Machado dominated the first round, taking MVP down and controlling from the ground for over three minutes.
In my opinion, I thought MVP won the second round, as I thought he did more work to just nick the round. However, the judges awarded the round to Machado Garry.
The third round was another dominant one from Garry and while I saw the fight 29-28 to Machado, the judges on the night gave all three rounds to the Dublin man.
