That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Faoa Sunia.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Sunia, 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 Luis Engracia scores the fight for Faoa Sunia!
Judge Thiago Cunha scores the fight for Faoa Sunia!
