Vazquez Jr makes history, KOd Sonsona

It's done and history has been written! In a clash for the vacant WBO junior featherweight championship, Wilfredo Vazquez, Jr. (18-0-1, 15 KOs) scored an impressive fourth round KO over previously unbeaten former WBO super flyweight champion Marvin Sonsona (14-1-1, 12 KOs) on Saturday night at the Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. Vazquez Jr., son of Puerto Rican ring great Wilfredo Vazquez, took over the fight in round two and battered the 19-year-old former 115lb champion who had moved up two divisions to the deck in the fourth. A Vazquez left hook to the body ended it for Sonsona at the 2:01 mark.

Another Battle of the Undefeated

Ending the month of February with an exciting fight between two undefeated fighters is just sensational. Another talented Filipino boxer, Marvin "Marvelous" Sonsona will do everything for the gold as he will face Wilfredo “WV2” Vazquez, Jr. of Puerto Rico for the vacant World Boxing Organization (WBO) junior featherweight title. Vazquez, Jr. will step in the ring with an impressive stats of 17W-0L-1D with 14KOs; while Sonsona will try to elevate his own 14W-0L-1D with 12KOs. The event will be held at the Ruben Rodriquez Coliseum in Bayamon, Puerto Rico on the 28th of February.

Vazquez, Jr., the son of 2-time world champion Wilfredo Vazquez, Sr., plans to make history as he will be the first son of a Puerto Rican boxing champion to win a world title. Well, that is if he wins. On the other hand, if Sonsona will be victorious then he will be the youngest Filipino to win two world titles in two different weight divisions.

Well, will this fight be like the historical "Undefeated" match between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Ricky Hatton last 2007?

UFC 110: Velasquez defeats Nogueria

Wow! What an amazing performance by Cain Velasquez as he had knocked out Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira for their heavyweight main event. Whew! Velasquez was very strong with his combination of kicks and strikes.

Cain landed a devastating right that floored Nogueira; Velasquez then jumps over and landed heavy strikes that put Nogueira out. Devastating victory!

UFC 110: Silva had defeated Bisping

Wanderlei "The Axe Murderer" Silva had put up to a good performance once again as he had defeated Michael Bisping via unanimous decision. Silva was just awesome with his kicks and strikes that had him won over Bisping's defense.

I had Silva won the three round on my card.

"The Filipino Flash" Donaire defeats Vargas

WBA interim super flyweight interim champion Nonito "Filipino Flash" Donaire (23W-1L-15KOs) scored a third round KO over late sub Manuel ‘Chango’ Vargas (26W-5L-1D-11KOs) in a non-title bout on Saturday night at the famous Las Vegas Hilton Hotel/Casino. Donaire was in command all the way before laying out Vargas for the count with a left uppercut at 1:33. After original challenger Gerson Guerrero failed his physical, Vargas, who was preparing for the WBC title at 108 lbs moved up two divisions on three days notice.

Other Results:
The full WBO bantamweight champion Fernando Montiel (40W-2L-2D, 30KOs) needed just 2:06 to annihilate previously unbeaten Ciso Morales (14W-1L, 8KOs). A left hand to the body put Morales down for the count.

In a clash for the vacant WBO interim bantamweight championship, #1 contender Eric Morel (42W-2L, 21KOs) took a split decision against #2 contender Gerry Penalosa (54W-8L, 34KOs). Two unintentional headbutts in round six left Penalosa with cuts over both eyes, but the 38-year-old Filipino upped the pressure down the stretch and seemed to deserve the decision. Scores were 115-113, 116-112 Morel, 115-113 Penalosa.

In what is essentially an unofficial featherweight eliminator, Bernabe Concepcion (30W-2L-1D, 17KOs) won a ten round unanimous decision over Mario Santiago (21W-2L-1D, 14KOs) to earn a summer title shot against WBO champ Juan Manuel Lopez. With Manny Pacquiao looking on, Concepcion dropped Santiago in round six, then survived a late Santiago rally to win by scores of 98-91, 96-93, 97-92.

Edwin Valero is Explosive!

