Well I reckon that's a shut out for Van Elburg, 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 Micheangelo Fripello scores the fight 30:27
Judge Roger Salmon scores the fight 30:27
Judge Colin Fray scores the fight 30:27

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Vincent Van Elburg!
Vincent Van Elburg really struggled to get his t-shirt on before his hand was raised. Making sure that Wrestler Wayfare logo gets some air time is pretty tricky when you're all sweaty.
