And that's the end of the fight!
Jed Kim showed his dominance in that final round.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Kim, 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 Suge Night scores the fight 50:45
Judge Frank Antenori scores the fight 49:46
Judge Jack Bonds scores the fight 50:45
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Jed Kim!
Jed Kim is the new lightweight champion!
