And that's the end of the fight!
Eric the hammer comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
I think the hammer has won this one but let's see whether the judges agree with me. 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 Donald Grub scores the fight 28:29
Judge William Gold scores the fight 27:30
Judge Richard Clark scores the fight 28:29
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Eric the hammer!
