Robles Wins Vacant IBO World Title
After 12 Thrilling Rounds With McGregor
Erik Robles became the new IBO world super bantamweight
champion after defeating Lee McGregor in a Fight of the Year
contender.
Mexico's Robles won 116-113, 115-113 and 115-113 on the
judges' scorecards at the Meadowbank Sports Centre, in
Edinburgh on an emotionally-charged night at the Wasserman
Boxing show, in association with Ladbrokes, Numan and
Infinitum Entertainment.
The world title showdown, in front of McGregor's passionate
home fans, ebbed and flowed with both men refusing to take a
backwards step, in a contest that will rank as one of the
best seen in a British ring this year.
And it was Robles who got the nod after a pulsating 36
minutes of action, to leave McGregor heartbroken.
