In this edition of "Who's Hot, Who's Not", we touch on the weekend fights, the situation between the two top middleweights in the world and a very popular "Pretty Boy".
Who's Hot
Carlos Baldomir - The 34-year-old Argentine fighter had a dream - to win a world title before his retirement. This past Saturday night, he achieved that dream by stepping inside the arena of dreams, Madison Square Garden, and pulling off what might be the upset of the year when he scored a unanimous decision over Zab Judah. Away from his wife and children for weeks, he fought his heart out and won over a pro-Judah crowd.
On paper this fight was such as mismatch that many fans did not even bother watching the telecast or tuned out after the barnburner between O'Neil Bell and Jean-Marc Mormeck. A 16-1 underdog, and as high as 20-1 in other places - who really gave him much of a chance in the boxing world? Most expected the bout to last three rounds at best. This fight put the seal of approval on the old saying; "anything can happen in the sport of boxing".
Prior to the bout, Baldomir said he was two fights away from retirement - now the sky is the limit. [details]
