And that's the end of the fight!
That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Leif Blankenship.
Well Blankenship has outscored his opponent in every aspect of the fight today. Only a scarily incompetent judge or two will keep him from a well deserved win... 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 Paulsen Ambrosius scores the fight 29:28
Judge Saam Ante scores the fight 29:28
Judge Radbod Blank scores the fight 30:27
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Leif Blankenship!
