Other Saturday Results
- Fernando Guerrero MD Ossie Duran. As I said before, Duran was a legitimate spoiler here. Per reports, Guerrero controlled most of the fight through the 8th, when he was cut over his eye with a clash of heads, and then started to lose his composure, including a knockdown in the 10th. Guerrero, a personal favorite prospect (not in terms of potential as much as just loving to watch him fight) claimed an NABO belt.
- Satoshi Hosono UD Hiroyuki Enoki. Enoki recently drew with then-titlist Takahiro Aoh and then lost a title bout to Chris John, but has since lost two bouts. Hosono moves to 16-0 and gets what is easily the best win of his career.
- Denis Boytsov TKO7 Jason Gavern. This was intended to be a showcase fight against the 18-6-3 Gavern, and hard-hitting Boytsov made the most of it. He scored 4 knockdowns and also forced 2 standing 8-counts (which they still have in Germany) en route to a dominant victory. Boytsov moves to 26-0 and could use one more step up in class before traing to take on a Klitschko.
- Jorge Diaz KO6 Yan Barthelemy. Barthelemy, an Olympic gold medalist, defected with Yuriorkis Gamboa and Odlanier Solis and got a big money contract from Arena Box, only to be dropped from it like a hot potato when he lost a fight against a nobody earlier in the year. Now Barthelemy has proven to have a sketchy chin as well. Diaz moves to 10-0, and the Atlantic City attraction becomes a prospect to watch.
- Other results: Ina Menzer defends her belts, Susi Kentikian unifies belts, John Duddy beats Michi Munoz, Ronny Rios looks like crap in beating 1-2-1 John Wampash, Omar Chavez beats yet another trial horse, and Luis Grajeda impresses beating Juan Carlos DIaz.

Yan Barthelemy was featherfisted and was chinny… not a good combo for the pros…
"Boxing is dirty," said Casamayor. " The day I’m not ready to be a dirty fighter is the day I don’t fight anymore because it will mean that I have no heart for it anymore."

Almost 6,000 on hand in Salisbury for the Gurrero fight
His management team does a great job promoting his local fights, and the local media gives Fernando lots of time to do it leading up to fights.

About double what the card in NYC did last night.

In the HW division
Can we just have a 6’7" robot that jabs at random times. If you can’t beat voris the jabber you don’t get a shot at the Klitschkos and to stay busy the bros will have to fight each other. Its win/win….

I guess someone could convince Alexander Dimitrenko this would be a worthwhile career move.
