Barboza gets interim belt via split decision over Caterall

Arnold Barboza W12 Jack Catterall ... In Manchester, England on Saturday night and live on DAZN, Arnold Barboza Jr. edged out Jack Catterall by split decision to win the WBO interim junior welterweight title. All three judged scored it 115-113, but two saw it for Barobza, with one voting for Catterall.  An emotional Barboza dropped to his knees in tears when he was announced as the winner. The undefeated Barboza is now the mandatory challenger to world champion Teofimo Lopez, who holds the full WBO title. Catterall, considered by some to be the uncrowned world champion since a controversial loss to Josh Taylor at the time Taylor was the undisputed world champion, sees his record fall to 30-2.
