I think Zimmerman has won this one but let's see what the judges have to say. 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 William Gold scores the fight 29:28
Judge Colin Fotheringham scores the fight 29:28
Judge Andrew Berry scores the fight 29:28
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Ignacio Zimmerman!
