And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Taylor Reade.
Well Reade has outworked and out performed his opponent in all aspects of the game today. He was simply too good and the decision should be no more than a formality. 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 Shigeki Sano scores the fight for Taylor Reade!
Judge Kenichi Hosakawa scores the fight for Taylor Reade!
Judge Yukihiro Shimada scores the fight for Taylor Reade!
Taylor Reade wins by unanimous decision!
Taylor Reade seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website.
