Review: 2011-09-17, in the first round Saul “Canelo” Alvarez knocks down Gomez but from the second round the fight become very balanced. In fact at the beginning of the sixth Lederman scores a draw (47-47) but in the same round, during a nice and powerful combination of Alvarez, the referee stops the fight (probably too quickly). Saul Alvarez defeated Alfonso Gomez by TKO defending his WBC light middleweight title. Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (37-0-1) entered as the No.4 light middleweight in the world while Alfonso Gomez (23-4-2) entered as the No.13. Watch the video!

Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Victor Ortiz full fight Video – 2011
Review: 2011-09-17, 2011-09-17, after three tactical rounds in the fourth Floyd Mayweather Jr and Victor Ortiz start the action…When Ortiz was forcing Mayweather against the ropes he also headbutts Floyd, Ortiz immediately apologizes but the referee deducted one point to him. But when the fight restarts and the two boxers were embracing Floyd Mayweather Jr strikes Victor Ortiz and knocks him out! At that moment Joe Cortez was not looking the two fighters and “Mayweather vs Ortiz” ends with the victory of “Pretty Boy” by KO winning also the WBC welterweight title. This is not the action that we like and this is not the “Sweet Science” of boxing: 2 stars. Victor Ortiz (29-2-2) entered as the No.3 welterweight in the world while Floyd Mayweather Jr (41-0-0) was not ranked before this fight (as he did not fight since May 5, 2010 against Shane Mosley).
