When the round starts, Reynolds warily circles Patrick rather than charging him like he did in the first two. He does get Patrick up against the ropes and manage to land some shots, but Patrick responds with a stunning blow and then baits Reynolds into coming for him again while he rope-a-dopes, and soon, Patrick lands a series of haymakers that sends the clearly tiring Reynolds to the mat. The ref is slow to start the count but eventually has no choice, but then when Patrick starts hitting Reynolds hard again, the ref RIDICULOUSLY stops the action so the doctor can take a look at Patrick's now-liberally-bleeding eye. However, when the doctor of course clears Patrick to continue, the ref's hands are tied for the moment, but Stacy Keach urgently warns Patrick that the ref will take any excuse to stop the fight, so Patrick has to knock Reynolds out now. Patrick lets Reynolds throw the first punch so he can get an opening, and when he does, he comes in hard, and within five shots, Reynolds has hit the deck again, and this time he doesn't look at all like getting up.

However, after a couple aborted attempts, Reynolds gets to his feet at the count of eight, and it says something about how dazed he looks that the crooked ref asks him if he's okay to continue and actually seems interested in the answer. Patrick doesn't even bother protecting his face as he comes in, and after he gets Reynolds up against the ropes and lands several more shots with no hint of resistance, he asks the ref if he's going to stop the fight. Rather than let Barry's prize pig get seriously hurt in a lost cause and with him really looking like he's barely conscious, the ref reluctantly calls the fight for Patrick, prompting Team Leary to storm the ring and Ava and Daniella to celebrate, and even Barry to applaud the result. After embracing his family, Patrick holds up his belt in triumph as some dude in a tux literally carries Reynolds out of there in his arms, and all I can say is that's going to be one story to tell the drycleaner. Patrick opines to the press that Reynolds is a warrior, but with the cut, Stacy Keach told him he had to take him out. Stacy Keach also mentioned the crooked ref, but Patrick diplomatically omits that part. Barry and Brennan exchange a knowing? Respectful? Happy? look, and then Barry takes the opportunity to step in and tell everyone how happy he is for Patrick and his family...
