Johansson moves out of range of the body kick from Hands.
Johansson lets it all go there with a big combo counter but none of the punches connected.
And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Sven Johansson.
Well Johansson 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 Robert Douchet scores the fight 30:27
Judge Alec Ball scores the fight 28:29
Judge Gregory Folan scores the fight 30:29
In favor of your winner, by split decision... Happy Hands!
