Round 2: More of an aggressive style by Makdessi to start, but quickly, Trinaldo gains the center and is on the attack. Anytime Makdessi looks to string something together, he is stopped by Trinaldo. The threat of the power that Trinaldo holds in his hands and kicks is definitely bothering Makdessi. The corner of Makdessi believes that Trinaldo is slowing down.

Round 3: Makdessi being a bit more pro-active, taking the center and forcing Trinaldo on his bicycle. He still hasn’t really been able to get his offense going for the most part. Neither fighter has really put much together here in the final round, but when strikes have connected, it has been Trinaldo the winner of the exchanges.
