== Bout Summary ==
Andries came out and set an up-tempo pace in the opening round likely earning the round with some decent right hands. Andries continued to establish himself in Round 2 throwing power combinations early that slipped through the guard of Harding; who threw, but with less success. Andries was warned in Round 2 for a low blow. By the end of the round, Harding had already begun to develop swelling to his left eye. Both fighters worked predominantly behind a jab in Round 3 and Harding, to the cheers of the crowd, landed well both to the body and head. A left hook wobbled the legs of Harding in the round. Although it didn't put him in immediate danger of going down, it did seem to take a little gas out of him. By the end of the round, a slight cut opened under the left eye of Harding and Andries had tired some from pressing the action. Harding scored with the jab and worked the body in Round 4 as Andries threw heavy, and at times wild, power shots. A few of Andries right hands landed to the head of of Harding. Harding continued to pump the jab in Round 5 and had Andries backpedaling. He scored with some nice uppercuts and right hands in the round. Despite losing the round, Andries landed a pair of solid right hands. Both fighters exchanged in close quarters in Round 6; a round that could have been scored either way. Andries took it to Harding right from the bell in Round 7. He back Harding into the ropes with power shots and consistently snapped back his head. Harding fired back with flurries of his own. Andries landed a huge uppercut with Harding against the ropes as both fighters were visibly tiring. Three consecutive looping shots got around Harding's guard and another, almost windmilling overhead right sent Harding to the mat. He got to a knee at the count of nine, but was unable to beat the referee's count. Andries did a forward cartwheel at the count of ten.
