Puska fakes with an overhand right and moves in to clinch with Salamirinta, pushing him back against the cage.
Salamirinta misses with some punches.
And that's the end of the fight!
Yrjo Puska comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
I've got Puska winning every round here. Surely the decision will go his way and he'll pick up a well deserved decision victory. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
