With 14 seconds remaining in the first, Peters had Mouzinho reeling across the ring and falling forward to the canvas. Mouzinho beat the count and got a minute to recover between rounds, coming out for the second much as he had for the first. Again, Peters was having the best of the exchanges. Two left hooks and a right hand sent Mouzinho down hard. Mouzinho rose on unsteady legs, and the ref called off the match.
