~ A Wild 1st-Round ~

Raul Cruz nearly takes Danny's head-off with a vicious right-hand to the chin at the {0:16 Mark}.

Danny is shook up as he is driven back into the back-right Ropes.

Raul Cruz is pressing hard, but Danny is able to get off with a stream of busy 'left-right' one-two's
to hold Cruz at bay.

Danny then adds in steady amount of poking left-jabs to Raul's face take control.

But Raul comes back with a hard counter 'right-left' to the head at the {1:14 Mark}. But, Danny
continues with his steady attack, and forces Raul to give ground.

Raul smartly 'bends-and-bobs' to avoid the incoming steam of punches as he tries to press.

Danny scores with a 'solid-flurry; at the {1:40 Mark}, and Raul is stunned. But the stocky-Mexican
rides out the storm and starts plugging away at the {1:57 Mark}.

At the {2:42 Mark}, Danny catches Cruz with a hard 'jarring' right-hand to the chin, and then lands
a big sweeping left-hook to Raul's right temple area.

Raul is 'stunned', and reels back into the front-center Ropes at the {2:44 Mark}.

Danny steps forward, and unleashes with a '27-Punch' barrage. Raul is ale to fend off some of the
blows as he is pinned on the Ropes, and nearly goes through them.

But, Raul makes it to the Bell. The Mexican is 'groggy' as he walks back to his Corner, at the front-right Area.
