Re: Masterful performances.
Lewis vs. Tua- Tua never got into that fight at all.
Ward vs. Dawson- Dawson just did not have it and Ward had it all.
Holmes vs. Cooney- Holmes just mowed down a strong opponent. Just kept on mowing him down. Cooney was never in that fight at any point. Just brilliant execution by Holmes.
Mercer vs. Morrison- from the second round, I knew Mercer was baiting Morrison in. It only could have ended in KO by the time you got into the middle of the third. Just a matter of time. Mercer set him up beautifully.

Re: Masterful performances.
One of my all time favorites: Buddy McGirt schooling murderous punching Simon Brown. When I think of masterful performances, I picture skill and nuances (setting traps, adapting, ring generalship...etc.) possessed only by skilled fighters. Buddy showed the whole tool box the night he dominated a still dangerous/prime Brown.
