Levine is looking to work some ground and pound but Kownacki has wrist control.
And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Jan Kownacki.
I've got Kownacki winning every round here. Surely the decision will go his way and he'll pick up a well deserved decision victory. 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 Tarja Halkonen scores the fight 27:30
Judge Ben Zyskovitsi scores the fight 27:30
Judge Anni Minnemäki scores the fight 27:30
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Jan Kownacki!
