Ferguson looked sharp in the opening minutes of the fight. He peppered Green with a few punches from the outside even scoring a knockdown at one point. However, an accidental eyepoke from Green halted some of that momentum.
Green started connecting after Ferguson was given time to recover in a round that was close.
