Clay Wilson: Newstalk ZB sport news director on Mea Motu losing to Ellie Scotney in world title unification fight

Mea Motu’s reign as the IBO super-bantamweight world champion has ended, with England’s Ellie Scotney leaving their bout in Nottingham as the unified world champion. Scotney proved to be too slick for her Kiwi counterpart with four belts on the line, using her movement and speed to bank rounds en route to a lopsided decision. While Motu had success at moments during the fight, Scotney was able to score more in the eyes of the judges – with all three judges scoring the bout 99-91, or nine rounds to one, in Scotney’s favour. Newstalk ZB sport news director Clay Wilson says Motu will likely be disappointed with this outcome - but it's an honour for her to hold her own in this fight.
