Fight Report
Round-by-round fight report from Si.com
Round 1: Neither Tate nor Demoor looked great early. Both guys had their chins in the air, but Tate landed solid body shots throughout the first round, which was likely enough to win him the round.
Round 2: Demoor landed a solid right hand early in the second round, but Tate responded with a good combination. A lot of clinch work from both fighters. Tate looks tired after the second round, but should be up 2-0 at this point.
Round 3: A solid flurry from Demoor in the third round appeared to wobble Tate, then Demoor had Tate against the ropes in the middle of the round, but Tate recovered. The third round definitely belonged to Demoor.
Round 4: Tate ate a big shot from Demoor early, and Tate looks gassed. The tide has certainly turned in favor of Demoor. Tate then landed a big shot from Demoor in the clinch that cut Demoor's nose. Both guys are visibly exhausted, and the fight is mostly clinching at this point. Hard round to score because neither guy looks great. It could very well be 2-2.
Round 5: Demoor cracked Tate with a huge uppercut in the fifth round that had Tate wobbled, but Tate weathered the storm. Demoor hurt Tate again shortly after. Tate is holding on for dear life, and his right eye is busted open.
Round 6: Demoor lands an early flurry on Tate and rocks him again. Tate looks like a zombie at this point and is barely throwing any offense. The fight ends without a finish. Credit to both guys for lasting the entire fight.
