LAST 4 & 5 STARS FIGHTS:
FULL FIGHTS Released this week:
Review: 2011-11-12, nice fight with two impressive slams of Douglas Evans but as soon as they go to the ground Alexandre Bezerra submits Evans with a great heel hook: one of the best submission of 2011 (the fight it is very close to our 4 stars). Douglas Evans entered the fight with a record of 13-9-0 while Alexandre Bezerra had a record of 11-1-0 (Bellator 57). Watch the video!
Review: 2011-11-12, good fight between Mike Alvarado and Breidis Prescott: three stars. Prescott starts strong dominating the early rounds but Alvarado comes out in the second part of the fight winning by TKO in the tenth and last round. The undefeated Mike Alvarado (31-0-0) entered as the No.17 light welterweight in the world while Breidis Prescott (24-3-0) entered as the No.28. Alvarado vs Prescott is valid for the IBF Latino light welterweight title (undercard of Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez 3). Watch the video!
Review: 2011-11-12, pleasant fight between Luis Cruz and Juan Carlos Burgos but it is not enough for our three stars; Burgos defeated Cruz by majority decision. The undefeated Luis Cruz (19-0-0) entered as the No.13 super featherweight in the world while Juan Carlos Burgos (27-1-0) entered as the No.21. Cruz vs Burgos is valid for the WBO NABO super featherweight title (undercard of Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez 3). Watch the video!
Review: 2011-11-12, Timothy Bradley dominated and won Joel Casamayor by TKO but there was too much clinching: two stars. The undefeated Timothy Bradley (27-0-0) entered as the No.1 light welterweight in the world while Joel Casamayor (38-5-1) entered as the No.31. Bradley vs Casamayor is valid for the WBO light welterweight title (undercard of Pacquiao vs Marquez 3). Watch the video!
Review: 2011-11-12, the third fight between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez was not a war as their second fight and it had not “unexpected moments” as in their first bout but it was just a good one and it was not as spectacular as we expected (or like other boxing fights of 2011 such as Wolak vs Rodriguez, Salido vs Juanma Lopez or Guerrero vs Katsidis), therefore we can’t give it more than three stars. Manny Pacquiao (53-3-2) entered as the No.1 welterweight in the world while Juan Manuel Marquez (53-5-1) entered as the No.1 lightweight. Pacquiao vs Marquez 3 was valid for the WBO welterweight title. Watch the video!
Review: 2011-11-12, the fight between Alexander Shlemenko and Vitor Vianna was not very spectacular: two stars. Shlemenko defeated Vianna by unanimous decision (Bellator 57). Alexander Shlemenko (42-7-0) entered as the No.33 middleweight in the world while Vitor Vianna (12-1-1) entered as the No.59. Shlemenko vs Vianna is the final of the Bellator Middleweight Tournament. Watch the video!
Review: 2011-11-12, nice knockout of Douglas Lima that defeated Ben Saunders in the second round but it is not enough for our three stars. Ben Saunders (12-3-2) entered as the No.37 welterweight in the world while Douglas Lima (20-4-0) entered as the No.52. Saunders vs Lima is the final of the Bellator Welterweight Tournament (they fought a second time on September 20, 2013: Saunders vs Lima 2). Watch the video!
