The crowd cheering loudly, showing their appreciation for the quality fight we're seeing here. Gajewski lands a shoulder strike that jolts his opponent's head backwards. Yurinov fails to land with a short punch on the inside.
And that's the end of the fight! I would just about give that final round to Andrzej Gajewski. I think Gajewski 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 Illya Tyunina scores the fight 47:48 Judge Vladimir Khabensky scores the fight 47:48 Judge Aleksandr Martynov scores the fight 47:48
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Andrzej Gajewski! Andrzej Gajewski retains his bantamweight title! A loyal slave to those sponsorship dollars, Andrzej Gajewski made sure he mentioned GREEN!, along with how happy he was to win his fight.
