Well Muchada 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 Hirohito Nitta scores the fight for Horato Muchada!

Judge Yukihiro Shimada scores the fight for Horato Muchada!

Horato Muchada wins by unanimous decision!
Horato Muchada very nearly forgot to thank [CBK] The Smashwear Corporation amongst all the excitement of his win but just as the interview came to a close, he screamed their name. Hopefully he'll get a few nice freebies in the mail as a thank you.
