Sam Goodman kept his chances of a crack at the undisputed super bantamweight title alive with a unanimous decision victory (117-111, 117-113, 119-109) over Chainoi Worawut in Wollongong on Wednesday night.
Fighting in front of his hometown fans, Goodman turned back the challenge of the ultra-game Worawut to ensure he remains in the box seat to face pound-for-pound king Naoya Inoue later in the year.
Goodman fought through a suspected broken left hand, which could throw a spanner in the works for his Inoue plans, as well as some dangerous offence from his opponent to get the win.

In the co-main event, Curtis Scott has knocked Barry Hall out in the first round to improve to 3-0 as a professional.
The cross-code showdown lasted just over a minute, with Scott's aggression proving too much for the 47-year-old former AFL star.
From the opening bell, Scott, 26, was in Hall's face and a left hand seemed to do the damage before a right hand wobbled "Big Bad Barry" shortly after, eventually sending him to the canvas.
Hall attempted to struggle to his feet but the referee waved off the bout as the big man's corner jumped into the ring to stop it.
With 2 first-round knockout defeats and a draw with Paul Gallen five years ago, it might be time for Hall, a former talented junior, to leave boxing behind.
As for Scott, he said he's already raring to get back in there, targeting a potential fight Sonny Bill Williams.
