Homer Simpson showed his dominance in that final round.
I think Dama has won this one but let's see whether the judges agree with me. 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 William Peck scores the fight 46:49
Judge Dillan Fox scores the fight 47:49
Judge Trevor Gratis scores the fight 46:49
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Genki Dama!
Genki Dama is the new featherweight champion!
Genki Dama decided to thank the fans in attendance for making a great atmosphere. It seemed to go down pretty well.
