And that’s the end of the round – the fighters go back to their corners.
Carl Johan showed his class in that round. I'd imagine he'll take it on all the scorecards.
The cut man is working on Mbawa Untempko's cut.
The fighters' corners scream their final instructions, as the referee calls time. Here we go, back to the action! This is the final round!
#R3#
Johan takes a swing at Untempko's ribcage but misses.
Johan weaves into range and cracks Untempko right on the temple with a beautiful overhand right! Untempko goes down! He's out cold! Wow, what a beautiful knockout! Johan is strutting round the canvas like a movie star as the camera bulbs flash frantically.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:11 of round 3, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Carl Johan!
