Catterall vs Barboza

Arnold Barboz Jr. He upset the home crowd when the American took a short-lived super lightweight WBO title in a tactical battle with Jacek Cattell in Manchester.

Barbosis annulled the work of Cattell, rejecting the favorite before fighting for the early rounds. As the Barboza competition progressed as well as he got as a chess match played for twelve rounds.

The 33-year-old impressed the judges enough to make a decision and a belt with two judges 115-113. The third saw this 113-115 in favor of Cattell for a divided decision on the Live Arena Co-OP.

WBN shot a draw of the fight, but he could not argue with the fact that Barboza got him because Cattell did not do enough to win. Compupox Stats for Catterall vs Barboza proved how tough it was to divide both men.

“It was a strict fight, as evidenced by the fact that only in one of the twelve rounds were veterans separated by more than four landed blows,” said Compubox. “Barboza and Catterall Maleli and they missed a lot, but Barboza was a more vigorous warrior, throwing 123 more blows, but landing only 18 blows than Catterall.

“Barbosa spent most of the fight Catteralla circulated, moving in and out of reach, while Cattell was looking for holes that did not materialize. Cattell threw only 25 blows per round, and Barbosa on average 36. “

After his greatest triumph, Barboza thanked the Oscar de la Hoya, calling him the “greatest promoter” in the industry. De la Hoya mentioned a few times about Barboza during the struggle in social media, stating that it has a level of six rounds, just like WBN.

After the sentence, De la Hoya added “and novel” because he will probably pack into another world champion in stable Golden Boy promotions.

Teofimo Lopez holds a full belt, but apparently it is ready to be released, not to face barboza, which means that there is an improvement on the cards. Lopez is looking for alternative challenges despite the mandatory WBO order to fight Barboza over the next few months.

The consensus is that Lopez will look elsewhere, and Barboz will soon celebrate its first world championships.

Reece Bellotti, Pat McCormack, Jazza Dickens and William Crolla enjoyed the victories on the card.

Dave Allen goes the distance in his first fight since Hrgovic’s loss

Dave Allen poses with Ross McGuigan and team members after their four-round heavyweight bout in Rotherham

Dave Allen returned to winning ways on Saturday night, going the full distance in less than six weeks after a controversial stoppage defeat to Filip Hrgovic.

The popular heavyweight outpointed Ross McGuigan over four rounds in Rotherham, improving his record to 26-9-2.

Allen featured just 36 days after his defeat to Hrgovic at Doncaster. This fight sparked debate when his corner threw in the towel after three rounds.

The quick comeback only deepened that debate, with Allen previously noting that he was never knocked down despite sharing the ring with some of boxing’s greatest hitters.

Against McGuigan, Allen managed to gain valuable runs under his belt and shake off the disappointment of defeat to Hrgovic without suffering significant penalties.

McGuigan, from Peckham, London, lost ten times in eighteen fights before Allen’s tally was eleven. The 40-year-old was stopped by the debutant in his previous appearance in May.

The four-round contest was a modest return for the “White Rhino,” but one that allowed him to stay lively ahead of his next scheduled appearance on July 25.

The trip also served as a reminder that Allen has no intention of remaining passive despite the setback, with another fight already on the calendar this summer.

After Hrgovic’s defeat, Saturday’s victory gave him a chance to rebuild the momentum and gain some rounds before taking on the next challenge.

Allen’s next fight is expected to be another stepping stone before he pursues greater opportunities later in the year.

Hours later, Colantonio also found success, defeating Zach Contos in eight rounds in Victoria, British Columbia, improving to 8-2 and winning the World Boxing Foundation International heavyweight title.

The pair last met on February 21 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, where Edwards earned a unanimous decision in a hard-fought six-round fight that raised the profile of both fighters.

In an interview with World Boxing News after defeating Contos, Colantonio thanked those who supported his career.

“I just want to thank everyone who has supported me along my journey and I will continue my pursuit of a world title,” Colantonio told WBN.

The results mean both men emerged from Saturday night with victories, adding another chapter to a rivalry that helped introduce them to a wider audience earlier this year.

Both Edwards and Colantonio have spoken to WBN about the fight since it made headlines for the Ryan Garcia vs. Mario Barrios fight.

Four months after crossing paths in Las Vegas, both heavyweights left on Saturday night with fresh enthusiasm as they enter the second half of 2026.
