    Ortiz keep on winning, he will surely be on a tv-channel soon.
    He is now number 59 heavy in boxrec. Perez is number 57 heavy.
    Garcia is 15
    Franco is 53 ( he is ranked 14 in IBF)
    Despaigne is 35 (he is ranked 9 in WBC)
    Barrera is 36 as cruiser(he is ranked 14 light heavy in WBA) Jhohnson is 68
    Collado Acosta is 60.
    That means that they are close to get ranked in WBA/WBC/IBF/WBO. One fight or two.

    Cuban cruiserweight Pedro Rodriguez (4-0, 4 KO’s) brought a soft belly into the ring tonight as he took this fight on short notice. Unfortunately for opponent TJ Cook(1-1, 1 KO), Rodriguez didn’t forget to pack his heavy hands. Rodriguez scored with short, chopping hands to stun Cook in the 2nd round. Cook tried to slow the assault with body shots but Rodriguez forced the action in the corner and scored 2 big rights to drop Cook as the 2nd round bell rang. Referee Tellis Assimenios waved off any further punishment.


    A little bit confusing. According to Boxrec Pedro Rodriguez is a american with a record 1-2.
    boxing for first time since 2000.
    But i think it is the cuban with a record 3-0 before the fight.

    In a bizarre finish to tonight’s WBC heavyweight eliminator, Ray “The Rainman “ Austin (28-5-4, 18 KO’s) suffered a disqualification loss to Odlanier “La Sombra” Solis (17-0,12 KO’s). Solis dominated the action with superior handspeed, defense and combination punches. Although Austin held height and weight advantages, Solis had him moving backwards for most of the fight. Austin’s jab slowed down to a mere push in the later rounds as Solis’ energy seemed to increase. The tenth round saw Solis land a solid one-two that stunned Austin followed by a blistering 4 punch combination to put the “Rainman” on wobbly legs. Austin ate another right hand that caused him to clinch Solis into the ropes. That’s when things got weird. Austin pushed Solis into the ring ropes at the bell and the two men almost toppled over only to get pushed back up by promoter Ahmet Oner and referee Tellis Assimenios. When the two fighters finally righted themselves, Austin threw an ill-advised punch that connected. That was enough for referee Tommy Kimmons who he immediately disqualified Austin. The win means Solis will face WBC world heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko next year for the title

    I was there. It's definitely the 3-0 Cuban Pedro Rodriguez. . . . . Angelo Santana did great! Won by Knock Out. 3rd Round I believe.

    Willie Casey secures World Title fight in March 2011

    Dolphil Promotions are delighted to reveal that a deal has been struck between both Guillermo Rigondeux’s manager Gary Hyde, Top Rank Promotions and Dolphil Promotions for the proposed World Title fight between EBU Champion Willie Casey and WBA intrim World Champion Guillermo Rigondeaux.
    The fight is scheduled for March 2011 and is now likely to be held in Dublin rather then Cork, as previously stated.
    “The deal is in place, Ireland can now prepare itself for one of the greatest fights ever held over here. You have a two-time Olympic Gold medallist and WBA World Champion against Ireland’s ‘Cinderella man’- a man who has beaten all the odds to get to where he is now. We are delighted that it's going ahead and also that it will be held here in Ireland” said Daniel Halpin
    For Casey the fairytale looks set to continue now with Dolphil Promotions astonishingly having secured a World Title fight for him after just 11 professional fights.
    Rigondeaux holds the World Title, the same belt captured by Bernard Dunne in Dublin’s O2. The Cuban hotshot, nicknamed El Jackel claimed the title on the undercard of Manny Pacquiaov v Antonio Margarito in Dallas last month by beating Ricardo Cordoba on points in front of 60,000 spectators.
    The Cuban Super-Bantamweight is pleased a deal has been struck and is relishing his chance to fight in Ireland.
    “I am very happy to bring my World Title to Ireland, the same place where I won my first World Amateur title. I have watched Casey and I believe this will be a tough fight, he fights with passion and a lot of courage but I believe I will remain champion after this fight.”
    Dolphil Promotions on the other hand have other plans and firmly believe that Willie Casey will beat Rigondeux and become Ireland’s next world champion.
    “We are confident Willie will beat the Cuban, otherwise we wouldn’t put him in with him. We have said it time and time again that Willie is good enough to fight any of them at his weight. This is a great story in tough times- lets get the whole country behind Willie Casey”. Said an upbeat Don O’Leary
    After just two years in the pro game Ireland’s Cinderella Man is now one fight away from being crowned the new WBA Champion. This amazing story which began in 2008 is sure to capture the imagination of the Irish public. Having won both the Prizefighter trophy and the European Title this year the Limerick native now stands ready for a fight with one of the greatest amateur boxers of all time.
    “I’m delighted and very grateful that after such a short career I have got all these opportunities. As I have shown so far the bigger these occasions get the better I will get. Ireland has been waiting a while for their next world champion and I am ready to keep that belt here in Ireland”
    Casey continued “ He was a very technical amateur, it will be up to me to stop him doing what he does best which I am confident of doing”.
     
    Ticket information for this fight will be announced in a fortnights time

    Santana came in 137, he might be lightweight. Others like Fiz came in 150 some weeks ago and could be welter instead of lightmiddle.
    If you was there we have to ask you about Solis. Did he by purpuse keep Austin in the fight to get more rounds ?(he might need the experience if the Klitschko-fight goes the distance)

    what he need to do is shave a least 20-25lbs off his body, it is becaming a little bit disrespectful to his fans, aint't supporting this guy just for him to get his payday.

    On Youtube you can see from round 5 and 10. Solis really hammers this guy in round 5.
