Sanchez started the first round in his usual manner, by boxing and using movement. In the second, Sanchez was getting more active with his punches. Hammer was coming forward and applying pressure on Sanchez, who was countering and working a jab. In the third, Hammer was starting to take more hard punches and seemed to get staggered from a few hard hooks to the body.

In the fourth and fifth, Sanchez was outboxing and outlanding the game Hammer, who continued to come forward and throw. It was more of the same in sixth and seventh. Sanchez was landing, but not putting together a lot of punches. There wasn't much of a change in the eighth, ninth and tenth, with Sanchez taking few chances and easily outboxing Hammer. A knockdown was called on Hammer in the last 15 seconds of the fight, but the replay showed it was push.
