Boooooooooooooooooooo!!! God, this has been a terrible round. Come on you two, sort yourselves out!
Walsh is trying to break free.
Walsh has dropped down and is looking to force the takedown but it's defended by Foy after a bit of a struggle.
And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Dom Walsh.
I think Foy has won this one but let's see what the judges have to say. 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 Steve Montenegro scores the fight 29:28
Judge David Schapiro scores the fight 29:28
Judge Joseph Jones scores the fight 29:28
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Reece Foy!
