That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Billy Dessler.

Billy Dessler retains his lightweight title!
Billy Dessler took some time post fight to say the following; 'I want a HOF induction. It would be my honour and that's what I'm working towards. I just defended my title again, and before that I took a fight with a beast 205'er on 3 days notice and won. I think I deserve it but I'm going to keep taking titles and keeping mine. Thanks everyone, I'm the real !'.
