Macey wants to slow Bradley down by chopping away at his legs.
And that's the end of the fight!
That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Frank Macey.
I think Macey 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 5 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Saam Ante scores the fight 48:47
Judge Radbod Blank scores the fight 48:47
Judge Albert Achterberg scores the fight 46:49
In favor of your winner, by split decision... Frank Macey!
Frank Macey retains his light heavyweight title!
