    Castillo vs Corrales, absolute belter of a fight and that 10th round is possibly the best round of boxing history. Tony Weeks stopped that fight at the absolute perfect time.

    Trinidad vs Vargas

    Watched some of the little guys today.

    Roman Gonzalez v Katsunari Takayama
    Pretty good fight, classic boxer versus puncher matchup. Takayama moved a lot and the flat footed Gonzalez had to a bit of chasing/hunting down. Gonzalez badly cut Takayama early on and hurt him pretty badly with big punches as the fight went on. Takayama should a lot of heart in surviving the 12 rounds.

    Funny moment in the 6th, the bell rang for the start of the round and Takayama sprinted across the ring at full pelt in an attempt to catch Gonzalez early :lol:. Gonzalez showed great composure as usual and just rode it out.

    Also watched Pongsaklek Wonjongkam v Julio Cesar Miranda.
    Another good fight, Pong was in control for most of the fight but Miranda didn't disgrace himself.

    Just watched Froch vs Taylor AGAIN

    I score it after 11 rounds level;

    9-10
    9-10
    8-10
    10-9
    9-10
    10-9
    9-10
    10-9
    10-9
    10-9
    10-9

    104-104, not sure how either fighter could be scored to be 4 rounds up, it was certainly within 2 rounds.

    James Toney - Iran Barkley

    Toney definitely benefited from the move up to 168.At 160 he took too many breathers on the ropes.His stamina had improved and in the middle of the ring he dominated the bigger but slower Barkley.Incredible ability to counter Toney had and the way he created the angles for his punches,amazing.I'd never tire of watching that James Toney

    I watched that today as well. Froch can easily be outboxed and will come unstuck against a pure boxer. I think Dirrell beats him to a UD. He got lucky though and the fact Taylor gassed again got him that win.

    Froch's a concern going against a pure boxer, he needs to use the jab more than he did against Taylor for starters.

    Adamek/Cunningham. Had it one point for Adamek. It's really too bad there will never be a rematch. FOTY for '08 and a very interesting tactical matchup.
