Jack outpoints Dirrell for belt
BADOU Jack outpointed Anthony Dirrell at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago on Friday to take the WBC super-middleweight title.
Two judges scored 116-112 and 115-113 for Jack (19-1-1) , and the third had it even at 114-114. Jack, the Las Vegas-based Swede who fights under the banner of Floyd Mayweather Jr’s promotion company, connected with a big one-two combination in the ninth round and forced the fight inside on a tiring Dirrell (27-1-1). The 31-year-old Jack has won three straight fights after being stopped in the first round by Derek Edwards in 2014. The 30-year-old Dirrell, from Flint, Michigan, won the title in August with a tough decision over veteran Sakio Bika.
