And that's the end of the fight!
Mike Swift comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
I have no idea who won that fight. Let's wait and see whether the judges are as confused as me! Time for a split decision perhaps?!. 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 Reed Andrews scores the fight 28:29
Judge Dean Styles scores the fight 28:29
Judge Russell Pearce scores the fight 29:28
In favor of your winner, by split decision... Mike Swift !
Mike Swift thanked the fans post fight for their support.
