And that's the end of the fight!
John Desbatailles comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Desbatailles 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 Dillan Fox scores the fight 45:50
Judge Steve Smith scores the fight 45:50
Judge Gregory Folan scores the fight 45:50
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... John Desbatailles ! John Desbatailles retains his middleweight title!
John Desbatailles seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website.
