I would just about give that final round to Jayson Timmons.
I think Shadie has won this one but let's see what the judges have to say. 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 Johanna Lukiainen scores the fight 49:46
Judge Arvi Lind scores the fight 49:46
Judge Roosa Järviläinen scores the fight 49:46
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Slim Shadie!
Slim Shadie retains his lightweight title!
