Monster looks to land a combination. Meridius sees it coming but can only parry a couple of the shots.
Monster comes forward and lands a shot to the body, then darts back out of range.
And that's the end of the fight!
Cookie Monster showed his dominance in that final round.
Well Monster 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 Marco Blurström scores the fight 29:28
Judge Arvi Lind scores the fight 29:28
Judge Tarja Halkonen scores the fight 30:28
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Cookie Monster!
An out of breath and clearly excited Cookie Monster thanked Perkele! for their help and support (and free stuff they sent him).
