And that's the end of the fight!
Michal Tarnowski comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Tarnowski 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 Dean Styles scores the fight 27:30
Judge John Kavanagh scores the fight 27:30
Judge Alyssa Summers scores the fight 27:30
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Michal Tarnowski!
A very excited looking Michal Tarnowski made sure he remembered to thank all the fans both in the arena and on the internet. He said all the coolest people spend all day on MMA websites, which got a big reaction.
