Pappalardo throws a head punch that misses.
And that's the end of the fight!
Derek Pappalardo showed his dominance in that final round.
I think Hattori 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 Winston Alpacca scores the fight 46:49
Judge Dirk Anderson scores the fight 46:49
Judge Daniel Franklin scores the fight 46:49
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Masa Hattori!
Masa Hattori is the new lightweight champion!
An out of breath and clearly excited Masa Hattori thanked Hellraiser FightGear for their help and support (and free stuff they sent him).
