Well Dillon 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 James Ackerman scores the fight for Roger Dillon!
Judge James Atkins scores the fight for Roger Dillon!
Judge Donald Grub scores the fight for Roger Dillon!
