Hammersmith misses with a head kick.
Keskisarja lands with a nice low kick. That'll leave a bruise.
And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Magnus Hammersmith.
I think Hammersmith 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 Wagner Zegers scores the fight 45:50
Judge Nard Betker scores the fight 46:50
Judge Saam Ante scores the fight 48:49
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Magnus Hammersmith!
Magnus Hammersmith is the new welterweight champion!
Magnus Hammersmith gave a mention to Cold Blooded Kemists ↑ 5x160Q in his post fight interview. That will please them (and hopefully generate some sales).
