The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Both fighters are only really looking to counter, so after a good 30 seconds of circling each other endlessly, the referee has stepped in and told them both to be more aggressive. Nthwane uses decent footwork to sidestep a right hand from Li Citra. A little jabbing left from Nthwane on the counter but it doesn't find it's target. Nthwane should think about turning a few of those tyres round his middle into muscle if he wants people to take him seriously as an athlete. We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up. Li Citra with a nice cross. Nthwane blocks a jab.
That's one minute gone in the round. Nthwane bobs and weaves well there to avoid the strikes. Li Citra throws a hook to the side of Nthwane's head but Nthwane sees it coming and ducks under it beautifully. And an attempted straight right on the counter from Nthwane! But no joy. Good exchange - Nthwane coming out on top. Li Citra ducks under an overhand right and circles away with a smile on his face.
That's two minutes gone in the round. Well. There's a bit of a lull in the action here and the crowd are starting to get restless. This fight brought to you by 5M nutrition - it's mmmmm tasty. Nice jab by Nthwane. Nthwane slips under a jab. Nthwane uses good footwork to get in and out and land a nice right hand before Li Citra has time to react. Both fighters are looking to counter, which isn't making for the most exciting fight in the world. Boooooooooooooooooooo!!! God, this has been a terrible round. Come on you two, sort yourselves out! Li Citra on the wrong end of an overhand right that came out of nowhere.
And that's the end of the fight! Poloko Nthwane comfortably won the final round on my scorecard. Well Nthwane has outworked and out performed his opponent in all aspects of the game today. He was simply too good and the decision should be no more than a formality. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
