Matias seemingly needed a knockout or several knockdowns headed into the final three minutes. His legs just weren't there to get the necessary leverage on his punches, however. Puello used constant lateral movement to force Matias to follow him around the ring. A clinch by Puello allowed him to reset and land a long left hand. Matias was unable to adjust as Puello scored with body shots. Puello slipped a right hand and shot off a flinging left just before the bell.
