Jeez, Justin Textmark's cut is really nasty now. The referee must be thinking about getting that checked.
The referee calls the doctor in to look at Justin Textmark's cut. Oh no, the doctor has called an end to the bout!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:57 of round 3, we have a winner by way of TKO (Cut). Odin Fredriksson!
Odin Fredriksson took to the microphone after his victory and thanked his sponsors, Perkele! for their support in the buildup to the fight.
