Taylor vs Wright I thought it would be Winky with a high guard throwing just a jab against a constantly backing up Jermaine who may run out of gas. What a great fight it turned out to be. More often than not they stood traded shots. Mayweather vs Corley: After Judah went the distance I expected the same, a smaller FLoyd moving up is going to pick and choose when to potshot, but man -o-man. Floyd was the aggressor. It wasn't even back n forth. It was Floyd spanking Corley to the point of helping Demarcus up after the 4th or 5th KD. That was humorous. Dorin vs Spadafora. I saw Paul box before, but the snippets of Leonard convinced me at best he was an arm puncher. While there were no real power shots from either, they both brought an incredibly high paced fight. I really enjoyed the entire match. Winky Wright vs Sam Soliman Winky had come off 3 high profile fights 2 with Mosley & the advanced class on Tito. This was a stay busy fight against a dude who didn't have 35% KO rate. Figure I'd watch a minute and head out...but I couldn't walk away! 1st time I saw Sam those I knew of him. He brought an unusually goof-ball style that was both laughable and amazing. His punches were so wiry and wild, U couldn't determine if his jab was going to curve or his str8 right would end up looking like an uppercut. By late rounds Winky was looking red and puffy. Spinks vs Latimore Supposed to be a changing of the guard fight. It was apparent 1st few rounds Cory looked lethargic, legs were stiff & timing was off. Not a hard puncher he defied father time. Rather than trying to time or counter D- Lattimore he bit down and obliged; a fight broke out. And damn by midrounds it wasnt that he was shaking rust off, rather he proved to be the dog in the fight. He didn't just win, he earned the win. You won't be let down if U watch any of these fight!
Selby vs Burns. I thought this was going to be a boring match up between two fighters being overly cautious and conservative. Turns out, it was a real competitive fight with ebb and flows, good workrate and very good skill levels.
