Liquid Gold comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
I've got Gold winning every round here. Surely the decision will go his way and he'll pick up a well deserved decision victory. 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 Sam Margolis scores the fight 27:30
Judge Phil Schofield scores the fight 27:30
Judge Daniel Bishop scores the fight 27:30

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Liquid Gold!

A relieved looking Liquid Gold thanked the fans for their support and gave the usual line about them being amazing. They seemed to believe that he actually meant it.
