    ~ The Bout ~

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Round 1

    Both Shozo Saijo and Antonio Gomez came out looking to establish their left-jab. Both fighters
    were at Center-Ring, but the tall-and-lanky Champion was moving laterally, like a 'Cat'.

    Antonio was reaching with his left-jab, and had to leap to reach the 5' 8" Champion. In one
    exchange, the Champion was able to score with a 'long-and-solid' left-hand that rocked Antonio
    backwards at the {1:20 Mark}.

    The Champion took advantage of his 3" Reach advantage, and slight-edge in quickness.

    But Antonio came back with a sharp 'left-right' to the head that got the attention of the Champion.

    Round 1 ..... {5-5} > 'Even'
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    After the 1st-Round >

    Antonio's cornermen {Hely Montes, Ramiro Machado and Willie Ketchum} told their fighter to 'Be Cautious'
    for the fiirst few Rounds, and to focus on a tight-defense while putting on the pressure.

    American - Willie Ketchum told Antonio >
    "Do not reach for him. Be patient, and move in close while keeping your hands up. You have to wear him
    down some, by making him work. We have a long way to go Antonio."

    Round 2

    For the first-Minute, Antonio did what he was instructed. The strong Venezuelan kept his guard up, while
    moving in close on the 'reed-thin' Champion.

    At the {1:00 Mark}, Antonio got off a good series of left-jabs, and then caught the Champion with a good
    right-hand to the mid-section.

    Moments later, Antonio scored with a 'triple' left-jab to the face, and Shozo 'stumbled' backwards and went
    to the canvas with his feet flying up in the air towards the ceiling lights.

    The Japanese Referee - Alfredo Garza did 'not' rule it a Knockdown, and stated that Shozo Saijo was
    'off-balance' and stumbled, and that it was 'a slip'.

    Upon rising, the Champion became more aggressive, and attacked the Challenger with a series of punches
    that were below the belt.

    At the {2:10 Mark}, the Referee warned Shozo for 'low-blows'.

    Over the last 30-Seconds of the Round, Antonio demonstrated better technique and superior punching-power,
    as he drove the Champion backwards on 'two occasions'.

    Round 2 ....... {5-4} > Antonio Gomez
