Judge George Francis scores the fight for Kendrick Lomare!
Kendrick Lomare wins by unanimous decision!
Kendrick Lomare decided to go for the less than humble approach in his post fight interview, telling everyone how he is going to conquer the world. The crowd seemed to like it when really that sort of approach could have gone either way. |
