Feinman throws a 1-2 combo that connects squarely on Sandler's jaw, knocking him onto his back! Feinman dives in looking to finish as Sandler flails his arms in a desperate attempt to block Feinman's strikes! Feinman is raining down hammerfists and the ref stops it! Sandler's desperate flailing just didn't constitute intelligent defence. Some people will probably question the ref's decision but Sandler was definitely hurt and the ref saved him from taking unnecessary punishment. A fighter's safety is paramount in this sport.

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:51 of round 3, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Randy Feinman!
