And that's the end of the fight!
Dallas Riley comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Riley has outworked and out performed his opponent in all aspects of the game today. He was simply too good and the decision should be no more than a formality. 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 Alan Glass scores the fight 45:50
Judge Daniel Franklin scores the fight 45:50
Judge Chris Downing scores the fight 45:50
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Dallas Riley!
Dallas Riley is the new welterweight champion!
