Garuda Kaji showed his dominance in that final round.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Kaji, 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 Viktor Lagutenko scores the fight 30:27
Judge Ivan Kurochkin scores the fight 29:28
Judge Fedor Mirinova scores the fight 30:27

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Garuda Kaji!
In his post fight interview, Garuda Kaji started talking himself up. Luckily his charisma kept the crowd on side and gave him a good reception.
