Aiden Preston has stepped it up - he knows he needs a finish here!
Preston takes one on the chin but keeps coming.
Wayne lands a powerful looking uppercut that connected with his opponent's jaw.
And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Aiden Preston.
Well Wayne 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 Chris Saunders scores the fight 49:47
Judge Jeff Smith scores the fight 49:46
Judge Ryoma Takatsuka scores the fight 50:45
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Lil Wayne!
Lil Wayne retains his bantamweight title!
During a confident post fight interview, Lil Wayne thanked all his fans. He seemed very genuine when describing how motivated his fans keep him.
