And that's the end of the fight!
Jamie Yager comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
I think Boxer 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 Jack Bonds scores the fight for Ronnie Boxer!
Judge Don Winkell scores the fight for Ronnie Boxer!
Judge Frank Antenori scores the fight for Ronnie Boxer!
Ronnie Boxer wins by unanimous decision!
A relieved looking Ronnie Boxer thanked the fans for their support and gave the usual line about them being amazing. They seemed to believe that he actually meant it.
