That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Johnny Redman.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Redman, 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 Timothy Bukovac scores the fight 30:27
Judge Percy O'Donnell scores the fight 30:27

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Larry Riley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andre Alston (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Alston's choice of entrance music: Where Da Bud At. Andre Alston struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.8lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Both fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
