Shabaz Masoud kept his undefeated record and won the European super bantamweight title, beating Peter McGrail by unanimous decision in Monte Carlo.
Masoud (15-0, 4 KO) won on scores of 114-113, 115-112, and 116-111 in a tight, competitive fight that really could have gone either way.
McGrail (12-2, 6 KO) seemed to have the better of the first half of the bout, but Masoud made a really good charge in the first part of the second half, before taking his foot off the gas a bit down the stretch, leaving the decision debatable and the announcement of the winner a tense one.
Bad Left Hook unofficially scored the fight 115-112 for McGrail, who was deducted a point in the 10th round for punching behind the head.
