Inoue got right to work and got in control of the fight, and things looked like it could have ended in the second when Inoue scored a knockdown after Dasmarinas gave a delayed reaction to a liver shot.

Inoue then worked over the body some more, scoring a pair of knockdowns in the third round, the second of which was enough for the fight to be waved off.
