Martin Murray earns points victory over Gabriel Rosado

23 April 2017 12:19

Martin Murray beat Gabriel Rosado on a controversial majority points decision to claim the WBA Inter-continental Middleweight Championship title in Liverpool.

Murray was awarded the victory on a split decision, with one judge scoring it 119-109 in the St Helens fighter's favour.

That incensed New Yorker Rosado, who berated the judges after the fight and had to be pulled away from Murray as the two men squared up.

Murray was perhaps the better boxer throughout, but had to withstand a late barrage as Rosado tried to get the knockout in the final couple of rounds.
