Thaksin Yodsuwan showed his dominance in that final round.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Yodsuwan, 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 Tatsuya Matsuyama scores the fight 30:27
Judge Hirohito Nitta scores the fight 30:27
Judge Yukihiro Yamamoto scores the fight 30:27
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Thaksin Yodsuwan!
