Both guys out swinging for the fences, good damaged caused but no definite leader. Second round was more of the same, but with Aldred mixing in some kicks. Martin came to play for round 3 with some big opening shots and Aldred seems to have huddled in the corner. Aldred replies in the third round. Much more strikes landed by Martin than Aldred, but no real damaged caused with no stamina left for either fighter. This will likely go down to the wire again. Aldred out first with kicks and punches, Martin retaliates, this was to close of a fight.
Mike Aldred looks like he's feeling the pressure.

Both guys out swinging for the fences, good damaged caused but no definite leader. Second round was more of the same, but with Aldred mixing in some kicks. Martin came to play for round 3 with some big opening shots and Aldred seems to have huddled in the corner. Aldred replies in the third round. Much more strikes landed by Martin than Aldred, but no real damaged caused with no stamina left for either fighter. This will likely go down to the wire again. Aldred out first with kicks and punches, Martin retaliates, this was to close of a fight.
