Round one was a whole lot of feeling each other out; not many punches thrown. Round two looked to be a bit more of the same, then all of a sudden, the opponent, an Armenian, landed a combination that rocked the local guy back on his knees, and it was joined. Punches rained down on both fighters, both men getting knocked back into (and saved by, in my opinion) the ropes on several occasions. At 2:45 of round two, Mkrtchian stung him with a left hook to the head. Then, in the third, the Armenian guy just came out swinging, and didn't stop. The local started out well, aggressively, but he began to clam up, keeping his hands up defensively, and began to wobble. Finally, the ref called it in the last minute of the third round.
