Review: 2011-08-13, very exciting fight between Abner Mares (21-0-1) and “King Kong” Joseph Agbeko (28-2-0), final of the Showtime bantamweight tournament. In the first round Agbeko went down and the referee counted him but the replay shows that it was a slip, then the fight went on with a high pace but the referee Russell Mora continued to commit several mistakes. In fact Mares threw a number of low blows throughout the fight but Mora did not take a point to the Mexican, moreover in the eleventh round the referee counted Joseph Agbeko a second time, but it was a low blow! The fight was close but the majority decision of the judges would have not been without Mora’s mistakes. The fight Agbeko vs Mares was valid for the IBF and WBC Silver bantamweight titles.

2011 BOXING fight – David Tua vs Monte Barrett 2 – Video full fight
Review: 2011-08-13, we do not understand why David Tua woke up and started to fight just in the last rounds. In fact Tua knocked down Monte Barrett in the twelfth round but Barrett survived and won deservedly the fight by unanimous decision. As the first match (ended in a draw) this second fight between David Tua and Monte Barrett was valid for the WBO Asia Pacific and WBO Oriental heavyweight titles. Watch the video!

Review: 2010-10-16, very nice fight between Wilfredo Vazquez Jr (19-0-1) and Ivan Hernandez (28-4-1). Vazquez Jr had won the WBO super bantamweight title at the beginning of 2010 versus Marvin Sonsona and after beating Zsolt Bedak at his first defense, he faced Hernandez (at his third attempt to win a world title in the super bantamweight division). Wilfredo Vazquez Jr defeated Ivan Hernandez by TKO after eleven rounds fought at high pace (especially the tenth was one of the best rounds of the year). Watch the video!

Wanchannoi Sithuubon defeated Kingsan Gor Saklampoon by unanimous decision. Watch the video!
2010 BOXING fight – David Lemieux vs Hector Camacho Jr – full fight Video
Review: 2010-10-29, we had rated this fight four stars but after watching it again, thanks to the comment of “mattsnow81″, we have changed our rating in three (on February 6, 2015): the finish was good but not as spectacular as in other four-stars-fights.
The undefeated David Lemieux entered this fight with a perfect boxing record of 23-0-0 (22 KOs=95%) while his opponent, Hector Camacho Jr, had a record of 52-3-1 (28 knockouts). Lemieux vs Camacho Jr was valid for the WBC International middleweight title that the Canadian won in his previous fight against Elvin Ayala knocking him out in just one round. Watch the video!
2011 K-1 MUAY THAI fight – Fabio Pinca vs Yuya Yamato 2 – Video Thai Fight Extreme
Review: 2011-08-07, in this second fight Fabio Pinca defeated Yuya Yamato by unanimous decision but the fight was quite boring: one star. In the first match, Thai Fight Extreme France (2011-05-14), Pinca had lost against Yuya Yamato by TKO (elbow-cut). Watch the video!
