Kimmy Tune has stepped it up - he knows he needs a finish here!
The crowd thankful this round is nearly over.
Tune is looking for a triangle but Flair pushes his legs off easily.
And that's the end of the fight!
Rice Flair comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Flair has outworked and out performed his opponent in all aspects of the game today. He was simply too good and the decision should be no more than a formality. 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 Elvis Blanc scores the fight 46:49
Judge Alec Ball scores the fight 46:49
Judge Yves DeLean scores the fight 46:49
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Rice Flair!
Rice Flair is the new lightweight champion!
