Review: 2011-08-27, even with the final knockout, the fight between Robert Helenius and Siarhei Liakhovich was boring. Helenius defeated Liakhovich by TKO in the ninth round and won the WBA and WBO Inter-Continental heavyweight titles (undercard of Povetkin vs Chagaev). Watch the video!
Review: 2010-09-11, Yuriorkis Gamboa (18-0-0) had won the WBA World featherweight title in 2009 and he had already defended his belt three times, instead Orlando Salido (34-10-2) was the reigning champion of the IBF featherweight title. In the eighth round Gamboa went down but in the last round the Cuban boxer knocked down Salido two times defeating the Mexican by unanimous decision (in the 12th round Joe Cortez deducted 2 points to Gamboa for hitting Salido while he was down). The fight Gamboa vs Salido was tough but also technical, with a high pace: one of the best boxing fights of 2010. Watch the video!
Review: 2010-08-21, Marco Antonio Rubio and Jose Luis Zertuche had already fight in 2008 for the WBC FECOMBOX middleweight title and Rubio won by TKO. In this second fight, after two years, Rubio was defending his WBC Latino middleweight title and he defeated Jose Luis Zertuche again before the end of the match (technical knockout in the sixth round). The fight was tough and had a high pace: four stars. Watch the video!
Review: 2011-08-20, important victory for Fernando “Cochulito” Montiel but the fight was not very spectacular: two stars. Fernando Montiel defeated Alvaro Perez by KO in the third round; this match was the second fight for Montiel in the super bantamweight division after the defeat against Nonito Donaire (one of the best ko of 2011).

Review: 2011-08-19, Tomas Rojas was defending for the third time his WBC super flyweight title and was the favourite since he was ranked as the #2 in the world (boxrec super flyweight division) while his opponent, Suriyan Sor Rungvisai, was ranked as the #16 and was at his first attempt to win a world title in the super flyweight division. The fight Rojas vs Suriyan was not very exciting even if the fighter from Thailand managed to win “Gusano” Rojas. Watch the video!
Review: 2005-04-30, very exciting fight between Vicente Mosquera (20-1-1) and Yodsanan Sor Nanthachai (44-2-1). The boxer from Thailand, also known as Yodsanan 3K Battery had won the WBA World super featherweight title in 2002 (against Lakva Sim) and at his fourth defense he had to face the Panamanian boxer Mosquera, at his first fight in United States. Both boxers started strong and Yodsanan knocked down Mosquera in the first round, but in the third (one of the best rounds of the year) both fighters went down! In the second part of the match the pace slow down but in the last two rounds the battle started again. Vicente Mosquera defeated Yodsanan Sor Nanthachai by unanimous decision winning the WBA belt, then lost in 2006 against Edwin Valero (one of the best boxing fights of 2006). Watch the video!
Review: 2010-05-15, Michael Katsidis (26-2-0) had lost his interim WBO lightweight title against Joel Casamayor in 2008 (one of the best fights of the year) but regained it in 2009 (versus Vicente Escobedo); after six months his new opponent was the undefeated Kevin Mitchell (31-0-0) that wanted to win a world title in front of his fans, at the Upton Park in London. The aggressive Michael Katsidis was the underdog but he managed to defeat Kevin Mitchell in just three rounds: one of the best fights of 2010. Watch the video!
Review: 2011-08-19, good fight between David Diaz and Henry Lundy. In the fourth round (the most beautiful of the match) Diaz knocks down Lundy but he recovers and in the sixth Henry “Hank” Lundy knocks Diaz out with a nice straight left retaining his NABF lighweight title. Watch the video!
