According to Sky
Herbie Hide is “the biggest name ever to take part in Prizefighter.” Not so sure about that one.

Pretty amusing. In case anyone didn’t know, that’s Munroe’s day job (or in American, a garbageman).

Munroe vs. Terrazas Rd 1
A lot of tattoos going on in the ring. Terrazas has rosary beads tattooed onto him.
Munroe pumping out the jab to start, but both guys are kind of cautious. Terrazas doubling up the jab himself. Viking with a big right hand that whiffs. Terrazas showing a lot of good body movement. He may actually be better than people gave him credit for. Munroe with a couple more jabs, but I think he has yet to throw a right hand. Terrazas lands another couple jabs, but no punch other than a jab has landed for either fighter with about 30 seconds to go in the round. Both guys mostly staying out of range. Terrazas finally with a body shot.
Close feeling out round, but the body shot was the best punch of the round, and Terrazas’ jab was probably a bit more accurate as well.
Terrazas 10-9, but close.

Munroe vs. Terrazas Rd 2
Still a jabbing contest early in the round. Munroe might do well to try getting inside, but both guys are staying on the outside. Terrazas lands a combo. Munroe bum rushes in but doesn’t seem to land much. Lots of feinting, lots of jabbing, not a lot else so far.

It’s not a boring fight, but Munroe just isn’t doing what he would need to do to win. Munroe with a straight left to the body. Munroe doubles up the jab, but Terrazas is able to back out of the way.
If Terrazas wins, evidently he’s usually one of Nishioka’s sparring partners.
Another close round, probably could go either way, but a slight edge to Terrazaqs once again. He’s just a hair more accurate, and he’s been able to get out of the way of most of munroe’s shots.
Terrazas 10-9

Munroe needs to pick things up. It’s plausible that he won the first two rounds, but if the fight keeps going like this, it will be in Terrazas’ favor.

Munroe with lots of punches up against the ropes, pushing Terrazas back, but doesn’t land too mand of them. A few right hooks to the head do connect, and Terrazas is having a really tough time getting off of the ropes. This round is looking a lot like Arce-Angkota, where the two fighters haven;t moved for a minute, with Munroe imposing his will and Terrazas occasionally landing the good counter, but Munroe is throwing and landing much more. Great round for Munroe.

Munroe vs. Terrazas Rd 8
The Sky team has it 67-67 right now.
There should be open scoring for this fight, but I haven’t heard it yet. Terrazas with a couple of nice right hands that connect well. Munroe pushes Terrazas back into a corner again and unleashes about 15 right hooks in a row, 2 or 3 of which land. Terrazas with a couple of counters, and he runs backwartds, but gets trapped in another corner. Munroe unleashing more hooks to the body. Terrazas seems completely winded at this point, he[’s just not throwing back much anymore.
Munroe has thrown about 40 punches in a row now. Terrazas finally counters with a left hook, but Terrazas is mostly covering up and trying to let Munroe wear himself out. Now the uppercuts and body shots are mostly connecting. Terrazas just hasn’t done anything, and he’s exhausted. Munroe with about 10 right uppercuts that all land on Terrazas’s head, albeit weak ones. This round was an obliteration.
10-8 Munroe without a knockdown.
Munroe 76-75

Munroe vs. Terrazas Rd 9
The two both fire away but neither lands and they tie up. Munroe pushes back Terrazas again, but Terrazas is more interested in wrestling than fighting out of it now. Terrazas doesn’t look like he has his wind back. Left hook by Munroe to the body and TERRAZAS IS DOWN!!! Terrazas gets up at 8, but say ‘no mas’.

When he fights like he did in the last five rounds
which was also how he fought against Maludrottu, he’s tough to beat. I don’t know if Nishioka is the right fight for him to win a title, but he’ll have a shot.

BTW
Concepcion-Hammond is a great fight so far.

Great round by round coverage Brick
I haven’t seen the fight yet but this is dynamite. BLH guys are hardcore.
"Anytime you go thirty rounds with a guy, try to kill each other, and have the utmost respect for each other, no one understands that, but guys who have been to war understand it." - Micky Ward on Arturo Gatti.
I'd recommend checking it out if you can get your hands on it
Neither fight was probably on the level of Pavlik-Martinez (simply because the fights weren’t as significant), but both of them were really good fights. The only thing that annoyed the hell out of me was that they skipped three rounds of Concepcion-Hammond. But the rounds they showed were great. Not the highest skill level in the world, but all action brawling.

btw thanks for grabbing this one
It was on my agenda, but then I got caught up with other bullshit. I did catch the fights after, both good fights.
