I think Facinelli has won this one but let's see what the judges have to say. 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 Gwen Towbar scores the fight 50:46
Judge Frank Dennis scores the fight 49:46
Judge Cecil Peabody scores the fight 49:46
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Joey Facinelli!
