Chantelle Cameron shines in headlining act against Mary McGee
Chantelle Cameron not only retained her WBC super-lightweight title but claimed the IBF version held by her opponent Mary McGee and became the first The Ring Magazine women's super-lightweight champ in a great main event at London's O2 Arena on Saturday.
Initially set to be headlined by Dillian Whyte vs. Otto Wallin, the show was instead concluded by an all-out war between England's Cameron and American McGee. Though the two exchanged openly in scintillating moments throughout the fight, Cameron's movement and ability to land clean shots were on another level to her adversary.
As a result, she took all three judges' scorecards, with one having her winning the 10-round bout by 99-91, one by 99-92, and the third having her shutting out the Indiana combatant, 100-90.
The bout was also a semi-final in a 'Road To Undisputed' tournament that will eventually crown an undisputed champion in the division. Based on this evidence, Cameron is a solid shout to be wearing all the gold before long.
Undercard
On the undercard, Alen Babic needed just five seconds to drop Eric Molina, who then moped his way to a second-round defeat at the hands of 'The Savage', who then called out Dave Allen for his next bout in what should be much more of a spirited challenge for the Croatian.
And popular prospect Johnny Fisher continued his winning ways to a huge ovation from the pro-'Romford Bull' crowd when he halted Spain's Alvaro Terrero.
