Elkins explodes with a nice body kick and back out of range. Nice work.
As the round comes to an end the crowd are showing their appreciation for a great round of action.
Elkins chopped to the floor by a nice leg kick but he springs right back up before Ford can pounce on him.
Ford will be looking to protect his midsection after taking some solid kicks to the body.
Elkins lands with a head kick! That's gotta hurt.
And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Dwight Elkins.
Well Elkins 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 Trevor Gratis scores the fight 45:50
Judge Gregory Folan scores the fight 45:50
Judge Alec Ball scores the fight 45:50
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Dwight Elkins! Dwight Elkins retains his middleweight title!
