Saades throws a body kick but he wasn't in range.
Penduko is still on wobbly legs! Can Saades finish him?
Saades lands with a big left! Penduko is wobbled badly! Saades comes in with a flurry of punches and drops Penduko to the floor. The ref jumps in to save him from unneccessary punishment.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:36 of round 3, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punches). Octavio Saades!
