Boots didn’t just start fast — he came out like a man determined to make the night short, violent, and unforgettable.
Round 1: Statement Made
Boots opened the fight snapping jabs like electric wires, each one landing clean and authoritative. Then came the switch — straight rights, a crisp one two, and a hook that cracked through Xander’s guard. The pressure built, the rhythm tightened, and suddenly Boots uncorked a brutal right hook that dropped Xander hard in the opening round.
With ten seconds left, Boots punctuated the frame with a thudding left hand, a reminder that the danger wasn’t over — it was only beginning.
Round 2: Confidence Meets Reality
Xander tried to reset, stepping into Round 2 with more confidence, but Boots kept landing the heavier artillery. Midway through the round, Boots shifted from southpaw to conventional — and immediately landed another sharp one two.
The champ dug to the body late, but Boots owned the round with cleaner, sharper work.
Round 3: Firefight in the Center
Boots opened the third by scoring downstairs, but Xander fired back with a stiff straight right that forced Boots to tie up. Moments later, Boots walked into another one two, and the two men stood center ring trading leather.
The champ landed a strong right that snapped Boots’ head back, but Boots answered in the final seconds with a right hand that knocked Xander backward. The message: you can touch me, but I’m determined to win.
Round 4: Body Breakdown
Boots went hunting the body in Round 4, and Xander felt every second of it. Successive right hooks folded the champion over, yet he stayed upright in the middle of the ring, stubborn and proud.
Boots landed another clean one two, then curiously stopped throwing his left — but even one hand was enough to control the round.
Round 5: The Cannon Shot
Xander started Round 5 beautifully, finally finding rhythm — until Boots detonated an uppercut that dropped him again.
When Xander rose, Boots exploded out of the corner like he’d been fired from a cannon. He battered the champion, crushed him to the body, and forced him to hold just to survive. Boots nearly finished him in the closing seconds, but Xander staggered to the bell.
Round 6: Wobbling the Champion
Boots stalked Xander to open the sixth, landing a heavy shot that wobbled the champ. On the ropes, Boots unleashed hooks that forced Xander to clinch again.
Even Boots’ jab made Xander grab hold. Boots eased off the gas late, letting the champion escape a round that could’ve ended the fight.
Round 7: The End Arrives
Boots didn’t wait long. Early in Round 7, he dropped Xander again, and this time the corner had seen enough. They stepped in, waving off the fight to protect their man from further punishment.
The stoppage wasn’t just mercy — it was acknowledgment. Boots had been too sharp, too powerful, too relentless.
A Night of Domination
This was Boots at his most destructive: switching stances, mixing levels, breaking down the body, and dropping the champion multiple times. Xander showed heart, but heart alone couldn’t withstand the storm.
Boots didn’t just win — he announced himself, violently and beautifully, as a force no one in the division can ignore. Above that he announced himself as a top pound for pound fighter in men’s boxing.
