Close fight at the beginning with slight advantage for Silva who was connecting the best punches. However, Ismael was getting more aggressive as the fight progressing obtaining a very good knock down in the 3 round that defined the fight. Silva run out of gas so wasn’t able to sustain the attack and move to the offensive which was really required to win the bout.
