And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Long Hung Dong.
Well Chaos 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 Topper Green scores the fight 48:47
Judge Bruno Hogan scores the fight 48:47
Judge John Mangel scores the fight 48:47
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Max Chaos!
Max Chaos retains his welterweight title!
Our winner, Max Chaos, made sure he spent some time buttering up the crowd during his post fight interview, which will no doubt bring him a few more fans.
