(WC) Mike Perez 52-10-2 (35) vs Mark De Mori 36-7-2 (15)
(2nd Defense)

While De Mori may look like a soft touch on paper, he's unbeaten in 10 fights dating back to 1910 and has been clamoring for a big fight. Now he finds himself in the biggest possible fight in front of a capacity Australian crowd.

After Perez controlled the opening round with his right jab, they fought evenly in round two and then De Mori rocked the champion with two right hands during a big third round. With the crowd rocking, Mark went for it in the fourth and he walked into a pinpoint hook from the champion and Perez unloaded with both hands while De Mori covered along the ropes.

In round six, the challenger struck again with his right hand and Perez ate two more along the ropes in the final twenty seconds. They fought evenly until round nine when Mark stunned him again with his right hand and a follow up barrage left the champion with a mouse under his right eye.

The eleventh round was the best of the fight, with both men trading in the center of the ring for nearly the full three minutes(16-16). That took a lot out of the challenger and Perez fired off two clean 3 punch combinations to win the final round. After one judge saw it for Perez 115-113, the other two overruled it at 114-114 and we were left with a draw.


(WBO) David Haye 28-0-2 (18) vs Alexander Dimitrenko 23-6 (19)
(6th Defense)

Haye's speed was way too much for his much larger rival and he dropped the challenger late in round four with a hook before dropping Alexander twice in round five, the second time for the count from a thunderous right hand.


(IBO) Tony Thompson 26-0-1 (16) vs JD Chapman 27-4 (20)
(4th Defense)

Chapman hurt the champion in round two with a right hand and he outfought Tony in the third with a furious body assault. Thompson began to pick his shots and he busted open Chapman's right eye with an uppercut in the sixth and floored him with a cross in the seventh before cruising down the stretch for a UD. 117-111 x3


Chris Arreola 32-4-1 (28) vs Alexander Povetkin 41-7-1 (26)

Povetkin clipped Chris with several hard right hands in the opening round that had his left eye swelling. In the second they went toe to toe in the trenches with both scoring heavily to the body and the head(17-16). The inside brawl continued but Arreola started throwing his weight around and he got the best of the fourth, fifth and sixth rounds with short right hands and uppercuts to the chin. Early in the seventh Povetkin caught Chris with a sweeping hook that buckled his legs and the Russian unloaded with both hands and connected with twenty plus unanswered blows before the referee stepped in and called a halt.


Sinan Samil Sam 18-0-1 (9) vs Konstantin Onofrei 28-3 (15)

Onofrei scored a knockdown in the third with a right hand and followed up with damaging blows that left Sam with a swollen left eye. Sinan got it together and was scoring well on the inside when a vicious uppercut from Konstantin dropped him again in round eight. The undefeated Samil forged forward and swept the last two round escape with a MD. 95-93, 95-94 & 94-94


Audley Harrison 20-3 (18) vs Colin Kenna 18-6-1 (6)

After three slow rounds, Audley began to bounce Kenna off of the canvas like a basketball and he totaled five knockdowns, including the cross that iced Colin in round six.
