I would just about give that final round to Jackson Pollock.
I think Pollock 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 David Schapiro scores the fight 47:48
Judge Jonathan Paton scores the fight 47:48
Judge Alyssa Summers scores the fight 47:48
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Jackson Pollock!
Jackson Pollock is the new welterweight champion!
In his post fight interview, Jackson Pollock started talking himself up. Luckily his charisma kept the crowd on side and gave him a good reception.
