Back and forth. Just dropping each other. Oh! We tagged him with that right hand. Good kick to the body. Will seems to be eating one and then trying to fire back after eating it. I don't know if this is the best idea being scored on the fight for this man. He's taking some hard shots to the body too. High pace first round. Oh, that landed through the guard. Nice knees to the body by Kosta. What happened? Can we hit him low? Kosta may be disputing. Right here. Just an accident. I know an accident. He's in pain, but I'm sure he's going to be okay. He's got a cup on. Look at that Boom No doubt about that That hurts Look at that Looks like an inside pressing kick Oh big shots by Paul Acosta Oh Romero comes back. Romero seems to have a hard time with his footing. He's slipping around. Yeah, that's a good read. Oh, man. Brutal body shots by Acosta. Oh. Body shot for next hook. Oh! Romero's close, too. Romero doing a nice job rolling with some of these Costa offerings. His mouth is open, though. He looks a bit fatigued. He can always explode, but he's happy to hear this happening. Whoo-hoo. Man, he hits hard. He hits so hard, and his pressure is just incredible. Oh, whoa. footwork also is kind of all over the place. He's got a chin on this right now. Yael Romero has a wrestling style footwork. That's why it looks all over the place. If you watch in a wrestling match, that's how he moves. And then he adds hands and other movements to it. Knees, kicks.
