In the second half, the Ukrainian followed better, despite, once again, the Brazilian having managed to land two good blows. The fight continued well truncated, but with the volume presented at the beginning of the round, the Ukrainian won again in the opinion of the five referees.

Already behind in the decision, all the judges were already giving 20 to 18 for the Ukrainian, the only option for Hebert to win the fight was to go up and try for the knockout, or a victory so convincing, that the judges would give 10 to 8 in the scoreboard in the assault. And that’s what the Brazilian did, he landed a beautiful blow that took the Ukrainian to the ground.
