In a one sided performance, the WBO super middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders defeated Martin Murray to a 12 round unanimous decision at the Wembley Arena, London. The judges’ scorecards were 120-109, 120-109 and 188-110.

Murray was game and gave his all but not enough against a slick and skilled Billy Joe Saunders.
