Well Kvirkvelia 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 Igor Prikhodko scores the fight 26:30
Judge Aleksandr Martynov scores the fight 25:30
Judge Aleksei Zolotukhin scores the fight 26:30

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Levan Kvirkvelia!
Levan Kvirkvelia decided to thank the fans in attendance for making a great atmosphere. It seemed to go down pretty well.
