That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Jermaine Choake.
I think Choake 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 Summer Carpenter scores the fight 49:47
Judge Bruno Hogan scores the fight 50:46
Judge Donatello Bradman scores the fight 49:47
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Jermaine Choake!
Jermaine Choake retains his welterweight title!
Jermaine Choake really struggled to get his t-shirt on before his hand was raised. Making sure that Hell's Balls Recovery (160) logo gets some air time is pretty tricky when you're all sweaty.
