In the first round, Charlo demonstrates that he has the speed and ring IQ to box Cota's ears off all night. He snaps his jab, sidesteps Cota's charges and befuddles the Mexican with accurate counter punches.
But Charlo unexpectedly switches from boxer to brawler in the second and meets Cota head on. He beats the Mexican at his own game savagely ripping in punches to the head and body, like he's taking out his frustrations of missing the rematch with Tony Harrison on Cota.
Despite being outgunned, Cota remains in the pocket and trades with Charlo, knowing that his only chance of pulling off an upset is to land a lucky punch. Midway through the third, both fighters unleash left hooks simultaneously. Charlo's is shorter, sharper and more compact and it gets to Cota's jaw first, sending him crashing face first to the canvass for the full count.

Yep. About right. Good stuff.
