WBA MW champ Herol Graham moved 8 pounds north to take on Northern Ireland's Brian Magee for his WBO SMW strap & took the title with a 13th round 3 KD victory. Magee seemed to be the bigger, stronger fighter in the early rounds but gradually Herol's speed & boxing took over as he finished off the champ in the championship rounds to leave no doubt.
Herol was up 426 to 156 in PL & had an accuracy edge of 43% to 17%. Herol also lead on all 3 cards 119-109, 117-111 & 117-112.
Magee was making his 5th title defense & falls to 16-2-1 with 12 KO's. Herol plans to defend his WBA MW belt in mid Jan.
