As the round comes to an end the crowd are showing their appreciation for a great round of action. Tyson misses the jab. The fighters circling - Tyson throws out the jab but it was never going to land. Good work by Tyson as he checks the leg kick.
And that's the end of the fight! Jay Jay showed his dominance in that final round. I think Jay 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 Paul Tew scores the fight 48:47 Judge Donald Grub scores the fight 48:47 Judge Richard Clark scores the fight 48:47
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Jay Jay! Jay Jay retains his middleweight title!
