Legend - Froch Batters Bute in 5
Lucien Bute vs Carl Froch - IBF Super Middleweight Title
Well he did it it again. Britain's ultimate warrior Carl Froch pulled off the upset in front of his own Nottingham fans by battering long reigning champion Lucien Bute in just 5 rounds. Froch now becomes a 3 time world champion at 168 and now has a resume that i think surpasses and other fighter at this weight past or present.
The crowd for the challengers homecoming was electric and Froch certainly never let them down with this one sided beating. After a slow opening round which could have went either way , the Cobra began to take over the fight as he was able to force the champion to the ropes and land his bombs. Bute just couldn't get his jab going , certainly nowhere near needed to keep Froch coming forward. Bute was hurt at the end of the 2nd round as he was caught with the wild hooks by the challenger.
Round 3 was the beginning of the end for Bute as although he was catching Froch with some shots coming in...Froch was walking through them. Again Bute was hurt but this time badly half way through the round he managed to survive but right at the end he was nearly stopped as the Cobra pinned him on the ropes clubbing him with left and right hooks. Bute slowly walked back to his corner as the crowd went wild. Many fans and press etc scored this round a 10-8 for Froch...that's how much the challenger dominated the champion in this round.
Bute never recovered , Round 4 was just as bad for the Romanian / Canadian as Froch was still catching him at will rocking the champion on more than 1 occasion. As the 5th round started i hadn't given Bute a round , Froch was putting up the performance of his career , this was punctuated only 1.05 into the round when the ref stopped the fight as Bute was slouching down the ropes after another Froch barrage. Eddie Hearn Froch's manager got that excited that he was already in the ring celebrating with the Cobra not noticing the ref was still counting. It didn't matter though as the fight was over Froch the underdog totally destroyed Bute with a performance that matched Hatton vs Tszyu , Lewis vs Ruddock and Benn vs McClelland.
Below as always is my scorecard along with all the Press and Fans scores i was able to collect.

43-0 Mayweather Wins Again...
Miguel Cotto vs Floyd Mayweather Jnr - WBA Light Middleweight Title
Floyd Mayweather won this boxing match but both fighters have came out of this fight with immense credit as finally the fans had a big fight that was a GOOD fight. I have to say that i was surprised how close i scored this 115-113 Mayweather as i felt that Miguel was too slow to really get near Floyd and do any damage...How wrong was I ??. Maybe Cotto has got better or maybe Floyd is beginning to fade?? what isn't a maybe was how easy Cotto got near the "Pretty Boy" and was able to let his shots go.
From rounds 1-4 i thought Floyd looked as good as ever , amazing defence , smart counters , great jab and so hard to hit on the inside. I had Mayweather 3-1 up at this point but Cotto was allowed to come back into the fight with smart pressure (please see the Mayweather vs Castillio 1 ) fight to see what i mean. On the HBO broadcast the fans actually cheered as between rounds the cameras showed Floyd bloody faced. After 6 i had the fight even. Mayweather was slowing down and letting Cotto bully him to the ropes , what made some of these rounds hard to score was that Mayweather again was excellent stealing shots on the inside as Cotto banged away...what did you like..the flurry's and the landing of more shots or the harder single body shots of the champion??.
After 9 i had Cotto ahead , i had scored on the pressure he was putting on Mayweather. Mayweather being the legend that he is never panicked as he began to come off the ropes and land those long pot shots. With 2 rounds left i had the fight even 95-95 BUT it was only in the last 30 seconds of round 11 that i made up mind that Floyd had won this round. It was a very even round , one i thought of giving a EVEN round but Mayweather being the great finisher landed 2 decent combinations. In a fight this close....that's what won Floyd the round...on my card any way.
The last round basically put a rubber stamp on this very good fight. Both came out trying to gain the advantage , first Cotto tried to push Mayweather to the ropes although this time Mayweather who was a little fresher was able to spin away and land his jab. The biggest punch of the fight was landed half way through the round when Mayweather caught the champion with a perfect right uppercut , surprisingly Mayweather never went for the kill maybe knowing that the round and the fight was just about secure.
The fans and the press in the articles etc i have read really enjoyed this fight , i think because they didn't expect it to be as competitive. I have collected over 200 fightscores from the fan forums , press etc and I'm quite surprised how some people saw the fight. The press seemed to score quite wide for Mayweather where the fans though the fight was close although scores of 115-113 , 116-112 and 117-111 were the ones that cropped up most.
Below is my scorecard along with all the scores i collected.

