We had a thoroughly spectacular week heading into the Million Dollar Tournament, and a New Champion crowned in EVERY TITLE FIGHT!!!!
Jimmy Carruthers had a tough scrap against Akifumi Shimoda, but managed to end matters before we needed to hear some close scorecards read with a 10th round KO.
Somsak Sithchatchawal had a great little scrap with Teddy Baldock prevailing via 8th round KO.
Billy Plimmer in an exciting bout upset Israel Vazquez, and punched his ticket into the MDT.
Oscar Larios and Rafael Herrera had a fantastic 10 round scrap with Larios edging the Split decision.
Kid Williams was pesky again against the hard punching Carlos Zarate, but Zarate did enough damage this time to emerge with a clear UD.
In an ultra exciting Non title fight. The #1 and #2 rated Fighters in the Sim got it on, and fought to a draw, but Eder Jofre and Pete Herman showed their talents.
Poonsawat Kratiengym was in an awesome WTF Title fight with Celestino Caballero and emerged with a clear Unanimous Decision victory, and the title.
Johnny Coulon and the always entertaining Ruben Olivares waged war in an IBO title fight, and Coulon finally emerged when a cut forced a stoppage from Olivares, and Coulon captured the IBO Championship!
Guillermo Rigondeaux and Jeff Fenech had a fantastic battle for the vacant WBA title and Fenech nearly pulled it out at the end, but had been outboxed too clearly early in the bout to overturn the lead that Rigo had, and Rigo walks away as the New WBA Champion
and Finally George Dixon overcomes some scary moments and hard punches to take the IBF Championship away from the great Manny Pacquiao an another epic title clash.
What an EPIC WEEK!!!!!!!!
