And that's the end of the fight!
Bill Como comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Como 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 Paulo Santos scores the fight 26:30
Judge Emerson Jorge scores the fight 27:30
Judge Thiago Cunha scores the fight 26:30
