In a closely contested IBF World Super Lightweight Final Eliminator held in Las Vegas and broadcast live on DAZN, Richardson Hitchins emerged victorious over Gustavo Lemos. The fight, which was the main event of the evening, saw Hitchins winning by decision, with scores of 115-113 on two cards, a wider margin of 117-111 on the third, and one analyst scoring it 114-114, reflecting the tight nature of the bout. This victory sets Hitchins up as the mandatory challenger for the IBF 140lb title currently held by Subriel Matias. The undercard featured notable performances, including Diego Pacheco's decision win over Shawn McCalman, marking Pacheco's first time going the ten-round distance with scores of 98-92, 97-93, and 96-94. Galal Yafai also made headlines with an eighth-round stoppage of Agustin Gauto, defending his WBC International Flyweight Title. The event was significant not only for the action inside the ring but also as the first-ever live sporting event hosted at the newly inaugurated venue in Las Vegas.

117-111 too wide, but I like the 115-113 cards. Hitchins was able to blunt Lemosโ offense and sharp shoot enough in the middle of the fight to pull it out. Underdog against Matiasโฆ.Lopez and Haney. #HitchensLemos #HitchinsLemos
Heck of a fight. I have it 114-114 with Lemos winning rd 12. #boxing #HutchinsLemos

Thru 10 I have it 96-94 Hitchins. Rugged fitght, rough fight, close. #boxing #HitchinsLemos
Great 10th round, Hitchins closed really strong and his pinpoint, fast punches lit Lemos up down the stretch. Good job holding his inside with the bigger puncher, by getting off those quick, compact shots on the inside. Showing he can mix it up a bit. #HitchensLemos

What a round! Anyones fight!!! @DAZNBoxing #HitchinsLemos
58-56 Hitchins. Lemos applying pressure and clubbing Hitchins occasionally with some looping right hands, but Hitchins has good poise, is VERY sharp with his speed and he's comfortable now. #HitchinsLemos
Hitchins has settled down and looking good past couple of rounds. have him up 48-47. #boxing #HitchinsLemos
All of a sudden Hitchins goes from looking uncomfortable to coming alive in the 4th. Beautiful sequence in the center of the ring, sharp shots picking Lemos off. Hitchins shooting on the inside, knocking the sweat off Lemos w/ the right hand. 38-38. #HitchinsLemos
We're only in rd 3 and tons of holding from Hitchins. #boxing #HitchinsLemos

I hard Hitchins win the 1st rd. But heโs going to have to bite down and fight Lemos. Heโs not occupying Lemos enough from the outside
Argentinians show up unannounced to America to WIN, not give it a good go. Lemos buckled Hitchins in round 2 with a right hand. Hitchins landing a sharp, laser jab but not the right hand behind it. Lemos applying good pressure. 19-19. #HitchensLemos

I think that was 7-3 or 8-2 for Pacheco. The second of the fight McCalman did much more spoiling than trying to win rounds. Either way that said, Pacheco needed a few rounds to make adjustments tonight. He did make them, but he was flustered by McCalmsnโs style

Pacheco winning a messy fight. McCallman constant holding past few rounds. #boxing #PachecoMcCalman
I think Pacheco has controlled the last few rounds of the fight after a sluggish start. McCalman has done better than expected, but I donโt think heโs winning the fight at this point.
