A nice inside leg kick there by Albert. That's going to slow Carter down.
Albert tries to bum rush Carter with a series of wild strikes but Carter uses good footwork to avoid the assault.
Frankie Albert has stepped it up - he knows he needs a finish here!
Carter swings wildly with a couple of big hooks
and Albert counters with a good right hand that lands right on the jaw.
And that's the end of the fight!
Mike Carter comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Carter has outworked and out performed his opponent in all aspects of the game today. He was simply too good and the decision should be no more than a formality. 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 Johanna Lukiainen scores the fight 27:30

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Mike Carter!
