And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to John Eugemia.
Well Ho 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.

Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Daniel Cesar scores the fight 29:28
Judge Leandro Rodrigues scores the fight 29:28
Judge Paulo Santos scores the fight 29:28

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Li Kong Ho!

A loyal slave to those sponsorship dollars, Li Kong Ho made sure he mentioned Spartan Nutrition , along with how happy he was to win his fight.
