Judge Percy O'Donnell scores the fight 30:27
Judge Timothy Bukovac scores the fight 29:28
Judge Jack Bonds scores the fight 30:27

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Ray Ruthlessness!

A less than humble Ray Ruthlessness misjudged his post fight interview somewhat and came across a little too arrogant whilst trying to hype up his own abilities.
