Stamina was the bigger factor in this fight. Between rounds, Hart was recovering a fair bit more and was able to do more for the first few minutes as it went on. On the plus side, Whatman landed some good shots of his own, but the damage was extremely low, but he withstood some big blows throughout the fight and reached a decision.
