I would just about give that final round to Iivari Alamaa.
I think Alamaa 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 5 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Chris Downing scores the fight 47:49
Judge George Francis scores the fight 47:48
Judge Wesley Smith scores the fight 47:48
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Iivari Alamaa!
Iivari Alamaa is the new middleweight champion!
During a confident post fight interview, Iivari Alamaa thanked all his fans. He seemed very genuine when describing how motivated his fans keep him.
