Good round. Even score on my card after two.

S has A on the ropes now. S is bloody but landing. Andrade turns it around, lands uppercuts, but then S with uppercuts of his won.

Now A has S backing up. Andrade pushes him to the floor.

Close round. I give the edge to Andrade slightly.

29-28 Andrade.

Andrade comes back with a nice right to the body, and then Stieglitz slams him with another right to the jaw. Andrade UNLOADS with Steiglitz on the ropes, and Stieglitz comes out bleeding pretty heavy from the nose.

Hell of a good round.

Stieglitz 10-9
38-38 through four

Andrade turns it around somewhat. The announcers are overemphasizing Stieglitz's moderately bloody face. It's no big deal.

Stieglitz throws more and wins the round on superior activity.

Uppercuts from Andrade have S backing up. A's round.

3-2 Andrade.

Stieglitz has a real killer instinct. When he smells blood, he takes the risk and goes after Andrade. That's always fun. And he's throwing some serious leather, a lot bigger punching than I expected out of a guy with 19 KO in 31 wins -- which isn't a BAD rate or anything, but he's throwing some wicked stuff in there.

There's a nasty uppercut from Stieglitz. As always, Andrade fights forward, keeps going, though this this isn't Andrade-Mack levels of activity from Andrade. Stieglitz looks like the much more polished boxer, I think. There are some nice shots from Stieglitz, but Andrade is picking off some stuff, too, keeping his hands higher than we've seen in the past. Either he has more respect for Stieglitz than he did Mack, or he's learned that you do have to defend at SOME point.

Nice short left hook from Andrade, and now he's backing Stieglitz down. This is another good round, tons of action from both guys, both cutting a great pace. Andrade keeps throwing, backing Stieglitz into the ropes, and he may have stolen that round. I didn't think he was winning it as clearly as the commentators did.

Andrade 10-9
Andrade 48-47

Stieglitz with a nice digging shot to the body and a combo, and Andrade comes right back on him. Andrade just does not show pain. He's an iceman.

Jabs from Stieglitz, which is one punch he definitely has on Andrade. Librado's jab is fairly lazy and not very effective, and I've never seen it be much different. Stieglitz blocks two uppercuts, and comes back with some nice work. The pace has slowed ever so slightly, making it still, you know, pretty good.

Stieglitz with three nice right hands, and he's winning this round. Beautiful left hook from Stieglitz over Andrade's right, but then Andrade just comes RIGHT BACK on him. STIEGLITZ IS BEING HAMMERED IN THE CORNER -- he's blocking a lot, but standing there like that gets fights stopped.

I think Stieglitz won enough of this round, but Librado keeps charging late.

Stieglitz 10-9
57-57

Slower round. S is faster than A, but A seems tougher. Both men taking the round off somewhat.

Andrade with several consecutive jabs reopens S's cut and steals the round with his aggression, dominating the last 20 seconds completely.

And there it is -- Hurrld even has it 59-55 for Andrade.

Jesus, they are trading now, and Stieglitz wins the exchange with a nasty right hand, then follows up with another good one. Right to the body from Andrade sneaks in. There's a right from Andrade, and Stieglitz fires back with a three-punch combo. This is a good damn fight!

Left by Andrade, and then another one moments later. Stieglitz wants to combo up, but Andrade is cutting off a lot of it. This is a tough fight to score, if you ask me. Final 30 seconds of the round, let's see if Andrade charges again.

Right to the body from Librado. Yeah, he's winning the last 30 seconds again. And with a round this  close, that gives him the nod.

Andrade 10-9
Andrade 67-66

Two BRUTAL rights from Stieglitz, and again they're just totally shaken off by Andrade. He is unreal.

Andrade is digging hard to the body, and NAILS him with a right, chases him across the ring, and IT'S OVER! The referee calls it off with Stieglitz being hammered!

Good fight, great finish by Librado Andrade.

Librado Andrade TKO-8

Boy, I really like this guy. He's a by God FIGHTER. Good performance by Stieglitz tonight, too. He fought hard.

He's got a lot to prove tonight. He could be fighting with a big chip on his shoulder.

Wow, Casamayor looks really, really pissed off tonight. This could be a sleeper great fight.

Too bad fights are won in the ring not in the entrance.

These two are ready to fight.

Here we go.

Casamayor with a slippery little left to start, and he's bouncing around at a distance, and WHAM, Casamayor sticks him, and DOWN GOES KATSIDIS!

Casamayor comes right back at him, and he's showing his hand speed. BAM! LEFT HAND, KATSIDIS DOWN AGAIN!

RIGHT ON THE BUTTON!

Wow.

Katsidis looks tight and tense. He needs to get this round out of his system. He can still win this fight, but Casamayor looks intense.

Where was this guy in November?

Casamayor is in Katsidis' head, and Katsidis isn't getting anything off. Casamayor is shutting him out this round, and two knockdowns? Who saw that coming?

Katsidis charges with a right, but Joel slips it.

There's a wake-up round for Michael Katsidis. This is the big leagues.

Casamayor 10-7

Katsidis with a quick flurry, Casamayor backs him up and shuts it down. Katsidis looks a little more relaxed already this round, throwing his punches with some confidence, but he's still going to have to land something big. Casamayor, like it or not, is clinching on those flurries and stopping them from going too far.

