Review:2001-06-23, Manny Pacquiao vs Lehlohonolo Ledwaba was the first fight of Pacquiao in the USA and was certainly one of the best fight of 2001. Manny Pacquiao was 22 years old and had a record of 32 wins and 2 losses (with Torrecampo in 1996 and Singsurat in 1999) and that day against Ledwaba, he fought for the IBF super bantamweight title.

Review: 2001-03-02, the fight between Pongsaklek Wonjongkam and Malcolm Tunacao is not the best fight of the year since it is too short, but the first round it is definitely the best round of boxing of 2001. On March 2, 2001, Pongsaklek Wonjongkam was not even 23 years old, but he had a record of 38 wins and 2 defeats, while Tunacao had only 12 fights, but with no loss. Wonjongkam versus Tunacao was valid for the WBC flyweight title. Watch the video!
Review: 2001-03-24, Oscar De La Hoya vs Arturo Gatti, for us, was the fight of the year of 2001. De La Hoya, nine months before, had lost against Shane Mosley and absolutely needed a win to move closer to a world title, Gatti, instead, did not suffer any loss in the two previous years. Oscar De La Hoya and Arturo Gatti were two boxers very technical and spectacular that could not give us an exciting fight. Watch the video!
Oktagon 2011, scheduled for March 12 in Milan (Italy), will be on of the best k-1 & muay thai events of the year as the main event will see Giorgio Petrosyan vs Alexandre Cosmo. Petrosyan, having recently fought against Sudsakorn Sor. Klinmee at Thai Boxing Mania, has decided to face another tough fighter: Alexandre Cosmo, Wako Pro World Champion and finalist in the King’s Cup 2010 in Bangkok (Thailand) where he was defeated by Yodsanklai Fairtex. But there will not be only the two-time k-1 world max champion, other top-level fighter will fight in Milan: Fabio Pinca vs Andrei Kulebin, Khalid Bourdiff vs Marcus Oberg, Dzabar Askerov vs Chris van Venrooij, and Xu Yan vs Adem Bozkurt. But always on 12 March we will see another world-class fight between Armen Petrosyan and Yoshihiro Sato!

Review: 2000-04-29, aggressive start, three knockdowns and a tremendous knockout: four stars. Michael Grant, 7 years younger than the champion, was undefeated, even though he had never met anyone of the level of Lewis. Lennox Lewis entered the fight with a record of 35-1-1 while Michael Grant had a perfect record of 31-0-0. Lewis vs Grant was valid for the WBC, IBF and IBO heavyweight titles. Watch the video!
Review: 2000-12-02, both undefeated, both world champions, both went to the mat (six knockdowns!): Trinidad vs Vargas was one of the best boxing fights of 2000. Felix Trinidad entered the fight with a record of 38-0-0 while Fernando Vargas had a record of 20-0-0. Trinidad vs Vargas was valid for the WBA and IBF light middleweight titles. Watch the video!
Review: 2000-01-29, Mike Tyson vs Julius Francis was certainly one of the best fights of 2000, as many fighting of Iron Mike. In January 2000, when he faced Julius Francis (21-7-0), Mike Tyson (46-3-0) had already lost against James Buster Douglas and twice with Evander Holyfield, but at 33 years old he seemed still have the desire and the anger of the past.
