Barely attempting much in the way of offense in the third, Tezuka virtually gave the fight away to Caceres by allowing "Bruce Leroy" to dictate the pace with his jab, avoid half-hearted takedown attempts, and do some damage to Tezuka's left eye with a steady tempo of right-hand punches.The judges scored the bout 29-28 Tezuka, 30-27 Caceres, and 30-27 Caceres, giving him the Split Decision victory.
