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 Timothy Bukovac scores the fight 28:29 Judge Jack Bonds scores the fight 28:29 Judge Don Winkell scores the fight 30:29
In favor of your winner, by split decision... Ronaldo Gonya! Ronaldo Gonya spent the whole post fight interview bigging himself up. It didn't go down that well with the fans after a while as they thought it was a bit arrogant. |
