Blix wants to counter with a clinch but Berishvili pushes him away.
And that's the end of the fight!
Patrik Blix comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
I've got Blix winning every round here. Surely the decision will go his way and he'll pick up a well deserved decision victory. 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 Reed Andrews scores the fight 26:30

Judge Eddie Farnsworth scores the fight 26:30
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Patrik Blix!
