Well Wild 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 Percy O'Donnell scores the fight 45:50 Judge Don Winkell scores the fight 47:48 Judge Jack Bonds scores the fight 47:48
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Wet Wild! Wet Wild is the new middleweight champion! Wet Wild managed to slip a mention for his sponsors, UnderGround Supplements, into his post fight interview.
