Manuel Medina proved too quick for Harrison Pictures from the fight

Mexican Manuel Medina shocked Scott Harrison to claim a record fifth world featherweight title on points.

Harrison, tipped by many to become one of the world's top fighters, lost on a split decision after a ruthless display from his 32-year-old opponent who was in his 75th bout.

Despite Medina's dominance, one of the judges controversially ruled in Harrison's favour.

Medina was scored 118-113 and 116-112 by two judges but the third judge gave Harrison the verdict, 115-113.

I will definitely get the title back Scott Harrison

A shell-shocked Harrison said: "I feel devastated. Being world champion is all I dreamed about so to lose it is devastating.

"I just need to get back into training again and rip the title back off him.

"I'll go and look at the tape of the fight and see what I did wrong and see where I went right and put it together and then we will have a re-match.

"But I'll tell you, I will definitely get the title back."

The Scot began the contest cautiously, struggling to come to terms with Medina's height and speed in a ponderous opening round.

There were signs of encouragement for the Scottish fighter in the second round - his left jab catching the Mexican out on a number of occasions.

A thumping left hook stunned Medina in the third but the lively Mexican thundered back to win the fourth round.

Medina had Harrison's corner concerned in the fifth, landing far more punches, including a big right which gave the Scot plenty to think about.

But Harrison's power had Medina on the ropes in the seventh thanks to a solid left and right combination.

A fresh looking Medina battled back in the eighth, with the Scot struggling to land any big punches and beaten on too many occasions by Medina's jab.

Harrison, who was rumoured to be struggling to make the weight, lacked the spark of previous bouts and looked exhausted going into the final few rounds.

His lack of fitness was evident by the 10th when he was desperately trying to find a knock-out punch to compensate for his three-round deficit.

The Scot landed a crushing right hand in the 11th but the unshakeable Mexican just brushed it aside and deservedly took Harrison's crown.

Arthur crushes Limond

"Amazing" Alex Arthur lived up his nickname and reputation with a stunning eighth-round stoppage of Glasgow's Willie Limond.

The win, which means Arthur retains his British super-featherweight crown, ensured he kept his undefeated record intact.

The end was within sight as blood began to poor from the nose of Limond in round six.

And Arthur went in for the kill in round eight and a wicked right upper-cut and right over the top shocked Limond again.

After two fierce rights to the head, the referee stepped in to come to the challenger's rescue, confirming Arthur's win and his best performance to date.
