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 Ziggy Stardust.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Stardust, 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 Daniel Franklin scores the fight 30:27
Judge Cecil Peabody scores the fight 28:29
Judge Frank Dennis scores the fight 30:27
In favor of your winner, by split decision... Ziggy Stardust!
An out of breath and clearly excited Ziggy Stardust thanked Brooklyn Apothecary for their help and support (and free stuff they sent him).
