Even though Jack held a technical edge and boxed well throughout, his power punching turned out to be the difference late. After scoring knockdowns in Rounds 4 and 11, Jack closed the show in the final round by hurting Makabu with power shots before referee Mark Lyson jumped in at 54 seconds with Makabu pinned to the ropes.

Badou Jack caused a mini-upset by stopping Junior Makabu in the final round of a brilliant fight to become the new WBC cruiserweight champion.
