And that's the end of the fight!
Lars Voller comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
I think Voller has won this one but let's see whether the judges agree with me. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.

After winning the bout, Lars Voller thanked all his fans and promised he'd do even better in his next fight. The crowd seemed to love his humility.
