Tayu misses with a straight right.
And that's the end of the fight!
Pinero Chai showed his dominance in that final round.
Well Chai has outscored his opponent in every aspect of the fight today. Only a scarily incompetent judge or two will keep him from a well deserved win... 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 Hirohito Nitta scores the fight 50:45
Judge Yasuomi Hirokawa scores the fight 50:45
Judge Kenichi Hosakawa scores the fight 50:45
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Pinero Chai!
Pinero Chai seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website.
