Van Rijn lands a nice looking hook to the body, against the cage.
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 Corallus Hortulanus.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Hortulanus, winning every round. Will the judges agree? They are the ones who matter, even if they are often depressingly incompetent. 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 Summer Carpenter scores the fight 30:27
Judge Bruno Hogan scores the fight 30:27
Judge Winston Howard scores the fight 30:27
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Corallus Hortulanus!
