The first round was slow, Truax primarily
testing Crayton with his jab. The pace picked up during round 2
with Traux landing solid 1, 2 combinations, which toward the end
of the round, sent Crayton against the ropes. Once there, Truax
hit Crayton with two strong right hands just before the bell rang.
Round 3 had more clinches from Crayton, who used the hold to hit
Truax in the body and in the back of the head. Crayton began to
look tired and tried to pull Truax into more and more clinches,
which seemed like the only circumstances that he was able to land
any shots. In round 4, Truax’s jabs increased in authority,
signaling the beginning of the end for Crayton. Truax again sent
Crayton to the ropes, where he unloaded fierce punches to the head
and body causing Crayton to close up as he tried to block them.
After that onslaught, Traux lead Crayton into the red corner where
Traux inundated Crayton with loud thudding punches to the head and
body. Before he could finish his work, Crayton’s corner threw
a large the towel into the ring ending the fight at 2 minutes and
seven seconds into the fourth round. The crowd literally jumped
to its feet as ref Gary Meizwa pulled the two fighters apart. Truax
ended the match with a smile, clearly proud of how successfully
he outboxed and outpunched the veteran fighter.
