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 George Steele.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Steele, 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 Trevor Gratis scores the fight 50:45
Judge William Peck scores the fight 50:44
Judge Steve Smith scores the fight 50:44
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... George Steele!
George Steele is the new light heavyweight champion!
