and James counters with a nice body shot.
Noel James has stepped it up - he knows he needs a finish here!
The fight stays on the outside here - Fhtagn looks like he's thinking about clinching though.
Good standup being displayed there by James as he connects with a hook.
And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Noel James.
I think Fhtagn 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 Donald Grub scores the fight 29:28
Judge Paul Tew scores the fight 29:28
Judge Richard Clark scores the fight 29:28
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Cthulhu Fhtagn!
