And that's the end of the fight!
That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Dick Caunt.
I think Caunt 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 Steven Brown scores the fight 46:49
Judge Chris Edwards scores the fight 48:47
Judge Andrew Berry scores the fight 48:47
In favor of your winner, by split decision... Dick Caunt!
Dick Caunt is the new featherweight champion!
Dick Caunt tried to hype himself up post fight but didn't word it too well and it ended up with him sounding like a bit of a tool.
