Harris looks to score with a jab to the body but Daniels is just out of range. Good leg kick by Daniels there. It's the ones that make that thud noise that hurt and that was an almighty thud.
Like a baseball bat into the meat of his leg there - nice leg kick by Daniels.
Harris fakes with the hands and throws a leg kick but Daniels is out of range. A solid leg kick lands there for Daniels.
And that's the end of the fight! I would just about give that final round to Jack Daniels. I've got Daniels winning every round here. Surely the decision will go his way and he'll pick up a well deserved decision victory. 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 Bishop scores the fight 45:50 Judge Colin Fotheringham scores the fight 45:50 Judge William Gold scores the fight 45:50
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Jack Daniels! Jack Daniels is the new lightweight champion! A relieved looking Jack Daniels thanked the fans for their support and gave the usual line about them being amazing. They seemed to believe that he actually meant it. The defeated Derek Harris had this to say: 'Hmm.. Should i go back to kickboxing for awhile? Or rematch then? Next time ko is quaranteed!'.
