WBC JMW title
In his most impressive performance since winning the title from Margarito last year, Chris Pearson dropped tough Brit, Liam Smith, 5 times on his way to a relatively easy 3rd title defense - the fight stopped 12 seconds into the 14th due to a cut over Liam's right eye (which was also swelling at the orange level).
Cards read 124-118, 124-117, 127-116 all for Chris who's now 11-1-1 with 5 KOs.
Liam falls to 12-2 with 7 KO's. Liam's other loss was by decision to Julian Williams in Smith's bid for the IBF belt.
