Bruce Allen has stepped it up - he knows he needs a finish here!
That's two minutes gone in the round.
My god... these two guys really need to pick up the pace or everyone will leave to go get a beer.
That's three minutes gone in the round.
That's four minutes gone in the round.
A few boos can be heard. I'm sure they will multiply if the fighters don't pick up the pace.
Shaq manages to escape to his feet.
Boooooooooooooooooooo!!! God, this has been a terrible round. Come on you two, sort yourselves out!
Shaq clinches up with Allen and pushes him back against the cage.
And that's the end of the fight!
Bruce Allen comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Shaq 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 Sergei Dronov scores the fight 49:46
Judge Illya Tyunina scores the fight 49:46
Judge Valeri Chadov scores the fight 49:46
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Roadman Shaq!
Roadman Shaq is the new featherweight champion!
Jumping up and down and very excited, Roadman Shaq waved his t-shirt featuring Zenith Nutrition (160q/$200)'s logo in front of the cameras.
