And that's the end of the fight!
Carmine Hawkins showed his dominance in that final round.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Hawkins, 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 Damien Edna scores the fight 50:45
Judge Summer Carpenter scores the fight 50:45
Judge Hugh Johnson scores the fight 50:45
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Carmine Hawkins!
Carmine Hawkins retains his welterweight title!
