Yasuhiro Suzuki comeback stuns Mehdi Khalsi

Japan's Yasuhiro Suzuki makes a comeback to stun Morocco's Mehdi Khalsi in the final bout of the evening session.

The final welterweight bout of the evening has ended with Japan's Yasuhiro Suzuki spectacularly defeating Mehdi Khalsi of Morocco.

Khalsi came forward with his guard high up, while Suzuki seemed content to box off the back foot in the first round.

The Japan fighter seemed to be landing the better shots as the judges scored the fight evenly at 5-5.

Khalsi picked his shots more carefully in the second, while soaking up most of Suzuki's punches with a tight defence.

Suzuki trailed by one point heading into the third round and the Moroccan took a more measured approach as he started to tire.

Khalsi desperately launched forward with a left hand in an attempt to preserve his slender lead, but was picked off as he came within range.

It was Suzuki who was finishing the stronger and the judges agreed, handing him a 14-13 victory.
