Wright, sensing that Welliver was struggling, targeted the hand of Welliver until he was forced to retire from the bout.
It wasn't a great bout by any stretch of the imagination. A 49 year old Wright and an out of shape Welliver were never going to give us a classic, though the bigger problem is that Welliver no longer seems to be bothered. This was the Australian's 3rd loss in 5 fights and it sees Wright claiming the WBC Asian Boxing Council Heavyweight title as a result.
