George Kambosos vs Vasiliy Lomachenko LIVE: Aussie boxer retires from the sport in disgust after being robbed by the judges

Hughes’s corner want her to use her feet more and move once she’s finished with her combinations.

She’s being stalked by Johnson, who doesn’t want to go backwards at all and keeps scoring with the jab, then a nice uppercut.

You get the feeling Johnson could really hurt Hughes if she lands a clean power shot.

‘Sugar Neekz’ Johnson has a reach advantage and it’s telling. Hughes is looking pretty sore about the face and she takes a good right to finish the round.

However, Johnson is cut around her right eye. Still her round, 10-9.

Porter gave the first to Johnson, saying he wasn’t impressed with Hughes’ work.

The British fighter picks up where she left off at the end of the first to start this round, but Johnson soon starts getting through with the jab. She looks far stronger physically than her opponent.

Hughes is having trouble getting through Johnson’s guard, which is very tight and strong.

She might be 41 years old but Nina Hughes is pouring it on to start this one. The reigning champion is going like it’s the last round and she’s behind on points.

However, hardly any of those shots are landing and Johnson – Kiwi by birth but representing Australia – is patient, covering up strongly and gets a shot through, followed by another.

Hughes is already marked up around her right eye and takes a counter shot from her opponent.

Giving that to Hughes 10-9 just due to her huge volume of work.

Here’s how the Aussie reacted to being shafted by the judges…

The former world champ says he’ll be going into that awful result in his podcast as he gives the judges a spray, saying too many of them nowadays don’t have the proper background in the sport to do their jobs properly.

‘He showed that he still has it all,’ Porter adds.

Aussie boxing is known for producing tough, come-ahead fighters who please crowds. And rightfully so.

Sadly, it’s also well known around the world for producing absolutely indefensible robberies when the judges’ cards are read out, and this so-called loss by Moloney is a prime example.

Commentator Peter Badel said he had it seven rounds to five for Moloney. He calls it a robbery and he’s right.

Porter again says the punch stats didn’t reflect what he saw and stands by his opinion that Moloney won it 10-2.

‘Why would you want to go through that again?’ he says of Moloney’s retirement.

He says Guevara’s bodywork wasn’t enough and he wasn’t in control of the fight. Good judges of boxing will agree with him.

Moloney couldn’t believe it. He’s by himself, gloves off, in a corner of the ring, in a deep state of shock.

He’s not the only one. That should’ve been a unanimous decision for the Aussie.

He’s said a rematch will be ‘no problem’ and Moloney surely deserves one here.

‘I felt in total control … I went into this fight with a torn bicep so I couldn’t throw the left hook … I’m done with this sport … I’m sorry but f**k that’.

The judges score it 115-113 Guevara, 116-113 Moloney, 113-115 Guevara…

‘He outworked Guervara on the outside and inside,’ Porter reckons.

Despite what the punch stats said, this should be the Aussie’s fight. Porter only had him dropping two rounds. Let’s see if the judges agree…

‘He’s desperate!’ is the call from the Aussie’s corner. By our card, he needs a stoppage to win this.

‘No risks!’ is the last message to Moloney before the bell.

Guevara hits Moloney off the break and the ref sees it.

Long combination from the Mexican but the punches are almost all taken on he gloves, and he wasn’t loading up.

Nice right counter from Moloney, short sot that hit flush on the jaw. Guevara replies, though, then takes a body shot .

Porter is happy with the Aussie moving in close now and tying his man up, which is smart fighting.

Jab lands for the Mexican. A left from the Aussie lands, gets hm off balance.

Moloney uses his feet to evade a combo, then they trade on the inside. Moloney takes one on the way in but no damage there.

Great exchange just before the bell but it’s another 10-9 to the Aussie, and this should be his fight.

The stats say Guevara has landed 125 body shots so far – and Porter says now is the time for him to make a move, because this is when those punches will tell.

Wild right hook misses for Moloney, who is back up on his toes, bouncing and making his man miss.

