George Kambosos def. Maxi Hughes via majority decision (114-114 117-111 115-113) 

Hughes was the busier fighter throughout the 12 rounds but the scorecards perhaps didn't reflect his performance, and while Kambosos' aggression and pressure failed to translate to any major damage, he improved his record to 21-2 with a hard-fought victory.
