In an impressive performance Lopez destroyed Leon with hard, sharp, straight and short accurate punching... I actually thought Leon looked very good for the first minute lol!! in comparison to how he usually looks... was throwing straighter, but Lopez is skill wise a level above and it showed as he conected with his well placed shots... forcing the referee to stop the fight with Leon badly hurt

Williams helped put his critics foot in their mouth for the time being as he demolished Quintana in impressive fashion...

Lockett did himself proud in not coming to lay down and actually fought the undisputed middleweight world champion... but he was outsized, overpowered, outpunched and outclassed as Pavlik steamrolled him to a 3rd round stoppage. Pavlik looks to be getting a bit better each time he fights though could have been due to locketts lower level in comparison. Good fight for Pav in that he did what he was supposed to do. Lets not forget all the champions that get upset by guys they are supposed to beat.

In a fight in which only TWO people predicted Forrest NOT winning this fight... Mora showed some tenacity and a lot of desire down the stretch to take a MD. Forrest controlled the fight and pace early on, fighting his fight and outboxing mora from the outside with sharp right hands. Mora started to turn it up as Forrest started to get sluggish around the 6th/7th rounds and preceeded to take the fight away from Forrest. I thought it was a close fight that could have gone eather way or a draw due to one guy winning one half and the other winning the other but i can see giving it to mora as he closed the show.

In front of a huge crowd.... It was a typical Hatton fight with tough Lazcano... though Lazcano was beaten convincingly he still had his moments, hurting Hatton down the stretch, when the ref split the fighters.... and Hatton needing his shoe tied as well. Hatton cought a break there. In the end, Hatton won a comfortable decision.

Gamboa got off to a fast and arrogant start, but his game game opponent, who was completely outmatched physically, never stopped trying and knocked Gamboa down midway through the fight.... but Gamboa got up and went on to dominate.
Perro put in a workmanlike performance, almost reminded me of a poor mans margarito. Got through some tough moments to secure a stoppage
Kirkland showed who he was in an impressive performance in one round destruction of bad boy albert

Ding was overwelmed by the brick house that is Arslan, with his high guard and better skills.... he wore Ding down and out in a significant cruiserweight matchup.

I thought Oscar looked so so in his fight against forbes..... he looked very underwelming against a smaller fighter who was there to be hit, forbes, fought a good fight and busted hoyas face up.... but in the end hoya was too good, and too big. Winning a UD.

In a fight that I personally found interesting, the two champions clashed, with a fight that of course is not without its controversy. JC survived a first round knockdown and at the end of the night the official rule is JC won a SD. It was JC's flurries and aggression vs Hopkins stronger punches, and defense.

In a suprise turn of events, Adamek makes Bell quit in a fight seemingly controlled the whole way by Adamek, but with Bell landing some good body shots. Adamek seems to have made quite a splash in the cruiserweight division.

In a totally one sided, brutal beating, Cotto scalped and dissected Gomez until the dr halts the brutality in the 5th round. Cotto looked smooth and fast but was in against someone who helped make him look that way.

Margarito repeats the performance of their last fight when he outworked, outmuscled, outhustled and outoughs cintron, cintron collapses under a brutal body shot and cant get to his feet in time.

In a back and forth fight that some favored for johnson and some favored for dawson, the old man proved he was still a relavent force in todays sport, meanwhile dawson kept the belt. Very good fight and what can i say about Johnson? Hes impossible not to like.

Tarver, on ESB at least, going in as the underdog, outboxes woods without much problem, setting him up for larger fights in the future.

In what appears to be a highly controversial decision with most, and in this case, maybe all from what ive seen, say spinks got clearly jobbed out of a victory by verno in an upset shocker. Not one person picked verno to win, and perhaps nobody was wrong.
