"Noel confused Gonzalez in the early rounds, plodding ahead in carefully calculated spurts from the middle of the ring.

Backing Gonzalez to the corners, Noel frequently faked right hands and fired thunderous left hooks to the jaw and chin of Gonzalez, who had dropped his defenses.

The fight was never far from Gonzalez' reach. In round five, Noel's left eye swelled up from a punch after the fighters came together. In rounds eight and 14, Gonzalez opened streams of blood from Noel's right eye." -- Associated Press
