2011 K-1 MUAY THAI fight – Andrei Kulebin vs Angelo Campoli – Video fight
Review: Kulebin was simply too strong for the less experienced Campoli. With full muay thai rules the Belarussian fighter is one of the strongest of the world and also in this fight he managed to win thanks to a right elbow that cutted his opponent. Watch the video of Andrei Kulebin vs Angelo Campoli:
2011 K-1 MUAY THAI fight – Giorgio Petrosyan vs Alexandre Cosmo – Video fight
Review: tough and technical fight between Giorgio Petrosyan and Alexandre Cosmo. Cosmo seemed stronger in the clinch and faster with the kicks, but Petrosyan with his self-confidence and his boxing skill has been able to annihilate the Brazilian, one of the world’s strongest muay thai fighter of the moment (winner of the the King’s Cup in 2009).

2002 best BOXING fight – Vernon Forrest vs Shane Mosley 1 – full fight Video
Review: 2002-01-26, the first fight between Vernon Forrest and Shane Mosley was one of the best fights of 2002. Both boxers had the same age and also a perfect record with no defeats, 38-0-0 for Mosley e 33-0-0 for Forrest, but Vernon “The Viper” Forrest boasted a greater height (8 cm). Vernon Forrest vs Shane Mosley 1 was valid for the WBC welterweight title, won by “Sugar” Shane in 2000 when he fought against Oscar De La Hoya. After this first exciting fight between Vernon Forrest and Shane Mosley, it was organized a rematch in the same year but it was less spectacular. Watch the video!
2002 best BOXING fight – Oscar De La Hoya vs Fernando Vargas – full fight Video
Review: 2002-09-14, Oscar De La Hoya vs Fernando Vargas was valid for three world titles of the light middleweight division, in fact De La Hoya was the champion for the WBC, while Vargas for the WBA and IBA. Oscar De La Hoya had already lost two times, once against Shane Mosley and the other one with Felix Trinidad (who had also already won against Fernando Vargas). Both boxers had a very spectacular way to fight even if different, and therefore could only be an exciting fight. Watch the video!
2002 best BOXING fight – Roy Jones Jr vs Clinton Woods – full fight Video
Review: 2002-09-07, one of the best boxing fights of 2002 was Roy Jones Jr vs Clinton Woods. Both boxers had in their record only one defeat, but the American had lost for a disqualification against Montell Griffin (in fact in the rematch Roy Jones Jr won by Ko in the first round), however, Woods was a solid fighter, younger than 3 years and had an advantage in terms of reach and height (8cm). Roy Jones Jr vs Clinton Woods was a real defense of the undisputed world champion of the light heavyweight division, in fact there were 7 titles at stake (WBF, WBC, IBF, WBA, IBO, IBA, NBA).

BOXING NEWS – Sergio Martinez vs Dzinziruk, Andy Lee vs McEwan – Hbo
While Bob Arum with Showtime will broadcast Cotto vs Mayorga, HBO will focus on the fight between Sergio Gabriel Martinez and Serhiy Dzinziruk which will be valid for the new vacant WBC Diamond middleweight title. “Maravilla” Martinez is the favorite of the fight, having beaten in his last two fighting Paul Williams and Kelly Pavlik, but he must be very careful because Dzinziruk, although he is not very appreciated and having fought only once in the United States, is a very smart and solid boxer. On the same evening there is another interesting fight between Andy Lee vs Craig McEwan. This boxing event will be broadcast on HBO Saturday, March
