And that's the end of the fight!
That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Clint Lomax.
Well Morris has outworked and out performed his opponent in all aspects of the game today. He was simply too good and the decision should be no more than a formality. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
