What happened

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

Fernando battered Tobias throughout, using punches and kicks to all levels rather than hunting a single finish, and dropped him with a jab in the second round.

The end came early in the third, at 1:10, when a knee to the body finished what the accumulated damage had started.
