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 Derrick Santana.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Santana, 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.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge William Peck scores the fight 28:29
Judge Steve Smith scores the fight 30:27
Judge Trevor Gratis scores the fight 30:27
In favor of your winner, by split decision... Derrick Santana!
