Review: 2011-04-02, great start with both fighters went to the canvas, but the fight goes on and it becomes a real war: four stars for the spectacular fight between Hernan “Tyson” Marquez and Luis “El Nica” Concepcion; unfortunately the pace slows down a little bit between the sixth and ninth round, if not it could be a candidate for Fight of the Year 2011. Hernan Marquez entered the fight with a record of 29-2-0 while Luis Concepcion had a record of 22-1-0. Marquez vs Concepcion is valid for the WBA World flyweight title. Watch the video!

Review: Vic Darchinyan, although he belonged to the flyweight division (now bantamweight), is a spectacular boxer since he always seeks the Ko, as well as the fight with Irene Pacheco. Both boxers were undefeated in 2004 and for Darchinyan this was also the first fight in the U.S.A., but Pacheco was the man to beat, since he was the holder of the IBF flyweight title by more than 5 years. Watch the video!
Review: the first aim of Vitali Klitschko in the fight versus Corrie Sanders was not to win the vacant WBC heavyweight title, but to avenge his brother, since in 2003 Wladimir lost by Ko against Sanders. Both boxers had a similar record: 33-2-0 for Klitschko, 39-2-0 for Sanders, but the South African boxer had fought with lower level opponents… Watch the video!
Review: the third fight between Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales was the fight of the year of 2004 (Ring Magazine) and one of our favorites. They had won once each, the first fight won by Morales (fight of the year of 2000) and the second one by Barrera. The “Baby Faced Assassin” Barrera was at his first fight in the super featherweight division and wanted to snatch Morales WBC title. Marco Antonio Barrera vs Erik Morales 3 was a real war, this is boxing! Watch the video!
Review: Mike Tyson was one of the most spectacular boxer ever, and his fighting were always exciting, even when he faced Danny Williams… Tyson was 38 years old, he didn’t fight for almost a year and a half and probably underestimated Williams, boxer who had never fought for a world title but was younger than seven years, was an advantage for height, weight and reach. Mike Tyson vs Danny Williams was the penultimate fight of Iron Mike. Watch the video!
Review: 7th August 2004, Acelino “Popo” Freitas defended his WBO lightweight title (won against Artur Grigorian a few months earlier) versus Diego “Chico” Corrales. Freitas was undefeated in 35 fights and was a very dangerous boxer for his speed, but Corrales was not an easy opponent, since he had suffered just two defeats against boxers like Floyd Mayweather Jr and Joel Casamayor (then Corrales won the rematch with Casamayor). For Corrales was his first world fight in the lightweight division but his pressing and heavy punches were impressive… Watch the video!
Review: Miguel Angel Cotto vs Kelson Pinto was a battle between undefeated since both boxers had a perfect record: 20-0-0 for Cotto, 21-0-0 for Pinto. Miguel Cotto was the favorite, since he had already won against strong opponents, but Pinto was a tough and not easy boxer for his height (9 cm more than Cotto) and his heavy punches (19 Ko on 21 wins!). Cotto vs Pinto was valid for the vacant WBO light welterweight title. Watch the video!
