That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Amadi Yousuf.
I think Jones 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 Tarja Halkonen scores the fight 28:29
Judge Arvi Lind scores the fight 28:29
Judge Roosa Järviläinen scores the fight 28:29

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Muthafucka Jones!
Our winner, Muthafucka Jones, made sure he spent some time buttering up the crowd during his post fight interview, which will no doubt bring him a few more fans.
