mark}.

Dwight fires, but he is short with a 'left-right' aimed at Johnny's chin. But Dwight catches
Johnny with a follow up 'grazing' left-hook to the chin, and Johnny 'wobbles to the right-side
Ropes at the {2:12 Mark}.

Dwight moves in and unloads with a hard left-hook. Johnny then moves over to his left
and 'flops' on the front Ropes at the {2:16 Mark}.

Dwight comes in with a 'big' right-hook, and Johnny is driven into the front-right Corner.

It is all Dwight Braxton now.

At the {2:22 Mark}, Dwight is still slugging away on Johnny, who is on the complete defensive.

Dwight continues with a sharp 'left-right-left-right', as Johnny is now trapped on the back Ropes
at the {2:40 Mark}.

Johnny now looks weary and beaten. Dwight comes in, and 'misses' with a big-sweeping left-hook.

Johnny gets Dwight off-balance, and fires with a 'left-right'. But Dwight counters with his own 'left-right'
at the {2:51 Mark}.

Johnny moves over to the front-left Corner and rides it out until the Bell.

Round 9 ......... {5-3} > Dwight Braxton

Note >
Both ESPN Announcers {Sal Marciano and Jack McKinney} acknowledged that Dwight Braxton was coming
on like a Freight Train, and he was relentless in his attack.

They stated that Johnny had fought well, and was 'one tough cookie', but that he just didn't have the
'punching-power' to neutralize Dwight's attack.
