Well Master 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 John Kavanagh scores the fight 50:45 Judge Reed Andrews scores the fight 50:45 Judge Alyssa Summers scores the fight 50:45
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... The Master! The Master is the new lightweight champion! The Master seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website.
