Gilbert Schilt comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Schilt 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 Aleksandr Martynov scores the fight 45:50
Judge Sergei Dronov scores the fight 45:50
Judge Konstantin Menshow scores the fight 45:50
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Gilbert Schilt! Gilbert Schilt retains his light heavyweight title!
