Mitchel decides to stand back up.
And that's the end of the fight!
That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Roy Mitchel.
I think Mitchel 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 Konstantin Menshow scores the fight 48:47
Judge Aleksei Zolotukhin scores the fight 48:47
Judge Valeri Chadov scores the fight 48:47
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Roy Mitchel!
Roy Mitchel is the new lightweight champion!
