Review: 2011-11-12, Junior dos Santos surprises everyone beating the undefeated Velasquez in just 1 minute (one of the best ko’s of the year). Cain Velasquez (9-0-0) entered as the No.1 heavyweight in the world while Junior dos Santos (13-1-0) entered as the No.2. Dos Santos earned the night’s “Knockout of the Night” award and won the UFC Heavyweight Championship (main event of the “UFC on Fox”). Watch the video!
Review: 2011-11-05, tough fight but not very technical between Guillermo Jones and Michael Marrone: two stars. Jones knocks down Marrone two times and in the sixth his corner stopped the fight. Guillermo Jones entered the fight with a record of 37-3-2 while Michael Marrone had a record of 20-3-0. Jones vs Marrone is valid for the WBA World cruiserweight title. Watch the video!
Review: 2011-11-05, nice and fast knockout of Che Mills that defeated Chris Cope in just 40 seconds and earned the night’s “Knockout of the Night” award.

Review: 2011-11-05, at the end of the third round Andrei Arlovski knocks Travis Fulton out with one of the best ko of the year but unfortunately the fight was boring and we can’t give more than three stars. Andrei Arlovski entered the fight with a record of 16-9-0 while Travis Fulton had a record of 247-48-10. Arlovski vs Fulton was on the undercard of Tim Sylvia vs Andreas Kraniotakes (ProElite – Big Guns). Watch the video!
Review: 2011-11-05, boring fight between the undefeated Peter Quillin and Craig McEwan: one stars. “Kid Chocolate” Quillin defeated McEwan by TKO in the sixth round but the referee stopped the fight too soon (McEwan had never been knocked down during the fight). Peter Quillin (25-0-0) entered as the No.9 super middleweight in the world while Craig McEwan (19-1-0) entered as the No.39 middleweight. Quillin vs McEwan was on the undercard of Alfredo Angulo vs James Kirkland. Watch the video!
Review: 2011-11-05, Kirkland starts strong but after 28 seconds of the first round he is already down, so Alfredo Angulo tries to end the fight throwing a lot of punches in the second minute of the fight but James Kirkland survives and comes back in the last minute of the first round knocking down “Perro” Angulo! Then the fight goes on but we don’t want to unveil the result of the bout… We don’t believe that Kirkland vs Angulo could win “Fight of the Year” honors but it could be a candidate for “Round of the Year” thanks to the amazing first round. Alfredo Angulo (20-1-0) entered as the No.2 light middleweight in the world while James Kirkland (29-1-0) entered as the No.49 middleweight. Angulo vs Kirkland, semi-final eliminator for the WBC light middleweight title. Watch the video!
Review: 2011-11-05, nice knockout of George Groves that defeated Paul Smith in the second round: three stars. The undefeated George Groves (13-0-0) entered as the No.27 super middleweight in the world while Paul Smith (31-2-0) entered as the No.33. Groves vs Smith is valid for the BBBofC British and Commonwealth super middleweight titles (undercard of Ricky Burns vs Michael Katsidis). Watch the video!
Review: 2002-08-17, Joan Guzman vs Fabio Daniel Oliva was one of the best boxing fights of 2002. Both boxers were undefeated and had a similar record, Guzman 17-0-0, while 18-0-0 for Oliva, but the former had already fought for international titles and outside his home country, instead Oliva had never fought outside Argentina, this match was his first time. Joan Guzman vs Fabio Daniel Oliva was valid for the vacant WBO super bantamweight title and it was an exciting fight with a quick knockout in the third round. Watch the video!
Review: 2002-06-08, Lennox Lewis vs Mike Tyson was probably the most important fight in the heavyweight division of the new millennium. Lennox Lewis was the champion (WBC, IBF and IBO) and he had lost twice in his career (with Oliver McCall and Hasim Rahman) but he always managed to take his revenge. Even Mike Tyson had already lost, once against Buster Douglas and twice with Evander Holyfield, Tyson’s career was already in decline, in fact he didn’t fight for a world title for five years. Lennox Lewis vs Mike Tyson was certainly one of the best boxing fights of 2002. Watch the video!
