== Bout Summary ==

Andrade withstood an all-out assault by Kessler, refusing to fall despite being hit 348 times during the bout. Andrade landed only 95 times himself, but fought valiantly and managed to bloody Kessler's nose. In rare display of respect, Kessler embraced Andrade at the beginning of the final round as opposed to the traditional tapping of the gloves.
