We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up.
Mircea finds himself stumbling back on wobbly legs after being clipped by a right hand. He's up against the cage, ducking and weaving under Raper's strikes but an uppercut finds it's way through and Mircea falls! - He's completely out of it and the ref jumps in to save him!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:55 of round 3, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Biff Raper!
A relieved looking Biff Raper thanked the fans for their support and gave the usual line about them being amazing. They seemed to believe that he actually meant it.
