Jason Lee comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Lee 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 Shirou Masuda scores the fight 45:50
Judge Tatsuya Matsuyama scores the fight 45:50
Judge Shigeki Fujiwara scores the fight 45:50

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Jason Lee!
Jason Lee is the new middleweight champion!
Jason Lee spent the whole post fight interview bigging himself up. It didn't go down that well with the fans after a while as they thought it was a bit arrogant.
