Ossini with a couple of short strikes.
Moonbow swinging wildly from the bottom but he's not landing.
And that's the end of the fight!
Yakai Ossini showed his dominance in that final round.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Ossini, 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.
