England - Super Middleweights Quarter-Finals
Quarter-Finals:
Nigel Benn vs Michael Alexander - This one was all Benn all the time as Benn scored 3 knockdowns, the final one tolling 10 at the 2:27 mark of the first round!
Chris Eubank vs Mark Baker - Eubank boxed fluidly throughout, opening a cut on the inside of the right brow of Baker, then peppering it with his jab, widening it throughout. The drubbing was finally ended when the cut reopened for the 2nd time and the ring doctor ordered the fight halted in the 11th for the TKO.
Carl Froch vs Glenn Catley - Froch got off to a show start, splitting the first 2 rounds before scoring an early knockdown in the 3rd, then keeping the pressure on until the referee had no choice but to end things for the safety of Catley.
Cornelius Carr vs Richie Woodhall - These 2 exchanged knockdowns and fought what very well may be the English Round of the Year in the 10th. Woodhall nearly had Carr out in the 10th, when suddenly Carr unleashed a beautiful hook from nowhere to score his only knockdown and take the round (17-20 by TBCB scoring) As the fight continued, Woodhall pulled ahead to take the decision 8-6 on all 3 cards.
