Avitan blocks a punch to the side of the head.
And that's the end of the fight!
Yossi Avitan comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Avitan has outworked and out performed his opponent in all aspects of the game today. He was simply too good and the decision should be no more than a formality. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Stewart Dunkirk scores the fight 25:30
Judge Robert Twigg scores the fight 25:30
Judge Frank Dennis scores the fight 25:30
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Yossi Avitan!
