Review: very good fight and amazing Ko between Kengo Shimizu and Tsutomu Takahagi during the kick-boxing event RISE 74 (heavyweight title elimination match). Takahagi starts strong with series of heavy punches that could end the fight at the first round, but we are in Japan, the homecountry of kamikaze… Watch the video!

The most interesting boxing’s event of the week it focuses on the fight between Yuriorkis Gamboa vs Jorge Solis, valid for the WBA and IBF featherweight titles. The ranking of the featherweight division is dominated by Juan Manuel Lopez, but if Gamboa wants to fight against “Juanma”, is forced to win versus the experienced and solid boxer Jorge “Coloradito” Solis, who has only two defeats (one with Manny Pacquiao). On the same evening (broadcasted by Hbo), there will be two more fighting of particular interest among four undefeated boxers: Jorge Diaz vs Teon Kennedy (valid for the USBA super bantamweight title) and Miguel Angel Garcia vs Matt Remillard (valid for
Saturday, March 26, in South Africa there will be the rematch between Steve Molitor and Takalani Ndlovu, fight valid for the IBF super bantamweight title.

Review: 2003-12-13, Cory Spinks vs Ricardo Mayorga was one of the best boxing fights of 2003. Spinks was the champion of the IBF welterweight title (won in the previous fight against Michele Piccirillo) while Mayorga held the WBA and the WBC welterweight titles (won against Vernon Forrest). Mayorga was penalized two points, but the fight was very exciting! Watch the video!
Review: 2003-03-08, the fight between Corrie Sanders and Wladimir Klitschko lasts less than five minutes but these two rounds are very spectacular. The younger Klitschko had already lost once (against Ross Puritty in 1998) but in this fight he was the favorite since he was defending his WBO heavyweight title, for the sixth time, and Sanders did not seem an opponent too hard to beat, as the most dangerous boxer he faced was Hasim Rahman, with which he had lost. With four knockdowns in just four minutes, Corrie Sanders vs Wladimir Klitschko, gets deservedly our four stars (after this match also Vitali Klitschko fights against Sanders). Watch the video!
Review: Daniel Straus vs Nazareno Malegarie has been the most beautiful fight of the BFC 37 (Bellator Fighting Championships). Malegarie had not lost in his career (19 wins from 19 games) but Daniel Straus is able to inflict the first defeat of his career in a good action fight. Watch the video!
Review: Brad Solomon successfully defended his WBA International welterweight title against Demetrius Hopkins in a fight not very spectacular. Watch the video!
