Spain's Javier Castillejo retained his WBC superwelter-weight crown late Saturday with an unanimous points decision over American challenger Tony Marshall. 

After 12 rounds in the Leganes Arena the three judges came down hard on Castillejo's side, awarding him the contest 118-110, 116-115 and 117-112. 

This was the Spaniard's fourth successful defense of a title he took a year and a half ago from Marshall's compatriot Keith Mullings – (AFP)
