In a slow-paced first round, both fighters tried to get into a rhythm and battled competitively in the clinches. After that, Green was never close to harming Ward. Ward dictated the action, hitting Green and then tying him up. Green managed to land a counter left hook toward the end of round two, although Ward responded swiftly with his own lunging left hook.
