And that's the end of the fight!
Pete Pezili showed his dominance in that final round.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Pezili, winning every round. Will the judges agree? They are the ones who matter, even if they are often depressingly incompetent. 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 Frank Dennis scores the fight 50:45
Judge Tiny Johnson scores the fight 50:45
Judge Gwen Towbar scores the fight 50:45
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Pete Pezili!
