00:00Pounds, Mr. Alexis Arguello!
00:12Lines, one hundred and thirty pounds!
00:18Adam, Pryor!
00:21Fifty-one! To Yeager!
00:30Aaron Pryor has been known to charge out at the opening bell, round one.
00:34Pryor with the first punch, he scores with the right hand.
00:37Up tempo, right from the opening bell.
00:40Well, I wouldn't be surprised if someone gets knocked down in the first round.
00:44Pryor, perpetual motion, he is right on top of Arguello, who gets off the ropes.
00:51The crowd already starting to cheer.
00:53Arguello with the right hand that scores on Pryor, whose legs buckle for a moment.
00:59Pryor seems to be hurt.
01:01Alex went to the body and was able to hurt Pryor for a while.
01:05A right hand by Arguello.
01:07This is the first time that I have to see Alex go at this pace in the early round.
01:12Here's a right hand by Pryor and Arguello is hurt.
01:21There's another right hand by Pryor and another right hand at a level.
01:25And Arguello gets off the ropes.
01:27And now I sense fatigue in Arguello.
01:31And you'll see Arguello just take control.
01:33And this is only the third round and that short right hand, that was the punch that put Kevin Rooney away.
01:38I will believe that Pryor starts to get in the arm room.
01:48And Pryor playing with Aaron, with Alexis Arguello here for a moment.
01:52That was not a damaging punch by Arguello.
01:58Pryor backs off.
02:00Arguello takes a good right hand from Pryor.
02:06And Pryor now putting on the pressure on the ropes.
02:09It was only the right hand though that scored.
02:14Over a period of time can wear a man down.
02:16That right hand caught Arguello in the gloves.
02:18But he did score with an uppercut and another left hand.
02:20And Arguello back on the right hand of his own.
02:22I don't believe Pryor is hurt.
02:24I think he was fading injury there.
02:26I do not believe he was hurt by that.
02:28He becomes very difficult to hit too.
02:30Just with that head roll that he has.
02:32He just takes a very tough target.
02:34That was an overhand right at the bell.
02:36Great old fighting head.
02:40The left hook by Arguello.
02:42Panama Lewis telling Pryor to double jam and come with the right.
02:44Another right hand by Arguello.
02:46With his punches.
02:47Arguello starts throwing punches under.
02:49There was a good left hook by Arguello.
02:51But it did not hurt Pryor who smiles back at him.
02:54And takes a right hand from Arguello.
02:58That was a little bit short.
03:01And that was not.
03:02That hurt Arguello.
03:03Arguello holds on here as Pryor forces the attack.
03:07Has definitely picked up the tempo.
03:10As he knows his man's in trouble.
03:12And uppercut knee right back with the left hand.
03:14That was a beautiful combination.
03:20There was a good right hand right on the eye.
03:22Arguello right at the moment again.
03:24Does not seem to have a lot of sting in his punches either.
03:26Well he's fighting a bigger man too.
03:27And there is a right hand and that might have hurt Pryor.
03:36And Arguello going downstairs and coming upstairs just as you mentioned Ray.
03:39And again takes a warning for low blows.
03:51Arguello starting to time Pryor a little bit better at the end of the 8th round.

04:05There's a right hand that causes Pryor to take a step back.
04:09And another right hand by Arguello.

04:25If these guys stand toe to toe someone will go down I feel.

04:39I sense that uh...

04:43And the blood above the eye has not really shown.
