That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Aiden Preston.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Preston, winning every round. Will the judges agree? They are the ones who matter, even if they are often depressingly incompetent. 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 Roger Salmon scores the fight 30:28
Judge Chris Saunders scores the fight 29:28
Judge Colin Fray scores the fight 30:28
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Aiden Preston!
An out of breath Aiden Preston thanked his loyal fans in his post fight interview, giving them credit for his success over the course of his career.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Lil Wayne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Piotr Bukowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wayne comes into the arena with My Life blaring out of the sound system. Bukowski comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Donatan, Gural, Sheller, Kaczor, Ry23, Rafi - Słowiańska krew kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
