Well I reckon that's a shut out for Thornton, 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.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Daniel Bishop scores the fight 30:27
Judge Donald Grub scores the fight 30:27
Judge James Ackerman scores the fight 30:27
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Terrence Thornton!
After winning the bout, Terrence Thornton thanked all his fans and promised he'd do even better in his next fight. The crowd seemed to love his humility.
