Review: 2011-04-09, Guerrero vs Katsidis was the best fight of the last week end and one of the best boxing fight of 2011. Robert Guerrero entered the fight with a record of 28-1-1 (his only career loss has been to Gamaliel Diaz in 2005, via split decision) while Michael Katsidis had a record of 27-3-0 (he comes from the defeat against Juan Manuel Marquez, four-stars fight in 2010).

Review: 2011-04-02, Phetchartshy Chaoraiooy vs Nongballlek Kaiyanghadaogym is an exciting muay thai fight between two young Thai fighter. After three rounds full of action, Phetchartshy knocks Nongballlek out with a perfect left hook in the fourth round. Watch the video!
Golden Boy Promotions, Universum Box-Promotion and Box Latino organized a boxing event that is expected to be very spectacular, whose main event is the fight valid for the interim WBA World light welterweight title between Marcos Rene Maidana and Erik Morales. “El Chino” Maidana is one of those boxers that nobody wants to face, has a record of 29 wins (with 27 Ko) and two defeats, one against Andriy Kotelnik and the last one versus Amir Khan, but the Argentine boxer has not never lost really, since both fights (especially in Germany against Kotelnik) were very questionable decisions. I think that for “El Terrible” Morales this fight was the wrong choice, the Mexican boxer is
The MMA event more interesting of the weekend (Saturday, April 9) is organized by Strikeforce, which main event is Nick Diaz vs Paul Daley. Diaz (24-7-0) doesn’t lost since 2007 and defends for the third time his Strikeforce welterweight title (his second defense, against Evangelista “Cyborg” Santos, is one of the best MMA fights of 2011), but the American fighter has to be careful because Daley (27-9-2) is a very dangerous opponent with 20 fights on 27 won by knockout. In the same evening there will be also the Strikeforce lightweight title at stake between Gilbert Melendez and Tatsuya Kawajiri: “El Nino” Melendez (18-2-0) is
The most important event of k-1 and muay thai of the week is the W5 Grand Prix KO: four man tournament (K-1 rules, 71 kg), scheduled for April 9 in Moscow. In the first semifinal we will see Mike Zambidis vs Enriko Gogokhia, while in the other semifinal Dzhabar Askerov vs William Diender. The favorite of the tournament should be Zambidis since it has already won against Askerov in 2009 and comes from the important victory versus Ali Gunyar (one of the best k-1 and muay thai fight of 2011). Attention also to Diender that has recently won against Rachid Belaini (another very nice fight), and to
Review: the first fight between Jorge Arce and Hussein Hussein was a real battle. Since 2001 “El Travieso” Arce was the holder of the WBC light flyweight title but this time he fought for the first time in the flyweight division (in fact the fight against Hussein was valid for the WBC Flyweight Title Eliminator). Instead, “Hussy” Hussein had always fought in the flyweight and super flyweight division, but the only time he had fought for a world title he lost (against Pongsaklek Wonjongkam in 2003).

Review: Miguel Angel Cotto vs Ricardo Torres was a very exciting fight, in almost every round there is a knockdown! Both boxers had never lost, they were of the same age and had many victories for Ko, however, Cotto had more experience at international level and in this fight he defended his WBO light welterweight title for the fourth time, instead for Torres this was his first fight in the United States and for a world title. Watch the video!
Review: the first fight between Diego Corrales and Jose Luis Castillo has deservedly won the award for the fight of the year of 2005. Corrales came from the victory against Acelino Freitas (one of the best fights of 2004) in which he won the WBO lightweight title, instead Castillo held the WBC lightweight title, which he had won in 2004 (against Juan Lazcano) and who had successfully defended twice. Diego Corrales vs Jose Luis Castillo 1 was therefore a very important fight (valid for both WBC and WBO lightweight titles) and it was really spectacular, especially the tenth round when both fighters went to the canvas… Watch the video!
Review: 2011-03-26, Richard Hale vs Nik Fekete was a fight too short to be judge, but we want to give our 4 stars because Richard Hale wins the fight with one of the best submission of 2011 (inverted triangle choke). Watch the video!
Review: 2011-04-02, great start with both fighters went to the canvas, but the fight goes on and it becomes a real war: four stars for the spectacular fight between Hernan “Tyson” Marquez and Luis “El Nica” Concepcion; unfortunately the pace slows down a little bit between the sixth and ninth round, if not it could be a candidate for Fight of the Year 2011. Hernan Marquez entered the fight with a record of 29-2-0 while Luis Concepcion had a record of 22-1-0. Marquez vs Concepcion is valid for the WBA World flyweight title. Watch the video!
