Hurt blocking the ground and pound attempt from Castillo.
And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Canelo Castillo.
I've got Castillo 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.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Josh West scores the fight 27:30
Judge Chris Saunders scores the fight 27:30
Judge Jeff Smith scores the fight 27:30
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Canelo Castillo!
