Whatman out with a flurry of punches, it isn't until late in the round that Cannon retaliates. Second round was little done as both fighters now exhausted. Third round was more pacing. Fourth round was a lot of thrown misses. Cannon connects on a few in the fifth, and may have swung the fight at that point.
