And that's the end of the fight!
That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Ty Kuno.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Kuno, winning every round. Will the judges agree? They are the ones who matter, even if they are often depressingly incompetent. 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 30:27
Judge Gordon Ramsey scores the fight 30:27
Judge Frank Skinner scores the fight 30:27
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Ty Kuno!
During a confident post fight interview, Ty Kuno thanked all his fans. He seemed very genuine when describing how motivated his fans keep him.
