And that's the end of the fight! Nicola Bruni showed his dominance in that final round. Well Bruni 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 Sandra Marshall scores the fight for Nicola Bruni! Judge Winston Alpacca scores the fight for Nicola Bruni! Judge Santiago Holmes scores the fight for Nicola Bruni!
Nicola Bruni wins by unanimous decision! Nicola Bruni is the new light heavyweight champion! Nicola Bruni decided to go for the less than humble approach in his post fight interview, telling everyone how he is going to conquer the world. The crowd seemed to like it when really that sort of approach could have gone either way. Mike Green was interviewed post fight and said 'I slipped that ain't shit I'm eating steak shrimp and lobster that bum going home to eat Roman Noodle pasta.'.
