Like a baseball bat into the meat of his leg there - nice leg kick by Spector.
Spector avoids a punch combination nicely.
McGuire throws a low kick but Spector moves out of range easily.
And that's the end of the fight!
That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Marc Spector.
I think Spector has won this one but let's see what the judges have to say. 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 Colin Fotheringham scores the fight 29:28
Judge Paul Tew scores the fight 29:29
Judge James Glass scores the fight 29:28
In favor of your winner, by majority decision... Marc Spector!
A relieved looking Marc Spector thanked the fans for their support and gave the usual line about them being amazing. They seemed to believe that he actually meant it.
