What happened

The result, the defining moments, and what the verdict means.

Gore took the opening round by landing the more telling shots, and the second by staying in control after Luque spent early energy chasing a submission that never arrived.

By the third both men were visibly tired and the pace slowed, which suited the fighter already ahead. The cards read 30–27, 30–27 and 29–28 for Gore.
