An inside leg kick from Glorenzo misses. Koiranputki takes a shot right to the bread basket. Koiranputki pushing out the jab but it's not landing. Glorenzo misses with a low kick. Excellent takedown into side control there by Glorenzo.
That's four minutes gone in the round. Koiranputki managing to avoid any damage from the strikes thrown by Glorenzo.
Glorenzo is staying tight to Koiranputki's torso, preventing him from escaping. Wooooo! Give it up for these two warriors! They are putting on a show! Let's hope that Glorenzo has the urge to step up the pace any second now because for the last 15 or 20 seconds he's just been holding on tight. As the round comes to an end the crowd are showing their appreciation for a great round of action. Glorenzo wants to lay and pray for a moment but Koiranputki keeps working.
And that's the end of the fight! Joselito Glorenzo comfortably won the final round on my scorecard. I've got Glorenzo winning every round here. Surely the decision will go his way and he'll pick up a well deserved decision victory. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
