Dilbert Chavez comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
I've got Chavez winning every round here. Surely the decision will go his way and he'll pick up a well deserved decision victory. 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 David Schapiro scores the fight 45:50
Judge Lou da Vinci scores the fight 44:50
Judge Anthony Taglia scores the fight 45:50
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Dilbert Chavez!
Dilbert Chavez is the new featherweight champion!
