This past Saturday night, September 15th 2018, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (50-1-2, 34 KO’s) somehow escaped with the victory, as he defeated Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (38-1-1, 34 KO’s) via majority decision to become the new WBA/WBC/Ring Middleweight Champion. The night started off with the return of Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez (47-2, 39 KO’s) as he easily defeated Moises Fuentes (25-5-1, 14 KO’s) via KO in the 5th round. Gonzalez mauled Fuentes for 5 rounds, and finally in the fifth, recorded the knockout. Fuentes was completely overmatched with skill, speed and power, and Gonzalez imposed his will for nearly 5 rounds.

The second fight of the evening was a very short one. David Lemieux (40-4, 34 KO’s) put himself back in the title hunt as he defeat Gary “Spike” O’Sullivan (28-3, 20 KO’s) with a vicious KO in the very first round. There wasn’t much to say about this one, except Spike O’Sullivan just could not take Lemieux’s power, and he was disposed of quickly. In the 3rd battle of the evening, Jaime Mungia (30-0, 25 KO’s) defeated Brandon Cook (20-2, 13 KO’s) in another quick one, as he stopped Cook in the third round of their fight. Mungia successfully defended his new WBO Junior Middleweight title, and will no doubt be looking for the biggest fight possible, even though he is still only 21 years of age.

The main event was yet another disappointment for Gennady Golovkin, as he fought hard once again against Canelo Alvarez, and even though the final punch stats were in his favor again, he does not get the victory for the second straight fight. Both fighters started off cautious in the 1st round, trying to find their range and gauge their opponent. The first 4 rounds were very hard to score and pretty even by anyones standards. Golovkin would take over the fight in the middle rounds, as Canelo seemed to fade a bit. Golovkin landed a few vicious right hands that seemed to bother Canelo, but again it wouldn’t be enough to convince the judges he won. GGG had a great round 10 and 11, but Canelo came on strong in the 12th. The final scores were 114-114 (Feldman), 115-113 (Moretti) in favor of Canelo, and 115-113 (Weisfeld) in favor of Canelo. I score the fight 115-113 for Golovkin. I feel compelled to note that just as in the first fight which was a draw, Golovkin outlanded Canelo by a pretty healthy margin in this fight as well, but he comes away with a draw and now a loss. Never the less, Alvarez is now the unified WBA/WBC/TheRing middleweight champion.

Porter Edges Out Win Against Garcia

Last night on ShowTime Championship Boxing, we had a wild triple header of action. The first fight of the evening was the most exciting heavyweight bout since Wilder VS Ortiz, and it was a wild one, as Adam Kownacki (18-0, 14 KO’s) defeated Charles Martin (25-2-1, 23 KO’s) via unanimous decision. Kownacki came out throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Martin, as he is known to throw punches in bunches, which is rare for a heavyweight. By the third round, Martin looked like he was out of gas, but would come back strong in the 7th and 8th rounds. The final round was wild, as Martin was badly stunned by a left hook and looked like he was going down. In the final minute, Martin landed a big shot of his own which stunned Kownacki, but it would not be enough. Kownacki wins by unanimous decision.

The second fight of the evening was a completely one sided affair, as Yordenis Ugas (23-3, 11 KO’s) defeated Cesar Barionuevo (34-4-2, 24 KO’s) in a clean sweep on the scorecards. Ugas’ defense was impenetrable as Barionuevo looked completely lost in his US debut. Ugas pretty much picked him apart for 12 rounds, en route to a unanimous decision victory. He is now the mandatory contender for a welterweight world title, with the fight ending in scores of 119-109/120-108/120-108.

The main event was a barn burner, as Shawn Porter (29-2-1, 17 KO’s) narrowly defeated Danny Garcia (34-2, 19 KO’s) to become the new WBC Welterweight champion. Porter started the fight trying to box from the outside, which is not really his game, and as soon as Garcia landed a big shot in the second round, Porter became Porter. Porter would smother Garcia with his annoying in your face style, not giving Garcia any room to punch, and took the middle rounds, which ultimately was the reason he would win the fight. Garcia would come on strong in the end of the fight, landing clean shots on Porter as he was able to create some separation, and fight his fight. Garcia was clearly the more effective and accurate puncher, but was badly outworked by Porter, which the judges ultimately favored. Porter threw almost 280 more punches then Garcia, even though the landed punches were almost identical.

The final scores of the fight were 116-112/115-113/115-113 all in favor of Porter, simply because he was the busier man, and not at all the more effective puncher. I scored the fight 114-114 which was the same as Steve Farhood’s unofficial score, and also the correct one. Never the less, Shawn Porter takes home the gold, and sets up a potential bout with Errol Spence Jr to unify the WBC and IBF Welterweight titles.

Pedraza Defeats Beltran In Dramatic Fashion

Last night on Top Rank Boxing on ESPN, we had a triple header of action, and it definitely did not disappoint. Jose Pedraza (25-1, 12 KO’s) defeated Raymundo Beltran (35-8-1, 21 KO’s) in a 12 round slobber knocker with a dramatic finish. Issac Dogboe (20-0, 14 KO’s) trampled Hidenori Otake (31-3-3, 14 KO’s), and if you blinked, you missed it. Dogboe nailed Otake with a huge left hook in the first, for the first knockdown of the fight. Later in the round, a right hand sent Otake down again, as his glove touched the canvas, and towards the end of the round, a barrage of punches forced the referee to stop the fight. Dogboe called out all the champions after the bout, asking them not to doge him. The 23 year old, was more then successful with his 1st round knockout title defense.

Mexico VS Puerto Rico did not disappoint yet again. Pedraza looked to be in complete control through the first 4 round of the fight, switching back and forth between orthodox and southpaw, and sticking his long jab in the face of Beltran. In the middle rounds, Pedraza seemed to tire a bit, and it became Beltrans fight. Ray had Pedraza at close quarters, which is what he wanted, pinning him against the rope time and time again. In the 11th round however, things would shift dramatically. The fight seemed pretty even until Beltran walked right into a perfectly timed uppercut, which sent him crashing down to the canvas. Pedraza landed the perfect punch at the perfect time, and from that point on, the fight was out of Beltran’s reach on the scorecards. The final tallies were 117-110/117-110/115-112 all in favor for Jose Pedraza. He is now a 2 division champion, with the only blemish being the loss to Gervonta Davis.
