Making his 1st defense after shocking Kovalev to take the belt earlier this year, Sullivan Barrera faced Thomas Oosthuizen - the unbeaten current WBC SMW champ making his debut @ 175.
In one hell of a fight, TO showed the true heart & grit of a champ in the 15th when he went after the champ in what we all knew was a close fight. A TO right hook dropped Barrera & he just kept punching until the ref stepped in at 2:41 of the round.
Barrera was up on all 3 cards: 134-132 & 133-132, twice.
TO had the PL edge - 326 (34%) to 275 (21%).
