Shakur Stevenson cruised through Artem Harutyunyan to defend his WBC lightweight title on Saturday. But, the undefeated boxer’s performance likely won’t silence critics who were looking for a more emphatic victory or finish.

Stevenson faced Harutyunyan in Newark, New Jersey and worked his way to a unanimous decision victory with scores of 119-109, 118-110, 116-112. With the victory, Stevenson moved his overall record to 22-0 (10 knockouts).

The fight was the 27-year-old’s last on his Top Rank Boxing contract.

Harutyunyan, who was coming off a decision loss to Frank Martin, saw his record fall to 12-2.
