Thomas Hawk showed his dominance in that final round.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Hawk, 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 Marco Blurström scores the fight 30:27
Judge Anni Minnemäki scores the fight 30:27
Judge Roosa Järviläinen scores the fight 30:27
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Thomas Hawk!
Jumping up and down and very excited, Thomas Hawk waved his t-shirt featuring Sun-Tzu's logo in front of the cameras.
