That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Ispa Mfer.
Well Mfer 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 30:27
Judge Alyssa Summers scores the fight 30:27
Judge John Kavanagh scores the fight 30:27
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Ispa Mfer!
Ispa Mfer very nearly forgot to thank Bondi MMA ðŸï¸ amongst all the excitement of his win but just as the interview came to a close, he screamed their name. Hopefully he'll get a few nice freebies in the mail as a thank you.
