Sao Paulo, Brazil: Adailton De Jesus (24-4) W KO 2 Nelson Alves

bout.
November 11
Deurne, Belgium: Jackson Osei Bonsu (31-3) W TKO 2
Domingos Nascimento Monteiro (19-14-4). Ghanaian-born former European champion

November 12
San Diego, USA: Chris Martin (16-0-2) W TKO 7
Eduardo Arcos (15-1). Arcos was aggressive from the first bell, but once Martin
got into the fight he dominated with his speed and accuracy and the Doctor
ordered it off at the end of the seventh
round.
Tizi Ouzou, Algeria: Light Welter: Ali Chebah (32-1) W
TKO 10 Javier Prieto. A tough night for Chebah, who turned pro at the age of 16.

knockdowns to retain his WBC Youth and NABF
titles.
November 13
Las Vegas: USA: Bantam: Z Gorres (31-2-2) W PTS 10 Luis
Melendez (26-4-1). Super Fly: Juan Alberto Rosas (31-5) W PTS 12 Federico
Catubay (25-16-3). Welter: Mike Rosales (25-3) W PTS 10 Mark Melligen (16-2).
Super Bantam: Robert Marroquin (11-0) W TKO 3 Anthony Napunyi (14-8).
Super Feather: Diego
Magdaleno (12-0) W PTS 8 Jose Nilson Dos
Santos (13-1). The aftermath was more
important than the bout as Gorres is currently in hospital in an induced coma
after surgery to relieve pressure on his brain. The 27-year-old Filipino
southpaw, who has a draw with Vic Darchinyan on his record, floored Colombian
southpaw Melendez in the third and was dominating the bout. However Gorres was
floored heavily in the last round and hit his head on the bottom rope. He beat
the count and was awarded the decision on scores of 98-90(twice) and 97-91. He
was on shaky legs at the bell, collapsed in the ring and was taken to hospital.
Rosas fought on the inside and smothered the work of Filipino Catubay in their
IBF title eliminator to win a unanimous verdict on scores of 117-111(twice) and
116-112. Aggression of Rosales too much for Filipino southpaw prospect Melligen,
who was too negative. Rosales takes split decision on scores of 96-94 (twice)
and 92-98 and snaps Melligen’s ten fight winning streak. Former top amateur
Marroquin floors Kenyan with right cross for stoppage win and fellow amateur
stand-out and fellow southpaw Magdaleno too busy and wins every round against
Brazilian.

TKO 1 Istvan Nagy(12-6). Matt, brother of Ricky Hatton, looks slightly unlucky
to have to settle for a draw in tough, scrappy match for IBO title. Scores
115-114, 114-115 and 114-114. Hatton starts well, N’Dou comes into it in middle
rounds as Hatton activity drops off, but then Hatton seems to take tenth and
eleventh and twelfth a see-saw round . Difficult one to score. McDermott retains
English title as fifth round knockdown is the difference in 96-95 score. Norton
takes easy win over Belgian veteran. Lawton, moving down a weight, dominates
from second and big rights force stoppage in sixth. Buckland floors Hungarian
twice for quick win.
Detroit, USA: Light Welter:

not reflect Foure contribution.

(36-3-1) W KO 5 Jack Asis (20-13-4). Super Bantam: Sod Looknongyangtoy (43-2-1)
W T DEC 8 Richard Olisa (18-9-1). Southpaw Terdsak wins interim WBC
ABC title as he floors Filipino Asis twice in fourth and puts him away in fifth.
Terdsak’s three losses have been to Joan Guzman, Juan Manuel Marquez and Steve
Luevano. Former WBO title challenger Sod in front with his counter-punching
until cut in seventh and takes unanimous technical
decision.
Koszalin, Poland: Super Middle: Piotr Wilczewski
(24-1) W PTS 10 Demetrius Davis (19-7-5).Light Heavy: Roman Shkarupa (22-1-2) W PTS 8 Steve Kroekel (7-11-2). Light Welter: Slawomir Ziemlewicz
(19-5-2) W PTS 6 Geir Inge Jorgensen (27-2). No sweat for
Wilczewski who wins wide unanimous verdict for interim TWBA title. Poor match as
Ukrainian Shakarupa outpoints German Kroekel, who is 0-1-7 in last eight fights.
Upset as Norwegian Jorgensen loses majority decision to
Pole.
November 14
Las Vegas, USA: Welter: Manny Pacquiao (50-3-2) W
TKO 12 Miguel Cotto( 34-2). Light Middle: Yuri Foreman (28-0, 1 ND)

