The judges score the fight 99-91, 97-93, 98-92 all in favour of Paul.

Paul shushes the crowd and raises his arm. That’s his 12th professional win.

‘You have to knock him out!’ That’s the advice from Chavez Jr’s corner.

That’s a big ask in only three minutes. Paul sticks to his gameplan of jab and body shot.

Chavez has Paul on the backfoot but he weaves off the ropes and throws a combination to stop that attack.

Twice Chavez pins Paul with that left jab and gets a right to hit the head.

Another big left hook lands right at the end of the round but Paul hangs on.

Chavez takes the round but his best work came way too late.
