Jason Quigley retained his NABF middleweight crown via an untidy unanimous decision over the tough Freddy Hernandez.
Quigley took wide verdicts of 98-92 (x2) and 99-91 on the scorecards to move to 15-0 and make a successful first defence of the NABF strap.
39-year-old Hernandez gave Quigley a tough ten rounds and he made sure it went the distance.
It was scrappy and was certainly the toughest test of Quigley’s pro career.
Hernandez dragged the contest into a real brawl during the middle rounds and there were some hand-on-mouth moments during those moments when the Mexican slugger asked questions.
But Quigley bit down and regained control during the final couple of rounds.
Quigley sustained a cut on the outside edge of his left eye while a clash of heads in the fifth had the blood seeping from Hernandez.
The two slugged it out for long spells before Quigley jabbed through the last round to secure his latest pro win.
Quigley saw a possible fight for the WBA world middleweight belt against title holder Ryota Murata taken away when the governing body ordered the Japanese fighter to meet mandatory challenger Rob Brant.
He arrived here ranked inside the top ten of both the WBC and WBA and will hope to have improved those rankings after a tough win.