Casamayor with another nice left, and now Casamayor is caught off balance, and clinches again. He's clinching like a champion now. But a lot of that is due to Katsidis' lunging.

Casamayor looks like he's toying with Katsidis at this point, holding his hands low, brushing off his advances, and landing little scoring shots. Katsidis with a couple of decent shots, and his eye is already cut in the old familiar place, right over his left eye.

Hard right from Katsidis, but Casamayor DRILLS him with an even better left. This is not looking good for Michael Katsidis fans, let's put it that way. Casamayor is outclassing him, playing with him mentally and even physically.

Casamayor 10-9
Casamayor 20-16

Katsidis with a little flurry, Casamayor lets him know it didn't hurt him. Joel's been in with hard hitters before, to say the least.

There's some decent stuff from Katsidis, as he's looking to make it more of a barroom brawl. He's throwing good leather now, and while Casamayor is presenting the "didn't hurt" face, that stuff is scoring.

And Joel fights back. WHERE WAS JOEL CASAMAYOR IN NOVEMBER? This guy wouldn't slaughtered Santa Cruz.

The pace is all Casamayor. He's landing more punches, dictating where and when the fight happens, and showing his skills. He's blocking a lot of good stuff, not getting hit with anything square, and just plain dominating Katsidis at this point. And this was Michael's best round.

Casamayor 10-9
Casamayor 30-25

Casamayor with two lefts to the body, the second a little low. KATSIDIS NAILS CASAMAYOR, AND JOEL IS HURT! Right hand lands! This is popping off, and Joel is getting hurt now!

Wow!

Right to the chest from Katsidis. Casamayor is being pummeled this round! And they exchange hard shots!

About a minute to go. This has been a good night of boxing.

HARD left from Katsidis staggers Joel again. Right hand! Casa with a left! Casamayor is backed up and STILL getting hurt!

This is where some dramatic music would swell were this a Rocky movie. This is becoming a FIGHT.

Katsidis 10-9
Casamayor 39-35

They keep getting dangerously close to really slamming their heads together.

Good shots from Katsidis again, and again he shakes Casamayor. Joel is no longer landing the left hand, and it's because, as Bob Papa notes, Katsidis has gotten his right hand up to pick it off. Better than getting knocked down.

Casamayor now looks like he's totally out of rhythm, and Katsidis is backing him down the entire round, landing a few good shots here and there and winning his second straight frame.

We've got a momentum shift, and there's a low blow from Katsidis, which gets warned. HARD shots to the body from Katsidis are hurting Casamayor, and clearly so.

Another good round for Katsidis. Damn, you couldn't ask for much more out of the two fights tonight.

Katsidis 10-9
Casamayor 48-45

More good body work from Katsidis, and a shot up top from Casamayor. Those body shots that Katsidis keeps landing are really going to start adding up. Casamayor is 36, after all. Stamina is always going to be an issue from here on out, no matter how tip-top he keeps his shape.

HARD left hook from Katsidis and CASAMAYOR IS KNOCKED OUT OF THE RING WITH A RIGHT HAND!

HE'S BACK IN THE RING AT 8!

JESUS CHRIST!

Katsidis JUMPS ON HIM AGAIN! WHAT A FIGHT WE'VE GOT NOW!

Katsidis 10-8
Casamayor 56-55

WOW, Katsidis SHOVES Casamayor to the mat. This is a mean fight, just like I thought in the intros. Harold has it 56-55 for Katsidis now, too.

ANOTHER hard right from Katsidis, and another! Casamayor's clinches are now becoming too much in the way of life-saving efforts than defensive or mental tactics.

Casamayor with a straight left! Right hand from Katsidis. Trade of shots against the ropes. Left hand from Casamayor lands nicely.

Right from Katsidis comes up short, and a counter left from Joel does the same. Big right from Katsidis, and Casa clinches again before the bell.

Katsidis 10-9
65-65 through seven

Hell of a dramatic fight so far. It'd be even better without Casamayor's clinches.

They're both throwing nice stuff now, but Katsidis is snapping Casamayor's head back at will it seems.

Katsidis misses a big left, and tries to catch Joel walking with a right, but comes up short. Neither guy landed anything huge this round, but Katsidis landed the better punches and pressed the action. After going down two times in the first round, he's taken over this fight.

Katsidis 10-9
Katsidis 75-74

Katsidis swings for the fences with a wild right and misses badly. Nice left from Casamayor, and then a straight left follows. Katsidis looks like he's being hurt a little, and Casamayor is looking sharper again. Joel will have to do something special, I think. This kid is double tough.

Less clinching from Joel this round, back to trying to bait Katsidis into big counter opportunities. Jab from Casamayor takes some steam off of a Katsidis right hand, and Casamayor takes his first round since the third.

Casamayor 10-9
84-84

Katsidis has no idea what round it is. He thinks it's the 11th, and he's adamant about it.

He is badly hurt.

IT'S WAVED OFF AFTER ANOTHER SHOT

CASAMAYOR STOPS MICHAEL KATSIDIS

WHAT A FUCKIN' FIGHT

Joel Casamayor TKO-10
