I think Neckbreaker 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 Steven Brown scores the fight 48:48
Judge Sam Margolis scores the fight 47:48
Judge Andrew Berry scores the fight 47:48
In favor of your winner, by majority decision... Slammy Neckbreaker!
Slammy Neckbreaker is the new bantamweight champion!
After winning the bout, Slammy Neckbreaker thanked all his fans and promised he'd do even better in his next fight. The crowd seemed to love his humility.
