and Sitsongrit counters with a left to the body.
And that's the end of the fight!
Petchuanglek Sitsongrit comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Sitsongrit 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.
