Irish Power showed his dominance in that final round.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Power, winning every round. Will the judges agree? They are the ones who matter, even if they are often depressingly incompetent. 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 Daniel Blasius scores the fight 50:45
Judge Albert Achterberg scores the fight 50:45
Judge Nard Betker scores the fight 50:45
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Irish Power!
Irish Power retains his featherweight title!
Irish Power thanked the fans post fight for their support.
