And that's the end of the fight!
That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Trouble Some.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Some, 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 Sam Margolis scores the fight 30:27
Judge William Gold scores the fight 30:27
Judge James Ackerman scores the fight 30:27
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Trouble Some!
Trouble Some very nearly forgot to thank Perkele! amongst all the excitement of his win but just as the interview came to a close, he screamed their name. Hopefully he'll get a few nice freebies in the mail as a thank you.
