Leopoldo Rich has stepped it up - he knows he needs a finish here!
Bobbie Hamilton is fighting for a decision - hopefully he's judged it right and he's actually winning the fight.#SUB#
Rich is trying to land an Americana. He has the arm isolated but Hamilton is keeping cool and he's avoided the danger for now.
And that's the end of the fight!
Leopoldo Rich showed his dominance in that final round.
I think Hamilton has won this one but let's see whether the judges agree with me. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
