Hilo cracks the inside of Li's front leg. Li chopped to the floor by a nice leg kick but he springs right back up before Hilo can pounce on him.
And that's the end of the fight! Johnny Hilo showed his dominance in that final round. Well Hilo has outscored his opponent in every aspect of the fight today. Only a scarily incompetent judge or two will keep him from a well deserved win... 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 Andi Peters scores the fight 30:24 Judge Gordon Ramsey scores the fight 30:24 Judge Frank Skinner scores the fight 30:24
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Johnny Hilo!
