Lots of people picked Katsidis against Ricky and Martinez was a very good scalp. Ricky blitzed Mitchell a quality domestic win.

Your right, it was AFTER the Marquez fight and a year removed from Katsidis last win of note (which came against Mitchell). When did Katsidis beat a "world class" Lightweight? A shot Chavez in 2009? I loved watching Katsidis but he wasn't genuine world class just an exciting fighter who kept winning "interim" world titles then failing when he stepped up. As shown against Casamayor, Diaz, Marquez and Guerrero.

Mitchell, like you said, was a DOMESTIC win. Not a world class one.

Martinez was at Super Featherweight, where I will suggest Ricky was world class.

He TOOK the babybull to a split and if I remember the Casamayor fight was close up to the kayo, Katsidis was certainly on the fringes of WC but as an entrant to LW it was a good win. Martinez was Burns's finest hour.

I didn't see the last fight was it close, is that why they're rematching? I struggle to see Chavez Jr struggling with Vera but I can't see why else they'd rematch so quickly.

It was very close. It seemed like a majority had Vera edging it, though I thought a draw would've been fair.

True, but knowing the result definitely makes fights less fun to watch.

I'm trying to cushion the blow

He probably got her confused with his stash-bag & was trying to squeeze some into his mouth Popeye/spinach-can stylee.

I had it 118-110 and I thought I gave a generous round to Ricky.. Crawford was a little better than I expected.. I think there is a difference in winning a world title and being world class.. I think in a rematch Ricky would get knocked out I think at times Crawford was toying with him.. I think Billy's advice in the corner was spot on but the arguing back and making excuses sometimes tells you it's time to move on..

Too many people get sand in their vaginas over this sort of thing - my approach has always been to get off the net if I am trying to avoid results from boxing contests - especially boxing round by round threads on boxing forums...

Who you tipping? I know a website that has favoured Arakawa to stop Linares late.

Did you see the Diaz fight? The card for Katsidis was horrible.

I agree about Ricky being world class though.

Diaz outworked him didn't he.
