And that's the end of the fight!
That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Seppo Maki.
Well Maki 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 Eddie Farnsworth scores the fight 30:28
Judge Steve Montenegro scores the fight 30:27
Judge Columbo Gatti scores the fight 30:27
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Seppo Maki!
Our winner, Seppo Maki, made sure he spent some time buttering up the crowd during his post fight interview, which will no doubt bring him a few more fans.
