I've got Alves winning every round here. Surely the decision will go his way and he'll pick up a well deserved decision victory. 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 Gregory Folan scores the fight 46:49
Judge Steve Smith scores the fight 45:50
Judge Robert Douchet scores the fight 45:50
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Davi Alves!
Davi Alves is the new featherweight champion!
