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 Orlando Diggs.
Well Diggs 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 Steven Brown scores the fight 50:45
Judge William Gold scores the fight 49:46
Judge Donald Grub scores the fight 49:46

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Orlando Diggs!
Orlando Diggs retains his welterweight title!
A less than humble Orlando Diggs misjudged his post fight interview somewhat and came across a little too arrogant whilst trying to hype up his own abilities.
