Adis Tankov showed his dominance in that final round.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Tankov, winning every round. Will the judges agree? They are the ones who matter, even if they are often depressingly incompetent. 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 Elvis Blanc scores the fight 50:45
Judge Gregory Folan scores the fight 50:45
Judge Steve Smith scores the fight 50:45
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Adis Tankov!
Adis Tankov retains his welterweight title!
