Plenty of fight left in McCullough

WAYNE McCULLOUGH has vowed to pursue his dream of a second world title despite defeat at the hands of WBC super-bantamweight champion Oscar Larios.

In the early hours of yesterday morning in California, Mexican Larios retained his title with a unanimous points decision over 34-year-old McCullough, with the judges offering wide margins of 118-109, 118-110 and 116-11.

McCullough felt the scoring was “way off” - as did many at ringside - after 12 hard rounds in which the initiative often fluctuated.
