Claressa Shields defeated late replacement Maricela Cornejo by a shutout decision in a 10-round bout to retain her undisputed 160-pound championship.

The officials scores were 100-89, 100-90 and 100-90. Boxing Junkie also had it 100-90, 10 rounds to none.

Shields (14-0, 2 KOs) tried to score a rare knockout from the beginning, stalking Cornejo (16-6, 6 KOs) and throwing single bomb after single bomb. Many the shots landed but none hurt the durable challenger.

Cornejo managed to land a few shots but spent most of her energy to trying to avoid Shields’ hard, accurate punches.

A full report will follow shortly.

Junior middleweight prospect Ardreal Holmes (14-0, 5 KOs) defeated Wendy Touissant (14-2, 6 KOs) by a technical split decision in a cut-shortened bout.

Holmes got off to a strong start only to see Touissant outwork him more and more as the scheduled 10-rounder progressed.

However, in the eighth round, an accidental clash of heads caused a cut on the forehead of Touissant that ultimately prompted the referee to stop the fight at 1:54 of Round 8 and send it to the scorecards.

Two judges scored it Holmes (77-74 and 76-75) while the third had Toussaint winning (77-74). The partial eighth round was included in the scoring.

Toussaint lost a point in the fourth round for punching behind the head.
