And that's the end of the fight!
Mason Oneal showed his dominance in that final round.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Oneal, 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 Daniel Bishop scores the fight 30:26
Judge Phil Schofield scores the fight 30:26
Judge Donald Grub scores the fight 30:26
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Mason Oneal!
Mason Oneal very nearly forgot to thank Bloodbath MMA Clothing amongst all the excitement of his win but just as the interview came to a close, he screamed their name. Hopefully he'll get a few nice freebies in the mail as a thank you. |
