Checka has Zu pressed against the ropes, preventing Zu from circling away and getting back to striking at range.
And that's the end of the fight!
Chin Checka comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
I think Checka has won this one but let's see whether the judges agree with me. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
