That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Sacco Vanzetti.
Well Vanzetti 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 Alan Glass scores the fight 50:45
Judge Tiny Johnson scores the fight 50:45
Judge Robert Twigg scores the fight 50:45
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Sacco Vanzetti!
Sacco Vanzetti is the new light heavyweight champion!
Sacco Vanzetti gave a mention to Hellbent in his post fight interview. That will please them (and hopefully generate some sales).
