Notes

In his first fight since August 2009, former WBC super lightweight champion Junior Witter (37-4-2, 22 KOs) shockingly lost a ten round majority decision against Victor Puiu (19-1-2, 9 KOs) in a welterweight bout on Saturday night at the Hershey Centre, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. Witter frustrated Puiu with his constant clinching, but tired badly late in the fight. Scores were 97-91, 96-93, 94-95. Witter was deducted a point for holding in round nine and spent a lot of time on the canvas totally gassed. With the win, Puiu claims the vacant WBC Silver International title.
