So....Armstrong goes in undertrained, and pitches a near shut out. Yipes.....

Well Chucky is the better of the Cheese Brothers. For what that's worth. Or at least it would appear that way.

Nobody can claim the Cheese Champs in Event 10....as they will be facing each other.....

I saw that and was figuring it was another odd loss coming. Nice to see he has lived up to his billing, at least in this one.

[armageto]

Armstrong gets some sweet revenge! There is still one more to go, and the biggest challenge of the revenge tour. Vicente Saldivar is the next man up, plus a chance for the WBO strap as well.............

No idea what is wrong with Chocolate. I had him prior in an shortened season, and he preformed admirably well. This season has been all over the place. I thought he easily could have lost this fight by the same score and he wins it. Last week I thought he had in the bag and he loses. Go figure....

[NoScoutingReports]

Juan Manuel Marquez gained some sweet revenge in his rematch with Steve Robinson today, beating the Welshman from pillar to post on the way to a crushing 8th round knockout victory. Back to back wins were much needed for JMM as he continues to climb the rankings at 126 pounds.

Vicente Salvidar bounced back from losing the WBA featherweight title in typically entertaining fashion by taking out crafty operator Kennedy McKinney via TKO in the 5th stanza. Zurdo de Oro will be looking to get back into title contention in the near future following this lopsided victory, with many sources suggesting a rematch with Henry Armstrong is looking likely, this time for the WBO world title.
