The two drop their gloves and squareoff. Lessard is ducking real low and as the two come in to each other he has an upward motion that wobbles Godard a bit. Godard quickly regains his balance and these two open up and start chucking them hard! Godard with the rights, Lessard with the lefts. Nice and even at this point. They spin a bit, still throwing and this one's already a good one. Lessard now starts getting in a few unanswered shots and it's starting to look like that could be it when Godard returns fire with some really powerful shots - one makes Lessard's knees half-buckle, but he didn't go down on that one or the next shot which was almost as hard. It's looking like this could be the end and the linesmen come in fast. Nice showing by both guys, great fight.

It was surely an even fight but!
Godard was slightly better because of the end.
He shaked Lessard big time on his two shots.
So EDGe goes to E.Godard in this great/hard rookie-fight.

Great toe to toe battle both landing there fsir share of shots, Lessard buckled Godard on the first punch but he recovers then the start exchanging bigtime. i'll give Godard an edge for the last couple of rights he threw, if the linesman didnt step in Lessard would of been in trouble as Godard was throwingt bombs.
