- All three judges awarded the opening round to Degli and gave Raposo the second and third rounds, a split-in-rounds scoreline that produced matching 29-28 cards.
- Official fight stats show Raposo landed 71 of 197 significant strikes to Degli’s 48 of 137, with Raposo credited for 23 body strikes and Degli leading in leg strikes ten to seven.
- A cut opened on Raposo’s left head area in round three and bled down his chest, but he kept pressing forward, reversed a late takedown attempt, and finished the full fight.
