Dostoevsky misses with a knee strike.
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 Vlad Dostoevsky.
I think Lucas has won this one but let's see whether the judges agree with me. 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 Ben Zyskovitsi scores the fight 49:48
Judge Anni Minnemäki scores the fight 46:49
Judge Arvi Lind scores the fight 47:49
In favor of your winner, by split decision... Henry Lucas!
An out of breath Henry Lucas thanked his loyal fans in his post fight interview, giving them credit for his success over the course of his career.
