Here's the biggest factor in this fight - both guys had energy to start it off but by the end there was nothing left. Secondly, Thammer's decision to mix it up with kicks really held Aldred back, and despite the damage caused, it seemed to be more of a technical victory for Thammer than it was a strength performance by Mike "needs his space" Aldred.
