And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to James Dean Rockefeller.
Well Rockefeller has outworked and out performed his opponent in all aspects of the game today. He was simply too good and the decision should be no more than a formality. 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 Patrick Alders scores the fight 47:48
Judge Saam Ante scores the fight 47:48
Judge Aafke Stam scores the fight 47:48
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... James Dean Rockefeller!
James Dean Rockefeller is the new welterweight champion!
James Dean Rockefeller seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website.
