Doherty is intent on slowing down the pace of the fight, simply looking to control.
Ekaku looking to control the pace of the fight rather than finish it.
And that's the end of the fight!
Pete Doherty showed his dominance in that final round.
I think Ekaku 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 Gwen Towbar scores the fight for Hakuin Ekaku!
