I would just about give that final round to Jason Maher.
Well Maher 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.

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Jason Maher!
