The crowd was waiting for the announcer to speak already, even though this wasn't the UFA, during the fight they had become attached to the fighters.
The announcer stepped forward, his voice cutting through the loud noise of the crowd. "Ladies and gentlemen," he began,
"we have reached the moment you've all been waiting for. This is the official decision for the match between Damon Cross and Edward Whittaker."
The audience went silent, following his every word making sure they didn't even miss one word.
The announcer held up the scorecards, his face serious as he looked at the results.
"After three intense rounds of action," he continued, "we have the official scorecards. The judges have rendered their decision based on the performance of both fighters throughout the match."
He paused for a moment, letting the tension build up, any announcer knew how to utilize their words and timing.
