Huck was visibly slower and paunchier than in his heyday, but some of the hard-won skills and instincts still rose to the surface. He opened by searching with his jab, eventually landing a straight right hand to the body that seemed to startle Pejsar. In the second round, Pejsar engaged, looking after his body work – and it opened up a space for him to land a crossing right hand upstairs. Huck, perhaps frustrated, tangled with his opponent inside and shoved him to the canvas. When Pejsar rose and pressed him, Huck responded with a couple of heavy right hands and a left hook.
