Lawrence Tureaud showed his dominance in that final round.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Tureaud, 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 Daniel Franklin scores the fight 30:27
Judge Peter Branson scores the fight 30:27
Judge Bart Greer scores the fight 30:27
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Lawrence Tureaud!
After the fight, Lawrence Tureaud was humble in paying tribute to his opponent but made it clear he wants to go on to bigger and better things. It seemed to go down well with the crowd who cheered him loudly.
