NICHOLAS WALTERS vs JASON SOSA

Round 1: Sosa active to start, and he's got a good KO percentage, so we'll see. He's stepping way up in class here. Hook to the body from Walters. Left hook upstairs from Sosa, partially blocked. Hard right to the body from Walters. Another one gets in there as Sosa tries to jab up top. Left hooks to the body, one from each man. Walters really targeting to the body here in round one, softening Sosa. Walters 10-9

Sosa digging to the body, and then Walters rips in an uppercut. Sosa back with an uppercut of his own. Can't argue with this. Walters 10-9, 20-18

Round 3: CompuBox had Walters at 29/51 in the second round. That sort of accuracy from a power puncher adds up fast. Sosa working a lot but Walters is picking off a lot of his work. Walters 10-9, 30-27

Round 4: Every round thus far has been competitive, Walters doing just a bit more, with a bit more oomph on his shots. Feels like Walters is just steadily breaking him down. But Jason Sosa is there. It's an admirably game effort so far. He's also not winning rounds, though, and time is against him now. Walters 10-9, 40-36

Round 5: Counter right from Walters hurts Sosa, but Sosa gets his legs back under him pretty quickly, or is at least pretending they're back. He's throwing, anyway. The rounds all have a similar pace and feel to them at this point. Sosa starting to look at a little frustrated by that pattern, because he just can't seem to make any progress despite his hard work. I think most of us can identify with that in our lives. Also, what's up with wives, how they like TV we don't like? Haha. #comedy Walters 10-9, 50-45

Round 6: Sosa has started staying out of the pocket quite as much, and Walters isn't closing that distance. Maybe he has no real desire to, since he's still winning the fight at a bit more distance. Walters 10-9, 60-54

Round 7: This is getting really one-sided at this point. This round is pretty much all Walters; Sosa is still there and fighting, but he's not looking as fresh, and he's getting beaten up and rocked around a little bit. Body work is still there from Walters. Walters 10-9, 70-63

Round 8: Either Walters' shots don't have the zip they did at 126, or Sosa is tougher than a two dollar steak. Walters 10-9, 80-72

Round 9: Hey, Sosa comes out with a hard right to the body, then one upstairs. He's still here. Walters gets back into the round after a sort of awkward start, and he takes over the rest of the round. Walters 10-9, 90-81

Round 10: Bernard has called Sosa "Salsa" a few times. That's worth noting. To me, anyway. Walters dominates another round, though in a way it feels closer. The rounds were close early, less so as the fight wore on and Sosa's success rate began to drop. Clean shutout for Nicholas Walters. Walters 10-9, 100-90
