Round 4

Lamont Peterson 2-1-0 vs Gianluca Branco 1-2-0
The fight started with Branco in control against a passive Peterson, but the Amercian turn the things and easily dominated the second round hurting Peterson with a great cross near the end of the round. Peterson continued in control on the third round and again put Branco in trouble with a smashing cross followed by a quick three punches barrage.
The fourth round had violent back and forth action with Branco taking the best part. Peterson finished this round with some major swelling under his left eye.
On the fifth round Peterson hit Branco with a strong cross but Branco managed to outland him and won the round. Branco finished this round with a cut outside his right eyebrow.
Finally Branco won the last round in which Peterson failed to land any clean punches. My scorecard was 58-56 for Branco. The offcial scorecards were 58-56 (x2) and 59-55 for the winner by unanimous decision Gianluca Branco. Great hit by the Italian!
Kendall Holt 1-1-0 vs Ali Funeka 1-1-0
Holt won a competitive first round, and then he dropped Funeka with a solid left-right combination a minute into the second round. The African got up and tried to survive but Holt connected punch after punch until the referee decided to stop the uneven fight.
So Kendall Holt was the winner by KO2.

Miguel Angel Cotto 2-0-0 vs Mike Arnaoutis 0-3-0
Mike Arnaoutis edged the first round and managed to won the second one too, taking an unexpected lead after two rounds.
Cotto won and actionless third round and then he totlally controlled the fourth stanza in which Arnaoutis did nothing.
The greekman woke up and won a very slow fifth round putting himself in the doors of an upsetting victory but finally Cotto won a one-sided last round to evened the fight.
Very cold fight, my scorecard was 57-57. The official scorecards were 57-57 (x2) and 58-56 for Cotto. So the fight was declared a majority draw.
