The crowd applaud the fighters' efforts here as the round comes to an end.
Darrow keeping a good distance there, avoiding the body shot.
And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Kaine Krause.
Well Darrow 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 Colin Fotheringham scores the fight 29:28
Judge Sam Margolis scores the fight 29:28
Judge James Glass scores the fight 29:28
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Ramsay Darrow!
