Misalooba is trying to work out of this bad position, with his back against the cage.
Chavez dips a shoulder and cracks Misalooba with a mighty uppercut! Misalooba falls back against the cage and Chavez unloads with a barrage of strikes! Misalooba is completely out with his eyes open, only supported by the cage! Save him ref! Eventually the ref decides to do his job and jumps in - Chavez screams abuse at the incompetent official before going over to celebrate with his corner. Brutal stuff!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:40 of round 5, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Domingo Chavez!
Domingo Chavez retains his welterweight title!
A less than humble Domingo Chavez misjudged his post fight interview somewhat and came across a little too arrogant whilst trying to hype up his own abilities.
