Judge Felipe Paraventi scores the fight 29:28
Judge Emerson Jorge scores the fight 29:29
Judge Leandro Rodrigues scores the fight 29:28

In favor of your winner, by majority decision... Tommy Gavin!

A less than humble Tommy Gavin misjudged his post fight interview somewhat and came across a little too arrogant whilst trying to hype up his own abilities.
