I would just about give that final round to Thomas Howell.
I think Howell has won this one but let's see whether the judges agree with me. 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 Summer Carpenter scores the fight 47:48
Judge Eliza Hachem scores the fight 47:48
Judge Damien Edna scores the fight 47:48
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Thomas Howell!
Thomas Howell is the new light heavyweight champion!
