Hammer shoots in for a takedown. "Ole!" shouts Jucci as he jumps to the side.
And that's the end of the fight!
Hunks Jucci comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
I think Hammer has won this one but let's see what the judges have to say. 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 Matti Vanhoillinen scores the fight 29:28
Judge Johanna Lukiainen scores the fight 29:28
Judge Roosa Järviläinen scores the fight 29:28
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Smith Hammer!
