That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Maximus Decimus Meridius.
I think Heikkinen has won this one but let's see whether the judges agree with me. 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 Stewart Dunkirk scores the fight 27:30
Judge Gwen Towbar scores the fight 28:29
Judge Frank Dennis scores the fight 28:29
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Kaino Heikkinen!
A less than humble Kaino Heikkinen misjudged his post fight interview somewhat and came across a little too arrogant whilst trying to hype up his own abilities.
