Suti missing with a left hand there. Alaniz was out of range so wasted energy throwing that one. Charlie Alaniz is looking to throw some combinations by the looks of things. Wooooo! Give it up for these two warriors! They are putting on a show! The crowd applaud the fighters efforts here as the round comes to an end. Alaniz defending well as Suti loads up on a big left hand. Suti throws an overhand right that lands on Alaniz's shoulder, as Alaniz tries to avoid the shot. Suti has been the more effective fighter overall so far. Suti throws a looping overhand right but Alaniz ducks down to avoid it. A left lands for Suti.
And that's the end of the fight! Perseen Suti comfortably won the final round on my scorecard. I've got Suti 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 Paulsen Ambrosius scores the fight 27:30 Judge Daniel Blasius scores the fight 27:30 Judge Albert Achterberg scores the fight 27:30
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Perseen Suti! As Perseen Suti got his breath back, he grabbed the microphone and managed to blurt out the following: You all suck!'.
