That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Roli Poli.
Well Poli 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.

The fight is ruled a draw!
Roli Poli retains his title. It's always disappointing when a championship fight ends as a draw but that's what happens when you leave the fight in the judges hands!
