Eubanks vs. Collins - I think he fought well at times but I also think he could have done much more then what he showed.
JCC vs. Cabrera - Sure JCC completely dominated him but Cabrera was there for the taking.
Duran vs. Laing - WTF was that?
Morales vs. Zahir - Did Erik have any other plan besides looking for big punches?
Olivares vs. Hafey I & II - Poor showings by "El Puas" though on the decline he could have done a lot more.
ODLH vs. PBF - Not the night of the jab? WTF?
Kats vs. Diaz - Really dissapointed in Kats, he completely fought the wrong fight.
I disagree about Salvador Sanchez vs Patrick Ford say what you want about Ford, but he was tall and had a good jab, his height and reached bothered Sanchez and Sanchez struggled in the early rounds. But he comeback strong like a true champion in the later rounds, and showed his class i think it was a good performance personally, because he was losing and showed he could comeback from losing and adapt.
And I disagree with you, having just soundly beat Lopez 2 times and outboxed Chucho Castillo, he should have soundly beat Ford with ease. Instead he was still half asleep half way through the fight.
The one judge who had an obscene score was from Sanchez hometown of Santiago Tianguistenco in the Ring Mag. volume for that time they talk about this and how the judge was set up.
I'm not saying Sanchez lost the fight but I'm saying his follow up performance was shit.
The samy way I think Hattons follow up performances have been having beat Tszyu.
Sanchez having just beat Lopez was dissapoiting in this fight.
He did comeback, and that says it all he cameback from somewhere where he shouldn't have been.

Styles make fights Danny Lopez was a come forward bomber which played into Salvador Sanchez who was a counter puncher. Ruben Castillo used good movement and boxed well, but again he didn't have Ford's height or reach, remember Ford had 4 inch height advantage and 6 inch reach advantage..........

And he used his physical attributes very well and i thought he fought very smart fight, not allowing Sanchez to get inside and kept the fight at long range with his jab. Ford may have not achieved much in his career but that night he fought very well and Sanchez took him lightly, but Sanchez's legendary stamina once again come into play and he won majority of the later rounds winning by 2 rounds IMO.

I just think it was down to a bad style match up and Sanchez taking him lightly, but every great figher has atleast one fight where they struggle against lesser opposition. But Sanchez didn't disappoint me in that fight and i don't think it was a bad performance personally, but thats just my opinion may im bit biased because Sanchez is one of my favorites.
