Post fight Analysis: Bermane Stiverne vs Chris Arreola: Stiverne by TKO round 6


   What a great heavyweight fight it was. I haven't seen such a great match in heavyweight division for some time. Bermane "B.WARE" Stiverne was outworked by Chris "the Nightmare" Arreola for few first rounds, but he turned the fight on round 6 when he dropped Arreola twice with huge power shots and referee stopped the fight to save Arreola from further damage.
 
   Now we have a new WBC heavyweight champion of the world. And Bermane Stiverne really deserves that. The idea was that the winner of this fight will face hard hitting undefeated knockout artist Deontay Wilder, but Stivernes promoter Don King didn't mention this fight after his fighter won the title.

   It looks like Don King wants to hold this belt as long as possible and to make as much money as possible before matching Stiverme with someone dangerous for the title. And those dangerous fighters are already willing to give a shot at the new champion. Vladimir Klitchko said that he is interested in fighting Bermane, Doentay Wilder is the first mandatory challenger....

Post fight Analysis: Amir Khan vs Luis Collazo: Khan by UD


   Amir Khan performed very effective but not impressive against 33 years old southpaw Luis Collazo last Saturday night in MGM Grand, Las Vegas. Khan won the fight by unanimous decision and in my opinion he won every round, but his boxing was far from great.
 
   Judges scored the fight 104-119, 104-119 and 106-117 for Amir Khan. I thought that Khan will win this fight by a knockout and Luis Collazo gave him every chance for that, but Khan failed. 

   He was able to drop Collazo in 4th. and twice in 10th. but was unable to finish him.  Khan tried, I mean he really tried, he pressured stunned Collazo on the ropes and started to throw his furies but was unable to land anything clean and his punches looked like the ones with no power.

   That was an ugly fight to watch. As Khan was holding more than Vladimir Klitchko against Alexander Povetkin. And Collazo was so angry about that that he even checked if Amir Khan is a man or a woman as he hurt Khan 3 times under the belt line during the fight. 

   Referee had to take 1 point from both fighters as Khan was holding and clinching all the time and Collazo was checking Khans gender in answer....

Post fight Analysis:Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Marcos Rene Maidana: Mayweather by MD


   Unbeaten boxing legend and pound-for-pound king American Floyd Mayweather Jr. stays unbeaten after a win by majority decision over hard hitting Argentine Marcos Rene Maidana. Judges scored 116-112, 117-111 and 114-114 for Mayweather. I had it 116-112 for Mayweather. It was a 46th. victory in a row and now Floyd has a perfect (46-0(26 KO) record.
 
   There were some boxing writers and experts that gave victory for Maidana, but in my opinion they were watching some other fight.  Maidana came strong and gave big pressure for the first four rounds. He had Floyd on the ropes for the majority of time, but was landing little clean and was punished with  short clean counters.
    After the 4th. round Maidana started to look tired of that pressure fighting and he was completely outboxed by Mayweather from the distance.

    It looked almost impossible for Maidana to land anything from the distance. Floyd was able to block or to escape every single punch, meanwhile he was landing his lead right hands, jabs or even combinations to the body and head of Maidana at will.

   I mean the speed deference was outstanding....
