The preliminary heavyweight bout showcased a stark contrast between Pat’s precise, heavy striking and Frye’s defensive, clinch-heavy strategy.
- Round 1: Pat established his rhythm early with sharp lateral movement, slipping past Frye’s punches to fire back with short, crisp combinations. Frye tried to slow down the action by pinning Pat against the cage but failed to output any meaningful offense. Right before the horn, Pat punctuated the round by landing a heavy punch that visibly snapped Frye’s head back.
- Round 2: Pat began the second frame with an aggressive striking flurry, instantly backing Frye up. While Frye displayed a durable chin and took major punishment in nearly every striking trade, his only response was pushing Pat to the fence. This “wall and stall” tactic offered Frye defensive safety but generated no offensive damage, and Pat continually broke free to land cleaner strikes at range.
- Round 3: Hunting a finish, Pat weaponized sharp elbows that sliced Frye open and left him badly bloodied. Though Pat grew visibly fatigued from maintaining a high output, Frye lacked the endurance and offensive tools to capitalize. Frye spent the closing minutes looking for brief breaks in the clinch, allowing Pat to cruise to the final bell.
