Scores:
UD 118-109; 118-110; 119-110 for John Thaxton. This means an awful lot to him, there's tears of joy there, he is delighted, it's good to see a champion where it means everything to him. He looked better, prepared well, had the tactics and deserves that Lonsdale belt, and it'll be very difficult for someone to tear that off him.