Bad Chad Beats Bernard In Bad Fight
Bernard Hopkins vs Chad Dawson - WBC Light Heavyweight Title
Styles make fights is the old saying in boxing where 2 fighters boxing styles can either give the fans a great fight OR like Saturday night in Atlantic City NJ a poor one. Even before their 1st fight writers and fans alike didn't think these 2 fighter styles would mix well , well 50,000 PPV buys on HBO tell its own story. Hopkins and Dawson's 2nd fight although intriguing never really took off . Between them they only landed 257 punches in the whole fight.
The 1st round set the agenda for the rest of the fight where both guys were more interested in NOT getting hit , I found it very had to split them on this round as very few punches landed. The 2nd , 3rd , 4th kinda went the same way although at this point Hopkins was holding his own at this slow pace with the younger Dawson.
John Scully, Dawson's trainer i think changed the fight for the challenger in the 5th as he told Bad Chad how Calzaghe was able to beat Hopkins...By throwing alot more punches and making Bernard fight at a pace he didn't like. Although cut from an accidental head clash Dawson did up his work rate and began to stalk the 47 year old Hopkins. Most writers and fans i think agree that it was the middle rounds where Dawson was able to pull away on the scorecards because of work rate and ring generalship. Some rounds were still difficult to score but when a guy is being pushed back and landing less punches i think its hard to to give him the round.
Hopkins was having the odd success although how hes even competing at this level is a mystery , i gave Hopkins the 11th as he turned the tables a bit on Dawson by forcing him back in the early part of the round. At no point in the fight though was either fighter hurt or in any danger of being stopped. Dawson though was cut above both eyes but again was never in danger of losing the fight due to injury. The last round was another hard one to score , so little was being landed and both at this time were taking turns at trying to pot shot each other. I scored it for Dawson as again i just felt that his work was just a little cleaner.
Below is my scorecard along with the press and many many scores i collected from the fans on the boxing forums. This by far is the most scores Ive been able to collect - well over 130.

Bombs Away - Bellew Wins in 5
Tony Bellew vs Danny McIntosh - British Light Heavyweight Title
Mature , controlled and patient were only some of the words used to describe Tony Bellews masterful performance in Liverpool last night when he blasted former European Kingpin Danny McIntosh to defeat in only 5 rounds. A big right hand ended things early in the 5th in a fight that Bellew dominated from the opening bell.
Bellew now will no doubt push for that rematch with WBO champ Cleverly after such a great performance , the scousers jab was better than ever. It doubled and even tripled as 9 times out of 10 it was followed by wicked right hands to the head. McIntosh was a lively underdog before but Bellew simply never allowed him into the fight.
Every scorecard i managed to collect had the exact same score 40-35 Bellew at the time of stoppage. 4-0 in rounds but with the extra point for a late knockdown scored by Bellew in the 4th.
What impressed many was that Bellew didn't rush anything , he simply took his time , never got excited and waited till the right moment to finally finish of his over-matched opponent.
Bellew can now look forward to much bigger thing although i feel that Carl Froch may be correct in saying that Bellew might want to defend the British Title 1 more time as he would get the belt for keeps.
Below as always is my scorecard along with all the press and fans scores.

Domestic Bliss - Mathews Upsets Crolla
Anthony Crolla vs Derry Mathews - British Lightweight Title
Derry Mathews was about to retire. Beaten earlier in the year for the IBO Lightweight Title it looked as if the Scouser / Irishman was about to leave the sport he loved. Throw in a last opportunity for the British Lightweight Title and you have the old gunslinger in the last chance saloon.
In the pre-fight build up Mathews said he would have retired if he lost against young champion Anthony Crolla who was making his 2nd defence. Two rounds in and it looked like this was to be the last time we saw the Likeable warrior as Crolla used his excellent left jab and hook to out-punch his rival. That all changed in the 3rd round as Mathews began to land his jab along with a straight right cum uppercut. This is the punch that put the champion on the seat of his pants and would eventually change the fight in favour of Mathews.
Crolla clearly hurt had around 1.40 in the round to survive , he got rocked several more times during the round but showed his toughness by gritting his teeth by fighting back although it was clear to see who had the power in this fight. The champion had another problem in the 3rd as because of those straight rights a huge cut appeared right beside Crollas left eye. Star cuts man Mick Williamson had to go to work and to a degree he did a good job as the blood wasn't as bad and Crolla came back winning the 4th on my card using sheer volume of punching. The 5th was close as the champions volume punching especially to the body was beginning to tire Mathews but unlike previous fights the challenger kept calm and fired back to again rock Crolla near the end of the round.
Th end came very late in the 6th Round , Crolla was having a decent round before more big rights took effect , Crolla staggered back to the ropes for a few seconds whilst Mathews fired away , the champion then escaped again only to be caught by a glancing blow....This is when Referee John Keane stepped in and stopped the fight...I think prematurely. There are a few reasons i think this was stopped premature , 1. there was only a few seconds left in the round and i think the Referee should have known that 2. Crolla was not that badly hurt and had not taken a one sided beating. He should have really been given the benefit of the doubt although there wasn't much complaining just disappointment from Crolla and his camp.
Mathews - the old gunslinger will have an Indian summer now. Sit back , get strapped in because if its anything like his fantastic performance last night then we are in for some ride.
