Blitman came out aggressively to start the bout. After an even first round, Blitman shook Massey and had him in retreat early in the 2nd round, and later in the round knocked him down with a left-right to the chin. The two engaged in a toe-to-toe brawl after that until the 5th round, with Massey's leg sagging a couple times. Blitman began to become arm weary in the 6th round, and in the 7th round Massey began to find his range and score on Blitman. Massey controlled through the 9th round, but Blitman had enough left to win the 10th round, to perhaps earn himself the decision.
