Both fighters are breathing heavily.#T4# Neither fighter has done anything of merit for a good minute or two here and the crowd are not happy about it. Kacak throwing shots but they're hitting the canvas more than the man. Kacak missing with the ground and pound from half guard. Kacak wants to stand up but Hoover has a hold of him and won't allow it. Kacak passes the guard and advances to mount! Boooooooooooooooooooo!!! God, this has been a terrible round. Come on you two, sort yourselves out! Kacak avoids the attempt from Hoover to control.
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 Rosendo Hoover. I think Hoover has won this one but let's see what the judges have to say. 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 Steve Smith scores the fight 29:28 Judge Gregory Folan scores the fight 29:28 Judge William Peck scores the fight 28:29
In favor of your winner, by split decision... Rosendo Hoover!
