WBO SMW champ, Errol Christie, looked to make short work of Ben McCulloch & jumped on the challenger in the 1st round. Errol swelled up Ben's left & looked like he was about to have an early & easy title defense. The tough Aussie had other ideas as he battled back & forth with the Brit - a man 19 years his senior.
A combo in the 12th sent Ben to the canvas for the only KD of the fight. In the end, Errol was able to retain his belt with a Majority Draw - 142-142 twice while 1 judge gave the British champ a 144-141 edge.
PL were 324 (27%) to 313 (23%) in Errol's favor.
It was Errol's 3rd title defense & he's now 7-1-1 with 5 KO's.
