Andre Berto vs. Michael Trabant:
Very good performance by Berto he put his punches together as usual. Moved well, Michael was game but was clearly out gunned the whole night. From the start you could tell it was only a matter of time before he was stopped. One thing that's good about Berto is that he always looks focused. I mean for the entire fight every round Berto looked like a sniper. The combinations he threw looked blazing fast in person.. Those uppercuts and hooks he threw were sickening fast. Now if only he could get more power in them.

Overall a good step up fight for Berto and something tells me 2008 will be a make' em or break' em year for him.

Here are some pictures...

Right on Mick,Berto looks to have evolved a little and Showed tremendous arsenal,Very fast upper body and very nice accuracy. I think his legs and footwork will need the work next.He Just looks so heavy on the front.....led feet?Had the perfect opponent who just seemed content to play the sponge role. When He gets backed up I think he'll have some problems but he's still building.Imo,still not ready for Tony and the top teir guys.

Paul Williams vs. Carlos Quintana:
(WBO Championship)
As the fight took off and Carlos won the 1st two rounds straight the talks in the crowd was how in the hell is Carlos catching Paul with that left?
One thing that a guy behind us said was 'From the 3rd round and on it's gonna be all Paul'.... I believed him even after that 3rd round since Paul won that round... Even rounds 4,5 & 6 were pretty close but even then I think Carlos won at least one of those 3 rounds. He landed the harder cleaner punches throughout the whole night tagging Paul with crips lefts and rights. Something that just really impressed me and left me at awww!
Was Carlos cutting Paul over BOTH eyes.... I mean really by show of hands who here thought Williams would end up bloody with 2 cut eyes and a mouse under one of the eyes?
It was an exciting fight from round 1 all the way to 12 rounds....

Mad props to Quintana I mean really this dude fought his ass off... He stuck it out and took Pauls best shots. Moved and circled around picking his shots... One thing I noticed a alot was how easily Quintana picked off Pauls shots with his left glove. Pauls punches were looping which is strange cause if you see the Margarito fight he threw straigh crisp punches but here against Carlos he was looping and as I've said long ago he slaps his punches. While Carlos threw every shot with conviction and bad intensions.

The Puerto Rican crowd was crazy and kept chanting Indio! Indio! Indio!
As the fight went on. (Indio is Carlos nickname means Indian)
Very humble in their win...

All in all a great night in boxing and what a fight what a result.....

Thanks for sharing all of this with us!

The one thing I hate about living in Ohio, is not being able to easily go to see great fights, so I appreciate it when those that can go, share their experience with us.


Have some rep on me.
