Final minute: Extremely high pace. Both fighters are driven into corners and exchange repeatedly. Li appears close to finishing at times (spin/elbow attempts mentioned but not clearly clean).
Last seconds: Johnston and Li keep pressing; the crowd is described as lifting as the result becomes unclear.
End of fight: Called an “end of a sensational fight” with judges required to decide. Broadcast notes it was a close decision, with one round each heading into Round 3, which becomes a volume/aggression battle.
