I think Hamara 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 Jack Bonds scores the fight for Michael Gleiser!
Judge Percy O'Donnell scores the fight for Michael Gleiser!
Judge Timothy Bukovac scores the fight for Michael Gleiser!
Michael Gleiser wins by unanimous decision!
Michael Gleiser gave a mention to HGH Nutrients Q160 Tycoons Best Quality supps in his post fight interview. That will please them (and hopefully generate some sales).
In defeat, Turo Hamara stepped up to the mic, saying 'Losing... It's what I do.'.
