Max Onera comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
I think Buckeye has won this one but let's see what the judges have to say. 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 Chad Campbell scores the fight 29:28
Judge Lou da Vinci scores the fight 29:28
Judge Anthony Taglia scores the fight 29:28

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Jab Buckeye!
A less than humble Jab Buckeye misjudged his post fight interview somewhat and came across a little too arrogant whilst trying to hype up his own abilities.
The defeated Max Onera had this to say: 'I'm getting back in the gym and getting ready for the next fight. '.
