Review: 2011-11-09, high pace fight, very close to our 4 stars, between Lee Purdy and Colin Lynes at the York Hall in London. Lee Purdy was the favorite of the fight but Colin Lynes knocks down him in the tenth and wins a great match by majority decision. Purdy (16-2-1) entered as the No.19 welterweight in the world while Colin Lynes (35-9-0) entered as the No.50. Purdy vs Lynes was valid for the British welterweight title. Watch the video!

2011 BOXING fight – Takahiro Ao vs Devis Boschiero – full fight Video WBC title
Review: 2011-11-06, balanced fight but not good for eight rounds but from the ninth Devis Boschiero surprisingly has more energy than the defending champion Takahiro Ao, the Italian wins the latest four rounds but inexplicably two judges give the win to the Japanese. Takahiro Ao (21-2-1) entered as the No.3 super featherweight in the world while Devis Boschiero (29-0-1) entered as the No.59 (but after this fight, even if the Italian lost it, he is ranked No.19, probably someone noticed the error of the judges). Takahiro Ao vs Boschiero was valid for the WBC super featherweight title. Watch the video!
