Both fighters are breathing heavily.
Pennington throws an ugly left hook that misses
and Yardow connects with a straight left hand counter down the middle.
And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Zane Yardow.
Well Yardow 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.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Elvis Blanc scores the fight 27:30
Judge Ian Loll scores the fight 27:30
Judge William Peck scores the fight 27:30
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Zane Yardow!
