Ciryl Gane arrested Rozenstruik’s attention early in round one, snapping heavy jabs as he stayed light on his feet. ‘Bigi Boy’ kept looking for check hooks, which landed occasionally as both men were trying to gauge the optimal striking range. Gane landed a late drag takedown late in the round in order to nullify the Rozenstruik’s nuclear power.
