LARRY'S SCORE CARD: Fisher remained the aggressor and did the most damage I feel. He is a little bloody on the eye, but Stout is doing nothing nor changing his game plan to stop Fisher. Fisher's face is a mess, but he has done a lot more than Stout by beating him to shots all through out the round.

LARRY'S SCORE CARD: Very good round and I could see an argument for Stout here, but he looked very tied and in the end still didn't do that much I felt as Fisher kept the pressure on. I will go Fisher for the round and Unanimous Decision 30-27. Great fight.
-The Result: Spencer Fisher via Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
Joe is with Fisher. He feels great to avenge the loss, but he could see it as a draw. He dedicated it to his grand parents. He won't argue with the judges. He walks us through the replay and says he got his just as much and as hard. He puts over Stout. They hug after the fight.
