and Jackson takes a counter punch right on the button for his troubles. CPW stumbles momentarily as he takes a strong leg kick from Jackson. Jackson fakes with the hands and throws a leg kick but CPW is out of range.
And that's the end of the fight! I would just about give that final round to Slick CPW. Well Jackson has outscored his opponent in every aspect of the fight today. Only a scarily incompetent judge or two will keep him from a well deserved win... 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 Sam Margolis scores the fight for Grant Jackson! Judge James Glass scores the fight for Grant Jackson! Judge Richard Clark scores the fight for Grant Jackson!
Grant Jackson wins by unanimous decision! Grant Jackson retains his featherweight title!
