Disappointed with Jirov. He handled DeLeon just to lose in the Silver Six to him. Could have wrapped up the whole tourney with a victory, but just looked flat in most rounds of the fight.

Calzaghe has had a disappointing Super six, but pulls the fight out late to win all the belts against Gomez. Nice win for Calzaghe who fought everyone this year, now lays claim to all the belts. I also think this might be the first time ever that I had all the unified belts, at least from memory.
