A game Dennis ?The Scorpion? Tubieron showed no real sting in his punches and lost a one-sided twelve round decision to Britain?s undefeated Josh Warrington who earned a world title shot with his victory in a title eliminator in which Warrington grabbed the WBC International featherweight title before some 10,000 ecstatic hometown fans in Leeds.
All three judges turned in identical scorecards of 119-109 which meant they gave Tubieron only one round.
Sky Sports in its blow by blow account said Warrington who started aggressively, looked bigger, stronger and sharper and connected with some crisp punches capped by a cracking left-right combination to the body and then to the temple that set the tone early in the fight although Tubieron sneaked in two uppercuts.
Warrington continued to wear down Tubieron with solid body shots and when the British fighter connected with a big right hand that sent Tubieron stumbling into the ropes before landing a flurry of punches, somehow Tubieron stayed on his feet and was not helped by a timekeeper?s error which seemed to add on an extra 30 seconds.
The Leeds fans were in good spirits and a rare stoppage as a ball balloons into the ring while Tubieron looked weary at the end of the fifth.
Warrington lands an uppercut to start round six and he traps Tubieron in a corner and again bombards him with left-right-lefts to the body and then to the head in the process sending Tubieron?s mouthguard flying out.
Warrington was relentless and continued to hunt down the Filipino southpaw who appeared weary and unable to fight back except with an occasional lunging shot before Tubieron went down in the final round but it was a slip caused by his weariness.
When the bell sounded at the end of the round both men embraced while the fans gave Tubieron a round of applause for simply surviving the onslaught.
