Dean sitting in guard, not really doing much. #SUB#
Gilliam is looking for a guillotine. You can't force these things though and Dean defends well.
And that's the end of the fight!
Gerald Dean comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Dean 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 Tarja Halkonen scores the fight 27:30
Judge Ben Zyskovitsi scores the fight 27:30
Judge Johanna Lukiainen scores the fight 27:30
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Gerald Dean!
