And that's the end of the fight!
That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Jefferson Murillo.
I think Buzzard has won this one but let's see whether the judges agree with me. 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 Downing scores the fight 45:50
Judge Tiny Johnson scores the fight 46:50
Judge George Francis scores the fight 49:48
In favor of your winner, by split decision... Sir Anthony Buzzard!
Sir Anthony Buzzard is the new middleweight champion!
Sir Anthony Buzzard tried to hype himself up post fight but didn't word it too well and it ended up with him sounding like a bit of a tool.
