  Vikas has more experience and will have to go for a knockout.

  Vikas will receive treatment at the end of the round as he has a just under above his left eye. The clock has been stopped. They get back now and the Japanese lands another punch.

  Okazawa starts with a flurry of punches and Vikas defends before responding.

  Okazawa pushes Krishan to the ropes and the referee makes a 'no holding' call.

  Both boxers are attacking and Okazawa lands a great punch.

  Then Vikas lands a southpaw hook in the middle of the ring.

  End of the first round, wow! The first three minutes flew past.

  Seems to have gone Okazawa's way and we wait for the official scores to confirm.

  Yes, 10-9 the lead with the Japanese
