And that's the end of the fight!
Tyrone Mack showed his dominance in that final round.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Mack, 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 Arvi Lind scores the fight 30:26
Judge Roosa Järviläinen scores the fight 30:26
Judge Tarja Halkonen scores the fight 30:26
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Tyrone Mack!
A relieved looking Tyrone Mack thanked the fans for their support and gave the usual line about them being amazing. They seemed to believe that he actually meant it.
