Charlie Reynolds comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
Well Reynolds 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 Steven Brown scores the fight 44:50
Judge William Gold scores the fight 44:50
Judge Daniel Bishop scores the fight 44:50
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Charlie Reynolds!
Charlie Reynolds is the new lightweight champion!