A Knockout Artist's Performance

I knew this would happen! Edwin Valero keeping up his clean record, again, had an explosive and astonishing performance as he had defeated the Mexican, Antonio DeMarco, via TKO in the 9th round thus retaining the World Boxing Council (WBC) lightweight title. He had proved himself to be the better fighter as he had totally took control of the fight; he had dominated DeMarco despite having a cut on his face. Valero, of Venezuela, is just sensational elevating his career stats to 27W-0L-27KOs. Awesome!

Being outboxed and outclassed by the Venezuelan, DeMarco was exhausted and beaten at the end of the 9th round that prompted the referee to stop the fight. He had dropped his career fight record to 23W-2L-1D with 17KOs.

Valero to fight Pacquiao

Who doesn't want to fight the pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao? His name is like the number-one most wanted fighter on the list. Fight the Pacman for money, for honor, for bragging rights.

Edwin Valero said he would like to fight Pacquiao. Now that would be another must-see fight if it will happen. Valero would definitely would go up the weights if he wants the Filipino boxer to be with him in a ring. Being in his prime, I believe Valero can keep his strength and power if ever he would be in welterweight.

Pacquiao-Valero in the future? I would say "Yes" for it in a poll.

Randy Coture chokes Mark Coleman to victory

One legend had become victorious as the other fell. The battle of the two of UFC's legendary fighters is over.

Randy Coture, once again with an amazing performance, had dominated Mark Coleman and won with a rare submission victory (rear naked choke) during their bout for the UFC 109 [Relentless] event.

Couture had dominated the first round of the fight and had Coleman exhausted on the bell. On the second round, Randy had the chance to be on full mount and he was pounding on Mark, the latter then gave his back and this had let Couture established a rear naked choke. Tired and defenseless, Coleman decided to retire and tap.

Congratulations to Randy "The Natural" Couture for the impressive victory.

This is one good fight that I want to watch! Knockout artist and undefeated lightweight champion Edwin "Dinamita" Valero (26W-0L-26KO) of Venezuela will be fighting interim champion Antonio DeMarco (23W-1L-1D-17KO) of Mexico on their much anticipated world title showdown on Saturday night in Monterrey, Mexico.

Coming from a TKO win against Hector Velazquez last December 2009, Valero will try to keep his perfect record as he will get pumped-up again to showcase his KO skills. Though he will be fighting on DeMarco's backyard, Dinamita would the power advantage. After this fight I would like to see Valero climb up the weights for the bigger guys.

Guerrero: I can beat Donaire

“Donarie looks very fast and has quick hands, but I don’t fear him I feel confident enough in my own abilities to say that Mexico will have a new world champion that night in Las Vegas,” said Gerson "Nene" Guerrero. The Mexican warrior has 15 plus years in boxing and has won 34 fights with 26 knockouts and only eight defeats. Guerrero knows that he is not the most well-known boxer in the world, but neither was Nonito Donaire a few years back when he demolished Vic Darchinyan and became a world champion. “I know that this is the most important fight of my life and I know how good Donaire is, but I know I can beat him,” said Guerrero. Guerrero will take on Donaire in the main event of “Latin Fury 13/Pinoy Power 3,” a big championship pay-per-view card that Top Rank will telecast live from the Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas.

The Rivals: Hopkins vs. Jones II

I never expected this event will ever happen, but it's now on and for real!

The two legendary boxers and future Hall of Famers will finally collide for their much-anticipated and long-waited rematch; Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins and Roy "The Terminator" Jones Jr. will face each other again after 17 years. The event is called The Rivals: Hopkins vs. Jones II.

Boxing fans had been wanting this rematch to happen after the two boxers first fight on May 1993 when Jones Jr. defeated Hopkins via unanimous decision for the vacant IBF Middleweight title.

The sure-fire bout will happen on April 3 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. This for for the ultimate bragging rights to leave no doubts to who's the better fighter. Hopkins (50-5-1, 32 KOs) and Jones (54-6, 40 KOs) are considered best fighters in boxing history.

Though I was not able to watch (live) their first meeting I can't wait to see this fight.
