And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Aaron McGinnis.
I think Fighter has won this one but let's see what the judges have to say. 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 Viktor Lagutenko scores the fight 46:49
Judge Ivan Kurochkin scores the fight 48:48
Judge Sergei Dronov scores the fight 48:47

The fight is ruled a draw!
Street Fighter retains his title. It's always disappointing when a championship fight ends as a draw but that's what happens when you leave the fight in the judges hands!
