And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Junior Kilat.
I think Kilat has won this one but let's see whether the judges agree with me. 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 Roosa Järviläinen scores the fight 28:29
Judge Tarja Halkonen scores the fight 28:29
Judge Matti Vanhoillinen scores the fight 29:28
In favor of your winner, by split decision... Junior Kilat!
After winning the bout, Junior Kilat thanked all his fans and promised he'd do even better in his next fight. The crowd seemed to love his humility.
