Lesnevich was hampered late in this fight by cuts and swelling, as his left eye was swollen shut and cut below the same eye. Through the 8th round, Lesnevich appeared to have had an edge. However, Matthews swept the last two rounds over his wounded foe. The Seattle Times scored the bout 4-3-3 in rounds for Lesnevich. Matthews was warned for headbutting in the 6th round, with a headbutt that appeared to exacerbate the swelling.
