Ellie Scotney: Briton retains IBF super-bantamweight world title against Laura Soledad Griffa
The Catford fighter continued her dominance, outmanoeuvring Griffa and working the body as the challenger came forward recklessly.
Griffa attempted to smother her opponent's work but Scotney was wise to it, controlling the distance and landing from range.
She landed a terrific left in the fifth, the punch of the night. With the away fighter hurt, Scotney smiled and stepped up her attack.
But the champion became frustrated by Griffa, who was clinching and enjoying moments of success in the latter rounds, as both women landed in the 10th.
It was a tough test passed by Scotney, who will fancy her chances to clean up the super-bantamweight division in quick time, with the remaining world titles held by beatable champions.
Venezuelan Mayerlin Rivas is the WBA champion, Mexico's Yamileth Mercado holds the WBC title and Argentine Debora Dionicius the WBO belt. Scotney will fancy beating all three.
