Here's fight news report on the three fights:

Unbeaten German heavyweight Edmund Gerber (9-0, 6 KOs) easily destroyed American no-hoper Shawn McLean (4-5, 3 KOs) in the very first round of scheduled eight. Gerber just went right after the guest fighter and dropped him at the end of the second minute of the first round with a punishing right. Dazed McLean got up but was immediately dropped two times more by charging Gerber. The stoppage came at 2:15 of the first round.

Middleweight Marcos Nader (5-0, 0 KOs) defeated Ciro Ciano (6-5-4, 1 KO) via unanimous decision, 60-54, 60-54, 59-55. Nader almost finished Ciano in the first round with a powerful counter right, but Ciano weathered the storm. Nader was in command the rest of the way. Fight news had it 59-55 for Nader.

In the first fight on the card, rising super middleweight hope George Groves moved up to 7-0 with 5 KOs after the harder-than-it-seems eight-round decision over ultra durable Belarussian Konstantin Makhankov (15-19, 5 KOs). Groves used all his vast technical arsenal to put Makhankov out, including right and left hooks, right uppercuts and a hard jab, but the journeyman, who had been stopped only by 168lb ****er Victor Oganov during his pro career, was just too tough and rugged to be put away. All three judges saw it in favor of Hayemaker prodigy with the same score of 80-72. Fight news had it 80-73 for George Groves.

There's six more undercard fights to go. The main event Haye-Valuev is supposed to start in about three hours from now.

It's a 50-50 fight. He can possibly beat Valuev, but not either Klitschko.

Okay cool. Out of curiosity will there be any fights televised on the undercard other than the Ruiz fight?

It's 50/50, the size difference is huge, I've spoken to so many people this week about it and everyone is dead split, they aren't just being biased brits!
