Reilly lands with an uppercut that bounces Bronson off the cage and back into range.

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 John C Reilly.
I think Reilly 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 Percy O'Donnell scores the fight 48:47
Judge Jack Bonds scores the fight 48:48
Judge Don Winkell scores the fight 48:47

In favor of your winner, by majority decision... John C Reilly!
A very excited looking John C Reilly rambled incoherently for about 5 minutes post fight about how awesome he is. It was kinda funny for a while but then everyone got annoyed.
