Round 6:

Cagey from Hughes, and Pickering leading with big right hands which worry Hughes each time. Pickering is patient too though, and lands two hooks as he retreats from a clinch. Uppercuts in the clinch from Pickering, who is moving well now. Does get caught with a jab though. If this goes 12 I'll eat my sock. Good jab from Pickering, who does get caught with a looping left hook though, and Pickering is in a bit of bother again. He wobbles on the ropes. Another big left, and Pickering is on the run. Pickering moving, and Hughes dfoesn;t have enough left to chase him down. Pickering stands still, and jabs as JHughes comes in now. This is wild brawling stuff, but a good hook from Pickering, but then ships another jab.

Hughes finishes well enough for a drawn round.

58-55
