January 2009 - Title Tournament Fights

Featherweight: #1 Juan Manuel Marquez (12-1-1, 10 KO) vs #4 Young Corbett II (14-2, 9 KO)

Less than a minute into the fight, Marquez puts Corbett on the canvas. Corbett rises but takes a beating, and a minute later he does the best thing he can think of - he whacks Marquez below the belt. The ensuing contest would go back and forth, neither fighter in danger of being taken out but both having their moments. Corbett goes low again in the ninth, and this time loses a point for his indiscretion. Marquez would sweep the final three rounds, including dropping Corbett again in the 11th, before ultimately taking a unanimous decision 115-111, 115-111, 115-110.

Jr. Lightweight: #2 Yodsanan Nanthachai (9-1, 7 KO) vs #3 Joel Casamayor (9-1-1, 7 KO)

A very even bout as both fighters keep a good 70+ punch-per-round pace. Casamayor dominates the 5th and it seems he'll take the tide in his favor, but Nanthachai comes out swinging for the 6th and most exciting round of the fight. The final four rounds became surprisingly more tactical despite the closeness of the fight dictating both men should be letting it all hang out. In the end, it's 116-112, 115-113 and 114-114...a majority decision for Joel Casamayor!

Jr. Middleweight: #1 Sergio Martinez (16-0, 8 KO) vs #4 Alejandro Garcia (10-1, 10 KO)

Martinez thoroughly dictates the pace in the first round, but Garcia responds well in the second and the war is on. Martinez is dropped in the third, and twice in the fifth...the last time for good. Garcia wins by KO at 2:57 of round 5.
