And that's the end of the fight!
That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to King Naresuan.
Well Naresuan has outscored his opponent in every aspect of the fight today. Only a scarily incompetent judge or two will keep him from a well deserved win... 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 Ron Honeybunn scores the fight 49:45
Judge Ben Hemmingworth scores the fight 48:46
Judge Skip Squint scores the fight 48:46

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... King Naresuan!

After winning the bout, King Naresuan thanked all his fans and promised he'd do even better in his next fight. The crowd seemed to love his humility.
