In a clash of two stylish competitors, Madni started best and won the first round by being more active, but in the second Mendy picked up the pace and clinched the next two stanzas with excellent boxing. It was shaping up to be a very interesting bout between well-matched fighters, but in the fourth round things took a dramatic turn.
