It was the rare domestic bout with far reaching and possibly world level implications last night at Bolton Arena in Bolton, England and the European light middle title clash between champion Jamie Moore and Ryan Rhodes lived up to all expectations.
Southpaw Moore took the initiative in the early going, advancing on his older opponent and scoring with single shots that caught the normally fleet-footed switch-hitter.
Rhodes handled the pressure and punches well as he began to get the timing of Moore's efforts and answer back with return fire.
As the first few rounds began to develop into the middle frames, the action began to heat up with both men enjoying success but Moore continued to control the action, adding energy sapping body shots to his mix of offense. More...

British super bantamweight champion Jason Booth put together yet another sterling performance in turning back the comeback hopes of Michael Hunter last night at the Seaburn Centre in Sunderland, England on a Frank Maloney promotion.
31 year old southpaw Hunter was attempting to recapture the glory days of 2004-2006, over which he held the British, Commonwealth and European titles before losing a vacant IBF title bid to sharp Canadian Steve Molitor.
The Hartlepool man started strong once the bell rang, pressuring Nottingham based Booth, also 31, with a high work rate and had some success when the champion was put upon the ropes. More...

In one of the most shocking upsets of the year thus far, WBA super feather champ Jorge Linares was stopped in the first round by challenger Juan Carlos Salgado today at Yoyogi Gymnasium in Tokyo.
Both men came into the contest undefeated but Tokyo based Venezuelan Linares was a former WBC feather and current WBA super feather kingpin who had stopped his last six adversaries early and was expected to win big.
Mexico City based Salgado had turned away respectable competition such as Ivan Valle and Marcos Licona during his career but had not come close to facing a world class operator before this opportunity.
During the first round, Salgado caught Linares unaware with a full-blooded right hand that decked the champion. Linares was soon on his pants again after the next assault and while he beat the count, the Tokyo resident was declared to be in no shape to continue and the contest stopped at 1:13 of the frame.

Welshman Nathan Cleverly solidified his hold on the light heavyweight division in the UK by stopping former amateur star Courtney Fry in eight rounds last night at London's historic York Hall.
Fry, who has also fought as a cruiserweight, had the strength and skill to put up good resistance but at age 34, couldn't cope with the speed of University student Cleverly.
At 22, British and Commonwealth titlist Cleverly seems to be at the peak of his game and ripped Fry later in the bout with good combinations and bracing single shots.
Fry got through with a few good punches but Cleverly's chin held steady and he paid back the older man with far more in return. More...

On Saturday night at the Altrincham Leisure Centre in Manchester, England, lightweight John Murray won the division's biggest domestic showdown as he stopped Jon Thaxton in the fourth round.
Local hero Murray regained the British title he lost on the scales in June with one of his best performances to date.
Southpaw Thaxton came out strong and was controlling the pace early on but the much younger Mancunian simply waited to get the measure of his rival before going on the attack.
That took place in the third and by the fourth frame, Thaxton could no longer keep up with Murray and was taking a lot of punishment as a result. More...

WBA welter champ Vyacheslav Senchenko proved his title winning effort in April was no fluke as the 31 year old made his first defense on Saturday at Sportspalace Drusba in Donetsk.
Challenging Senchenko was Japanese visitor Motoki Sasaki, who brought a seven bout win streak to Donetsk.
Sasaki, a reigning OPBF champion from Tokyo, tried to take the fight to the taller champion but ate significant amounts of leather for his trouble.
The challenger was frustrated by his inability to pierce Senchenko's defense and had two points taken away in the sixth frame for headbutting. More...

"King" David Tua recaptured the crown of New Zealand boxing today when the former world heavyweight title challenger put an end to the aspirations of rugged Kiwi Shane Cameron at The Mystery Creek Events Centre in Hamilton.
It was well expected that Cameron would have to stick and move if he were to keep the much shorter and huge-punching Tua at arm's length and the 31 year old tried to do just that once the bell sounded.
But the far more experienced Tua knew how to negate Cameron's attempts and was soon putting dents into his opponent with big, booming shots.
Cameron was just about finished by the end of the the first round but was saved by the bell. No such luck came to his aid in the second as Tua simply picked up where he left off and the one-sided contest was mercifully halted. More...

Audley Harrison managed to rub some of the tarnish off his career last night by winning Prizefighter Heavyweights III at London's Excel Arena.
As usual among this series of three round extravaganzas, there were upsets galore as the original lineup of eight fighters went to work in the opening quarterfinal stage.
In a real shocker, British champion Danny Williams was floored twice by massive but inexperienced Sheffield southpaw Carl Baker, who survived Williams' desperate third round barrage to record a 29-26, 29-26 and 28-27 win.
Another surprise saw undefeated Irishman Coleman Barrett post a narrow verdict over far more seasoned former British champ Scott Gammer of Wales via scores of 29-28 on all three cards. More...

A battle for the WBA super flyweight belt was waged today at The Prefectural Gymnasium in Osaka, Japan.
Local hero Nobuo Nashiro was making the second title defense of his second WBA reign and faced Mexico's Hugo Fidel Cazares over twelve rounds.
Ex-WBO light flyweight kingpin Cazares was the more experienced man and brought a three bout win streak to Osaka following his hard fought but failed bid to unseat Ivan Calderon for the Los Mochis man's former title.
Once the bell rang, Cazares pressed the champion in an effort to take the result out of the judges' hands but after 12 rounds of give and take action, the fighters were too close to be separated on the cards, resulting in a 116-112, 114-114 and 112-116 draw.
Nashiro keeps his WBA title and goes to 13-1-1 (8), while Cazares returns to Mexico empty handed after a huge effort with his record now standing at 30-6-2 (22).

The WBC light heavyweight belt will remain in Montreal following Jean Pascal’s victory over Silvio Branco on Friday at the Bell Centre.
The bout ultimately ended at 2:19 in the 10th round when Branco’s trainer threw the towel after seeing his fighter knocked down and in bad form from Pascal’s strong hits to the head.
Pascal was able to knock down Branco twice in the tenth round with strong combinations to the Italian's upper body. This bout was a showcase for Pascal, who won the fight convincingly by throwing strong punches in close and using his speedy jab at points when the slower and less mobile Branco stepped out.
The 26-year-old Pascal won the WBC light heavyweight belt with a 12-round unanimous decision over rival Montreal fighter Adrian Diaconu on June 19. More...

Despite his 38 years, Vitali Klitschko remains firmly in control of the heavyweight division after battering brave but outgunned challenger Chris Arreola for ten rounds last night to retain the WBC title at Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Arreola stuck to his game plan of coming forward in the attempt to take away the towering champion's reach advantage but for a big man, Klitschko has excellent footwork, reflexes and boxing skills, nullifying almost everything the challenger could offer.
Using a pole axe-like jab, Klitschko made Arreola pay for each foot gained into enemy territory and on many occasions, the champ's very hard right hand followed in combination to great effect.
Arreola's main problem early on was he could not land anything of substance. That changed a bit in the middle rounds but Klitschko proved to be able to take Arreola's heavy artillery on the occasion when it connected and also punish the Californian afterward for his troubles. More...
