117-111 too wide, but I like the 115-113 cards. Hitchins was able to blunt Lemosโ offense and sharp shoot enough in the middle of the fight to pull it out. Underdog against Matiasโฆ.Lopez and Haney. #HitchensLemos #HitchinsLemos
Lemos rocked Hitchins in rd 8, had him in trouble. #boxing #HitchinsLemos
2-1 Lemos. Heโs working accordingly. Wild, Wide, and AGGRESSIVE. Hitchins needs more everything
