His transformation has not come without criticism, with many fans questioning why he would erase the detailed designs he once proudly displayed. Chalmers, however, has always defended his choice.

Jack Fincham falls short to the dominant Chalmers display

After the fight started, the 33-year-old began turning up the pressure, landing a well-timed right hook that briefly shifted momentum in his favor. But just as he looked to be settling into the fight, Chalmers answered back emphatically. A perfectly placed right hand sent Fincham staggering, forcing him to a knee.

Statistically, Aaron Chalmers was the much busier and more accurate fighter—throwing 45 punches and landing 22, compared to Fincham’s 31 thrown with 16 connects. Ultimately, Fincham’s corner waved it off in the second round, handing Chalmers the victory via stoppage, adding another green notch to his record.

Regardless, the tattoos on Chalmers’ body may not have helped him win tonight’s fight, but it has definitely helped him stand out from the crowd. What do you think about them? What did you think about the fight?
