Terrion Ware Terrion Ware (13-3) will soon fight for RFA’s bantamweight title after earning a hard-fought victory over Joe Murphy (8-2) in a thrilling contender’s matchup. The bout served as the headlining bout of Friday’s RFA 23 event, which took place at The Hangar at OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, Calif., and aired on AXS TV. The two traded in the pocket in the opening round, and while Murphy seemed to be the attacking fighter, it was Ware’s counter strikes that were the most effective blows, and he drew blood from his opponent’s left eye. The pattern continued in the second, though a gritty Murphy refused to quit. A brief takedown threatened to change the flow, thought Ware got immediately back to his feet. Forced to stand and trade, Murphy obliged, though Ware’s counters remained sharp in the exchanges.