PTS 12
Daniel Santos(32-4-1, 1ND). Middle: Julio Cesar
Chavez Jr (41-0-1) W PTS 10 Troy Rowland( 25-2). Welter: Alfonso Gomez
(21-4-2) W T. DEC Jesus Soto Karass (24-4-3). Fly: Richie Mepranum (16-2-1) W PTS 6 Ernie Marquez (9-6-1).Middle: Matt Korobov (8-0) W PTS 6 Jim
Winchester(10-3). Wonderful display from Filipino miracle Pacquiao. Cotto gutsy
and made a fight of it in early rounds . Pacquiao hand speed, power and lateral
movement too much for Cotto who is floored in third, takes a decisive count at
end of the fourth and is cut and finished when floored again in twelfth. Puerto
Rican’s corner wanted to pull him out at the end of the eleventh, but he refused
to let them. Manny takes WBA title and makes history with his seventh title in
seven divisions (if you count IBO titles, which I don’t). Mia culpa, mia culpa,
mia maximum culpa-I tipped Cotto to win, and now there is nowhere to
hide!
In one-sided bout Foreman outboxes
Santos to win WBA title. Young
Belarus-born Israeli floored Puerto Rican in second, hurt him again in third and
fourth and floored him again in twelfth to win wide points decision on scores of
117-109(twice) and 116-110. Foreman, a devout Jew even managed to fit in
Rabbinical training with his preparation for this fight. No knockdowns, but
Chavez, up at middle, punches too hard for 34-year-old Rowland and takes wide
decision on scores of 99-91, 98-92 and 97-93. Rowland may have been distracted
as his brother Shane, is in a
Michigan hospital, and was placed
in a medically induced coma this month with the H1N1 virus.Former “Contenders” star Gomez in front when he
suffered a cut by his right eye in clash of heads in third round. Injury worsens
and Gomez wins technical decision on scores of 58-54, 57-55(twice) for WBC Con
Am title. WBC No 7 Karass loses two points for low blows which cost him chance
of draw. Twenty-two-year-old Filipino Mepranum scores second round knockdown but
then Marques takes over and split decision loudly booed. Russian Korobov, a
former double world amateur champion, wins every round against North
Carolinian.
Limerick, Ireland: Middle; Andy Lee (20-1)
W
PTS 10
Affif Belghecham (19-4-1). Super Middle: Matt O’Brien (18-1)
W
PTS 6 Jean
Kamdoum (5-8). In non-title bout southpaw Lee plays it safe and boxes on the
outside against 35-year-old fellow southpaw Belghecham, who holds the EU and
French titles. Andy well ahead, but hurt in ninth as over last two rounds
Frenchman comes on strong and has Lee looking shaky. Score 99-92. Canadian
O’Brien, in first fight since March 2007
just edges out Cameroonian by 58-57 score in scrappy, untidy
bout..
Johannesburg, South
Africa: Light Welter: Sam Malinga (22-6-2) W TKO 5 Pius Dipheko (8-8-5). Malinga, bouncing back after two losses,
wins interim WBO African title as he takes a couple of rounds to look at Dipheko
then cuts and floors him for nine to force
stoppage.
The Hague, Holland: Heavy: Richel Hersisia (32-3) W
TKO 2 Frank Roth (1-16-2). Rubbish match as Hersisia
continues comeback.

Luciano Abis (27-1-1) W TKO 4 Albert Starkov (13-12-1).Sarritzu regains his old title as he wins
vacant European. Italian dominates bout before southpaw Frenchman retires at the
end of the seventh with shoulder injury. Sarritzu, who lost and drew with Omar
Narvaez in WBO title fights, is now 3-0-1 in four fights with Rodrigues.
“Bazooka” Abis pleases hometown fans with stoppage of 36-year-old
Estonian.
