Round 1:

Laryea oipens with a few lefts to the body, both orthodox fighters. Straight right from Laryea, but Ward lands a left hook of his own. Laryea looking to dominate, with hard rights coming in. Ward throwing a few jabs. Nice left to the body from Ward, but Laryea lands a couple of body shots. Flurry of body hooks rom Ward, but Laryea covering quite well. Left to the body from Ward, and he's now coming forward a lot more, Laryea landing a body shot on the counter. Jabs from Ward, and Laryea looking to throw long body shots. Fluury from Laryea well taken from Ward.

Fairly exciting first round, but both fighters giving as good as they got in my book.

10-10
