Gazani je stopil naprej in pritiskal na akcijo večino noči, s svojimi trdnimi boksarskimi sposobnostmi v svoj prid. Petje je lahko kontriral z visokimi koleni in hudimi telesnimi udarci, kar je na koncu pripeljalo do večinske odločitve.

Linderman je v bitki že zgodaj utrpel velik rez nad desnim očesom in kljub nenehnemu toku krvi, ki mu je tekel po obrazu, še vedno se je odločil, da bo stal v žepu in zamenjal Johnsona.

Ključi so zmagali s soglasno odločitvijo (59-55, 58-56, 59-55) v vznemirljivem boju, kjer je Luna ves čas prihajala naprej in silila Johnsona, da se je vmešal celo noč.
