An unexpectedly good performance from Burns. I thought he missed out on the draw due to the points deducted but I had him taking 6 clear rounds off Figueroa in that fight. He was getting clean shots away on the outside, for most of the bout, but Figueroa done well to force him onto the ropes and fire away the inside punches.
A great scrap. I'm pleased for Burns, regardless of the result. He's still got something left in the tank.
It looks like it will be an easy win for Figueroa. However, I hope Burns performs well enough to show he's able to end his career with a couple of big domestic fights back in the UK.
Mayweather was in complete control against Marquez, with quicker reactions to counters. Manny's style meant he was always going to be able to land something on Mayweather. I thought Mayweather shut Marquez out on the scorecards, whereas I gave three rounds to Pacquiao against Mayweather.
Really looking forward to this one.
I think Dirrell will win by decision but I'd like to see DeGale take the title. Assuming Groves beats Jack for the WBC strap, I'd like to see a unification bout between the two, which would be massive for British boxing.
116-111 to Rigondeaux. Gave Donaire rounds 2, 4 and 10.
I'll score the fight again later on in the week, once I get a chance to watch it after the post-fight hype dies down.
Don't know if I've got the wrong end of the stick with this one but Harrison - Sprott comes to mind.
Getting beat convincingly for most of the fight, and probably heading for retirement, only for Audley to pull the punch of his career early in the 12th.
After that, he gets a big payday from the Haye fight and few more fights into the bargain.
Alvarez - Lara would be a great fight. The one reason I can't see it happening is that Lara stands a much better chance of outboxing, and beating, Canelo than a technically-inferior fighter like Kirkland would.
I highly doubt GBP would risk derailing the Saul train for the sake of a fighter, like Lara, who is unfamiliar to casual boxing fans.
I see them pulling the September date altogether and having Canelo - Kirkland in December.
1. Mayweather

5. Marquez
I'd say those five, based on skill level and recent fights. There are a few fighters who have all the skills to make the top five but are lacking in the record department. In a couple of years time, I expect the likes of Gamboa and Rigo to join the list.
Margarito's downfall was offering his right eye as a freebie to Cotto, as if to prove some kind of point. I thought a change in attitude and style would have been key if he had any chance of the victory.
I'm still delighted Cotto got the victory. He done what I'd have done for the rest of the fight after he got that right eye closed up. A brilliant tactical and technical performance.
I don't think Margarito does that. Could be wrong though.
Normally, he's quite aggressive and pressures his opponent. It depends how the fight goes, plus nobody knows how he'll react to taking a glove to the eye. Personally, I see him trying to protect his eye at all costs because it's a potential fight stopper.
I really hope I'm wrong, but I can't see anything other than Margarito blowing Cotto away in the mid-late rounds. After watching the 24/7 programmes, I really want Cotto to beat Margarito but the only way I can see that happen is if he attacks that right eye of Antonio but I think Margarito will be extra careful not to expose it. I think Margarito will aim to soak up the pressure in the first half of the fight and assert himself later on when Cotto is less likely to connect.
The one thing Cotto musn't do is seek revenge by going all out for the win because Margarito will keep well away and pick him off with his larger reach.
£10 a month is great value for the programme quality but I'll probably need to hold off until after Christmas because I never get to see the fights unless they're on in the morning due to rubbish like X Factor getting priority in my house.
I enjoyed the coverage of Burns - Katsidis and Groves - Smith last month but I'll probably leave subscribing until February to see what fights have been secured for May.

Final totals: Khan 113 - 112 Peterson. Was a tough fight to judge without having to deal with deductions. It would have been harsh to issue a 10 - 8 round for Peterson in round 12 purely because Khan had to go all out in the last round and he'd have won the round if it wasn't for the foul. The first point deduction was a 10 - 8 round for Peterson, though.
A number of rounds could have went either way, depending on if you were looking for combination punches or clean power punches.
Gave it 9-3 to Mayweather, with Pacquiao winning 4, 6 and 9. After rewatching the fight two nights ago, the 9th and 10th rounds were closer than they appeared to be when watching it live. They could've gone either way, depending on what you were looking for.
