And that's the end of the fight!
Michael Sullivan showed his dominance in that final round.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Sullivan, winning every round. Will the judges agree? They are the ones who matter, even if they are often depressingly incompetent. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
