What a crazy fight. Roy took round 1 by a definitely noticeable margin. The second around was pretty even, but Frye seems to have much better recovery. So when the fighters came out for round 3, Frye had the edge. He used that edge to move ahead in the overall damage in the fight. He piled a STRONG 4th round on top of that, leaving Roy in a bad position for round 5. But Roy doesn't eat I mean DIE easily. Early in round 5, Roy just SLAMS Frye with a fight-changing flurry. It drops him. And the fight is over. Roy wins. Good, good fight. Going into round 5, my money would have been on Frye, either by decision or KO.

What a crazy fight. Roy took round 1 by a definitely noticeable margin. The second around was pretty even, but Frye seems to have much better recovery. So when the fighters came out for round 3, Frye had the edge. He used that edge to move ahead in the overall damage in the fight. He piled a STRONG 4th round on top of that, leaving Roy in a bad position for round 5. But Roy doesn't eat I mean DIE easily. Early in round 5, Roy just SLAMS Frye with a fight-changing flurry. It drops him. And the fight is over. Roy wins. Good, good fight. Going into round 5, my money would have been on Frye, either by decision or KO.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
