And that's the end of the fight!
Mason Oakley showed his dominance in that final round.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Oakley, winning every round. Will the judges agree? They are the ones who matter, even if they are often depressingly incompetent. 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 Jack Bonds scores the fight 30:26
Judge Frank Antenori scores the fight 30:26
Judge Percy O'Donnell scores the fight 30:26
