What a weekend... Mayweather TKO10 Well masterful performance by Floyd in a competitive fight. Lacy UD I was so confident, that Lacy would beat Tarver, but after seeing how slow and predictable Lacy has become, I think Tarver might have the skills to eak out a decision even at 39. Manfredo wasted a golden opportunity, but as Steward said Manfredo had no self-confidence, and if Tarver has one thing in abundance it is delusion, sorry self-confidence. Ponce UD Poor performance from Kenny Bayless, who constantly warned the wrong fighter, otherwise a workmanlike performance by Ponce against an opponent, who possessed good skills, but would likely have gotten KTFO had he tried to make a stand. Guess it depends on your mentality, Escobedo was happy to last the distance. Cherry TKO6 Talk about lacking strength and self-confidence. Substance over style. Duddy UD Eastman Eastman´s legs didn´t really look steady all night, but the crafty vet still made it a fight on the inside and made Duddy miss a lot. If Duddy can´t handle this Eastman, they really need to be very cautious with him or cash out big. Khan TKO1 Earl Probably the best performance of Khan´s career, still don´t trust his chin or defense. Asloum UD Reveco Finally Asloum came through in his 3rd or 4th attempt to win a world title, that probably cost his promoter a lot of cash in the process. Abraham TKO5 Elcock One blow away from another killer knockout the ref steppped in front of a Elcock, who was out on his feet. Still don´t know what to make of the Post-Miranda Abraham. His caoch urged him to be more active early, but Abraham seemed hesitant to pull the trigger, but he still has the big equalizer and ruined Elcock quickly, when he had him hurt. Williams NC Platov Really fun slugfest, that was ruined by the cut to Platov. Danny Williams is the british Hasim Rahman, you never know what you get, although Platov looked in command before the cut.
I thought the undercard to the big one tonight was complete and utter garbage. I don't know what fight the judges were watching in the Ponce / Escobedo fight, but the scores of 117-111 and 118-110 were way off the mark.
Khan was very impressive thought Earl would be a good test but he didn't get going and you couldn't knock how he won brilliant! Though I agree still don't think he has a good chin, if Limond can rock you he will be in trouble when he steps up to the world stage. Eastman needs to knock it on the head too.
