Sometimes a fight that looks good on paper turns out to be a dud. That was the case Saturday when undefeated Mario Barrios of San Antonio took on Devis Boschiero of Italy in the 12-round super featherweight main event at Sun National Bank Center in Trenton, N.J.

The two gave fans 11 rounds of boredom before Barrios finally gave them something to shout about when he decked Boschiero in the final round.

Barrios (16-0) won by three scores of 120-107, but the booing throughout the bout seemed warranted as there was little in the way of real exchanges.

Boschiero (39-5-1) entered ranked No. 8 by one organization, the same of which had Barrios No. 12.

Barrios blamed Boschiero for the boring nature of the fight.

“It was pretty frustrating,” Barrios said. “I came out to put on a show for the fans and, unfortunately, it seemed like my opponent was just trying to survive. I can try to press the fight all I want, but if he doesn’t want to fight it’s not going to happen.”
