A really sloppy takedown attempt there from Ness.
Ness chopping away at his opponent's legs.
And that's the end of the fight!
Van Ness showed his dominance in that final round.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Ness, 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 Chris Edwards scores the fight 30:27
Judge James Ackerman scores the fight 30:27
Judge Andrew Berry scores the fight 30:27
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Van Ness!
