Both guys came out ready to throw down, with the unlikely Aldred causing more damage. The second round saw more punches thrown by Aldred, but very little to no damage caused. Right off the bell for the third, Corey came out throwing haymakers. Aldred recovered more stamina heading into the fourth round. Really, this came down to which guy could suck in more air to do something, and this proves that anything can happen in ML. Aldred is terrible, but Hart lost to him, off-day or what?

Both guys came out ready to throw down, with the unlikely Aldred causing more damage. The second round saw more punches thrown by Aldred, but very little to no damage caused. Right off the bell for the third, Corey came out throwing haymakers. Aldred recovered more stamina heading into the fourth round. Really, this came down to which guy could suck in more air to do something, and this proves that anything can happen in ML. Aldred is terrible, but Hart lost to him, off-day or what?
