Well I reckon that's a shut out for Rich, winning every round. Will the judges agree? They are the ones who matter, even if they are often depressingly incompetent. 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 Bruno Lombardi scores the fight 30:27
Judge Jonathan Paton scores the fight 30:28
Judge Steve Montenegro scores the fight 30:27
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Rich!
