Dong Hyuk half committed to a counter leg kick.
A leg kick checked by Preston.
And that's the end of the fight!
That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Shin Dong Hyuk.
Well Dong Hyuk has outscored his opponent in every aspect of the fight today. Only a scarily incompetent judge or two will keep him from a well deserved win... 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 Micheangelo Fripello scores the fight 50:45
Judge Chris Saunders scores the fight 50:45
Judge Roger Salmon scores the fight 50:45
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Shin Dong Hyuk!
In his post fight interview, Shin Dong Hyuk started talking himself up. Luckily his charisma kept the crowd on side and gave him a good reception.
