And that's the end of the fight!
Andy King showed his dominance in that final round.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for King, winning every round. Will the judges agree? They are the ones who matter, even if they are often depressingly incompetent. 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 Timothy Bukovac scores the fight 50:43
Judge Percy O'Donnell scores the fight 50:44
Judge Jack Bonds scores the fight 50:44
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Andy King!
