And that's the end of the fight!
Thurston gimme some comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
I think Mulkku has won this one but let's see what the judges have to say. 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 Ben Zyskovitsi scores the fight 29:28
Judge Anni Minnemäki scores the fight 29:28
Judge Arvi Lind scores the fight 29:28
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Aikamoinen Mulkku!
Aikamoinen Mulkku is the new super heavyweight champion!
