Sims had moments of his own, including a slight knockdown in the fifth round and a clean right hand at the end of the sixth. Barboza continued to find success with lead right hands that began to produce swelling under Sims’ right eye.
Barboza remained in control through the seventh and eighth rounds, keeping Sims on the defensive. Sims struggled to slow down in the ninth and tenth rounds as Barboza continued to land right hands.
In the eleventh round, a clash of heads split open Barboza’s right eyebrow. Sims has appeared to benefit since then and may have taken the cycle. Barboza finished strong in the twelfth, raising his hands in celebration as the final seconds ticked away.
The judges scored 117-111, 118-110, and 120-108 in favor of Barboza.
