And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Tero Elo.
I've got Elo winning every round here. Surely the decision will go his way and he'll pick up a well deserved decision victory. 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 Ben Zyskovitsi scores the fight 27:30
Judge Johanna Lukiainen scores the fight 27:30

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Tero Elo!
An intense looking Tero Elo took to the microphone post fight and gave a little speech: 'Let the big, bad, black motherfucker go!'.
