Review: 2011-12-30, even with the TKO in the first round, the fight between Vladimir Matyushenko and Alexander Gustafsson isn’t worth our three stars. Vladimir Matyushenko (26-5-0) entered as the No.23 light heavyweight in the world while Alexander Gustafsson (12-1-0) entered as the No.13. Matyushenko vs Gustafsson is on the undercard of Brock Lesnar vs Alistair Overeem, UFC 141. Watch the video!
Review: 2011-12-30, very nice first round then the pace slows down but the fight between Nam Phan and Jim Hettes was, for us, the best fight of UFC 141 (fight ended by unanimous decision). Nam Phan (17-9-0) entered as the No.58 featherweight in the world while Jim Hettes (9-0-0) entered as the No.65. Phan vs Hettes is on the undercard of Brock Lesnar vs Alistair Overeem, UFC 141.

Review: 2011-12-23, epic fight between two warriors without a moment’s respite, without clinching, but with many heavy shots and a nice ending: surely one of the Fights of the Year 2011, five stars. Adrian Hernandez (22-1-1) entered as the No.2 light flyweight in the world while Kompayak Porpramook (43-3-0) entered as the No.14. Hernandez vs Kompayak is valid for the WBC light flyweight title (Hernandez’s second defense). Watch the video!
Review: 2011-12-17, amazing toe-to-toe fight between Omar Chavez, youngest son of Julio Cesar Chavez (21 years old) and Jorge Paez Jr (24 years old), son of the former WBO and IBF featherweight champion Jorge Paez. The fight was very close and certainly it was one of the most exciting fights of 2011 therefore we want to reward these two young fighters with five stars. The undefeated Omar Chavez entered the fight with a record of 27-0-1 while Jorge Paez Jr had a record of 29-4-1. Watch the video!
Review: 2011-12-17, good fight with 3 knockdowns (both fighters went down!), one of the best fights of the weekend: three stars (fight ended by KO in the eighth round).

Salido comes from victory over Juanma Lopez (one of the best boxing fights of 2011). Watch the video!
Review: 2011-12-18, good third round but the first two are not spectacular enough: two stars (the fight between Richy Green and Bernueng Topking Boxing ended by decision). Green vs Bernueng is on the undercard of Buakaw Por Pramuk vs Frank Giorgi (THAI FIGHT 2011 Tournament Final). Watch the video!
