Review: 2009-05-02, the fight between Manny Pacquiao (48-3-2) and Ricky Hatton (45-1-0) lasted only 2 rounds, but it were six minutes very exciting. Hatton, after losing against Floyd Mayweather Jr (in 2007), trying to win the welterweight title, had returned in his light welterweight division winning the IBO‘s belt versus Juan Lazcano (in 2008). So Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton defended his title against Manny Pacquiao who tried to win a world title in the light welterweight category, even though he had just fought and won against Oscar De La Hoya at the welterweight limit. Pacquiao knocked down Hatton two times in the first round and knocked him out at the end of the second round, surely one of the best KO of 2009. (After this fight Hatton retired). Watch the video!
Review: 2009-08-15, Roy Jones Jr (53-5-0), in 2009, was 40 years old but still managed to amuse the public, thanks to his explosive and spectacular way of fighting. A few months before Roy Jones Jr won the WBO NABO light heavyweight title against Omar Sheika, and in this fight he defended this title versus Jeff Lacy (25-2-0), a good boxer who was also world’s champion in the super middleweight division. Roy Jones Jr dominated virtually every round and won the younger Jeff Lacy (99-91, 100-89, 98-92). Watch the video!
Review: 2009-05-29, undefeated Oleydong Sithsamerchai (30-0-0) defended for the third time his WBC minimumweight title, which had won in 2007 against Eagle Den Junlaphan. His opponent this time was Muhammad Rachman (62-7-5), very experienced Indonesian boxer who was almost 38 years old and was the (IBF) world champion of the minimumweight division until 2007, when he lost versus Florante Condes. The fight ended in the eleventh round for a headbutt and the winner of this great battle was Sithsamerchai (technical decision). Watch the video!
Review: 2009-04-04, in just two years, since Edgar Sosa (34-5-0) won the WBC light flyweight title against Brian Viloria (in 2007), the Mexican had already defended his title seven times. In this fight he faced the Thai Pornsawan Porpramook (21-2-0), who fought for the first time in the light flyweight division. Edgar Sosa defeated Porpramook by TKO after a great and tough fight.

Review: 2009-02-07, the fight between Vic Darchinyan and Jorge Arce was one of the best boxing fights of 2009. Darchinyan (31-1-1) had just won the WBA and WBC super flyweight titles against Cristian Mijares and, during the previous fight (also in 2008) he had beat Dmitry Kirillov, winning the IBF belt. So Darchinyan was the king of the super flyweight category, but another warrior wanted to steal his titles: Jorge Arce (51-4-1), interim champion for the WBA. The bout was very exciting, but in the eleventh round, doctor stopped the fight for the cuts to Arce’s eyes, all three judges gave the victory to Darchinyan, 109-100. Watch the video!
Review: 2011-05-21, good fight between George Groves (12-0-0) and James DeGale (10-0-0), bout valid for the British and the Commonwealth super middleweight titles. Both boxers are very young (Groves was born in 1988, while DeGale in 1986), undefeated and really fast! Many were expecting the victory of the gold medalist DeGale, but after a very balanced fight, Groves won by middle decision. Watch the video!
Review: 2011-05-21, the fight that preceded the main event “Pascal vs Hopkins 2”, between Chad Dawson and Adrian Diaconu was not very exciting. Chad Dawson (29-1-0) defeated Adrian Diaconu (27-2-0) by unanimous decision after a tactical fight. Watch the video!
Review: 2011-05-21, the second fight between Bernard Hopkins (51-5-2) and Jean Pascal (26-1-1) was valid for the IBO and WBC light heavyweight titles and it was a pleasant fight. The first fight had ended in a draw, but one judge gave the victory to Hopkins and, in Canada, this means a lot… This time Hopkins defeated Pascal by unanimous decision and, having 46 years, supplanted George Foreman as the oldest world champion in boxing history. Congratulations to Bernard “The Executioner” Hopkins. Watch the video!
Review: 2011-05-21, it is very sad to see how one of the greatest boxing champions of all time as Roy Jones Jr loses the fight against Denis Lebedev (KO, round 10). This was the third consecutive defeat of Roy Jones Jr, we hope he understand that it is better to stop to fight at 42 years old. Watch the video!
Review: 2009-10-03, the fight between David Tua and Shane Cameron was exciting for the impressive KO of the Samoan, who knocked down Cameron at the beginning of the second round. David Tua (49-3-1) could remember Mike Tyson for the amount of Ko that he had in his record and also for his style of fighting, but against stronger opponents he has never been convincing. Shane Cameron (23-1-0), however, was a good boxer and still today is at thirteenth place of the boxrec’s ranking (cruiserweight division); Tua vs Cameron was valid for the WBO Asia Pacific and WBO Oriental heavyweight title.
