One showed no ill effects from a devastating loss in his last fight.

The other looked a long way from the agony of defeat anytime soon.

Saturday night, the US boxing scene was a tale of two titlists who exited with big wins. Still, questions remain. They will be answered in fights ahead. For now…

Let’s go the report cards.

The key to beating IBF 140 lb. titlist Lamont Peterson likely remains what it has always been. You have to get on him early and make it stick. Timothy Bradley built an early lead and held Peterson off in what ended up a fine fight. Amir Khan almost did it but came up a hair short (if with some controversy). Lucas Matthysse blew him out.

I think M. Garcia's defense is better than a B; particularly given that he is throwing real, hurtful punches in there. He didn't get hit with very many clean punches and Burgos has real skills. Also, Cliff hardly ever explains what HE means when he talks about "intangibles."
