And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Jyrki The Cash.
I've got The Cash winning every round here. Surely the decision will go his way and he'll pick up a well deserved decision victory. 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 Colin Fotheringham scores the fight 45:50
Judge Chris Edwards scores the fight 45:50
Judge James Ackerman scores the fight 45:50
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Jyrki The Cash!
Jyrki The Cash is the new light heavyweight champion!
Jyrki The Cash decided to go for the less than humble approach in his post fight interview, telling everyone how he is going to conquer the world. The crowd seemed to like it when really that sort of approach could have gone either way.
In defeat, Kazuma Kuwabara stepped up to the mic, saying 'We all have to die when our time comes, but if we do our duty we don't got regrets'.
