And that's the end of the fight!
Luca de Silva showed his dominance in that final round.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for de Silva, 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 Andi Peters scores the fight 50:45
Judge Gordon Ramsey scores the fight 50:45
Judge Frank Skinner scores the fight 50:45
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Luca de Silva!
Luca de Silva retains his welterweight title!
