    Ajisafe vs McKenzie - Ajisafe put down in the first round and gassed really badly in an 8 round fight (although he apparently took the fight on short notice) - many felt McKenzie should have got the result, but Ajisafe got it.

    McCallum vs Toney 1. Great fight with both fighters oozing class. I thought Mike was a bit unlucky not to get it but a great finish by Toney.

    Hopkins vs Trinidad - found i had it on DVD in terrible quality but i persevered and it was a real good fight.

    Arguello vs Olivares - very very good fight

    I think the cards were even, but I would have no problem with Toney edging it as he finished stronger. If he had more rounds he would have won, I think that's worth something.

    I'm in round 7 now, really like how Vasquez is boxing in this fight. Good lateral movement, he gives Licona some nice angles and his jab is great.

    Michael Nunn vs James Toney

    I've just watched it today for the first time and was surprised at how competitive it was after what I've read about it. Nunn outworked Toney over the first 7 rounds but Toney was fighting back throughout and was landing some great right hands. From the 8th onwards it was all Toney. Great finish after looking dangerous with the right throughout he nailed him with a left hook. Two scorecards had Nunn up 7 and 8 rounds . I can't see that.

    Watched Urango-Bailey (man Urango has a good chin and powers of recovery) and Woods-Cloud (Woods gave a very, very good account of himself, shame he's retired he would BATTER and stop Cleverly IMO)
