Masoud upsets Davies to win by split decision.

Shabaz Masoud upset world-ranked Liam Davies at the BP Pulse Arena in Birmingham on Saturday 2nd  November. Masoud lateral movement and footwork proved too much for Davies, who was frustrated throughout the twelve rounds. Masoud took victory by scores of 116-112, 115-113, and a shocking card in Davies' favour, 115-113, which left everyone perplexed at ringside, but thankfully, the right man won, and Masoud claimed the IBO super-bantamweight title. 

Masoud was dominant throughout the contest, with the flashier work, and nullified Davies in the first part of the fight. Davies had his best round in the sixth, with pressure and sustained aggression. Masoud boxing and IQ on the night were the keys to victory. 

Masoud had defeated Davies twice as an amateur, continued his unbeaten record to fourteen, and gave Matchroom Boxing and Eddie Hearn bragging rights over Frank Warrens Queensbury Promotions.
