Santry staggered McGovern early in round 2, but McGovern came back and hurt Santry with a right uppercut and followed it up with a big right cross. At the end of round 2, Santry was in big trouble. In round 3, Santry tried to stay away from McGovern, but eventually McGovern got to him and floored Santry with a left hook. Santry couldn’t beat the count.

McGovern won by a TKO in round 5.
