The crowd cheering loudly, showing their appreciation for the quality fight we're seeing here.
Nice strikes from Shi there.
And that's the end of the fight!
Bakabaka Shi showed his dominance in that final round.
Well Shi 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.
