ROUND BY ROUND
JOSE PEDRAZA vs ANTONIO LOZADA JR.
Round 1: Lozada opens up with a jab to the body and head. Lozada pressure more and throws a number of punches that back Pedraza to the ropes. Double left hook to the body comes from Lozada. Pedraza bounces around and leads with a right hand that lands. Counter right hand lands for Pedraza as Lozada lands a jab. Lozada stands in and tries to impose his considerable height and length on Pedraza – he’s a goddamn 6-foot lightweight. Counter body shot lands for Pedraza but Lozada comes back with a dozen more punches in response. Sharp jab lands for Pedraza. I think Lozada takes the opening round. Lozada 10-9.
