Jackson Mehoff showed his dominance in that final round.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Mehoff, 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 Shigeki Sano scores the fight 30:27
Judge Yukihiro Yamamoto scores the fight 30:27
Judge Sosuke Kotani scores the fight 30:27
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Jackson Mehoff!
The defeated Boston Mathis had this to say: 'I'll be back.'. |