Guevara backs him into a corner but there’s a beautiful right hook counter from the Aussie.

This is better from the local lad. Just very slick stuff. Another clash of heads brings the ref into the fight – he’s done a great job so far, hasn’t overplayed the officiating at all.

Lead right lands for the Aussie. So does a left rip for the Mexican. A right gets through from Guevara right on the bell but he lost that one, 10-9 Moloney.

‘I don’t want any hooks!’ says Moloney’s trainer – who does want to see short rights straight down the middle.

He races out to meet Guevara to start the 10th and is showing more footwork here. He lands with a right-left but takes one in return.

Bodywork lands from the Mexican, but he takes that right counter again.

Good jab from Guevara rocks Moloney’s head back andhe’s stalking his man. But Moloney is listening to his corner now, bouncing and turning Guevara… but taking another left rip.

Moloney misses with a right, lands with a left hook.

Close round there, more punches from Moloney but harder shots from Guevara. 10-9 Guevara.

Jab, make angles, he’s slowing down – that’s the message from the corner as Moloney’s trainer tells him he’s looking ‘flamin’ beautiful’. Shawn Porter needs a translation.

Porter is still dumbfounded by the stats showing Guevara ha landed more shots.

Guevara gets under the jab and goes with a long combination, mostly downstairs. Moloney seems happy to sit in the pocket there – again, the opposite of what he’s been told to do.

Moloney takes a glancing hook to the head, but gets through with a double jab.

And another jab, nice and snappy, and another right.

Moloney lands, evades a one-two, but gets caught with a third punch. Bit of blood from his mouth now.

Moloney’s corner are warning him to turn his man and keep making angles. ‘We don’t want a dogfight!’

Moloney isn’t pressing the action to start this round, preferring to let Guevara make the pace, easily evading his shots and using his feet to stop him from getting inside.

Decent one-two from the Aussie, but a bit of snap has gone out of his punches. The stats still say Guevara has landed more punches… and as I write that, he gets through with an uppercut.

Moloney counters well but takes a body shot. He’s not listening to his corner, though – allowing himself to get into heavy exchanges on the inside.

A right lands for Moloney. Downstairs goes Guevara. Another very close one and the Aussie’s in a bit of a lull here.

‘You even one that one,’ says the Aussie’s trainer. Bit of a backhanded compliment there between rounds.

‘I haven’t seen a performance like this from Moloney, ever,’ says Porter, who is loving his performance.

Short left hook from Guevara lands, following on from another good punch. His power isn’t troubling Moloney, however, who doesn’t look too marked-up.

Moloney’s right lands, but so does a rip from the Mexican, who is turning up the pressure here.

Another rip lands. Moloney responds with a left hook. Far better round from Guevara, and even Porter is impressed.

Moloney’s corner weren’t happy with that round, warning him he doesn’t need to throw so many shots and leave himself open for punches like the one that landed flush late in the fifth.

The Aussie opens the distance and slows it down a bit after landing early in the sixth. Another counter right scores for him. Porter wants him to go to the body more often.

Guevara fighting outside more here, leading with the jab and an occasional right-hand lead, none of which troubles the Aussie.

More body work from the Mexican and he looks better when he goes downstairs – then cops a right to the chin.

Great exchange at the end of that one gets the crowd going.

Another close one, bit less action there, but it’s Moloney’s again, 10-9.

If Moloney keeps stacking up the rounds, Guevara could get desperate as he and his corner realise they’re getting to the point where they might need a stoppage to win.

Porter is reminding Moloney he can’t plant his feet.

The stats say Guevara is landing more punches, just shading the Aussie, and Porter is incredulous. And rightly so. He’s got Moloney winning all four rounds.

Great jab rocks the Mexican’s head back. He rushes Moloney back into the ropes but takes a short counter right and doesn’t land.

A good right snaps into Moloney’s head but he’s not hurt.

Clash of heads but there’s no cut. Guevara wasn’t happy with that.

Nice right hook from the local hope. He easily evades a right hand lead, lands a counter right, then two right hands – but takes a huge left uppercut that was Guevara’s best shot of the fight.

