Review: Rigondeaux proved too strong for the English William Casey, the Cuban wins without too much trouble by Ko in the first round (Casey down three times). Guillermo Rigondeaux vs Willie Casey was valid for the interim WBA World super bantamweight title. Watch the video!
LAST 4 & 5 STARS FIGHTS:
FULL FIGHTS Released this week:
2011 BOXING fight – Vitali Klitschko vs Odlanier Solis – Video fight
Review: Vitali Klitschko won too easily at the first round against Odlanier Solis. Where was the Cuban phenomenon last night? It’s almost hard to believe that an undefeated boxer as Solis, three time gold medalist at the World Amateur Boxing Championships and once at the Olympics, goes down in this way. Watch the video!
2003 best BOXING fight – Arturo Gatti vs Micky Ward 3 – full fight Video
Review: 2003-06-07, the third and final fight between Arturo Gatti and Micky Ward was one of the best boxing fights of 2003 (and was named Ring Magazine fight of the year 2003). Gatti had lost the first fight against Ward, but then he won the rematch: two of the most spectacular fights of 2002. In this third chapter Arturo Gatti broke his right hand during the fourth round, but even with a single hand he managed to finish the fight; this will be also the last fight of Micky Ward.

2003 best BOXING fight – Joe Calzaghe vs Byron Mitchell – full fight Video
Review: 2003-06-28, Joe Calzaghe vs Byron Mitchell gets our five stars mainly for the second round that could be appointed “round of the year”. For the thirteenth time Calzaghe defended his WBO super middleweight title against American Byron Mitchell, who had been world champion for the WBA in previous years. Mitchell is the first boxer who knockdown the “Italian Dragon” Calzaghe (he will go down also with Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones Jr a few years later), but Calzaghe has always raised….

2003 best BOXING fight – Ricardo Mayorga vs Vernon Forrest 1 – full fight Video
Review: 2003-01-25, Ricardo Mayorga vs Vernon Forrest 1 was one of the most spectacular boxing fights of 2003. Mayorga was the champion for the WBA welterweight division, but the boxer to beat was Forrest, as he was undefeated in 35 fights and he came with two wins against Shane Mosley. But in boxing, and especially against a fighter like Ricardo “El Matador” Mayorga, the result is never predictable…We are only sure that the first fight Forrest vs Mayorga, ended by TKO in the third round, was one of the most exciting of 2003 (after six months it was held the second fight and Mayorga won by majority decision).

Manny Pacquiao vs Marco Antonio Barrera 1 full fight Video – 2003
Review: 2003-11-15, the first fight between Manny Pacquiao and Marco Antonio Barrera has been (for us) the fight of the year of 2003 (while for Ring Magazine was Arturo Gatti vs Micky Ward 3). For Manny Pacquiao was the second fight in the featherweight division, he had won the first one against Serikzhan Yeshmagambetov (2003-03-15), while Barrera was fighting in this category since 2001 when he defeated Naseem Hamed. Manny Pacquiao vs Marco Antonio Barrera 1 was not valid for any world title but it was certainly one of the greatest boxing fights ever (instead their second fight, in 2007, was much less exciting).

MMA NEWS – UFC 128 Shogun vs Jones – Full fight card and video preview
Saturday, March 19, backs the Ultimate Fighting Championship (128) with the main event Mauricio “Shogun” Rua vs Jon Jones. Both are among the top 10 mma fighters in the Light Heavyweight division, Rua hasn’t fought for almost a year (UFC 113), while Jones has fought just a month and a half ago, defeating Ryan Bader. It is not easy to predict the result of the fight between Shogun and Jones (valid for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship) since the U.S., despite not having too much experience is a tough fighter and is younger than six years. But the UFC 128 could be very exciting thanks to the first fight in 2011 of Urijah Faber that fights against Eddie Wineland, thanks to the the undefeated Kamal Shalorus that will face Jim Miller and the always spectacular Mirko Cro Cop Filipovic versus
