And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Daniel Souza.
I think Souza has won this one but let's see whether the judges agree with me. 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 Stewart Dunkirk scores the fight 28:29
Judge Cecil Peabody scores the fight 29:28
Judge Frank Dennis scores the fight 28:29
In favor of your winner, by split decision... Daniel Souza!
An out of breath Daniel Souza thanked his loyal fans in his post fight interview, giving them credit for his success over the course of his career.
