Summary[]
Mashiba lands punches with his Flicker Jabs, keeping Aaron at a distance in the middle of the fifth round. When Aaron gets past the Flicker Jabs, Mashiba connects with a Chopping Right. Mashiba lets his guard down since he thought he had got him, however, Aaron stays standing and Mashiba is hit by multiple body blows. During the eighth round, Mashiba tries to get away from a barrage of body blows when he gets hit on chin by an intentional headbutt. With his face uncovered, Mashiba gets hit by a left hook, causing him to slip when he tried to throw a punch. When he gets up, he becomes angry due to the foul, however, he responds to the audience's cheers with legal boxing despite the repeated fouls done by Aaron. While escaping the ropes, Mashiba trips over Aaron's foot due to Aaron putting his foot out on purpose, causing Mashiba to lose balance and go down from a left hook he couldn't block from the loss of balance.
