And that's the end of the fight!
Will Kennedy comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
I've got Kennedy 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.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Nard Betker scores the fight 27:30
Judge Aafke Stam scores the fight 27:30
Judge Saam Ante scores the fight 27:30
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Will Kennedy!
