Alexander Volkanovski vs. Max Holloway round-by-round results

Round 1: 10-9 Volkanovski

A total stand-up round, but the champion landed several scoring blows with both the left and the right. He’s talking during the round and saying he’s too quick for Holloway, and so far he’s right.

Round 2: 10-9 Volkanovski

A huge cut has opened right over Holloway’s left eye, and unless his corner can get it stopped we’re not going the distance. Besides one takedown attempt by Volkanovski, he simply dominated with the stand up using mostly punches. A 64-40 lead on significant strikes for the champ so far, and it feels like an even more dominating fight than that stat so far.

Round 3: 10-9 Volkanovski

More of the same in a clinic of boxing from the man who has already won this matchup twice. There is no room and not a ton of activity from Holloway, and now that we’ve crossed the Scorecard Rubicon, he’s going to have to do something dramatic to win this fight.

Round 4: 10-9 Volkanovski

The technical show from Volkanovski continues, as a leaking Holloway continually gets opened up as his cut men do their best. It’s 145-108 for the champion on significant strikes, but the much more damaging ones have come from him as well.

Round 5: 10-9 Volkanovski

Five rounds that looked like clones of each other. A flawless performance from Volkanovski, who puts himself in the conversation as one of the best pound-for-pound MMA combatants on the planet. The trilogy is complete, and it’s a sweep for the Australian.
