    Watched a few fights today.

    Kevin Johnson v Devin Vargas 6.5/10
    Decent fight from last night. Vargas looked decent for a few rounds but Johnson had too much in the end. Johnson could do something in today's HW division but needs to lose a bit of weight.

    Alexander Dimitrenko v Luan Krasniqi 6/10
    Not that impressed with Dimitrenko but it was nice bodyshot which stopped Krasniqi. Dimi's not ready for the Klit's or Haye yet though his next fight is an eliminator against Chambers.

    Juan Manuel Lopez v Jose Luis Caro     7/10
    A young Juanma, just 8-0 at the time, on the undercard of Pac-Morales II. Great KO from Lopez, short right hook on the inside.

    Acelino Freitas v Jorge Barrios     8/10
    Great fight with a great ending. Both guys showed a true warriors heart. Barrios was badly cut from the middle rounds onwards yet still kept battling. Put Freitas down twice though the first one was maybe more to do with balance. Somehow Popo came back and dropped Barrios just as the bell rang for the end of the 11th after having been dropped earlier in the round. Popo then finished Barrios off in the 12th.

    Hopkins-Daniels

    Not bad at all, Daniels came to fight and was really giving it 100%, he had good footwork-nice lateral movement, kept his hands high, flicked the jab, was very busy and looked like he had a lot of self belief before Hopkins basically wore him down and eventually took his heart.

    yeh

    i score dthe second one just now 115-112 JMM i thought this one was closer though just the KDs made it closer.

    The first round wasntthat dominate for Pac he just kinda caught JMM with 3 flash KDs but the damage yto his nose was sick but he came back.

    Erik Morales vs Marco Antonio Barrera I

    Amazing fight. Some of the heavier fighters should take note, that's how a fight should be!

    I thought Barrera won that fight. He landed the cleaner blows and hurt Morales far more often than Morales hurt him. Barrera did an excellent job of smothering a lot of Morales' punches so that they weren't as powerful and had less effect. Had it 116-111 (I think).

    it should happen but i dont think i want it too. I have always said JMM deserved it but hes gettting old now and it would be a tough figth dont know if i want to see it. Should have happened after Pac beat Diaz.

    Marquez vs Mayweather will be alot closer than people think but still an FMj victory but JMM is abit past it now hope he gets a big payday and retires but if he puts up a great show bring on the Pacman

    Trinidad-Hopkins

    Heartbreaking really, I hated seeing Tito get destroyed like that. I mean, he showed incredible heart, never gave up, and even managed to get to his feet to earn the 't' behind the 'ko'. Hopkins was masterful, and this was a genuinely great fight.

    Pacquiao-Morales 2

    In my opinion, the first 6 rounds of this fight was Morales version of a shot fighters one last great performance and then his legs just totally went and took tremendous punishment before being stopped in the 10th :-(
