Boxing is the theatre of the unexpected and this past weekend we saw two of the game's promising champions upset as WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto and WBO featherweight king Juan Manuel Lopez both fell to brave Mexicans in dramatic fashion. Berto was edged over twelve wild, knockdown-filled rounds by 24-year old Victor Ortiz while miles away on the island of Puerto Rico Lopez would be upended by former champion Orlando Salido, who dropped him hard in the 5th round before finishing him off controversially in the 8th.

Victor Ortiz is still basking in the glow of his dramatic twelve round decision victory over previously undefeated Andre Berto, a performance that netted him the WBC welterweight championship of the world. Trading knockdowns with Berto to the crowd's delight at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut, Ortiz's dogged aggression and cleaner punching paved the way to a unanimous decision in a huge upset in what will go down as one of the year's best fights.

It's hard to understate the electricity created by welterweight hopefuls Victor Ortiz and Andre Berto last night. Squaring off inside of the MGM Grand Theatre of Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut, the 24-year old Ortiz pulled off a very unlikely victory in dropping Berto twice on his way towards an action-packed twelve round triumph.

It has been a week now since Marcos Maidana's thrilling victory over Erik Morales inside of the MGM Grand. Maidana-Morales was a memorable affair, one typified by Morales' ability to turn back the clock as well as the sheer effort and will of Maidana, who found a way to pull out the victory despite not looking his best.

During a quick break at last weekend's 'Action Heroes' card at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, I ran into good friend and welterweight hopeful Rashad Holloway. It had been a while since Holloway and I touched bases and a lot has been going on with him. Holloway was in town to check out his stablemate Paulie Malignaggi, who went on to defeat Jose Miguel Cotto over ten rounds, and gave me and update on everything with his life.

This past weekend junior welterweight prospect Jesse Vargas produced one of his biggest victories as a pro in stopping former champion Vivian Harris after one round of action. Facing off with the Guyana fighter inside of Buffalo Bills in nearby Primm, Nevada, Vargas went on the attack very early and left no room for error as he mercilessly landed punches in combination, leaving Harris with no choice but to remain on his stool after three minutes of pain.

On Thursday, news broke that former welterweight champion Kermit Cintron has officially inked a deal with Bob Arum's Top Rank promotions. The signing is very significant, as Top Rank has a seemingly endless list of foes that Cintron could be facing, as he has migrated between 147 and 154 pounds in recent years.

In Los Angeles, the world's number one fighter, Manny Pacquiao, is preparing himself for battle inside of the Wild Card Boxing Club as his May 7th fight with Shane Mosley draws near. While some have disregarded Mosley as a formidable opponent, there is no denying Pacquiao's drawing power, as the MGM Grand in Las Vegas is already completely sold out for the WBO welterweight title fight.

•Apr 14, 2011

During the lead up to the May 7th Manny Pacquiao-Shane Mosley fight I had been keeping tabs with Mosley's trainer Naazim Richardson, a man always full of some kind of insight. From claiming that Shane was going to shock the masses by 'smashing' Pacquiao to calling the Filipino superstar the 'Rubik's Cube of boxing', Richardson's words had weighed heavily on my mind.
