Harold Nicolas showed his dominance in that final round.
Well Nicolas 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 Yukihiro Yamamoto scores the fight 50:45
Judge Ren Mimura scores the fight 50:45
Judge Tatsuya Matsuyama scores the fight 50:45
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Harold Nicolas!
Harold Nicolas retains his light heavyweight title!
A very excited looking Harold Nicolas rambled incoherently for about 5 minutes post fight about how awesome he is. It was kinda funny for a while but then everyone got annoyed.
