    Round 3
    Berinchyk is barging in and trying to hook wide around the side, but Iglesias has the straight left waiting to catch Berinchyk on the chin. Iglesias squeezes his elbows together forming a V-shaped guard and clapping his fists together to trap Berinchyk's hands when he goes headhunting. Iglesias is slipping and rolling with shots on the inside and stepping around Berinchyk to keep him constantly having to readjust his footing. Wild shots by Berinchyk, loading up and trying to scythe Iglesias to the body. Iglesias is countering, moving around the Ukrainian, and tying up where he needs to. Straight left scoring low and high for Iglesias. 1-2 up top. Jab to the chin by Berinchyk, but he's forced to the back foot. Iglesias keeps Berinchyk in retreat and covering up, clapping shots off his guard. Berinchyk gets a right uppercut to the belt line while holding. Iglesias slaps him with a right hook stepping around after getting cautioned for a hit on the break. Wild shots by Berinchyk, missing. Iglesias backs up and bends his knees, then springs in to hold until the bell.

    IB's score: 7-3 and 19-9 to Iglesias.

    Will they rob the Cuban??

    I like Berinchyk, but he lost this clear. Very nice fight.

    Berinchyk looks like hes got the makings of an exciting and potentially successful pro. If he can apply that style over 12, people are gonna' get ****ed up.

    Igelsias was the much sharper of the two. He's done enough to take this.

    One too many wars for Berinchyk perhaps. Iglesias looked great the whole tounrament.

    Promoters should kidnap him while he's in London.

    Yeah. They're taking very long commercial & studio analysis breaks between bouts; I think it's to accommodate American (and probably British) TV.
