And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to JJ Steel.
I've got Steel 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 Trevor Gratis scores the fight for JJ Steel!
Judge William Peck scores the fight for JJ Steel!
Judge Alec Ball scores the fight for JJ Steel!
JJ Steel wins by unanimous decision!
