Andrzej Gajewski comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Gajewski 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 Konstantin Menshow scores the fight 45:50
Judge Ivan Kurochkin scores the fight 41:50
Judge Fedor Mirinova scores the fight 45:50
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Andrzej Gajewski! Andrzej Gajewski retains his bantamweight title!
A very excited looking Andrzej Gajewski made sure he remembered to thank all the fans both in the arena and on the internet. He said all the coolest people spend all day on MMA websites, which got a big reaction.