Still, Moloney 10-9 despite the late flurry from Guevara.

Porter is full of praise for Moloney’s footwork, but criticises Guevara for standing too straight and tall.

Yet again, the left rip from the Mexican. And again, he’s hit by the counter.

A looping hook to the head scores from Moloney. His right counter works again .

The Aussie takes a right to the head on his way in, but scores with two right-hand leads. Guevara is unruffled.

Better round from the Mexican but that’s another round he’s lost, Moloney 10-9.

The Aussie’s corner is happy again but want him to make some more angles when he feints.

Another good start from Moloney here and Porter believes the Mexican is falling into the trap of trying to fight from the outside, which is his opponent’s strength.

More body work from Guevara but he cops a counter right for it, and not for the first time. Good jab from Moloney, who looks very crisp.

Problem with those left rips is they add up as the fight goes on. Guevara and his camp fighting to a plan there.

A good right from Moloney rocks his man and he backs him into the ropes and hits him with a flurry. Great punch there, his best so far.

Moloney’s corner are very happy with the first round and have told their man not to back up after he comes in with his shots: ‘that’s just what he wants us to do’.

Guevara opens up to kick off the second but doesn’t land. The Mexican is dead keen on his left rips, even if it leaves him open to the right hand counter, which Moloney lands in the first minute here.

Jab from Guervara gets through. Moloney is closing the distance well.

Shawn Porter wants Guevara to keep going to the body and says he looks a little slow.

Both men exchange body shots, then Guevara lands a decent right after a lull in the action. Then a good body shot that sounded painful.

Much closer round and hard to score. We’ll go Guevara 10-9.

No touching of gloves to kick this off.

Moloney scores first with a right that doesn’t bother the Mexican. A few jabs to the body from the Aussie and they’re already clinching, neither wanting to give up the centre of the ring.

Bit of a low shot from Guevara but Moloney’s not bothered. He’s looking for rips to the body and gets one through. He almost lands a counter right.

Guevara goes to the body and gets a stiff jab for his trouble. Then another jab. Moloney is going downstairs with his right as well.

The Aussie is opening the exchanges for the most partbut nothing he’s landing appears to be leaving a mark.

One for the local hope, 10-9.

Wearing a top with the words ‘soldier of Christ’ and ‘Team Jesus’, he looks his usual calm and confident self.

Guevara is looking composed and confident on his ring walk and salutes the sold-out crowd as he gets into the ring.

Moloney comes out to Queen’s Another One Bites The Dust, smiling for the camera as he gets to the ring.

Commentator Ben Damon says it’s now or never for the 33-year-old…

Here’s what’s coming up…

Nina Hughes vs Cherneka Johnson (WBA bantamweight title)

Andrew Moloney vs Pedro Guevara (interim WBC super flyweight title)

Vasiliy Lomachenko vs George Kambosos Jr (IBF, IBO lightweight title)

‘Ferocious’ has rocked up with his wife Rebecca. He looked completely locked in, making the sign of the cross as he entered the building, his father George Senior just behind him.

Imam Khataev has blasted Ricards Bolotniks with a TKO win in round six, finishing the bout with a right hook that landed to the kidney and dropped his opponent, who claimed he’d been illegally hit in the back.

He survived the count, only to get hit in the same spot almost straight away. How he got up from that is anyone’s guess, but Khataev went straight back to the kidney shot and that was all she wrote.

First the fighters had a stare-down that went for more than three minutes on Thursday, with even former Aussie heavyweight champ Lucas Browne unable to separate them – then they went for even longer when they locked eyes at the weigh-in yesterday.

Hello and thanks for joining us as George Kambosos attemps to resurrect his career by taking on ring legend Vasiliy Lomachenko for the IBF and IBO world lightweight titles at Perth’s RAC Arena.

We’ll be bringing you round-by-round updates from today’s card, as well as all the latest updates and reactions as Kambo tries to recapture the form that took him to his famous underdog win over Teofimo Lopez in November 2021.
