Spoldi began the first with a two-handed body attack against Armstrong. In the 2nd round, Armstrong controlled the tempo as he used his edge in speed to land more effectively. In the 3rd, Armstrong drove Spoldi to the ropes, where he dropped Spoldi to one knee with several punches near the heart. Spoldi was up without a count, but Armstrong floored him again a few seconds later with another flurry. Spoldi, who was draped on the lower half of the bottom rope, was counted out.
