Fights You Have To Watch

Yonnhy Perez vs Abner Mares - High workrate from both guys, back and forth action with momentum swings, just when one guy seemed to be taking over the other comes back and takes a hold of the fight. Fight of the year candidate.

was really pulling for perez to win it, but i'm happy with what i got instead. amazing fight.

Sumbu Kalambay vs Herol Graham 2 - Very good fight between 2 fighters with very good skills. Kalambay knocked down twice in the second, came rallying back, Kalambay stunned again in the third but came back to hurt Graham in the second half of the round, Graham deducted one point in the 4th or 5th for spinning Kalambay, Kalambay won the next few rounds but then Graham came back with some very good counterpunching to win the later rounds in my eyes. The fight was on the line to me going into the 12th where Kalambay had a big rally and hurt Graham again, Kalambay was aided by some weird refereeing where Graham was deducted another point for nothing that I could see. Very good fight.

Hozumi Hasegawa vs Veeraphol Sahaprom 1 - Very good ebb and flow type fight between the stalking Sahaprom and the boxer/mover Hasegawa, Hasegawa started off well utilizing his movement and speed but he began to slow his movement down in the mid rounds which allowed Sahaprom to have more success, Hasegawa dug deep though and had the long reigning champion hurt in the 10th, the last 2 rounds were full of action with Sahaprom putting a lot of pressure on Hasegawa in the last round, perhaps sensing his title was slipping away. Very good fight. Sahaprom was never the same after this.

Yeah, that was Sahaprom's last good performance. He had already slipped quite a bit by that stage, comparative to his earlier brilliance, as he was getting up there in age. I think he was about 37 in that fight.

Great fight though, and took whatever was left in Sahaprom out of him.

McWilliams Arroyo vs Takashi Okada - A very good fight on the undercard of the Calderon-Iribe card between 2 prospects. Fast pace from the beginning, hard punches landed from both boxers, Arroyo down in the second round and wobbled badly, he was also cut in the third. These guys were really hungry and let the leather fly in the ring.

As Rich Marotta said, this could be prelim fight of the year.

That was a good one!! And a bit of a shocker when you consider how people were talking about Arroyo.

Yeah, Arroyo still can do something in this sport, without the knockdown he might have won the fight. Both of those guys have potential, Okada is a bit more raw though, he was just relentless in the fight.
