Sean McComb was left reeling after a controversial defeat in the early hours of Sunday morning in New York, losing via split-decision.
However, two judges scored the bout 96-94 and 97-93 to Barboza, while the other favoured McComb with a score of 98-92. Promoter Eddie Hearn voiced his disbelief at the disparity in the scorecards, stating it made "absolutely no sense at all". Fellow Belfast boxer Caoimhin Agyarko echoed this sentiment, branding it "one of the worst decisions" he's ever witnessed in boxing. Throughout the ten-round contest, Barboza appeared to struggle with McComb's style, with the southpaw causing the defending champion significant trouble - clearly visible on the 32 year old's face by the end of the fight.
