Once again, Bryant Jennings is standing his ground, working from the outside, landing power shots, and not letting Wladimir Klitschko sit on his jab and set up his right hand as much as he might like.

Jennings and Klitschko both landed hooks early in the round, but Jennings did more busy work, including little flurries to the body. Klitschko may have felt he had to do something to stem the tide, or at least stem the illusion of the tide -- that is, if you still feel he’s handily winning this fight, or if he does. Boxing being boxing, nothing is for sure until it’s over.
Both had an argument in this round, and I liked what Jennings continued to do, and more and more Klitschko doesn’t look as comfortable as we normally see. Whether that’s creating more an illusion of Jennings’ success than what’s really happening is up for debate. I think Klitschko did win this round.
SB Nation scores the round 10-9 for Klitschko, who now leads 78-74
