Harry Simon won his 2nd title @ 160 via a 13th round TKO of the rugged Marco Antonio Rubio for the vacant WBO belt.

Simon lost his IBF MW title last year by decision to Sebastian Sylvester in May of 2011.

In a brutal, give & take affair, Simon finally proved too strong for Rubio in the 13th with 2 KD's & the beating Rubio suffered along the ropes caused the ref to end the fight. Simon now moves to 16-1 @ 160. Simon outpunched Rubio 366 to 225 & had a 46% connect % to 25% for Rubio. Simon was also ahead on all 3 cards: 116-112, 115-113 & 116-111.

Simon has a 9-1 record @ 154 (his lone loss to WBA champ Davey Moore by UD years ago). Simon might now drop back down to JMW to claim a strap @ the lower weight.
