Willy Brandon has stepped it up - he knows he needs a finish here!
And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Aulis Homelius.
I've got Homelius winning every round here. Surely the decision will go his way and he'll pick up a well deserved decision victory. 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 Chris Dean scores the fight 27:30
Judge Donatello Bradman scores the fight 27:30
Judge Winston Howard scores the fight 27:30
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Aulis Homelius!
