Boooooooooooooooooooo!!! God, this has been a terrible round. Come on you two, sort yourselves out!
Piccirilli missing with a left hand there. LaFromboise was out of range so wasted energy throwing that one.
And an attempted straight right on the counter from LaFromboise! But no joy.
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 Corbiniano Piccirilli.
Well Piccirilli 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 Alan Glass scores the fight 30:27
Judge Tiny Johnson scores the fight 30:27
Judge Robert Twigg scores the fight 30:27
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Corbiniano Piccirilli! |
