The round ended with Abe connecting with a leg kick.

Jingliang had Abe stumbling with a right hand. Abe connected with a right hand over the top. A clean right hand found the target for Jingliang. Abe was nailed with a kick to the body. Round two was all Jingliang.

About one minute into the final frame, Jingliang landed a left hook. He kept pushing forward with leg kicks. Abe was popped with a stiff shot to the chin. Jingliang again connected with the right hand. Yet another right hand landed for Jingliang. The final horn sounded and the result was clear.
