Cid Saturday showed his dominance in that final round.
I think Saturday has won this one but let's see what the judges have to say. 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 Ackerman scores the fight 48:47
Judge Chris Edwards scores the fight 48:47
Judge Sam Margolis scores the fight 48:47
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Cid Saturday!
Cid Saturday is the new heavyweight champion!
