Vaiduoklis went nuts there looking for a big combo counter but none of the flurry connected.
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 Juodasis Vaiduoklis.
Well Vaiduoklis has outscored his opponent in every aspect of the fight today. Only a scarily incompetent judge or two will keep him from a well deserved win... 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 Steve Montenegro scores the fight 45:50

Judge Joseph Jones scores the fight 48:47
The fight is ruled a draw!
Juodasis Vaiduoklis retains his title. It's always disappointing when a championship fight ends as a draw but that's what happens when you leave the fight in the judges hands!
