From the opening bell, Farmer set the tone with his sharp jab, lateral movement, and precise counterpunching, looking to control the distance and dictate the tempo. Frenois, a seasoned French contender known for his toughness and work rate, tried to press forward and make the fight physical, but Farmer’s superior footwork and ring craft made it difficult for Frenois to find consistent success. The early rounds saw Farmer landing the cleaner, more telling blows, using his reach and accuracy to keep Frenois at bay and set up combinations to the head and body. Frenois, to his credit, never stopped coming forward and showed his trademark resilience, absorbing punishment and looking for opportunities to counter.
As the fight progressed into the middle rounds, Farmer’s advantages in speed and technical proficiency became more pronounced. He cut off the ring effectively, forcing Frenois to engage in exchanges where Farmer’s cleaner punching could shine. Frenois, a durable opponent with experience at the international level, continued to press the action and landed occasional flurries, but Farmer’s relentless pressure and bodywork began to wear him down. The crowd was treated to a tactical battle, with Farmer’s technical skill contrasting with Frenois’s aggression and determination. The referee, Mark Calo-oy, ensured the contest was conducted fairly, with both men showing mutual respect throughout.
The later rounds saw Farmer continue to dominate, landing the cleaner, more telling blows and forcing Frenois to absorb punishment. Frenois, true to his reputation for heart, never stopped trying to turn the tide, but Farmer’s consistency and accuracy ensured he remained ahead on the scorecards. The final bell sounded with both men still standing, but there was little doubt about the outcome. The judges’ scorecards reflected Farmer’s dominance, with Javier Alvarez and Daniel Sandoval scoring 116-111 and Ellis Johnson 119-108, all in favour of Farmer. With this win, Farmer’s record improved to 30-4-1, and he reaffirmed his status as a leading contender in the super featherweight division. 9
