Northern Ireland's Brian Magee easily outpointed Jaime Barboza to capture the fringe interim WBA super-middleweight crown in San Jose, Costa Rica.

Magee dominated the little-known Barboza, a career light-middleweight, using his jab and body shots to control the action.

It was Magee's first fight since losing to IBF title-holder Lucian Bute in Montreal in March.

Magee, 36, could now land a second shot at a world title.
