Arnold Barboza Jr took the divided decision of victory over Jacek Cattell in Manchester, England, winning the short-lived title of WBO Super Lightweight and remaining an undefeated victory.
Barboza (32-0, 11 KO) took two cards 115-113, and Cattell (30-2, 13 KO) received the same result 115-113 on the third card. The bad left hook unofficially shot him 115-113 for Barbozy, which was on the road and entered slightly weaker.
Talking at least it was not a matter of fireworks, which was also not a surprise, because the fight adapted to each other a couple of qualified craftsmen, and became more about choosing places and an attempt to score points than any continuous crime or enormous exchange.
33-year-old Barboza felt that he won even more clearly, but he did not cast any shadow towards the judges or Cattell, and said that he hoped that he was picking up several fans in Manchester.
“To be forthright, I didn’t have so close, I thought I won more rounds, but it’s his yard,” Barboza said, adding that he wasn’t sure what would happen next, but he knows that his team would work on it.
TheOfimo Lopez is a clear option, but it will depend on how everyone knows, what Lopez really wants to do.
Barboza and Catterall showed great respect, and Catterall said that he would support this Barboza and winning the full WBO title.
“A challenging fight, strict fight, without arguments. Congratulations to Barbozy. I thought that I did enough time there, but it wasn’t good enough,” said Catterall. “I just want to see how he continued and fights for the title of world champion, I hope he defeats Teo. Proster back to the gym for me, we’ll come back.”

Reece Bellotti quite well -dominated rival Michael Gomez Jrforcing the corner stop after nine rounds. Gomez (21-2, 6 KO) fell in the fifth and eighth rounds and simply could not keep up Bellotti (20-5, 15 KO), which retains British and community titles Super Peather Wweight. Gomez was a game, but he is never really very competitive after the opening round, with too much pace of Belotti, and Gomez was too effortless for Belotti. Gomez was not elated with the break, but it was probably the right phone. He didn’t have a real path to victory.

Pat McCormack It turned in the dominant performance in “Fight on weight” on paper with a veteran Robbie Davies JrBy winning three of the charm, before Davies was pulled out after the sixth round. McCormack (7-0, 5 KO) is 30 years this summer and will probably want to move this year in the Semi-Ied Department, which takes place for many modern blood, at least, and passed the test, which was really worth, with flying colors.

But it was a good fight, well matched, and Dickens won the victory. The results are 96-94, 97-93 and 97-93.
