And that's the end of the fight!
Jason Koontz comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Fallon 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.

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Archie Fallon!
A relieved looking Archie Fallon thanked the fans for their support and gave the usual line about them being amazing. They seemed to believe that he actually meant it.
