That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Ernest Howard.
I think Miller 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 John Kavanagh scores the fight 29:29
Judge Joseph Jones scores the fight 28:29
Judge Bruno Lombardi scores the fight 28:29
In favor of your winner, by majority decision... Landon Miller!
Landon Miller seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website.
