Review: 2011-09-17, after the first two rounds won by Tyson Fury, in the third Firtha almost knocks down him but Fury survives and in the next round sends to the canvas his opponent. Unfortunately the referee stops the fight in the fifth: pleasant fight but it is not enough for our three stars. Tyson Fury (15-0-0) entered as the No.10 heavyweight in the world while Nicolai Firtha (20-8-1) entered as the No.70. Watch the video!
Review: 2011-09-17, in the first round Saul “Canelo” Alvarez knocks down Gomez but from the second round the fight become very balanced.

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!

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).

Review: 2010-07-10, the undefeated Juan Manuel Lopez (28-0-0) had just won the WBO featherweight title in his previous fight (against Steven Luevano) and at his first defense he faced the Filipino Bernabe Concepcion (28-3-1). In the first round Lopez knocks down Concepcion and tries to end the fight but in the last seconds of the round Bernabe surprises him and Lopez goes down! In the second “Juanma” Lopez knocks down Concepcion two times and the referee stops the fight. With four knockdowns in two rounds and the “Ring Magazine Round of the Year” (the first one) the fight Lopez vs Concepcion enters our rankings as one of the best boxing fights of 2010. Watch the video!
Review: 2011-09-15, after a first tactical round, during the second Jhonny Gonzalez picks up the pace and strikes Rogers Mtagwa with accurate punches and the referee stops the fight.
