Boxing Challenge: Barboza shades Catterall

    Please forgive the shorter-than-usual recap of the Saturday Boxing Challenge events from DAZN.

I'm fighting off food poisoning which cost me attending a game on Sunday and was very disappointing to miss.

From Manchester, England Arnold Barboza defeated Jack Catterall by a split decision to become the mandatory challenger for Teofimo Lopez's WBO junior welterweight title.

The fight was very close and not all that exciting with all scores at 115-113, two for Barboza and one for Catterall.

I scored 115-113 for Catterall but there wasn't a robbery involved.

In the co-feature British junior lightweight James "Jazza" Dickens upset countryman Zelfa Barrett by Unanimous Decision.

On the evening card from Anaheim, junior welterweight Oscar Duarte stopped Miguel Madueno in seven rounds, and junior welterweight Kenneth Sims won a unanimous decision over Kendo Castaneda.
