    This fight followed such a repetitive pattern that there's really no need for me to provide a description, and it was such a dominant performance by Armstrong that there's really no need to lay out my score. Armstrong forced the fight in every round, and he won every round. Technically, it was an action fight, but I found it anti-climactic. The two just went all over the ring, and nothing really ever happened. Even the crowd got tired of it by round 3. I was really surprised. I saw this one like a year, maybe two years ago, and I liked it a lot, but just didn't get very much enjoyment out of it this time around.

    Verdict: Considering Armstrong and Arizmendi's fourth fight is on film and is only 12 mins., I would suggest watching that one instead and skipping this one. There's really nothing in this one you can't get out of IV, and I found that the better performance and better fight.
