And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Nigel Benn Jr.
I've got Benn Jr winning every round here. Surely the decision will go his way and he'll pick up a well deserved decision victory. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.

Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Nigel Benn Jr!
