Selby retains IBF title

Welsh fighter Lee Selby retained his International Boxing Federation featherweight crown on Wednesday with a unanimous decision over former three-division champion Fernando Montiel in a 12-round fight.

Selby, who improved to 22-1 with eight knockouts, won on all three judges’ scorecards, 119-109, 118-110 and 116-112 at the Gila River Arena in Phoenix, Arizona. Montiel, who dropped to 54-5-2 with 39 knockouts, cut Selby over the right eye in the sixth round. But the bigger Selby was able to outbox and outsmart Mexico’s Montiel throughout much of the fight.
