Baker tries a body shot but Benson blocks it.
And that's the end of the fight!
James Benson comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Benson 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.
