Nice body kick from Man.
Carey Morris has stepped it up - he knows he needs a finish here!
Tall Man is fighting for a decision - hopefully he's judged it right and he's actually winning the fight.#CL2#
Man has closed the distance and engaged Morris in a clinch.
And that's the end of the fight!
Tall Man comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Man 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 Sosuke Kotani scores the fight 27:30
Judge Ren Mimura scores the fight 27:30
Judge Taro Takaoka scores the fight 27:30
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Tall Man!
