Review: 2002-11-16, Erik Morales vs Paulie Ayala was certainly one of the best boxing fights of 2002. Erik “El Terrible” Morales had just lost his first fight and the WBC featherweight title against Marco Antonio Barrera, but he chose an opponent not very easy: Paulie Ayala. For Ayala was the first fight in the featherweight division but he was one of the strongest boxers of that time, who had lost only once (against Joichiro Tatsuyoshi in Japan) but who had already won several world titles in the bantam and super bantam division.

Review: the best fight of the Bellator 36 has been Patricky Freire vs Rob McCullough. Freire dominates the first round, leading to the ground McCullough, but the american fighter always seems calm, and in fact in the last seconds turns the tables. In the second round, which for us ends in a draw, the two fighters prefer to fight standing, throwing heavy punches…four stars for the fight between ‘Pitbull’ Freire and Rob McCullough – Bellator 36. Watch the video!
Review: Mike Zambidis vs Ali Gunyar has been an exciting fight! Zambidis fights always in a very aggressive way taking a high pace, and these are the fighting that we prefer: action, pace and technique; Gunyar also fought well, working a lot with the low kick. Four stars for Zambidis vs Gunyar, main event of Iron Challenge. Watch the video!
Review: 2002-01-26, the first fight between Vernon Forrest and Shane Mosley was one of the best fights of 2002. Both boxers had the same age and also a perfect record with no defeats, 38-0-0 for Mosley e 33-0-0 for Forrest, but Vernon “The Viper” Forrest boasted a greater height (8 cm). Vernon Forrest vs Shane Mosley 1 was valid for the WBC welterweight title, won by “Sugar” Shane in 2000 when he fought against Oscar De La Hoya. After this first exciting fight between Vernon Forrest and Shane Mosley, it was organized a rematch in the same year but it was less spectacular. Watch the video!
Review: 2002-09-14, Oscar De La Hoya vs Fernando Vargas was valid for three world titles of the light middleweight division, in fact De La Hoya was the champion for the WBC, while Vargas for the WBA and IBA. Oscar De La Hoya had already lost two times, once against Shane Mosley and the other one with Felix Trinidad (who had also already won against Fernando Vargas). Both boxers had a very spectacular way to fight even if different, and therefore could only be an exciting fight. Watch the video!
Review: 2002-09-07, one of the best boxing fights of 2002 was Roy Jones Jr vs Clinton Woods. Both boxers had in their record only one defeat, but the American had lost for a disqualification against Montell Griffin (in fact in the rematch Roy Jones Jr won by Ko in the first round), however, Woods was a solid fighter, younger than 3 years and had an advantage in terms of reach and height (8cm). Roy Jones Jr vs Clinton Woods was a real defense of the undisputed world champion of the light heavyweight division, in fact there were 7 titles at stake (WBF, WBC, IBF, WBA, IBO, IBA, NBA).

Finally everything is ready for the big event of k-1 and muay thai Oktagon 2011, scheduled for Saturday, March 12 in Milan (Italy), where the main fight will be Giorgio Petrosyan vs Alexandre Cosmo, another tough fighter for Petrosyan after the fight versus Sudsakorn Sor Klinmee. In the last days has also been confirmed the presence of Sudsakorn Sor Klinmee that, eliminated by the organizers of the Isuzu Cup (for his fight at Thai Boxe Mania), will face Xu Yan (from China). Instead Fabio Pinca is no longer in the fight card, which will be replaced by Angelo Campoli in the fight against Andrei Kulebin. But in the same evening we will see also two other world-class fights: Yoshihiro Sato vs Armen Petrosyan and Dzhabar Askerov vs
Saturday, March 12, is scheduled one of the best boxing’s events of 2011, especially for highly spectacular fighting in the fight card. The main fight will be Miguel Angel Cotto vs Ricardo Mayorga, valid for the WBA Super World light middleweight title: Cotto is the number one in his category (light middleweight boxrec ranking) and in his last fight, against Foreman, seemed to have regained the explosiveness and power of former times, instead Mayorga, though he is not ranked at the top of the class, is always a spectacular and dangerous fighter. But in the same evening will fight also Leonardo Zappavigna vs Miguel Vazquez, two very young (class 1987) and spectacular boxers that will fight for
Review: 4 stars for the best fight of the K-1 event It’s Show Time 46.
