And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Garik Harlamov.
I think Boone 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 Igor Prikhodko scores the fight 49:44
Judge Dmitry Maklakov scores the fight 50:43
Judge Fedor Mirinova scores the fight 49:44
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Robert Boone!
Robert Boone retains his super heavyweight title!
An out of breath Robert Boone thanked his loyal fans in his post fight interview, giving them credit for his success over the course of his career.
