Real tough gruelling fight for both men,at least 10 of the 15 rounds could've gone either way really,I had Conteh pulling away at the end to take it 144-142,Ahumada looked a bit crude and left hook happy but he was tough and Conteh struggled at times to land clean so he knew what he was doing by getting in close and closing the distance, John's a bit naughty with the head up close but a great night for British boxing

Thought the ref was a bit quick to wave the Hutchins fight off but there was no complaints so he must have seen something in his eyes to suggest he was finished for the night

Just having a look. Conteh really was a talent, so skillful and with such physical gifts.

146-142 Conteh

Close, competitive fight, but Conteh pulled away at the end a bit to get a fairly clear win on my scorecard.

Was Conteh considered the No. 1 after winning this?

Yes, but surely only because the great Bob Foster retired in 74

First thing I noticed about this fight, was how much they look like Balboa and Creed, in looks and posture in particular, but kind of in style at times too

147 - 139 for Conteh
I've got it a good bit wider than anyone else, including the ref and commentator, but I really did just prefer what John had to do.
Great effort from Ahumada but Conteh was good to watch, very tidy and stylish boxer
