Round 1
The two clinched up instantly, and Leben was looking for uppercuts. Two rights by Cochrane, no serious blows in the first period. 10-9 Cochrane.
Round 2
Good left Cochrane, but he ate an uppercut. Fighters clinch, and the bout heats up now, fists are flying. Straight left Leben, clinch, Cochrane fires back with a strong right. I think 10-9 Cochrane.

Leben goes forward, lands a straight right hand. Good combo, left hook Cochrane, right hand Leben. Tight round, 10-9 Cochrane.

Cochrane looks faster, he lands quick combos. Fighters clinch, body shot from Cochrane. Not much action in this frame. 10-9 Leben.
Round 5
Cochrane lands big right hand to the body. Leben eats few blows, then a body shot. Fighters clinch up, Cochrane lands first, then Leben fires back to the body. Awesome left from Leben, and now fighters trade shots in the clinch. Tight round, maybe 10-9 Cochrane, unsure.
