I would just about give that final round to Mark Hunt.
Well Rovaniesti has outscored his opponent in every aspect of the fight today. Only a scarily incompetent judge or two will keep him from a well deserved win... 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 Arvi Lind scores the fight for Kari Rovaniesti!
Judge Ben Zyskovitsi scores the fight for Kari Rovaniesti!
Judge Tarja Halkonen scores the fight for Kari Rovaniesti!
Kari Rovaniesti wins by unanimous decision!
