In a shocker, Johan Perez won the IBF WW title with a 1 punch, overhand right KO of Julio Diaz - the end coming @ 0:36 of the 2nd round.

Diaz was making the 3rd defense of his title, having just defended it by a Majority Draw against Italy's Leonard Bundu in December.

This was supposed to be a stay busy defense for Diaz but Perez looked like Hitman Hearns in his blowout win!

In a surprisingly easy 2nd title defense (IBO), Carl Froch came to Paris & took apart Christophe Tiozzo with a 4th round TKO.

CT was expected to provide Carl with a stern challenge but Froch dominated from the beginning out punching the French challenger 133 to 55 (both landed 41% of their punches). CT's right eye was already red with swelling.

Carl is now 24-1 (15 KO's) & CT is 12-3 (9 KO's).

Froch hopes to return again this summer.

Felix Sturm & Jermain Taylor met for the vacant WBA MW belt in Germany with Sturm ekking out a 15 SD in a fight Felix appeared to control in sort of a boring fight. Sturm winning on the cards 143-142 twice while 1 judge had it 143-142 for Taylor. Jermain won 10-9 on every judge's card in the 13th, 14th & 15th but it wasn't enough coming down the stretch to take the title.

Danny's now 9-0 (6 KO's) & Corley is 30-4-1 (17 KO's).

2 vets met for this strap when Tyrone Nurse vacated it to fight Ray Mancini for his IBO title. Nurse KO'd Edwin Rosario in the 4th & then was KO'd by Ray in 9.

So for the vacant IBF version, Lucas Matthysse in his 1st title fight met former champ, Kendall Holt. Holt lost his IBO belt to Mike Alvarado when Holt quit in the 6th with a hurt hand.

This fight ended in definitive fashion & Lucas opened the show with a huge right cross that dropped Holt for a 7 count. In the 2nd & 3rd, Holt more than held his own & took the fight to the big punching Argentine. In the fatal 4th, Holt was applying the pressure in the corner when Holt missed, Lucas didn't & a hard hook end matters @ 2:16.

The judges had the fight even (28-28) with Holt up 65 (21%) to 48 (11%) in PL.

Kelly was up on the cards: 87-85, 87-84 & 88-83 as well as PL: 216 (33%) to 204 (26%). Dirrell dominated the PL in the 10th - 42-0 to narrow the PL gap.

After winning/losing the WBO belt @ 154, Manny Pacquiao dropped down to take on & eventually out former champ, 6 Heads Lewis, with a 6th round TKO.

In a give & take fight, a combo from Manny dropped the veteran 6 Heads for a count of 8 & from then on Manny's win would not be denied, the ref stepping in @ 2:20 after a hard left cross almost sent Lewis to the canvas once again.

2 judges had Manny up 49-47 & the 3rd had it even @ 48.

Manny's now 4-0, all KO's @ 147 & Lewis is 34-6-1 (28 KO's).

GGG won the PL battle 42 to 6, making the 5th defense of his WBC MW belt & improved to 21-0 (16 KO's).

It was Monroe's 1st loss, now 4-1 ( 2 KO's).

Former WBO CW champ, Enzo Maccarinelli, showed a lot of heart in facing the brutal assault of power punching champ, Herbie Hide. After an uneventful 1st round, a brutal uppercut from Hide sent Enzo to the canvas. The fighter from Wales was lucky to survive the round. Enzo seemed reluctant to engage from that point forward until he wore down late & Hide dropped him 2 more times before a huge hook ended matters in the 14th.

Hide was up 343 (35%) to 241 (23%) in PL as well as on the cards: 125-119, 123-121 & 124-121.

Ray was up 30-25 on all 3 cards.

IBO champ, Lee Purdy, decided to face Johan Perez for his IBF belt rather than fellow Brits, Khan or Brook, so he traveled to Venezuela for a unification.

Perez won the belt back in March from Julio Diaz with a 1 punch right cross in the 2nd round.

A fight that was pretty boring ended in dramatic fashion when a Perez hook to the liver ended the fight & Purdy's IBO reign @ 2:56 of the 13th round.

In a much tougher defense than many anticipated, Wayne McCullough was able to make the 6th defense of his WBC FW belt with a right cross KO of Colombian banger, Miguel Marriaga, @ 2:14 of the 14th.

Miguel had hit the deck 3 times prior & a body shot also sent Wayne to the canvas late in a prior round. At the time of the stoppage, Wayne was up on 1 card, 125-122, down on another, 122-123 & 1 judge had it even @ 122-122.

[hamed2]

Adrien Broner fought a smart, if somewhat cautious, fight to defend his WBO JWW belt for the 2nd time.

Broner picked his spots & dropped Roberto Ortiz 4 times over the 15 rounds easily winning a dominant UD: 148-134, 150-132 & 149-133.

Broner was aware of the power of big puncher from Mexico but his speed & defense were too much as he out landed Ortiz 508 (31%) to 123 (9%).

AB is now 4-0, 2 KO's @ 140.

Making the 2nd defense of his WBO WW belt, Ruslan Provodnikov went to California to take on the rugged Nigerian, Wale Omotoso.

The fight proceeded as expected as both brawlers traded big shots, with Ruslan appearing to pull ahead as the rounds wore on. In the 12th, both decided to go for broke & Wale backed up RP with a hard right cross. Ruslan answered a short while later with a left hook that dropped Wale for a count of 4.

It was like blood in the water then as RP would not be denied, a combo ending matters @ 2:40 of the 12th.

Despite a PL lead of 387 (33%) to 192 (24%), 2 judges (Argentina & the US) had the fight even @ 104-104. Only the German judge had Ruslan up 107-103.

[hamed2]

WBO SMW champ, Errol Christie, looked to make short work of Ben McCulloch & jumped on the challenger in the 1st round. Errol swelled up Ben's left & looked like he was about to have an early & easy title defense. The tough Aussie had other ideas as he battled back & forth with the Brit - a man 19 years his senior.

A combo in the 12th sent Ben to the canvas for the only KD of the fight. In the end, Errol was able to retain his belt with a Majority Draw - 142-142 twice while 1 judge gave the British champ a 144-141 edge.

PL were 324 (27%) to 313 (23%) in Errol's favor.

Sergey Kovalev was impressive once again taking out African import, Mohamed Siluvangi via 4th round TKO due to 3 KD's in the round - a body shot ending matters @ 2:45.

It was SK's 3rd defense of his WBO belt.

[hamed2]

Danny Garcia came to Puerto Rico to make his 4th title defense against the dangerous puncher - Thomas Dulorme.

2 KD's in the 1st 4 rounds made it appear that Danny would make short work of TD. Thomas however fought back but in the end, he couldn't match the skill & power of Danny who finally ended matters @ 1:59 of the 14th with an uppercut. TD hit the deck 5 other times.

Danny was up 127-117 & 127-116 twice on the cards & had a 442 (30%) to 265 (31%) PL lead.
