Boooooooooooooooooooo!!! God, this has been a terrible round. Come on you two, sort yourselves out!
Vines is working the ground and pound from guard. He might want to try advancing position though to get more of an impact.
And that's the end of the fight!
Supple Vines showed his dominance in that final round.
I think Vines has won this one but let's see what the judges have to say. 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 Sandra Marshall scores the fight 29:29
