Swain prevents Nekrasov from getting the reversal.#SUB2#
Swain goes for an armbar but he's not got it… Nekrasov turns into him and now he's in Swain's guard.
Nekrasov is fighting to break Swain's control of his arms but Swain is doing a good job of controlling the position at the moment.
And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Alex Swain.
Well Swain 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 Frank Antenori scores the fight for Alex Swain!
Judge Jack Bonds scores the fight for Alex Swain!
Judge Timothy Bukovac scores the fight for Alex Swain!
Alex Swain wins by unanimous decision!
