Boxing Results: A Weekend of Upsets

Posted by Enrique Olivieri
The weekends boxing results can be best described as a weekend of upsets. The upsets started on Friday night on SHOBOX as welterweight Vincent Arroyo (11-1, 7KO’s) dismantled the 6’4” Willie Nelson (16-1-1, 10KO’s) who had never tasted defeat prior to this fight. At 5’8” Arroyo was just too much for the taller Nelson, height had nothing to do with this fight. A very fast handed Arroyo who also has a solid chin dropped Nelson three times in the fight which I’m sure many gave him little chance of winning. Arroyo showed he’s as tough as they come in earning a unanimous decision.
In another “0” must go fight, NYC’s Gabriel “Tito” Bracero (15-0, 1KO) outpointed Danny O’Conner (14-1, 3KO’s) in a “no KO’s gonna happen fight”. Though it was an entertaining fight, there just wasn’t enough punching power to go around in this one. Bracero came in this fight as the underdog but showed through out the fight he was just the better fighter.
Marcus “Too Much” Johnson (20-1, 15KO’s) just wasn’t enough and didn’t have much to show as Dyah Davis (19-2-1, 9KO’s) as Davis won a unanimous ten round decision over him. Davis was another fighter on the same card to come in as an underdog but used his jab and more movement than anyone cared to see in this fight. What sealed the decision in this fight was a Davis body shot in round nine that dropped Johnson.
HBO PPV Boxing Results:
In the expected war, Marcos Maidana (30-2, 27KO’s) squeezed a majority decision over Erik Morales (51-7, 35KO’s) over twelve hard fought rounds. Maidana took an early lead in the fight but Morales as expected put himself right back into the fight in the later rounds. In round eight, Morales rocked the younger Maidana and had him hurt with a nasty left hook. As the fight entered into the championship rounds youth seemed to take over as Maidana was just more active. At the end of twelve rounds that remind all boxing fans what boxing is all about Maidana earned the majority decision.
Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (29-1-1, 18KO’s) made a tough fight look easy as he out skilled, out moved and out punched Michael Katsidis (27-4, 22KO’s) to win the WBA and WBO Interim lightweight and lightweight titles.
In the upset of this fight card, previously unbeaten knockout artist James Kirland (27-1, 24, KO’s) got a chance to taste some of his own medicine as he was demolished by Nobuhiro Ishida (23-6, 8KO’s) in the first round of a scheduled twelve rounder. Kirkland was dropped three times in this one sided beating before the fight was halted. The end came for Kirkland at 1:52 of round one.

Lucian Bute (28-0, 23 KO’s) added yet another knockout to his record last night when he stopped Brian Magee (34-4-1, 24 KO’s)in the 10th round at the Bell Centre in Montreal Canada to retain his IBF Super Middleweight Title. In the first two rounds, the two seemed to feel each other out, but in round three both landed well. By round four Bute had set his pace and started to execute his game plan. Magee was dropped in rounds six and seven via Bute’s body shots. The fight was all Bute, and it was called off by the referee at 2:04 of the tenth round. This was only the second time Magee has been stopped the other fighter able to stop this game fighter was UK’s Carl Froch.
Bute mentioned he’d like to fight Kessler in either Las Vegas or Madison Square Garden, Kessler responded to the statement by saying he’ll kick his ass even if it’s in Montreal, I think this fight should be made and who cares where they fight just put this fight together.

Boxing Results, The Weekend Wrap Up - Martinez KO’s Dzinziruk, Cotto stops Mayorga

Martinez KO’s Dzinziruk
Sergio Martinez (47-2-2, 26 KO’s) has again shown every boxing fan why he’s the best middleweight fighting today after he systematically beat formerly unbeaten Sergei Dziniruk (37-1, 23 KO’s) via an eighth round knockout Saturday night at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in CT.
From the first round Martinez the shorter of the two used his speed to outwork and out jab Dzinziruk. Martinez dropped Dzinziruk in the fourth, then again in the fifth. Martinez basically took Dzinziruk to boxing school, don’t get me wrong Dzinziruk was a game opponent and continued to try to land but Martinez’s speed and movement where just a bit too much for Dzinziruk. The end came at 1:43 of the eighth round after Martinez put Dzinziruk three times causing referee Steve Smoger to put an end to the fight.
In other action from Foxwoods on Saturday night, middleweight Andy Lee (25-1, 19 KO’s) did what boxing fans love to see, win with a come from behind knockout over previously unbeaten Craig McEwan (19-1, 10KO’s). McEwan controlled and dominated Lee in the first half of the fight with really nice combination punching, then as we’ve seen before in the sport of boxing the gas tank went empty and McEwan began to slow down and Lee began to press forward with urgency. Lee scored a knock down in round nine and finished McEwan in the tenth. The time of the stoppage was :56.
Cotto stops Mayorga
Miguel Cotto (36-2, 29KO’s) retained his WBA Super Welterweight Championship title via a knockdown/hand injury stoppage over the ever game Ricardo Mayorga (29-8-2, 23 KO’s) Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas NV. Cotto fought a really well disciplined fight against Mayorga. Cotto’s boxing skills where just a little better than Mayorga’s, who looked better than I can honestly say anyone expected. While both threw bombs at times during the fight, it was Cotto who’s punches where a bit sharper and had a little more thunder to them. You have to give Cotto credit for not accepting Mayorga’s attempts lure him into a slugfest. Not once in the fight did Cotto wither from Mayorga’s pressure, he seemed to have game plan and stuck to it.
After Cotto dropped Mayorga in the twelfth round, the only knockdown of the fight, Mayorga immediately began to complain about his left hand which seemed to be injured during the knockdown. Once he got up and as the fight resumed, Mayorga waived to referee Robert Byrd that he could not continue and the fight was stopped at :53 of the round.

Alvarez outguns Hatton and wins the Title

This event took place on 3/5/11 at the Honda Center in Anaheim California and was aired live on HBO
Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (36-0-1, 26KO’s) won the vancant WBO super welterweight title with one sided destruction over Matthew Hatton (41-5-2, 16 KO’s) in what will be considered as Alvarez’s arrival to the super middleweight division. At 20 years old Canela as he’s called punished Hatton for the entire 12 rounds. All three judges scored the fight 119-108 and that’s because Alvarez was deducted a point in the seventh round for hitting after the break. A very game Hatton did come to fight but had no answers and could do little against the 20 year old.
Alvarez has a very huge following and is being groomed for bigger names in the sport, he’s a fans dream, he’s the definition of an action fighter. During his post fight interview, he stated he’d like another two fights, then he said he’ll be ready for the bigger names in the division.
