Judge Taro Takaoka scores the fight 48:47

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Kevin Love!
A less than humble Kevin Love misjudged his post fight interview somewhat and came across a little too arrogant whilst trying to hype up his own abilities.
Apollo Anderson was interviewed post fight and said 'Um what can I say it is what it is congratulations to him, he was better tonight. But one things for sure ill be back.'.
