Gomer throws a right and a left that Braddock avoids nicely.
Braddock fails with an attempt to clinch.
And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Vince Gomer.
I think Gomer has won this one but let's see whether the judges agree with me. 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 Matheus Silva scores the fight 30:29
Judge Edson Gomes scores the fight 28:29
Judge Leandro Rodrigues scores the fight 30:28
In favor of your winner, by split decision... Victor Braddock! |
