Timothy Bradley retained his WBO junior welterweight championship with a third-round TKO against former unified lightweight champ Nate Campbell.
Bradley (25-0, 12 KOs) was controlling the fight, and an accidental head butt in the third round cut Campbell over his left eye. Following the round, Campbell (33-6-1, 25 KOs) claimed he could not see out of the eye, and the referee awarded the fight to Bradley.
Campbell protested that the fight should have been a no-decision.
In another bout with an unbeaten fighter, Devon Alexander claimed the vacant WBC junior welterweight title after forcing Junior Witter to quit after eight rounds. Alexander (19-0, 12 KOs) controlled the fight throughout the match until Witter (37-3-2, 22 KOs) quit after being down 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73 from the three judges.
