2-0 Armfield. He is just ahead everywhere right now. 

This is high level stuff and they are good fighters fighting a mostly stricking fight but for some reason I am not that entertainined. Pretty dry fight.

Katona has high fight IQ to put Armfield against the cage like that at the end of every round. If he was losing a close round those last 30 seconds may be fresh on the judges' minds and sway them his way

Let me make a guess, they are showing scorecards in the fight all showing 2 - 0 Armfield. I am going to go out on a limb and say thats to make people bet him. 

Lets see who actually wins the judges decision.

Katona should be looking for the finish he's been doing good on the feet in this round. Takedown isn't advisable

Katona was like -200 or -300 live despite losing at least one round

Katona clearly won the 3rd. The 1st 2 rounds could have gone either way. Probably a split decision coming

I didn't pay much attention because I had to do some stuff during the fight, but I see people scoring it for both sides. So I'm really curious as to how these judges are going to score this fight
