WBC LW ELIMINATORY TITLE FIGHT
Roberto Duran 14-2-1 (11) TKO1 Eduardo Morales 8-10-1 (4)
As it was expected this fight was a real mismatch, nobody knows why the WBC selected Eduardo Morales for this eliminatory fight, but it mattered little to Roberto Duran who destroyed the argentine on less than three minutes.
Duran battered Morales from the first second of the fight hurting him several times until feinting a body shot and conecting a great hook to Morales’ head that let him out on his feet forcing the referee to stop the fight.
Now a great fight is waiting us next month : undefeated WBC champion Benny Leonard against former WBO champ Robeto Duran.

WBA LW ELIMINATORY TITLE FIGHT
Joe Gans 13-3-1 (5) UD12 Battling Nelson 14-8-1 (9)
As it was expected it was a very competitive fight between this two good lightweights. But Joe Gans was a bit better and now he will face Joe Brown for the WBA LW title next month.
Nelson started the fight better winning the first two rounds both were very competitive ones.
Gans started to recover winning the following two rounds and for the first time totally dominating the fight on the fifth round. Gans continued his momentum winning the sixth round but Nelson won the seventh one to put himself on the fight again.
On the eighth round Gans totally outboxed and outlanded Nelson to easily won the stanza.
The ninth round was an even one, but on the tenth Gans again had a great round hurting Nelson with a cross.
Nelson put his las effort on the elventh round and won it on a onesided form also putting gans on trouble near the end of the stanza.
Finally Gans won the last round to secure his victory. My scorecard was 116-113 and the official ones were 116-113 (x2) and the official ones were 116-113 (x2) and 116-112.
