And that's the end of the fight!
Mickey ONeil comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
I've got ONeil 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 Trevor Gratis scores the fight 45:50
Judge Dillan Fox scores the fight 45:50
Judge Ian Loll scores the fight 45:50
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Mickey ONeil! Mickey ONeil retains his bantamweight title!
Mickey ONeil gave a mention to Steel Penn's Laundry 93% in his post fight interview. That will please them (and hopefully generate some sales).
