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 Tim Key.
Well Key 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 Johanna Lukiainen scores the fight 50:45
Judge Tarja Halkonen scores the fight 50:46
Judge Roosa Järviläinen scores the fight 50:45
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Tim Key!
Tim Key retains his bantamweight title!
Tim Key seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website.
