116-110 Collins

Solid intelligent and scrappy performance from The Celtic Warrior, who drew the lead and countered brilliantly the lunging Eubank throughout, usually the superior counter puncher in the equation. It wasn't all that close, Eubank was far too passive, and while he landed a ton of jabs and lead rights, he rarely followed up on his good work, the best example was him letting Collins clear his head after the heavy knockdown in the 10th, had Eubank gone all out after he dropped him, he may have forced a referee stoppage, but he decided to try to bait Collins into a counter and showboat like an ass the rest of the round. They were about equally accurate throughout, with Collins outworking Eubank in the majority of teh rounds, and Collins landed th harder shots.

Round 12 Cotto 10-9 PM held a lot, while bleeding from every orifice, Cotto going to body and head for the kill.

114-113 Cotto

I thought it was ridiculously close at the time, even though I didn't officially score it, I thought it was drawish and I haven't seen it since, well... I stand by my original assessment. Quite frankly an argument could be made that Paulie may have nicked it by a round, regardless, the knockdown made the difference on my card. Paulie fought a tactically brilliant fight, giving Cotto a ton of lateral movement away from his left hook, the majority of body shots Cotto landed was to his back, which do not count, he rolled with or slipped many others. He smothered, held and consistently broke the rhythm of Cotto, and without the early knockdown the broken jaw and cuts over his left eye, Paulie would have probably won this walking away. But the judges probably wouldn't have given it to him anyway.

115-111 Toney

Perhaps one of my favorite matches, its an absolute masterpiece of violence. Although I didn't score it at the time, still holds up brutally well. Will/skill vs. skill/will, Jirov never takes a step back in spite of eating counters almost non stop, never stops throwing. Toney's defense was still top notch, in spite of Jirov penetrating it more than most. The last 3 rounds are absolutely brutal, with the barrage Jirov takes late in the 12th, the fact that he stood up to it was practically an inhuman feat. Brilliant match, that I was probably a little biased with in my scoring, that being said I love both fighters.
