this is one of the times I can say, I'm glad I was wrong about BCD and Tarver.. I figured that Lucky bastard would check his chin and steal glory one last time.. Havent seen the fight but Chad sounds like he redeemed himself after the Johnson fight he clearly lost..
I know its not the fighters fault when the judges rule in their favor when its controversial but I have had trouble in the past with letting that get to me.. Prime example Jermain Taylor.. The guy IMO lost 1 to B-HOP I thought Winky won and so did Spinks, I was afraid Dawson was gonna be the cable darling and get by on undeserved hype and being a poster boy like Taylor was last year..
BCD left little doubt about who he was and got a little education against Johnson, I just feel bad for Glen since he has gotten the shaft so many times, you think he deserved the close nod by now, dont know why I'm rambling but congrats Chad for dazzling tonight![]()
Let's keep thing in persepective. First, what Vitali did was truly remarkable. Second, Peter quit perhaps to fight another day, but didn't Vitali do the same against Byrd? I think slamming Peter for doing the same thing his oppenent did is a bit illogical. Peter took a beating, a bad one. His eye was closinbg and he was bleeding from the mouth. He was done. Vitali, rather than do what Danny Williams did against Mark Potter, quit rather than fight a feather-fisted foe.![]()
Marquez knocks out Morales
Hailing from the tough fighting town of Albuquerque, N.M., 20 year-old Archie Ray Marquez entered the contest having won all three of his professional bouts by way of knockout. His opponent, Sam Morales also entered the contest unbeaten in three bouts, though his were earned in the Midwest—a far cry from the proving grounds of the Southwest.
Entering the four-round lightweight bout, Morales sported an obvious height and reach advantage, which Marquez quickly took away by cutting off the ring and dictating the pace of the bout. Landing his shots sparingly, Morales managed only to hang tough and take Marquez, who had spent a total of 4:41 in the ring during his first three bouts, into the final round for the first time.
Once they arrived in the fourth and final round, Marquez finally found pay dirt for his heavy hand landing a crushing right hand to the body that dropped Morales where he stood. Grimacing in pain Morales spit out his mouthpiece and stayed on his knees until the count reached ten and the bout was waved off at :42.
Marquez (4-0, 4 KOs) used good footwork and heavy hands to control the pace and place in which the bout went en route to a victory over the game Morales (3-1, 1 KO) whose more obvious combination was that of leopard print short and bright red shoes.

I didn't read the whole thread, so sorry if this has been discussed, but how did Peter get it into his head that it was a good idea to box from the outside? I'm not saying he would have won otherwise, but that fight plan gave him almost zero chance of winning!
They kept yelling "jab" and "don't wait". Jab yes, but as a way in, so you can make it a physical/awkward brawl. Made no sense to me...
Dawson's performance was exactly what i expected from him.
He fought a smart fight.....outboxed and outworked Tarver throwing dazzling combos that didn't always land but were eye catching to the judges and kept Tarver at bay.
He also showed improved defense, Tarver didn't really land much at all.
