Bruce Carrington (16-0, 9 KOs) used his boxing skills to defeat the heavy-handed Mateus Heita (14-1, 9 KOs), winning a wide 12-round unanimous decision to win the WBC interim featherweight title on Saturday night at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York City.

Carrington, 28, thought better than to brawl with the more powerful Heita, and chose to stick and move all night. It worked perfectly with winning a wide decision by the scores 119-109, 119-109, and 120-108.
Heita landed well when Carrington stopped moving, but he didn’t have enough opportunities.
All of Top Rank’s fighters have won tonight, which says a lot about the matchmaking being done. No drama. Not one upset. Carrington should have been in with a better fighter than Heita, who was picked from near the bottom of the rankings to be the B-side opponent tonight.
