A good fight from both gents here. Guida had a set game plan, stuck to it, and did so effectively. chiesa seemed to be comfused about whether he wanted to strike or wrestle, and the result was a mixed mess of a fight from him. His stand-up was effective, he had some damage going for him in the GnP, but just didn't sustain either attack.
