I would just about give that final round to Kabu Loso.
Well Azhari 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 Daniel Blasius scores the fight 49:46
Judge Paulsen Ambrosius scores the fight 49:46
Judge Saam Ante scores the fight 50:46
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Ebrahim Azhari!
Ebrahim Azhari retains his lightweight title!
An out of breath Ebrahim Azhari thanked his loyal fans in his post fight interview, giving them credit for his success over the course of his career.
