Arnold Barboza Jr came one step cling to the super lithe title WBO on Co-OP Live Arena in Manchester this Saturday, when he won the decision with Jacek Cattell to win the transient version of the crown.
Catterall (30-2, 13 KO) was in the process of a good spell in his career, with several impressive recent victories, and “El Gato” left the canvas against Regis Prograis on his last trip, after which he declared the American to the American twice Win unanimous points. Barboza Jr (32-0, 11 KO) did not pass before ten rounds, but he won points with the former United World Champion, Jose Carlos Ramirez in Riyadh in November last year.
Catterall began clearly, landing with effective shots in the opener, and his patient production worked well because he landed cleaner blows against the busy barboza in the second round.
Barboza began to raise the pressure in the third round, and his rapid hands and work rate began to play, but the Cattell counterattack still caused American problems when the fight reached halfway.

The sweet time combination of Barbozy was in seventh place, but Catterall replied newly later with a few left hooks landing purely. Both of them achieved their successes, and the round ten saw how he put his foot on gas again, although he hit the canvas that was ruled as a slip. The penultimate round was close, and this established the finish of the grandstand, in which the fight was looking for grips, and the couple allowed the last bell to be.
Two results 115-113 were enough for Barbose to raise his hand, and the third judge fired the same for Cattell. Barboz will approach the meeting with the WBO master, Teofimo Lopez.
Dickens stunns Barrett
James “Jazza” Dickens (35-5, 14 KO) took the clash of Crossroads to Undercard when he inflicted Barrett (31-3, 17 Kos) in his career, scoring points at their meeting. Dickens won using two cards, according to the results 97-93, and the third judge had it 96-94 to Liverpudlian.

Belotti Batars Gomez
The Indian summer Reece Belotti (20-5, 15 KO) was continued, when he defended his British and community titles Super Feather Wweight, forcing Michael Gomez Jr (21-2, 6 KO) to retire at the end of the ninth round. Gomez was twice during the fight, once in the fifth, and again at the eighth, both from the body shots, and Bellotti still had to overcome a nasty cut to perform the task.
Further summary of the card

The only four round came in a featherweight, in which Alfie Middlemiss (2-0, 0 KO) won points over Caine Singh (1-6-2, 0 KO).

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.

The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.

McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.
The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
