Bill throws a combination but comes up with nothing but fresh air.
Crazy Bill has stepped it up - he knows he needs a finish here! Joe Tolken is fighting for a decision - hopefully he's judged it right and he's actually winning the fight. Bill takes a shot right to the bread basket.
And that's the end of the fight! That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Crazy Bill. Well Tolken 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 Reed Andrews scores the fight 28:29 Judge Joseph Jones scores the fight 28:29 Judge Franklyn Lucas scores the fight 27:30
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Joe Tolken!
