Bailey tries to bench press Lykke off him but Lykke keeps the position.
And that's the end of the fight!
Vikrama Lykke comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Lykke 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 Chris Downing scores the fight 27:30
Judge Frank Dennis scores the fight 27:30
Judge Wesley Smith scores the fight 27:30
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Vikrama Lykke!
