That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Mark Coleman.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Coleman, winning every round. Will the judges agree? They are the ones who matter, even if they are often depressingly incompetent. 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 Stewart Dunkirk scores the fight 50:45
Judge Tiny Johnson scores the fight 50:45
Judge Alan Glass scores the fight 50:45
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Mark Coleman!
Mark Coleman is the new heavyweight champion!
