Denzel Bentley won a 10-round unanimous decision over Shane Mosley Jr in the main event at London’s Copper Box Arena, with all three judges scoring the fight 96-93, 95-94 and 96-94 for the British middleweight, Boxing Web reported. The bout headlined a Zuffa Boxing card in the Hackney Wick neighborhood on Nov. 7, and it was one of six fights on the bill — four of which ended inside the distance.
Bentley, with a record of 23-3-1, was knocked… rather, Mosley Jr, 23-6, was counted in the second round after a hard shot from the Briton, but the American recovered and pushed Bentley hard through the middle rounds before Bentley’s constant pressure and heavier shots in the final rounds swayed the judges.
