Gustavo Lemos left everything against Richardson Hitchins in Las Vegas but lost on points in a controversial ruling. In another of the evening's fights, the Buenos Aires native Gauto lost by technical knockout against the British Yafai, who retained the WBC international flyweight title.
Lemos was the only one who seemed determined to take the victory at the Bleaulive Theater of the Fontainebleau Hotel, where not only the super lightweight ranking of the International Boxing Federation (IBF) was at stake.
