  1. Shane wouldn't have beaten Winky in a month of Sundays.

    He really would have fought anyone in his prime.

    The Rosario fight ruined Camacho as a fighter. He fought scared after that contest and never regained his zest.

    Do peeps reckon Mercer was wobbled in the first round against Holmes, by that jab? Or did he just lose his footwork?

    Kompayak Porpramook vs Adrian Hernandez for the WBC Light Flyweight title.

    Pretty even through 6 with Hernandez if anything slightly ahead using his superior jab. Gradually Porpramook was able to close the distance and begin to start landing with authority. by the 9th round he was landing some real hurtful three punch combo's and in the 10th Hernandez was beginning to wilt. another combo resulting with a lovely right hook and the fight was all over, although the ref did the full count there was no real attempt by Hernandez to get up.

    New WBC Light Fly Weight champion Kompayek Porpramook, first time I've watch him but was very impressed with his inside fighting. Great a blocking and parrying on the inside and liked the way that although he was being out jabbed early he was always punching back at the same time. He didn't have the reach but he had the timing.

    I tipped him for the upset purely on his nationality :D

    In fairness to me, Holmes and Mercer are sporting the exact same haircut :D

    It's like Meldrick Taylor vs Glenwood Brown, in poor quality you can only tell the 2 fighters apart by their styles :yep
