Review: 2003-03-08, the fight between Corrie Sanders and Wladimir Klitschko lasts less than five minutes but these two rounds are very spectacular. The younger Klitschko had already lost once (against Ross Puritty in 1998) but in this fight he was the favorite since he was defending his WBO heavyweight title, for the sixth time, and Sanders did not seem an opponent too hard to beat, as the most dangerous boxer he faced was Hasim Rahman, with which he had lost. With four knockdowns in just four minutes, Corrie Sanders vs Wladimir Klitschko, gets deservedly our four stars (after this match also Vitali Klitschko fights against Sanders). Watch the video!
Review: Brad Solomon successfully defended his WBA International welterweight title against Demetrius Hopkins in a fight not very spectacular. Watch the video!
Review: technical fight but not very exciting between Lucian Bute and Brian Magee. In the central round Bute punches hard Magee to the body that is counted, but the final blow of the Ko comes at the tenth round. Watch the video!
Review: boring fight that ends due to injury in the fifth round. Ola Afolabi won the vacant WBO Inter-Continental cruiserweight title versus Lubos Suda. Watch the video:
Review: Rigondeaux proved too strong for the English William Casey, the Cuban wins without too much trouble by Ko in the first round (Casey down three times). Guillermo Rigondeaux vs Willie Casey was valid for the interim WBA World super bantamweight title. Watch the video!
Review: Vitali Klitschko won too easily at the first round against Odlanier Solis. Where was the Cuban phenomenon last night? It’s almost hard to believe that an undefeated boxer as Solis, three time gold medalist at the World Amateur Boxing Championships and once at the Olympics, goes down in this way. Watch the video!
Review: 2003-06-07, the third and final fight between Arturo Gatti and Micky Ward was one of the best boxing fights of 2003 (and was named Ring Magazine fight of the year 2003). Gatti had lost the first fight against Ward, but then he won the rematch: two of the most spectacular fights of 2002. In this third chapter Arturo Gatti broke his right hand during the fourth round, but even with a single hand he managed to finish the fight; this will be also the last fight of Micky Ward.

Review: second fight and second knockout victory for James Kirkland after two years spent in prison. Kirkland and Berrio exchanged heavy blows but at the second round Berrio goes down. Watch the video:
Review: 2003-06-28, Joe Calzaghe vs Byron Mitchell gets our five stars mainly for the second round that could be appointed “round of the year”. For the thirteenth time Calzaghe defended his WBO super middleweight title against American Byron Mitchell, who had been world champion for the WBA in previous years. Mitchell is the first boxer who knockdown the “Italian Dragon” Calzaghe (he will go down also with Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones Jr a few years later), but Calzaghe has always raised….

Review: 2003-01-25, Ricardo Mayorga vs Vernon Forrest 1 was one of the most spectacularboxing fights of 2003. Mayorga was the champion for the WBA welterweight division, but the boxer to beat was Forrest, as he was undefeated in 35 fights and he came with two wins against Shane Mosley. But in boxing, and especially against a fighter like Ricardo “El Matador” Mayorga, the result is never predictable…We are only sure that the first fight Forrest vs Mayorga, ended by TKO in the third round, was one of the most exciting of 2003 (after six months it was held the second fight and Mayorga won by majority decision).
