And that's the end of the fight!
Carlos Calabara comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Calabara has outworked and out performed his opponent in all aspects of the game today. He was simply too good and the decision should be no more than a formality. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1 round of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Donald Grub scores the fight 9:10
Judge Phil Schofield scores the fight 9:10
Judge James Atkins scores the fight 9:10
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Carlos Calabara!
