Description of bout, according to promoter Brian Halquist Productions:

Two judges scored in favor of Demyanenko: (97-92) (95-94), while the other judge scored in favor of Frias: (96-93). The big moment in this fight was halfway in the 7th round when Demyanenko landed a left hook to the cheek of Frias that knocked him down. Frias was able to get back up after taking all 10 seconds to stabilize. When the round resumed, Demyanenko attacked Frias with a barrage of combos that put Frias on the ropes and in serious danger of another knockdown. Knowing the fight was close, Frias amped up his power in the 10th round and was centimeters from landing a devastating uppercut that possibly could have ended the fight, but the last minute attempt for a knockdown was avoided by Demyanenko.

Demyanenko keeps his record perfect as it improves to 22-0-0 with 12 Knockouts. Frias drops to 19-6-1; all losses coming via decision.
