Round 12:

An unlikely Pickering KO is the only thing that can seperate Appleby from his title. Short hooks from Pickering, after Appleby presses forward. Appleby swinging hooks.Jab and a hook from Pickering, and a clubbing right returned hard into the Pickeirng guard. Right hook from Appleby as Pickering comes in. Uppercut from Pickering in the clinch, then a jab and right from Appleby. Appleby teeing off now with hooks and a body shot before Pickering slithers out. Pickering with a right that's enough to keep the ref happy. Clinch, and Pickeirng with a fewhooks, but once they're at range Appleby hits a few more home. Right hand from Pickering. Bit of wrestling and they both go down.

Appleby's round, but he looks disappointed not to get the KO.
Appleby 119-111 on mine.
