I think Thomas 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 Yves DeLean scores the fight 49:46
Judge Ian Loll scores the fight 49:46
Judge Elvis Blanc scores the fight 49:46

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Doc Thomas!
As Doc Thomas got his breath back, he grabbed the microphone and managed to blurt out the following: I would like to say that I am offically looking to sign a multi-fight deal.'.
