That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Vova Klimov.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Klimov, 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 Daniel Blasius scores the fight 30:28
Judge Wagner Zegers scores the fight 30:28
Judge Radbod Blank scores the fight 30:27

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Vova Klimov!
