And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Rob Zombie.
I think Zombie has won this one but let's see whether the judges agree with me. 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 Eliza Hachem scores the fight for Bishop Brig!
Judge Ron Honeybunn scores the fight for Bishop Brig!
Judge Topper Green scores the fight for Bishop Brig!
Bishop Brig wins by unanimous decision!
