It was a dominating win.

Anyways I'll take a cold shot at a SMW TOP 10 Rankings:

1- Mikkel Kessler
Barely #1 at this point having not fought since October.

2-Lucian Bute
Wins over Berrio, Bika, Andrade and Zuniga pretty much give him some say about potentially being the top dog here. I think a win over Andrade again (more cleanly) gives him the top spot.

3-Carl Froch
Two tough gutsy wins over Taylor and Pascal give him some say about being at the top spot as well. Taylor is probably the best win out of all the guys at the top 3 but he has the weakest resume overall.

4-Sakio Bika
Won the contender, killed Manfredo then went to hell for a lil while. He has a case for the most avoided fighter in this division. Losses to Calzaghe, Bute and Soliman kind of spoil a decent resume. Tough guy...nobody wants to fight this guy.

5-Librado Andrade
The human wrecking ball. Two losses to the top two guys, one of those losses I felt he got jobbed in. Regardless he's cleaned out dudes like Tsypko, Steiglitz and Yusef Mack and will probably give Andrade ANOTHER brutal fight come Oct.

6-Karoly Balszay
Having seen only one fight of his, It's hard to draw much of an impression but from what I did see I'm very impressed. He'll be fighting Robert Steiglitz in June in what I figure to be a good fight. We owe him for eradicating Denis Inkin from the title for a while.

7-Jermain Taylor
Damn Jermain. Damn. You had it man. You had it and you let it off the hook. Taylor can still beat anyone in the top 10 at SMW but at the same time, he's a tough person to predict. I think his days as the top dog are close to done but as I've said, he's hard to predict.

8- Andre Ward
A big win over Miranda. Lots of skills but most importantly, underrated ring intelligence. Very talented with a big future so we'll see what'll happen there. I think Ward taking on Bika would be a good fight for both men and with Ward being the draw in Oakland, it wouldn't be a big financial flop.

9-Andre Dirrell
After beating Hanshaw and Oganov, Dirrell has slowed down a bit. Indirectly Dirrell is competing with Andre Ward and with Ward taking a massive step up in his 20th fight, Dirrell (at fight 19) has to be looking for an equal step up. Maybe Dirrell should be looking at the likes of Jeff Lacy or Jermain Taylor to try and take a similar move up. Maybe even Inkin. Dirrell needs to move upwards and I think he's got the skill to do it.

10-Allan Green
A big win over DeLeon (not a GREAT opponent or anything but still) gets him in the top 10.

On the outside lookin in: Denis Inkin, Karo Murat, Dimitro Sartison
