Who won the boxing fight tonight (22nd July, 2023)? George Kambosos Jr. vs. Maxi Hughes results 

Former boxing lightweight champion George Kambosos Jr. was back in action last night against Maxi Hughes. Having suffered back-to-back losses at the hands of Devin Haney, Kambosos Jr. was determined to walk away with a victory in this fight.

That is exactly what happened as the former unified champion secured a majority decision victory (114-114, 117-111, and 115-113). However, it hasn't come without its fair share of controversy.

The fight turned out to be a lot closer than expected and despite winning the bout, George Kambosos Jr. was seen struggling to find his feet inside the squared circle. Moreover, the output from both fighters was not high, both Kambosos Jr. and Hughes threw a low amount of punches and connected with a few.

While the judges were given a rather close fight to score, it was Maxi Hughes who looked like the more dominant fighter and the result seems to have disappointed a lot of people.
