Round 5:

Not that long to go for Thaxton. Ref pauses to wipe some Vas from Romanov's eye. Romanov guards well, blocking three shots. Left hook glances Romanov, who returns a good right hand. Right hook from Thaxton, countered by a left. Thaxton ducks, but takes three hard shots on the arm, then a lovely left hook. That left is ripping the right side of Thaxton's faxe. Two body shots from Thaxton, but still doesn't fade the eastern bloc boy. Thaxton swings a left that doesn't land in the same postcoede as Romanov. Right hand for Romanov, then a body shot too. Jab and right hand from Thaxton, who then takes a left hook. Thaxton's right eye is a dirty steak of a thing.

Thaxton's corner pulls him out after the cut.

Romanov in 5. Good luck on the prediction comp. Dominic Ingle tells Jon that the cut is too much to continue. Romanov at a canter. Looks a horrible cut. Ingle knows his boy was outclassed and outboxed.
