    Round 1

    Fisher swats away Armstrong's wavy jab with a short game of pattycake, then walks him into the ropes and BATTERS him with the first chopping right thrown. Armstrong down and badly hurt. Beats the count but Fisher drives him into the ropes and rips a bunch of straight and looping rights on the head. Armstrong desperately covering up in vain but getting abused. Fisher lets off to save gas and Armstrong escapes the corner only to walk haphazardly onto a stiff jab that snaps his head back. Fisher begins to alternate jabs and sniping right hand leads from outside. Armstrong raising his guard over his flabby midsection, which jiggles as he blocks heavy jabs. Very weak shuriken jabs tossed out sidelong by Armstrong working his way in. Fisher counters with jabs on the gut and then chops him behind his left ear with another right hand. Fisher with ramrod jabs on the face and combinations on the body. Armstrong scared.

    10-8 Fisher

    Could be Joshua's comeback opponent next should he find a way to lose to Helenius tonight

    He's a better boxer than Fisher. Doesn't look like he's got power to KO Fisher but it could go the distance if they've got the lungs.

    20-17 Fisher, surprisingly game and lucid rebound round for Armstrong.

    good round for Fisher, Armstrong has real heart though. I suspect stoppage next round though for Fisher. Fisher clearly on PEDS though so disappointing.

    3rd for Armstrong, 4th to Fisher (nearly made it another 10-8 at the very end; ref could have ruled it a knockdown when the ropes held Armstrong up)

    39-36 Fisher

    I don't think he is

    They are family friends and he openly dislikes that aspect of the game

    However, who knows
