Time of stoppage: 0:48 of round five

• Algieri down in round four and twice in round five. The first time was on his back. The second time Spence finished him on the ropes.
• Spence down near the end of round four from a push or similar, ruled no knockdown. Algieri celebrated briefly. The round then ended.
• Spence dominated the bout with jabs in center ring and won every round. Algieri moved well and tried to both land jabs and counter.
• Algieri's game plan flaw was settling on the ropes at various times, giving Spence a free target, where Spence ultimately finished him.
• Perhaps Algieri could have gotten up and continued, as he did numerous times against Manny Pacquiao. He was nine points down though.
