That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Rick Piano .
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Piano , 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.

A very excited looking Rick Piano rambled incoherently for about 5 minutes post fight about how awesome he is. It was kinda funny for a while but then everyone got annoyed.
