The referee has decided to stand the fighters back up, so we'll restart on the feet.
And that's the end of the fight!
Ace Gunn showed his dominance in that final round.
Well Gunn has outscored his opponent in every aspect of the fight today. Only a scarily incompetent judge or two will keep him from a well deserved win... Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.

Judge Wesley Smith scores the fight 29:28
Judge George Francis scores the fight 29:28
Judge Frank Dennis scores the fight 29:28
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Ace Gunn! |
