Green opened the fight in his usual relaxed posture, hands low and confident. Gibson didn't rush with his boxing early, instead targeting the legs with kicks. He tried to go upstairs once, but Green barely raised his guard in time to deflect it. Green showed little respect for Gibson, taunting him with his stance and constant chatter. To Gibson's credit, he threw plenty of kicks, but few had real impact. Whenever Gibson committed with his hands, Green was slipping cleanly and firing back.
