Phan is chasing and Garcia misses with the big overhand right. Jab lands for Garcia and then two shots that miss. Nice body kick by Phan so Garcia lands one of his own. Right hand by Garcia. Great combination by Phan. Poor form by Garcia means a hard counter by Phan lands. Garcia keeps throwing the winging punches and Phan is just using much more simple technique to land jabs to the head and body. Phan with a nice accurate combination, Garcia wings back and misses all of his shots so of course the announcers talk about how much heart Garcia has. Phan clearly won this round in my eyes, but I'm sure the judges will give it to Garcia...that's what always happens.

The round ends and I think it was absolutely a 10-8 round for Phan as he was extremely close to finishing it.

Garcia can't get the takedown he shoots for and he is exhausted now. Phan is opening up now and Garcia is just throwing arm punches. Big uppercut by Nam. Nam is landing cleaner shots all round but I guess Garcia throwing a lot of punches probably matters more to judges. Why do I feel like we're about to see Garcia pull off another theft? 10-9 Phan on my card makes it 30-26.

Official Scorecard: 29-28 Garcia, 30-27 Phan, 29-28 Garcia. Leonard Garcia wins by split decision. That was absolute robbery. That is horrid.
