And that's the end of the fight!
Antonio James comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well James 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 Mauricio Rocha scores the fight 44:50
Judge Alexandre Firmino scores the fight 44:50
Judge Daniel Cesar scores the fight 44:50
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Antonio James!
Antonio James is the new super heavyweight champion!
