And that's the end of the fight!
That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Gotosleep Innkeeper.
I think Killov has won this one but let's see whether the judges agree with me. 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 Steven Brown scores the fight 29:28
Judge James Ackerman scores the fight 27:30
Judge Chris Edwards scores the fight 28:29
In favor of your winner, by split decision... Serg Killov! |
