Richard Cheese comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Cheese has outworked and out performed his opponent in all aspects of the game today. He was simply too good and the decision should be no more than a formality. 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 James Atkins scores the fight for Richard Cheese!
Judge Colin Fotheringham scores the fight for Richard Cheese!
