Noburu stalling the fight.
Di Moro tries to pull guard but Noburu holds him up against the cage and eventually Di Moro drops back down to his feet.
And that's the end of the fight!
Katsu Noburu showed his dominance in that final round.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Noburu, winning every round. Will the judges agree? They are the ones who matter, even if they are often depressingly incompetent. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
