And that's the end of the fight!
Tuju Kilju showed his dominance in that final round.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Kilju, winning every round. Will the judges agree? They are the ones who matter, even if they are often depressingly incompetent. 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 Robert Twigg scores the fight 30:27
Judge Cecil Peabody scores the fight 29:28
Judge Tiny Johnson scores the fight 30:27
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Tuju Kilju!
Tuju Kilju bigged himself up after the win. The crowd seemed to love it.
The defeated Jorge Washengtoneo Bandairrezz had this to say: 'To much a chicken choking before da fight.. Time to figure out what to do! Shit man!'.
