Endleman Schubert comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Boner has outscored his opponent in every aspect of the fight today. Only a scarily incompetent judge or two will keep him from a well deserved win... 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 Santiago Holmes scores the fight 29:28
Judge David Hoff scores the fight 29:28
Judge Daniel Franklin scores the fight 29:28
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Inappropriate Boner!
A relieved looking Inappropriate Boner thanked the fans for their support and gave the usual line about them being amazing. They seemed to believe that he actually meant it.
