Round 1 >

Rounds 2 and 3 >
Were fought mostly on 'even ground'.

Round 4 >
Karl fought a solid Round here, and was well on way to winning the session until he got caught at the end
of the Round by a crunching left-hook high on the forehead at the {2:52 Mark}. Karl again was up immediately
at the {1-Count}.

Round 5 >
Karl again fought well here, and stalled Oscar's bull rushes. At the end of the Round, Oscar hit Karl low {3-Times}.
At the end of the Round, Referee - Harry Krause penalized Oscar {1-Point} for low blows.

Round 6 >
A solid Round for Karl.

Round 7 >
Oscar the was the aggressor here, and dropped Karl with a booming straight right-hand to the chin at the {1:25 Mark}.

A good Round for Oscar, as he displayed his strength.

Round 9 >
The best complete Round for Karl, as he badly hurt and staggered Oscar with a left-hand at the {2:20 Mark}.

Round 10 >
Karl was having a good Round here, especially over the second-half of the session. But he got caught by a hard
left-hook at the {2:50 Mark} and went down again {it was his 4th visit to the canvas}. Karl was up at the
4-Count, and was 'dazed' at the Bell.

Round 11 >
Oscar was the aggressor, and Karl was forced to stay on the defensive.

Round 12 >
Oscar the aggressor and was in command throughout.
