We're now on to day three of the WBC Boxing Grand Prix in Riyadh and it's the middleweight division's turn to light up the BLVD City Global Theater.

The opening day saw the featherweights go at it and on day two, 32 junior-welterweights put it all on the line in an effort to reach the next round.

As per competition rules, there are no draws and any fights scored even after six then go to a qualitative scoring system to determine who proceeds to the next stage of the Grand Prix.

It wasn't to be for Liverpudlian Sean Arkwright as he lost to Mexican Jose Ramon Montes in the final fight of the night. The scores read 60-54, 59-55, 69-55 in favour of Roman, whose experienced shone through across six tough rounds for Arkwright. Montes UD6

A routine victory for Sinisterra, who won 60-53 on all three scorecards. The Colombian also scored a knockdown in the opening round, but Wang toughed things out right to the very end. Sinisterra UD6.

Mexican Aguillon had his hand raised after six fairly close rounds of action. The scores read 58-53, 57-54, 57-54 in favour of Aguillon but the real story of the fight came when Herzheni had three points deducted in round five and six, respectively, two of which came in the final round for head-butting. Aguillon UD6.

Uzbekh Kayimov came into the bout with amateur pedigree but was beaten by the more experienced pro in Frenchman Ephrem Bariko. Each judge scored the fight 59-55 after six entertaining rounds of action in which both men landed big shots. Bariko UD6.

A very comfortable win for Canadian Pomerleau, who was dominant with his jab and power combinations throughout, winning on the cards with scores of 59-55, 60-54, 60-54. Pomerleau UD6.

Biggs, a former opponent of Nikita Tszyu, proved to be far too experienced for Brit Azeem, beating him by unanimous decision with scores of 60-54, 58-55, 58-55. Biggs used his size and front-foot pressure to great affect, landing the crisper shots throughout. Biggs UD6.

A one-sided beatdown from Issa, who leaves Ahan's face a bloody mess after just two rounds, before dropping him in the third and inflicting more damage in the fourth. Ahan failed to come out for the fifth. Issa RTD4.

The first use of the advanced scoring system is needed as Rybalko beats Grant by unanimous decision. After a tight contest finished a draw with scores of 58-56 Rybalko, 57-57 twice, the enhanced scores came into play and read 4-3, 7-5, 5-3 to the Ukrainian. Rybalko UD6.

French Proton beats decorated Kazakh amateur Rayis via split decision after a close, back-and-forth contest. 58-55 to Rayis, 57-56 to Proton, 59-55 to Proton were the scores. Proton SD.

The most lopsided win of the day yet. An easy victory for Ukrainian Frolov, who won every round and nabbed scores of 60-53 with each of the three judges after Ienci had a point taken in the final round. Frolov UD6.

Ciril Johnson Suffo gets the edge on the cards with scores of 57-54, 56-55, 56-55. The fight was a wild one, with both men hurt on numerous occasions, particularly Velasquez, who went down in the first round. Suffo also had two points deducted but did enough to grab the win. Suffo UD6.

Ukranian Moldan gets the decision win over Italian Sarchioto with scores of 57-57, 58-56, 58-56. Moldan started the better of the two and despite Sarchioto working his way back into proceedings, it wasn't enough to turn the tide. Moldan MD6.

Torres picks up the win after stopping his opponent in the final round of the contest. The fight was fairly even for the first four rounds but the tide turned when Torres scored a fifth-round knockdown before getting the stoppage in the sixth. Torres TKO6.

A comprehensive victory for Irishman Ryan, who knocked El Abid down with a beautiful left hand in the third, before downing his man twice more in the fourth. El Abid ultimately toughed it out until the end of the fight but the judges scored things 59-52, 59-52, 58-53. Ryan UD6.

A stunning finish to the opening fight as Morales, who had been knocked down in the second round and was behind in the contest, pulls out the stoppage with 45 seconds left after a flurry of head-snapping shots in the corner. Morales TKO6.
