That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Dirk Diggler.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Diggler, winning every round. Will the judges agree? They are the ones who matter, even if they are often depressingly incompetent. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Dirk Diggler!
