In the first round, it was all Till. In the second round, Till drove Stewart around the ring for the most part. In the third round, it was Stewart having his way. Did Till punch himself out?
In the fourth round, when it looked like Till got his second wind in the first minute, Stewart took over, drawing blood from the nose, and later in the final minute, cut Till’s right eyebrow.
In the fifth round, Stewart managed to get the best of it in a brawl. In the sixth round, Stewart had Till against the ropes the entire round, landing punches between the gloves held high by Till. Till got in some return punches but was outlanded.
In the seventh round, it went back and forth with Till against the ropes, getting his counter punches in when he wasn’t getting hit by Stewart. In the eighth and final round, Till’s cut on the eyebrow was reopened.
The fans went wild with his one. Stewart got the best of it until the last few seconds when Stewart was halfway through the ropes, and when he came off the ropes, Till landed a left on the chin, dropping Stewart for an 8-count from Referee Benny Decroos. Stewart ended with much swelling under his left eye.
The scores were 77-74, 77-74, and 77-73.

In the first three rounds, Price had an edge, switching from orthodox to southpaw and back, taking all three rounds. Mansilla held his own, though, behind after four rounds.

Price landed good body shots in the seventh round, especially with the left hook. Price has won all seven rounds up to this point.
In the eighth round, though, Price landed more, and Mansilla got in some body shots of his own. In the final minute, right after a jab from Mansilla on Price’s chin, Price went down on his back. He struggled to get up and seemed to barely beat the count, obviously hurt, as referee Ian John Lewis waved it off.
