Still not over this, #GoreWilliams.

Williams was a slight favorite despite both fighters being new to boxing exhibitions. His height and reach advantages served him well in the first round.
Gore tried a bulldog approach to start, looking to get inside against Williams. Williams was able to turn him away with a stiff jab, and he didn't have much success with it. Williams was able to stun Gore with a jab and hard right hand in the first round.
The second round was a bit of a mess, with both fighters landing on the canvas, but not because of any great punching. Gore cracked Williams early in the round, and he kept himself upright.
After getting his balance back, Williams threw a couple of punches and finished off the surge by shoving Gore into the ropes and nearly out of the ring, leading to a brief break as Gore was checked out by the doctor. Gore returned the favor a few seconds after the restart, rushing Williams and sending him tumbling onto the floor.

The third round was much more controlled and saw Williams impress with a few stinging combinations and trap his opponent on the ropes. Gore had difficulty generating offense because he was exhausted, and a few wild haymakers missed the mark.

Gore doesn't really want to be there anymore and they are both gassing.

Both fighters ran out of gas in the fourth round. Gore and Williams both managed to land punches, but it was mostly the two exhibitionists who were trying to hang on until the final bell.

Williams won the fight in the fourth. This bout was an exhibition, so it won't go on anyone's record, but that's a commendable performance for the former NBA point guard.

Williams made it clear after the bout that he had no desire to continue boxing, and that he would be content with the bragging rights afforded by the judges. Gore wished he had done better, but he was still happy for Williams.
