shows Rogers neither eyes that that nice little inside kick and follow it up with his right hand Randy Couture did against if Sylvia long ago one of the most electric viewers I've ever experience can Columbus Ohio right uppercut by Rogers right now you're seeing that Daniel facial is the guy that's ever to control the position of this fight Sal Rogers is showing I would like to take the ground he cannot do that Pfizer has been beautiful in his wrestling defense and he's the one that's really controlling the distance of this fight but just over three minutes left talk about adjustments you want to see from each fighter going down the stretch while adjustment for Sal Rogers right now quit throwing just the one jab like he is right here I want you to if you're gonna throw that jab then bring that right kick I want you to have multiple make Nigel go backwards if you're vice shall in return I need you to make sure that huge pressure every time that he throws that kick I need a right hand or a left hook coming back as a counter Rogers just poking away with the jab but on his back pointed and he has to start opening up as well because as you say it is a close fight who would have to imagine on the scorecards and Rogers now backpedaling setting his feet but it's vital who's throwing this punches through the president face that one everything is about what lads and how it lands inside kick again but Rogers you're right I'm trotting with the jab nothing else all two bulls are gonna cause problems you want to cause problems free opponent by throwing one thing at him and not causing enough of a problem so right hand by Rogers again coming up after the finish of the opening rounds following the championship fight between Patricia pitbull and one part Selena we will [Music]
