That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Aaron Blood.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Blood, winning every round. Will the judges agree? They are the ones who matter, even if they are often depressingly incompetent. 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 Matti Vanhoillinen scores the fight 29:28
Judge Johanna Lukiainen scores the fight 29:28
Judge Ben Zyskovitsi scores the fight 30:27

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Aaron Blood!
Post fight, an emotional Aaron Blood said 'Easy knockout. I expected a bigger challenge than what was showcased. It not my fault the dumb ass came on a late flight unprepared! Anyway, this will be my last fight at infinity. I enjoyed my time but I'm ready to go back to batum weight division.'.
